Chapter 58: Momo Yaoyorozu (2)

—

Like mother like daughter, Nejire never cared about privacy in either timeline, that only grew more in the current one since now she had a brother who she got to actively try her no-privacy games on.

When she heard Neji left for a Coffee shop nearby she wanted to call him back, as Kimi had suggested, however, curiosity got the best of her, like always.

She wanted to see who exactly was the person that had him so busy. There was a chance that it's Momo, but she was sceptical about this because when they had lunch at school, neither Momo nor Neji said anything about hanging out after school. Either they forgot, tried to keep it hidden, or outright it's not Momo at all.

With all this raging in her mind, she had opened the door of the room where the shop owner was forced to reveal that Neji was in. She came in cheerfully, as cheerful as she always is, however, just when her eyes landed on the… "couple" making out, her world took a spin.

What?

"NEJI!"

``Be careful of other girls. If you mess with them too much, they might go stabbing-crazy on you. Girls are weird like that.``

This was his first thought as he heard Nejire's voice.

He and Momo never kissed before. This was the first because they weren't just touching friends now, now they were a couple, a proper one. Yet just then...

There were moments in his life where Neji wanted to jump from a ten-story, this was one of those times.

This was a weird feeling for him. He has been previously been caught cheating in his last life, but he simply didn't give a fuck about the girls back then, so in the end, one of the girls went home crying. But this was different… he genuinely felt anxious as if his heart took a jump.

He doubted his sister would start stabbing him, but he still didn't have a good feeling about this.

At this point, he was sure Lady Luck was green-eyed. At first, he just thought the term 'Lady Luck's Boy Toy' was a mere joke for the sake of it. But if someone like Lady Luck did exist, then it's guaranteed she is a jealous bitch.

He immediately pulled back from Momo's mouth.

Momo on the other hand just blushed and cleared her throat. This didn't hit her as bad as it did to Neji. Nejire was simply her friend's- no, her boyfriend's older sister. It is a little embarrassing being caught like this, but it's nothing big, in fact, she must be happy seeing her brother finally getting a girlfriend, right?

She realised how wrong she was the moment Nejire walked to her and… landed her palm on Momo's cheeks.

...What?

Momo gulped in disbelief. What just happened? Did Nejire… the cheerful Nejire who never probably hit a mosquito just slap her?

"Stop, Nejire-nee!"

Her boyfriend stood up in front of her.

"It's not her fault."

What was he talking about? Why would it be anybody's fault? Two growing teenagers were making out, what's the problem with that?

"She asked me to become her boyfriend, and I... " He shrugged. "Didn't oppose. You know how I am already."

He muttered the last part, his tone implying something that Momo couldn't quite understand.

Momo looked up as Nejire glared at him, a scary scowl on her face.

"That's exactly the reason why I slapped her. You think I'd slap you, instead, then? May my hands break before they meet your cheeks."

Based on the cringey lines alone, they… didn't quite sound like siblings.

"Kimi was fine, she was there from the start, even before me, so I couldn't ask you to leave her for me, but now…"

Her voice was breaking with her expression twitching. Momo had a high IQ, but her EQ wasn't the best, however, even she understood what exactly was happening in front of her…

These two…

She didn't know what to feel, because a part of her didn't want to believe it, however, she spoke up.

"Neji, please explain what's happening… I am drawing things that I don't want to believe."

Her boyfriend stayed silent before sighing.

"Can we… leave this place first? I am sceptical about talking here."

Momo nodded slowly but Nejire seemed unwilling, but she didn't have a choice but to nod too.

—★—

When Neji returned with two beautiful girls by his side, Kimi didn't celebrate like she usually would. Because one of them was a visibly furious Nejire and the other was a Momo who had a hand mark imprinted on her face, Kimi immediately knew... whatever happened, it went downhill.

Fortunately, Midnight had walked away just barely a minute ago, but unfortunately, that didn't make anything better.

The three kids were silent for the first five minutes inside the car, Kimi didn't like the eerie silence at all.

"Guys."

Neji started with the girls sitting on either side of him. They turned to him just when Kimi also looked at his grim face from the rearview mirror.

Her gaze met with his, his eyes staring at the mirror briefly before he nodded so slightly that Momo and Nejire didn't notice, but Kimi sure did.

A great warmth of relief spread through her body because she knew what it meant.

'Well, I guess nothing to worry about then.'

At first, when he came to the car, it seemed this situation had caught even him off guard, but from the looks of it… he had already solved the problem inside his head.

"You are curious about what happened right?"

Momo nodded, but Nejire simply grumbled.

"Starting with Momo… basically, I am fucking my sister."

Silence fell in the car as Kimi almost choked at his direct approach. Momo stayed silent too, for the first five seconds at least, before she yelled.

"Neji! This is not a joking matter!"

"I am not joking," Neji replied. "Ask Nejire about it."

Momo turned to Nejire who didn't show an ounce of shame on her face. From the looks of it, he was right… whoa.

Momo didn't want to believe the conclusion she reached at the Coffee shop but… his statement confirmed it. A brother and a sister, two siblings, were in a sexual relationship?

What?

She didn't know how to feel about this. Normal people would have felt disgusted, but she wasn't normal. She was the princess of a rich high-class family, and she herself knew people with such backgrounds were anything but normal.

"For how long?"

She asked, holding a breath.

"Almost a year."

So… he was playing with her body for a year while he was already in a relationship?

She didn't want to talk about siblings being in a relationship, no, since she had no real meter to judge it. For example, the Royal Family of England still practised Incest so that their family quirk, "Decelerated Age" stayed on themselves. That's how Queen Elizabeth II was still alive till this day and age. Since such a famous family did it, she couldn't quite judge it… so, for the sake of argument, she took them as normal couples for now.

Going by this, he was living with his 'girlfriend', under the same roof, for a year now, and possibly doing all things a couple should do, yet he was enjoying herself too in the background?

What did he see as her? Some kind of side dish?

Momo is a quite hard girl to anger. She could barely recall the last time she got angry. However, right now, Momo Yayorozu was furious. No matter what, even if she was anything but prideful, she at least had self-respect…

However,

"Do you love her?"

Momo asked, doing her best to suppress her anger, and trying to sound as natural as possible.

"Very."

As expected, his answer only caused her fury to spike up.

"...Do you love me too then? Why did you agree to become my boyfriend, if not? And if you love Nejire so much, why were you cheating on her with me?"

"..."

Neji didn't have an answer for that, other than pulling the usual harem-Mc line.

"I love you too. I love the both of you."

"Neji!"

However, this time, it backfired as Nejire yelled at him.

He might have gotten a chance to put things in the right place if he got the chance to talk to them individually, however, with both of them here together at the same time, it was nigh impossible to go forward.

He was hanging from a cliff.

"So you're saying," Momo continued. "You love the both of us?"

It sounded absurd, it sounded like… a lie. But all her time with him, her best friend, and now her boyfriend, flashed by her eyes. Even Momo could tell there was not even an ounce of acting present, he really enjoyed his time with her, so was he really lying?

Momo decided to take a step further.

"Does Nejire accept sharing you with other girls?"

What was Nejire thinking exactly?

"..." Neji wanted to answer truthfully, but then he'd need to reveal Kimi. That'd just worsen the situation even more.

Luckily, this time, his sister got his back. "I don't mind – as long as – they are approved by me and… well, another person."

Momo was curious about the 'another person', but she was smart enough to realise they won't say her name, so she purposefully ignored it.

The other person was Kimi, Nejire realised talking about Kimi won't do any good either, even if she did accidentally talk about her once in the Coffee Shop.

From his sister's answer, Neji reckoned that they both secretly agreed on something like this after the Ryukyu incident. Nejire did say she didn't mind Ryukyu joining the harem, so she can't be a hypocrite and say she minded girls who Neji or Kimi liked, that'd not be fair. So they decided to talk out any next member for their "Family", not harem, but "Family". Well, Kimi barely mattered on this as she was fine with anyone joining the "Family".

Momo went over Nejire's words again, 'As long as they are approved by me...'

A question popped up in her mind.

"So you're saying you don't approve of me?"

Momo asked directly to Nejire, whose face went through colours of uncertainty.

"It's not that I don't approve of you…" she finally said. "It's that I hate Neji making girls fall in love with him who would be unwilling to share him," Nejire commented. "If there is a person who Neji says he loves… even if I don't approve of her, I have no power to stop her from coming inside this 'Family'. That's how it is, he is the leader here, even if I act otherwise."

She didn't want to see Neji sad, both as a sister and a lover. Her weak heart couldn't allow that. More so, she just said she didn't mind people joining their "Family", so it made even more sense to Nejire.

"You love him right?" Nejire asked Momo. "I am sure you do, you have that glint in your eyes. But… are you willing to accept sharing him with me? His sister?"

Momo had no answer. Of course, being a girl from a hyper-rich family, Nejire at least had some ideas about how she was taught manners. She won't share her man.

"The answer is no, right? That's why I am angry." Nejire knew about it. "Not only is he falling in love, but he is making girls fall in love, the girls who would never join his so-called harem-"

Momo's voice, filled with a strange thrill interrupted Nejire.

"I don't mind."

"..."

Nejire was forced to stop.

She didn't mind? Nejire was confused, however, Momo herself was unsure. Neji was her friend, the greatest friend she ever had, and while she almost assumed she was a side dish, that's clearly not the case considering he was courageous enough to say, "I love you too." In front of his other lover. He clearly wasn't just using her for her body, and maybe, even was holding back from dating her only because of Nejire, too. That alone was proof enough how loyal, even if in his own twisted way, Neji was to his girls. And frankly, after a series of considerations, Momo didn't see… a problem with that.

"I… if it's Neji, I don't mind…" Momo blushed. "He is more than a friend, and we have already touched each other almost everywhere… It's just sharing, more so with you, if you didn't know… you are my 2nd friend, just after Neji. I don't actually mind sharing him with you."

Nejire had many things to say, she wanted to question her logic, she wanted to listen to her words another time, however, she simply parted her lips and stared at Neji.

"You… tell me you're not using one of your magics on her."

"I am not."

Neji replied, honest as water, his smile told her enough of that.

Nejire slumped on her back and covered her face.

"My God… what's wrong with the girls around you…"

That included herself too, but she ignored that fact.

"Then, Momo, final query," She raised her finger at the driver seat. "Mr. Harem Protagonist fucks her too."

"..."

Now this, this inquired Momo's attention as she frowned.

—

Before things could go out of hand, and since Momo had already accepted her position, Neji simply knocked her out with his fingers.

"Are you angry?"

Nejire sighed at the question and clasped his cheeks. "I am not… just… don't bring girls who I don't get along with. Momo is a nice girl, not nice enough for me to allow her here, but still nice. More so, this is your 'harem', not mine, so… well, congrats, I guess. You got a hot one."

She was mad.

Neji was standing outside the car, an unconscious Momo in his hands, sleeping. The night sky lured above them as Nejire walked back inside the car.

"Take care of her tonight… do whatever you want, but make sure to get to school on time. Goodbye."

Neji was standing outside Momo's mansion as he watched the car drift in the distance.

Lady Luck was jealous, but it seems she also couldn't see him in stress.

Author's Note: I tend to go to extremes when it comes to Harem. I somehow avoided the drama of 10 chapters this time around 🤣. You can thank @Lasagna and @Antigone for that.
