Dual System in Daily World

Eriri knew Utaha's character, and she wouldn't lie to her about something like this.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised by this fact? Your expression is quite something, Miss Sawamura, with your pure love attitude."

"...So how did you handle this matter?"

"It was very simple. I asked the human resources department to notify her that she was being let go."

"What was the reason?"

"She didn't greet me when we passed each other in the company corridor. I felt like she was provoking me, and I felt disrespected."

"...No matter how you put it, that's outrageous."

Eriri found it hard to believe.

Utaha smiled contemptuously. 

"Who told me I was already in a position of power while she was not? Moreover, I did this for Chisato to see." 

"The outcome was obvious: he still valued me more than the girl who was trying to steal his attention." 

"Instead of speaking out, he deliberately took time to take us on vacation to the Maldives as compensation and comfort for me." 

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to me that you have such wonderful travel memories."

"..."

"So you understand now? Put away your leisurely attitude." 

"Now that everything is up in the air, the most important thing is for us to completely keep track of his whereabouts without making Chisato uncomfortable and to strive to protect him from any potential threats from other girls." 

"If we can't do that, at the very least, we need to keep him in our sight at all times without any mistakes." 

"That's the safest approach. I don't want to force myself to accept that there's a third person around him."

"..."

"Stop frowning and being silent all the time. How can I know what you're thinking if you don't speak? Do you want to help me?"

Just as Utaha leaned closer to Eriri, Chisato walked out of the bathroom on the other side.

He had simply tied a bath towel around his waist, with no clothes on his upper body.

 His wet hair dripped down, falling on his shoulders and flowing along his strong and attractive chest muscles to the line of his abdomen, where it was absorbed by the towel around his waist.

Both women stared at him, their mouths slightly pursed, thighs tightening unconsciously, and their mouths and tongues filled with saliva as they made subconscious swallowing movements.

Females' lust does exist.

"Ah, Eriri is here too. Sorry, I forgot to bring my clothes," Chisato said with an awkward smile. 

He said nothing more and quickly walked back to his bedroom.

Utaha snapped back to reality. She poked Eririli's arm and noticed a look of longing similar to her own in the other girl's eyes.

"There's something I've been holding back that I haven't asked you..."

"Stop talking. I probably know what you want to ask."

"...Then tell me."

"...It's just...it's super powerful, much more intense than in the dream. I felt like I was about to die from pleasure..."

Eriri raised her hands to cover her face.

Utaha's cheeks flushed pink and felt extremely soft. 

She suppressed the restless emotions in her heart and asked, "So do you hope he'll be shared by guys other than us?"

"...You don't need to say anything. I understand. We'll find an opportunity later, and let's explore Chisato together."

Utaha nodded slightly with satisfaction.

It had been so reassuring to sleep in his arms last night. But the more reassured she felt, the more anxious she became, fearing she might lose him.

Fortunately, she had now set aside the petty quarrels with Eriri and finally succeeded in convincing this guy to be on the same side with her again.

If the two of them joined forces, there was no possibility that anyone could breach their defenses.

At least Utaha was confident of victory now; she was so convinced.

…

A corridor separated the Yukinoshita apartment.

It was around eleven o'clock in the morning.

Yukino was in the kitchen, checking the inventory in the refrigerator.

Some time ago, her parents had called her home to stay for a few days. 

Before leaving, she had deliberately emptied the refrigerator of items that couldn't be stored, so now there were only a few onions and carrots left. 

There weren't many vegetables, and they couldn't sustain the needs of three people for lunch.

Yukino wasn't particularly picky, but entertaining guests with such simple food wasn't her idea of hospitality.

She decided to go downstairs to the nearby supermarket to buy some vegetables.

In fact, she had originally planned to buy the ingredients for lunch in the morning, but Yui and Iroha had arrived over an hour earlier than they had previously agreed, which derailed her plans. 

However, it didn't matter; it was very convenient to go downstairs to buy groceries, and it didn't take long.

Yukino took her access key card, walked to the living room, and said to the two who were engrossed in their studies, 

"I'm going downstairs to buy some ingredients for lunch. I'll be back later. Is there anything you need me to bring?"

Yui immediately put down her pen upon hearing this.

"Going to the supermarket? Let's go together! I haven't been to the supermarket with Yukino yet, so Iroha, you should come too."

"Hey, I don't really want to go to the supermarket. I'm usually sent by my mother to run errands."

Iroha seemed a little reluctant.

"Let's go together! The three of us can shop and choose the ingredients we like to eat. Let Yukino show off her skills later."

But Yui didn't give up. Under her energetic persuasion, both Yukino and Iroha eventually abandoned their original plans, and the three of them set out together.

In the elevator, Yui chatted with Yukino about how they were helped by the cute girl from the opposite family when they arrived, while Iroha chimed in with details.

Upon arriving at the supermarket, the three of them went straight to the food section.

While selecting meat products, Yui heard a familiar voice. She looked up and saw familiar golden hair.

She patted Iroha on the shoulder. "What a coincidence! We met her again."

Iroha looked over and smiled but didn't pay much attention.

Then, a male voice caught her ear, prompting her to look up again, this time in disbelief, as if she had been electrocuted.

Yui glanced at the two boxes of meat in her hands, unsure of what to choose, and asked Iroha for her opinion. 

However, after asking, she received no response, so she looked to her side.

"Chisato...Nii-san..."

Iroha lost her train of thought, her lovely eyes shimmering with emotion.

"Huh? Nii-san?"

Does Iroha have a brother? Why have I never heard of him?

While Yui was still confused,

Iroha took a step forward, shifting from a slow walk to a trot, quickly closing the distance of just a few meters.

Under the surprised gazes of the two beautiful girls, she threw herself into the arms of the man in front of her, her eyes glistening with moisture.

The defense that Utaha believed she had carefully established to withstand all external impacts was easily breached right before her eyes.
