NOVEL WEB Chapter 33: The Confession
[POV: Third Person]
“I don’t want you to be taken from me! I can’t think of anyone else for me to marry but you! So Yuuichi, please marry me.”
Kaori smiled broadly as she said this.
All three of them were different and unique but the one thing they had in common currently was that all of their faces were completely red.
“Yuuichi, choose me. I want to be happy with you. Stay by my side for the rest of my life.”
“Kaori…!”
Yuuichi for the first time learnt that his childhood friend Kaori from elementary school, held such feelings for him for a long time.
It was extremely easy to notice for a normal person, but for the extremely dense Yuuichi. He never really noticed it at all.
But if you say it so clearly, even a fool could understand what was being told.
He finally realized that Kaori really likes him.
And that everything she ever did for him was out of love and to monopolize him as well.
They were childhood friends who had been close for a long time, he always thought that they would always remain as friends their whole life.
But what kind of man wouldn’t have any thoughts after hearing about someone thinking about him so sincerely and passionately.
“Wa-Wait a minute.”
Shiho Fujise, who had been on a date with him the whole day, decided to speak up.
“I-I also l-like Shigemoto-kun.”
“Eh… EH?!” [TLN: I’ve been holding back on adding TLNs all this time BUT GO EXPLODE!!!] [ED: to be fair i would also like them to explode]
Yuuichi didn’t know about Fujise’s feelings because she hadn’t confessed to him yet.
He didn’t expect that Fujise, who was the person he had liked and was going to confess to today, would confess to him in reverse too.
“We just met in highschool, so I haven’t known you as long as Tojoin-san. But…YOU’RE MY FIRST LOVE TOO! I ALSO LOVE SHIGEMOTO-KUN!”
“Eh? wait-a-minute?”
“We were in the same class in our first year. You probably don’t remember this, but you helped me out when I was getting picked up by a stranger.”
“Eh? When?”
“In junior high school. I was being picked up by an adult and I was feeling very scared, but Shigemoto-kun was the one who helped me.”
“I feel like that situation did happen at some point.”
“I regretted not being able to ask your name at that time, but I was really happy to see you again in high school!”
Apparently Yuuichi had been helping and generating flags for Shiho Fujise ever since junior high school, entirely unbeknownst to the person himself.
“When I started talking to you in highschool, I started liking you more and more! It was the first time I ever had the thought ‘I want to date someone like him’”
“Fu-Fujise…”
“I love your kindness, Shigemoto! I love how childish you are! I love how scared Shigemoto-kun was at the haunted house today! I want to torment Shigemoto-kun so badly!”
“Wait, isn’t Fujise also saying something crazy?”
Just like Tojoin, something gave him a little glimpse of Fujise’s fetishes.
“That’s why… Please go out with me!”
Fujise declared, her face turning bright red.
“Yuuichi, marry me! I’m definitely more suited for you than Fujise-san!”
“I-I won’t lose to Tojoin-san! Shigemoto-kun, choose me!”
“Wa-Wait a minute..!”
What guy wouldn’t be bewildered by the sudden confession of two girls? One of whom he has known since childhood and was very close to, and the other of whom he had fallen in love with after entering high school.
“I have bigger breasts than Fujise-san! I also have a firm neckline, and my skin feels good to the touch because I go to the finest beauty salons!”
“Ka-Kaori, what are you saying?”
“I’ve got a C cup too! I’m more slender than Tojoin and I think I’m much more comfortable to hold!”
“Fu-Fujise, Calm down. You’re getting embarrassed and you’re dropping your honorifics.”
“My, Fujise-san, you don’t understand. Yuuichi likes BonkyuBon types like me. It’s evident from the history of the porn videos he watches.” [TLN: BonkyuBon means Good small Good. A type of bodystyle that leans towards western style with a more curvy shape. Larger Breasts, smaller waist and larger hips.]
“Hold up?! H-How did you know about that… I-Its a misunderstanding Fujise…”
Yuuichi, who almost exposed himself, desperately tried to make excuses to Fujise’s misunderstanding which isn’t really a misunderstanding to say the least.
“You don’t understand, Tojoin-san. Shigemoto-kun is the type of guy who likes to be tormented, as I found out today’s date. I’m sure Tojoin-san, who likes to be tormented instead, won’t be able to satisfy his needs.” [TLN: An S and an M, if you know you know.]
“Hold up! Fujise, what are you saying?!”
There was another revelation about Yuichi’s sexual fetishes as seen from another angle.
“Ku… I can’t deny that after looking at Yuuichi’s browser history!”
“Hey, stop it, please deny it for God’s sake. If you say something like that, it would really make me sound like I’m an M.”
Fujise and Kaori had already revealed their feelings, but Yuuichi was in the worst position because he got his fetishes exposed by both sides. [ED: Poor man, he just can’t stop getting exposed.]
“Th-That’s why I deserve to be Shigemoto-kun’s girlfriend!”
“No, it’s me! Kaori Tojoin is the one who deserves to be Yuuichi Shigemoto’s girlfriend and marriage partner! You’re the kind of girl who would break up with him after about three months of dating anyway! If that’d be the case, it would be better if I go out with him from the start instead!”
“N-No, that’s not true! If I go out with Shigemoto-kun, I’ll go out with him for years and years and eventually get married to him too!”
“Wait a minute, both of you. I’m not mature enough to be ready to go that far in the future.”
Fujise and Kaori were facing each other, arguing vehemently about who should go out with Yuichi, while poor Yuuichi was in the middle of them, trying to stop them all by himself. [TLN: Okay maybe you shouldn’t explode after all.]
Then, both Fujise and Kaori simultaneously turned towards him.
“Yuuichi! I love you! Please marry me!”
“Shigemoto-kun! I love you, please go out with me!”
“Eh… Uh….”
What man wouldn’t be happy to be confessed to like that by two beautiful girls?
However, there will also be no men that wouldn’t be troubled in this situation.
One was a girl he grew up with and was very close to, a girl who loves him and tried to monopolize him, a girl who was a little too affectionate, but is extremely pretty.
The other girl was a girl he fell in love with when he entered high school. She was so fun to talk to and extremely soothing, his ideal girl.
Both of these girls are very important to Yuuichi, and he doesn’t want to hurt either of them, but he can’t go out with both of them either.
“Which one is it, Yuuichi!”
“Shigemoto-kun!”
“UNNNN~”
He was thinking so hard that at this rate, steam would pop out of his head. No, seriously, steam is really blowing out of his head right now.
“…”
Suddenly, with so many things going on, his brain couldn’t handle the information overload, and this his brain got a flat tire and short-circuited before he could say another word.
With that, Yuuichi fainted and collapsed.
“EH, YUUICHI?!”
“SHI-SHIGEMOTO-KUN? ARE YOU OKAY?!”
The two of them support the fallen Yuichi but it seems that they won’t be able to hear Yuichi’s answer right now.
