Omake 1 year after

Nozomi walked by herself on the familiar street of Akiba she was on her way home on her way home, it was another rather rough day of school. College was tough, and on top of that Nozomi had decided to take on a part time job to pay for the extra cost for college, her parents were still helping her but she didn't want to bother them every time she need a little bit more cash. So that ended Nozomi with a part time job at the library close to her university. With her schedule full with helping at the shrine in the morning, school in the afternoon and work at night, Nozomi could barely take care of herself thankfully she wasn't just by herself. Nozomi smiled to herself as saw a blond figure exit the store, what a coincidence she was here too.

"Ah Nozomi" Eri greeted as soon as she notice her purpled hair girlfriend "Welcome back" Eri' gave Nozomi a quick peck on her lips, it was a gesture that usually did when greeting her girlfriends one that still had both Maki and Nozomi blushing whenever they were on the receiving of it. Somehow Eri had gain more immunity when it came to public affection, or perhaps it was the loving approval of both Eri's grandma and Arisa that encouraged the blond to be bold

"I'm back" despite her blush Nozomi held Eri's hand as they walked to their shared apartment.

"We're back" Nozomi and Eri called out as soon as they entered the apartment, it was a similar apartment Nozomi used to have, with the only difference is that it had a larger bedroom and bathroom, it was probably the only thing that mattered for the girls anyways.

Maki peeked from the Kitchen "Nozomi, Eri welcome back!" she greeted as she walked towards the two, she gave the two girls a quick peck then she reached for the plastic bag that Eri held. "Did you manage to get everything I asked for?" Maki asked Eri

"Yup it should all be there" Eri said as she remove her shoe and enter their small home "do you want some help?

"Sure" was all Maki said as she walked back to the kitchen.

"Ah I'll help too Maki-chan" Nozomi called out as soon as she settled her things from their room.

"No way" Maki bluntly replied.

"Eh? why not?" Nozomi asked with hint of whining.

"You just came from work Nozomi you're probably exhausted. You should relax" Maki explained "I have the bath ready for you as well, so you can do that while we cook"

"hnnn… but I want to help too" Nozomi pouted she knew Maki was right but still.

Eri chucked at the exchange "Maki is right Nozomi" Nozomi pouted even more she hated it when she was outnumbered by the two, regardless they were right and just wanted what was good for her but still. Oh well at least even now they were still spoiling her "Nozomi" Nozomi was making her way to the bath when Maki called her.

She walked up to the girl so ask what she needed "What is it Maki-chan?" Maki didn't say or explain anything however, she just pulled Nozomi in deep kiss, one that always made Nozomi's knees weak when Maki pulled back she whispered something to Nozomi "Be a good Nontan and I promise I'll give you a reward, okay?" Nozomi just blushed red and nodded honestly when did these girls became so bold, it used to be Nozomi who did the teasing but now she was practically always blushing because of them.

When Nozomi continued her way to the bathroom she heard a happy Khorosho from Eri, Nozomi shook her head to that. Some of Maki's boldness were probably influenced by Eri.

Dinner was good as usual, the girls talked and joked about anything they could think of. Eri was in the kitchen taking care of the dishes while Maki and Nozomi were at the table drinking some tea.

"Are you staying tonigh Maki-chan" Nozomi asked, as much as they would love to live all together Maki was still in high school, so her parents insisted on her living in their house until she graduates, mostly because Mr. Nishikino was not ready to let go of his darling daughter. It was shocking enough to know that his daughter had two girlfriends (Which he was proud of, saying that his darling daughter deserved only the best and that two gorgeous girls couldn't better) but when Maki asked if she could move in with them was just too much for the loving father. Of course Maki didn't take it so well, and after a few days of ignoring her father Mr. Nishikino gave in and allowed Maki to stay with Eri and Nozomi but only for a few nights a week and she would need to return home often. The arrangement will be like this until she graduated from high school, Maki would have protested again if Mr. Nishikino had not promised that he will give Maki a house for them to live in after graduating.

"Yea I asked papa if I could" Maki replied as she twirled her hair. "Just another year and I'll graduate then I wouldn't have to leave"

Nozomi reached for Maki's hands and reassuringly squeezed them "Maki-chan I'm looking forward to having you home every night too"

"Me too" Eri added as she walked up to Maki and give her a kiss "But for now we should prepare for bed"

Nozomi pout, "I hope you two enjoy your bath together" She had her fun with Maki in the bath the night before, but sometimes she wished they had more room so the three of them could go in together.

"Don't worry Nozomi we won't do much without you" Eri smiled and gave Nozomi a kiss on her head "Maybe our next place will have a bathroom big enough for the three of us" Eri said hinting at Maki

"I'll make sure of it" Was the last thing Maki said as she allowed herself to be pulled by Eri.

Nozomi smiled who knew she would be so lucky and have two amazing women with her, ever since the day Maki and Eri claimed to hers she felt nothing but joy and excitement. Nozomi always came home with someone waiting to greet her, her loneliness finally faded and it was replaced by two special people. Nozomi was content she felt whole with Maki and Eri by her side.

Doneeeee, well there's another story as an alternative ending where Maki ended up with someone else but it won't be up for a while. It's not going to be a NicoMaki
