“Umm. Why did Kiriha allow me to go out with Maria as well?”
“Because, Honey, you like Maria, don’t you? And I like Maria too.”
Kiriha was right, I was attracted to Maria.
When Maria confessed her feelings to me, I wanted to respond to her feelings, to make her happy.
But the most important thing to me was Kiriha, so I couldn’t do that.
If Kiriha had not forgiven me for my two-timing with Maria, I would have felt guilty for hurting Maria, who had such feelings for me.
It was because of Kiriha’s unfathomable generosity that I was able to live peacefully and safely.
But that didn’t mean I could be happy without giving it up.
“And then, I guess it’s because I know how Maria feels.”
“How Maria feels?”
Nodding, Kiriha’s voice was sweetly hushed.
“Yeah, you know, Honey, I love you a lot.”
“….”
—When she says that in this circumstance, I feel a little overwhelmed.
On the other hand, Kiriha’s tone was calm and nostalgic for memories.
“I was bullied all my life because of my bee ability and had no expectations for my life. However, Honey saved me from that and you are everything to me. I can’t imagine my life without Honey.”
No man could keep his cool after being told so straightforwardly by the girl he loved that she loved him so much.
It was a scene that made me wonder if it was a dream or an illusion.
“But it’s the same for Maria, she’s just another me. Think about it, she was unhappy all her life, she was in pain, and she wanted to disappear, but the person she loved enough to devote her whole life to was already in a relationship, and she never had a chance to be loved from the beginning.”
Kiriha’s words gradually lost their power, and in the end, they sounded like a whimper.
“So I couldn’t give up on Maria. Rather, I wanted to help Maria by sharing Honey.”
“Kiriha…”
While I was moved by her compassion, the anxiety I hold grew a little.
“Thank you, Kiriha, but I’m still worried. I’m worried that I might hurt Kiriha someday, and that if I take care of other girls besides Kiriha, I might not be able to notice when Kiriha is in pain.”
As if trying to escape, my gaze gradually dropped to face the pitiful face reflected in the water.
I should have stopped, but the anxiety that came out of my mouth did not stop and continued to overflow.
“If both Kiriha and Maria were in trouble at the same time, would I be able to choose Kiriha without hesitation?”
“Eii.”
I looked up at the small voice and saw that Kiriha had just delivered a karate chop to my head.
With a warm smile on her face, she gave me a few words of comfort.
“I love that about Honey. It’s not the cheap love that you give to everyone. Even when you were two-timing with Maria, you put me first and then loved the other girls. I guess that’s why the seven of us are all gathered around you.”
“Huh?”
I was about to ask her what she meant, but Kiriha fell forward as if to take the initiative.
“And you know what, I believe it. I believe that no matter what time, no matter how much it takes, no matter what happens, and no matter if you end up dating other girls besides Maria, Honey will always love me the best. Because.”
With the wattage on her face rising steadily, Kiriha folded her arms under her breasts and pulled up her even more voluptuous breasts.
“Honey is a boobs lover♪”
“■■■■■■■!?”
I reflexively held my nose. That was how much pain ran down the back of my nose.
Huge!
KIRIHA’s boobs were really big.
Some boys said they were too big and saggy, vulgar, or unbalanced, or that they were more beautiful than big breasts.
However, Kiriha’s ample breasts didn’t sag, didn’t lose their balance, and were so beautiful that they even had a sense of dignity, and an attraction that was proportional to their size.
Just as gravity was proportional to the size of a planet, Kiriha’s breasts also had a gravitational pull that was proportional to their size.
“….I’m not one of those civilized people who judge a girl by her breasts! Don’t put me in the company of those barbarians!”
“Why don’t you say that after your nosebleeds stop?”
“Wha!?”
But there wasn’t a drop of blood on my hand as I pulled it away from my nose. I was fooled.
Kiriha laughed in a cute voice, like rolling a colossal bell.
I was so frustrated that I mouthed a sigh of defeat with my lips pouting.
“K-Kiriha, you don’t want me to go after your breasts, do you?”
“If it’s just about breasts, yes. But Honey is different, isn’t it? It’s not that you like big boobs, it’s that you like girls with big boobs. Besides, these boobs are part of me, so if you like my boobs, that means you like me, right?”
“What’s the logic behind that?”
“Because it’s not just one thing that makes up a person. There is more than one factor that makes up a person. Personality, appearance, tastes, and a myriad of other factors all combine to make up a person. I would be happy if you love my personality, but I want you to love other elements as well.”
“But you see, looks change over time, but personality lasts a lifetime.”
“They do change. Yes, personality changes, too. It’s easy for that to happen.”
“Uue?”
A funny sound escaped me, and Kiriha giggled.
“One success, one setback can easily change a person. In fact, they change more quickly than their outward appearance. No one stays the same. Everyone changes over the course of a long life. But no matter what happens, true love is the one thing that never changes. I love Honey even if he becomes an old man, even if he gets hurt by setbacks and failures, and even if he does terrible things to me. No, rather, I love you, so when Honey gets hurt, I will heal you and restore you to your original character.”
“Kiriha…”
I thought I saw a goddess, not an exaggeration, in her compassionate smile and voice.
I couldn’t betray her.
I couldn’t help but love her.
If I was everything to Kiriha, then Kiriha was everything to me.
—I’m happy.
Wanting to make this happiness eternal, I naturally hugged Kiriha.
I kissed her cherry-red lips.
When I sweetly bit her hot tongue, she, too, gently caressed my tongue.
I was so happy about that that I wanted to continue forever.
Without closing our eyes, we sought each other deeply, seeing each other in each other’s eyes.
After a long kiss, we finally pulled our mouths apart.
I was completely breathless with excitement.
Kiriha, too, was breathing unevenly.
“Kiriha, I feel the same way, and I’ll always love you, even when you’re a grandma, Kiriha.”
“Un.”
As we smiled at each other, I felt like I could communicate with her and it felt fulfilling.
I was sure that Kiriha and I would have a wonderful silver anniversary.
“Well, my lifespan is as long as anyone else’s, but I don’t age.”
“………Hm?”
“Don’t you know? Queen bees don’t age due to the benefits of anti-aging royal jelly? In fact, when I asked Maria to do a Thoughtography of me at 100 years old, I didn’t look much different than I do now. My face was a little older, and my hips and boobs were bigger, but.”
“Umm, that means…”
Rattling and shaking, Kiriha bewitchingly lifted her breasts in front of me as I suppressed the evil thoughts that welled up in my lower body.
“100 years of quality assurance♪”
“■■…!?”
Pain ran down the back of my nose and a few drops of nosebleeds dripped into the hot water.
“I-I’m out of here!”
“Annh, wait, Hone, y..!?”
“Huh?”
I forgot because Kiriha was in a swimsuit, but I was taking a bath, which meant I was completely naked.
It was obvious what would happen if I stood up in such a state.
Kiriha was trembling as she gazed at the thing that was raging in front of her.
Her face was red to the ears, her eyes round and wide, her mouth drawn into a straight line, and she was holding her breath.
Meanwhile, I, who had exposed my bare nature to Kiriha, let out an inarticulate exclamation with a bottomless sense of loss and despair.
—Ah, it’s over. My love. Goodbye Kiriha.
But Kiriha looked up at me and said something with a nervous look on her face.
“I-It’s awesome, Honey.”
I loved Kiriha so much that I was already overflowing with stuff.
