Chapter 55: A Turning Point.

I was woken up by Shiori.

 

She held me tightly, but I couldn’t tell if she was the Wild Nakada-san or the Angel of Destruction.

 

Did it matter to me?

 

“Kouta, were you able to make her happy?”

 

Nakada-san asked me, not if I was happy, but if I brought Ruru happiness.

 

“I believe so.”

 

“Then that’s good.”

 

I held her close and caressed her head gently.

 

“All that remains now is Kanae.  But I won’t force that on you.  Let that happen when it finally does, okay?”

 

I’m thankful for that.  I’m still not prepared to cross that line yet.

 

“Also, there is something Kouta needs to know.  I wasn’t alone for those three days.  I was being cared for.  It was very hard on me.  But because Kouta allowed me to be selfish, I feel I’ve regained a great deal of myself.  I’m glad it was with you.  I really am so glad…”

 

Shi-chan then wept silently into my chest.

 

She wasn’t alone?

 

Was it her mama then?

 

…

 

I put an arm around her and continued stroking her hair.

 

If it’s something I really need to know, I’ll ask.  I will ask her along with those other dark questions I don’t want to know.

 

“Tonight, will Kouta make love to me again?”

 

I will!  Gladly!

 

“Anytime.”

 

“Un!” she said cheerfully “Then I suppose it is about time.”

 

She got up off of me, and went to Kana-chan to begin her good morning call which had been desperately missed for days.

 

“Rise and shine my sweet Hime.”

 

Her kisses fell like rain upon Kanae.  Kanae quickly snapped open her eyes, and pulled Nakada-san in to a deathly embrace.

 

“You’re back!”  Kana-chan had tears falling already “You’re… back…. uwwwaaaah~”

 

“Yosh, yosh,  yes my Hime, I have returned to our garden.”

 

Kana-chan’s crying woke up Ruru.

 

So I stepped in.

 

Climbing atop her, I let our precious lily know how deeply she too was loved.  

 

When Nakada-san was able to calm Kana-chan down, she gave an emotional hug to Ruru.

 

“Thank you so much for caring for them.”

 

Ruru had no need to reply.  She only needed to accept Shi-chan’s feelings.

 

Though Shi-chan was dressed, she helped dress Kanae, and I helped dress Ruru.

 

Excited her lover had returned, Kana-chan quickly set about making a luxurious breakfast.

 

Rice with spicy chicken cutlets, a flavorful miso with extra dashi, and a small tossed salad.

 

Breakfast was great, and after so many snaps for the insta, it seemed the day was returning to the harmonious ones I had come to enjoy so much.

 

“Kouta, school will begin in a week.  How would you like to proceed?”

 

Proceed?

 

“Would you like to walk with me in the mornings, or would you like me to come to your classroom for lunchtime?”

 

Why wouldn’t I want all those things?

 

“Yes.  Why would you even bother asking that?”

 

“Kouta knows, right?  All the rumors in school?  They aren’t all false.  But I don’t want Kouta to have a hard time, if he wants to avoid those troublesome things, which will become difficult when people find out we are dating.”

 

“I don’t care.  I’m not ashamed to have people find out we are together.  I will deal with whatever comes, since I love you.”

 

Shi-chan puts on a smile.  

 

Once again, I can’t determine which one of them it is?  Did perhaps my doing what I did in that place restore a part of her real self?

 

“I love you too, Kouta.”

 

With breakfast ended, and Saturday here, it was another lazy day after Ruru and I did the dishes.

 

Nakada-san was affectionate in a different kind of way.

 

She had brought her laptop out and sat with Ruru in the living room, and was writing alongside her, showing bits of it to Ruru who was giving her tips and advice.

 

Kana-chan brought cold beers, and I was sitting in the living room playing a new game I had bought on the Funstation4.  Ruru was enjoying watching me play, and we let time pass in tranquility.

 

In the late afternoon, the game went off and variety shows came on, and the three girls were very talkative.

 

Kana-chan talked about taking Nakada-san and Ruru to her office to do some more photos during the upcoming week, and Ruru had to decline Monday alone.

 

That was our work date.

 

The day came and went, Kana-chan was in exceptionally high spirits.

 

At night time, it was my turn with Shiori.

 

However she wanted to share me with the others.  She didn’t act selfish at all.

 

The order returned to normal.

 

Shi-chan on my right, Ruru on my left, Kana-chan with Shi-chan…

 

The garden was whole again.

 

We slept, we woke up, and we had our good morning call.

 

Sunday began peaceful, until there was a knock on the door around noon.

 

I answered it and it was Nakada-san…

 

Shiho, that is.

 

She looked me square in the face.

 

And then I was slapped so hard, I had to brace myself against the doorframe or fall down.

“How dare you!”  she said to me, before throwing a punch at my stomach.

 

I dropped to my knees, and she spit on me.

 

Then she turned and walked away.

 

The girls came to help me up, but Shi-chan didn’t pursue it.

 

“Forgive me, Kouta.” Shi-chan pleaded.

 

I shook my head.

 

I don’t know what it was about, but I can accept at least that amount for what I did.  What I didn’t have the courage to not do on my birthday.

 

I will accept her anger.

 

It may be a long time before we can talk again.

 

I was taken in to the bedroom to lay down.

 

Shi-chan was there with me.

 

“Kouta.  Shall we get married?”

 

Married?  

 

To Shi-chan?

 

She pulled out a sheet of paper.

 

It was the marriage form similar to what Hiromi pulled out and showed to Kii-chan that Sunday past.

 

“I really have broken my ties with Mama this time.  I have only Kouta.  Will you protect me for the rest of my life?”

 

I reached for it and stared at it for a while.

 

Her side was filled out.

 

Her stamp was adhered to.

 

I only had to make the decision on my own end.

 

“Going to school as a married couple?” I ask tentatively.

 

“I already am entirely yours, Kouta.  Why not seal the deal?”

 

Indeed so.

 

After a while I was able to get up properly, and I brought the form out to the table.

 

Ruru’s eyes widened at it.

 

Kanae’s eyes widened at it.

 

…

 

“Is there an objection to it?” she asks.

 

“No.”

 

“Yes.”

 

…

 

There was an objection.  It was from Ruru.

 

“It’s awfully soon, and even though I am okay with being the mistress, I would still like a chance to try to be his number one.”

 

Shi-chan looked at her, appraising the fierce look Ruru had given her in objection.

 

“Then what shall we do?” Nakada-san asked.

 

“One year.”

 

“One year?”

 

“On his birthday next year.  Let us have him decide instead.  I won’t object anymore at that point.” Ruru stated competitively.

 

…

 

“One year?” Shi-chan looked up in introspection. “Then, please do your best, so that Kouta is left without any regrets in his heart who he will choose.  If it is you, I will be the mistress instead.  I will never let him go, Ruru-chi.”

 

The both came to that agreement.

 

So there was another form received from the office at a later time.  This time Ruru’s half was filled out.  Both of them were put on the inside of the bedroom door for us to see.

 

Aside from the upcoming troubles I would have at school, there was also the battle for affection at home.

 

These were only the beginning of the days I would come to know as the Romancing of Nakada-san.

 

(Volume 1, Final Secret 50:  All the girls had conspired to start bringing out what bit of hidden sexiness Kouta had, and over the next year, there was no end to the troubles he would have because of it.) 

 

...

 

...

 

(Sometime later, when Kouta finally worked up the courage to ask Nakada-san.)

“Naa, Shi-chan… if I asked you now… how many there were?” I steeled myself after asking.

 

“I can’t actually answer that Kouta. Since i don’t know how many there were either.”

 

“Was it really that many?”

 

“It was. After the rape, I was in a bad place for so long... even now I still am somewhat...” she trailed off.

 

My heart sunk into my chest.

 

“Kouta.  I can’t lie to you… even while we were together… I….”

 

No!!! DON'T SAY IT!!

 

 

...but she said it anyway.

...what I didn't really want to hear.

...I had heard it all from her mouth.

...and then I threw up.

 

I looked at the filled marriage form which hung on the inner door to the bedroom, and then put on my school uniform after cleaning up.

 

School would begin soon.

 

...so we left together, our hands empty, and by our sides the entire way there...
