My stepmother's burden is my ex-girlfriend.

I felt a little smug and said with a smile.

"My boyfriend doesn't seem to be both stupid and incompetent after all."

Indeed, it's too cheap for the price of seeing nudity... but for students who aren't even working, this level of expenditure is quite painful.

When faced with something that cannot be compensated for, and one still wants to apologize, there is no other way but to make oneself feel the pain. This is indeed a common way of thinking for Mizuto.

"……is that so……"

Asuha-in-kun must have never met a boy who thinks like this before.

I said it would happen someday, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Although everything that happened today was absurd, if it could make her understand that boys like Mizuto also exist in this world—

"........."

Asahi-no-in stared intently at the nylon bag.

It was as if you could see through the black nylon and keep staring intently.

...Huh? Wait a minute?

In that case, wouldn't Mizuto become the only gentle boy in Asuhain's eyes?

That would be—

—Is this very bad?

"Um... Asuha-in-san?"

"Um?"

Asahi-no-Yuan looked at me with a blank expression.

"Mizuto-kun, although he can be serious at times, he also has a lot of inappropriate moments, you know? His room is so dirty, he can be a bit oblivious at times, and he's also a bit of a lecher..."

"Haa..."

Asuha-in tilted his head in surprise.

is that OK?

Following my boyfriend's friend, my boyfriend is going to become his love rival again. Hopefully, that won't happen!

◆ Irito Mizuto ◆

Hearing the sound of the front door closing in the distance, I quietly peeked out of the room.

After confirming that there was no movement in the next room, I went down the steps and saw Jie standing alone in the entrance hall.

"...Did you go back?"

"Ah, um. It's all over now."

The girl turned around and gave a bitter smile.

"I'm so sorry. It's all my fault for being careless."

"No, I wasn't careful enough myself."

"She seems to really enjoy the snacks... Shall I pay you half?"

"It's nothing. I acted on my own."

As she said this, Jie Nu revealed a disdainful look in her eyes.

"You don't... feel like you've made a profit, do you?"

"How could that be..."

Having experienced it firsthand, I know that with lucky perverts, there's no chance of even feeling lucky. The feeling of messing things up is the first thing you notice. If possible, I hope I never encounter one again.

Even so, Yui still looked somewhat dissatisfied, pouting slightly.

"I saw Asuhain-kun's first, not mine..."

...That's true.

He saw his girlfriend's naked body more often than her naked body...

"Because it's an act of God, it can't be counted."

"Okay. But... I'm a little bit unwilling to accept it."

The girl took one or two steps closer to me, grabbed the hem of my clothes, and her gaze darted left and right.

"Listen to me... okay? Mizuto-kun?"

"Hmm, um"

"I... well... although you might think I'm a rigid person..."

She stammered, while stealing glances at my face.

"...Actually, I'm available anytime..."

The woman spoke softly, almost as if in a murmur.

Anytime is fine.

What?

I'm not so clueless as to ask that question.

With an irrepressible urge welling up from deep within my body, I embraced Yui's body.

“Ahh!?”

Feeling that slenderness, that soft touch, I confirmed my own identity.

He clearly felt his love and desire for the woman.

So I whispered in his ear.

"(...I will consider the location)"

The girl also put her hand behind my back and replied softly.

"(...Okay. I'll be waiting for you.)"

In fact, both Jie and I probably longed for that day to come.

However, my father and Aunt Yu-ren will be back soon.

At home, we are family.

Therefore, we need to find a place where we can transform into lovers.

Being family members and lovers at the same time is essential for us.

—However, in order to suppress this heat, just a little bit.

"Uh-huh……"

As if biting down hard, my lips met those of the girl.

That's the end of the so-called temperance.

Irito Yume ◆ A Brand New Daily Life

"I'm going out—"

When I said this while putting on my shoes in the entryway, my mother opened the living room door, looking puzzled.

"Strange? Where are you going, Yui? Today is New Year's Day..."

"I made plans with my friends."

I'm amazed at how well I've become at lying. These past nine months of living together, filled with guilt, have turned my only redeeming quality—my earnest personality—into a liar.

But only now, this feeling of guilt actually makes me feel at ease.

"Oh, I see. Be careful on the road!"

"Um."

Nothing happened, and I went out of the house.

The January wind was biting cold. I pulled my scarf up to cover my mouth and stepped out of the house. Then I stopped after turning a corner and hid against the stone wall.

After waiting for a while, I heard footsteps approaching. Just as I moved away from the wall, a boy turned around the corner and waved at me.

"Hi."

"Um."

It was just a simple greeting.

Of course. Because we've already said "Good morning" and "Good afternoon" at home.

We are step-siblings—and also a couple.

I walked up to Irito Mizuto and we walked forward together.

"People are going out even during the Lunar New Year; they really have a lot of energy."

Mizuto used a scarf to slightly cover his grumpy face, making him look a bit more childish than usual.

"Isn't it just that you love staying home too much?"

"The world is just too dynamic."

"If everyone were as lazy as you, wouldn't humanity be doomed in no time?"

"To allow humans to relax and be lazy, hopefully AI or robots will come to support our civilization soon."

"You have no self-respect."

I stared blankly and breathed on my frozen, red hands.

Shuidou glanced at it and said:

"Why aren't you wearing gloves?"

"Hmm...I forgot."

I lied to him. Actually, I was just using a little trick.

I put my hands down and gently rubbed the back of my hand against my hand that was stuffed in my pocket.

This is a signal we learned before, a subtle, almost imperceptible one.

"........."

"........."

After a short pause, Shuidou pulled his hand out of his pocket without saying anything.

Then, she used her hands, which she had warmed in her bosom, to wrap my icy hands.

"……hehe."

Just a little smile is enough as a reaction.

I leaned a step closer to Mizuto's shoulder, feeling the warmth of our hands clasped together, as we walked toward the shrine.

January 1st—and so my year begins.

Irito Mizuto ◆ New Year's Shrine Visit Date

When she said, "Let's go to the New Year's shrine again, just the two of us," I hesitated for a long time about whether to go or not. But we'd been tossed around by fate more than once, so why not start afresh? Even if it was just to divine our future, seeing how things were going from the heavens wasn't a bad thing. Regardless of whether this so-called god was reliable or not, at least he shouldn't keep cursing us. Praying like this was out of human nature, not out of faith.

The destination wasn't the famous shrine that Yui and Minami had visited late at night last time; it was just a nearby, relatively unknown shrine. In Kyoto, where even a dog might bump into a shrine while walking, this was the only time things were convenient.

I thought there would be fewer people if I went in the afternoon, but I was completely wrong.

"OMG……"
