A happy family with a wife, children, and mistress?

Translated by Dawn

A happy family with a wife, children, and mistress?

“Oh, the newly reborn Big Four are coming to work!”

When we teleported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) auditorium, everyone who also attended Inou Gakuen gathered there.

“I heard about Ijuin. Okui and the others had a rough time.”

“Are you all right, Arima-san? I never thought Ijuin was that kind of guy.”

Apparently, they saw the news this morning and were worried about us.

It was only natural to hear that Ijuin was caught for abetting murder and Maria was attacked since we were from the same school.

Some boys, however,

“Teleportation vs Precognition. Teleportation for the win.”

“I wish I could have seen that match.”

were thrilled by the heroic story.

“I used to be jealous of Arima and Okui and the others, but it’s been tough lately for them.”

“Huh?”

I thought for a moment that word had leaked out that OU was trying to abduct us, and for a moment I panicked.

But the boy chuckled in a light-hearted way.

“I mean, why wouldn’t it be? People get jealous on the internet and people like Ijuin attack you guys. I used to think that it was natural for you guys to pay a ‘fame tax,’ but when I see guys who went to the same school as me having a tough time, I’m glad I’m an ordinary guy.”

—Ah, so that’s how it is.

“Me too, me too. I still think Okui-kun and Naimine-san are great, but if they are going to be criticized on the Internet, I feel bad for you guys now. Ah, I have had 10,000 followers since I enrolled in Inou Gakuen.”

To summarize everyone’s stories, it seemed that just attending Inou Gakuen attracted a certain amount of attention.

The number of followers and likes on social networking sites had doubled.

On the other hand, it seemed that we, the Big Four, were the ones getting the most criticism in the media.

It seemed that many people would rather be a minor celebrity who earned likes with minimal criticism than a star who received both acclaim and flames.

“But I still admire you guys. All I can do with my ability is generate a slight breeze.”

“I can only make a lighter flame at my fingertips.”

“I can only make people feel a chill.”

“I can only make my body glow faintly.”

“I can only reduce the gravity of what I touch by 0.1 percent.”

“I’m a nasal taser that conducts electricity to the tip of my nose.”

“Excuse me, Director Sayuri. Why did you call these six people?”

“Hmm? To test their abilities, you know? One day, something may trigger the awakening of their abilities, right? A nose stun gun might evolve into a thunderbolt from their nose.”

“Let’s just go with a full-body stun gun…….”

It was a bit funny, even though my shoulders slumped in disappointment.

Usually, people form friend groups and become estranged from other groups, even if they were in the same classroom, let alone the same school.

If they were in different grades or classes, they would no longer be students at the same school and would not interact with each other at all.

And yet, I couldn’t believe the environment in which I could naturally chat with my schoolmates, whose names I didn’t even know.

For a moment, I thought it was because I had become a famous person, but I guess not.

The students at Inou Gakuen were different from those at my old school.

They talked to me like this, but they did not persistently try to exchange contact information or ask me for money.

I guess they had acquired such common sense and decency that they only asked for contact information after getting to know each other to some extent, and that money was only for those who had earned it.

I had a cute girlfriend, good friends, schoolmates I could be comfortable with, and a boss who understood me.

When I was in elementary and junior high school, I pretended to be a soloist. But I would say that I felt much happier and more enjoying myself now.

“What’s wrong? You look pretty happy?”

“Yes, I am happier now than I was when I was alone. I’m really grateful to you for creating Inou Gakuen.”

Director Sayuri smiled like a teacher who was pleased with the growth of his students.

“That’s what growth is all about. But this is not the end. Your life is not over yet. From now on, you will advance to the second and third grades. Then you will go on to higher education or get a job, get married, and raise a happy family with a loving wife, children, a big white dog, and a mistress.”

“Did I just hear something else in the mix?”

“What, you’re a cat person? I’m a horse person, by the way.”

“That’s not it, but ethically, a mistress is o, ut, and…….”

Maria was staring at my face from the other side of the room across from Director Sayuri.

Maria’s eyes were wet.

Her eyes conveyed a complex mixture of fear and expectation.

A sense of guilt and a sense of duty fell on each of my shoulders, taking my breath away.

Then, under the suffocating pressure, I squeezed out the best I could.

“I-if my wife doesn’t say yes, then a mistress is out, right?”

“What’s wrong? Your Japanese is a little bit broken.”

“It’s not.”

On the other side of Director Sayuri’s office, the expressionless Maria looked somewhat relieved.

I sighed with relief.

By the way, how are Maria and Maya able to express their emotions without facial expressions?

Telepathy?

I joked around a bit and asked Maria to do me a naughty favor.

“Mmm, I felt the vibrations of eroticism from Honey-chan just now!”

“Honey, did you just look at Maria with naughty eyes?”

“You guys!”

“Okui Honey Ikuo, did I feel lust from you just now?”

“Director Sayuri is an adult. You can’t join in!”

I retorted sharply, taking into account the fact that the world’s first psychic was born 18 years ago.

And Maria blushed as she looked at the MR screen.

—Aahhhhhhhh! I had forgotten Maria’s abilityyyyyy!

***

After work that day.

As I took everyone back from the MIC, Kiriha’s voice came out in a hushed tone as she turned to Maria.

“Heey Maria, about yesterday, would you like to move into the room next door to ours? I’ve got permission from Director Sayuri.”

—Oi, oi, was that serious?

Just living together with Kiriha was enough to get me into mental trouble, but if Maria was added here, I would finally not be able to maintain my pride as a civilized person.

But, without any need for me to say no, Maria apologetically bowed her head.

“I’m sorry. I’m glad you invited me, but I can’t make the decision on my own. I need permission from my parents.”

“I see. Then, Honey, please take Maria home.”

—Huh? Does this mean that if her parents say yes, she’s going to live with us? As a mistress?

Anxiety swelled in my chest, and my heart was strained as if it were in a flat tire.

—No, it’s okay. Don’t worry, a girl like Maria who is too awesome, her parents must love her like a butterfly and a flower. Look at Maria’s soft-spoken dignity. Isn’t that proof that she has grown up with all the love of her parents? There is no way her parents would give up their daughter to a man like me, a man they don’t even know, much less as a mistress. I believe in the love between them.

“That’s right, let’s ask Maria’s parents.”

“Honey, you just had a big pause, didn’t you?”

“It was just your imagination!”

I made a powerful clenched fist.
