★Kamiya Suguru (side)

Things haven’t been going well at all lately.

Ai has been on Sano’s mind a lot lately, and on top of that, even Haruka has started talking to Sano.

I don’t get it, why is this suddenly happening?

I don’t like it.

I tried to go home with Haruka, thinking that I would try to prevent her from getting any closer to Sano.

She simply said it was okay and we decided to go home together.

However, no matter how much I tried to talk to her, she didn’t respond.

In no time at all, we arrived near the house.

Haruka said, “See you later.”

I impatiently said I wanted to go to her house.

When I was in junior high school, I used to go there often, and rather Haruka had asked me to come.

So of course I thought she would say yes, and I thought to myself, I did a good job.

But I didn’t expect her to say no…

I didn’t understand what she meant, and we argued.

Then the incident happened.

After I escaped, I went home and went to my room.

I am sorry to Haruka, but there was nothing I could do in that situation.

Of course, I regretted running away.

Thinking back, I wondered if there was anything I could have done, such as calling the police or asking for help from my neighbors.

Thinking about it, I fell asleep before I knew it.

The next day Haruka did not come to school.

I felt like throwing up when I imagined what was happening to Haruka.

There was also a rumor that Sano had been taken to the hospital for a violent incident.

Hearing that, I felt a little better.

I knew that Sano was Sano after all, and that the rumor was true.

When I arrived at school on Monday, Haruka was there.

I greeted her with trepidation.

Contrary to my expectations, she responded normally.

When I talked to her, she told me that after that day, the police came and she was saved without incident.

Moreover, she told me that I did not need to worry about what had happened.

I was relieved, because I had thought that I might not be able to talk about it anymore.

The depression I had been feeling for the past few days lifted.

But then Haruka kept talking to Sano.

Of course it wasn’t pleasant, but I was feeling good right now, so I was able to let it pass.

When I went to eat with Haruka during lunch break, she wasn’t there, so I asked Ai about it, and she told me that she and Sano had gone somewhere else.

I couldn’t take it any longer and decided to go looking for her.

I asked around and found out that she had gone to the rooftop.

Recently, she had just been in danger, and now Sano was next.

Sano was the one who caused the violent incident the other day, and I couldn’t let Haruka be with a dangerous guy.

I ran away before and regretted it, but I won’t run away again, I will definitely save her from Sano.

With this determination, I went to the rooftop.

For some reason, Haruka is protecting Sano.

She must have been told something, which made me even more irritated.

The chime rang, so I grabbed her arm and left.

She told me to let her go, but she didn’t resist.

This made it clear that Haruka was with Sano for some reason.

Suguru didn’t realize it, Haruka just didn’t want to be late because she was going back to the classroom when the chime rang and didn’t want to force herself to resist, and he didn’t think that the reason she was with Akuru was simply because she likes Akuru

Friday, the day of the test

“Haaa~, the test is over~”

Finally, the test is over.

“Akuruu~”

“Ah, Haruka, how was the test?”

“Ummm~, okay, I guess.”

“Why are you using the question mark, you should study harder, right?”

“Hehe, I know, I hope I don’t get a red mark.”

“Of course not.”

“Really?~”

In my opinion, I probably got 100 points in all five subjects, so I thought Haruka would be surprised when I got the results, but I wanted to see her surprised face, so I decided to keep it to myself.

“Ah, Haruka, can I go over to your house today?”

“Yes! Okayy! I’ll call mom.”

“Sorry, I really should have told you beforehand.”

“Don’t worry if it’s Akuru. I’m sure mom will be happy to hear from you.”

“Well, I’m glad to hear that.”

“So, shall we go together?”

“Yeah.”

I’ve been with her so much lately that I’ve forgotten about it.

I had forgotten that the three childhood friends were considered the three most beautiful girls in the school, and that’s why they stand out.

The boys are very jealous of me, but I’m getting a lot less hateful stares than I was at first.

Compared to the disapproving stares, the jealous stares are a lot better, of course.

We were talking about nothing else while leaving school, and in no time at all, we arrived at Nanase’s house.

“Sorry to bother you, Kaori-san.”

“Ara, I’ve been waiting for you, Akuru kun~”

Kaori san hugged me.

I was, well, I won’t say I didn’t feel embarrassed, but as a man I was happy to accept it.

It’s hard not to show it on my face, though.

“Hey, Mom! What are you doing!? Why are you even giving it to Akuru kun like normal!”

“Arara, Haruka, you’ve gotten along so well with Akuru kun you’ve started calling him that”

“Hey, don’t say weird things! Just let him go, Mom!”

“Fufu”

Kaori san then went to the kitchen.

“Hey Akuru! Don’t lust after my mom.”

“Hey, hey, what do you think I am?”

“Hmph.”

It’s kind of emotional to think that I’ve become such a good friend with Haruka that I can joke with her.

Well, it’s a little difficult not to lust after Kaori san…

We moved to Haruka’s room and we were reading a book.

According to Haruka, she likes Sara, and because of that she started to read lightly.

“Hey, Akuru?”

“What?”

“When is Akuru’s birthday?”

By the way, Haruka was so close to me that her arms were attached to my arms when she asked me such a question.

Because of this, I was not able to concentrate on my manga at all.

For reference, in my previous life I had quite a lot of experience with women.

But you know, Haruka’s cuteness is by far the cutest of anyone I’ve ever seen in a previous life.

I’d be thrilled, too, as expected

I pretended to be unconcerned.
“It’s June 25th.”

“It’s almost here.”

“It’s a month from now.”

“Are you celebrating with anyone?”

“Yeah, this year with my parents.”

“Hmm~, then, you can leave the 26th open and come over! I’m sure Mom will want to celebrate with you.”

“Eh? You’re going to celebrate?”

“Oh, of course. Well, not me, but mother.”

“Hmm~, so Haruka won’t celebrate?”

“I-I didn’t say that!”

Saying that, Haruka’s face turned red and she patted me on the arm.

“Then when is Haruka and Kaori san’s birthday?”

“Fufufu, don’t be surprised to hear that, it’s actually January 23rd for me, and January 23rd for mother.”

“Eh? It’s kind of funny that mother and daughter have the same birthday.”

Well, I knew that.

“So, my mom and I celebrate each other’s birthday on the 23rd.”

“Hee~, so you guys celebrate each other’s birthday?”

“Yes, everyone celebrates on the 24th.”

“Hee~, on the 23rd, can I join you?”

“Eh? Are you asking me the obvious?”

“S-sure. I’ll be there.”

“Y-yeah.”

After a short pause.

“Hey, do you have a crush on someone, Akuru?”

“Well, to be honest, I don’t know if I like anyone, but there are a few people I care about, I guess.”

This is not a lie. In my previous life, I was fond of the three childhood friends.

But there are some differences between the girls in the game world and the girls in this world, though not as big as Suguru

I am sometimes confused by these differences, and I can’t say that I really like them yet.

I don’t want to overlap the girlfriends in the game world with the girlfriends in this world.

Until I can confidently say that I like them in this world, I don’t want to say that I like them.

Well, if I had to say so, I would say that I like Kaori san because she was hardly ever in the game, so maybe I am at the level where I can say I like her.

“An important person~, hey, am I in it?”

“Yeah, if you’re not in it, I’m not going to sacrifice myself to help you out of desperation.”

“Good.”

At that moment, my lips became warm.

Yes, Haruka’s lips were on top of mine.

Our lips parted and we looked at each other.

I could see that our faces were turning red.

Then our lips meet again, and this time it is a deep kiss with tongue.

After a few minutes of lips on lips

“Both of you~dinner is ready, come here~”

I heard Kaori san’s voice, and we parted our lips.

We looked at each other for a little while and then turned our eyes away.

After a little time, we headed out together.

During the meal, I found myself unable to talk to Haruka to the extent that I was aware of it.

Kaori san was smiling as if she knew what was going on, saying, “Arara, fufufu”

In the end, we could not talk much until the meal was over.

When it was time to go home, Kaori san said to me

“Haruka~ see Akuru-kun off at the front door okay~ Fufufu♪”

“Y-yeah.”

Kaori san was clearly enjoying herself.

She went out the front door.

“”Hey!””

The timing of our voices coincided.

I gestured for her to go ahead.

“Y-You didn’t mind that I kissed you, did you?”

“Y-yeah, I was rather happy.”

“I-I see, well, that’s good, because I don’t know why you care about me, but I’m going to make you like me, I promise.”

“Yeah, be easy on me.”

With that, we both fell silent, and gradually our faces came closer and closer together, and our lips were on each other’s again.

This time it was a light kiss, just lips.

Both of us turned bright red and said to each other.

“Well then, I’ll see you on Monday.”

“Y-yes, see you.”

With that, we said goodbye.

After a short walk, I looked up at the sky, where the night breeze felt good.
