Chapter 88 Part 2

「I won’t say right away, but one of these days, make sure to bring Sayaka, Riko, and Eimi to our house and let me meet them, okay?」

「Huh…?」

「I mean, rather than just hearing about them from you, I want to personally meet them and find out what kind of girls you are dating, Yuu-chan.」

「I, I want to meet them too!」

It was only at times like this that Elena immediately jumped on the bandwagon as well.

「Ah, err… We’re going to be busy with student council works, so…」

「Then when can you bring them over?」

Averting his eyes, Yuu looked at the calendar.

It was almost the middle of June.

Truthfully, he would like to avoid letting his lovers meet his mother.

So he had no choice but to postpone it as long as possible.

「W, when summer vacation starts….」

「It can’t be helped. Then I’ll look forward to it.」

「Y, yes. So, I have one more thing to tell you, but….」

For Yuu, this was the main business.

「Both Sayaka-senpai and I have our birthdays in June, so this coming Saturday, you see, we thought about holding a birthday party with the members of the student council, including me.」

「Oh, my.」

He would probably spend the 30th, his birthday, with his family.

Sayaka’s birthday had already passed.

As such, they had discussed holding it this coming weekend, which fell right in the middle.

「The place will be an apartment near the school where Sayaka-senpai lives alone. And then… on that day, I’ll drop by on my way home from school and stay the night there, so….」

He lived at home, so he had never stayed over until now.

For Yuu, who was mentally an adult, it was troublesome, but not only was he still a high school student status-wise, he also lived with his family, so there was nothing that he could do about it.

As such, so as to not cause them unnecessary worry, he thought he should tell them about it.

「Hmm….」

「Eeh….」

Sure enough, both Martina and Elena showed a complicated look on their faces when they heard Yuu’s words.

However, given that he was in male-female relationships with the girls, it was probably better than being all against it and forcing them to go to a hotel in town, or something.

As long as they took his safety into consideration, Yuu thought they had no choice but to accept.

The first to open her mouth was Martina.

「Umm, I also thought I had to tell you about it today, but actually I have to go on an overnight business trip starting Friday afternoon, and I won’t be back until Sunday noon, you see.」

「Huh, is that so?」

By the look on her face, he could tell that she didn’t really want to go.

「Honestly, I don’t want to go, but… starting this year I get more and more responsibilities, and the time I have to go on a trip increase, you see.」

She worked for a local newspaper company, but despite that, it seemed that she still had to go on a business trip outside the prefecture from time to time.

In other words, Martina had risen to such a position.

Martina started out as a part-time employee, but her hard work was highly regarded by the employees she worked with, and she climbed up the ladder to become an associate and then an employee.

Even now, if her superiors still highly regarded her performance and gave her a promotion, as a family, he believed that was a delightful thing.

However, Martina herself seemed to regret that as she got busier and busier, she got to spend less and less time with Yuu.

In addition to that, as someone standing in the managerial position, she was caught between her superiors and her subordinates, and as a former company employee himself, Yuu could easily imagine how mentally demanding it would be.

「Mom, I’m glad that they appreciate your hard work, but if you ruin your body or mind because of it, all of it will be for nothing, you know? If you’re okay with me, I’ll listen to your complaints or whatever, but please be sure to take proper breaks and try not to overwork yourself, okay?」

「Yes, yes. I’ve been making you worry all this time, but from now on, I’m going to pull myself together, so if there is anything that bothers you, please talk to me.」

「Yuu-chan, Elena… Ufufu. I thought you two were still just little kids, but before I know it, you have become such grown-ups.」

「I mean, I’m already an adult, after all. And I’m turning 19 this year.」

「I’ll be 16 years old at the end of this month, huh….」

「I suppose so. First of all, we have to celebrate Yuu-chan’s birthday in a grand way!」

「Ahaha. I’m looking forward to it.」

After the atmosphere became more relaxed, Martina continued the conversation.

「And then, I was thinking of holding a farewell party for Sera-chan, who is going back to Hokkaido this weekend, but… Yuu-chan won’t be home this weekend, right? And I’ll also be on a business trip, so….」

「「Ah!」」

The training period of Sera, who had been coming over to play on weekend, had come to an end, and she would be leaving this coming Sunday.

Regardless of her wishes, it seemed that there was a good chance that she would be assigned to the branch office in Hokkaido.

After they said goodbye here, they wouldn’t be able to meet each other so easily.

That was why, as a farewell party, Martina had planned to invite her to their house for a dinner, but the time didn’t align with her and Yuu’s convenience.

「If it’s Sunday noon, I think mom and I will be home, but taking into account big sis Sera’s departure time, I guess that’s not a good idea, huh….」

「You’re staying in the city, so you should be fine, but I might be late….」

「As expected, should we hold it on a different day of the week?」

「Then, I’ll ask Sera directly!」

It was already past work hours, so Elena decided to try calling the place where Sera was staying that she had asked her the other day.

The landline phone was located at the end of the living room, so they could overhear the conversation the two were having.

As they did, they could more or less understand what they were talking about.

Finishing the call, Elena came back to the sofa where Yuu and Martina were sitting with a wry smile.

「You see, Sera said that as long as she could see Yuu, everything is fine!」

「Haa… Fine. Mama should just go and focus on her work, right?」

「Mom.」

Yuu took Martina’s hand and comforted her, who was a little depressed by Sera’s too frank words.

「And then, you see, since she has Saturday off, she said she wants to go to Tobo Another World Park.」

Tobo Another World Park, or TAWP for short, was somewhat similar to the one that existed in Yuu’s former world, one of the best amusement parks in Japan, located in Chiba but bearing the name of Tokyo.

Based on medieval Europe, it was said to recreate a fantasy world of swords and magic, and even legendary creatures such as fairies and elves.

It seemed that characters taken from fairy tales and myths that would be popular with women, such as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, would greet you there in a large group.

Therefore, it was very popular among women from children to adults, and Yuu learned from TV that it was very crowded on weekends and holidays.

「In that case, why don’t we have her come over on Friday evening, have dinner, and then let her hang out with Elena on Saturday? You’ve never been there before either, have you, Elena?」

「I, I guess so.」

His elder sister, who was always sticking to him at home and was introverted and had few friends at school, had never been to TAWP, which was unusual for a girl her age.

This, too, would be a good opportunity for her.

「Then, let’s go with that, shall we?」

「Yes. What should we do for the dinner?」

「For such an occasion, how about getting some sushi? Sera-chan likes fish, doesn’t she?」

As such, it was decided that on Friday, Martina would go to work and directly go on a business trip, and Sera would come to stay over in the evening. The next morning, Elena and Sera would go to TAWP to play, and Yuu would stay over at Sayaka’s apartment after school.

On Friday night, Martina, who acted as stopper, would be gone.

As a result, just how out of control his two elder sisters would become?

For his part, Yuu didn’t not feel a little bit scared, but deep down, his heart was pounding wildly in anticipation, and he was looking forward to the weekend.
