Work Text:
In a garden house met a gentle giant of a girl, and a generally grinning gal. The two didn't have too much in common: not very chatty..the same boyfriend..but the point that connected them today was the boyfriend's first girlfriend/s.
Hakari and Karane were a Thing. Their first kiss to their boyfriend were also the first kiss to each other, and they just kept on kissing, until finally they came to date.
Before that however, Karane had started dating Ahko, the chillest gal in the world..who at this moment was being picked up by the gigantic Yamame (hot, actually) and being shaken every which way.
"HAKARI JUST ASKED ME TO BE HER GIRLFRIEND AND I'M FREAKING OUT"
It was a beautiful day to be a plant
The sun was shining, the rain was manageable (and coming from a tin can with a spout), and the hills were alive with the sound of Yamame, singing lovingly to all living beings, aye.
As it was becoming more common, she was accompanied by a pink haired girl, though today she was quite closer to her as she worked.
"Growing some daikons here just for Momoha, she's been a real help lately, and keeps telling me to 'go get it gorl', and ah dunno what that is but ah appreciate 'er"
Hakari blushed at that.
"Oop, weed again!! Don't worry, I got'er"
She pulled with a softness that would fit a smaller woman, but was unnecessary. Her body was as big as her heart meritted.
She moved the weed to the weed garden, and Hakari smiled.
"You truly find beauty in all living things, don't you Yamame?"
"Ah do!! Life is beautiful in ALL it's shapes and forms!"
"Hmm, hmm..am I included in that?"
Yamame leaned her head, confused.
"Eh? 'Course ya do. Yer gorgeous and clever. And determined, clever, bold, and-"
With every compliment Hakari's face got redder and redder, until she had to put her hands on Yamame's cheeks.
"Bwuh?"
"You are KILLING me Yamame. Killing me with kindness. Death of a thousand compliments. You say I'm bold, and determined? Okay then."
Hakari pulled down, feeling as though a devil pulling an angel down...but she'd offer her a thousand pleasures if it meant having her eyes on her still.
"Yamame Yasashiki, will you go out with me as my girlfriend?"
Now it was Yamame's turn for her face to go flush, falling to her knees.
"Wh-hw-hwhww-"
Hakari's confidence lost some steam.
"I mean if you don't want to-"
"AH DO"
Yamame stood, holding Hakari by her arms as she went up, and keeping her face to face.
"AH DO! AH THINK YER EVERYTHING I SAID AND WOULD LOVE TO GO OUT WITH YE. Just...do ya really want me?"
Hakari cooed, putting a hand to her face.
"Yamame. You, are beautiful. You're a gorgeous goddess, with a beautiful body, a beautiful heart, and a beautiful voice, that you use to say equally beautiful things. I'm afraid I'm too tainted for your beauty, but I still want you. You're wantable, Yamame. Let me show you so?"
Yamame did not trust herself to speak, so she did not. She just nodded, steaming from the shyness.
"Alright!! I have to go gush to Karane about this, and help Mei do it with Mother, can we set up through messages later?"
"S-sure."
"Thanks babe~"
And at that, she winked, and sashayed away, practiced, cunningly. And while someone unaware might be weak and someone aware might scrutinize...Yamame couldn't help but admire the dedication Hakari had to 'effortless' sexiness balanced with elegance. And down on her knees she went again, silently.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-"
Then not so much.
She needed help.
So she called the other gal that wrangled the halves of Hakarane.
"And now yer here. Ah can't do this alone! Hakari is so pretty and clever and fancy-like! She's a whole woman I cannot handle!
Ahko retained her grin, and patted her fellow girlfriend on the back
"There there, you tooooottally got this. She wants you, so like, what's to worry? Yamame she wants, Yamame she'll get."
"But ah wanna survive her moves!! You know what she does to get some mwehehe with Rentarou, and now her eyes are on me too! Oh GOD I don't know how to mwehehe her!! I need to ask Momoha for tips?"
"Momoha's got no sex-p though, I got more than her.."
Yamame's eyes glimmered in admiration.
"Double date!! You and Karane and me and Hakari!"
Now, Ahko could've told Yamame that she didn't wanna be a clam jammer, that they should let their own moment be special..but quite frankly, shit was getting real poly in the family, and she was getting a chance to spend time with her girlfriend, and see her get messed with by Hakari, Experienced Karane Teaser.
"Deal!!"
OOO
Aptly, when Hakari said she was going to go gush at Karane, that was half a lie. She did!
"She was so pretty Karane!! And she picked me up!! She's so stroooong!!!<3"
And then she panicked.
"I CAN'T HANDLE THAT MUCH WOMAN. AND SHE'S SO WHOLESOME TOO. I don't wanna scare her off with mwehehe, I want to work up until she feels comfy to mwehehe!!"
Karane rolled her eyes, fondly more than annoyed.
"Well that sure didn't stop us from making the fuck out as kiss zombies"
"OUR FIRST KISS WAS WHEN I ASKED YOU ON A DATE"
Karane patted her girlfriend's head condescendingly.
Hakari however looked at the hand petting her thoughtfully.
"Maybe you could help me out?"
"I'm not a clamjammer!!"
"But I need you to be! Just..do something to unhornify me if I get like that."
Honestly, Karane had not spent enough time with Yamame. That wasn't right, Yamame ruled. She was strong and sweet and tall as shit.
"Aight but I don't wanna just be a third wheel. How about a double date?"
Hakari fisted her palm.
"That works! Honestly, I should spend more time with my girlfriend's girlfriend. Surprisingly well thought out Karane."
Karane did a (lightweight) version of the Boston Karane onto Hakari, which..prompted a moan out of her. She remembered then that she had told Mai that, pretty much only Hakari's nose was a non erogenous zone. This was gonna be messy.
>>>
ProjectAhko: So like, how's about we do a double date? Me and Karane, Yamame and Hakari?
Karapult: I was just coming to suggest that, dang.
ProjectAhko: We're just that in sync, babe
Karapult: IT'S NOT LIKE THAT MAKES ME BLUSH OR ANYTHING
Hurlkari: It is, actually, don't let her lie to you like a liar
Yamamama: What kinda date? We're all very different gals
Even between the two gal gals
Hurlkari: How about just an adventure outing? We go, walk around, and do what we find interesting?
Yamamama: Casual!! Like it. If you get tired I'll make sure to carry you!
Hurlkari: ow ow i sprained my ankle
Yamamama: We haven't even started!
Karapult: Don't let her lie to you like a liar.
Hurlkari: It was nostalgic don't lie.
>>>
Of course, nothing really is private in the Rentarou Family. Hakari had to unveil she was leaving for a date after all, and Ahko was not one for secrecy. For their protection, they would ensure they had a great double date!!
So as they all left the school together (kindly sent out with warnings not to behave foolishly by the school's guidance counselor Morikita), the rest of the family followed. Of course, being that it was an adventure sort of date, and that it was the Rentarou Family...they mostly did their own thing and barely kept an eye on them. But they sure tried!
Startingly, Yamame had taken them to a small market full of vegetables and old people selling.
"I gotta stop for some seedlings at the farmer's market. They close up early, is that aight?", Yamame asked the other three girls.
"I-it's not like I wanna get some myself!!", Karane tsundere'd
"Oh it's little Karane!! Are you here for some more quality veggies, dear?", an old woman asked.
"GIMME THAT", Karane demanded, grabbing the bag she had been given and paying just a bit more than they cost. As she usually did.
"And you're with Yamame! Are you two friends?"
The others were very wary of saying too much. Karane?
"I-IT'S NOT LIKE I'M DATING THE SAME GIRL AS SHE IS AND I BROUGHT MY OTHER GIRLFRIEND TOO!!"
"Oh well that's nice, is that them? Come here dearies, no need to be shy, I had a wife for the longest time...she's still around, he's just sometimes my husband...hmm, it seems both girls you date are rather pink."
Ahko and Hakari looked at each other, and giggled in realization. Looks like Karane had a type too.
Yamame was touched.
"Ya know these folks too, Karane?"
"IT'S NOT LIKE I'VE COME HERE FOR SHOPPING SINCE I WAS A KID AND THEY ALL KNOW ME"
"Oh so yer the tiny golden demon they talk about!!"
Hakari wisely foresaw and held her gf by her arms. Really, Karane could wreck her if she wanted, but she always let herself be stopped by Hakari. She looked at both her gfs being so beloved by the community.
‘I'm so wet<3’
To further Hakari’s adoration, her girlfriends proceeded to easily carry every bag of food they bought, with barely any strain. They were both so strong..
"Nice ta know yer a fellow market gal, Karane! Really, nice of ya."
Karane huffed.
"Idiot, everyone knows these people have the best stuff and customer service..it’s just a shame they don’t get enough people visiting to make ends meet..and of course, they won’t charge more, because that’s not good service!"
Ahko smiled gently at her.
"Is that why you overpaid, Karanene? You’re so nice babe"
Karane of course flushed, and made angry noises of evasion.
By the end of the trip, both their arms were in full use.
"We might hafta leave these at home...just another stop!!"
Hakari shook her head however.
"Don’t worry, leave them in this bench, I’ll call Mei to pick them up. You know she’ll be here faster than they can be stolen."
The girls nodded, Mei WAS dedicated after all. They left them there, and went away to help vendors and get free samples.
Hakari sent a text to Mei, and turned around and left. She didn’t have to watch over them at all, really...
!!!
As Mei walked in right there, from barely two meters off. She held the bags (tsundere or big body powers were no match for her dedication to the Hanazono family), and also made sure to send a message to Hahari about strategies to make sure the farmer’s market community could continue on without losing their touch. Hakari was truly so kind to ask (even if biased, to retain her girlfriends’ favorite shopping place).
Mai however pouted at pointing this bias
"Both of Hakari's girlfriends attended this market. It must've been fate!! And so it is fate’s hand through Hakari’s that the market remains! It’s so much like a romance novel!"
Her sister was such a romantic. Too bad her approach and targets were...
"PWEASE ONE MORE TRYYYY"
Momoha wept on the floor clinging to a man holding lottery tickets.
"I'M CUTTING YOU OFF"
"NUUUUUU"
Momoha left there and clung to Mai.
"Pwease lend big sis moneyyy"
"YOU’RE RUINING THE ROMANTIC MOOD. ALSO, YOU’RE NOT MY BIG SISTER"
Nearby, out of the romantic mood, Yaku stood, with her granddaughter, Naddy, and Saki (her lackey). Her face was as ever, closed eyes, serene smile, yet a tension crossed between her and the old woman on the other side of the counter. Despite her childish body, the woman was the same height as her
"Yaku"
"Ku Lon"
"Still looking like a toddler I see"
"Still looking like the victim of gravity, I see"
They continued their glare off, Saki grinning.
"So this is how the elders squabble, amazing!!"
"I reckon they gotta be old love rivals, or old flames, ya hear!!"
Yaku chuckled
"Both, yes. And wartime enemies, but that’s in the past."
Kusuri thought the situation through carefully.
"So, should I offer some druggy-wuggies for her business or not?"
Ku Lon groaned.
"What is it with redheaded kids and dangerous fluids I swear.."
But this was not the day to show their tale of love and war. Another time...
It was a classic for folks to go watch a movie during a date, but before the cinema, there was a mall. And Ahko, the collector, could not resist the beck and call of fashion and accesorizing.
"Like, we're on a date, we should look our best. We're pretty close, but we can do more. Can I dress you all up?"
"IT'S NOT LIKE I'M USED TO IT OR ANYTHING"
"Sure!", Hakari agreed normally.
Yamame seemed to struggle.
"Ah..think ah gotta step back. Ain't clothing that can fit me or ah can rock."
Ahko's face...shifted. Her eyebrows got angry and her eyes stayed open.
"Challenge accepted"
Ahko pushed Yamame into the store (well, fine, Karane did most of the pushing), and Hakari followed.
Ahko knew the right store to buy clothing of any size, any style, any need. And Hakari had a need too, as she approached the girl at the register while the others picked up stuff, and slammed a wad of yen down on the table.
"I will pay you, individually, all this if you keep giving me new panties each time I ask for it, and let me swap in the store. And then I’ll buy those too."
The underpaid worker could only nod dumbly, not understanding what even was this. Rich people business, probably.
The following moments would be forever known as "the drippening of Yamakari"
Yamame stepped out from inside the changing room, many times over
She wore a suit. She wore a tracksuit. She wore a goth/punk fit. Sundress and sunhat. Biker Jacket. Maid Cafe outfit. H8tters outfit.
By the time she was done, she had tried on about 28 outfits, and Hakari had drenched her panties to the point of needing a change about 12 times. Ultimately, unsurprisingly, the more cottage-core and colorful looks were what Yamame kept.
She sniffled to herself.
"Aye, thanks all ya’ll. Ah was always afraid to experiment, be made fun off..or break the clothes."
Ahko patted her back.
"It’s okay, Yamame. Clothes aren’t living things after all. And neither are, like, sexist jerks that think tall girls bad. Hakari liked it, and that’s all that mattered."
Yamame allowed herself some pride, as Hakari’s face of melting pleasure at seeing her in each outfit made her get more and more confidence. It really was very lucky no one had come in to make fun of her.
...Except it wasn’t luck, as Hakari had to pay the worker too to shush as Karane broke the bodies of anyone approaching with a cruel look in their face.
!!!
And just nearby, from behind some racks, Usa-chan, Rin and Meru (huddled inside a ring of clothing) looked over the girls, with another pile of broken fools laid by Eira and Kishika. Iku was also lying on the ground, having asked the two to kick her ass and happily fulfilled.
"You’re amazing, Eira-chan!!", gushed Usa-chan.
"Molto, MOLTO!! Bravissimo, Kishika, Eira. You wield violence towards great reasons", praised Rin
"zzzzz", snored Meru laying her head over Rin’s, but she nodded.
Eira beamed at the girls, the sweethearts they were.
"Ah, it's no big deal, it was just important, you know? I mean, you can't take out low self-worth with a kick, but you can definitely kick those who bring it down!"
Kishika smiled.
"Well said, Eira. And to protect a fellow member’s joy with such determination is quite chivalrous. Now, let us resume our previous activities." Kishika turned towards a clothing rack, inspecting it before pulling out an article. "How about this dress?"
Eira blushed at the offered clothing.
"Oh, uh, I don't know if that's... really my style."
"Eira, you were constantly looking at this one during the struggle. It’s all right to want it. You may even impress a certain beautiful individual Meme informed us you pampered..."
Eira flushed.
"I-no I just wanted to treat my kouhai, you know?"
Usa-chan chimed in helpfully.
"It’s okay Eira, I love Mimimi too!! And Meru and Yaku and-"
Her head was then patted into silence by a sleeping Nemu, with Eira grumbling.
"Fine, but if I wear it, I get to headpat you. You’re literally salivating at Usa-chan right now."
Kishika touched her finger to her lip, and grunted.
"Kill me!!"
"If I get what I enjoy, so do you."
"..please be gentle, I’m not Iku."
Iku pouted.
"I mean that with love, of course." Kishika reassured Iku. "Wait, why didn't you enjoy that insult?"
"That insult was like a weak attack. Like how being poked doesn't hurt. But, I think we're a lot alike! I enjoy our morning runs!"
Kishika would have replied but she was too busy being headpat.
"Boo?"
"Yeah! You’re a good partner."
So Iku joined in the patting, happy to spoil Kishika.
"Elle, Le Gant Rest, Au Rent" was the newest, fanciest restaurant in town, highly exclusive, highly private. So naturally, the Hanazonos had it locked in and Hakari could simply walk in, ask for a table, and get her girlfriends (plus Ahko) seated.
The menu, according to Ahko, came in strange hieroglyphs (it was french. She also had dyslexia, but that was secondary).
"Ugh, Hakari, translate for us?"
Hakari pointed at items and translated, from french to japanese to japanese for not rich people (and then for english, for you fanfic readers).
"Alright then, I want this fried chicken cutlet that isn’t called that."
"And ah want a steak!"
All looked oddly at Yamame.
"Would’ve thought you’d like, get a salad. Like, ain’t the cow the steak came from a living being, Yamama?"
"So are veggies, Ahko."
They all nodded.
"Liiike, can I skip to the dessert? I need some energy to stay awake through the movie.."
Hakari put on a face quite familiar for those present in manga volume three.
"With the power of money, anything is possible."
"Yeeey"
"And lastly..I’ll have a salad, myself"
Her stomach grumbled, and Hakari flushed.
Ahko focused best as she could on her.
"‘Karii...you’re hungry, you gotta eat."
"..N-no, I think I will be well. I have to lose some weight, don’t I?"
Ahko placed her hand over Hakari’s.
"Do ya? Cause, way I see it, you got a giant gf and you love every inch. And Karanene won’t stop ogling your tiddies and thighs-"
"IT’S ENVY, WAIT NO I’M NOT ENVIOUS I’M BI, WAIT NO I’M-"
"You don’t gotta watch your figure too hard ‘Kari. You got amazing partners that’ll watch it real close, with the most loving eyes in the world."
Hakari actually flushed deeper. Ahko was so smooth!! Was this the power of a gyaru??
(Asides her, her actual gyaru girlfriend spoke in circles, stuck in a tsun cycle)
"I suppose..dates are for breaking new grounds. Thank you Ahko."
Ahko nodded.
"For reals babe..I gotta watch what I eat too, y’know? Blood pressure mad bad. I just don’t like...people holding back by themselves where I can’t eat whatever. Be free, go nuts, eat pussy, yknow?"
Yamame blushed and hid behind her menu.
"Ah don’t think das an expression."
Ahko tilted her head confused, and Hakari giggled.
"We do have one thing in our diets in common: Karane."
She raised her hand, and slowly, Ahko high fived her.
"Yeyyy."
"Perhaps, today, we could all have one big meal together?"
Ahko..beamed as much more as she could.
"I’d like that, ‘Kari"
And so, a pizza was ordered, for them to share.
!!!
Just as Hakari had simply waltzed in like she owned the place, Hahari also easily walked in, on the administration side of it, and promptly proceeded to buy and own the place.
She introduced herself to the staff.
"I ask this only for today: let my precious girls here take up positions. Consider it apprenticeship.
Tomorrow, you may return to normal. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m taking over your security room to spy~", and she dashed away drooling.
Chiyo introduced herself to the cooks.
"Uhm, we’re sorry for the intrusion!! We’ll do our best to not trouble you!"
Matsuri put an arm around her shoulder.
"We just kids mates, we gonna stay out of your hair!"
Five minutes later they’d be proven liars.
"THIS STEW IS SO DRY! THE NOODLES ARE STILL BRITTLE GRR!"
"THIS CHICKEN MOISTER THAN HAHARI’S MOUTH YOU WOT"
"ORGANIZE YOUR UTENSILS, ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES!!"
"YOU CALL IT SPICE?? THIS WHY YOUR WIFE LEFT YOU YA DAFT SOD"
That last one got the head chef in fetal position, whimpering ‘how did you know’.
Matsuri turned to the dynamic sense duo, Momirumi.
"Oi, how the pizza the girls ordered going, mates?"
Momiji looked at the dough breasts she had molded, and placed her head on.
"Soft"
Kurumi looked down in shame, mouth surrounded by sauce and cheese.
"Tasty?"
On the other end, Chiyo was dressing up the family pets.
"Don’t interact directly with the girls! Just keep an eye out on the frontlines! Good service! Smile, remember their order, come and go as soon as possible!"
The two girls nodded and went to work. Of course, being that they were the two of these...
"Honk shooooo"
"Help, this waitress fell asleep at my table!!"
Tama and work didn’t mix.
"SNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFF"
"HELP MY WAITRESS IS SNIFFING MY WIFE"
And Hasuha was too distracted smelling to focus on orders.
Before Chiyo could complain, Hahari came out of the security room, screeching.
"Fire!! The computers are on fire!!"
"Did you drool on the electric plugs??", Chiyo asked frustrated.
"How did you know?"
This was her family.. and she loved them truly.
Hakari and Karane stood outside the movies, faces fully red. They definitely remembered the last time they were in this cinema.
"Baaabe, you’re flushing madly. You tooo ‘kari, wassup?"
"IT-IT’S NOT LIKE WE MADE OUT HERE TO AVOID INTERRUPTING NEMU AND RIN’S DATE!!"
At this point Hakari had thoroughly given up on the idea of any Hakarane events staying between them, so she just sighed and patted Karane’s back.
They looked at the posters of the movies presented. If one thought it difficult to pick a movie between two people on a date, they’ve no idea how hard it is for four.
Hakari wanted Drama or Comedy. Ahko wanted Comedy or Action. Karane wanted Action. Yamame wanted Drama. No one wanted Horror. Finally, they settled on a cheesy romantic movie, as three of them wanted. And Karane?
"HMMPH!! I-IT’S NOT LIKE I WANT TO SEE SOME ROMANCE TO MOTIVATE THIS DATE OR ANYTHING!!"
They took to the ticket booth, only to receive some bad news, Yamame shared with them.
"Uh, there aren’t four seats together left open, only three’s and two’s. Am sorry, we might’ve to split..."
They all looked at each other sadly. They really were enjoying sharing the date beyond just "two couples hanging out."
(Being fair, it was technically three couples).
Then Ahko had a wonderful idea.
OOO
Hakari vibrated in her seat, and drooled. She had the best seat in the house...in Yamame’s lap. Oh those were her arms wrapping around her, GODS they were big and strong ngggh.
Yamame whispered by her ear.
"Ya good, Hakari?"
She squeaked and nodded.
"Good, glad..I kinda like having ye in my lap. We should do this even when there’s space!"
She had said it so lovingly and wholesomely but oh god Hakari would die of horni. She could not nod fast enough.
At the side of Yamame was Karane, so she could hold her girlfriend’s hand too, and then to her other side
Ahko, laying her head on Karane’s shoulder.
"This is nice Karane...think we can do more dates with more girls?"
Karane raised an eyebrow.
"Ehh sure? But I don’t got anyone I wanna date beyond you, Rentarou, and Hakari. You?"
Ahko shyly nodded. Karane huffed, and wrapped her arm around her shoulders, making Ahko blush.
"I-it’s not like I thought I got used to it but actually enjoy the groups too. Whatever, who’s it?"
"...Suu, and Uto. They’re cute."
"Gotcha. Next time, b-babe."
Ahko giggled happily, snuggling against her girlfriend, who was definitely absolutely completely NOT crying over the lovers reuniting, while Hakari melted in her own girlfriend’s lap.
!!!
Just a few rows behind, the very girls to be invited soon observed, with Suu yawning. Watching Ahko be cute was the only entertainment.
"Can’t we get back to the entrance? There were so many zeroes and fives!!"
Uto gently patted her in the back
"I understand, this too is not my scene. But watch over Ahko, we must."
"You say that but you’re enjoying yourself talking fantastically with Shizuka."
Uto blushed, one had a point.
"You are not incorrect. But I don’t think our dear Ahko would appreciate us growing bored in the meantime. Perhaps you should ask Nano to recite you some more numbers?"
One got giddy again, and turned back to Nano, who was looking over Shizuka, as surrounded by most of her court. Behind her, Prince Nano (and to her sides, Suu left and Princess Mimimi right). At her left was the seamstress Meme, and in front was the playwright Meru. To her right, bards Himeka aside and Uto in front of her. All of them helping oversee her dragon.
"To love each other enough to invite more lovers in, to watch a romantic movie...truly, their love is the deepest of fairy tales", Meru commented
Nano shook her head, remembering what she had started.
"No, the beginning was much too troublesome. And too arousing for fairy tales."
Meru considered.
"It has Yamame, it evens out."
She truly was an exemplary fairy tale dame.
"Stalking your friends on a date, how abnormal I must be!"commented Himeka, though Shizuka also refused that.
["Quite normal" "even more so" "in this family"], she pointed.
Meme spoke..well, as up as she did.
"W-well, there is a layer of irony at Himeka, an idol, being the one at risk of being stalked. Though um...stalking really isn’t so bad..sometimes it’s too much to be around a loved one.."
Mimimi smugly smiled.
"Indeed!! I often allow Meme to observe me from afar. It makes me feel very seen, and it keeps her comfortable! Also good practice for stalkers who might mean genuine harm."
The court discussed (and watched over), until shushed by an usher..ironic, given their central princess.
The girls left the movies, blushing, giggling, holding hands, a train of Yamame to Hakari to Karane to Ahko. They walked and talked all the way to the Hanazono mansion, where they intended...to group cuddle. The beds were big enough.
Yamame relaxed once at the entry door.
"Group dates are a blast!! Ahm so happy I got closer to all yall...and um..Hakari? Am I..dateable ‘nuff?"
Hakari decided a frontal assault was the right response, and jumped on her, expecting (correctly) to get caught, and then bussing her new girlfriend.
They would have easily gone on for 30 minutes, but the doors opened with a smiling Hahari.
"Oh my, right in front of our home? How daring~"
Hakari rolled her eyes and dismounted her giant girlfriend.
"Yes, because you would never do such terrible things within our household."
Mei bowed.
"I trust you had a good date, madams?"
The girls looked at each other softly, and nodded. Hakari turned to them.
"Do you even have to ask? You all followed us!"
Hahari and Mei flustered, sweating.
"N-no, we did not, what are you talking about, who’s Mommy?"
Mei bowed down as far as she could
"Forgive us for our transgressions, Mistress Hakari, I’ll make sure to end my life as repayment."
"Please don’t"
Hahari sighed after warning Mei.
"Alright, come on in..."
The four girls came in to find...all the girlfriends in the main hall, and a banner reading "congrats on the giant gf"
"SURPRISE", they yelled upon arrival.
Hakari got dizzy, confused.
"Wh, I just started dating Yamame, it’s no big deal!!"
"You’re wrong."
Hakari turned to Karane, having said that, who then held her hands.
"Hakari...when we started this, I was a goddang moron. I called it a lot of names...so did you, but I said it with such hatred. I was so stuck in my wounded pride, I didn’t realize how you were treating yourself about it. Like this was something to settle for. And then when Shizuka came along, to see it like you were given the honor of not being abandoned...It hurts. You’re the only reason a dumb tsundere like me could confess, day one. And it’s only cause we confessed together that we got this-this family. And I love this. You know it now, I love this big fucking family. I love that Shizuka and Nano slotted together, that Mimimi and Meme bound in naturally with them. I love that your mom, that Kusuri’s grandma, found a place here, got to spend more time with their family. I love the girls that rely on me, Nemu, Kurumi, Mai. I love loving Rentarou, I love loving Ahko. ..and I love that you found someone else, big, strong, wholesome, and that you outright went to get her, date her. That you understand now that you’re worth loving, hundred, thousand percent!! This is a family of love, dammit! And-and I love you, too, horny idiot! I really really really really really love you! And you deserve it! So um. Not to hijack your date with Yamame or anything but..but...IT’S NOT LIKE I’D LIKE TO MARRY YOU, TOO, OR ANYTHING!!"
Thus Hakari’s face matched her hair.
"Ah."
Karane turned to the side, flustering deeply. Hakari took her by the cheek. And without drugs, or drunkenness, without sleep or coercion.
Hakari and Karane kissed. And there would be many more kisses, more confessions, more dates to come, between these, Rentarou’s (soon to be) 100 girlfriends who really, really, really, really, really love each other.
