Chapter 45: The Heroine of the Dating Sim
"But, Muku really likes Big Brother, and we're not blood-related siblings, so can't Muku marry Big Brother?"
"Uh…"
Hearing her younger sister's words, Asahi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her forehead.
Ah, well, that did sound somewhat reasonable.
Satoru was an outstanding person—handsome, powerful, with a good personality, and he had saved Mukuro, kissed her, and even seen her body…
So it was only natural for Mukuro, who was just beginning to understand love, to develop feelings for him.
But…
"W-well, Satoru already has a girlfriend, and he and Ms. Nia are so close. Let's not trouble them, Mukuro~"
After all, he already had a girlfriend, and she was right there listening!
Asahi placed a hand on Mukuro's shoulder while offering an apologetic smile to Nia, silently conveying her sister's impropriety.
An outstanding young man like him was bound to be very popular—how could no one like him?
Not to mention Ms. Nia, even the other two girls in the same club as Satoru were exceptionally beautiful.
Clearly, their relationships were quite close, unlike her and her sister, who were practically strangers by comparison.
It would be better for the sisters not to overthink things.
…Yes, they were sisters, indeed.
Not to mention her simple-minded little sister, even she herself was beginning to feel slightly distracted and indulging in wild fantasies.
Of course, she remained quite composed—some thoughts simply shouldn't be entertained!
"But honestly, there's no need to be so serious~ If it's someone as well-behaved and innocent as little Muku, I'd be quite happy to accept her~"
At that moment, however, Nia walked over with a smile, reached out to pat Mukuro's head, and spoke in a lighthearted, cheerful tone.
"Um, Ms. Nia, please don't joke like that. This child might take it seriously."
Nia's teasing attitude naturally left Asahi feeling rather helpless.
Although Ms. Nia had said similar things before, for someone with more traditional values like Asahi, it was obvious she wouldn't believe the sincerity behind those words.
"What are you talking about? I'm not joking at all~ I mean every word of it~"
"Huh?"
But Nia smiled and looked towards Asahi, meeting her gaze directly.
Though her expression remained full of amusement, it was clear there was no joking intent in her eyes!
"Ms. Nia, are you really willing to let Muku be with Big Brother?"
Even Mukuro, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but ask in surprise upon hearing this. The previously dejected look in her eyes began to show excitement!
"Of course~ A pure soul like little Muku's can only be found in the 2D world~ It's as rare as a galgame heroine! Of course we should get along well~! The same goes for Ayano-chan and Mei-chan too~!"
"..." xN
That analogy sounded weird no matter how you thought about it.
Not just Asahi who had only recently met her, but even Mei and Ayano who had known her for a long time couldn't help but internally complain.
Actually, Nia had made similar comments about them before.
She'd say strange things like they were characters that only existed in "2D worlds," which left them quite baffled.
Why was she arbitrarily assigning them some "attributes"? It sounded really weird.
Everyone had similar personalities, so why were they special?
However, while they were thinking these things, not everyone shared the same perspective.
After hearing Nia's words, Mukuro's eyes sparkled. She nodded seriously, her face full of excitement, and even walked right up to Mei and the others, looking up somewhat shyly.
"M-Mei-nee, Ayano-nee, pleased to meet you!"
"..."
She's been fooled.
Seeing this girl actually gathering her courage to greet them, Ayano felt a bit of a headache coming on.
But seeing her serious expression, she couldn't bring herself to say anything negative, only nodding somewhat helplessly.
"Mhm mhm~! Mukuro-chan, we must get along well from now on~!"
As for Mei, she was even worse off.
She had always liked Mukuro very much, but because Mukuro had always kept her distance, she hadn't been able to get closer.
But now that Mukuro was actively approaching her, of course she was extremely happy~!
So she happily wrapped her arms around Mukuro in front of her. Though Mukuro seemed slightly resistant, she didn't push her away, allowing herself to be hugged.
It was a scene of harmonious joy, all the girls getting along wonderfully.
"Hey, have any of you ever considered my feelings?"
But despite this 'harmonious harem' atmosphere, Satoru, the person involved, couldn't help but complain.
"What feelings? Are you saying you have complaints about such a cute girl being matched with you, young man?"
"It's not that I have complaints, it's just... Muku is still a child, I don't have those kinds of thoughts about her."
If he really made a move, wouldn't that make him a lolicon???
To be honest, regardless of the others present, he specifically had no impure thoughts about Muku, who was just a child!
"What are you talking about? Aren't you exactly that?"
