I am that male friend in the harem story-Chapter 220: Bite

"I am sorry for troubling you, Fukube-san."

"It's fine."

While it was awkward, Chitanda knew that she had caused Satoshi a lot of trouble, especially when she hugged him tightly as she cried. She knew that it was wrong, yet she couldn't help it as it was just too... comfortable to be in his embrace, and it moved her to know he thought a lot of her.

"If you need my help, then please tell me. I... I might not be able to help much, but if you need my help, then I will do my best!"

"Then, I will take that offer."

"Okay."

Happy, Chitanda was glad that Satoshi wouldn't bother her, but then, she couldn't help but feel curious. "Is there something that I can help with?"

Pushing her bicycle, she wondered what kind of help she could give.

"Well, let's talk later since I haven't had an idea what to ask you."

"Hm... let's see... if your parents need a job, then you can call me."

"...."

Satoshi almost staggered, but when he thought that Chitanda was joking, he could see that she was serious.

"Or rather, you can work under him after you graduate, Fukube-san. Oh, wait, are you planning to enter a university?"

Many students would work as soon as they graduated from high school, so Chitanda thought that Satoshi might be one.

"No, I will enter a university."

"Really? Which university?"

"I am not sure which university, but I plan to enter an economy or law, but Kaho might ask me to enter Shinto study in Mie or Tokyo to become a priest."

Frankly, Satoshi didn't really mind becoming a priest as it was quite a nice job, and Kaho and her family probably thought of him as her husband (son-in-law), so they might have pushed him to enter a university that allowed him to gain a qualification to become a Shinto priest.

"Ah, um... do you want to become a priest, Fukube-san?"

Chitanda's expression turned awkward as she knew if Satoshi really planned to enter a Shinto university, then—

"Not that much, but then again, let's see how it goes since there are three years in high school. I will make my decision later in my 3rd year, and before that, I plan to learn and experience many things."

"Experience? Was it something that you discussed with Oreki-san before?"

"...did you hear it?"

"Um." Chitanda nodded, and her bright, large eyes shone once again. "What are you planning to do, Fukube-san?" Rather than encouraging him to become a priest, she hoped for him to chase other dreams.

"Er..."

"Please! I am curious!"

"...it's a mangaka."

"Mangaka!" Chitanda was surprised, but she became more excited. "Have you drawn it?"

"It should be done tonight, so I plan to go back early."

"Then, please!" Chitanda is curious about Satoshi's manga, but then she realizes something and apologizes. "Also, I am sorry for troubling you once again, Fukube-san."

"Once again, it's fine. It is something that I have decided, and I feel relief to know what happened to your uncle." Satoshi then stopped and said, "I hope that everything is going well."

"Yes, thank you. Because of you... I can properly face my uncle now."

Perhaps time might dilute the memory of her uncle, but not now.

Yet, unlike before, Chitanda knew what her uncle told her and understood the misery that her uncle faced, and she could properly say goodbye at his funeral later.

"Once again, thank you."

"No problem."

The two stood in the street, which was just outside of the school.

Under the bask of the orange light of the sunset, their eyes met, and Satoshi could see how relieved and glad Chitanda appeared to be. Chitanda could see his eyes glowing in a gentle color, but even so, he still gave off a reliable color.

"Now that you mention it, are you going to inherit your family's business?"

"Yes." Chitanda nodded. "I will inherit my family's farms." Similar to Kaho, who would inherit the shrine, she would also inherit her family's farm, but she didn't mention it as she knew it would leave a bad taste in her mouth, and at this moment, even if she knew Kaho was his girlfriend, she didn't want him to think about another girl other than her.

"That's great. I hope that everything is well with you, then I will go back now. See you tomorrow, Chitanda-san.

"Ah, yes, see you tomorrow... Fukube-san."

As Satoshi turned, Chitanda wanted to reach him, hold him, and stop him, holding his hand like how she did previously, relying on him and asking him to accompany her in the future since, as expected, she wasn't as confident and firm as she thought to be.

To inherit her family's farms, which were known as the largest landlords in the area, it was her duty as the heiress of someone who was born into the Chitanda family.

Yet, Chitanda knew well that she wasn't as perfect as everyone thought she was, and... if possible, she hoped for someone to be by her side to support her.

'....."

Standing still in her spot, Chitanda watched his profile that slowly disappeared in the distance, sighing before reluctantly leaving as she knew her wish was impossible.

Still, when she was about to leave, she realized that she had forgotten many things to ask him, and this made her uncomfortable, wishing to chase after him so he could answer all the questions that she wanted to ask!

Only—

"Did you seduce Eru, too?"

"...could you not come out so suddenly, Irisu-senpai?"

When Satoshi was about to go to Kaho's home, all of a sudden, Irisu came out from the coffee shop, which was located near their school.

"I never expected that you would be so close to Eru."

"We're just members of the same club. My friend is part of that club and invited me, so I got to know Chitanda-san."

"Hmm..."

Folding her arms, Irisu stared at Satoshi silently, never realizing her actions caused her prominent breasts to become tighter on her school uniform.

"What is it?"

"...your eyes."

"Sorry."

Irisu rolled her eyes, but she also smiled and then pulled him. "Follow me for a bit."

"What is it? I need to go to Kaho's place."

"...her parents are at the hospital, right?"

"Yes, so I might stay at her place."

"....."

Irisu suddenly stopped and observed him in silence once again. Her eyes were a little cold, but he didn't show much of a change in his expression, which made her frown.

"Did... did you..."

"Did I?"

"No, nothing."

Yet, when Irisu said those words, her heart felt so uncomfortable, as if a rope was tightly wrapped around her body, causing her to be unable to breathe. Taking a deep breath, she asked, "Do you know a quiet place?"

"If you want a kiss, then just tell me. Come on."

Under his lead, Irisu was speechless and complained. "Don't you want to kiss me, too?"

"Well, I do."

"Pervert!"

"I am!"

Yet, even so, her mood felt better, especially when Satoshi held her tightly, and she clung to him without letting him go as their lips pressed and entangled against each other lewdly and passionately, without any restraints as their bodies grew hotter and hotter.

"...when will you finish your manga?"

"Tomorrow."

"Let me read it before you send it for the competition, and also..."

"Also?"

"Don't forget about your promise, okay?"

Unlike before, her gaze was no longer cold and gave off an impression of the majesty of an empress. Instead, it was filled with anxiety, uncertainty, and timidity.

"...."

Sighing, he pulled her closer, letting her lean on his shoulder. "I might mess you up, you know?"

Blushing, Irisu snorted, then opened her mouth, then bit his shoulder lightly as she licked him, which made his shoulder wet due to her saliva and tense all over.

"What are you doing?!"

Even so, he held on as he didn't want to hurt her, yet—

"Let me see. How dare you mess with me?"

Her playful gaze stared at him, clearly expressed a lewd purpose, which made him sigh since the women of the countryside weren't that much different from those who lived in the city.
