I am that male friend in the harem story

Tobe thought that Yukinoshita would go back to her class immediately, but unexpectedly, she visited his class and talked with Hina.

Yet, what did they talk about?

Should he stop them from talking?

Then again, even if he could stop it later, Yukinoshita would definitely approach Hina, since, whether one wanted to or not, it had to be done, since the change in his relationship with Hina was just too staggering.

Previously, they were just classmates, but then, somehow, they had to live in the same house.

Moreover, it was also yesterday.

If somehow the position was switched, like Tobe became a female, and Hina became a male, the situation would hardly be called sweet. Instead, it was an ugly one as it was fully driven by their desire instead of an intense emotion that was far from pure or even right, which was completely different from how he was with Yukinoshita, who gave him a proper confession.

More girls, for the rewards of the system.

Frankly, Tobe had had enough of this since it felt like he was the slave of the system, or simply the slave of a desire.

It shouldn't be like this, but as everything had happened, it was too late for him to change, especially when he thought about how everyone was under the same situation, unfair, which made him think that if the others received such treatments, then why should he treat the other differently?

Then again, if he couldn't get a girlfriend, could he leave?

While the beginning of the story was kind of nice, as he was given a chance to change everything, somehow, along the way, everything had changed into something ugly, where he became like a mindless beast who greedily ate everything on the whole planet, which killed everyone.

His belly might be full, and he might be satisfied, but was standing on the top, overlooking everyone like he was the mightiest being, was the one that he sought the most?

'Well, I can say this because I am not in as much of a hurry as before, after all.'

With all of his abilities, he could do anything that he wanted to, and he felt nothing could stop him, but when was enough?

When was everything going to be over?

He thought so, and it felt like, on his way to reaching this point, he forgot many things, but more importantly, he forgot about his heart and just faithfully followed his lower body.

Was it wrong?

No.

Nothing was wrong with that since everyone had their own ways, and if one was satisfied with that way of life, it was all fine on its own, but he didn't feel good with how he was since exposing everything to the one that had given their everything to him, telling them that he had been disloyal to them, betraying their feelings, was uncomfortable for him no matter how many times he had done it.

Yet, even so, he still continued.

Why did he do so?

It was because he thought this was the only way for him to repent, especially when many of his women in the world of Kaguya, but he forgot that this wasn't the world of Kaguya, and each situation was different from another.

Unlike in the world of Kaguya, where he had to be standing on the top since the heroine was the daughter of one of the most powerful men in the country, in this world, and even in the world of Hyouka, he had no such problem, his beginning was more or less normal, and even above average, so why did he have to be disloyal?

"What's wrong?"

As he thought so, he approached them, wondering what they were talking about, even though his heart was beating.

"It's nothing."

Yukinoshita's expression was hard to gauge as he stood behind her, and her long hair hid most of her features. "I was just talking. Right, Ebina-san? After all, I am just curious how you two became stepsiblings."

"....." Everyone.

"WHAAAAAAAATTTT?!"

Everyone who had been curious but couldn't approach, as Yukinoshita's aura was too strong, was dumbfounded, never expecting that Tobe and Hina would become stepsiblings.

Yet, Hina couldn't really talk about anything, as she was sober at this moment. All of the pleasure that she felt and the intense emotions that she had before had disappeared, and what was left was an intense fear like that of a prisoner who was about to be punished to death.

Even though she had told Tobe before that it was better to keep a secret for a while, he didn't think that it was good to keep it a secret since... was there anything with the change in their relationship?

Everything was for their parents, as they wished them to be happy, and due to that situation, they had become a family, so was there anything embarrassing about that?

After all, no matter what they did before, in the end, in the eyes of the world, they were nothing but a teen, a group that wasn't mature and needed to be protected by an adult till they reached maturity.

This was why he didn't agree with Hina's plan to hide everything.

Still, while he was calm, as he was prepared and was used to everything, it was a different case with Hina, as she didn't say anything, and her face was as pale as the paper.

However, her inconvenience, complexion, the changes in her features, everything.

Even if Yukinoshita didn't ask, everything was clear to her eyes as long as she observed her further, and this feeling that was somehow born in her heart, making her feel like an urge to kill someone, so ugly, yet she couldn't stop it till her lips were kissed.

"..." Yukinoshita.

"...." Everyone.

"Let's go."

"...um."

Before the words that came out of her lips were expressed, Tobe quickly kissed Yukinoshita's lips, knowing that once she spoke, nothing could be done, as he didn't even have the ability to rewind time. He grasped her hand tightly, and she let him pull her.

It was late, he thought.

Were those who dated one woman less happy than those who dated more?

Or did it make them less men than those who dated more?

No, right?

Then, why did a harem even exist?

Why did it even exist in this world where the majority of men didn't have to die anymore, leaving behind women, who couldn't fend for themselves?

If there was one reason that he could pick, it was because of happiness.

Not just the man himself, but all the women who wished to be with him.

Being with the man was their happiness, and the man himself wished for the women to be happy, thus a harem.

Yet, what did he do?

He just followed his lower body, or searched for more reward for his systems, yet if he just settled with Yukinoshita and controlled himself, would it make him less unhappy?

So, to make up for his weak feelings, he just continued to make excuses one after another, and realizing everything too late, at the place where they met for the first time with a gentle sunlight that entered the clubroom, despite the sound of the ringing of the bell that told them the class had started, he bowed his head and said, "I am sorry."
