Himegi-san a Bride from the Future Begs Me to Confess My Love to Her Again - Volume 1 Chapter 4.2

Birthday Party 2

“Oh, a grand piano is being brought in.”

“That’s the prize for bingo.”

On the table set up on the stage, there were numerous presents piled up, and Harune-chan and I ascended the stage.

On the stage, there were mascots that one might see at amusement parks, holding balloons.

What’s this? This subtly un-cute white frog mascot…

“Look, this is Hakugaeru-kun, who came here just for today!”

It seems that this frog mascot was hired for today’s event. The mascot embraced Harune-chan.

“Wow, Hakugaeru-kun, you’re so ticklish!”

Apparently, this white frog is named Hakugaeru-kun.

However, it’s quite cheeky for a mascot to hug my cute sister-in-law.

I was about to separate them when I heard Kanako’s loud voice from behind.

“Wow, it’s a mini Himegi-san!”

“Even though she’s small, I think she has longer limbs than Kanako——Ouch!”

Then Kanako gave me a low kick.

“H-hey! Ouji-kun, what’s with this outfit?”

Himegi-san protested to me while hiding behind Kanako.

Her face turned as red as an apple, and she fidgeted.

It seems she’s very embarrassed.

She had transformed from a princess in a dress into a sexy bunny girl.

Shiny white high heels, white stockings revealing her skin color, and a white leotard that accentuated her ample cleavage—frankly, it’s quite a provocative outfit.

Upon seeing her now, even an enlightened monk might become filled with worldly desires, wouldn’t they?

Well, that’s how incredibly enchanting she looks at this moment.

Personally, I’d love to observe her struggling with this embarrassment 24/7, but unfortunately, I have a mission to fulfill right now.

Yes, my task at the moment is to convince her not to take off the bunny girl costume.

“I handed you both black and white options… I see, you chose white.”

“I didn’t choose anything! I never agreed to become a bunny girl!”

“My fault I didn’t explain anything either, but more importantly, it suits you very well.”

“Do I really need to wear this…?”

“Of course you do. Throughout history and across cultures, magicians’ assistants have always been bunny girls. That’s why Himegi-san, you’ll be a bunny too. There are no exceptions.”

I stated this to her without any remorse.

“Who decided on such a ridiculous rule?”

“By the way, can I take a picture?”

“Enough, I’m gonna go change!”

Saying that, Himegi-san tried to return to the mansion.

I circled around in front of her and said,

“Harune-chan, you want your big sister to wear this outfit, right?”

“Yeah! I want Touka-nee to wear this outfit!”

“That’s what she said. Himegi-san, just accept it!”

“I-I don’t have the right to say no!?”

“It’s today’s protagonist’s command. Please give up and enjoy the event today in that outfit.”

Harune-chan supported me as promised.

Even the great Himegi-san had to give in when the star of the day asked her to do so.

“I’ll remember this. I’ll dress you up as a woman this time, Ouji-kun…”

I heard some disturbing words, but I’ll let it slide this time.

“Good grief…by the way, Harune, say hello to Chikada-san.”

“Hello!”

Harune-chan, with her short hair swaying, bowed to Kanako.

Being Himegi-san’s sister, she was a polite girl.

Then, Harune-chan approached me and jumped into my chest.

“Since I kept my promise, Onī-san, you’re Harune’s retainer today!”

And with an affectionate smile, Harune-chan looked up at me.

A retainer, huh?

I see, I was born into this world just to hear this word.

“What are you grinning at? It’s creepy.”

For some reason, Kanako and Himegi-san were looking at me with disdain.

“Shut up.”

“Anyway, Harune-chan, you look cute in that dress.”

“Thank you. Onē-san looks good in her dress too!”

Kanako had also transformed from her casual attire into a calm blue dress.

Was that the dress Himegi-san wore when she was in elementary school?

…I won’t say anything since she seems so happy about it, but the fact that it fits perfectly is rather sad.

“Kanako, instead of being all cheerful, why don’t you give her the present?”

I nudged her side, urging her to give the birthday gift we had prepared.

“Oh, this is the birthday present we chose together, this idiot and me!”

With a flustered expression, Kanako took the present from the paper bag she had in her hand.

“I’m not sure if you’ll like it…”

With a mixture of hope and anxiety on her face, Kanako handed the wrapped gift to Harune-chan.

“Wow, thank you!”

Harune-chan is thrilled with our gift. On the other hand, Kanako had a hesitant expression.

It seems she lacks confidence in the chosen gift.

“Is it okay if I look inside?”

“Hey, don’t open your present until after the party.”

“Yes, just once! I want to see it now!”

“No problem, why not? Besides, I want to see Harune-chan’s reaction.”

“Onī-san, thank you!”

“Ah, hold on——”

Ignoring her older sister’s warning, Harune-chan carefully unwrapped the present so as not to tear the packaging.

“Wow! This is the one Haru wanted!”

With a delighted expression, Harune-chan looked at the present.

Inside was a card game box set.

It might be a somewhat safe choice, but considering that Harune-chan enjoys card games, I thought it would make her happy.

“Thank you!”

“No problem, as long as you like it.”

“Thank you both of you.”

Himegi-san also bowed her head to us.

She’s a really good big sister.

As I was thinking about that, a deafening noise echoed from the sky.

“W-what’s that?”

“It’s a helicopter!”

Harune-chan pointed to the blue sky. Then we all looked up at the sky in unison.

A helicopter was flying high above…why is there a helicopter flying in the sky?

“Wait, there’s a person in the helicopter!”

Kanako pointed at the helicopter with trembling fingers and shouted loudly.

As Kanako said, a silhouette that resembled a person was visible from the helicopter’s door.

“Huh? Did he just… jump out of it?”

Incredibly, someone jumped out of the helicopter’s door.

Huh? What? Is this some kind of new suicidal act?

Everyone in the garden stared at the fool who was free-falling.

“Hey-hey, is it just my imagination, or did that person… is going to land here?”

“——It’s not your imagination! He’s landing in this garden! Everyone, run!”

Starting with my words, all the people in the garden scattered like a bunch of frightened spiders seeking safety.

Of course, we, who were on the stage, also made a hasty escape.

I carried the stunned Harune-chan while Himegi-san held onto the frightened Kanako’s hand, and we retreated to what seemed like a safe place.
