[CH.43] Beautiful Twin Sisters' Day Off Date (Part 3)
The two-hour movie comes to an end, and the theater lights brighten. I had planned to make my escape while it was dark, but I'm still trapped with both of them clinging to me.
I say, "Um, Akane-san, Aoi-san, it's about time to let go now."
"Just a little longer, please."
"The last part was so scary... my legs feel like jelly."
"Yes..."
People are staring at us! They're probably thinking, "Wow, they're quite lively," or something like that. Please, just cut me some slack!
---
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry."
They bow their heads to me as we exit the theater room. They must have realized they went too far with their actions. At least if we had been closer and able to touch each other more casually, we could have enjoyed the movie differently. But there was no place for my hands, and I couldn't focus on the film. It was quite a predicament.
Akane-san and Aoi-san appear apologetic. I contemplate whether we should go to a hotel and recompense the situation with a romantic twist, just like those trendy adult ads these days. I'm well aware of their attractive bodies from our earlier embrace. However, I'm not delusional enough to think that anything like that could happen, so I respond with a wry smile.
"Um, Hayamura-san."
"As an apology, let us treat you to a meal."
They move closer, and I start to feel a bit suffocated. Honestly, I just want them to release me.
"If you're okay with me, I'd be happy to accompany you."
However, I can't do that. It's a man's destiny, a working adult's fate.
We head towards a café near Shin-Yokohama Station, about a 5-minute walk from the shopping complex where we were earlier. Akane-san and Aoi-san were considering various places to apologize, but it seemed to be taking too long, so I suggested an alternative. If it were just the two sisters, we might have ended up at a fast-food joint like McDonald's, but when you add someone of the opposite sex into the equation, choosing the right place becomes quite a dilemma.
I didn't want us to give the impression that we only know such places.
Adults are never straightforward, after all.
"It's got a nice atmosphere here."
"I've been in Hamayama for a while, but it's my first time here."
Both Akane-san and Aoi-san peer around the café with genuine interest.
This place isn't just an ordinary café, it's one of the few in Hamayama that caters to creative endeavors. They have private rooms and a layout suitable for writing novels or manga.
"I thought it might be suitable for the two of you, who work on creative projects."
"Nee-chan, there's so much material here I've never seen before."
"They offer lending services?"
"Hmm... Maybe I should use it too."
"Hey, Hayamura-san?"
"Oh, it's nothing."
This café was recommended to me by an acquaintance who used to live in Hamayama and worked as a writer or something like that. I heard they often use it for their work. If you just need to write, you can do it at home or at the café I visited with Kuhou-san the other day. However, I've heard that this place offers material that can be used for novel ideas, especially for fantasy writers, which makes it especially appealing.
We were guided to a private room with a table that could accommodate several people. They charged by the hour, similar to regular manga cafes, which made it easier to split the bill without any awkwardness.
We decided to order the daily lunch special for the three of us.
"Thank you for sharing such a nice place with us, Hayamura-san."
Aoi-san, who's in the middle of writing a massive 11 million-character work, seems especially suited for this type of environment, and her eyes were gleaming with excitement.
"I might start using it from tomorrow."
"Yeah, there were so many interesting books there... I'd like to read them at my own pace."
"I'm glad you like it."
As we chatted while waiting for our food, Akane-san leaned in across the table and suddenly asked, "By the way..."
"Huh?"
"Hanamura-kun, aren't you dating Mimasaka-san?"
"Which means you're dating Nishina-chan, right?"
"I'm not dating either of them!"
"Mimasaka-san is incredibly beautiful, smart, and does a meticulous job, you know."
"Speaking of which, Nishina-chan has such an adorable smile, and her... ahem, her chest is quite big, isn't it? Have you ever touched it?"
"Cough!"
"They're just colleagues, after all. They're both very attractive, and as a man, I can appreciate that."
"Hmm, then is Kuhou-san your favorite? She's quite beautiful too."
"Nee-chan, you've met Kuhou-san, right? I've only seen her on the phone and at 'that place.'"
"Well... Kuhou-san... yes, she is beautiful. Where did you meet her, Akane-san?"
"Last year, I happened to deliver some documents to Forest Corp's office. Kuhou-san greeted me there, and it was the first time I saw such a beautiful woman with long, black hair."
"I want to see her too! Kuhou-san has such a lovely voice, right? She's been a topic of conversation at our office too. 'The lady from Forest Corp's office has such a beautiful voice,' they say."
"Haha, I'll make sure to pass that compliment on to Kuhou-san. I'm sure she'll be pleased to hear it."
"Now, as for this," Aoi-san asked with a glint in her eye, "Who do you think is the best among Mimasaka-san, Nishina-chan, and Kuhou-san?"
"What's with this ultimate choice..."
