Kapitel 60: Chapter 59 ~ Meanwhile, on the girl’s side.
A couple of hours after Yuuji went out to accompany Tatsuya and escort the Magatama Relic to FLT's lab, Mayumi came to the mansion to have a conversation regarding her newly formed relationship with Yuuji.
Aika was the one who chose the time of meeting and she chose to meet with Mayumi this morning after Yuuji told her he'll be out on that day.
Yuuji was speechless when she decided that, and tried to persuade her to let him be there while they talk since he's related to the conversation. But, Aika insisted to him that it'll be a talk exclusive for his girlfriends and a chance for them to get closer so they could get along with each other without his help.
So in the end, Yuuji acquiesced and told Mayumi that he won't be there during their meeting.
Surprisingly, Mayumi was also in agreement with Aika and Erika since she also wanted to get along with them not only because they're "Yuuji's girlfriends", but as true friends as well.
Mayumi came in a beautiful, one-piece white dress, and she was greeted with Aika, who was dressed in a casual t-shirt and short pants, and Erika, who wore a pink, sleeveless tank top and short pants.
They were dressed casually, but the two welcomed Mayumi warmly and with open arms, and they immediately lead her to the living room.
Mayumi sat on the long couch while the two took their seats on the single couches on either side of the coffee table before them. And once Aika finished preparing tea for them, they began conversing casually.
"Here you go, Mayumi-senpai~ It's chamomile tea, one of Yuuji's favorites~"
"T-Thank you, Aika-chan."
Mayumi stuttered slightly as nervousness filled her heart.
"I… I never expected you and Yuuji-kun to be living in such a massive and beautiful mansion…"
Mayumi instinctively looked around, and only now did she notice the grand sight of the luxury before her. Even as an heiress of the prominent and rich Saegusa family, she was impressed by the mansion, especially when it was owned by two high school students.
She then recalled the massive courtyard and garden outside, and was thoroughly impressed. It looked… almost fantastical considering how picturesque they were, as if they had just been tended to perfection by a master horticulturist.
"Fufu~ Right~? Yuuji-kun is a much more successful man than you think, Mayumi-senpai~ He's been making tens of thousands of dollars every single day through day trading, but since he never brags about it, no one knows about it~!"
"Really? I thought this was an inheritance he received from his parents… I never knew Yuuji-kun was such a skilled trader. He never mentioned it before."
"I know right? I knew about that after becoming his girlfriend too. He never said anything about what he did."
Erika crossed her arms and smiled in reminiscence to the time when he found out how much money Yuuji was making with just a few clicks of a button. Every time he did something, thousands of dollars would enter his account, sometimes even hundreds of thousands. If she didn't know he was trading, she would've thought he was robbing banks or something by hacking into their digital banking system.
She still remembered how shocked she was when she found out, so she could understand Mayumi's surprise at the revelation.
"Hehe~ The two of you don't need to worry~ Yuuji didn't tell you not because he didn't trust you, but because he never really considered it to be an important matter. To him, making that kind of money from trading is just a result of his daily routine~"
"...To have that kind of mentality as a teenager is amazing in itself."
"Uhn~ He might not know it, but these kinds of things made him an even more attractive target for girls in addition to his appearance~! After all, who wouldn't want a young, handsome, and rich man who could give you a life of luxury~"
"I agree. That's why, it's good that he doesn't go off running his mouth about this. Or else, he would attract even more attention from girls."
"It's true… Yuuji-kun is already extremely popular as he is. If girls know he's also extremely rich, Yuuji-kun might not be able to go to school peacefully again."
Mayumi agreed with a helpless smile. She could easily imagine just how many more girls he would attract if they knew he lived in a luxurious grand mansion with millions of dollars in his account.
Although such an amount wasn't that impressive when compared to the riches that the 10 master clans, and some of the hundred families, have, very few people actually own that amount of money personally.
Even she, an heiress to the Saegusa family, only has a few millions in her account that she had accumulated from her investments throughout the years and from the allowance given to her by her family.
As a first year student who didn't hail from a prominent family, Yuuji's riches were unquestionably unheard of.
"Now now~ Enough about that~ It's not like you come here to talk about that kind of thing right, Mayumi-senpai~?"
Mayumi's body tensed a bit and her cheeks immediately blushed red. Although the heiress had gone through countless meetings with prominent figures, this was an entirely different thing! Although she felt nervous then, her mask, which she had developed for years through her family's education, was able to hide all of her anxiety and nervousness and made her appear confident, graceful, and composed.
But this time, no mask would be able to hide the truth, because this was a matter of heart. And so, she began fidgeting in her seat as Aika looked at her excitedly.
"U-Uhn… I-I'm here today to tell you that… I-I've begun dating Yuuji."
She felt as if she was saying this to his parents. But they were his girlfriends as well! So the first instinct of her was to shrink down and make herself small to brace herself from his girlfriends' angered shouts and yells for daring to steal him from them.
But to her surprise, it was the complete opposite.
"That's great~!!! Congratulations, Mayumi-senpai~! I've been waiting for you to finally become our sister~!!!"
"E-Eh?"
Aika plopped down to the seat beside her and grabbed her hands in excitement, looking at her with a brilliant smile that reflected genuine happiness.
Befuddled, Mayumi looked at Aika with a shocked confusion before turning her gaze towards Erika.
"Ahahaha, we actually knew that you're both interested in each other, so we're just waiting for the time Yuuji actually confessed to you. So congratulations, Mayumi-senpai."
"R-Really?!"
Erika then stood up from her seat and sat on Mayumi's other side.
"Uhn. We might not have the chance to interact with each other much, but now that we're both dating Yuuji, I hope we can become closer and support him together. Please take care of me, Mayumi-senpai."
"Y-Yes… Likewise, Chi- I mean, E-Erika-san."
"Fufufu~ Then, let's show Mayumi-senpai around this mansion~! That way, you can familiarize yourself with the house and you won't get lost the next time you come and visit~!"
Aika pumped up her fist to the sky in excitement and stood up, grabbing both of Mayumi and Erika's hands to pull them up.
"A-Alright! Aika-san, please don't pull me!"
"Oi Aika, stop pulling me too!"
Ignoring their plea, Aika continued to drag them towards their first destination.
"Hehe~ Then, for our first destination, the most important place in this mansion is… Yuuji's room~!"
"Eh?! I-Is it fine to come in there when he's not here?"
"Don't worry about that, Mayumi-senpai~ Yuuji's room has become Erika and my room too since we often sleep together~"
"E-Eh?! Y-You do?!?!?!"
"Of course~ Here it is~!!!"
Aika opened the door and revealed the enormous, luxurious master's bedroom of the mansion where they spend their time the most.
Then, she took Mayumi inside and explored the entire room, the closet, the master's bathroom, and the personal gym behind the master's bathroom that overlooked the courtyard.
Mayumi's heart was thumping loudly. This was the first time in her life ever visiting a man's bedroom that didn't belong to her father or family member. Moreover, it was her lover's. She couldn't help but feel super nervous and embarrassed. But, she still looked around with great curiosity and interest. After all, by looking around his room, she could get a glimpse of his life that she had never seen before.
After they thoroughly inspected Yuuji's room, Aika lead Mayumi to other parts of the mansion. They went to the kitchen, see the other rooms, the swimming pool, the spa, the underground gym, training ground, lab, as well as the game room and guest rooms on the second floor.
"Wow… It's really big…"
"Uhn~ But honestly, we rarely go anywhere other than the first and underground floor."
"Yeah. We never used the game room and since we sleep on the first floor, we never used the rooms on the second floor too."
"I see…"
"Anyway~! Let's move on to our next order of business!!!"
Mayumi and Erika showed a confused expression as Aika exclaimed in excitement.
"To start deepening our bond with Mayumi-senpai and welcome her as our sister, let's go to the spa together~!!!"
"E-Eh?! S-Spa?"
"Mm~ It's the spa we saw before~! And don't worry about the change of clothes~! You can borrow mine or Erika's~! Or if you want… You can also wear Yuuji's shirt~"
"N-No thank you! I-I'll borrow your clothes…"
"Great~! Then let's start bonding~!!!"
"Hya-! W-Where are you touching, Aika-san! S-Stop!"
Mayumi squirmed when she felt Aika touching her butt.
"Now now~ It's fine now that we're sisters~!"
"R-Really?"
Erika then bonked Aika's head.
"No it's not. Stop harassing her on her first day with us."
"Okaaaay~ I'm sorry, Mayumi-senpai~"
"G-Geez…"
Faced with the bundle of joy, excitement, and lewdness herself, Mayumi had no choice but to let herself be dragged from the living room to the spa which was located near the swimming pool.
And although she was hesitant at first, the heiress quickly melted into the hot bath and enjoyed her time conversing and relaxing with her new close friends and "sisters".
After a long soak in the spa, the girls changed into comfortable clothes and returned to the living room.
Mayumi borrowed Aika's navy blue, long-sleeved cotton pajamas and pants. It was slightly oversized for her since she was a bit more petite and shorter than Aika. But, AIka and Erika convinced her that it made her look even cuter, so she decided against asking for a different one.
Meanwhile, Aika and Erika wore their usual sleeveless tank tops and short pants. Sometimes, they would wear Yuuji's shirts, and in Aika's case, going naked was also an option for her. But, since Mayumi was still new to this kind of relationship, she decided against walking around naked so as to not shock her too much.
After brewing a nice, warm cup of tea together, they sat together on the couch in the living room and continued their chat from the spa earlier.
Aika told Mayumi about the "past" she shared with Yuuji. How they were victims of inhumane experimentations to create the greatest magician in the world. How they were rescued by the JSDF, more specifically Major Kazama. How they volunteered to become soldiers for a number of years to repay him for saving their lives. And how they finally came to First High for a regular high school life.
As she was telling her story, tears fell down the corners of Mayumi's beautiful crimson eyes. And when Aika finished, Mayumi enveloped her figure into a warm, gentle hug.
"I… I didn't know you two went through such horrible things… I'm sorry."
Aika shook her head as she returned Mayumi's hug and wrapped her arms around her petite figure.
"Don't be, Mayumi-senpai… Yuuji and I are happy now, especially when you and Erika are here with us. So please don't cry. Yuuji and I don't really like being pitied because of our past. Instead of wallowing in the past, we prefer looking forward to the brighter future. I just wanted to tell you this story so that you can know more about us. So let's not dwell in it any longer, okay?"
Aika separated herself from Mayumi and gave her a brilliant smile. The smile of someone who had conquered her past trauma and turned to face the light once again. A powerful smile that struck a chord in Mayumi's heart.
She wiped her eyes and gave Aika a gentle, loving smile in return, just like that of a gentle older sister.
"Mm. I understand, Aika. Then, I will not mention this again in the future."
"Uhn~ Oh, and please keep the secret about Yuuji and I being in the military a secret, okay? Don't tell anyone, especially the Saegusa family!"
"Of course. I will keep it a secret. Please don't worry."
Just then, the sound of a mechanical door opening resounded, grabbing all three girls' attention.
"Ah, it must be Yuuji~!"
Aika perked up as she rose from her seat. And confirming her words, Yuuji's voice resounded from the entrance.
"Aika, Erika, I'm home."
"Yes~ Mayumi-senpai, let's go welcome him home together~"
"A-Ah, w-wait-!"
Without allowing her time to prepare her heart, Aika lifted Mayumi up to her feet with a surprising amount of strength, and dragged her to the entrance with Erika following closely behind.
And when they arrived at the foyer, Mayumi fell into a daze when she saw Yuuji's figure.
Despite having not seen him for just a couple of days, she was easily mesmerized by his appearance and smile as if it was their first time meeting all over again.
"Welcome home, Yuuji~!"
"Hey, glad you came home before it started raining."
"I'm home. Yeah, I'm super glad it didn't start raining sooner or I would've definitely gotten wet."
Yuuji removed his shoes, placed them on the cupboard, and put on his indoor slippers before raising his head to meet Mayumi's gaze with a soft, loving smile.
His eyes stayed on hers as she continued to stare at him in a daze before he began inspecting Mayumi's current wardrobe.
"Welcome, Mayumi. You look extremely adorable in that pajamas."
Hearing his praise, Mayumi snapped out of her daze and immediately began fidgeting as her face blushed crimson red.
"T-Thank you… W-Welcome home, Y-Yuuji-kun."
"Mm… I'm home."
With one smooth movement, Yuuji approached her and pulled her into a warm embrace, holding the back of her head with one hand softly as he kissed her on the top of her head.
And in response to the sudden show of affection, Mayumi was frozen stiff. Her cheeks turned into ripe tomatoes as she felt Yuuji's warmth, smell, and love enveloping her entire being.
"Fufu~ Yuuji, Mayumi-senpai is freezing now, so you should probably let her go before she started blue screening~"
Realizing his mistake for suddenly hugging her for the first time in their relationship, Yuuji separated himself from her, letting him see how red Mayumi's cheeks were.
He just lost himself at the moment right then… She looked extremely adorable wearing such oversized pajamas, especially those sleeves that extended past her wrist and pants being too long for her.
He had also become too used to being intimate with his girlfriends, so he forgot at that moment how innocent and new Mayumi was to romantic relationships.
"Ah, I'm sorry for suddenly hugging you, Mayumi…"
"N-N-No! I-I-It's fine! I-I was just shocked, that's all!"
"Hehe~ How does it feel, Mayumi-senpai~? It's addicting, right~? To be enveloped so completely by his warmth, his touch, and his love~ It makes your brain melt, your body hot, and your heart full~"
The sensation of his hug resurfaced in her mind once again as Aika described the heavenly sensation she just felt. But seeing Yuuji's smiling countenance before her, Mayumi snapped out of her daze and quickly berated Aika for making her show such an embarrassing side of her.
"U-Uhn… Ah- A-Aika!"
"Now now, you should stop teasing Mayumi-senpai. I can already see steam rising up her head."
"Yes~"
"G-Geez…"
Normally, Erika would love to join Aika in teasing her. But seeing how flustered Mayumi was, she decided to help her new sister and changed the subject. Moreover, she was also curious about the "thing" Yuuji said he's doing with Tatsuya earlier this morning.
"So? How did it go? Is everything fine?"
"Mm. Everything is fine. Tatsuya and Miyuki have returned home safely as well."
They then went to the living room and sat on the couch together as Yuuji began recounting everything that happened with the relic and during his visit to the FLT lab.
And as she listened to his story, Mayumi's eyes slowly widened at the realization of Yuuji and Tatsuya's relationship with FLT and about the holy relic.
"Eh? S-So… T-Tatsuya-kun is Taurus Silver after all?"
"Yes… Though technically, he is Silver. The Taurus half refers to Director Ushiyama, an engineer in FLT who worked together with Tatsuya on his projects."
"I-I see…"
Yuuji smiled apologetically to her.
"I'm sorry for not telling you these things, Mayumi. But…"
She shook her head and smiled softly.
"No, it's fine. I'm sure you'll tell me when the time is right."
"Mm. I promise. Thank you."
"Mm…"
He pulled Mayumi into his embrace and pet her hair, causing her to blush red. But this time, instead of becoming flustered from his embrace, Mayumi quickly melted into his warmth as she began inhaling his fragrant, spring-like scent.
It was extremely comforting. Her body was actively yearning for him as it grew hotter and hotter. Her heart thumped loudly, and she could hear Yuuji's heartbeat thumping in a similar tempo, making her even happier.
But as she was enjoying his embrace, she heard a playful giggle coming from Aika.
"Fufufu~ Mayumi-senpai is sooooo adorable~ Did you see how quickly she melted into Yuuji's hug~?"
In a burst of embarrassment, Mayumi quickly pushed herself off from Yuuji's embrace in a fluster.
"A-Ah! I-I'm sorry for clinging on you! A-And Aika-san, please don't say such a thing!!!"
"Eeeeeeeh~? But it's true~ Right, Yuuji~?"
Yuuji giggled softly and reached his hand towards Aika's cheeks, caressing it ever so softly as she nuzzled into his hand.
"While it's true, you can't tease her too much, okay? Give her some time to get use to everything here."
"Okaaaaay~ I'm sorry, Mayumi-chan~!"
"U-uuuuuuhhh…"
Yuuji smiled helplessly as Aika continued to tease her adorable senpai, who was glaring adorably at her with redly blushing cheeks.
She was really having a lot of fun teasing Mayumi, despite her just becoming his girlfriend. But Yuuji understood her sentiment.
After all, although she was older than them, her reactions and expressions towards being teased always tickled his urge to tease her because they were just too adorable.
But this time, he held himself back. He wanted her to get used to being with him and the girls first so she could feel more comfortable here.
"A-Anyway! What about the Relic? I've heard of "Holy Relics" and the OO Parts before, but… I never expected you and Tatsuya-kun to be in possession of one."
"It fell into Tatsuya's hands… coincidentally. But they're in safe hands now, and we're currently improving the security system even further in FLT so we will be ready to defend against, and even counter attack, their next attack."
"I see… That's good. If you need help, please don't hesitate to tell me. I will do my best to help without letting this information leak to my family."
"Thank you, Mayumi."
"You're very welcome, Yuuji-kun."
Just then, the pitter patter sound of rainfall began resounding throughout the living room, grabbing all of their attention.
Yuuji looked at the rain that slowly began to become harder and harder through the large sliding window that divided their living room with the outdoor swimming pool thoughtfully before turning his attention back at Mayumi.
"Hm… Mayumi, would you like to stay for the night?"
"Oh~! That's a great idea, Yuuji~!"
"Eh?!"
Mayumi hesitated. She didn't want to overstay her welcome. But after seeing how hard it was raining, she began to have second thoughts…
"W-Will that be okay…?"
"Of course~! We'd love to have you here~! Right~?"
"Mm. It's raining cats and dogs, senpai. So I think it'd be better for you to stay for the night. We have plenty of rooms, and the beds are big enough for the three of us to sleep together."
Mayumi looked at the two girls hesitatingly, and shyly glanced at Yuuji. If she stayed, then this would be the first time she would be staying with a man, not to mention his lover. Of course she would be extremely nervous about this.
Seeing her hesitation, Yuuji smiled and grabbed her hands softly.
"Just stay for the night, okay? We can use this chance to talk and get closer to each other. Don't worry about anything."
"...Okay. T-Then, please take care of me."
"Yay~! Let's talk a lot, Mayumi-senpai~ I still haven't finished asking you about your romantic episodes with Yuuji~!"
"E-Eh? W-We're still continuing that?! B-But Y-Yuuji-kun is here~!"
"Then, I'll go make dinner. You girls can go ahead and relax, okay?"
"Eh?! Y-Yuuji-kun?!"
"That's a great idea~!!! Now there's no running away again, senpai~!"
"G-Geez!!! You're all teasing me too much!!!"
