Third-person Hoshino Ai
"Hehe... Hehehehe★"
Five minutes after Yume left the house, Ai got up from bed as if nothing was wrong and carefully moved to stand in front of the full-length mirror in her room, checking her body's condition.
Stroking her stomach with both hands, she smiled as if entranced by something, and her appearance, continuously caressing, resembled someone obsessed with something.
In the midst of this, she took out something from her bag, and that item was none other than...
There was a tool in her bag that could tell whether she was pregnant or not.
There was no way to know how such a tool ended up in the hands of a minor like Ai, but she stroked it slowly as if it were very precious, then quietly put it in her desk drawer and locked it with a key.
As if hiding something that must never be discovered by Yume.
After hiding the item, Ai lay back down on the bed as if nothing had happened, recalling the events of last night.
Even just thinking about it, Ai felt her body heating up, but she began to think deeply that she wanted to do such actions openly after being together with Yume.
Ai started to think that the feeling of love she hadn't experienced since childhood might be like this.
"Yes, that's right. I love Yume."
And no wonder...…
Because Hoshino Ai had never lied to Hoshino Yume even once since she was at the facility.
'But have I ever lied to Yume even once?'
That's right, Hoshino Ai changed the moment she met Hoshino Yume, who claimed to be her guardian at the facility.
She felt the love she didn't receive from her mother.
She felt herself becoming deeply happy inside from the feeling of always having someone by her side cheering her on.
And even if she lied, she was drawn again by Yume's words that he would believe in her until the end.
When she became an idol and joined the troupe Lalaly, meeting Kamiki Hikaru and learning to lie from him, she realized that if her feelings towards others were false, she would never lie to Hoshino Yume.
As a result, Hoshino Ai came to know the feeling of being in love with Hoshino Yume.
Actually, Hoshino Ai started planning all this since she was 14, and the person who helped with the plan was none other than Kamiki Hikaru.
Although she always observed Yume's actions, for this past year, she started to grasp Hoshino Yume more seriously, deeply, and thoroughly than ever before, and the result was yesterday's event.
"Hmm, honestly, I was going to lie naked next to Yume and make him take responsibility, but more than that... well, if Yume and I have a love child, it would be more fun to talk about it★"
Knowing that if she found out she was pregnant, he wouldn't get angry but would keep worrying, Ai had no hesitation in yesterday's actions.
Knowing Yume's personality better than anyone, Ai fell into a pleasant nap dreaming of the family that would come to her in the future, and her nap continued until Hoshino Yume arrived home.

First-person Hoshino Yume
Arriving home and opening the door, a sense of loneliness lingered, and thinking of Ai, who seemed to still be sleeping, I let out a sigh without realizing it.
I thought that whoever might take her, I hope it's someone who can firmly handle her my-pace attitude.
Although the birth of twins seemed inevitable, I thought it would be good if Ai could continue to live happily with someone good, other than Kamiki.
Seeing that lunchtime had already passed and it was almost time for dinner,
'It might be better to just eat out today.'
Conclusion: today is eating out.
"Ai, wake up slowly. How long do you plan to keep sleeping?"
Entering the room of the still-sleeping Ai, as I removed the blanket sticking out on the bed, there was
"Ehehehe... Yume, are you here?"
"......What are you doing?"
The sight of Ai in a posture like a cat purring when in a good mood appeared, and seeing my eyes gradually squint at that sight, Ai
"Nyaaah~★"
"From today on, just be a cat then."
Ai was being cute to me, but since this level of cuteness didn't affect me at all, I grabbed the back of her collar and lifted her up like a real cat.
".......Ehet★"
"We're eating out, so put something on and come out."
"Wah~!"
Before Ai comes out, I should decide what to eat roughly...
Even if I think this way, it's inevitable that Ai will eat what she wants.
"Yume, I'm all dressed~"
"I don't know about other things, but I wish you'd stop wearing my clothes all the time."
"It's not like we look alike, so what? And look at this, doesn't it look cuter when I wear it?"
"Sigh......."
Yeah, yeah, do as you please...
Although I always lose to Ai, it wasn't that bad, but I had a small worry that maybe I'm spoiling her too much.
Ai was wearing my shirt, hot pants as always, and even wearing the same type of hat and mask that I use.
We probably should eat in a quiet place....
This time, we went to a restaurant I sometimes go to with the company Director, not by motorcycle but by a car provided by the company.
After finishing the meal at the restaurant and returning home, we started the overdue housework.
Ai sometimes does the dishes, but for cleaning and laundry, I mostly do it, so after putting the piled-up laundry in the washing machine, finishing the living room and bathroom cleaning, and even the bath cleaning,
"Hey, Ai, go in and wash first."
"Uhh~★ It's bothersome~!!"
"Then I'll wash first, so when the laundry is done, move it to the dryer."
"Yes~!"
When given tasks, Ai does them well, so I entrusted it roughly and could bathe in the bathroom with peace of mind.
After finishing the bath and coming out, I saw Ai holding clothes to change into.
"Going to wash?"
"Yeah"
"Wait a bit, then we need to drain the bathtub first..."
"No, no, what are you saying! We should save~"
"Save?"
Really? It might be a bit much, but aren't girls her age sensitive about showers or baths.....?
Now that I think about it, since Ai always bathes after I finish, I thought she'd handle it herself.
Ultimately, with the thought that she'd handle it herself this time too, while Ai was bathing, I took out the laundry from the dryer, folded it neatly, separated Ai's clothes and mine, and placed them on the sofa.
This way, Ai would take her clothes to her room.
After finishing her bath, as always, Ai brought the hairdryer and plopped down in front of me, then
"Take care of me again today~♬"
"Yeah"
As always, I dried her hair. In a state where I never expected this daily routine to soon break, Ai turned 16 and I turned 20,
and the incident occurred.
