I Was Reincarnated as a Man Who Cuckolds Erotic Heroines, but I Will Never Cuckold Them (WN)

“I love Ayana.
I would have to be in contact with you a lot.
That’s why I don’t want to have a rift with you.
I’d rather laugh and have a good time than quarrel with you anyway, don’t you agree?　At least that’s what I think.”

As long as I’m going out with Ayana, I can’t avoid being involved with Seina-san.
Even if I were to disregard Seina-san’s wishes and be with her, I don’t want Ayana to have to deal with her family-related problems.
Family is a special thing, a special existence that cannot be replaced by anything else.
…… Of course, this is true for me as well.

“Even if you don’t approve of me, I will come talk to you until you do.
So please be prepared.
I’m not a quitter when Ayana is involved.”

　I would do this much for Ayana, that’s how I expressed my willingness.

Hearing my words, Seina-san surprisedly looked at me and then started to giggle.

“……Fufu…… ahaha.
You’re not giving up so …..huh.
You really are like him in every way.
…… must be.
You’d go that far for someone you love.”

“……uhm?”

I became worried about what had happened to Seina-san when she smiled as if she had understood something.
Seina-san wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes and then looked at me… no, it felt like she was looking at someone else.
But soon her gaze fell on me.

Seina-san took a deep breath and then bowed her head to me.

“I’m sorry.
I was so rude to you… and said such terrible things.
I know that an apology like this isn’t enough.
But still… I’m sorry.”

I couldn’t just brush off Seina-san’s sudden apology with a laugh.
She seemed so serious about it.

For me, it was something I had already moved past, so I wasn’t particularly bothered by it.
But I thought that I would accept her apology for her sake as well.
I felt that by doing so, Seina-san could also move forward.

“Yes.
But please also tell Ayana.
I’m sure she suffered too.”

“Yes… you’re right.
But first, I wanted to apologize to you.”

Seina-san raised her face and there was no longer any trace of darkness in her expression.
I felt a kind of atmosphere where she had let go of something, like a burden had been lifted.

…It might be a little sneaky, but would this request also be granted now?

“Um… can I still come here to see Ayana? Here, I mean.”

Seina-san nodded.

“Of course.
It might seem convenient now, but I want to get to know you better too.
After all, you’re the person my daughter has fallen for.”

“…………”

In just one day, my impression of Seina-san had changed considerably, and I felt a little bewildered.
But I didn’t sense any falsehood in her words just now.
I had wondered how things would turn out, but I suppose this can be considered resolved now.

“I’m a little confused.
Ahaha…”

“I’m sorry.
But you don’t have to worry about anything.
It’s all my fault.
I’ve just been carrying around something from a long time ago”

There was still a bit of awkwardness between us, but I felt confident that we could continue to build a good relationship.
Things had gone smoothly in the absence of Ayana, but I planned to report to her later… That was my plan, but then I heard footsteps running down from the second floor.

“Mom! I forgot my smartphone, so I need to go get it… Towa-kun!?”

It was Ayana who came running down.
Yes, Kana had forgotten her smartphone.
So I couldn’t contact her directly to ask her to come get her forgotten item.

Ayana looked surprised when she saw me at the entrance, and then she turned her sharp gaze to Seina-san, but soon that gaze turned into one of confusion.
And it’s no wonder, since Seina-san’s atmosphere was calm.

“Oh, so that’s what Ayana forgot.
Hey, Yukishiro-kun… Can I call you Towa-kun?”

“Ah, that’s fine.”

“Since you’re here, why don’t we chat a bit more? But this time, Ayana will join us too.”

“Is that okay?　I’m sorry to bother you then!”

“Welcome, Fufu.
I’ll go prepare some tea.”

Following her lead, I stepped inside the Otonashi residence for the first time in my life.
I took off my shoes and straightened my appearance before heading up the hallway, where Ayana suddenly let out a loud voice.

“WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED!? AM I DREAMING OR SOMETHING!?”

Her voice was louder than any I had ever heard before, and I made a mental note that it might cause a disturbance to the neighbors.
