In Hentai World as Mira Tsubakihara's Relative

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Pecking Order



Listening to Ruri's plan, Reina and Yukina's eyes lit up, their faces flushed red, and they seemed quite excited.

.

Aside from the occasional interruptions from the three gyaru girls during the morning classes, the lessons proceeded without much incident.

However, as soon as the morning classes ended, Hikari once again became the focus of the class's attention.

This was because, just after he had dismissed the three gyaru girls, two well-developed, busty beauties simultaneously appeared at the front and back doors of the classroom.

Walking in through the front door was Nanao Akane.

Entering from the back door was Shinomiya Natsuha.

It was clear that both girls had the same target: Hikari.

"Hikari-kun, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch. My treat~" Shinomiya Natsuha gently grabbed Hikari's arm and spoke in a soft tone.

"Hikari-kun, there's an amazing ramen shop near the cafeteria. Let me take you there. It's super delicious, and I'll treat you~" Nanao Akane, unwilling to be outdone, clung to Hikari's other arm.

With two beautiful girls tugging at him from either side, Hikari left the classroom. However, he quickly withdrew his hands from their soft, ample chests and said, "I don't like noisy places, so I'm not going to the cafeteria."

"And I don't feel like eating ramen today. I've already bought some bread. See you."

Saying this, Hikari grabbed the bread he had bought earlier and started heading to the rooftop to eat his lunch in peace before immersing himself in intense and exciting study sessions.

Though not particularly interested in studying, maintaining decent grades was one of the conditions Ms. Mira had set for allowing him to rent a room outside.

Watching Hikari's retreating figure, Shinomiya Natsuha and Nanao Akane exchanged glances, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.

Then, they quickly returned to their seats, each grabbing a lunchbox, and chased after Hikari, joining him on the rooftop.

There, they found Hikari sitting alone, quietly munching on his bread.

Shinomiya Natsuha hurried over, her voice filled with concern. "Hikari-kun, how can you just have this for lunch? Actually, I made a bento today but was too shy to show it earlier because I wasn't confident in my cooking skills."

"But since you don't want to go to the cafeteria, please have my homemade bento instead."

Blushing slightly, Shinomiya Natsuha opened her lunchbox and placed it in front of Hikari.

Catching up quickly, Nanao Akane saw this and immediately said, "Hikari-kun, I also made a bento for you."

She, too, opened her lunchbox and placed it before Hikari.

Noticing how similar their actions were, Shinomiya Natsuha glared at Nanao Akane in annoyance.

In the past, Nanao Akane would avoid any conflict with Shinomiya Natsuha. However, after the intimate bonding she experienced with Hikari yesterday, Nanao Akane felt much bolder.

So, without hesitation, she glared right back at Shinomiya Natsuha, unwilling to back down.

The atmosphere on the rooftop, with just the three of them, was immediately charged with tension.

———

Warm sunlight bathed the rooftop of the school's top floor, causing the cement platform to feel slightly warm.

Yet, the air was filled with a cold, tense atmosphere—courtesy of the standoff between Shinomiya Natsuha and Nanao Akane.

For an ordinary boy, facing such a scene, especially when both girls were stunning beauties with great figures, would likely be nerve-wracking, leaving him sweating and flustered.

However, Hikari wasn't particularly intimidated by such situations.

Thanks to his unique physique, even a machete would dull before breaking his skin.

So the notion of any "bad ending" like a classic betrayal wasn't a concern for him.

While maintaining a calm expression, Hikari listened to Nanao Akane, who was the first to speak: "Hikari-kun, try my bento first. I made it with great care~"

Not to be outdone, Shinomiya Natsuha quickly interjected: "Hikari-kun, try mine first. Just like how you tried me first before."

Hearing the subtle yet pointed remarks between the two, Hikari remained silent, lowering his head slightly.

Looking at the bentos placed before him, his expression turned odd.

He couldn't help but ask, "You two… really seem to have great coordination. Did you follow the same bento-making tutorial video or something?"

Both girls immediately glanced at each other's bento and shared a moment of awkward silence.

Indeed, their bentos were practically identical.

Each contained an omurice drizzled with tomato sauce, a heart-shaped fried egg, some vegetables, and beef cubes.

Even the plating looked nearly identical.

Shinomiya Natsuha couldn't help but complain, "Nanao Akane, of all the bento recipes on YouTube, why did you have to follow the same one as me?"

Nanao Akane retorted, "What do you mean by 'follow you'? How was I supposed to know you'd make the same thing?"

"Besides, it's not like you invented this bento recipe. What's your problem?"

Hearing this, Shinomiya Natsuha couldn't argue further and simply said, "Fine. If the bentos are the same, let's see whose tastes better."

"Hikari-kun, open your mouth. I'll feed you my bento, ahhh~"

Shinomiya Natsuha scooped up a bite and held it out to Hikari.

Not to be outdone, Nanao Akane did the same: "Hikari-kun, I'll feed you too, ahhhh~"

Watching the two beautiful girls competing to feed him, Hikari wasn't particularly fazed.

After all, during his time at the Tsubakihara household, Yuna and Nina Tsubahara—the twin sisters who inherited Ms. Mira's genes—would sometimes fight over feeding him as well.

Compared to them, this was almost routine for him.

Hikari calmly opened his mouth twice, taking a bite from each girl's bento.

"Hmm, Natsuha-chan, your bento tastes great. The omurice is rich but not overly greasy, and the beef cubes mixed with peas have a delightful balance of flavors. Very nice," Hikari said, nodding in appreciation toward Shinomiya Natsuha.

"Hikari-kun, I'm glad you like it." Shinomiya Natsuha's face lit up with joy, her smile blooming like a flower.

Meanwhile, Nanao Akane felt a twinge of disappointment.

But before Shinomiya Natsuha could boast or gloat, Hikari turned to Nanao Akane and added, "Nanao-chan, your bento is also excellent. The sweet and tangy flavor of the omurice is appetizing, and the texture is very satisfying. Great work."

Hearing this, Nanao Akane's disappointment instantly vanished, replaced by a bright smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, Hikari-kun!" Overjoyed, Nanao Akane hugged Hikari's arm, rubbing her soft, ample chest against him.

Seeing this, Shinomiya Natsuha's earlier happiness quickly faded.

She originally thought her cooking was better than Akane Nanao's.

Unexpectedly, Hikari gave an evaluation of "evenly matched."

This forced her newly rising provocative and mocking attitude to be suppressed.

Akane Nanao, on the other hand, saw through Shinomiya Natsuha's initially smug demeanor and glanced at her disdainfully.

"Hmph!"

The two girls simultaneously pouted, coldly snorted, and turned their heads away in unison. They both stood close to Hikari, but with their backs to each other.

Looking at the two beautiful girls who seemed to be at odds, Hikari, though unafraid of a "battlefield of jealousy," felt a bit of a headache.

After all, such a disharmonious atmosphere could affect one's appetite.

Seeing that there was no clear winner in the lunchbox battle, Akane Nanao and Shinomiya Natsuha, both dissatisfied with each other, naturally began brainstorming for better ways to "win favor."

Suddenly, Akane Nanao grabbed Hikari's hand and placed it on her ample chest.

Her cheeks flushed pink as she lowered her head slightly and spoke to Hikari in a soft, coquettish voice, "Um, Hikari-kun, I feel like my heart is beating so fast today. Whenever I see you, my whole body feels a little warm. Could you check if I'm sick or have some incurable disease?"

Before Hikari could reply, Shinomiya Natsuha interjected, "I think you just have a fever."

Akane Nanao immediately caught onto the double entendre in Shinomiya Natsuha's words.

She retorted angrily, "I think you're the one with a fever, Shinomiya Natsuha. I'm asking Hikari-kun, what does this have to do with you?"

Shinomiya Natsuha hugged Hikari's other arm and placed it on her equally ample chest, sneering, "Can't I help Hikari-kun answer?"

Shinomiya Natsuha glared unhappily at Akane Nanao. From her perspective, she was the one who came first and was closer to Hikari.

She could reluctantly accept Akane Nanao's late arrival since there was already Yukino Fuyumi before her.

But Akane Nanao showed no respect for her position as the "official girlfriend" and even encroached on the time she could have exclusively spent with Hikari at school.

To top it off, even delivering a lunchbox became a competition, and now she was flirting with Hikari in front of her. This was outrageous, and Shinomiya Natsuha was quite unhappy.

On the other hand, Akane Nanao didn't show any kindness to Shinomiya Natsuha either.

In her eyes, even though Shinomiya Natsuha had been around longer, they were in a fair competition. Why should Shinomiya Natsuha hold the title of "official girlfriend"?

If Hikari explicitly said so, she wouldn't mind.

But yesterday, when Hikari carried her home, he had said that his relationship with Shinomiya Natsuha was similar to his relationship with her.

So why should she settle for being beneath Shinomiya Natsuha? Akane Nanao refused to accept this.

Thus, she also harbored resentment, wanting to surpass Shinomiya Natsuha.

Watching the two girls scheming even during a meal, Hikari felt he was slightly starting to understand how emperors must have felt dealing with jealous concubines in palace dramas.

Though it wasn't quite the same, it was still quite annoying.

If he showed a bit more affection to Akane Nanao, Shinomiya Natsuha would be unhappy.

If he favored Shinomiya Natsuha more, Akane Nanao would be displeased.

It was truly uncomfortable.

But since they weren't causing any major arguments or disruptions, he couldn't hit or scold them. All he could do was watch them sulk.

Since it wasn't convenient to address this at school, he thought he'd find a time when they were free, take down the stick from his waist, and give these two girls a good lesson. They'd probably behave better afterward.

Feeling a headache, Hikari quickly finished his meal and said he would head downstairs back to his class.

Both Shinomiya Natsuha and Akane Nanao hurriedly followed, afraid of falling behind the other.

However, just as they were about to go downstairs, Shinomiya Natsuha suddenly noticed a small room on the rooftop where some teaching equipment was stored.

The tables, chairs, and blackboards inside seemed to have just been moved out, leaving it mostly empty, save for a few clean-looking small desks.

Shinomiya Natsuha's crimson eyes gleamed with a flash of thought.

She suddenly grabbed Hikari's hand and said, "Hikari-kun, wait a moment!"
