After arriving at the house, we immediately checked the layout.

Kiyotaka, Shirou, Yuki: "So this is our house."

Yuki: "It’s pretty big!"

Kiyotaka: "Cleaning it is going to be a pain."

Yuki: "Hey! Don’t say such realistic things~"

Shirou: "Honestly, even with this many rooms, I feel like we won’t use most of them."

Yuki: "Even you too, Shirou~"

Kiyotaka: "For now, let’s put our things down and then decide the room assignments."

Yuki: "But it’s not like we have much luggage anyway."

Kiyotaka: "That’s true. Then let’s decide right away."

Yuki: "Yeah!"

Kiyotaka: "The living room and dining room are as you can see. As for personal rooms, I want to assign ones that have locks. And there are three rooms with locks. One is the largest room that’s a bit separated, and the other two are next to each other near the dining room."

Shirou: "How do we decide?"

Yuki: "Rock-paper-scissors should be fine, right?"

Kiyotaka: "Yeah."

'There’s no reading each other between the three of us. Guess I’ll have to win with luck.'

Kiyotaka, Yuki, Shirou: "Rock, paper, scissors!"

Yuki and I threw rock, and Shirou threw paper.

Shirou: "Alright, I win! Then I’ll take the biggest room!"

Yuki: "Ah, I lost~ That’s frustrating~” 'But I’ll be next to Kiyotaka~’

Kiyotaka: "Can’t be helped." 'I lost, but just as expected, Shirou chose the large room. That means I’ll be next to Yuki.'

Kiyotaka: "They’re basically the same, but which room do you want, Yuki? I don’t have a preference."

Yuki: "Then I’ll take the one closer to the dining room."

Kiyotaka: "Got it. Then let’s each relax for now."

Shirou: "Wait a second, what about dinner?"

Kiyotaka: "It’s the first day after moving and we’re tired, so Uber Eats should be fine."

Shirou: "Alright. Let’s talk about chore assignments while we eat."

And with that, we each went into our rooms.

* * *

~During dinner that day~

Fried chicken and pizza were lined up on the table, and we each ate as we pleased.

Shirou: "About the chores, we can either split cleaning, laundry, and cooking and rotate them, or one person handles all chores for a day and we assign days of the week. I think one of those is best."

Yuki: "I think splitting them is better. It reduces the burden each time."

Kiyotaka: "I’m in favor of one person doing everything. It’s good experience to understand the hardship of living alone, and it gives you more free days."

Yuki: "Hmm, but I think there’s value in doing things every day too, so I’m still for splitting."

Shirou: "Both arguments make sense, so decide with rock-paper-scissors."

Kiyotaka, Yuki: "Rock, paper, scissors!"

I threw scissors, and Yuki threw paper.

Kiyotaka: "I win."

Yuki: "Well, I did understand your reasoning, so I guess it’s fine."

Shirou: "Then let’s decide the days. Monday and Thursday, Tuesday and Friday, Wednesday and Saturday, and Sunday will either be volunteered or decided by rock-paper-scissors on the day. How about that?"

Yuki: "Agreed."

Kiyotaka: "Same."

Shirou: "Alright, let’s hear preferences. Kiyotaka first."

Kiyotaka: "I’ll take Tuesday and Friday."

Shirou: "Yuki?"

Yuki: "Wednesday and Saturday, I guess."

Shirou: "I want Tuesday and Friday, so Yuki is decided, and it’s rock-paper-scissors between me and Kiyotaka."

Kiyotaka, Shirou: "Rock, paper, scissors!"

I threw paper, and Shirou threw scissors.

Shirou: "Alright, that settles it."

Kiyotaka: "...Can’t be helped."

Yuki: "Let’s do our best starting tomorrow!"

And just like that, dinner time passed.

* * *

After that, the three of us spent time playing board games and video games, and then we each went back to our rooms, but that’s when Yuki called out to me.

Yuki: "K-Kiyotaka, I want to talk a bit after this, can I come to your room?"

Kiyotaka: "Yeah, sure."

Yuki: "Thanks."

'I was planning to talk at some point anyway, so it’s good that she came to me.'

After returning to my room and some time passed, I heard a knock.

Yuki: "Kiyotaka, can I come in?"

Kiyotaka: "Yeah, come in."

Yuki entered the room wearing cute pajamas.

Kiyotaka: "Those pajamas suit you."

Yuki: "R-Really?"

Kiyotaka: "Yeah, they’re cute and fit your vibe perfectly."

Yuki: "Ehehe… So, about what I wanted to talk about…"

Kiyotaka: "Yeah."

Yuki: "We’re free now, right?"

Kiyotaka: "Yeah."

Yuki: "So, I thought I don’t need to hold back these feelings anymore."

Kiyotaka: "What kind of feelings?"

Yuki: "Come on, figure it out."

Kiyotaka: "Sorry."

Yuki: "But I’ll tell you anyway. I like you, Kiyotaka. And I mean romantically. I didn’t understand these feelings before, but now I do. I’ve always liked you."

Kiyotaka: "I like you too, Yuki. I’ll never let you go."

When I said that and hugged her, she seemed tense at first, but gradually relaxed into me.

Kiyotaka: "Hey, Yuki."

Yuki: "What is it?"

Kiyotaka: "Do you remember the promise from when we were 7?"

Yuki: "You mean the one where I’d grant any wish?"

Kiyotaka: "I want to use that now."

Yuki: "W-Wait."

Kiyotaka: "Is that not okay?"

Yuki: "I-I mean, I’m not prepared at all."

Kiyotaka: "Prepared?"

Yuki: "Well yeah. That means you want to do that kind of thing, right?"

Kiyotaka: "…"

Yuki: "…"

'I was the one who said it in a suggestive way, but I didn’t expect her to misunderstand this much.'

Kiyotaka: "That’s a misunderstanding."

Yuki: "Eh?"

Kiyotaka: "I am interested in that kind of thing, but it’s not something I wanted to do right now."

Yuki: "I-I see…"

Kiyotaka: "Sorry for saying it in a way that caused misunderstanding."

Yuki: "I-I see. So what’s your wish?"

Yuki, her face bright red, tried to steer the conversation back.

Kiyotaka: "My wish is…"

Yuki: "Your wish is?"

Kiyotaka: "In the future, I want you to accept and support me having relationships and marriage with multiple women."

Yuki: "Eh…"

Kiyotaka: "…"

Silence filled the space between us.

'I’m getting quite the cold stare. Even if she said she wasn’t prepared, she probably had some expectations. I already learned in my first life that when expectations are raised and then dropped, the emotional gap becomes huge…'

Yuki: "I didn’t mishear that, right?"

Kiyotaka: "Yeah."

Yuki: "Haaah~ I got my hopes up a bit."

Kiyotaka: "So you did have expectations."

Yuki: "Ah, forget what I just said."

Kiyotaka: "That’s not possible."

Yuki: "Jeez, fine, I’ll grant your wish~"

Kiyotaka: "Alright, thanks."

Yuki: "But is marrying multiple people even allowed?"

Kiyotaka: "Yeah, I have a way to make it work."

Yuki: "I guess I have no choice. Even if you get other girls, don’t treat me poorly."

Kiyotaka: "Of course. I promise."

Yuki: "You’ll start increasing girls from high school, right? So…"

Kiyotaka: "So?"

Yuki: "Until then, you have to only look at me!"

Kiyotaka: "I’ll give you my all."

Saying that, I hugged Yuki and fell onto the bed.

Even though she looked embarrassed, she asked, "Can I sleep like this today?"

Kiyotaka: "Of course."

Yuki: "I’m not ready yet, but this much is fine, right?" chu

I was surprised, but immediately said, "Then it’s fine if I do it too, right?" and kissed her. Yuki in my arms had a happy expression.

Yuki: "Good night, Kiyotaka."

Kiyotaka: "Good night, Yuki."

And just like that, our first free night came to an end.

Bonus
~The next morning~
Shirou POV

'They’re both late. It’s Yuki’s turn today…'

Thinking that, I knocked on Yuki’s door, but there was no response.

'Hm? It’s not locked.'

Shirou: "Yuki, I’m coming in."

I opened the door, but no one was there.

'No way, Kiyotaka’s room!?'

I knocked on his door too, but there was no response. However, this one was locked.

'Those two did it, huh…'
