I Managed to Bring Down the Entire Family of That Impossible-To-Conquer S-Class Beauty, Completely Filling in Her Outer Moat
On my day off, I went to the forest park with Amagiri san and her younger brother, caught bugs, shared rice balls for an indirect kiss, and finally sent Fumihiko home…
It was quite an intense day off.
We arrived at Amagiri’s house without incident, but right at the very end, a problem arose.
“No way!! I have to eat dinner with Onii chan again today!!”
“Stop being so selfish! Watarai-kun has somewhere to go too!!”
“Then I’ll make this my place to go!”
Aki-kun suddenly declared something like, “We’ll camp here!”
Amagiri-san tried to pull Aki-kun away from me, but he wouldn’t budge.
“Onii chan, is that… no?”
“Ugh! This is bad!!”
Aki-kun’s upward glance felt like an arrow piercing my heart.
Is he Medusa, turning me to stone if I meet his gaze?
“W-well, maybe just a little…”
“Watarai-kun!? You’re falling right into the trap!”
“Huh!? Oh, that was close…”
I managed to break free from the temptation and decided to seriously pull away.
Just as I was thinking that, the door opened and Chitose, her father, appeared.
“Oh, you three are back. What are you doing? Come on in already!”
“Eh, wait!? Ahhh!”
Chitose grabbed me and yanked me inside the house.
S-So much for resisting… All that effort wasted so easily…
“Hey, Dad! Watarai-kun was about to leave!”
“Huh? He’s already home. To my place.”
“Not to our house!!”
“Now, now, don’t get so worked up, China-chan. It’ll mess up your skin, you know?”
“Dad, seriously, just shut up…”
Chitose-san and I are game friends, so I never get bored, but thinking of this as my father seems pretty rough.
“Your clothes are dirty, so why don’t you take a shower?”
“After I send Watarai-kun home.”
“Alright, alright. I’ll send him back, so go take a shower with Akitoshi.”
“…It’s a promise. An absolute, absolute, absolute promise!!”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Chitose-san waves his hand dismissively, shooing Amagiri-san away.
Amagiri-san says “Thank you so much today” as she leaves, while Akitoshi-kun gets dragged into the bathroom and yells my name.
Well then, I guess I’ll head home too…
“Alright Hope-kun, then… wanna play a game with me?!”
“No, I’m going home!?”
He placed two cushions in front of the TV and patted the seat next to him.
He clearly had no intention of keeping his promise to Amagiri-san and was totally hyped to play games.
“You promised your daughter, so keep your word.”
“Eh? Promises are meant to be broken, right? Besides, if we’re both here, I’m not scared of getting yelled at by China!”
“Don’t drag me into this!”
Chitose-san boos my stubbornness, but I wouldn’t get in trouble for punching him once, right?
“Sigh… Fine. But since you played with my kids today, could you at least have some tea?”
“…Well, if that’s how you put it, I suppose it’s okay.”
“Yesss! Deal~”
His phrasing felt sneaky, and I felt like I’d just been pulled into a door-in-the-face tactic.
I was seated in a chair while Chitose-san bustled about in the kitchen right next to me.
“Hope-kun, are you a green tea person? Black tea? Or coffee?”
“I usually drink coffee.”
“Okay. Then I’ll make some coffee for you.”
he took out a cup and a jar, stuck a spoon into the jar, scooped some powder into the cup, and poured hot water over it.
The rich aroma of coffee filled the space.
“Here you go. It’s instant, but… enjoy.”
“Thank you.”
“…So? How was your date with China today?”
“!!”
I nearly spit out the coffee I taken a sip of.
“Wh-what are you talking about!? It wasn’t a date! Akitoshi-kun was there too!”
“Eh? That’s boring. So, honestly, what do you think of my daughter?”
“I didn’t come here to talk about love!”
“Come on now! It’s just harmless chit-chat between guys! Papa wants to relive that school trip feeling after so long!”
“Do it by yourself!!”
Having already taken a sip, leaving it behind and going home went against my principles.
Besides, if I don’t say something, the conversation won’t move forward. I’d feel like some NPC in a game.
…Sigh. Fine.
“Amagiri-san is definitely attractive. She’s called an S-class beauty at school, and she’s kind and cute.”
“Oh ho! So you wouldn’t consider dating her!?”
“Nah, no way. She and I are on different levels. Way too far apart. We wouldn’t be a good match.”
Saying that, he slurped his coffee.
Just seconds ago, Chitose-san had been smiling brightly, but now the smile had vanished.
“Who exactly decided you’re on different levels?”
“Huh? Well… my classmates say it, and I thought so myself.”
“Hmm, I see. I hate that way of thinking. It’s like arbitrarily setting your own limits, isn’t it?
As her father. I’ll tell you this. Before we even get to dating or not, I don’t want you putting up walls between dimensions. She’s a person too… just a girl.”
Amagiri China is an Untouchable S-class beauty.
Because of that, she’s sometimes revered as a figure beyond reach. But he probably meant that this kind of thing creates a barrier, isolating her…
(It’s definitely not good to build walls just because someone has incredible power or is rich. I hated it too.)
It’s true she’s impregnable.
But maybe she seems distant because we’ve built walls on our side too.
“…Right. I understand. If Amagiri-san doesn’t mind, I want to treat her as an equal from now on, without building walls.”
“Oh, I see! So when are you two going to start dating~~?”
“Chitose-san? I’ll seriously punch you.”
“Y-you’re scary, Hope-kun…”
As soon as I finished talking with Chitose-san, hurried footsteps echoed down the hallway.
The door clanged open, and Akitoshi-kun came in, wearing nothing but a towel around his neck.
“Onii chan isn’t home yet!? Ah! There you are~~!!”
“Ah, Akitoshi-kun!? You’re soaking wet. You really need to dry your hair properly, okay?”
“Eheheh, then I want onii chan to do it~~”
“Kuh, cute.”
“Hope-kun, don’t make words that sound like that~”
As I dried Aki-kun’s hair with the towel, footsteps echoed down the hallway again.
“Hey, Akitoshi! I’m not done drying my hair yet, so go back… wait… huh?”
“Ah, Amagiri-san… ――Gah!?”
It was Amagiri-san standing there. But she looked different.
Steam rose from her snow-white skin. Her long, silky black hair was gathered and piled atop her head. She stood there wrapped in nothing but a single bath towel.
Though held in place by the towel, her ample fruit seemed poised to spill out at any moment.
“Kyaaaah! Wh-wh-why!? Why is Watarai-kun still here!?”
“S-s-s-s-sorry, Amagiri-san! It’s all Chitose-san’s fault!!”
“I will lecture papa and beat him up later! I thought you weren’t here and just came out like always! This is so embarrassing!!”
Blushing bright red like a boiled octopus, Amagiri-san retreated back into the bathroom.
“…Hope-kun, did you see?”
“I, I saw… but it’s because Chitose-san stopped me, right!?”
“Whoa! Hope-kun, don’t get mad too!? I’ll forgive you for seeing China-chan in her bath towel!”
“Don’t trade your own daughter so easily, you useless old man!!”
“No matter what I say, I’ll just get yelled at! Ahahahaha!!”
Well, seeing Amagiri san like that was worth a downpour of cash.
It’s wrong. It really is wrong…!
(But I’m glad I saw it…!!)
A high school boy’s nature couldn’t be helped, and he was filled with happiness.
