Chapter 375: A Bit of a Revelation (2/2)

”Alright. Tell me what are you all staring at me for?”

”Monster, don't play dumb. You know why.” Erin clicked her tongue.

Of course, I know why, they're all waiting for me to pick who will be staying with me tonight. It's just the first day and with this reunion, everyone was surely eager to be alone with me.

”Can't I just pick all of you?”

It's the ideal choice but… Of course, that cannot be applied tonight.

”No, idiot. You can't do that. Every one of us wanted alone time with you. Those who will not get picked will have to wait for their turn. No hard feelings.” Irja, who already integrated herself with the other four, answered.

Since I have no choice but to answer them, I closed my eyes and acted as if I was trying to think hard about who I will pick.

I already had a girl in mind. Even before returning to this world I already thought of being alone with her. To have her tell me everything she's still keeping deep inside her.

As my eyes alternated between the five of them, they ultimately stopped at one particular girl. ”Yuko… Can I stay with you tonight?”

”Absolutely, Dai-kun.” Putting on her most enchanting smile, Yuko nodded.

And upon hearing who I picked, the other four all had a look of understanding and a slight disappointment. They also hoped to be picked after all. However, they also guessed who I would eventually pick for tonight.

Now that I'm here with them, there will be more chances in the following days and surely it will not put me into a dilemma. It's the first night so their competitiveness is at an all-time high. I'll thoroughly talk to them later when their turn comes.

After kissing each of them goodnight, I left the room with Yuko and moved to a smaller room that was perhaps specifically built for a couple to stay the night.

Hours passed and ever since moving to the room, Yuko and I didn't actually sleep. Instead, we got caught up with the waves of longing and passion for each other.

Our first time was with Yumiko so… it's a memory shared by the three of us. However, tonight, this was a memory that is special only for the two of us.

Right now, we're covered by a quilt made from a beast fur with both of our clothes scattered around the floor.

Amidst the ragged but rhythmic breathing, Yuko peacefully snuggled closer to my chest.

”There's a lot I want to say. About our past… What I told you before wasn't everything, I also remembered how you were before we were separated years ago.”

”I know. I felt that you're still keeping something from me. And… I'm here to hear all about it.”

”Un. If it's you, I know you will eventually pick it up… Dai-kun. Do you know? Your father, he's a close friend of my father.”

Upon hearing what she revealed, I honestly came to a stop.

Now that I think about it, it never passed my mind that my parents will have something to do with this Otherworld business. I always believed that they're regular humans all along…

However, given my special identity… there's no way that my parents will stay ordinary. Perhaps my mom is still ordinary but my father…

”I see. That's why he answered like that. What about my mom?”

When I asked him about what he would do if the world suddenly changed, he answered that he will take us to a safe place and do everything he can do to keep us safe.

That sounded normal but in his perspective back then, we're probably still little chicks in his eyes and were still in our growth period.

With my follow-up question, Yuko shook her head. ”Your mom is normal. She's someone your father fell in love with. I remembered… The day we first met, that's when my father took me to visit his long-time friend and he clearly mentioned that they have known each other since the start. As to why we're both born from them… I can only guess that it was decided and planned ahead of time.”
