Chapter 40: Mutual feelings
Ayaka nodded in affirmation when Eli told her of that. She couldn't help but get excited when hearing it from the blonde, which caused Hanayo to chuckle amusingly seeing her girlfriend's cute, enthusiastic face like that. The wonderful, warm, and charming smile of Ayaka also soothes not only Hanayo but everyone else as they become captivated by that. They find it to be relaxing and comfortable to see.
"Yes, Nozomi-senpai, Eli-senpai! Even though we have only knew each other not so long, I like all of you and want to be together forever if possible. Maybe that sounds weird, but that what was I felt being around everyone here."
The words that Ayaka has said successfully capture the whole μ's girls' hearts, even more Hanayo that has her affection and love to Ayaka increased tremendously, as they felt their hearts' went *badump* and fluttering with a warm feeling of happiness. It sounds cute, lovely, and precious to hear those words from Ayaka for the whole μ's.
'C-Cute… why did she have to be so cute like that. How can anyone be so cute like this…?'
That was the whole of μ's girls' thought, even for someone tsundere like Maki and serious, dignified one like Umi, towards Ayaka and causing their cheeks to beet red. They really want to pamper that orange-haired orphan girl so much, which awakens the motherly and older sister nature of Nozomi, Eli, Kotori, and Hanayo. The latter is obviously because she is Ayaka's girlfriend and wants to treat the orphan girl with excessive care since they looked at that girl like the most adorable person.
Although Todokami Ayaka is no loli, they see her as such because of how honest, cheerful, and pure she is and how she cares about everyone here. Even Yazawa Nico, who has a petite figure and could be considered a loli, would have to agree with that viewpoint and opinion.
However, the center of attention, Ayaka slightly tilted her head in confusion, causing the girls to be captivated again by seeing the orange-haired orphan's adorable expression. Seeing their reaction and faces caused this girl to suddenly realized and thought of how strange the development went.
'Oh darn! Looks like I made them, even Hana, be in that state. Although it's nice that I could make them like that, it feels wrong… I am not having some kind of charm or similar things, right?'
She is sweating a bullet when thinking of that since there might be a possibility. One of many crazy possibilities that she could think of is the 'thing' she had between her legs that might leak out its scent, hormone, or whatever it has.
Although it's not. Ayaka is just overthinking it since, despite that 'thing' having a similar effect, it couldn't be capable of doing some supernatural or fantasy stuff like that. Unless she has some magic and stuff, that could possibly happen. After all, she is worried about nothing since her own charm; her beauty is the one who does that.
While looking at them, Ayaka let out a fake cough and tried to gain everyone's attention as she said something to them. That did gain their attention as they snapped back from their trance-like state.
"A-Alright, everyone. How about we finish our lunch soon or we will be late for our next class…?"
"A-Aya-chan's right! Everyone, let's just focus on eating our bento."
"Fufu, I have to agree with you both. Well, shall we continue to eat our bento, everyone?"
The rest of the girls nodded in agreement to Nozomi's comment as they continued to enjoy eating their own bentos. Some also share their bento with another, but the surprising thing is that everyone began to boldly slowly show off their affection and pampering Ayaka. Instead of jealousy, Hanayo felt happy that her girlfriend was being liked and that many people cared about her.
'Aya-chan have many people that care about her. I will make sure to treat her with great care, not only as a friend but also as a girlfriend. And… I think everyone in the μ's might be Aya-chan's new girlfriends and joining her harem. I couldn't wait for that to happen.'
The brown-haired rice-loving girl chuckled when thinking about that. She really supports her beloved girlfriend, and Hanayo would do anything to make Ayaka happy because she already knows what kind of person her girlfriend is, so she won't feel afraid that she will be forgotten because Ayaka won't forget about Hanayo.
'I really love you, Aya-chan. I really do. They also seem to share the same feeling with me.'
She chuckled inwardly again when thinking of that. Her hand held a chopstick with a piece of octopus-shaped sausage and fed Ayaka with it, which was accepted without much complaint by Hanayo's girlfriend as she enjoyed it.
Hanayo is really grateful to be with someone she loves and have her by her side. Ayaka also felt the same with her brown-haired girlfriend. Both share mutual feelings, even though the starting point is quite unique. However, in the end, even though they still haven't any date—the two girls could understand each other a bit better.
"How is it, Aya-chan? Does it delicious?"
"Uhm, yeah! It is tasty, Hana! Your cooking is good. But everyone is also the same."
"I'm more surprised that Honoka would cook something good. Her bento is be cooked by her mom, after all."
"Hey, Nico-chan! That is awful! Ayaka-san, Nico-chan being meanie again to me!"
"She doesn't mean it like that, Honoka-senpai! Don't worry about it. I'm looking forward to your own homemade bento! I'm sure it would be good!"
After that, they then spend the school's lunchtime until it's over. They had fun pampering Ayaka, which made the girl feel a bit uncomfortable and guilty since she got treated with such care from everyone. Though it's not like Ayaka would reject it, she was just overwhelmed by them. In fact, Ayaka loves it so much and wants to be loved by them.
