They are really too low!

"Can I join?" Hoshino asked.

"I refuse." Yukino Yukinoshita answered without hesitation.

"Am I that annoying?" Hoshino sighed. "Don't worry, I won't interfere with your club activities, and I certainly won't boss you around."

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I haven't yet come up with a reason why I absolutely need you to join," Yukino Yukinoshita replied indifferently.

“Ghost members.” Hoshino raised her index finger, finding a reason for her. “Every club has such people. It’s no trouble for you at all. You can get rid of the ghost members when you find like-minded friends.”

The implication is that he simply joined the Service Club and would not participate in its club activities.

Yukino Yukinoshita was silent for a moment, then said, "Is this your advice to me?"

"Mutual help among classmates?" Hoshino was not quite sure.

"Is there something you need my help with?" Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at him sideways. "Let's make it clear, my Service Club isn't a wishing well."

"...I don't really have any requests for you." Hoshino subtly shifted his gaze. He was currently somewhat troubled, such as how to arrange his time in the future and how to handle the feelings between them.

However, I definitely can't say this to Yukino Yukinoshita.

"I'll save it for you later," Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly.

Hoshino saw that he hadn't said a word, silently turned around, and quietly sat back down in his seat.

……

Sure enough, during lunch break, they both sent messages to Hoshino.

Kazuki Fuuka wanted to continue meeting at the library, Kasugano Sora wanted to have dinner with him, and Eriri also asked him hesitantly if he was with Kasugano Sora.

Hoshino thought about it for a long time, then declined Mikazuki Fuka's invitation and asked her if she wanted to come over for dinner.

After a while, Mikazuki Fuka said that she was not mentally prepared yet and would talk about it next time.

It seemed she was having second thoughts. Hoshino felt a little conflicted, but he had already made up his mind and could only ask her to put up with it for now.

So, Hoshino returned to the rooftop where they had been before.

Just like last time, Kasugano Sora and Eriri sat on either side of him. The two girls hummed softly as soon as they met and slightly raised their chins.

Yes, they're both quite pleased with themselves now.

Kasugano Sora and Hoshino Mi have done a lot of bad things, and they are only one step away from each other, so naturally she has a strong sense of superiority over Eriri.

Eriri, because of what happened yesterday, felt ashamed and a little smug because she believed she had done something bad with Hoshino Mi without Kasugano Sora's knowledge.

"See, I'll feed you."

As if showing off her close relationship with Hoshino Mi, Kasugano Sora, with a gentle smile, reached out her chopsticks to feed Hoshino Mi.

She glanced at Eriri out of the corner of her eye and saw Eriri's slightly unpleasant expression. Her smile became even sweeter, and she unconsciously moved closer to Hoshino, pressing her soft, plump chest against her. There was no trace of the timid look she had shown earlier that morning.

Hoshino opened her mouth and silently ate the food that Kasugano Sora offered her.

The next moment, Eriri stepped on his foot from below.

Although it wasn't very painful, Hoshino was grimacing a little.

"That's disgusting, it gives me goosebumps." Eriri was very unhappy, glaring at Kasugano Sora. "Can you please not do this kind of thing in front of other people?"

"What I'm doing feeding Eriri has nothing to do with her, right?" Kasugano Sora put her chopsticks away. "If you don't like it, you don't have to watch."

"Hmph, she talks like she's his girlfriend." Eriri pouted. "She's clearly still a little kid who needs to be taken care of."

"I'm not a child!" Kasugano Sora retorted, still a little cook yesterday!

“I’m a year older than you, but in my eyes you’re still a child.” No matter what Kasugano Sora says, Eriri acts like an older sister.

“Age doesn’t mean anything. Anyway, my relationship with Mi is better than yours!” Kasugano Sora retorted, tightly hugging Hoshino Mi’s arm.

"If feeding each other counts as a good relationship, anyone can do that!" Eriri crossed her arms, a slightly smug look on her face. "Kyo, I understand how you feel, but there are many things in this world that are much closer than feeding each other, you know?"

As she spoke, her black-stockinged foot touched Hoshino's calf, as if hinting at what the two had done yesterday.

Strangely, Kasugano Sora did not refute, but nodded in deep agreement.

"Hmm, Eriri is right, there are indeed many more fun things in this world." Kasugano Sora suppressed the smile on her lips with a reserved manner halfway through her sentence.

"It's just living together, what's so special about that?" Eriri scoffed. "Even if we sleep together, it's probably only because you're afraid of bugs at night, and he only holds you to sleep because he wants to take care of you, right?"

She wouldn't fall for it. So what if they lived together? She saw it with her own eyes yesterday, and even had her feet stomped on it with black stockings.

"Hmph, think what you want. Anyway, the relationship between me and Mi is beyond Eriri's comprehension." Kasugano Sora revealed a rather superior smile.

"Only a perverted lolicon would be interested in someone as small as you." Eriri didn't believe it at all. If Hoshino Mi couldn't resist, he should have made a move on her first.

"What do you mean? Aren't you the same?" Kasugano Sora was a little agitated.

"Hmph, what a pity. Compared to Kasugano Sora, I'm still a bit more confident." Eriri proudly puffed out her breasts, the slight bulges of which seemed to be fuller and firmer than Kasugano Sora's.

"It's not small, it's not huge breasts!" Kasugano Sora said with disdain.

"At least I'm different from you. Although I look small, I'm actually 80... Anyway, I'm better than you!" Eriri almost blurted out her measurements in front of Hoshino Mi, but luckily she quickly changed her mind.

"So what if you're amazing? For Mi, it's still more comfortable on my side!" Kasugano Sora said, eagerly looking up at Hoshino Mi. "Right? Right?"

Eriri's eyes widened. She hadn't expected Kasugano Sora to be so bold, lacking even the modesty of a girl.

"Kimi, whose do you think is bigger?" Since Kasugano Sora dared to ask, Eriri certainly couldn't sit idly by, but her tone sounded more like she was threatening Hoshino Mi.

Facing their gazes, Hoshino simply took a deep breath.

"I have something to tell you."

After saying that, Hoshino looked at Kasugano Sora.

"W-What is it?" Kasugano Sora felt a sudden flutter in her heart. His expression was so serious. Could it be that she was more comfortable on her side?

Oh no, no, is he planning to tell Eriri about the bad things he and she did together?

Having spent so much time together, Kasugano Sora felt as if she could sense Hoshino Mi's thoughts, and her heart grew increasingly tense, her cheeks burning.

"What do you want to say?" Eriri was a little annoyed. Hoshino saw that Kasugano Sora blushed after just one glance, and this reaction seemed too suspicious.

Hoshino first took Kasugano Sora's small hand, and then, taking advantage of Eriri's inattention, suddenly grabbed her small hand tightly, causing Eriri's body to tense up instantly.

Just as Eriri was trying to hide her shyness, Hoshino spoke up.

"I like you all."

In an instant, Eriri stared blankly at him, and Kasugano Sora also froze on the spot.

Hoshino, holding their two little hands, continued as if ignoring them, "I like Sora, I like Eriri, I like them both equally, I like them so much."

“Ever since I was a child, I’ve been thinking about whether I should confess to both of you at the same time, but I’m a little conflicted because it sounds like only a fickle man would do that, and how could any girl be willing to share her boyfriend with someone else?”

"However, later I felt a little unwilling. If I could only choose one person, what would happen to the other person?"

"If I choose Eriri, will Sora be able to live alone? Without my help, will she be able to adapt? Will her body be able to handle it?"

"If I choose Sora, how will my relationship with Eriri change? Will we just be ordinary childhood friends, or will we go our separate ways?"

"Maybe it's arrogance, or maybe it's a man's possessiveness, but I can't give up another person. I'm greedy. I want to have both of you at the same time. I feel like I can't live without the two of you, and I feel like you can't live without me either."

At this point, Hoshino looked at the girl beside him and slowly uttered that sentence again.

"I like you all."

This confession came so suddenly that even Kasugano Sora wasn't prepared, let alone Eriri, who was completely dumbfounded.

Seeing their blank expressions, Hoshino couldn't help but smile.

"I really like you two, I like you so much."

Then, Hoshino let out a long sigh of relief, finally saying it, and felt somewhat relieved.

He still couldn't accept secretly cheating on them. Liking someone is something that should be said openly and honestly, otherwise he would be letting them down.

Chapter 106 Reaction

Hoshino held the two girls' small hands. A gentle breeze stirred their hair, bringing with it a pleasant, innocent fragrance.

He was flanked by beautiful girls; such treatment was probably something only he could enjoy.

But before Hoshino could enjoy it for long, Eriri next to her suddenly let out an even more deafening scream, like a pressure cooker boiling over.

Just as Hoshino was about to cover his ears, his collar was suddenly grabbed.

"What are you talking about?! This is a million times worse than cheating!!!"

The next moment, Eriri's pretty face was close to his eyes. Her face was flushed, showing a hint of shyness, but more so of anger and embarrassment.

"Who told you to confess like that? Who would confess to two girls at the same time? Do you even understand the difference between reality and a harem game?"

Eriri excitedly shook Hoshino Mi, her twin tails practically slapping against his face.

"You actually dare to want them all? Do you think this is some kind of lewd harem manga? You think you can just say 'I love you all' and go all out? You perverted foot fetishist, I knew you were only thinking about threesomes!"

Eriri was particularly excited this time, and not only did she speak without restraint, but she also made Hoshino almost unable to breathe.

"This is the only optimal solution I can think of, and there's no rule that says you can only have one girlfriend," Hoshino said, panting.

"Optimal solution my foot! Monogamy is common sense! Don't you understand common sense? Do you expect me and Xiaoqiong to change our surnames to yours now?" Eriri was getting more and more embarrassed and annoyed. This kind of thing is inherently infuriating. He was given a choice, and he said he wanted both. Who could stand that?

"Do you mean you want me to give up on you?" Hoshino asked coldly.

Eriri's blood froze instantly. Her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. As if struck by lightning, she slowly shrank, and even the small hand clutching her collar gradually lost its strength.

"Who cares what you do? You chose me, and I'm not happy about it!" Seeing Hoshino's gaze, Eriri still wanted to stand up for herself and make herself look disdainful of him.

But as she talked, Eriri felt very uncomfortable; even though she was just talking, her heart still ached.

“I don’t want to give up Eriri,” Hoshino Mi said. “Eriri is so cute, and she’s my childhood friend. I don’t want her to be with anyone else, and I don’t want her to marry someone else and have children.”

Normally, Eriri would be very happy right now, since it's rare for him to say such nice things. She might even tease him a little with a bit of arrogance.

However, her mind was in complete turmoil at that moment.

On one hand, she felt happy and shy, and on the other hand, she felt sad and unwilling. What she wanted was not this kind of confession, but something more romantic, and a confession only to her.

"W-Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Eriri stammered.

"I wasn't planning to say it so soon, who knows how you two would react? But these past few days, I've been thinking about it, if I don't say it now, when will I ever be able to?"

Hoshino suddenly smiled, as if he had relaxed. He placed his hand on Eriri's small hand and slowly helped her loosen her fingers from gripping her collar.

"Actually, I just feel a bit uncomfortable. You two know you like me, but you still pretend not to see it and won't even say a word to confess. That just makes you scum, right?"

"Who likes you?" Eriri struggled for a moment, "Shameless."

“It’s shameless, I’m just that selfish.” Hoshino gently released her small hand, her movements very gentle. “I don’t want you to think I’m choosing between the two of you, to make you worry, to make you feel like you’re enemies. I just want you to know one thing: you are both my favorite girls, and I intend to have them both.”

Eriri turned her pretty face away; she didn't want Hoshino to see her expression.

"You're good at talking. Who knows if you're just trying to trick me into having a threesome with Xiaoqiong? Anyway, I won't agree to your perverted fantasy so easily."

“I never said you had to agree to me right now,” Hoshino said. “I just wanted to tell you how I feel, what I’m thinking. I want you to know that’s the only way to be fair.”

Eriri snorted softly, expressing her dissatisfaction, but she still remembered what Hoshino had told her last time.

Hoshino Mi doesn't want to give up on her, and she doesn't want to give up on Hoshino Mi either. Just imagining Hoshino Mi with someone else makes her feel extremely sad.

If Hoshino Mi feels the same way, it seems understandable.

But is this really okay?

Eriri was conflicted. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was the one who was wronged. It was clearly Hoshino Mi who wanted to deceive the two girls. But when she saw Kasugano Sora on the other side, she suddenly woke up.

The person who relies on Hoshino Mi the most is Kasugano Sora, and Kasugano Sora is the only one who cannot accept Hoshino Mi choosing someone else.

However, Kasugano Sora has remained silent until now, her head bowed, and her expression is not visible.

"Sora?" Hoshino called her name softly, touching her small hand as if testing her.

“We already agreed on this.” Kasugano Sora lowered her head, not letting Hoshino Mi take her hand.

She was referring to the agreement; Hoshino had promised that if she won, he would make her his girlfriend.

However, for her, Hoshino's confession today broke the promise they made at the time.

He wanted it all; she wanted him.

“I remember, but I haven’t lost yet.” Hoshino grabbed her small hand without saying a word. “I won’t lose either. Sora will definitely be my bride.”

"I don't want to be a bride like that!" Kasugano Sora struggled violently, trying to shake off Hoshino Mi's hand. "What if I win? Will Mi really give up on Eriri?"
