I am that male friend in the harem story-Chapter 247: The Noise
Located near the inn where they stayed, Ibara led them to the popular hot spring in the area. While she might say that it was popular, there weren't any people, showing the depopulation of the countryside, yet because of that, they could monopolize the hot spring.
"The price is a bit steep, though."
"Don't blame them. If not, then this hot spring will cease to exist."
"Well, if you say it that way, it will be a shame."
As the hot spring was divided into different genders, it was natural that Satoshi and Oreki entered the same area.
Only Oreki realized how reckless his decision was, especially when he saw Satoshi's serpent.
As they entered the bath, it was natural that they would become naked, and while it felt inappropriate to some people in many areas, it was the culture of this country.
Neither Oreki nor Satoshi cared much, but Oreki's thought quickly changed when he saw that Satoshi's growth wasn't only on his height and mind, but also on his lower body, too!
"You... how did you grow it?"
Oreki might not have such a strong interest in that area, yet he couldn't help but ask Satoshi, since, as a man, how could he not be interested, right?
Frankly, if someone knew about Satoshi's specs, Oreki was afraid that Satoshi could become a stud, whose job was to impregnate others, so the country could have a lot of talented citizens, as all of his children would definitely inherit his genes.
"Growth spurt."
"..."
Satoshi's simple answer left Oreki speechless, but what would be the answer except this?
After all, it was impossible to improve the length of that area with a surgery; while it was possible, the danger was high, and Satoshi was just a student. Even if he had money, it was impossible for him to spend his money to improve that part of him, right?
So, did Satoshi meet a black magician who could help him to improve that part of him?
As Oreki kept thinking, Satoshi just walked toward the hot spring pool, dipping his body into the gentle warmth of the water as he looked at the view of the mountain that could be seen from a distance.

"It's so comforting..."
Satoshi sighed in comfort as he thought it might be good to bring his girlfriend to the hot spring town or something.
Regardless, soon, the number of people also increased, and soon, they marveled at Satoshi's magnificent muscles and manliness.
"It's so huge!"
Yet, as that shout was heard, the girls, Chitanda, Kaho, Ibara, and Irusu, also entered the bath, which was located just right on the side of the men's area of the bath.
"Did you hear that, Eru?"
With only a white towel covering her lithe and beautiful womanly body, Kaho took off her glasses and put her braid on her chest, looking at Chitanda. She had heard someone screaming from the side, and knowing Chitanda's heightened senses, she wondered whether Chitanda had heard what the scream was all about.
Chitanda, with a red face, nodded and said shyly. "I-I do."
"What was that scream about then?" Irusu asked as she removed her panties from her beautiful feet.
Only, Ibara sighed helplessly as she looked at the childish body.
Regardless, being watched by the three as they waited for an answer, Chitanda, who wasn't good at lying, could only mutter, "I-It's big..."
"What's so big?" Ibara asked with confusion.
"F-Fukube-san's..."
"..." 3x
Kaho's expression somehow became distorted as she quickly walked out and shouted, "Satoshi, don't let them see yours! That thing is mine!"
"K-Kaho-san! You shouldn't shout like that! Also, cover your body with a towel!"
"No, I won't give him to anyone!"
"...." 2x
Ibara looked at Kaho, who had fallen so deeply for Satoshi, then looked at Irisu. "A-Are we going to do this, Senpai?"
"If you want to chicken out, then it is fine. You can watch it, though."
Even if Kaho loved Satoshi, so what?
Irisu felt that her feelings were never lost to Kaho, and unlike Kaho, who was clearly so selfish, she didn't mind following Satoshi's selfishness due to how much she loved him.
"I-I want to do it, too!"
Ibara couldn't wait anymore, and she knew that it was her chance to be together with Satoshi. The time they shared together was quite long, and they had done many things. He even licked that part of her!
This time, she wanted to go all out.
"Then, you have to help me. Make me the main one."
"Okay."
The two held each other's hands and made up their minds.
"But... he is so big, can he fit on me?"
"You don't have to worry. He is good at this, so you will enjoy it a lot~!"
Watching Irisu's lewd smile, Ibara felt her body shivering from anticipation of what she would do with Satoshi tonight.
Yet, as they talked, they didn't realize Chitanda's gaze on them. Her gaze on them was quite conflicted, yet even if she wasn't good at lying, she knew that she had to do her best.
"So, what's wrong, Eru?"
"W-What do you mean, Kaho-san?"
Chitanda almost loses her calm when Kaho asks her this question.
As the two entered the bath together, they faced each other as Kaho couldn't help but question her doubts.
"Well, you seem to be at a loss, so I wonder whether you have a problem."
"No, I am fine..."
"Really?" Chitanda's answer makes Kaho even more worried. "You are my childhood friend, after all, so if you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Kaho-san..."
The more Chitanda receives Kaho's kindness, the heavier her guilt becomes as she has been hiding something from her dearest friend, yet even if she had this guilt, she couldn't express what she truly thought since, inwardly, a certain immoral expectation was also born within her heart.
"But if you like Satoshi, then please give up, okay?"
"..."
Watching Kaho's deep eyes, Chitanda could only show an awkward smile as she let out a helpless sigh, thinking that despite how peaceful this place was, her heart was far from being tranquil.
"Your girlfriend really loves you so much."
Meanwhile, on the male side, Oreki couldn't help but say that to Satoshi, who appeared to be in a daze, clearly ignoring the rowdiness of his girlfriend, who made a lot of noise in the next bathroom.
"It's good, right?"
"...isn't it a trouble?"
"If you love that person, everything about that person is charming."
"...is it?"
"It is."
"I don't think that I will ever have such a feeling."
"You might not be now, but in the future, you might be. Love is a wonderful feeling, after all, especially when you meet the right person, who can treasure your feelings." Satoshi then looked at Oreki and said, "Even in the romance novel, you can see that people will die from it, right?"
"...well, yeah, but isn't it scary? To lose one's mind just because of love." Due to Satoshi, Oreki had read many romance stories, and it was also because of that that his view toward love became even worse, as he felt that it was the source of destruction. "To die because of love, I can't understand that."
"Me too."
"Really?"
"Yes." Satoshi nodded and said, "Since instead of drowning myself in the love as I just lament on my life, I want to get everything, whether it is a good life and love."
If there was a reason why he didn't understand the romance novel, it was how those characters who had fallen in love appeared to be such decadent characters, as if they had given up everything for love.
"In my mind, love should be a power to help one to work harder, and if you love that person, instead of wallowing yourselves in the cruel and helpless fate, isn't it better for you to work harder, so you can have a proper and a happy relationship."
"That might be, but the reality isn't so easy, especially with our situation."
"I can't deny that."
If there was a reason why he could be confident, it was because he had the system, but for people who had no such thing, it was impossible to be confident. No, they could be confident, but there was still a limit, as it was impossible for one to be positive all the time.
"Love is complicated."
"You are right."
In the end, there is no right or wrong answer to these emotions; sometimes, they give people strength, yet at the same time, they also kill people.
Still, without a doubt, Satoshi knew that he was a scumbag, yet even so, he couldn't change and what he could do was to treasure them in his own way since once again, if he tried to be fair, then it would be unfair for those women that he had made on the world of Kaguya.
Rubbing his temple, he thought that he shouldn't think too much since, as long as one wished for the happiness of others, wasn't that love?
Yet, this also made him realize that instead of just confessing to someone to get a reward from the system, it might be better for him to learn about that person slowly before he made up his mind to confess his feelings to someone so as long as they were a heroine, so that way, his feeling wouldn't appear so cheap.
As he thought so, it was time for them to leave the hot spring and prepare dinner. All of them decided to prepare it themselves. The trip was already free, so how could they bother the family of Ibara's uncle? So, together with Ibara's cousin, all of them cooked together, yet at that moment, they realized how lucky Kaho was.
With a shining knife in his hands, Satoshi showed his true form.
"Let me handle the cooking."
