I am that male friend in the harem story

"Huh? Really?"

Yumiko's face reddened, and she looked shy, yet also a little happy as she looked at Tobe with a snort. "If you want to know, then just ask! I will tell you later! Go and focus on your class, Tobe!"

A woman was like this.

When they were praised for an effort they had made, such as their choices of clothes, a new hairstyle, and their makeup, it was natural for them to be happy instead of being praised for something they were born with.

Still, when Yumiko thought that Tobe asked this question for his girlfriend, it made her a little gloomy.

"You are such a bad girl, Yuigahama."

Yui stuck out her tongue cutely at Tobe's words. "You were the one who asked me, Tobe-kun." If it were before, she might not have done this, but as Tobe had led her into a bad guy, she felt closer to him, and she knew well that he wouldn't get angry at her due to a minor issue like this.

Still, without a doubt, she also understood that even if Tobe could apply Aiki into his way of life, it was quite troublesome to do it since everything had to be done in the roundabout way, but she knew well that even if he told her this way, it didn't mean that he would do this all the time since he was versatile and unlike her, a coward, he was the apex of a predator.

Did a predator need to be polite toward its prey?

If a reason existed as to why a predator was being polite, it was because it simply wanted to have fun, toying with its target in the same way a cat wouldn't kill a mouse until it grew bored with it.

Still, at the same time, Yui also understood why Yukinoshita was so obsessed with Tobe. With his smooth talk that gave off a mature, yet forbidden charm, she was sure that many girls would be obsessed with him.

No, she was sure that in her class, many were already wishing to be held by him as his lips pressed dearly onto their lips, marked them, then told them that he loved them.

"..."

As Yui let out a helpless sigh inwardly, she wondered why she had such a thought, but she was sure that many had such a fantasy inwardly, especially when Hayato didn't seem to have much interest in a relationship.

'Or is it like what Tobe-kun said?'

If Hayato didn't have an interest in a female, then it was understandable why he never accepted the confessions of any girls who were interested in him.

"—?!"

While Hayato wasn't sure, he felt a cold sweat on his back for some reason.

"By the way, Yuigahama, what did you think I said before?"

"Eh?" Yui tilted her head, then asked with a doubt, "You want me to become Yukinoshita-san's friend?"

"Yes, what do you think?"

"I don't mind." Yui nodded readily, then thought for a moment, realizing that Yukinoshita might not have a friend at all, but she knew well that it was rude to ask and if she was quite honest, it was quite normal for one not to have a friend, especially a beautiful girl, who was quite taciturn, and a little awkward like Yukinoshita.

"But... what should I do? Will you introduce the two of us?"

"No, if I do that, she might think that you are my secret lover or something."

"....." Yui was speechless. "She really loves you."

What could she say except for this?

Still, somehow, she felt curious and asked, "If somehow she finds out that you are cheating, what will she do?"

"...."

Watching his blank expression, Yui laughed awkwardly and quickly fixed her words. "I-I am just making an example!"

"...that example isn't funny."

"So?"

"So?"

"What will happen?"

"Well..." Tobe thought for a moment, wondering what Yukinoshita would do if she found out that he had cheated on her, but then he looked at Yui in doubt, and asked, "Do you think it is possible for me to get another girl after I date Yukino?"

"Well..." Yui hesitated, but she nodded. "You can."

"Really?"

"Yes." Yui looked around, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to the two of them, she whispered, "You know... our classmate wants to make a move on you even if she knows that you have a girlfriend."

"Who?"

Yumiko?

While Tobe was confused, Yui hesitated again, but in the end, she believed him. "Sagami."

"Oh, Sagami Minami?"

Naturally, Tobe knew who Sagami was since she was one of the heroines, but she was just a minor one, so he didn't have much of an interest.

"Yes."

"Oh."

"Your reaction is so flat!"

"My girlfriend is a million times cuter."

Compared to Sagami, Tobe still couldn't get enough of Yukinoshita's reaction, who sweetly cried under him as he held her waist and made her a soaked mess.

'No, no!'

He had to stop to think about a pervy thing, or else, he was afraid that his part would react.

"...."

Still, hearing his answer, while Yui was speechless, she was also a little jealous, as she could see that Tobe cared about his girlfriend so much that he tried to help Yukinoshita make friends.

However, Yui also didn't mind becoming Yukinoshita's friend, as she had to admit that Yukinoshita was so cute!

Nevertheless, Yui still asked, "So, you are not thinking of Sagami?"

Tobe looked at Yui, then asked, "Yuigahama, you have been confessed to by a lot of guys, right?"

"Well... Yeah."

While Yui might not appear like she was popular as she had always gathered around Hikigaya in the original story, many boys on the school confessed to her all the time since she was pretty cute and her boobs were huge, but she rejected all of them and used Yumiko as a shield.

"Then, have you ever thought of those guys after you reject them?"

"....." Yui.

So, was there a need to ask that question again?

Tobe didn't continue to talk about Sagami despite knowing that she was pretty cute, but frankly, she was quite mid-level. However, if Sagami were combined with her three friends, it would be different, since if one couldn't conquer with a quality, then one could only do it with a quantity, right?

Still, he couldn't help but look at Sagami, and she also happened to look at him.

Their eyes met, and he nodded and smiled softly, which made her blush and look away.

"...." Tobe.

"Are you really sure that you won't do anything?"

Tobe looked at Yui, who frowned as she saw their little exchange.

"Here. You can have this, so keep that a secret."

"Huh? Have you done your drawing?"

Yui looked at his canvas curiously, but was dumbfounded since on it was a picture of her, smiling sincerely, so beautiful.

"So beautiful..."

"So narcissistic."

Tobe stared at Yui, who praised her own picture, with a speechless expression.

"I mean the drawing!"

"Yes, yes, the model is great."

"Tobe-kun!"

"Eh? Have you finished your drawing?"

"Can you let me see?"

By then, everyone was curious, then startled as they saw the picture of Yui, who was drawn so beautifully by Tobe, which made him helpless as he tried to fix the misunderstanding, and she became a little shy.

Still, while the girls felt jealous of Yui, the boys wondered whether Tobe wanted to seduce Yui, too.

Nevertheless, when the break came, and Yukinoshita came, Sagami said cheerfully, "Yukinoshita-san, your boyfriend is cheating with Yuigahama!"

"..." Everyone.
