Chapter 3 (5-toubun no Hanayome)

"So, how was your date?" I asked Ichiko.

She smiled at me and answered

"Great, she and I went to a cafe, then went to an amusement park, and ended up sailing on boats, well, the ones that look like swans." She answered

'I'm happy for you!' I said, opening my locker and stepping away from the falling mountain of love confessions. Not only did they come to me, and all my sisters too, like Eriri, but only my sisters received some. Eriri and I did not answer them.

Ichiko picked up one of the letters from the floor and looked at me

"Yin, when will you answer one of the confessions? Or at least say that you and Eriri are dating." she said, to which I blushed

"Ichiko-chan, what are you talking about, in any case, I have to go to the club," and without letting her say anything else, she left.

Eriri and Me? Well, I don't argue that she's right, I like Eriri, you could even say I'm in love with her.

But love is something that two people should experience. What if she doesn't share my feelings, then I'm afraid it will ruin our friendship.

We have been friends with Eriri for 5 years now, she is our closest friend in class, she often stayed with us, Eriri's family often invited us to a restaurant. You could say we are family friends.

Eriri may be 12 years old, but she is very beautiful, and basically like me. I've just had to change a lot of bras over the past year, my breasts keep growing. If someone said that a 12-year-old girl could have such large breasts, no one would believe it, but I am direct proof of this.

My least favorite time is when my menstrual period arrives, which makes me feel too bad. Yes, and my puberty also interferes with my thoughts, although mentally I am already 30, but the body of a hormonal teenager. I locked myself in a room many times to follow myself. And once I even slept with my mother, to which she began to console me and told me not to stress myself out, that this was completely normal.

By the way, about mom. She and Scarlet got married, and that was to be expected. Their wedding was gorgeous. And I carried them rings, my sisters decided that I should do it. Well, now we call her mom too. And I was at her bar, it was a very nice and cozy place.

 I also continue to exercise every day, and I started practicing kendo at the age of 7, and even joined the kendo club at school.

Eriri, by the way, also liked kendo, so we often spar with her, we can say that we have a friendly rivalry. There hasn't been a winner in our sparring yet, but we continue to spar with each other. 

Approaching the club room, where Eriri stood, apparently waiting for me.

Noticing me, she smiled a sweet smile, which made my heart beat faster and felt like my face was burning.

Yin calm down, you're a hormonal teenager!

"Yin, hello! Are you ready for today's defeat?" 

"Yes, yes, like last time and the time before!" I answered

"It's different now," she replied pouting.

Smiling at her sweet behavior I said

"Then you said the same thing"

"Well, let's see," she said enthusiastically, entering the room, and following her

As a result, she and I sparred for 3 hours and none of us gave in. Of course, I didn't use my superpower, that would have been cheating, and I was afraid of hurting Eriri.

After our sparring, we collected all our things and went to the cinema, but a week ago, Eriri asked if I wanted to go to the cinema with her, to see some kind of horror movie, to which I agreed. Yes, it looked like a date, but at least that's how I regarded it.

We were picked up by her butler, whose name I still don't remember, but that's not the point. 

Having arrived at the cinema, we went and bought tickets and a large glass of popcorn.

In fact, the film was not scary, but Eriri was scared at some points and clung closely to me. For which I praised the gods and goddesses for her reaction.

Afterwards the same butler picked us up, and when I was about to leave, Eriri took my hand.

"I..." she seemed to want to say something important, the same thing that she had been trying to say for 5 years, but something stopped her.

"I had a great time, see you at school," I nodded to her and got out of the car.

I watched her drive away into the distance and sighed heavily. I know something is gnawing at her, she wants to tell me, but at the last moment she can't. Of course, I'm not rushing her; when she's ready, she'll tell you.

"Oh Yin, your date is already over," suddenly I heard Scarlet's voice from the left, who was apparently returning from work.

I blushed and answered

"Mom, it was a date, it was just a friendly pastime"

"Oh come on?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, I ran home and was immediately greeted by my biological mother, whom I hugged.

"Mommy, mommy is hurting me." She didn't understand what was happening, then I heard Scarlet laughing at the front door, smiling, she decided to play along with me

"Don't be afraid, dear, I will make this demon pay for hurting my daughter," she said in a heroic tone, after a second of silence, the three of us laughed.

Probably the laughter was heard by the other sisters and they went out to see what had happened.

Afterwards, the whole family sat down at the table and began to eat dinner prepared by my mother.

After dinner, everyone went to their rooms.

I was lying in my crib browsing the stock market, during which time I created a company called "Yuri International", which was focused on producing anime, manga and games with a yuri theme. Of course, before the company was created, many wanted to find the red queen in order to conclude partnership deals. And some wanted to marry their sons to the red queen so that the red queen would be tied to their families, but after creating a company on behalf of the red queen, many realized that nothing was wrong because of the bold hint about my sexuality.

Putting the phone aside, I tried to fall asleep, tossing and turning, I no longer have dreams, but nevertheless I often have trouble falling asleep.

I am constantly overtaken by thoughts about Sif, where is she, what is wrong with her and when will she return?

If only I knew then that there were 3 years left before our meeting, which would rock my world.
