I am that male friend in the harem story-Chapter 299: It doesn’t matter

"Saki, what should we do? This girl is just too powerful..."

Maaya sighed helplessly and wondered whether this was karma, thinking that at the beginning, she had wanted to bring Tobe closer to Saki, yet in the end, she was the one who had fun with him.

Moreover, while it was quite dirty, she also invited him to have lunch alone without Saki. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Was this her karma as a naughty girl?

Yet, when she thought that she had lost everything so easily due to her hesitation, and also her care toward her friend, it made her helpless.

Still, Maaya wasn't the only one who felt this way, since Saki also felt uncomfortable as she hesitated. With her family's situation, she knew well that she shouldn't be thinking about this type of relationship. It might be comfortable and relaxing to talk with him, but she knew well that she should be working hard, studying, so she wouldn't trouble her mother, who was working hard, yet when she knew that he had gotten a girlfriend so quickly, it made her uncomfortable and at a loss.

Regardless, Maaya and Saki also understood why Tobe accepted the confession of Yukinoshita, especially with how beautiful she was, and when Tobe and Yukinoshita sat together, they fit together like a perfect couple, which made them helpless.

"How about you, Miura-san?"

Maaya and Saki aside, Yukinoshita knew that their interaction with Tobe was limited as they were from a different class, but Yumiko was different as they were in the same class. While she didn't think that something would happen, she needed to take precautions, wishing to know what Yumiko felt toward Tobe.

Yukinoshita's experience wasn't good, especially during her childhood, as many of the girls were often jealous because their crush had somehow fallen for her, although she didn't like them at all.

Yet, instead of trying to be better, they just blamed her, thinking that she was at fault even though it was their fault for not trying at all and falling for a scumbag.

Still, somehow, she felt a certain understanding of why they were angry at her, as she knew well that a certain factor couldn't be controlled at all, such as in the class.

Tobe had told her that Yumiko was in love with someone else, yet when Yukinoshita thought of her boyfriend's charm and his gentle voice as he kissed her cheek softly, it made her face slightly red and distorted with a strange pleasure, wishing to have such an exchange once again, yet it was hard for her to be honest, considering how she might be seen as a pervert by him.

Then again, Yukinoshita could imagine that Tobe would just laugh it out, then continued to tease her, as he kissed her cheek lovingly, then moved onto her soft lips, licking, biting, then sucking them, staining, and marking them as his.

Yet, as he thought of her as his, she also thought of him as hers, so if possible, she didn't want others to have a strange thought toward him, despite how weird it was.

Love.

What a strange emotion, yet for her, who felt it for the first time, she felt like she might be addicted to it.

Still, Yumiko frowned and even showed disgust when she heard Yukinoshita's question. "...do you think I am going to fall for him?"

"You are not?"

"I am not! I have someone I like, too!"

"Who?"

"..."

At this moment, Yumiko realized that she had messed up, and her face was a little red, feeling embarrassed, yet somehow, when she felt Tobe's gaze on her, she felt uncomfortable and couldn't say who she was in love with.

The conversation that she had with Tobe this morning made her realize that if one didn't have a single interest with another, no matter what the struggle was, it was impossible.

Due to a certain situation, probably, two people could be forced together, such as due to an economic situation, and even though one didn't have a feeling, if one had no choice, it was possible to be together.

Yet, what about her?

Was it possible for her to be with the one that she fell in love with, despite knowing that he had no feelings toward her?

"It doesn't matter, right? Anyway, it isn't your boyfriend! I won't steal him from you! You can have him all you want!"

"Your words seem like you can steal him from me if you try, but unfortunately, you can't."

"...."

"...you are really annoying, you know that?"

"What a coincidence." Yukinoshita didn't lose her smile and said, "I think that you are also annoying." She just couldn't help it, but when she looked at Yumiko, it felt like her anger and emotion couldn't be controlled, as Yumiko reminded her of the one who had isolated and bullied her in the past.

Or rather, it was like the two were a cat and a dog when they met each other, as Yumiko felt like Yukinoshita was proud of herself, and looking down on her, and Yukinoshita felt like Yumiko was overly conscious of herself.

Still, when they were about to fight, Tobe said, "I will go back first."

"Huh?"

"You are going back now?" Yukinoshita asked curiously.

"Yup, I got a part-time job now."

"Huh? Really? Where?"

"Let's talk while we walk."

Yukinoshita looked at everyone for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, let's go back."

"Sorry, I will go back first, Narasaka-san, Ayase-san."

"Yes."

"Be careful~!"

While Maaya and Saki felt uncomfortable inwardly, they didn't show it on their faces.

"See you tomorrow, Yumiko, Yuigahama, Ebina."

"Yes, see you tomorrow, Tobe-kun."

"Bye, Tobe~!"

Yui and Hina were unrelated to him, but even so, they knew that it would be troublesome if Yukinoshita and Yumiko stayed together. They might wish to study, but if the result would end up in a conflict, it was better to stop.

"Um..."

Yet, Yumiko felt a little uncomfortable and just looked away as she answered in a low voice.

"Then, excuse me, too."

Yukinoshita was polite, then excused herself as she left with Tobe holding her hand.

Probably, because they had done many things together, holding hands was nothing.

Yet, for all of them who saw Tobe and Yukinoshita hold hands with ease, they felt like... the time had stopped for them, realizing Tobe was more fearsome than they had imagined, as the coldest and most popular girl in the school was taken down by him.

Still, as the two left, Maaya and Saki didn't intend to stay there any longer, especially when Yumiko was too... overbearing.

On the other hand, Hina and Yui, who were Yumiko's followers, just looked at each other and weren't sure what to say.

Regardless, Yumiko took a deep breath, then said, "Let's just study while we're here."

"Can you even study?" Hina asked bluntly, yet Yui only smiled wryly.

Staring at the book that Yumiko had read the night before, and the questions that had troubled her yet were answered so easily and explained by Tobe, she understood. However, she was in no mood to continue looking at the book, as everything felt like it didn't matter anymore.
