Yamai Sisters

Higashino Makoto stood at the villa entrance, watching the figures of Shiori Itsuka, Kotori Itsuka, and Mana disappear around the street corner.

He spent three days playing on the beach, eating grilled meat from Shiori Itsuka, sleeping in a soft bed, and enjoying the company of women for three days.

He rubbed his lower back, turned around, and walked along the street.

Who should we look for next?

He thought about it and decided to just wander around as before.

Anyway, he was already used to being treated like a protagonist.

What you think about comes true.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the commercial street, I heard a commotion coming from the arcade.

"Hmph... This battle is a victory for Yamai Kaguya!"

The voice was crisp and clear, with a hint of childish smugness.

Higashino Makoto stopped and looked inside the arcade through the glass window.

Two fighting game consoles are placed side by side, with two characters fighting on the screen.

The character on the left screen is down, while the character on the right screen is standing, striking a victory pose.

A girl sat on the left, her long orange hair tied in pigtails with slightly curled ends.

She was wearing a black mini-skirt and a white shirt, the collar of which was open, revealing a section of her fair collarbone.

She released her hand from the joystick, leaned back, crossed her arms over her chest, and smiled.

"No, Yamai Yuzuru clearly won more times."

The girl sitting on the right also has long orange hair, but it's tied into a single ponytail that hangs down her shoulder.

She wore the same black skirt and white shirt, but with a red ribbon tied at the collar.

Her fingers were still on the joystick, her eyes fixed on the screen, her expression calm.

Kaguya Yamai, Yuzuru Yamai, twin wind Elf Kingdom.

Yamai Kaguya jumped up from the chair, put his hands on his hips, tilted his head back, and widened the smile on his face.

"Ha, adding the last result, Yamai Kaguya clearly has more victories!"

Yamai Yuzuru stood up from her chair, turned around, and faced Yamai Kaguya.

Her expression remained calm, like a still lake.

"Rejected. Last time is last time; it doesn't affect the outcome this time."

"How can it not have an impact? The number of victories is cumulative!"

"What we accumulate are records, not victories. This result only represents this instance."

"You—you're just making excuses!"

"State the facts."

Yamai Kaguya's lips twitched slightly.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.

Yamai Yuzuru stood still, her expression calm, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

Higashino Makoto stood outside the glass window, watching this scene, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Their competitive nature is quite interesting.

Come to think of it, he hasn't played games in a long time.

I played fighting games for a while in my past life; my skills were average, but not bad either.

Having gained power in this lifetime, my reaction speed and hand speed have long since surpassed the heavens, making me absolutely capable of dominating the arcade.

He pushed open the door and went inside.

Yamai Kaguya and Yamai Yuzuru turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes lit up when they saw him.

"How about I join?"

Yamai Kaguya's lips curled up again, he put his hands on his hips and tilted his head back.

"Hmph, how dare you attempt to challenge the Yamai, who represents victory! How arrogant, Higashino- kun."

Yamai Yuzuru nodded.

"That's right. The Yamai Sisters together are invincible."

Higashino Makoto sat down in the seat of Yamai Kaguya and picked up the controller.

On the character selection screen, he chose a character, the one that Kaguya Yamai had just used. He had already learned how to play it by observing it.

As for the rest, I'll leave it to my invincible power.

Yamai Kaguya stood behind him, arms crossed, looking down at him.

"You must know that losing to the great Yamai is Curse of fate."

Yamai Yuzuru walked to his other side, also crossing her arms.

"The loser must grant the winner one request."

Higashino Makoto looked up, glanced to his left, and then to his right.

Two identical faces, one with a smug smile on its lips, the other with a calm expression but a hint of cunning in its eyes.

"That's right, admit defeat!"

"Agreed. It's better to just admit defeat."

Higashino Makoto looked at them, remained silent for two seconds, and then picked up the controller.

Will I lose?

With his stats right there, his reaction speed surpasses that of a level 100 player, and with the added boost of the Pride Demon, he could win with his eyes closed.

"I will win."

Yamai Kaguya's smile froze for a moment, then widened.

"You've got guts! Come on!"

First game.

The character chosen by Higashino Makoto was completely defeated by the character chosen by Yamai Kaguya by a score of 3-0.

Yamai Kaguya at the word "KO" on the screen, his mouth agape and his eyes wide.

Her hand was still gripping the handle, her fingers trembling.

"No—impossible! Yamai actually lost!"

Yamai Yuzuru took the handle from her hand.

"Make way. Yamai Yuzuru is here."

Second game.

Yamai Yuzuru's technique is slightly better Yamai Kaguya's, but only slightly better.

Higashino Makoto wins 3-1.

Yamai Yuzuru put down the controller, her expression still calm, but the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed.

"It's a pity. We lost."

Yamai Kaguya stood to the side, arms crossed, pouting.

"Hmph! It's definitely just luck!"

"Luck is also a part of ability."

Higashino Makoto put down the controller, leaned back in his chair, and looked at them.

If you lose, you have to accept it.

Yamai Kaguya's lips twitched slightly. She lowered her head, her orange twin tails cascading down her shoulders.

"Speak, what is your demand?"

Yamai Yuzuru also lowered her head.

"That's right, state your request. Even if it means doing something shameful, we'll have no choice but to agree."

Higashino Makoto looked at the two identical heads and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"You two should spend the next two days accompanying me on my date."

Yamai Kaguya raised his head, his eyes wide open.

"Dating?"

Yamai Yuzuru also raised her head, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"Dating."

"That's right, a date. The rest of the itinerary is up to you two."

Yamai Kaguya's face flushed slightly as she turned to look at Yamai Yuzuru.

Yamai Yuzuru looked at her, and the two stared at each other for a moment before nodding simultaneously.

"Since we've lost, Yamai accepts it."

"Agreed, a bet's a bet."

Higashino Makoto stood up and walked towards the entrance of the arcade.

Let's go.

Yamai Kaguya and Yamai Yuzuru followed behind him.

On their first date, the Yamai Sisters took him to a haunted house.

Yamai Kaguya walked ahead, hands on his hips, head held high, looking fearless.

Then a skeleton fell from the ceiling, and she screamed, hiding behind Higashino Makoto and clutching his clothes tightly with both hands.

Yamai Yuzuru stood to the side, her expression calm, but her hand also gripped the hem of Higashino Makoto's clothes.

Higashino Makoto was sandwiched between two people, one with a right hand on his left and one with a left hand on his right, as he walked forward.

When they came out of the haunted house, Yamai Kaguya's face was still pale.

She loosened his clothes, coughed twice, and put her hands on her hips.

"Hmph! That kind of thing is nothing to Yamai!"

Yamai Yuzuru loosened his sleeve and straightened his collar.

"Agreed, not worth mentioning."

Higashino Makoto glanced at them but didn't say anything.

In the afternoon, they took him to a jewelry store.

Yamai Kaguya picked up an orange hair clip, put it on her head, and looked at herself in the mirror from left to right.

Yamai Yuzuru picked up a blue hair clip, put it on her head, and looked at herself in the mirror.

The two of them turned around at the same time to face him.

Which one looks better?

Which one looks better?

Higashino Makoto looked at two identical hair clips, and then at two identical people.

Both look good.

"Then buy them all."

Agreed.

That evening, they took him to a restaurant.

Yamai Kaguya ordered a lot of meat, and Yamai Yuzuru ordered a lot of vegetables.

The two people eat in different ways, but the CDs are at roughly the same speed, so they're basically in sync.

The next day, they took him to the amusement park.

Yamai Kaguya wants to ride the roller coaster, Yamai Yuzuru wants to ride the Ferris wheel.

The two argued back and forth, until finally Higashino Makoto said that both of them should sit.

First the roller coaster, then the Ferris wheel.
