Silence reigned after Chiaki's kiss.
Judging from Chiaki and Mika's expressions, Seiji knew that he had successfully transmitted his feelings, and that he didn't need to say anything else.
After he calmed down, he could finally smile brightly as he always did again.
'A harem is indeed an unfair relationship,' Mika thought to herself.
'But, I only saw how unfair it was to me. I never carefully considered just how much pressure Seiji must be under from it.
'This relationship is his own choice, along with our own choices. All of us are responsible for it.
'He said that he would ”take things slowly” and sincerely treat all of us, allowing any of us to change our minds at any time. He's truly gentle.
'Yet I still didn't think that this was enough, and I wanted even more… Although I was influenced by Chiaki, the reality is that I really wanted this deep inside my heart.
'The result was that I made him cry.
”Pretending to be a handsome womanizer has its limits for me.”
This sentence contained so many emotions that etched themselves deeply within Mika's heart.
'I'll never forget this sentence for the rest of my life, nor will I forget the expression he had while saying this.
'Chiaki is probably the same as well.
'We all need to self-reflect properly and think about our futures.'
”I'm sorry… for showing both of you such an unseemly sight.”
'No, I'm the one who was unseemly.
'You recognized your own responsibility, but I didn't recognize mine. I was the truly unseemly one.
'I'm sorry, Seiji.
'Such a thing… I'll never let it happen again!'
Natsuya received a phone call.
To her surprise, the caller ID indicated that the call was from Mika Uehara.
”Good evening, President Yoruhana.”
Mika's voice sounded steady and solid, giving Natsuya an impression of a certain resolution.
”It's quite late already. Is something the matter?”
”Some things happened… I feel that I shouldn't procrastinate any further,” Mika told her.
”What is it?”
”I wish to have a… harem discussion with you and Chiaki.”
A harem discussion… Natsuya really wanted to comment on this term! However, she could tell that Mika was being quite serious right now.
Ever since all three of them confirmed their relationship with Seiji, none of them had yet to have a serious conversation with each other about this topic. That was because none of them had brought it up.
”What's suddenly motivated you to do this?”
”I'll tell you at the harem discussion meeting, because it's something you should know.”
”…What time shall we meet?”
”Will tomorrow morning be fine?”
”Not a problem. Where shall we meet?”
”Let's just meet at the coffee café where you previously met with Chiaki.”
After arranging a time and place, Mika hung up the call.
She had already left Seiji's apartment and was in Chiaki's apartment at the Uehara apartments. Chiaki was standing right across from her, smiling.
”Nice look on your face, Mika.”
”…I didn't have a strange expression just now, did I?” The twintailed girl rubbed her face.
”What I mean is that you had an excellent aura around you just now!” Chiaki gave her a big thumbs up.
”I didn't feel like I had an aura at all.”
