Around
the table, Kurosawa-san, Masaki-chan, and Tashiro-san are chatting together.
「Mai!?」
「Arara...」
When
the girls saw Fujiwara-san behind me, they all looked surprised.
Fujiwara-san,
on the other hand, looked puzzled and asked me.
「Misuzu
and Masaki-chi... and that's Tashiro-san from the next class, right?
Hiratsuka-kun's girlfriend...」
「Ahaha...
he's my ex-boyfriend, though」
Fujiwara-san
and Tashiro-san didn't seem to have any direct contact, but they probably knew
each other's faces.

「It's
bad... I feel dented. If I join this group, I'll definitely look inferior」
「No,
you won't」
「Yes,
I will! I can't even handle Misuzu and Masaki-chi... and now, about Tashiro-san...
do you know it? Tashiro-san is very popular with the underclassmen girls!」
「Is
that so?」
「They
call her the White-Yuri-Princess!」
Instantly,
Tashiro-san spurted out a mouthful of tea and wailed loudly.
「Is
that so, White-Yuri-Princess?」
「Heh~...
White-Yuri-Princess, how do you feel now? How do you feel?」
Kurosawa-san
and Masaki-chan are relentless at times like this.
They
lean forward on the table, grinning, and start to urge Tashiro-san on.
「I, I,
I didn't want this name!」
Tashiro-san
turns away, her face turning red.
As
Kurosawa-san tries to make fun of her further, Masaki-chan turns to me and says
with a wry smile.
「In
the end, Fumio-kun made Mai into your thing, too, didn't you?」
「Yeah,
she's the Fourth Favored Princess...」
「That's
a little surprising. I thought she was just going to be a normal girl and not
bring her into this room」
「Yeah...
well, it just happened...」
I
stammered, and Kurosawa-san interrupted me, cowering.
「Well,
as for me, I'm totally OK with Mai」
「Well,
I don't want to give the Confinement King a hard time by having the two
favorite princesses quarrel with each other. Fourth Favored Princess! I'm
counting on you」
Fujiwara-san
let out a sigh of relief when Tashiro-san said that.
Normally,
it would be a four-way fight. It was a scene that could have led to the
outbreak of an argument, but when all four of them were [Enslaved], it was
quite peaceful.
As the
table they were sitting around was for four people, I offered Fujiwara-san a
seat first, and then pulled a chair from the next table and place it on the
so-called birthday seat.
「So,
the reason why I asked everyone to gather here early in the morning is to show
off Fujiwara-san's new status as the Fourth Favored Princess. Four of you are
my top girls, so I'd appreciate it if you could get along each other」
When
I said that, Masaki-chan suddenly raised her hand, "Me, me!".
「Outside
this room, Mai-chan is still your girlfriend?」
「Eh?
Oh, yeah, there's no reason for us to break up...」
Fujiwara-san
nodded her head in agreement as I puzzled over the meaning of the question.
Masaki-chan,
however, glanced at Tashiro-san, nodded at each other, and left their seat.
And
then they both said...
「We
demand better treatment! We demand it!」
「We
demand!」
Suddenly,
they raised their arms and shouted loudly.
Fujiwara-san
rolled her eyes in surprise, while Kurosawa-san kept her mouth agape.
They
shouted even louder at us, while we looked on in bewilderment.
「Misuzu-chan
got Fumio-kun's virginity! Mai-chan got her position! Now that Mai-chan has
become the favorite princess, Ui-chan and I have the right to get what we
deserve! Treat your favorite princess equally!」
「Equal!」
It's a
scene that gives me a sense of déjà vu, but I can't help but be confused.
On the
other hand――
「Hmm...
Fu~min's first time was with Misuzu... hee~」
Fujiwara-san
mutters in a very low voice, and Kurosawa-san says, "It's not that I'm
happy to have Fumi-kun's virginity".
No,
how can she be tsundere in this situation?
I take
it back. It's not peace at all.
**b
「Even
though you want me to treat you equal, I don’t know...」
I say,
confused, and Masaki-chan pokes her finger at the tip of my nose.
「Then
promise me that I'll be the one to have your first child!」
「Hey,
hey! Masaki!?」
「Ma,
Ma, Masaki!?」
Kurosawa-san
stood up unconsciously and Fujiwara-san panicked. Then, Masaki-chan looked
around at the two and sniffed.
「Misuzu-chan,
you're going to concentrate on entertainment after graduation, right? Of course
you don't have time to have a baby, do you? Mai-chan, you work at home as a
housemaid, right?」
「Are
you presuming I won't be able to continue my education!?」
Bang!?
Masaki-chan left Fujiwara-san, who looked as if she had been hit on the head
with a gun, and proceeded to talk.
「On
that note, I'm planning to go to a women's university in Hokkaido, away from my
parents. That's why I chose a faraway school as my university of choice. I can
have a baby without my mother and father knowing about it! Once the baby is
born, the rest is up to me」
It's
outrageous.
Masaki-chan's
idea is too crazy.
It's
strange. Where did that frightened little animal from the library go?
「What
are you going to do after the baby is born!」
Kurosawa-san
asks, and Masaki-chan smiles at her.
「I've
got some ideas, but I think I'll have to wait for Ui-chan's request first」
With
that, Masaki-chan passed the baton to Tashiro-san.
All
eyes turned to Tashiro-san.
Then
she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then she suddenly said something
outrageous.
「Confinement
King, I want to "live-with-you"!」
「Yessss!?」
「No,
I'm not talking about right now. After you go to college, you'll start living
on your own, right?」
「Y-yeah,
I'm planning on it, but...」
「I've
decided to go to the same university and the same department as Confinement
King. In other words, there's no one better than me to stay close by and take
care of Confinement King. That means that I am the Confinement King's
girlfriend at the university」
Immediately,
Fujiwara-san jumped up from her chair and shouted.
「I-I'm
going to the same university as Fu~min too!」
「It's
impossible, right?」
「Of
course, it’s possible」
「Sorry,
probably not」
「That's
unanimous!」
Fujiwara-san's
face became small and sullen as she was denied at once.
「Uuuu...
No, yeah, well, I knew that... but, we'll still be lovers and have a
long-distance relationship in our hometown, right?」
「That's
fine. If it gets out, it will look that Confinement King was cheating on you」
「I'm
the one who's bad!?」
「I
don't know what you're talking about. You're actually a much worse guy」
If you
say so, I can't even gulp.
「Umu, it’s
good! My dream comes true! We could huddle together in a small apartment, we could
go to the public bath with a washbasin in our arms, and Confinement King hugged
me as I waited outside in the cold weather. Yes, it's good, very good!」
What's
with that Showa folk world?
Kurosawa-san
looked at Tashiro-san, who was immersed in the world of her imagination, with a
stare.
「You
say you take care of him... But, can you cook?」
「No
problem. "Shima-is-a-good-cook". In other words, it's not an exaggeration to
say that I'm a good cook!」
「That's
an exaggeration!」
I
can't help but chuckled at this.
Why
Giant theory?

「...I
mean, does that mean Shima-san is going to live with us?」
「Isn't
it obvious?」
「Oh, as
I thought」
Masaki-chan
nodded with a twitchy smile on her face.
「Well,
Shima and I are one and the same, aren't we?」
「So
are I and Kei-chan」
Kurosawa-san,
why are you competing with her?
I
mean, shouldn't we just have to live together with Shima-san?
「Oh,
by the way...」
Masaki-chan
claps her hands.
「Since
Mai-chan is your favorite princess, she's going to have someone under her,
right?」
「Yes,
I'm planning to, but I was thinking of Kayama-san」
Suddenly,
Fujiwara-san's eyes widened.
「Kayama-san?
You mean Yui-chan? You've been messing with Yui-chan too? Oh no, my boyfriend,
he's a monster...」
「Don't
worry, you'll get used to it」
Masaki-chan
shook her head while Kurosawa-san gave a not-so-perfect follow-up.
「No, I
refuse. You can't give Yui-chan to me. It's not every day that a girl looks so
frustrated after being bullied」
She
rejected her with all the douchey reasons she could think of.
“Then,
someone else...”, I said, and this time, Fujiwara-san looked at me up and down,
“Yui-chan, she's our maid...”.
（Oops...
that's not good）
I
smiled bitterly, but then...
「Leave
it to Lili, Devi! 」
And
then, spinning around, Lili appeared in the air.
Yes,
she is a reliable devil girl.
「Lili,
do you have any good ideas?」
「Sure,
Devi!」
Lili
puffed out her chest confidently.
「Faction
rivalry! We're going to have a Fumi Fumi competition presentation, Devi」
「...What's
that?」
「Each
of the four factions will have their own ideas for entertaining Fumi Fumi,
Devi, and they'll write it down on a piece of paper beforehand, Devi」
「Yeah,
and then what?」
「Then,
Fumi Fumi will choose the one you think is the most interesting, Devi, and the
winning faction will have the Fumi Fumi for 24 hours, Devi!」
「Well...
I think it's interesting, but does it matter now?」
「Depending
on the members of the faction, they can play very differently, Devi. For
example, Surako can play with mucus. Ryoko can do skewering, Devi」
「No,
Ryoko can't be skewered!」
Tashiro-san
snapped her fingers at me as I screamed.
「Umu,
if I want Confinement King, I'll have to use my skills... I see」
「Therefore,
all four of you will select personnel for your faction to seduce Fumi Fumi,
Devi. The Harem Member Draft meeting is now in session, Devi!」
