6 Main Heroines Who Absolutely Want to Monopolize Me - V1 Chapter 3.3

Idols, Actresses, and Influencers at the Amusement Park 3

“I mean, this might not be something to talk about too much. It wouldn’t be fair to give Yuu hints alone. Shouldn’t we discuss it when everyone is together?”

“Well then, there’s no point in deliberately choosing long attractions!”

“Are you doing it on purpose?”

She’s using the excuse of video filming to extract important information, isn’t she?

“Why not? This is also important for today’s competition. We need to plan our way around the park so that you can enjoy it the most. To do that, we need to know what you like and what you don’t, right?”

“Is that how it works? Aren’t the main attractions of the park usually predetermined?”

“What are you talking about?”

Yuu squints her eyes in exasperation at my words.

“Just because it’s the highlight of this park, should I recommend roller coasters to someone who dislikes thrill rides? Or recommend a Ferris wheel to someone with a fear of heights?”

And then, she points her index finger toward my chest.

“Shinichi is Shinichi, not just an average person. So we can’t decide based on a majority vote what you’ll like. I want to make sure you have the most fun.”

“Oh?”

Unexpectedly, she spouts such a logical and hospitable statement that it catches me off guard.

“What’s with that surprised look? Did you think of me as just any ordinary cute girl?”

“You admit you’re cute?”

“Of course! I live my life proudly, knowing that I’m cute and cool. Oh, but it’s obvious I’m not just talking about appearances, okay?”

“You mean about your inner self?”

“It’s about how I live my life!”

She proudly and confidently smiles, and it’s true that she is cute and cool.

“So, in order to make you have the best time, can you tell me what you like? Your favorite attractions, favorite foods, and such?”

I admire her determination.

“But still, telling Yuu alone is unfair. Not that I expect you to be pure and innocent, but if that’s your strategy, at least give me something in return… in other words, the benefit I’ll gain from it.”

“That’s true, it might be a bit bothersome…”

Mulling over it, I make a thoughtful expression.

When the usually expressive Yuu puts on a serious face, it reminds me that she’s indeed a beautiful girl.

But that thought doesn’t last long.

She shows a smug and confident expression, with a smirk and a determined look.

“If you tell me——”

After a long pause, she said. 

“——I’ll make you happy for the rest of your life!”

“No, not something abstract like that.”

When I immediately deny her proposition, Yuu is genuinely surprised.

“Huh? What’s wrong with that? I’m saying I’ll make you happy!”

“You’re being too vague. Tell me something specific, something that would make me feel it as a benefit.”

“Ugh… What would make Shin happy? Tell me what you find rewarding.”

“Isn’t that the same as your first question…?”

“Ugh! Stop making it complicated!”

Yuu holds her head in frustration and shouts.

“I just want something simpler! I want Shin to feel like he made the right choice coming with me! Isn’t that the whole point of this competition?”

“Well… you might be right.”

For at least the three of them, that seems to be the whole point of this competition.

“Okay, that’s enough. If another girl asks, you can also tell them!”

She pulls me closer by the collar.

“Anyway, for now, tell me what you like, Shin!”

***

“I managed to capture some good footage!  And I’ve figured out Shin’s preferences and how to handle them!”

“Rii was not entertained at all…”

As they grumble, A figure welcomes us at the exit of the attraction.

“Good job, all three of you.”

“K-Kanda, that outfit…!”

The active high school actress was wearing a high school jersey. 

“How is it? Do I look good in this?”

Though it’s just a jersey with an orange color and white stripes, it might make an ordinary person look plain, but for Leona Kanda, it suits her perfectly.

It looks divine on her.

“I thought Hirakawa might like it, so I changed in the locker room. What do you think?”

“W-Why would you think I like it?”

Dangerous. I can’t look directly at her.

If my gaze accidentally falls on that bulge she’s lifting up with the thick clothes, the gods will surely notice it in an instant.

As I avert my gaze, Kanda, with her hands clasped behind her back, leans in with a mischievous expression.

“Hirakawa is in an all-boys school, right? I did some studying on human observation and profiling for my acting. So I thought that the boys at an all-boys school would like girls’ gym uniforms the most. Am I wrong?”

“That… you might be right…”

When walking around town, you might see girls in their school uniforms. 

However, for boys attending an all-boys school, girls in gym uniforms are an almost mythical and revered existence that they rarely come across.

There might be some boys at co-ed schools who say things like ‘jerseys are plain,’ but they just don’t understand.

“And you like this type of sleeve. Don’t you?”

She showed me her palm, slightly hidden by the sleeve of her jersey.

“M-Moesode!” (萌え袖, Term for sleeves over her hands.)

“Ahaha, it’s somehow satisfying when the results are so visible. If I participate wearing this outfit, I might be one step ahead.”

“Thank you…”

“Ahaha, is it to the point of being grateful?”

With a triumphant smile, Kanda laughs beside us.

“Shin, you, that’s creepy!”

There were two people who were confused.

Gosh, you two really don’t understand.

“Anyway, it’s Rii’s turn next! Leona-chan, don’t do anything unnecessary!”

“Hahaha, sorry, sorry. I didn’t expect it to be this effective.”

“Come on, let’s go, you pervert who likes girls’ gym uniforms!”

Ria takes my arm and pouts as she walks away.

And so, with an excited Ria, I rode the roller coaster-style attraction, Big Lightning Mountain.

***

“Shinichi-kun, are you okay?”

“Yeah, sorry…”

Feeling a bit dizzy from the coaster, I sat on a bench where the air conditioning was working and took a short break.

“Hey, are stress hormones being released?”

“Probably…”

“Right, Rii also thought so…”

Ria frowned.

Of course, choosing the park’s highlight, the roller coaster, had backfired.

Adding negative points at a time that only comes around once for every three rides would surely make one anxious.

“I didn’t know I was bad with roller coasters. Sorry.”

“Shinichi-kun, it’s not your fault, but… What should we do? Well, maybe… ah, never mind…”

While saying that, Ria places her right hand on my left thigh.

Reacting to the unfamiliar sensation, my body involuntarily flinches, [Oh? ♡] and it seems she didn’t miss the expression on my face.

For some reason, she adds her other hand as well and starts massaging my thigh as if giving me a massage.

“H-Hey, Ria…”

“Shinichi-kun, does it feel good? ♡ Are the happy hormones gushing out?”

“N-No…”

Just when I was feeling flustered, Yuu and Kanda’s voices could be heard.

“Hey! I can see the coaster stopped!”

“Oh, were Hirakawa and Meguro having fun right now?”

It seemed that they had come back from the exit.

“Ah, it’s a pity that other people came so quickly, huh? ♡”

Ria quickly removes her hands from me, licking her lips.
