Honoka once again found herself in town. It was Saturday today, and a nice sunny one at that. Honoka had actually planned to stay home today. But, a certain two girls decided to mess with that plan for today.
"Honoka, come on!"
"Yeah Onee-chan, hurry up!"
Today, Honoka was accompanied by the little-sister duo of Arisa, Eri's younger sister, and Yukiho, her own younger sister. Last night, Yukiho had told Honoka that she needed to come with her and Arisa to the mall. But she wouldn't give Honoka a reason, and just asked until Honoka finally said yes.
Honoka sped her walk a little to catch up to Yukiho and Arisa. The three of them soon made it to the mall.
"So, do I get to know why I'm here yet?" Honoka asked.
Yukiho shook her head. "Nope, not yet."
"Come on," Arisa said, taking hold of Honoka's hand. "Let's look in that store first!"
Arisa pulled Honoka excitedly to one of the stores before Honoka had any time to react. Yukiho laughed before quickening her pace to keep up with them.
Honoka looked around as they entered the store. It was another clothing store, but a bit smaller than the one she and Eri went to in town a few days ago. The three of them walked around, picking up a few different outfits. They never went to try them on, the two younger girls just wanted to look.
"Because we don't have much money," Yukiho responded when Honoka asked why they only looked.
"Yeah. This way we won't be tempted to spend anything," Arisa said, putting the shirt she just picked up back in the pile.
They continued walking around the store. A few minutes later, something caught Yukiho's eye on a nearby stand, and she hurried to it.
"Ah, Arisa-chan look at these!"
Arisa hurried over to join Yukiho. Honoka kept her pace and eventually joined the two younger girls.
"These are so cute!" Arisa said.
Honoka looked at what the they were looking at. It was a pair of bracelets, each one had two flowers as the main design.
Yukiho turned to Honoka. "Onee-chan, can you get these for us?"
"Why do I have to buy it for you two?" Honoka asked.
"Well.. we don't have enough for it ourselves."
"Well then-"
"Please?" Arisa asked.
To Honoka's surprise, both Yukiho and Arisa gave her pleading looks. She kept looking between the two of them, and eventually she gave in.
"Alright, alright. I'll pay for it," Honoka said.
Delighted, Arisa went to give Honoka a hug, catching her a little off-guard. Once Arisa had let go, the three of them walked to the front to the registers. Yukiho and Arisa put them on as soon as they were paid for
"Thanks, Onee-chan," Yukiho said as they walked out of the store.
"Yeah, yeah.." Honoka said, giving a small sigh.
"Don't worry, we'll pay for lunch," Arisa said.
"It'll have to be cheap, though," Yukiho said.
Honoka's stomach growled softly. She put her hands on her stomach. "T-that's fine. Can we eat soon?"
Yukiho and Arisa both laughed. Then the three of them started walking, Yukiho slightly ahead to lead the way. They ended up at one of Yukiho's preferred fast-food restaurants. Her reason was because of the amount of money her and Arisa had. Honoka didn't mind, just as long as they could eat. They got their food and sat down at a table.
"So Muse is going to the Nishikino beach house during the break?" Arisa asked as they ate.
Honoka nodded, putting down her drink. "Mhm. Everyone thought it would be fun to go again, but without having to do training."
"Sounds nice," Yukiho said. She took another bite of her burger.
"Yeah, I wish-" Arisa started, but she got distracted. She scooted closer to Yukiho.
"Wha-" Yukiho was about to say.
"You have a little sauce on your cheek. Here let me get it." Arisa took a napkin and wiped Yukiho's cheek clean.
"Ah.. T-thanks.." Yukiho blushed slightly.
"Of course," Arisa responded, giving a big smile.
"Hmm.. you two are very close, aren't you?" Honoka said, eyeing the two curiously.
"Well of course, we-" Arisa started to say.
Yukiho covered Arisa's mouth, "N-no, you're just imagining things."
"You two are dating, aren't you?" Honoka asked, a smile growing on her face.
Arisa finally managed to remove Yukihos hand from over her mouth. "See? I told you she would figure it out," she said to Yukiho.
Yukiho sighed. "I guess you're right." Then turning to Honoka, "Yes, Onee-chan. We are."
"And that's why you two wanted those matching bracelets that badly, huh?"
They both nodded. Honoka laughed a little, finding it a little amusing. However, Yukiho and Arisa's faces turned a little bit more serious.
"Well, since we're on this topic.." Arisa said.
"Onee-chan, what's going on between you and Muse?" Yukiho asked.
Honoka froze for a second once the question registered in her head. "W-what do you mean?"
"Well, we've noticed you have been spending a lot of alone time with the others lately," Arisa explained.
"They all like you, don't they?" Yukiho asked.
Honoka looked at them both in surprise. "...You could tell, huh?"
Arisa nodded. "Onee-chan has been talking about you a lot more lately."
"And they have been around our home a lot more recently," Yukiho added.
"Eheh, I guess it's pretty obvious, huh?"
Honoka let out a little laugh, and the other two looked at her curiously.
"You two have it easy," she said. "I have no idea how to handle this."
"Maybe you'll figure it out when you're with them all over break," Arisa said.
"All that time together might give you some answers," Yukiho said.
Honoka took another sip of her drink. "I guess you two are right."
"Just give it some time," Yukiho said. "I'm sure you'll come up with something."
"I think they'll all be happy with whatever you choose," Arisa added. "And we'll support you, too."
"Eheh... how weird to be given advice by my little sister and her friend.." Honoka said.
"Hey, you don't exactly act mature all the time you know," Yukiho said.
Honoka faked a hurt look before smiling again. "Still, thank you two. I was a little uneasy about the vacation, to be honest. But I think today really helped."
"Well, of course," Yukiho said, smiling.
Arisa nodded, also smiling. "Glad to be able to help you, Honoka."
Very peacefully, the three of them finished their lunch. They got rid of their garbage and left the restaurant. They started walking for a bit, before something caught Yukiho's eye. She looked to Arisa, a silent message being passed on just through the look. Arisa nodded, and stopped Honoka from walking.
"Honoka," Arisa said, looking to her with a smile. "Thank you for coming with us today."
Honoka shook her head. "I should be thanking you for helping me."
"Then..."
Honoka noticed a slight blush on Arisa's face. Arisa stepped closer to Honoka, causing Honoka to try and take a step back. Arisa caught one of her hands, pulling slightly to keep Honoka from moving. She then stood on her toes and with her free hand, brought Honoka's face a little closer to hers.
Just from the sudden actions, Honoka was half-expecting to meet Arisa's lips. But that never happened. Arisa held their faces inches apart.
"Shh.." she heard Arisa whisper to her.
"A-ah!" came a voice from behind them.
Honoka felt her mind blank, recognizing the voice. She saw on Arisa's face, though, a grin form. Arisa backed up a bit and stood normally, and Honoka slowly turned around. The entire day the thought never once crossed her mind. But now, standing a bit away from them, was the rest of Muse.
"W-what are you doing, Arisa?!" Eri's asked, her voice a little higher than usual.
"Hmm? I was just thanking Honoka for taking Yukiho and me out today," Arisa answered sweetly.
"W-what? Y-you three went on a.." Hanayo couldn't finish her sentence.
"No, wait, I-" Honoka wanted to explain the situation.
"That's right," Yukiho said, interrupting Honoka. She held up her left hand. "She even got us these bracelets."
Arisa, while grabbing hold of Honoka's left arm, also showed her bracelet toward them.
"T-that must be nice," Kotori tried keeping herself calm, and was barely succeeding.
Yukiho nodded. "It was, but you all would know too, right? You've seen everything we've been up to today, haven't you?"
A stunning silence seemed to grasp everyone. Honoka looked to her sister, then to the others.
"Wait.. you mean you all were following us?" she asked them.
"O-of course not," Nico said, crossing her arms.
"T-that's right," Maki said, starting to play with her hair. "We just happened to be here, that's all..."
"Y-yeah, it was just coincidence," Rin finished.
"If you say so.." Yukiho said, still with a smile on her face. She moved to Honoka's right side and hugged her other arm.
Umi flinched at the sight. "I think you two have had enough fun with Honoka today.." she tried saying evenly.
Arisa and Yukiho both held their smiles. They both slowly took a step back, causing Honoka to also step back a bit.
"Ara, what do you think you two are doing?" Nozomi asked.
"Well, our day with Honoka isn't over yet," Arisa said.
"Yup, so we'll be taking her, if you don't mind," Yukiho said.
"You all will get her to yourself during your vacation anyway, so it's no problem," Arisa finished before any of the other Muse could answer.
With that, Arisa let go of Honoka's left arm, and Yukiho turned, pulling Honoka along with her right arm. The rest of Muse stood there, realizing late that they fell into the little sisters' trap. Yukiho and Arisa, with Honoka being pulled along, left the mall.
Hey guys, nobodD here!
So? How was the chapter? Did it surprise you who it featured? X)
So, some of you were quick to notice my little shout-out to a certain author with the cafe in the last chapter. I'd like to give a more direct shout-out to the author NicoxMaki here. The suggestion for a chapter for Arisa quickly turned into this fun little chapter for both younger sisters! So here's my direct thanks for that idea :3
Don't worry, neither of them are included in Honoka's harem here. The ending was just Yukiho and Arisa teasing the rest of Muse. But yes, in this story (like most) it's YukihoxArisa X3
So, looks like we're returning to Maki's family beach house once again. It's time for more silliness and shenanigans with all of Muse X3
That's it from me, until next time~
