 ”Whoa!”

 On a certain day in December, the town was filled with Christmas illumination lights.

 ”Hey, you two, hurry up!!”

 ”Wait, Kohina-senpai! Be careful not to slip and fall!”

 I was just lounging around at home with Kanon, and then Kohina-senpai showed up with Ayana.

 She said she wanted to see the illuminations and asked us to come along. Well, I guess it’s fine. And Ayana got dragged along too…

 Yeah, I get it. Even if Ayana didn’t say anything, I knew what was going on.

 No choice, I guess. It would be a shame to leave Ayana alone, and Kanon and I will tag along too.

 ”Sorry, you two.”

 ”It’s okay, Ayana. Let’s just enjoy it!”

 ”Yeah, Aqua’s right!”

 With Kanon on my right and Ayana on my left…I guess this is what they mean by “having flowers in both hands”!

 Haa! This is like a reward for me, an early Christmas present maybe?

 As I was getting all lovey-dovey with the two of them, Kohina-senpai suddenly popped up.

 Hey, wait a minute! I’m going to take a picture!

 ”Look, Kanon, Ayana, turn this way.”

 ”Huh?”

 ”Ah…”

 I took a picture of the two of them with the illuminations in the background.

 Nice! They both look super cute!!

 Ugh, just as I took a great picture, Great Kaiju Yukari-gon suddenly photobombed them with half her face.

 What, are you here to ruin the moment?!

 ”Take a picture of me too!”

 ”Okay, okay, I get it!”

 No choice. I’ll take a picture of Kohina-senpai too, with the illuminations as the main focus.

 Hey, Kohina-senpai, how about we take a picture with that ice sculpture of a bear over there?

 Yeah, that’s a great idea It looks really good. I’ll post it on social media later.

 ”Aqua, turn this way.”

 ”Okay, make sure to take a cool one!”

 I had Kanon take a few pictures of me.

 I’ll post this on social media later too.

 ”Ah, excuse me, beautiful lady over there… may I have a word with you?”

 ”Fweeh, y-yess!”

 Since we’re already here, I’ll ask that big-breasted lady walking nearby to take a photo of the 4 of us.

 ”Hey, didn’t he just say ‘big-breasted’?”

 ”Hmm, and that lady he called out to is indeed bigger than the 3 of us.”

 ”See, Aqua really likes them big.”

 Wait, what’s with that scary face over there?

 Especially Ayana, her eyes have lost their sparkle…

 I take a photo with the 3 of them. For some reason, the atmosphere around us feels a bit chilly.

 Is it because it’s nighttime and it’s gotten cold? This place feels especially cold.

 ”Thank you.”

 ”No, thank you… ah, I’m a big fan, always cheering you on.”

 ”Thanks, big.”

 ”Big?”

 ”I’ll keep working hard for fans like you, big sis.”

 Whoa, I almost said “thanks, big-breasted big sis”…

 Safe!

 ”Ah, he used his good looks and sparkle to gloss over it.”

 ”That guy, if he wasn’t an idol or actor, he’d definitely be a con artist by now.”

 ”Thinking about it, that CM wasn’t entirely wrong…”

 Shh! Don’t say any more, everyone!

 Besides, even if I wasn’t an idol or actor… if I wasn’t, who knows what I’d be doing now.

 Maybe I’d be using my cooking skills to run a restaurant or something. Ah, running a small restaurant with Kanon wouldn’t be so bad.

 Or maybe I’d be a sports athlete and marry an idol like Ayana. That’s possible too.

 If my partner was Kohina-senpai… I’d even consider being a freeloader and letting her support me. That sounds nice. It’s okay if I’m the one being taken care of for once.

 ”Let me tell you, if you weren’t an actor, we wouldn’t have met.”

 ”Ah, yes.”

 I see… no, wait! Don’t read people’s minds like that so easily!!

 Is Kohina-senpai hiding some kind of special skill?

 ”Everything you’re thinking is written all over your face.”

 ”Eh-eh.”

 Kohina-senpai playfully pinched my cheek.

 Ugh, am I just gonna let things go on like this?!

 I try to get back at her a bit, so I wrap my arms around Kohina-senpai’s waist and pull her in tight.

 ”Really?”

 I gently place my hand on Kohina-senpai’s chin.

 Kohina-senpai… don’t regret making me serious, okay?

 ”So, can you guess what I’m trying to do now?”

 I lightly trace Kohina-senpai’s lips with my thumb.

 How’s that? This is the real Shirogane Aqua!! Even Kohina-senpai can’t win against this!

 ”Hmm, whatever… but isn’t it a bit cold outside?”

 Huh?!

 Kohina-senpai opens her coat a bit and presses her body against me, making sure I can feel her shape and weight.

 Whoa, what’s with the sudden mature big sister vibe?!

 ”Hey… wanna go to that hotel over there and get all warm and cozy with me?”

 ”Yes, ma’am!”

 Owwwwwwww!

 My cheeks are burning, and now they’re being pinched even harder than before!

 ”You think you can win against me with just acting?! That’s a million years too early!!”

 A million years?! That means I’ll never win against her in my lifetime, right?!

 Wait, does that mean I’ll have to keep trying until I die?! No way!

 I try to soothe my reddening cheeks.

 ”Aqua… that was your fault.”

 ”Yeah, I think so too.”

 I know, I know, I’ll apologize to Kohina-senpai properly.

 No matter who it is, it’s not okay to touch a girl’s lips with your fingers or try to trick her.

 ”Hey, stop being a fool and let’s go already.”

 ”Yes, ma’am!”

 Kohina-senpai turns her back to me and gives me a light push.

 ”Hey, did you see Kohina Yukari just now?”

 ”Yeah, after he touched her lips with his finger, her face turned super red!”

 ”Hmm, she’s more adorable than I thought.”

 ”No way, anyone would be like that if they were treated like that by Aqua-sama.”

 ”Aqua-sama should know his own destructive power better.”

 ”A normal girl would’ve definitely ended up in an ambulance.”

 ”Haha, this is some serious Shumi NTR!”

 ”I posted it on the bulletin board, didn’t I?”

 We push through the surrounding noise and head to the Chris Christmas Market, which is a bit early for the illumination lighting ceremony.

 Whoa, there are so many stalls and it looks like so much fun!!

 ”Hey, Aqua, look! There’s a stollen stall.”

 ”Alright, let’s buy some for everyone to eat.”

 There are also stalls selling cute cookies and baked goods, individually wrapped and perfect for gifts. We could bring some to the company or to Grandmother Mary’s and Emily-san’s places.

 Kanon and I buy a few things that will keep for a while, for home and as gifts.

 ”Hehe, we bought a lot, didn’t we?”

 ”Yeah. But more importantly, Kanon, aren’t you cold? Come closer, it’s okay.”

 ”Yes.”

 Kohina-senpai and Ayana are shopping, so I spend some relaxed time with Kanon.

 ”…I never thought I’d be able to see the illuminations like this with Aqua…”

 ”Kanon…”

 I remember when Kanon went back to the Stars and my chest feels tight.

 I’ll never let go of her hand again!!

 I turn to Kanon and gently but firmly hold her small hand.

 ”No matter what situation you’re in, I’ll always come to pick you up from now on.”

 ”Aqua…”

 ”I promise I won’t put you in any danger like that again.”

 Kanon and I lock eyes.

 The illumination lights reflect off her jewel-like blue eyes, making them sparkle even more.

 Luckily, we’re in a corner seat, so no one’s watching.

 I softly kiss Kanon’s lips.

 ”Hmm, I see. So this is what it’s like to kiss. Yeah, it’s a great learning experience.”

 ”Kohina-senpai, that’s not good! You should consider the atmosphere and let them be for a bit.”

 Haaaa… Ayana is absolutely right. I wanted to tell her to read the air a bit, but since everyone’s here and I got the urge to kiss, I’m the one to blame.

 Kanon, sorry. But since we were in the flow of kissing, I couldn’t stop.

 ”Medic!”

 ”Hey, there’s someone standing still, dead!”

 ”This is it, the cause of death is honorable death.”

 ”Now I understand what it means for reality to surpass drama.”

 ”Sorry, Hakuryuu-sensei. I guess we can’t win this one.”

 ”Whoa, I’m getting wet… need to change my pants…”

 ”Kissing is really happening… first time I’ve seen it…”

 ”We have to post on the bulletin board that our Shumi is doing something erotic with Aqua-sama!”

 Looking at Kanon’s bright red face is making me feel like I’m going to die from cuteness.

 Ah, tonight, when we get back, I’m definitely going to embrace her. Of course, I won’t let her sleep, so she should be prepared.

 ”Hey, hey, it’s the giant tree’s lighting ceremony, this way, this way.”

 ”Yeah, yeah, I know.”

 Kohina-senpai is acting like a kid, getting all excited, but can’t she just calm down a bit?

 I talk to Ayana, who’s nearby.

 ”Ayana, aren’t you tired?”

 ”I’m fine. It’s just usual stuff.”

 Ugh, Ayana is such a good girl!

 And to think that she’s always dealing with that little tyrant… it’s making me want to cry.

 ”Besides, I wouldn’t have come to see this if it weren’t for everyone, so today is fun. It’s been a while since I’ve seen illuminations in a private setting like this, maybe since I was a kid.”

 ”Yeah… let’s do it again next year.”

 ”U-um!”

 Looking at Ayana’s red face is making me think she’s cute.

 If Ayana were my girlfriend, we’d probably be kissing at a time like this.

 ”Hey, why aren’t you kissing me like you did earlier?”

 ”Should I? I mean, I’d kiss you anytime… Wait, Kohina-senpai, not again!”

 Whoa, I almost kissed her, thinking she was Ayana.

 She suddenly started speaking in a cute voice, and I almost made a mistake!

 This person is really good at imitating Ayana’s voice, but they’re so clumsy in everyday life and social interactions!

 ”You should just do it.”

 ”No, no, no, you’re not supposed to say that, Kohina-senpai!”

 Look, just look at Ayana’s face, it’s as red as a tomato!

 Ah, she’s so cute I’m worried some weird guy might hit on her.

 ”Don’t worry, the only guy who could deceive Ayana-chan is you.”

 ”So, please don’t read people’s minds like that…”

 ”You’re the one who’s bad, with your silly face and simple thoughts!”

 Ugh, I have no comeback!

 ”Huh?”

 ”What’s wrong, Ayana?”

 ”Isn’t that Claire-san over there?”

 Oh, it’s really her. Claire-san is wearing a nun’s habit and handing out candy to kids.

 Is she doing some kind of volunteer work? That’s amazing. I respect her as a person.

 ”Claire-san.”

 ”Ah!”

 When we called out to her, Claire-san looked surprised.

 Hmm? Shouldn’t have called out to her? She looks really flustered.

 ”G-good evening, Aqua-kun. And Kanon-san and Ayana-san… and Kohina Yukari-san… nice to meet you.”

 ”Likewise, nice to meet you. If our idiot here causes any trouble in class, feel free to scold him.”

 ”H-haha… you’re just like you are on TV…”

 When we talked to her, it turned out Claire-san was indeed doing volunteer work, handing out candy.

 Huh, which volunteer activity is this? Eh? It’s not that big of a deal, right? No way, it’s not like that. You’re doing something really great here. I bet it’s a wonderful place.

 It looked tough for her to do it alone, so I asked if I could help with Kanon, and it turned out we’d be distributing sweets together.

 ”Wow, it’s the real Ayana-chan!”

 ”Hehe, it’s really me. Want a cookie?”

 Ayana was immediately surrounded, being the center of eau de Cologne and all.

 The kids and their moms were cheering her on, saying “Good luck!” and “You’re doing great!”

 Ugh, if I were a kid, I’d pretend to be innocent and get a cookie while hugging her!!

 ”Wow, Kanon’s so cool…”

 ”Thanks. Here, have a cookie.”

 Ahh, this is great. Imagining Kanon with kids in the future is making me feel all fluttery.

 Kanon’s cuteness when she’s with kids is just too much. I want to be spoiled by Mama Kanon too!!

 I guess I won’t be able to sleep tonight. I’ve made up my mind to make babies with Kanon.

 ”Hey, it’s the little devil Yukari!”

 ”Don’t bully Aqua-oniichan!”

 ”Ow! Hey, you kids, don’t pick a fight with me And by the way, my name is Kohina. Who called me a little devil? Come out here!!”

 Yeah, I knew it.

 She’s completely on the same level as the kids.

 A mom who seriously fights with kids? What’s wrong with her?

 ”Here, have one.”

 ”Thanks.”

 Compared to that, Claire-san’s kindness is really refreshing. It’s soothing to my heart.

 She’s the most mature one among the 4 of us.

 ”Thanks, everyone.”

 ”No problem, and now that we’re done with the volunteer work, let’s enjoy the illuminations together, Claire-san!”

 ”A-ah, thanks.”

 It’s more fun with a bigger group, anyway.

 So we decided to enjoy the illuminations again, the 5 of us.

 ”Huh, what’s that?”

 ”Isn’t that Aqua-sama’s harem?”

 ”Huh? You mean the girl in the sister outfit is an ordinary person? Her face is so… perfect…”

 ”Kohina Yukari, she’s still got it as an actress, I guess.”

 ”Ayana-chan’s face is so small… she’s so cute…”

 ”Shumi-chan can say ridiculous things like ‘A great victory’ because she’s a real-life princess, which is just cheating.”

 I’m getting a little hungry.

 We head to the food court and buy some food and drinks from the stalls to eat together.

 ”This stew is delicious!”

 ”Hey, Kanon-san, there’s bread too!”

 ”Whoa, this chicken is great too!”

 ”Hey, give that to me!”

 ”Here, everyone, I got some drinks!”

 Mmm, I’m stuffed.

 Now that we’ve come this far, I want some dessert to wrap things up.

 ”I’ll go buy some dessert, okay?”

 ”Me too, I’ll come with you.”

 What should I get, I wonder?

 I stand next to Claire-san and we pick out some desserts together.

 That’s when I run into someone I recognize.

 ”Ramen Takeko, it’s the Christmas market store!”

 Huh, Emily-san?

 And she’s cosplaying as Santa?

 I’m so taken aback by how erotic it is that I almost fall over.

 Is this some kind of paid option or something?

 I almost pull out my wallet without even ordering anything.

 ”Emily-san, what are you doing?”

 ”Ah, Claire… I mean, Aqua-sama!? Oh, oh, oh, are the 2 of you on a date…?”

 ”That’s not true at all!”

 Huh… you don’t have to deny it that strongly, Claire-san. I feel a little down.

 ”Ah, um, I’m the one who should be sorry…”

 No way. I stick my tongue out at Claire-san.

 ”Claire-san is cute, so if you fall for someone like that, you’ll get tricked by a bad guy.”

 ”A bad guy might trick me…”

 ”No, it’s like you’re already being tricked, but not really.”

 Huh? What did Emily-san just say?

 ”By the way, do you two want some ramen?”

 ”Uh, we just ate lunch…”

 ”Well, we have crepes too.”

 Why is there crepe at the ramen shop!?

 Well, let’s not worry about the details. I feel like I was told that thinking too deeply is bad.

 ”Yes, Emily’s special white cream-filled banana crepe is ready! Kanon has strawberry, Ayana-chan has chocolate, Kohina-senpai has caramel butter, and Claire has matcha red bean.”

 As expected of Emily-san. I thought so when I helped her before, but Emily-san is really skilled.

 Emily-san quickly finishes making crepes for the 5 of us.

 ”I added whipped cream as a service, so enjoy the illumination with everyone!”

 ”Thank you so much!!”

 ”Thanks, Emily-san.”

 We thanked Emily-san and went back to our seats to enjoy our desserts.

 Of course, after we finished eating, we all went to thank Emily-san again.

 ”Alright, let’s head back!”

 ”Okay!”

 Is Kohina-senpai planning to come back with us too?!

 Huh? What about my personal illumination viewing party with Kanon?

 I was just about to decorate the Kanon tree with white and gooey stuff, but… is she really coming?!

 ”What’s wrong?”

 ”Nothing, really…”

 Kohina-senpai glanced around and then leaned in close to my ear, whispering.

 Hey, can you please stop making those occasional cute girl-like gestures? It’s making my heart skip a beat.

 ”If you keep giving off that tense atmosphere, Kanon-san will get defensive too. I’ll come back with you at just the right time, so don’t worry.”

 Kohina-senpai~~~~~~~!

 I was misunderstanding Kohina-senpai all along. Kohina-senpai can actually read the atmosphere.

 And she’s even considering my feelings… ugh, and I’ve been… from now on, I’ll try to be a bit nicer to Kohina-senpai. I think I’ll even try to call her once every ten times instead of just once every 20 times.

 ”Seriously… I knew you weren’t a scammer. You’re probably the type to get taken advantage of by a girl you scammed and end up as her pet or something.”

 ”Huh? Did you say something?”

 ”Nothing, nothing. Come on, let’s just go already!”

 ”Okay!”

 After that, we went home and had fun playing games.

 Of course, after everyone left, Kanon and I were alone together…
