6 Main Heroines Who Absolutely Want to Monopolize Me - Volume 1 Chapter 7.3

Lovey-Dovey or Die 3

“Well then, Shinichi-kun, I’ll go change.”

She went into her room, which looked like a small hut, by the side of the pool.

The rustling of the trees could be heard as the sound of shifting clothes.

After changing in the bathroom in an instant, I sat on a deck chair, trying to read a book I brought from the Roppongi Sky Tower Library.

However, nothing registered in my mind. Nevertheless, if I lifted my face and saw the private pool in front of me, I would likely imagine something inappropriate. I also cant ever looking at the glass-enclosed bedroom hut standing on the left, where she was currently changing.

Because she was changing behind those curtains.

Trying to calm my right eye’s optic nerve, which seemed to be on edge, I made an effort to read the words written in the book, and at that moment.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Shinichi-kun.”

A clear and pure voice reached my ears, and I raised my face. And, I was left speechless.

…Its a goddess

Osaki is wearing a black bikini with lace ribbon on the chest.

Osaki fidgeting with embrassed manners..

“You told me to wear this?”

“I-I didn’t mean it like that…”

Trying to get my voice out somehow, I gradually regained my composure.

“It’s not like the purpose was to make you wear a swimsuit.”

“Then what was the purpose?”

“To… undress you?”

“W-what do you mean… you pervert.”

Well, that’s true, but that’s not the point. I just wanted to have a genuine conversation with Osaki without the eavesdropping devices.

For that, it was necessary for her to wear either a swimsuit or be naked, and if given the choice, she would probably choose a swimsuit. It’s better than choosing to be naked.

“So, How do i look?”

Osaki, once again, inquired while tying the strings.

“Uh, well… I think it looks great on you.”

“…Is that so?”

Blushing despite her character, she turned her face away.

“So, shall we go into the pool, Hirakawa-kun?”

In the pool that was arranged for us, we just leaned against each other in silence.

The private pool is about a quarter the size of a school pool.

Although it’s too wide for just the two of us to spend time in, but neither Osaki nor I know how to do the kind of “kyaa-kyaa-ufu-ufu” (splash water on each other) that we do when we’re in love, so if we have to act lovey-dovey, this is the only way we can come up with.

…No, I shouldn’t be making excuses like this.

I haven’t forgotten the reason why I changed into a swimsuit.

But somehow, bringing up that topic seemed scary or embarrassing.

Because the content is more awkward than a breakup story, it’s a topic about ‘checking the answers to the breakup with my ex.’

“Uh… Hirakawa-kun.”

…Even so, that time will come.

“Can I explain about that day?”

“…Yeah.”

Osaki begins to talk.

“To begin with, the reason I approached you first was because my father told me to. It was sort of a political maneuver love affair.”

“I figured as much…”

I had guessed from the night talk in Nasu. Even so, a sigh escapes me.

“Then, what about joining the festival committee?”

“Yes. The fact that our schools decided to have a joint school festival was also a scheme by my father.”

“As expected of Mr. Osaki Holdings. He has incredible influence…”

“Not as much as your father.”

Osaki smiled with a troubled expression. When she makes this expression, I feel like she’s telling the truth.

“So, the confession on that day was also a lie?”

When I started dating Osaki, she was the one who confessed to me.

“You would think so. After all, your first impression was the worst…”

“It’s not my fault, is it?”

“Do you remember what you said first?”

“Ah… I-I don’t remember…?”

I try to feign ignorance, but since I remember, I unintentionally use the same words as back then.

Although I try to play dumb, she gracefully accepts my execuses and says,

“You said, ‘I’m determined to only do things that I think about and agree with.'”

She uttered every word without a mistake.

“I apologize for being presumptuous…”

Well, it’s not like my principle has changed even now…

“…It’s half and half, I suppose.”

“Half and half?”

“The answer from earlier. It’s true that I confessed for the sake of a political love affair. But…”

Osaki once again showed a troubled smile.

“…The fact that I liked you is also true.”

“So, why did you suddenly disappear?”

I tried to remain as calm as possible, but a hint of sharpness crept into my voice.

“Your father didn’t intend to let you inherit the Hirakawa name. He told my father.”

“My father…”

“Yes. It seems he told my father.”

While it was news to me, it’s probably true. When I told my father, “I’m leaving home when I enter high school,” the timing aligns.

“I am just a pawn of the Osaki family. If you don’t become the president, when another engagement proposal comes up, our relationship would become an obstacle.”

“I see…”

“Of course, I resisted. But if I did, my father hinted that he would harm you. I was most afraid that you would be hurt because of me.”

“So, that’s why you suddenly became unreachable one day…”

“Yes. I took the high school entrance exam and attended a different high school than before. I cut off all ties with you… or rather, was cut off. About two years passed. One day, I received a call from an unknown number on my smartphone. It was Jujoo-san, and the content was an invitation to a love study abroad.”

So, Jujoo-san directly invited Osaki…

“I immediately told my father about it. I said, ‘There shouldn’t be any problem if he becomes the president of the Hirakawa Group.’ Even then, my father, who doubted my feelings, approved with conditions. The condition was to ‘record and send all of my statements.'”

“So, that’s what happened…”

If I had known that at the time, I wonder if things would have been somewhat different. Well, even if I had known, what could I have done? Surely, if I had heard it at that time, I would have just been dazzled, thinking, ‘So that’s how it is…’
