Chapter 46: I Will Definitely Marry You~!
For Satoru's heartfelt retort, Nia showed no mercy to her boyfriend and immediately rolled her eyes.
"I've said it many times, I'm not a lolicon. Although Muku is very cute, I won't do anything to her."
"I'm not talking about little Muku. Have you forgotten about all the other little girls? Like Tamae-chan, Little Shizuka, Hinako-chan, Keika-chan, Ashina-chan, and many more. Aren't these children even younger than little Muku? Yet you still reached out your claws to them?"
"Don't talk nonsense! I've never laid a hand on them! I just treat them like little sisters!"
Seeing that Nia had even started counting them off on her fingers one by one, Satoru's expression turned grim, and he directly chopped his hand down on Nia's head twice.
What a joke!
Those were just a bunch of troublesome little sisters, some not even ten years old yet—how could he possibly have any thoughts about them!
However, though the speaker meant nothing by it, the listeners took it to heart.
After hearing Satoru's words, the expressions of the young girls present began to turn peculiar.
Some of these names were familiar, while others they hadn't even heard of before.
This guy... is quite popular with little girls.
"Resorting to violence when called out—a man who commits domestic abuse is no good~ It seems that in the future, this onee-san will be completely replaced by those little cuties~"
Feeling the not-too-light, not-too-heavy force on her head, Nia didn't comply but continued to tease instead.
Although there was also a bit of helplessness mixed in.
Her ability was convenient, and she had looked into matters related to Satoru.
While she couldn't investigate him directly, if she wanted to know who was thinking about "Satoru," that was something she could manage.
What frustrated her was that the number was much larger than she had imagined.
Some were familiar, but others she hadn't even heard of!
Yet many of them harbored various complex feelings toward a certain someone—it could be described as quite subtle.
Why did she have to pick this kind of man...
Well, it's too late now; complaining about it seems pointless.
If she doesn't dwell on these small matters, this "family" can still carry on~
Moreover, the girls who hold affection for Satoru often possess pure "2D" souls, which makes her happy.
To be honest, she had wondered if Satoru might be a "galgame protagonist."
Why is it that all the girls around him are both approachable and rather innocent~
"You..."
Satoru shook his head helplessly, equally exasperated by Nia's attitude.
But there was nothing to be done; after all, Nia had always been like this from the past until now, and he was long used to it.
—It seemed that her joy came from seeing him in awkward situations.
Still, that part of her was rather cute, a bit devilish with a touch of onee-san charm...
But just then, Satoru suddenly felt a gentle tug on his sleeve. When he looked over, he spotted a small figure with golden hair tied in twin buns.
"Brother, do you hate Muku?"
"Uh... ahem, how could that be, Muku~ I like you more than anything~"
Hearing this statement and the worried, dejected expression on the girl's face—like an abandoned kitten—Satoru broke out in a cold sweat once again.
As an experienced otaku, he naturally understood the situation. Mukuro thought he didn't like her, so she was feeling hurt and starting to act cute and coquettish... Of course, she didn't intend it that way; her grievance and sadness were genuine, making it even more devastating!
"But, Big Brother, you said you don't have those kinds of feelings for Muku. That means you don't treat Muku as a girl you like."
"Uh, what I meant was, let's wait until you're a bit older to talk about this~ You're still young now, but once you grow up, I'll definitely marry you..."
"After Spirit transformation, the body stops growing, just like mine, so little Muku will always stay in her loli form~"
"Eh?!" xN
"..."
Nia, do you have to be so talkative right now?
Shooting an annoyed glare at the silver-haired girl gleefully watching the show, Satoru felt his headache intensifying. The excuse he'd painstakingly come up with was now useless, leaving him at a loss for how to respond.
"Big Brother, will Muku always look like this? Does that mean you'll never marry Muku??"
"Uh, about that... let's discuss it slowly later. Actually, once our emotional bond deepens, appearance becomes secondary~ Once our feelings reach that level, I'll definitely marry you!"
"Mmm~!"
"So in the end, young man, you can't escape your fate of being a lolicon~"
"..."
This damn girl, does she have to contradict him at every turn?!
