Chapter 710 - 710: I Didn't Expect You to Be a Harem Protagonist!

Too lazy to argue with the noisy Kirino, Ichin brought Hinata and Tamaki, who weren't very good at swimming, into the pool and began helping them improve.

Kirino quickly followed and snatched Tamaki away from him.

"I'll teach her myself!"

On the shore, Utaha, who hadn't entered the water yet, looked at the commotion and smiled at Ruri beside her.

"Not going to accompany your sisters?"

Ruri shook her head with a smile.

"I'll let them play on their own. I haven't exercised much lately, so I need to warm up properly."

"Mmm, then I'll head in first."

Waving at Ruri, Utaha entered the water together with Yukino and Yamada Elf.

"Ahhh... the water feels so comfortable."

After entering the pool, Utaha slowly swam over to Ichin and hugged him from behind.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she looked at Hinata, who was diligently swimming with a float ring around her waist, and smiled.

"Come on, Hinata! If you can get rid of the float ring before noon, Big Sister Utaha will buy you whatever you want for lunch."

"Really?!"

Hearing that, Hinata instantly exploded with motivation and began paddling even faster.

Looking at Utaha hanging on him, Ichin laughed.

"There's no need to motivate her that much, is there?"

"Hehe, giving the little girl some motivation isn't a bad thing, right? Ichin, let's leave Hinata to practice by herself. Kirino's watching her anyway. Come on, let's go play volleyball."

And just like that, Ichin was dragged away by Utaha.

Seeing Ichin leave, Kirino became even happier.

With Ruri off playing elsewhere, didn't that mean both Hinata and Tamaki were now entirely under her care?

Kirino felt her little-sister-loving soul burning fiercely.

Pulled along by Utaha, Ichin arrived where Yukino and Yamada Elf were.

After hearing they were going to play volleyball, Hajime Shinoda and Kō Yagami also joined them.

With six people, they could form two teams of three.

Ichin's side consisted of Utaha and Yukino, while Yamada Elf teamed up with Hajime and Kō.

"Eh~~ I wanted to be on Ichin's team."

Swimming over, Kō patted Yamada Elf's head with a grin.

"What, are you planning to become the fourth person and join their family? You've got guts. I support you~~"

"Huh?"

Yamada Elf looked at Kō in confusion, not understanding what she meant.

At that moment, Hajime came over, wrapped an arm around Yamada Elf's shoulder, and pointed at Utaha and Yukino on the opposite side.

"Look carefully. This one is the first wife, and this one is the second wife. If you've got the courage, you can try becoming the third wife. Though you're only fifteen, so the age gap is a bit much."

"..."

After several seconds of silence, Yamada Elf gradually understood their meaning.

Especially when she saw that the three people opposite her showed no intention of denying anything and were calmly preparing the volleyball.

Her eyes widened.

"Eh? EHHHHHHHH?!!!"

Pointing at Ichin, Yamada Elf exclaimed in disbelief,

"Ichin, I never thought you were a harem protagonist!"

Catching the volleyball Utaha had tossed over, Ichin looked at the utterly shocked Yamada Elf.

"Don't your own novels have these kinds of plots? Why are you so surprised?"

"Novels and reality are different!"

"But novels are often even more unbelievable than reality, aren't they?"

Ichin shrugged.

"A lot of things can't be explained in just a sentence or two. Relax, alright?"

Yamada Elf opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

However, looking at the harmonious atmosphere among the three of them, she found herself unable to think of anything appropriate.

Maybe there really wasn't anything to say.

"Ugh... fine then. Let's start. Ichin, when we have lunch later, I'm definitely going to ask all about this!"

After the initial shock and confusion faded, what remained inside Yamada Elf was overwhelming curiosity.

She had written about these things in novels before, but those were still just stories.

Now that a real-life example had appeared right in front of her, how could she not become curious and gossip-hungry?

Ichin naturally had no objections.

After nodding, he took his position together with Utaha and Yukino, tossed the volleyball into the air, and gently served.

They had rented the pool for the entire day, until six in the evening.

However, the morning passed quickly.

After playing for nearly two hours, everyone left the pool, took showers, changed clothes, and headed out together for lunch.

For lunch, they chose a seafood restaurant nearby and reserved a large private room, enjoying a lively seafood feast together.

During the meal, Yamada Elf finally got her wish and learned a little about the relationship between the three of them from Utaha.

After the explanation, Ichin looked at the astonished Yamada Elf and said,

"Don't focus only on the three of us. There are plenty of other surprising things here too."

Following the direction Ichin pointed, Yamada Elf saw Umiko feeding Nene while Rin Toyama peeled shrimp for Kō.

She immediately understood and nodded excitedly.

"Ohhhh!!! Your group is amazing!"

At that moment, Hinata's voice rang out.

"Big Brother Ichin! Big Brother Ichin!"

Looking at him expectantly, Hinata asked,

"Since you already have two wives, how about adding one more? What do you think about Big Sister Ruri?"

"Eh?!"

Ruri, who had been happily enjoying her food, immediately widened her eyes and slapped a hand onto Hinata's head.

"What nonsense are you saying?!"

"Waaaah! Help!"

Grabbing Ruri's wrist, Hinata loudly protested,

"I'm not wrong! Big Sister, you've already graduated from university and still don't have a boyfriend. You don't even seem interested in dating. Are you planning to become an old maid? Big Brother Ichin, my Big Sister Ruri is amazing! She can make clothes herself, she's great at cooking and housework too! Won't you consider it?"

Before she could continue, Ruri picked up several pieces of sushi from the table and stuffed three of them into Hinata's mouth in succession, completely robbing her of the ability to speak.

All that remained were muffled noises.

However, after dealing with her younger sister, Ruri met the gazes of everyone around the table.

Resting a hand on her chin, Aoba said with interest,

"Ruri, Hinata isn't wrong, you know~~ Do your best!"

"Why are all of you like this?!!!"

Ruri's face turned bright red as she desperately tried to explain herself.

At that moment, Tamaki, who had remained quiet the entire time, raised her hand and said with a smile,

"If Big Sister doesn't want the opportunity, then give it to me instead. Tamaki would really like a boyfriend like Big Brother Ichin."

"..."

Ruri suddenly felt her blood pressure rising.

She truly had no way to deal with these two younger sisters anymore.
