A few days had passed since that day when I caught a cold, and I was feeling much better. In addition to the nursing care I received from Reona and Riona, I also received a lot of help from Mio, and I am truly grateful to all three of them.
So today, I invited Reona and Riona to a sweets buffet in my neighborhood to thank them for their hospitality.
Incidentally, I also invited Mio, but she refused because she said she would not go with her seniors. So, I am planning to thank Mio in a different way.

“Even so, choosing a sweets buffet as a thank-you is a very good choice, Ryoya kun.”
“Both me and my sister like sweets, so I’m very happy.”

Reona had strawberry shortcake and chocolate ice cream, while Riona looked happy as she ate mango sherbet and Mitarashi dango.

“I’m glad you two are satisfied.”
“Actually, I’ve been wanting to go to a sweets buffet for a while.”
“Yeah, Ryoya invited us at a pretty nice time.”

I chose the sweets buffet for the very simple reason that girls like sweets, and it seems I was right.
Well, it turns out that I was right. I have a bit of a sweet tooth myself, so I wanted to go purely because I wanted to try it.
While we were chatting, the two of them were eating all kinds of sweets in the store. It is a wonder where their thin bodies are being sucked into.
I wonder if they might be able to conquer all the sweets in the store. While I was thinking about that, Reona opened her mouth.

“Speaking of which, Ryoya-kun, are you free this coming Saturday?”
“……Sorry, but I already have plans for that day.”

This Saturday I already have plans because I had promised to go to a summer festival with Mio for a long time, which is rare for me.

“Right, Ryoya-kun, so you don’t have any plans …… Eh, what did you just say?”
“Was it my imagination that I thought I heard you say you had plans?”

The girls reacted like that, like they couldn’t believe what I said. I think you’re making fun of me too much, no matter how much you want to.

“That’s why I said I have plans for this Saturday, it’s not because of Riona’s imagination.”
“Eh, Ryoya-kun has plans!?”
“I can’t believe it for a second. ……”
“No, no, you don’t have to be so surprised. As expected, even I, who is a loner, have plans.”

I couldn’t help but mumble to myself as I watched Reona and Riona’s expressions of surprise. Then the two of them stopped eating sweets and became very serious.

“By the way, Ryoya-kun, where and with whom are you planning to do what on Saturday?”
“Answer me honestly right now.”
“Eh, do I have to answer that much?”

I answered so suddenly and quickly. Then the air in the place became heavy at once.

“…… hmmm, Ryoya-kun is trying to hide something from me and Riona.”
“No way, is Ryoya going to do something that he can’t tell us?”

Until now, the pressure is so strong that I have never felt it before. It was like a frog being stared at by a snake.
I began to think that I might even be preyed upon by the girls, and I began to desperately push down my fear and tell them why.

“T-this Saturday, I have an appointment with Mio to go to a neighborhood summer festival.”
“Hee, I see… well……, we’ll go with you.”

Reona spoke to me in a strong tone as if I had no right of refusal. However, I can not accept it at all. Because Mio wants me to go to the summer festival alone with her.
And since I knew from her refusal to participate in the sweets buffet that Mio was one-sidedly hostile toward Reona and Riona, I had a feeling that there would be trouble even if we went to the summer festival together.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that. I’m sorry, but could you give up just this once?”
“Is Ryoya by any chance trying to disrespect us?”

The moment they heard the words that came out of my mouth, the temperature around this table obviously dropped even lower than before.

“No, I don’t intend to do that at all. ……”
“Then you don’t mind if me and Riona go with you, do you?”
“….Ah, okay, I get it”

I finally could not stand this atmosphere any longer and I allowed the girls to accompany me. I was sure that Mio was going to be pissed off, but there was no other way for me to save my life. I hope you will forgive me for being such a weak brother.

“I knew that Ryoya-kun would say so.”
“After all, there is no way Ryoya would betray us.”

The two of them were in a very good mood, which was a complete change from earlier. Needless to say, I was in an intensely depressed mood in response.
I honestly did not want to go home because just thinking about how to explain to Mio made me sick to my stomach. I wonder if I would be summoned to another world on my way home.
