I am that male friend in the harem story

"Huh? Going home?"

Yukinoshita was surprised when her mother told her to go home all of a sudden, but as it was a weekend, and she also had nothing to do, especially when her boyfriend was quite busy, she didn't mind going home.

No, she just couldn't refuse her mother since she knew well how strict she was.

Yet, this also made her wonder why her mother wanted her to go home all of a sudden.

'Is it Nee-san?'

Did Haruno Yukinoshita, her older sister, tell their mother that she had a boyfriend?

Yukinoshita frowned, but she didn't think that Haruno was that despicable since even if her older sister wasn't a good person, Haruno definitely wouldn't cause her a problem, and she was sure that Haruno would keep quiet about her relationship with a boyfriend, and frankly, even if Haruno told their mother, she was perfectly fine with it.

When she thought so, she started to calm down and felt that there was no need to worry, even if her mother knew that she had a boyfriend. After all, she was serious about this relationship, and even if her mother knew, she would just admit it, as she didn't feel that her love toward Tobe was something shameful or even embarrassing.

Tobe's family situation was okay, and he was handsome, and more importantly, he was also smart.

Even if she had no support from their family, Yukinoshita had confidence in him, thinking that they wouldn't become poor.

As she thought so, she decided to clean up, but when she looked at her beautiful body tainted with many of his marks, her face reddened, and thought that her boyfriend was really perverted, yet she didn't hate it and the thought of what he did last night made her place became soaked, wet with lacivious juice that emitted a lewd scent.

Unfortunately, Tobe wasn't by her side, so she could only comfort herself with fingers in the bathroom, refreshed herself, then wore the reserved clothing that hid most of her skin, so her mother wouldn't notice the marks that came from his love.

Yes, nothing was wrong with her relationship with her boyfriend, but even so, she still had common sense and knew that instead of showing off, it was better to be low-key, so it wouldn't attract trouble.

Wearing clothes with high collars, and even pants, she let her hair fall on her back, hiding most of her skin. If it wasn't because of her religion, she might even put on a hijab as a cute reddish mark was on her slender nape, seemingly noticeable on white skin, making her helpless.

Still, as she had done her best, she decided to go to her parents' home with the driver who had been waiting.

Even if her mother asked softly like it was a request, Yukinoshita knew that she couldn't refuse, and if she was told to go home, then she had to go home, which showed how much prestige and power her mother had over her.

Yet, strangely enough, she wasn't afraid as before, and her posture was quite relaxed, as she just wished to see Tobe more, but she endured it as she was afraid to be mistaken as a needy and clingy girlfriend.

Based on her conversation with Yuigahama before, Yukinoshita knew that it was annoying to be bothered all the time, but at the same time, she hoped that Tobe's problem could be solved as soon as possible.

'New family...'

If she were in Tobe's situation, would she accept it?

Even if her mother was like that, her mother was still her mother, and naturally, she would look at her father in contempt if he looked for a new mother for her.

Then, what if her mother searched for a new lover?

Such a thought never crossed her mind at all since she knew well how strict and cold her mother was.

Regardless, she quickly threw away all of her messy thoughts when she arrived at her home. Despite being a prestigious and noble family from the Chiba prefecture, her home was designed in the modern style. It was large with many luxurious cars parked in the garage, but completely protected with tall walls that surrounded the area for security and privacy reasons.

'It's been a while...'

While it hadn't been long since she had returned home, she had to admit that it had been a while, too, especially after she met her boyfriend.

Still, as she looked at her home, it was said that her family also had an ancestral home, a huge one, but it had been sold in the past, and the once-noble family that had many lands had become just one among many.

Yet, her family was better off since many families had gone bankrupt, and it was amazing that her family could hold on until now, preserved to this day.

Inwardly, Yukinoshita wanted to do something for her family, but she knew well that, despite her good grades and impeccable appearance, she wasn't viewed in a favorable light within her family.

Shaking her head, she tried to throw away her negative thoughts, but in the end, she couldn't and just continued to think of Tobe, missing him, feeling at a loss, even though they had just met each other yesterday.

"Welcome, Yukino-ojousama."

"...don't call me that, Aunty."

As she entered the house, she was welcomed by the aunties who had worked for her family for so long.

"Madam has been waiting for you inside."

The aunt smiled and then told Yukinoshita's mother was inside.

"What about Nee-san?"

"She just went out earlier."

"...how carefree."

After entering the university, Haruno had been doing whatever she wanted, going on a trip by car, visiting many places, trying hard not to stay at home most of the time, yet this was normal since the pressure at home was high.

Yukinoshita also decided to move for this reason, after all.

"Welcome home, Yukino."

Still, when Yukinoshita thought to enter, her mother had already welcomed her.

Like her, their appearance was quite similar to each other, and their body shape was even more so, which made people outside wonder how Haruno was even born, considering her large chest, but unlike Yukinoshita, her mother had this mature, dignified charm that would make people tense when they saw her, or imagine how it felt to make her scream lewdly under them.

Regardless, all the women in the Yukinoshita family were beautiful.

"I am home."

Facing her mother, Yukinoshita became reserved and docile, unlike in school, where she was cold and unapproachable.

"It's been a while since you have been home. Is living alone really that comfortable?"

Yes.

Yukinoshita thought inwardly since she had no need to be troubled by her mother, but how could she say that?

"Anyway, come in. Have you eaten yet?"

"Ah, not yet."

"Then, let's have lunch together. It's been a while since you have been home, so I asked to make your favorite foods."

"Thank you."

Even if her mother was strict, Yukinoshita knew that her mother loved her and cared about her, but as expected, the pressure of living in such a family was immense, yet this was normal since the economic situation was at its worst, and everyone had to tighten their belt if they didn't want to go bankrupt.

Their family was fortunate since their father was a diet member, so their family's construction company didn't lack projects. They also had several properties in good locations, which could generate a stable income.

Yet, even so, it didn't mean that they could let their guard down; the wealthy family had always been trained to be careful, and had awareness of the danger since no one knew what would happen in the future.

Even the largest empire in the world, such as the Roman Empire, had been destroyed in the past.

Nothing is permanent.

So, people had to strive forward, or else they would go extinct.

Still, at home, facing her mother, Yukinoshita had a hard time relaxing, but even so, she didn't try to fight her mother.

"So, how is your school life?"

"It's all fine."

"How about your grade?"

"It's all perfect."

If Tobe were around, he would say that their interaction was like an interrogation, despite Yukinoshita's mother's tone, which was quite light and warm.

However, Yukinoshita's mother didn't care much about all of that since there was something that she had to say first. "So, did something big happen?"

"Something big? Well..." Yukinoshita sighed helplessly, thinking that Haruno must have told their mother about Tobe.

"Achoo!"

Haruno felt her nose was itchy.

"What's wrong? Cold?" Shiori asked curiously.

"Someone might talk about me."

"Narcissistic!"

Still, Haruno wondered whether someone had talked about her.

Was it Tobe?

Did he miss her?

Unfortunately, he didn't seem to chat with her, and even told her that he had something to do today, which made her feel helpless since she missed him and wished to be licked again.

"The truth is... I got a boyfriend."

Still, no matter what Haruno thought, Yukinoshita decided to be truthful to her mother.

"Boyfriend?" Yukinoshita's mother seemed surprised, even though she knew the truth. "Then, can you bring your boyfriend to meet me later?"

"Hmmm?"

"Achooo!"

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

On the other hand, Tobe and Hiratsuka, who had arrived in Katsuura City, quickly went to the famous ramen shop in the city, renowned for its trademark dish, Katsuura Tantamen, which is famous for its spiciness.

As Tobe suddenly sneezed, Hiratsuka thought that he wasn't good at spicy food since the scent from outside the shop was quite intense.

"No, it's fine. Probably, someone is talking about me?"

"That might be. You are popular, after all, or Yukinohita's mother might wish to see you." Hiratsuka laughed, then said, "If her mother wants to meet you, then you should cut your hair, or else, her mother might force you out of the city for seducing her daughter."

"....."

Tobe touched his long hair for a moment, and asked with a hint of nervousness, "It isn't so serious, right?"

Hiratsuka snorted, then just entered. "Hopefully, you will not be killed and thrown in Tokyo Bay."

"...."

Looking at the bright sunny sky, Tobe wondered why in every world, his life seemed to be in danger.

'Oh, it's my fault.'

If he weren't a scumbag, would this have happened?

Yet, no matter what would happen, he thought to have a good breakfast ramen to ease his mood.
