I am that male friend in the harem story-Chapter 248: Be better!

"..."

No words, noise, or other distractions.

Instead, all that existed in this room was a quietness as they enjoyed Satoshi's cooking.

This time, instead of making traditional Japanese food, Satoshi made Italian food, including the dessert.

"...you are so lucky, Kaho-nee."

Even though Rie was still young, she understood that Kaho, who was Satoshi's girlfriend, was such a lucky girl, especially when not only handsome, but also able to cook well!

While, due to her young age, the capacity of her stomach was limited, she continued to eat the carbonara, pizza, tiramisu, and other dishes cooked together with Satoshi as the lead.

"Right?"

Kaho smiled as she leaned on Satoshi's shoulder, linking their arms, showing how much they loved each other.

"....." Everyone.

Yes, they knew that they were dating, yet even so, they had to admit that it felt so uncomfortable to see them acting so chummy in front of them.

"Do you often cook those Western types of foods, Fukube-san?"

Chitanda couldn't stop her spoon, yet even so, she couldn't help but ask.

"I often tried many things."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"What is the best food?"

"The best?" Satoshi thought for a moment, then said, "It might be subjective, but I like Chinese food. It's colorful, full of spices, and delicious."

"His spicy mapo tofu is delicious..."

Thinking of the Chinese food that Satoshi had cooked before, Kaho started to salivate.

"..." Everyone.

Watching Kaho speechlessly, was it wrong of them to hate her now?

Even Rie and Kayo looked at Kaho with tears, thinking that Kaho was so unfair!

Yet, as Satoshi was by their side, it might be hard for them to be satisfied with just a normal man since, if possible, they wanted to have someone at the same level as him, or slightly below, they thought.

"What about the worst one?" Oreki asked curiously.

"The worst? Hmm..."

What was the worst type of food?

Satoshi thought for a moment and said, "I can't say that it is the worst, but I don't like those types of foods that lack spices. Such cuisines are from a cold-temperature location that lacks spice."

"Such as?"

"England? But it will taste better if I am the one who cooked it."

"Ah, have you cooked English cuisine, Satoshi?" Kaho asked curiously since she had never tried it.

"I did before."

"Then, I want to try it, too. Can I?"

"Sure, later, since it is hard to get the ingredients here."

"....." Everyone.

Sighing, they felt like Kaho was showing off her boyfriend, but what could they do?

Having Satoshi as a boyfriend was nice, they thought.

He is handsome, good at cooking, has a good body, and has a large object on his lower body, and he is amazing in bed. They were also smart and good at making money.

So, as long as they were a normal woman and didn't like the same gender, it was natural that they would love Satoshi.

To be honest, it was quite hard to see how chummy they were, yet this is how they were.

As a boyfriend and a girlfriend, wasn't it natural for them to be so close?

"Do you want more tiramisu, Kayo-chan?"

"Ah, um, yes, thank you, Satoshi-nii."

While Kayo was a little shy, she thanked Satoshi happily.

Still, as everyone enjoyed their dinner, Satoshi thought of going to the hot spring again. "I will go to the hot spring again."

"Can I join?"

"There is no mixed bath. Just wait here."

Rubbing Kaho's head softly, Satoshi looked at his girlfriend with a helpless smile, then left.

Only, Kaho pouted, wishing to go to the hot spring with him together, and if possible, she wanted to enter the same bath. Unfortunately, no such perverted bath existed in this place, so she could only sulk and stay with the girls. Still, she wondered whether there was really no chance of her staying with her boyfriend and having fun at the inn.

'Well, even if it's impossible, I can do it when we go back.'

Her parents might have returned, but the land of her shrine was immense, so they could go to many places to have fun, as many places were hardly visited by people.

It might be immoral to do such an activity with him in the shrine, yet it was so enjoyable~!

Meanwhile, Satoshi went to take the second bath, enjoying his alone time as he watched the starry night. The lack of light made the stars even brighter and more beautiful. Still, it would be even better if he could bring all four women together in the bath, he thought.

"...what am I thinking?"

Scooping the hot water with his palms, he rubbed his face, making himself feel comfortable and warm all over. It felt nice, he thought. For others, the act of taking a bath was just a chore, something troublesome, but for him, it was enjoyable, and he always looked forward to the time to do it.

Still, was it wrong of him to look forward to what Ibara and Irisu would do later?

Would he have his threesome in this world?

Yet, this was also dangerous since if Kaho somehow found out what had happened, what would happen?

Satoshi wanted to do something, yet somehow, he had to say, his feelings were quite similar when he dated Onodera as Ishigami. His feeling wasn't that of an intense love, yet as Kaho was beautiful and he was used to her presence, it was impossible for him not to feel anything.

Still, even if Kaho knew what would happen between him, Irisu, and Ibara, he felt that it was okay, too.

Rubbing his face once again, he realized that he had messed up. Instead of focusing on his feelings, he was the same as before, only thinking about the reward of the system and dating women without caring about his feelings.

"Somehow, it's like working."

Yet, this is what made him quite frustrated. "Love shouldn't be like this, right?"

Love should make his heart hot; it should make him excited and look forward to every moment that he had with the one that he loved, yet at this moment, his feelings were passionless and boring.

Instead of slowly learning the women carefully before he decided to confess, he just went from one girl to another to get rewards.

While Satoshi knew that he had done this because it wouldn't be fair for the women in the world of Kaguya, did he even have to do that anymore?

Unlike in the past, when it was necessary for him to date as many women as he could so he wouldn't be killed, considering how powerful the family of his women was.

Was it even necessary for him to do that now?

Shouldn't he just search for someone whom he could sincerely entrust his feelings to, rather than date as many women as he could for a reward?

Was he such a greedy person?

Was there a need for him to repeat what he had done before?

Instead of having many precious heroines experience the pain of being betrayed by him, he should just go after one heroine and treasure her dearly, living a happy life.

Like how the people who experienced war didn't want their descendants to experience the same thing, he should aim for the same. Instead of having all heroines experience the same pain of being betrayed by him due to his greediness, he should have been a better person and just looked for the one he loved the most.

Still, what if the same thing happened?

If that was the case, then well... the answer was simple, yet at this moment, as he had messed up everything, he should do his best to find an answer so all of them could be happy.

As he thought so, he wiped his body clean, ready to return, thinking of the countermeasure of his problem, but—

"Fukube-san."

There was Chitanda, who greeted him with a gentle smile under the gentle light of the neon lamp.
