I am that male friend in the harem story

"If you lose, live with me." 

"...."

Ishigami, who was about to eat a dorayaki bought by Tsubame, recovering his stamina and mind with a sweet, fell into a daze after hearing Iino say those words to him. 

As they finished their mid-term exam, Iino made an outrageous request to Ishgami, causing him and those who heard her request to fall into silence. 

"...you bitch." Kobachi was speechless by her friend's outrageous request. "Are you serious?!" 

"Why not? I am practically living alone at home, and he has met my parents, and they agree, so why not?" 

Anyway, Iino didn't think her request was wrong, and she felt it was normal, especially since the two of them were dating. While she wasn't his only one, the fact that they had a connection and also had connected to each other didn't change, so was it wrong of her to ask to develop their relationship further? 

"Or rather, I have bought your daily necessities, a new bed, and many others, so you can move right away." 

"....." Ishigami. 

It might have been a bit long, and probably many forgot, but in the beginning, before all the messed up relationships that Ishigami had created and forged, he made a bet with Iino that if he could get into the top ten rank within the mid-term exam, he could ask any request to her, but if he failed, then she could ask him any request too. 

Yet, unexpectedly, all of the requests that she asked him were these requests, which made him lose his ability to talk for a moment, especially when he saw her deep obsession in her eyes. 

"You don't have to do anything. Let me take care of everything. Everything, whether it is your food, clothes, taking a bath, everything, all of them, I will take care of them, so live with me, Yuu." 

Iino moved closer, holding his cheeks as she stared at him deeply with a lustful expression as she thought of monopolizing him alone. 

'Scary!' 

Ishigami almost dropped his dorayaki, but the others couldn't react as they saw Iino's deep infatuation. 

Love~! Love~! Love~!

Those eyes of hers showed such emotion, and as they were so close and Iino saw his lips, her tongue stuck out slightly as she licked her lips, wishing to smooch those lips of his, thinking that he was as great as ever. 

Still, her plan was simple since she could not be with Ishigami forever. 

As for the other women, Iino was fine since she knew well that with her body, she couldn't satisfy him alone and thought of them as his masturbation tools. 

"Or, you don't love me? You love me, right? If you love me, then it doesn't matter even if we live together, right? Yuu—" 

Ishigami shut Iino's lips directly when he saw that it was safe, then parted away before he wrapped her closer to his arm. "That's if you win, but what if I win? Are you ready to accept my request?" 

"....." 

Iino kissed him directly, causing him to be speechless, and the others were similar too, but fortunately, even if she was crazy and broken, she still had common sense and knew what she should do and shouldn't do; yet even so, her hand got naughty by moving into his thigh, rubbing it softly, then looked at him with an obsession. 

"If you win, I am ready for everything. A cosplay, rope, whip, candle, or many others. Even if you beat me up, I am fine." 

"..." Ishigami. 

"...." Everyone. 

Taking a deep breath, Ishigami glanced at her two pinkies and the small mounds that showed from the gap in the collar of her uniform, which she probably did deliberately since she knew he loved this subtle lewdness that appeared in their daily exchange. 

Still calming himself, he slapped her cute little buttocks, then grabbed them forcefully in his palm. "You're a sick masochist, but I don't hate that part of you." 

"Hnh~!" 

Iino fell deeper and deeper, being drowned in the dark abyss without any lights, but even so, it didn't matter since as long as Ishigami was by her side, everything was going to be okay. 

Yet, Ishigami wasn't okay at all since he had a cold sweat, especially when he noticed the dangerous gaze around him. 

Still, he believed that he would win this bet, and he definitely wouldn't live with Iino since if he lived in her home, he was afraid that she would lock him up inside like he was living in the dungeon. 

At that time, he would lose control over his body, be chained up, and then be used as a living dildo. 

Or rather, such a scenario often existed in real life, but usually, the role was reversed. 

Yet, the useless trivia aside, he didn't want to be trapped in Iino's home! 

However, he would be lying if he wasn't exhausted, especially when he faced many problems, yet he still needed to train his physical ability, learn knowledge, manage his business, and also take care of their spiritual and bodily needs by using his stiffness. 

Somehow, at this moment, the student council room had become his place to rest when he was quite weary, especially when his relationship with everyone was the same as ever. 

So, when everyone wanted to take him down and marked the school as one of the places for them to do it, Ishigami quickly ran away, saying that he had a student council job, and rested on the sofa inside absentmindedly. 

He wasn't sure when he got this habit; he just sat down and fell into a daze for a moment, but as he wasn't Superman, who was perfect and just a man, somehow, this time of his when he was away from everything and remained alone. 

"Ishigami?" 

"Senpai?" 

However, his peace was broken when Kaguya was there. 

"How was your exam?" 

"It has to be great." 

Their interaction was normal, and there was no strangeness like how a junior and a senior would be. 

"It's good that you have that spirit." 

"....." 

Of course, he had to have such a spirit, or else Iino would lock him up. 

"How about you, Senpai? Are you doing well on your exam?" 

"Are you seriously asking me that?" 

Shirogane's exam result might be the rank 1st in the entire country, but Kaguya was the 2nd! 

This was also the reason why Kaguya started to have an interest in Shirogane, as he was the first man who was better than her. 

Yet, now? 

Of course, nothing changed, and her love should remain the same, Ishigami thought. 

Still smiling at her response, Ishigami said, "Well, you seem exhausted, after all." 

"Aren't you the same?" Kaguya sat by his side so they could talk better. "I have heard that you plan to acquire a football club." 

"There is a chance, so my family thought to get one since it is a good way for publicity, and I can also use this football club to affect a politician, too." 

Yes, Ishigami planned to acquire a football club, which was a good way to get publicity, as he had said before. 

"You have grown into an evil capitalist, Ishigami." 

Yet, Kaguya's smile was as bright as ever. 

"...can you look at that mirror when you said that?" 

"Haha..."

As Kaguya laughed, Ishigami asked, "Are you going to stay, Senpai?" 

Probably, after Ishigami took Maki as his woman, Kaguya became normal, especially when the relationship between Maki's family, the Shijo family, and Kaguya's family, Shinomiya family wasn't good, but he didn't regret his decision since he got a wonderful, yet pathetic girl like Maki. 

"Yes, I plan to take a rest for a moment." 

"The student council room isn't a place for you to rest, Senpai." 

"Sorry, it's hard for me to get rest at home." 

"Well, it can't be helped then. I will watch you over." 

"Thanks, Ishigami."

As Kaguya said so, she smiled, searched for a comfortable position, and then started to sleep by sitting on the sofa, which made Ishigami sigh helplessly since he knew that as he had taken Hayasaka away, she was all alone without anyone, which made him a bit distressed. 

'Can you two date already?' 

If Kaguya dated Shirogane, then she wouldn't be alone, right? 

Yet, unfortunately, Ishigami didn't see them getting closer, which made him worried. 

Still, as he thought so, he saw her body sway, and her head was about to fall to the edge of the sofa; he subconsciously reached her out, gently held her shoulder, and was about to fix her sleeping position, but somehow, she moved closer toward him and leaned on his shoulder, and continued to sleep comfortably. 

"....." 

This was a coincidence, right? 

While he was helpless, he couldn't help but observe her fair and beautiful face that had a slight weariness, which made him helpless. He wanted to help her, yet... he was afraid if he continued to be by her side, then the ending he wished for wouldn't happen. 

'Only this time...' 

As he thought so, he just sat quietly and took a book that he happened to buy yesterday as he let Kaguya sleep on his shoulder, but as he read, he didn't know Kaguya opened her eyes slightly, then showed a gentle smile before she continued to sleep by his side.
