175 – Selection
I opened my eyes to the sound of the doorbell ringing.
When I woke up feeling groggy, I remembered the nightmare I had last night.
I barely got up while rubbing my forehead. What kind of aftereffects really occurred? I can’t believe I’m having a dream like this with contents that don’t exist anywhere.
It’s as vivid as reality. The sensation of my clothes being removed or my body being touched was so vivid that it felt as if a stranger had really broken into my house.
I felt such fear and an unpleasant feeling, but the door to my house was locked.
I changed the password and there was no way anyone could come in.
The doorbell rang again, interrupting my thoughts.
“Yes, yes. Going.”
I mumbled and opened the front door. Who are you this morning?
I woke up half-asleep and opened the door feeling a little annoyed.
“Who are you?” .”
There was no need to talk until the end.
Elena, still in full maid uniform, placed her hands neatly together and bowed her waist.
“Hello. Boy.”
“Yes.”
“Good morning.”
I closed the road. No, I tried to close it, but her hand came out and blocked the gap.
“What are you doing? Boy.”
“No. The house isn’t in good shape right now, so let’s organize it for a moment….”
“Tidying up is the maid’s job. Please leave it to me.”
“No, no. It’s not even our maid… “
I don’t know why she came, but I knew she would come into my house.
After cleaning up her messy house, I tried to bring her in, but
“I will go in.”
There was no way I could defeat Elena by force. Eventually she opened the door and closed it.
“Ugh….”
I follow her in tears.
The outerwear and school uniform shirt were roughly taken off. Elena muttered as she looked at the house littered with all kinds of things.
“I wasn’t particularly disappointed.”
“… “If that’s the case, I’m glad.”
“On the contrary, the boy rarely shows any weaknesses, so my hope is to help you in this way.”
“I think I saw quite a bit.”
It seems like she’s already had quite a bit of help.
When will repaying the favor end?
I watched her tidying up her house with a feeling of embarrassment. As she sat blankly without any intention of stopping her, the events of that day came to mind.
– That harem. Could you please join me too? –
– I am sincere-
He lowered her head and scratched the back of her neck.
I feel embarrassed for some reason.
In what spirit did I say that? That was sincere, but it was still embarrassing.
I am embarrassed and ashamed.
I’m worried that Elena might see me as a strange person.
But that’s strange, isn’t it?
A harem.
If an ordinary person listens, ‘What? Even if you ask ‘Are you sane?’ Or look at it with disdain, it is an argument that has nothing to say.
I suddenly made that my goal, but I wonder what happened to Elena, who sincerely asked me to join it.
Now everything has become suspicious.
Do I really want to create a harem?
Elena claimed to be sincere, but is that claim sincere?
“It’s over.”
“Oh, already?”
“Yes. “It’s a smaller room than Shiraishi’s bathroom.”
“…… “I’m so sorry about that.”
Could it be that Shiraishi’s arrogant tone of voice passed on to Elena?
I murmured, pursing her lips, and she shook her head.
“No, boy. Please don’t get upset. “That’s not what I meant.”
“I wasn’t upset. And what does it mean?”
“I’m just worried. “I wish I could live in a larger space rather than a place like this.”
“Then, Elena, will you buy me a house?”
She asked half jokingly and the other half sarcastically, but she calmly nodded her head.
“I have a spare apartment. I usually stay at Shiraishi’s mansion, so if that’s okay….”
“No, it’s okay…” !”
I really can’t even joke with the people in this house.
Elena’s eyebrows arched slightly as she shook her head in disgust.
“Why are you refusing?”
“It’s burdensome… Even if I am too indebted to the Shiraishi family….”
“That place has nothing to do with the Shiraishi family. It’s my own house.”
“………… “
As expected, the joke doesn’t work.
“Let’s call a moving company right now…” .”
“No, don’t do it.”
I grabbed her arm as she took out her cell phone and called her.
“I don’t want to be indebted to Elena anymore.”
That’s right, because I’ve received a lot of help so far.
She said, blinking both eyes.
“This is not something I owe you.”
“Yes?”
“Because….”
Elena looked down at me and spoke calmly.
“Because I am a member of the boy’s harem.”
Ah, has it already happened like that?
“It is only natural to give everything you have to your master.”
“Please don’t make our relationship like that.”
“Then what kind of relationship do you want?”
Continued embarrassment. He held both of her hands together and said earnestly.
“Ordinary… “It’s okay if it’s your older sister or younger brother.”
At that moment, she grabbed my hand and lifted it up.
“Okay… !”
For some reason, her eyes were shining brightly.
“Then, from now on, please call me ‘Elena Sister.'”
“What sister would use such a polite honorific to her younger brother!”
It seemed like he would just keep chatting with her like this forever.
After barely stopping her, I brought up a topic that should have been brought up in the first place.
“… “What brings you here this morning?”
Today was the school opening anniversary. I couldn’t think of any reason why she would come alone on such a holiday morning without her Shiraishi.
She naturally sat down on my bed and only then returned to her original tension and answered.
“The lady was very worried about the boy.”
“Ah… yes.”
“However, the young lady is very busy. “She has to attend a meeting this afternoon as well, so it’s hard to find time.”
Did Elena come instead?
“I came to take the boy to the hospital myself.”
“There is no need to go that far….”
I can’t believe I’ll take you there. I felt like I was a child being taken to the hospital by my mother.
“That’s enough. I don’t have any pain….”
As she stood up from her seat, I stopped saying what I was going to say.
“The boy thought so and the girl was worried because she would never go alone.”
“No way…” .”
“Yes, it is compulsory execution.”
Her arms are stretched out. Clinging to the wall, I shouted to avoid the ugly sight.

“I understand! “I’ll go on my own feet, so please don’t grab me or pick me up!”
“…… That’s a shame.”
She put her hand in her armpit and tried to lift her up, but she took a step back.
“It will be out soon. “Please wait outside.”
She nodded and turned her body.
She thought she was going to leave just like that, but then she turned her head and looked inside the house.
“…… “Mr. Elena?”
“No, it’s nothing. “Okay then.”
After she left the house, I briefly washed her body, changed her clothes, and went outside.
“Why is it taking so long!?”
The person waiting outside was Seo-ah.
“Huh? What’s the matter?”
“Is that what you’re saying? “I came because of you.”
I saw Elena’s limousine approaching from afar.
Because there was no space to park around here, it seemed to have been parked a little further away.
“Haruna has her mom’s birthday, Eri is practicing for the competition. “Because stupid Yuuki went out to have fun.”
No way….
“I came to take you to the hospital.”
I would say he is too kind.
Contrary to her frowning expression and tone of voice, I smiled bitterly at Seo-ah, who had bothered to come all the way here.
“What are you laughing at! Rather, dress well, isn’t it cold?”
Seoah grumbled as she zipped up my jacket while tickling.
“Really. “Why do I have to come here?”
“Did you ask me to do this?”
“Of course. “Everyone else said they had plans today, so I had no choice but to come.”
It wouldn’t have mattered if I refused.
Seo-ah muttered to herself and turned her body.
“Okay. “Follow me quickly.”
We boarded Elena’s limousine with Seo-ah and headed to the hospital.
As we go, it is a good time to take off the cast. Having given up, I sat down.
I glanced at Elena driving in a strangely quiet car and Seo-ah looking out her window.
Neither of us are talkative personalities.
Is there nothing we can do about this political enemy? While I was accepting it, Elena asked.
“Did you find that?”
“Yes?”
That?
When she asked back an unexpected question, Seo-ah, who was sitting next to her, said,
“Yes. “It was at the back of the building.”
“What is that?”
Even when I asked, none of them answered.
The ensuing silence somehow created a heavy atmosphere.
“…… Okay.”
Elena, who answered much later, continued driving in silence.
“Hey, what do you mean?”
Feeling uneasy, I looked at them without mentioning anyone else.
“Did something happen last night?”
She glanced at me and asked.
“No, nothing happened…” .”
Other than just coming home and sleeping…. And other than having a slightly unpleasant nightmare….
“No. “There must have been.”
Elena answered, interrupting me.
“The boy just didn’t notice.”
I can’t believe I didn’t notice.
What on earth do you mean?
No, but… no way.
The imagination in my head is taking shape.
“Kotomi Yanase broke into your house last night.”
Elena spoke calmly in the quiet car.
“Climb the wall of the building with a ladder and through the window of your room.”
Seo-ah followed.
And then I realized that the vivid nightmare that felt like reality was not a dream.
“…… “Nothing really happened?”
Seo-ah looked at me and asked back.
There was nothing wrong with my body.
However, you may not know it yourself. Elena asked quietly as she was in confusion with her mouth closed.
“What would you like to do first? Declaration? Or moving?”
Is that why the story about Elena’s own apartment came out as a joke?
No, Elena must have been sincere.
“It would be better to choose something quickly. “He’ll probably come tonight too.”
Seo-ah looked easy-going, as if she was no longer angry.
She is lost in her thoughts for a moment.
And I said.
“No, neither.”
They kept their mouths shut and said nothing.
Are you dumbfounded or are you shocked?
“I will be at that house today too.”
I decided to press ahead with the same choice as the first time.
“…… “If that’s the boy’s choice.”
“You idiot.”
They didn’t ask any more questions.
