Episode 29


I Managed to Bring Down the Entire Family of That Impossible-To-Conquer S-Class Beauty, Completely Filling in Her Outer Moat


โ€œFinally, class is over.โ€

All classes finished, I stuffed my textbooks into my backpack and prepared to head home.

Watching Kouki, who seemed busy with club activities, I left the school building and started walking home.

Just then, a black car suddenly pulled up right beside me, and men in suits emerged from inside.

โ€œThis can’t beโ€ฆ Kidnapping?!โ€

โ€œNo, Watarai-kun!โ€

โ€œHm? That voiceโ€ฆ Amagiri-san?โ€

There she was, Amagiri-san shouting from inside the black car.

Apparently, Amagiri-san was also being kidnapped right now.

โ€œI told you to get a normal car so people wouldn’t get the wrong idea!โ€

โ€œThis was the only company car available~โ™ชโ€

โ€œFine by me. Let’s show off a luxury car to the masses.โ€

Peering inside the car, I saw not only Amagiri-san but also Hina-san and Sachiko-san riding along.

Thinking it was a nuisance to just stand around here, I got into the car and took a seat.

What the hell is going on? Just as I was wondering, Amagiri-san started explaining.

โ€œWell, actually, I’m supposed to help Mom with her work and we’re heading out now, but Mom said, โ€˜I want Watarai-kun too!โ€™โ€ฆโ€

โ€œWhat? If this was the second kidnapping, I was planning to play it smarter this time.โ€

โ€œHuh? Second timeโ€ฆ Second kidnapping!? Wait, the first one was okay!?โ€

โ€œBy the way, Hina-san, why did you want me?โ€

โ€œDon’t ignore my question!!โ€

I knew if I dug any deeper, I’d end up spilling more than I should, so I smoothly changed the subject.

Amagiri’s mother, Hina-san, was dressed in her usual crisp suit, smiling cheerfully.

โ€œWell, you see~, this shoot is for a โ€˜Date Outfit with the Opposite S*xโ€™ feature, so I really wanted you to come~โ€
โ€œโ€ฆI’m sure there are plenty of other suitable candidates besides me.โ€

โ€œWouldn’t it be awful if my daughter’s date was some complete stranger? That’s why you’re perfect, Nozomu-chanโ™ชโ€

โ€œEh, but if it’s just a shoot for Amagiri san’s clothes, I don’t need to be there as the opposite s*xโ€”โ€

โ€œPlease, won’t you accept it~?โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ. Sounds interesting, so sure!!โ€

Hina san said โ€œOh, wonderfulโ™ชโ€ while cupping her cheek in her hand.

โ€œThen why are you here, Sachiko san?โ€

โ€œSince I’m writing a romance comedy right now, I’m in charge of finding locations for those kinds of situations.โ€

Sachiko gave a confident thumbs-up.

I don’t know how good her romance comedies are, but I guess I’ll see what she’s got.

After a few minutes of driving, we seemed to arrive at our destination.

โ€œHere we are. My regular sweet shop.โ€

The shop had a fancy atmosphere. It seemed like the kind of place you wouldn’t visit on your own unless you brought your older sister or someone.

Sachiko rang the doorbell and led the way inside.

โ€œWelcomeโ€”oh, Sachiko san! Today was the day for that photo shoot, right~?โ€

โ€œIndeed. First, let’s have everyone introduce themselves.โ€

Sachiko, who was acquainted with the staff, turned her gaze to us and urged our introductions.

โ€œI’m Amagiri Hina, president of the fashion modeling agency โ€˜Ryuulโ€™. I’m Sachiko san’s daughterโ™ชโ€

โ€œW-Well, I’m her granddaughter, Amagiri China! Nice to meet you all today!!โ€

โ€œโ€ฆAh, I’m just a random background extraโ€”โ€

โ€œThis fellow is my son-in-law, Watarai Nozomu.โ€

โ€œ”โ€•โ€•Haa!๏ผŸ”โ€

Suddenly interrupted by Sachiko, Amagiri-san and I both gasped in unison.

When did I become Amagiri-san’s fiancรฉ?

โ€œThat being the case, shall we order the Couples-Only Extra Large Parfait?โ€

โ€œGot it~! Just give us a moment, please~โ€

Before we could even tell the waitress our names, we were shown to our seats and she left.

โ€œSachiko san! Why did you do that!?โ€

โ€œWell, it’s couples-onlyโ€ฆ And that parfait looks amazing on camera.โ€

โ€œIt’s a shoot! They’d serve it even if we weren’t a real couple!!โ€

Ever since Chitose-san, I’ve had this feeling that Amagiri-san’s family is going all out to get me.

Is this the price I’m paying for them quietly closing in on me all this time?

โ€œAlright then, China, come over here and get changed~โ™ชโ€

Amagiri-san looked displeased as Hina-san led her to the staff room to change into her shoot outfit.

And so, only Sachiko and I were left at the table. The silence was broken by Sachiko, sitting next to me.

โ€œSo, Senseiโ€ฆโ€

โ€œWhat is it, Sachiko san, you compulsive liar?โ€

โ€œUghโ€ฆ When you say things like that, Sensei, it’s justโ€ฆ depressingโ€ฆโ€

โ€œโ€ฆWhat is it, Sachiko san?โ€

I frowned, took a sip of water, and asked her as she looked dejected.

โ€œAren’t you going to call my granddaughter by her first name?โ€

โ€œAh. Come to think of it, I’ve been calling her by her last name all this time.โ€

โ€œHonestly, it’s confusing who you are talking about, so just call her by her first name.โ€

It was true. Since becoming involved with the Amagiri family, calling her โ€œAmagiri-sanโ€ might cause confusion.

It’s not that I stubbornly refuse to use her first name, but since calling her by her surname has become the norm, it might feel strangeโ€ฆ

โ€œAlright, alright. I’ll get you used to calling her by her first name.โ€

โ€œCould you please not read my mind so easily? Teach me how to do it later.โ€

Sachiko received the parfait she’d personally ordered from the waiter, lifting the corners of her mouth slightly.

What on earth was about to begin?

โ€œSince my appearance is identical to Cina’s, this should be good practice, no?โ€

โ€œWellโ€ฆ I suppose so. What exactly do you plan to do?โ€

โ€œI’ll interact with you while imitating China. You call me China. That should correct it.โ€

โ€œSo I’ll convince yourselfโ€ฆ Self-suggestion is my hobby, so no problem! Let’s do it!โ€

โ€œโ€ฆI thought you drew a line, but it seems more like four or five lines have been drawn.โ€

Sachiko cleared her throat and promptly began imitating Amagiri san.

โ€œHey hey, Watari-kun, this parfait is super delicious! Let’s eat it together!โ€

โ€œWhoa. S-seriously~โ€

โ€œDo you think it’s harsh?โ€

โ€œNot in the slightestโ€ฆโ€

Thinking about Sachiko-san doing this stuff inside her headโ€ฆ it’s pretty intense.

But grandma China-san’s quality is top-notch, as expected.

โ€œAlright thenโ€ฆ here we go! Open wide~โ™กโ€

โ€œEh, no, umโ€ฆโ€

โ€œCome on, it’s part of your correction! Open wide~!โ€

“โ€ฆOpen wideโ€ฆ “

Sachiko-san offered me a spoonful of vanilla ice cream, and I couldn’t refuse, so I stuffed it into my mouth.

This is also part of the effort to get me to call her China-san, right?

โ€œHehe, Watarai-kun, you’re stiff as a board. Are you that nervous?โ€

โ€œWell, yeahโ€ฆ somewhat.โ€

โ€œAhaha! It’s okay, I might be a little nervous tooโ€ฆ just kidding!โ€

โ€œHm, hmmโ€ฆโ€

After a shy smile, she naturally placed her hand on my thigh and leaned in close enough for her breath to brush me.

Sachiko-san is way too seductive, seriously!?

What should I do? Help me, Nabatame-san. Your wife is probably a beauty capable of toppling a kingdom.

โ€œI was thinking of wanting Watarai-kun as my grandson-in-law~ but if that’s not possible, I might just make him my second husband insteadโ™กโ€

โ€œHuh? Ehโ€ฆ? China-san? This is just practice calling names, rightโ€ฆ?โ€

โ€œWell? I wonder~โ€ฆโ™กโ€

Her hand, which had been resting on my thigh, gently traced up my body and finally came to rest on my cheek.

Oh crap.

Sachiko-san’s eyes looked like some kind of predator’s. This was serious.

I-If this keeps upโ€ฆ I’ll be eaten alive!

The moment I thought that, a piercing voice rang out.

โ€œGrandma! What are you doing to Watarai-kun!?โ€

Thanks to the real China-san, who had finished changing, showing up, I avoided being eaten.

โ€œโ€ฆHey, Watarai-kun. Don’t you think Fake China’s pretty good too, compared to the real China?โ€

โ€œF-Fake China-sanโ€ฆโ€

โ€œWatari-kun! Even if Grandma tries to get her hands on you, you have to refuse properly! You have Grandpa, after all!โ€

โ€œReal China-sanโ€ฆโ€

The real China-san sat down next to me, sandwiching me between the fake and the real.

If Fumihiko saw this, his brain would probably explode.

โ€œHere, here, Watarai-kun, I’ll open wide for you again! Here, open wide โ™กโ€

โ€œYou can’t touch Grandma! Watarai-kun, just deal with me! Here, open wide!!โ€

A chaotic situation erupted where spoons were being offered by both Chinas.

What the hell is this? Not my thing at all!?

My inner voice screamed like a data character shouting, โ€œThis isn’t in my data!?โ€

โ€œWatarai-kun, you won’t eat Grandma’s โ€˜open wide,โ€™ right!?โ€

โ€œUh, yeah! I won’t eat it!!โ€

โ€œWatarai-kun, won’t you eat my โ€˜open wideโ€™?โ€

โ€œI’ll eat it!!โ€

A tug-of-war (?) over me erupted and seemed poised to escalate.

But a single word enveloped the scene in silence.

โ€œOh my. What on earth are you two doing~โ€ฆโ€

โ€œH-Hina-sanโ€ฆ!โ€

Hina-san appeared, wearing a cheerful yet clearly angry expression.

Her arrival brought the commotion to an end, and both of them got a thorough scoldingโ€ฆ
