I am that male friend in the harem story-Chapter 298: The Chosen One

Chosen One.

This was the ability given to him by Yukinoshita.

So, what could this ability do?

First, it gave him incredible luck like a hero in a story, and he gained many opportunities to develop and gain many things. At the same time, it also affected the luck of the ones that he thought of as enemies, as they might become unlucky instead.

Second, it also allowed his charm to be better, not only the appearance, but also the way he carried himself, which worked like an aura that made people subconsciously follow him.

Third, it made him able to grow stronger faster, or able to learn any knowledge that he wanted to learn easily, and even become a master in that area.

Fourth, it might also be able to make those who followed him grow alongside him.

Lastly, the fifth, he could get the abilities, skills, and knowledge of those who followed him.

Was it a good ability?

Of course, it was also an ironic ability as he gained it from Yukinoshita, who was a loner.

While this ability that he gained from her didn't tell him to socialize, it worked better if he stayed in the group. The more people under him, the better it was, and this was why it was quite ironic.

Still, would a harem group be counted?

As they decided to have a study group, they went to the library, leaving many speechless, but then again, they knew that Tobe had made his decision, yet without a doubt, the shock that was given by Yukinoshita, who proclaimed that she had dated him, was bigger than anything.

Somehow, they felt like... it would be Tobe, who announced his relationship, yet strangely enough, it was Yukinoshita.

Still, how?

To understand that, no one missed this study session, including Yui Yuigahama and Hiba Ebina, who were brought by Yumiko.

"Who confessed first?" Yumiko asked directly.

All of them planned to study, yet somehow, it became a question-and-answer session.

"....." Tobe and Yukinoshita.

Still, while Yukinoshita blushed, Tobe was helpless. "Aren't we here to study?"

"Of course, we're here to study, but if you can answer our question first, we can be more focused on our study, Tobe-kun," Maaya said.

"She is right." Yumiko echoed.

There is no eternal enemy, only an interest.

Facing their curiosity, wondering how Tobe and Yukinoshita began to date, Maaya and Yumiko worked together, trying to uncover the secret behind their relationship.

Tobe wanted to say something, but Yukinoshita put her hand on his thigh, patting it softly, then looked at them. "I don't mind, but you should answer my question, too."

"....okay." 2x

They hesitated, but in the end, they nodded.

"Let me ask you all first." Yukinoshita looked at all of them and asked, "How did you know my boyfriend?"

"...." 5x

Yukinoshita knew that Tobe was popular, especially when she had seen how a love letter was sent into his shoe locker yesterday, so instead of wasting her time, she decided to be straightforward, even though she wasn't even sure what love was.

Yet, for one thing, she was sure that she liked him since if she didn't, then would she let him hold, embrace, and even kiss her cheek?

Yukinoshita might not have experience, but she knew what she could and couldn't do with the opposite gender.

Regardless, as his boyfriend was popular, and while she could trust him, she also wanted to know how deep their relationship was, as it was her first time to know how popular he was.

It might be only one love letter yesterday, but even so, according to the probability that existed in reality, how many boys were even given a chance to be sent a love letter in their high school life?

Among hundreds of boys, probably, only less than 10% had a chance to be in love.

Yet, her boyfriend had so many beautiful girls that he was close with, which made her speechless.

So, of course, while they wanted to ask her, how could she not ask them?

"You first." Yumiko quickly glanced at Maaya, who was speechless by Yumiko's words, but Maaya had nothing to hide. "Well, we just found out yesterday..." She had nothing to hide anyway, and she told them everything, from how Tobe helped Saki Ayase, and they got to know each other.

"Saki?"

Everyone then looked at Saki, who had been silent, completely taciturn, and even cold. They had noticed her, but it was hard for them to talk. No, they couldn't talk at all, especially with Yukinoshita, Yumiko, and Maaya, the trio who took all the conversations.

Still looking at it, Saki nodded. "Yes, he helped me pick up my wallet." Her voice was soft, quite sweet, unexpectedly, yet inwardly, like others, she was quite disappointed. "...when did you two start dating?"

If it was yesterday, then Saki would think Tobe was a scumbag, especially when they talked so many times yesterday.

Yukinoshita wasn't sure why she said this, but when she looked at Saki, she thought that it was better to give an answer. "...just today."

"Oh?"

"Today?"

"Yes."

"This break?"

"Yes."

"When did you meet each other?"

"Yesterday."

"....."

Still, the most important question was—

"Who confessed first?"

Yumiko, Maaya, and Saki asked at the same time, while Yui and Hina remained in silence, yet their eyes stared at this confrontation with excitement.

A conflict had always been something that one loved to see, especially for Yui and Hina, who were completely unruffled and could just enjoy as observers, but when Tobe looked in their direction, their faces flushed, and they quickly looked away.

Still, while Yui had a thin face and felt embarrassed, Hina was having fun, laughing, and gave him a thumbs up for making such a battle royal happen!

She had her fun!

Yet, Hina never expected that she would have her turn in the future, nor did she know that Tobe would become the closest person she would have in the future.

Still, facing this question, Tobe thought to lie, telling them that it was he who confessed. After all, in our society, it wasn't common to see a girl confess their feelings first. In this country, girls are expected to be demure and refined, so all the advances and courtships should be left to the men.

"It's—"

"It's me."

Tobe looked at Yukinoshita in a daze, which made her helpless, and said, "There is no need to lie about this. I am the one who confessed to him first."

"...."

Yet, at that moment, all of them had to admit that Yukinoshita was a fearsome woman.
