Chapter 31: Endlessly Melting, In the Sweetest Love

Holiday,

Although the weather was fine and the sky was blue, the wind was a little cold because of the approaching winter. On such a holiday, I and the girls of the Shinjo family were currently out together.

“This is the place.”

The place I led Arisa, Aina, and Sakuna-san to was one grave out of many. This was the place where my father and mother were laid to rest.

Aina had asked me before if she could meet them, Arisa and Sakuna-san also wanted to say hello, so they made time to come here.

“So this is where Hayato-kun’s father and mother are resting?”

“Yes.”

Sakuna-san drove us to this place. In the car, Arisa and Aina were talking about their fondness for me to the point of me getting embarrassed. It made me so embarrassed that it blew away the cold I was feeling, but well, it certainly wasn’t a bad time.

The air was friendly like that the whole time, but since it was in front of the grave, they were quietly staring at the place where both my parents were laid to rest.

“It has been kept clean. These flowers are fresh…”

“… Ah.”

As Sakuna-san said, the graves were clean and tidy. Although I cleaned it with my grandfather and grandmother every year, but the new flowers are probably not from my grandfather and grandmother,

“I think they are probably from my father’s side of the family.”

Even though they treat him as if he were disowned, from their point of view, it is only natural because their son has passed away.

“…You haven’t seen them again since you last met them a long time ago, right?”

“I guess so. I don’t really know anything about my father’s family.”

There really is a lot I don’t know about my dad’s family. I’m sure that the fact that there is such a distance between me and them regarding my father’s house shows how much they dislike me.

“Then let’s pray. Arisa, Aina too.”

“Un.”

“Okay.”

I lit incense and put it in front of the grave.

While thanking the girls for putting their hands together to pay their respects, I turned my attention once again to the graves where they are laid to rest.

“… It’s been a while. I’m so happy to see you again. How have you been?”

Are Mom and Dad living happily together in heaven? If so, I’m very happy for you as your son.

Mom was very sad after Dad passed away first. I was also sad when Mom passed away as if she was following in his footsteps, but now I pray that they will be happy in heaven together.

“… u… Damn it.”

But I still missed them.

When I come home, there’s no one there, and when I call out to her, she doesn’t answer… I was lonely for a long, long time. I thought I was used to it by now, but still, now that I have come here again, I feel like I’ll start to cry like a little child.

Somehow, I managed to keep my tears from flowing and stood up.

Then, Aina put down her hands and said.

“Nice to meet you, I am Aina Shinjo. You may think that I am a small girl who has only lived for 17 years, but let me tell you. I love your son, Hayato-kun. I will always be by his side, never make him feel lonely. So please don’t worry.”

Following Aina, Arisa also opened her mouth.

“I am Arisa Shinjo. Aina has said most of what I wanted to say, so I will say it simply. From now on, I will support Hayato-kun. I will do this to reassure him that he is not alone and that there is someone by his side that he can rely on, even if just a little. So please do not worry.”

After Aina and Arisa, it was Sakuna-san who came in the end.

“I’m Sakuna Shinjo. I’ll be brief too, since I’m after you two. Please leave Hayato in my hands. Even if I can’t be a real mother, I will make sure to fill his lonely heart.”

It seemed as if each of the three of them were making a declaration.

For me, I have already received more than enough love from all three of them. I feel a little sentimental when I come to these places, but I still love and enjoy every day since I got to know and befriend these women.

I went near the grave one last time.

“… Haha, it’s like this, but I’m okay. I’m really happy to have someone I love with me.”

With these words of reassurance, we turned our backs to the grave.

This is the end of today’s visit to the grave, but we will probably come back after New Year’s. My grandparents will probably be there, and it will probably be a bit noisy then.

“Then let’s go home. I’ll cook something good today♪”

“Really?”

“I’ll help you, Mom.”

“If Nee-san is going to help Mom, then I’ll have Hayato-kun for myself!”

“Whoa!”

I managed to support Aina, who jumped up and hugged me on my back.

Arisa tried to pull Aina away, saying it was unfair, and Sakuna-san was smiling at the two of them, but also looking at them a little enviously.

The visit to the grave, which reminded me of my father and mother, was in a way strongly etched in my memory that night.

As Sakuna-san said, we were treated to a sumptuous dinner. Being at the Shinjo house at night time means staying here… I went to Sakuna-san’s room this time.

Then, to my surprise, the three of them were all there.

“… Erm?”

Arisa, Aina, and Sakuna-san, the three beauties, greeted me in their pajamas.

What is the futon doing there on the floor instead of a bed? And why are the three of you there, don’t tell me…?

“Fufu, isn’t this kind of thing nice once in a while?”

“Yes, it is. Now that I think about it, we never slept together with Hayato-kun before.”

It’s true, but it’s not the first time I’ve been in… Sakuna-san’s room. If anything, it’s naturally not the first time I’ve slept with her either. I’ve been in there a few times before, but today somehow the scent of the woman that now fills this room seemed to come through strongly.

It was not a strange smell, but a very sweet, brain-numbing scent.

“Come on, Hayato-kun, give it up♪”

“Aina wait—”

I had stopped moving and Aina pulled my arm to take me to the center. Then, with a thump, she pushed me back, and I sat down with them easily, having been distracted.

“I caught you♪”

Sakuna-san hugged me from behind.

Sakuna-san’s soft b*****s were just behind my neck, and her arms were around me as if to say that she would not let me go.

“Sakuna-san…?!”

Sakuna-san caught me, and Arisa and Aina also came to hug me respectively.

I was hugged from every possible direction by the three of them, and the feeling of their ridiculously softness assaulted me. Moreover, all three of them seemed to be pressing their b*****s against me, as if they intended to do so, and my reason seemed to be rapidly being eroded.

“Don’t get too hard, Hayato-kun.”

Arisa-san, I think that’s impossible…

“Hayato-kun, you can ease up, okay?”

I feel like if I make myself at ease, I’ll be eaten up instantly.

“Hayato-kun, please enjoy your after-dinner dessert♪”

…May I say something anyway?

I know I’ve already melted down, but I feel like if I stay in this family, I’m going to be really screwed up. I don’t mean to say that they’ll make me a bad guy, but if they do express their love to me every single day like this, it’s going to be worrisome, seriously.

“… Umm… you three?”

“Hm?”

“What’s wrong?”

“What is it?”

They whispered in my ear like real ASMR, and I felt a tingle down my back.(E/N: H**L YEAH! Just got hooked to asmr and now our dear hayato experienced it.)

In front of the three beautiful women, who looked like anthropomorphic spiders that never let their prey escape, I said,

“Is it possible for me to escape–?”

To my question, the three girls smiled beautifully and said absolutely not.

The bottomless swamp is a sweet trap, and I’m not allowed to escape, but I am sure that I am the one who jumped into it myself.

“Hayato-kun, I dare to say.”

“That’s right. This is already a declaration of my determination.”

“You agree. Right, Hayato-kun?”

“We won’t let you ever escape.”

I wanted to continue to be trapped… in that slightly scary, yet sweet trap.

It was a choice made because I wanted to immerse myself in their kindness and warmth, and because I felt very happy in the moment.

[Postscript]

Well, that brings us to an end!

I’m not sure if I should continue, since this would be a completely sweet harem life, but I’ll think about it a bit more.

Once again, I would like to thank everyone for making it possible for me to continue this far.

Thank you so much for your ratings, your supportive comments, etc.!
