Using a Mysterious Spellbook Ended Up Creating a Slave Harem - Chapter 49

Home Date

The week following our fun date at the amusement park was just a completely ordinary week of high school life.

When the weekend rolled around, we talked about going on another date, but we couldn't decide on a destination. From Otowa-chan's perspective, going to a major date spot every single week seemed like it might be a bit too much of a financial burden.

For me, thanks to that specific money-making method I have going through Iroha, money wasn't an issue at all. However, I'm keeping that a secret from her. Because of that, she was naturally making decisions based on the financial sensibilities of a typical high school student.

In the end, we decided to have a date at my house. Otowa-chan mentioned that she wanted to see my room at least once and also wanted to be introduced to my family.

As for my family, it's a four-person household consisting of my father, mother, older brother, and me, but my brother moved out as soon as he started university. My mother had already met her briefly during the sports festival, so I wanted to introduce her to my father this time.

Though since both of my parents work, there was a chance they might both be out.

＋＋＋

And so, today is Saturday, the day I'm inviting her over. Since she wasn't arriving until the afternoon, I spent last night and this morning frantically cleaning my room.

Ultimately, it turned out my dad was busy with work—perhaps because it's December—and was away. So, my mother would be the only one meeting Otowa-chan.

Based on the message I received from her, I went to pick her up at the nearest train station. After waiting for a short while near the exit facing the direction of my house, Otowa-chan appeared, drawing the attention of the people around her.

"Atsushi-kun. Good morning♪"

"Good morning, Oto-chan."

"Did I keep you waiting?"

"I just got here, so it's fine."

"I see, that's a relief..."

"Shall we head out then?"

"Yeah."

I took the luggage she was holding to carry it for her, and we began walking toward my house. It's a short, ten-minute walk, and the number of pedestrians thinned out along the way.

At first, our conversation was lively, but as we drew closer to my house, the quiet moments between us grew longer. It seemed Otowa-chan was getting nervous about visiting her boyfriend's house and meeting his mother.

"......Are you okay?"

"I'm, I'm a little... nervous..."

"Well, I know telling you not to be nervous won't help, but it's just a completely ordinary house."

"U-un. ...But Atsushi-kun, you were nervous when you met my family too, right?"

"Of course... I was. But if it's you, Otowa-chan, I'm sure my mom will approve."

"I hope so..."

As we kept talking, we arrived in front of my house. Before heading inside, we did a bit of adjusting and preparing at the front door, and finally, the moment arrived.

"...Well, I'm going to open it, ready?"

"Y-yes! Let's go."

"Alright... I'm home~"

Opening the front door, I called out to announce our arrival. In response, my mother came out to the entryway to greet us.

"Otowa-chan, please come in."

"E-excuse me..."

"...Mom, this is Kojina Otowa-san, the girl I recently started dating. You met her back at the sports festival, right?"

"It's been a while. I am Kojina Otowa, and I am currently dating Atsushi-kun. It's a pleasure to meet you."

My mother seemed either nervous herself or flustered by the fact that the girlfriend I brought home was an incredibly beautiful girl, but she managed to get through the greetings. After Otowa-chan handed over a small gift she brought, we moved upstairs to my room.

＋＋＋

"...W-Was I acting weird?"

"No, I think my mom was just nervous too."

"R-really? She doesn't hate me, right?"

"It's basically the first time you've properly met, so there's no way. I think she was just shocked that her son's girlfriend turned out to be an unexpected beauty."

"A b-beauty..."

As we entered the room, I reassured her to ease her worries about my mom's reaction. Seeing Otowa-chan's lips twitch into a shy smile at my use of the word "beauty," I had her sit down on a cushion I had prepared.

"For now, I'll go get us something to drink. Is a café au lait okay?"

"Y-yes."

"Alright, wait here a moment."

Leaving her in the room, I went downstairs, dealt with my mother who was trying to pry into things, and prepared the drinks using the coffee machine. Once ready, I headed back up to my room along with some sweets to keep our mouths occupied.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No..."

I set everything down on the table in front of Otowa-chan, who had taken off her coat and was sitting down. Once finished, I sat down directly across the table from her.

"...Now then, once again, welcome to my house and my room."

"Fufu♪ ...So this is Atsushi-kun's room."

"Well, it's just a typical high school boy's room."

"It's my first time entering a boy's room, so it feels really fresh..."

"I don't think it's all that different from your younger brother's room, though."

"He hasn't let me into his room since he became a middle schooler. I guess we're mutual on that."

Once a boy reaches that age, it's only natural that he wouldn't want his family in his room. There are plenty of things and topics he'd rather keep private.

"It's my first time letting a girlfriend into my room, too..."

"I-I see...♪"

My student from my tutoring days, Iroha, has been in this room well over a hundred times, but she isn't my girlfriend, so I technically wasn't lying. Watching Otowa-chan look so happy, I simply smiled and kept her company without bringing up unnecessary details.

＋＋＋

Spending a relaxing time together, we shared various conversations. Midway through, our cups became empty, so I went downstairs to get refills and came back with fresh sweets and the gift she brought.

As she drank her new cup of milk tea, she noticed something among the various types of sweets I had brought up.

"Ah, this is..."

What Otowa-chan picked up was a small pouch of a famous chocolate snack. Staring at it quietly for a moment as if thinking, she opened the pouch and turned to me with a smile.

"Hey, Atsushi-kun..."

"What's up?"

Taking a piece out of the bag, Otowa-chan held one end of the chocolate snack in her mouth and turned her face toward me. That action could only be interpreted as an invitation to do that.

"Nn♪"

"...Are you serious?"

With a mental shrug, I happily gave in to her temptation. I took the remaining end into my mouth and slowly began to eat, and an advance started from her side as well.

As the two of us kept eating, our faces naturally drew closer. Keeping my eyes on Otowa-chan's beautiful eyes as we continued, our lips eventually met.

After a soft kiss that lasted for a few seconds, we pulled our faces back and separated. With her cheeks flushed, she gave a bashful smile and pulled another piece out of the pouch.

"......Let's do it... one more time?♪"

"Yeah..."

"Here... Nn♪"

Enchanted by her as she held it in her mouth again, I bit onto the other end. We ate our way through a single chocolate snack from both sides, eventually meeting in the middle to lock lips once more.

We ended up repeating this secret little game over and over until the small pouch was completely empty.

＋＋＋

Even after we finished, a pink, romantic aura lingered in the room, but it finally returned to normal when she asked me to show her where the restroom was. A short while after she returned, I decided to ask about her schedule for next week.

"By the way... do you have any plans for next weekend?"

"...You mean, Christmas...?"

That's right, next Saturday is the 24th, Christmas Eve. Naturally, Sunday is the 25th, Christmas Day itself.

The closing ceremony for the second semester is on the 23rd, so winter vacation will have already started. For me, I absolutely wanted to secure one of those days.

"I'm thinking of around late morning to evening."

"If it's around that time, the 25th should be fine."

"Really? Great. Then let me lock that time down."

"............Yes♪"

With that, our Christmas date was locked in. I intended to take my relationship with Otowa-chan all the way to the very end this Christmas.

"I'll message you the details on Monday, the day after tomorrow."

"Yes. I'll be looking forward to it♪"

"Yeah. I'll make sure it's absolutely fun."

I didn't know how she felt about an important day for lovers like Christmas. While hoping that Otowa-chan was also wishing to take our relationship to an adult level, our home date came to an end.
