Chapter 52: The Takamine Sisters.

(Hina POV)

"My first girlfriend is my mother, Hana Tsukishiro."

Andy's confession repeated in my head.

The ridiculous reveal that he's genetically compatible to reproduce with his own mother is exactly that.

Ridiculous beyond comprehension.

'It's like something out of a novel... No. Scratch that. I'm almost certain I read that exact plot in a novel somewhere. Mom-son incest is a pretty common trope after all.' 

That particular thought somehow lessens the shock of it all.

'Yeah. If I think of Andy as the protagonist of a reverse harem manga, then it all makes sense.'

Viewing my memories with Andy in that newfound light gives me the feeling of being enlightened.

Like I've comprehended the essence of this world.

'Thank goodness I'm a love interest then. If I was a mob character, then I'd...'

'..... Maybe I actually was a mob character. But that changed once I became Andy's first client.'

'Wait.'

I stand in place. Stopping right outside my house.

'Doesn't that...'

My lips curl into a grin.

"Heh... Heheh... Heheheheh..." 

An unflattering laugh escapes me.

'Doesn't that make me a main character?! Me! A main character!'

"Heheheheh!"

"Dad, that lady is laughing funny!"

"Don't make eye contact with her, sweetie!"

Too caught up in her own thoughts, Hina didn't notice the father and son spot her laughing like a maniac as they pass by.

Shortly after, the front door opened from the inside. 

The culprit being my little sister, Akari. Staring at me with those uninterested eyes of hers.

"O-Oh. Hey there, Akari."  I say, forcing a smile on my face. Hoping she didn't see me acting weird just now.

"Stop laughing like a weirdo and get inside before someone reports you."

'Fuck. She saw that.'

Stepping inside, I close the door behind me. Then just like always, I begin to take off my heels and change into slippers.

And oddly enough, Akari didn't leave. Instead opting to watch me change my footwear.

"..... Did you go to Andy's place?"

"Huh?"

The sudden question caught me off guard.

I look up and see Akari's usual indifferent gaze.

But I could sense something was off.

'Is Akari... jealous?'

For a second the idea seemed foreign to me. 

Akari, that seriously diligent sister of mine being jealous of me?

But then I remembered the time I came home from my first date with Andy.

How she begged me to introduce her to him.

'Mom and Akari gave up pestering me the next day though.'

Recalling that memory, it became clear to me that Akari really is jealous of me right now.

'I'm honestly surprised she hasn't found someone, yet'

"Yeah. My boyfie wanted to talk to me about our future."  I say with a subtle smirk on my lips.

At my reply, Akari flinched for what seemed like half a second.

"..... I see."  she muttered.

Turning heel, she walked away without another word.

'....? That's it..?'

Surprising as it is, Akari didn't ask any more questions. Just went and left. 

'Well, this is hardly the first time she's done as she pleased.'

After putting on my slippers, I went to my room and closed the door.

Without so much as taking off my top, I spread my arms and fall back-first onto bed.

The mattress dipping slightly beneath me.

Closing my eyes, I recall the rest of my conversation with Andy.

"!? That's- um... F-Fine! I'll let you do it, but let me prepare first. I heard that place can tear and bleed without prior training..."

Andy, though very flustered, accepted my second request without issue.

"To think Andy agreed to it... He really is different from other guys."  I muttered to myself, staring at my ceiling.

"Ahhhh I can't wait to peg Andyyyy."

(A.T.)

[I'm sorry, but let's not contact each other anymore unless it's related to the case.]

[What happened between us was a mutual lapse in judgement. Let's pretend it never happened.]

[I'm incredibly sorry for the trouble I've caused you, officer.]

'Officer... He didn't use my name...'  Akari thought, staring at Andy's LINE messages.

'Even though he called my name so sweetly that time...'

Following that thought, Akari recalled the tryst she had with Andy, her big sister's boyfriend.

How he grabbed her wrist and begged for release.

How hot his body was under her.

How his cock filled her most intimate place.

How he took her first time.

And how incredible sex with him was.

"No." Akari muttered to herself.

Placing her phone on a nightstand, she fell back-first onto bed.

Akari laid still for a number of breaths. Simply staring at the ceiling.

Her hands travel up. Sliding under her glasses.

"I'm so stupid..." She mutters to herself.

Her hands go further up. Pushing her glasses past her head and onto the mattress.

"I did it with a man who was drugged... As an officer, I should've been the first one to say no..."

Her hands curl into tight fists.

"Yet I went and did it with a man who wasn't my boyfriend."

Akari pulls her fists away. Resting them at her sides.

"I should be glad he didn't report me... I would have gotten suspended at the very least."

[Let's pretend it never happened.]

"......."

Akari sat up. Sitting on the edge of her bed.

"..... Yeah... I should just pretend that never happened."

"That... would be the best for everyone..."
