Artist's commentary
I watched blankly as Seiga-san left.
"What in the world happened to that pseudo mountain hermit?"
Youmu-san said, shocked.
Well then, I wonder what was going on there.
Thanks to Seiga-san I think I've found my resolve.
She was quite meddlesome, but she was maybe thinking about us in her own way...
Well, it might be that she had fun watching from the sidelines.
"...-dono."
Futo-chan looked my way.
"What is it, Futo-chan?" I asked.
"...From now on and forevermore... I'll be in your care...."
She bowed curtly and strengthened her grip on my arm.
"Ah, Futo-chan, that's unfair. I will also... no, I will be in your care from now on ...-san. ... It will be different from now on. You understand, right? How I feel..."
Youmu-san said while clenching my arm even more tightly.
"Ah Youmu-dono, that's not fair. ...-dono. I also like ...-dono! That's why! That's why!!""
Futo-chan said while tightening her grip even further.
Her sudden confession caused me to blush. It seems Futo-chan also blushed after noticing how forceful she was being.
"I... I also.... like ...-san..."
Youmu-san said as if challenging Futo-san.
Those two say they like me. I am extremely happy for them. I want to spend time with both of them, and so I decided to be a two-timer. That's what I've decided just now.
By two-timing, I'll surely disappoint both of them. That's just what happens when you two-time.
But, I think I'll use every trick in the book to be with both of them for as long as possible. That's my prerogative.
While hugging both of them, I told them that I love them.
The two smiled at first but immediately puffed out their cheeks.
"...Grr. Futo and I?"
"...Well, you're a two-timer to the end. Right?"
the two said with scornful eyes.
I apologized to both of them and patted their heads.
From now on, we'll all have it rough, won't we? We might just be postponing this?
That's sort of how I felt.
But I think if I postpone my choice for as long as possible, I'll be able to spend a long time with both of them.
To be continued.
