I am that male friend in the harem story

While their dinner was simple, which was just a sukiyaki, all Tobe needed to do was just mix various ingredients inside the pot, and pour the original sauce that he made; all the ingredients were luxurious.

Sana might not be good with household problems, but she had money!

When she came, she even bought A5 grade of wagyu beef that included the history of the beef from its birth till it was being slaughtered.

Fortunately, she only bought parts of the beef, specifically the most delicious parts, and didn't purchase the entire beef, as it was expensive.

If Tobe wasn't wrong, one wagyu beef should be able to easily buy a house or two somehow.

Sana might be a high-earning woman, and she might want to impress her new son, but even so, there was still a limit, okay?

"Shigeru..."

"Yes?"

"You are so lucky! Why didn't you tell me that your son is such a good cook?!"

"...the one who is lucky isn't me, but his girlfriend."

Shigeru also enjoyed his son's food, and sometimes, he even wished for his son to make a bento for him, so he could bring it to his work, but sometimes, it was impossible, okay?

After all, Tobe had many things to do, and he also couldn't stay at home all the time.

Then again, Shigeru also often stayed out late due to work, and many others.

A family was important, but sometimes, there were many things that one couldn't escape from, forcing them to sacrifice their family time.

If one could make money by staying at home all the time, why should one leave the house, right? Except for a trip, though.

"Ah... your girlfriend is so lucky!" Sana also knew that Tobe had a girlfriend, so the light novel-like development between her stepson and her daughter wouldn't happen, probably, unless her daughter forced herself on Tobe, like those hentai manga developments.

'No, no! Stop thinking like that!'

Whether it was her or her daughter, they were all otaku, and instead of thinking of the unique development between her daughter and her stepson, she should think of how to become a good mother.

"Here, take this. You can have more money."

"Mom, I want more pocket money, too!"

"Cook me something like this, then I will give you more pocket money."

"..." Hina.

Somehow, Tobe received more pocket money from his new mother. It felt weird, he thought, but he didn't refuse it.

"Still, the food is good. Thank you, Kakeru-kun."

"No problem, Sana-san."

"But, what's wrong with this tea?"

Whether it was Sana or Shigeru, they felt confused by the strange berry-like tea that Tobe had prepared.

"You don't like it?"

"No, no. It's just unusual for a tea to make berries, so I am curious." Sana twirled her glasses, staring at the small, dried berries that softened and became one with the tea. Usually, others would prepare dessert or something heavy, but this tea made her stomach comfortable and energetic somehow. "What's with those berries?"

"It's a goji berry."

"Goji berry?"

"Yes, it's for stamina."

"...." 3x

When those words were said, Shigeru, Sana, and Hina were silent, staring at him, who ate the berries like snacks before Sana took out more money and gave them to her stepson. "Can you help me buy more? You can have the rest."

Shigeru was fine, but if he were stronger, then wouldn't it be better?

"Sana!"

Yet, somehow, this part of Sana, while she wasn't like those normal mothers, who were gentle, demure, and loving, made it easier for her to make this new family be together.

"Don't be angry, Dear. I want you to be like a beast."

"...there are Kakeru and Hina-chan in front of us, you bitch!"

Still, facing Shigeru's cruel remark, Sana was somehow excited.

"..." Hina and Tobe.

The two of them let out a helpless sigh as they didn't really want to know the shape of their father's (mother's) relationship.

Regardless, Shigeru also had to admit that he had become healthier when he ate Tobe's food, and as her son had said, after he drank the goji berries, he could feel that he was brimming with energy.

"I know that it is strange to ask this, but are you going on a honeymoon?"

"It's not a bad idea, but let's see how it goes since we are quite busy with our work, too."

"Where did you work, Sana-san?"

"Oh, I am a politician."

"....."

Tobe glanced at his father, who nodded.

"...."

There were many things that he wanted to say, but let's forget them.

Yet, unexpectedly, Hina, who had always been staying on the corner, trying to be a background character, who stayed on the side of the true heroine, was unexpectedly the daughter of a quite prominent politician, which made him quite speechless.

Nevertheless, the two of them said that if Tobe could make a food that boosted stamina and made them healthier, then it would be good.

"...I will try."

Still, after they talked for a while, Tobe decided to return to his room, and Shigeru and Sana also went to their room.

"We aren't young anymore, so we will sleep early. See you tomorrow~!"

"...."

Were they really sleeping?

Even if Tobe became blind, he could tell what they were about to do, but fortunately, their room was on the lower floor, and his room was on the upper floor, so he had no need to hear what they were about to do, but then again, this should show how a couple maintains their relationship.

Sex, sex, and sex.

While it was animalistic and quite vulgar, two people could become closer with this activity. Their hearts might say otherwise, but when they continued to have sex, having their bodies become so close, their hearts would naturally grow, especially if the sex was incredible.

Only when he was in his room did he hear his door being knocked on.

"Kakeru-kun, can I enter?"

"Go ahead."

After Tobe showed his agreement, Hina pushed the door, but didn't enter immediately, and just poked her head inside as she moved her nose as if she tried to smell his room.

"...what are you doing?"

"I thought that you were like this."

Hina's words might appear ambiguous, but as she moved her hand in a stroking motion, Tobe stared at this woman in silence.

"Sorry, sorry! Don't get angry, okay?"

Hina quickly entered the room and then closed the door. "But isn't it a normal activity for a guy?"

"That's sexual harassment."

"We're brothers and sisters now!"

"Step-siblings, okay?"

"Onii-chan~!"

"...even if you call me cute like that, there are some things that you should and shouldn't do."

One should be angry at this girl, who kept saying one word to another, crudely, vulgarly, and even reaching the harassment.

If their positions were switched and Tobe asked Hina such questions, would it end like this?

Naturally, no.

However, as the older brother and the mature one, he knew that he should educate her instead of getting angry at her, telling her what she should and shouldn't do.

Only—

"By the way, they should be having sex now." Hina looked at Tobe with a mysterious glint and a lewd smile on her face. "Do you want to peek at them?"

"..." Tobe.

Taking a deep breath, he knew he had to educate her now.

"Sit over there."

"Ah, um."

Facing his gaze and absolute order, Hina was obedient.

Yet, as Tobe saw her excitement, he knew this girl was similar to her mother.
