"How about we introduce you to—Mom next?" Kasumi-san said nonchalantly.

What in the world is this person saying? There will be no turning back if we go that far.

"Big sister, isn't it too early for him to meet Mom?"

"Eh? You two mean to be a married couple, right? Then it's fine, no?"

"That is......"

Rinka gave me a side-long glance.

I understood the reason for her hesitation. Rinka acted as if she were my wife while she was waiting for my answer, but it seems like she did not want our relationship to undergo such a critical development.

"You two love each other, right?"

"......"

"Hm? What's wrong?"

Kasumi-san tilted her head after seeing that our lips were shut tight.

"Actually, erm......Kazuto-kun has yet to realize that he is my husband. I am currently waiting for him to sort out his feelings"

"A-Ahhh......I see. In other words, Kazuto Ayanokouji-kun is a rather reasonable person"

The way she put it made it seem like Rinka is a strange person. ......Yeah, I can't totally deny it.

"But it's fine. Kazuto-kun just doesn't have the self-realization, but he loves me"

"............Oh dear, my sister has become quite eerie while I wasn't aware"

Kasumi-san turned towards me as if she were seeking a helping hand.

I cannot do anything. Thinking back, she was like that even on the very first day.

"E-Errrm, let me make sense of this one more time. Rinka means for you two to be a married couple, right?"

"Indeed"

"Then what about Ayanokouji-kun?"

"......We are online friends and......classmates who started to interact in real life as well, I guess"

"Do you like Rinka?"

"I like her, or rather......I can’t say for certain that it's romantic. I have always looked up to Rinka-san as an idol, so"

"Ahhhh, it has kinda become an incredibly troublesome situation, huhhh. And the one complicating it the most is Rinka, huh"

"Just what do you mean by that?"

"What is there to explain? The meaning is literal"

"Kazuto-kun is just not being clear about it, but the fact remains that we're married"

"......Eh, are you what people commonly call a Yandere? Or perhaps a stalker?"

"Please don't say such slanderous things. I will get angry even if it is my big sister that is saying it," Rinka said, slightly perturbed.

"I'm beginning to understand what sort of relationship you two are in. At first, I thought you two loved each other mutually and were playing as a married couple, but...... Isn't this just Rinka stalking Ayanokouji-kun?"

That way of putting it seems right, but it is actually wrong. I said all that, but I have also come to accept it after all...... Not that I have accepted that we are a married couple, though.

"I'm not stalking him. It's natural for married couples to be together, right?"

"......Rinka............"

It has come to the point where even Kasumi-san hung her head. No, it might be better to say that she was at a loss for words. Kasumi-san eventually lifted her head and looked towards me.

"Ayanokouji-kun......"

"Yes"

"Please take care of......our Rinka"

"......What!?"

"Well, you know, you are the only one; The only one who can be the recipient of her deep-seated love"

"W-What are you trying to suggest!?"

"Rinka's extremely cute, right? Even without my bias as a family member, I think that she is a national beauty. Also, she is smart, good at singing and cooking, and an extremely beautiful girl who is called a cool idol, not to mention...... Yeah, she's perfect, right?"

"You talk as if you want to push a bad loan onto me"

"Argh! Ain't it fine! Rinka has gone out of her way to bring a boy over, you know! The Rinka that I thought had no interest in boys and only loved girls! I'm telling you this is her last chance!"

"Uhhhhh......"

Kasumi-san threw out an irrational and desperate rebuttal to force her opinion upon me.

What in the world is this......

"I don't know what Ayanokouji-kun is hesitating for, but there are times when romantic feelings develop after dating. Isn't crossing the line with Rinka first also a valid option?"

"I see, that way of thinking is also va—wait, there's no way I would agree to that! Isn't that fait accompli!?"

"Isn't that fine! Just what part of Rinka dissatisfies you!?"

"I-It's not like I'm dissatisfied......"

"I'm happy that you are thinking about this seriously for Rinka's sake, but wouldn't it also be fine to go with the flow just like a young person would?"

"Kasumi-san......"

I came to a sudden realization after she said it. It was as she said, I was overthinking various things and had cornered myself.

"Leave it to your overflowing libido, that is"

This person is the worst. She says perverse things with a straight face and might be quite an unhinged person.

"With that said, I will contact mum, so~. Well, enjoy the sumptuous dinner at least, alright?" Kasumi-san said as she took out her smartphone and called someone.

Judging from the contents of their conversation, it seems like she was talking to her mother.

Kasumi-san sure moves things along at a terrifying pace, huh. I thought that she was an outspoken person from her appearance, but she easily surpassed my expectations.

"I'm sorry, Kazuto-kun. For such a thing to happen before you have made up your mind," Rinka, who was sitting beside me, apologized, seemingly apologetic from the bottom of her heart.

"I-It's okay"

It's probably not Rinka's fault. I have no choice but to steel myself.

Oh man, I suree want to play some online games right now......

I wonder if this is the manifestation of my escapism.
