I am that male friend in the harem story

"Here is water, Yuu-kun. Drink it." Tsubame came and brought a bottle of water, showing her gentle personality. 

"Thanks." 

Drinking mineral water, Ishigami gulped it greedily, feeling slightly refreshed and better. 

"Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?" 

Still, Kobachi hadn't regained her calm as she kept staring at his flat pants with doubt and curiosity, wondering how something so big could hide in his pants, but when she noticed his gaze on her, she blushed and looked away. 

"So, what's wrong?" Tsubame looked at the two with doubt, wondering why Ishigami was in pain. 

When Kobachi lowered her head, Ishigami said, "She punched me." 

"....." Kobachi. 

"Huh? Punch you, why?!" Tsubame was startled and confused. "Koba-chan, you shouldn't get physical." 

"..." Kobachi. 

"You misunderstood, Senpai. It was just she was about to fall before, but when I caught her, she might be a little panicked and hit me." 

"Oh." Tsubame nodded, and Kobachi also felt better since Ishigami's story was much better to hear than the reality that happened. 

"So, where did she hit you that made you so in pain?" 

Watching Kobachi, who was slender and appeared feminine, Tsubame couldn't think that Kobachi could damage Ishigami so much that she could even hear his voiceless, painful scream. At the same time, she felt that Ishigami's story about a girl falling accidentally was strangely familiar somehow (the same excuse Ishigami used in chapter 21).

Kobachi felt a bit shy, but she couldn't utter the words "balls" from her tiny lips and only subconsciously stared at Ishigami's lower body.

Tsubame, who subconsciously followed Kobachi's gaze, was stunned, blushed, and then looked at Ishigami worriedly. "Are you okay, Yuu-kun?" While she wasn't sure, she had heard that it was so painful when a man was hit in that place. 

"...let me rest for a moment." 

No matter how hard he trained, it was impossible for his testicles to be able to be okay when they were hit by powerful force. 

At the same time, he confirmed that men who had a girlfriend, partner, or even wife were more popular than single men. This might be a strange phenomenon, and many would question this statement, but when a man has a partner, it means that his quality as a man is guaranteed, as a woman has chosen him. 

If Ishigami had to make an example, it would be like how one hesitates when one sees a new product, but when this product has been used by many and its quality is guaranteed, one wouldn't hesitate to buy it. 

Women were like that; they saw those men who had a girlfriend as someone who was guaranteed. 

This was also probably the reason why many women stole a boyfriend from their girlfriends. 

"I am sorry, Yuu..." 

Still watching Kobachi cry and show her guilt and remorse, Ishigami sighed helplessly and patted her head softly. "It's fine. I am not that weak. I will recover soon." 

"Really?" 

Kobachi was a little shy about this intimate action even though the two had kissed, but she loved it and subconsciously showed a sweet smile. 

"Yeah, do you want to check it?" 

"...is that okay?" 

Kobachi looked at him with some excitement and a slightly perverted smile. 

"...I was joking, okay?" 

Yet, as the two talked, Tsubame felt weird as she felt how the two had become so close. While Ishigami's expression was the same as before, she could see behind the glasses worn by Kobachi; her eyes were filled with tender love and warm light, especially when he patted Kobachi's head softly. Strangely enough, she felt uncomfortable, as if something precious that she had discovered was stolen, and watching how intimate they were, especially when he patted Kobachi's head softly, she felt her chest tight. 

Tsubame wanted to stop them, but she also knew that she didn't have a right to stop them. 

Who was she? 

She was just his senior, who he had met a few days ago. 

While they were so close, she also understood that she didn't understand many things about him, especially his relationship with other women. 

Still, at this moment, while she knew it was wrong, she didn't question their relationship since she felt she wasn't ready. Instead, while it was a bit cunning, she tried to make him pay attention to her by touching his broad back softly, caressing with her white hand as if trying to comfort him from his pain. "Be careful, okay?" At the same time, she also couldn't help but glance at his nether region occasionally.

Like a boy, who would be attracted by boobs, a girl was also curious about a man's manhood. 

However, while watching was okay, touching was definitely a big no-no, right? 

Kobachi glanced at Tsubame for a moment before looking away, snorting inwardly. 

"...." 

Ishigami took out a deep breath and thought that he might as well not waste his time and start his studies as soon as possible. 

"How about we study first?" 

The two didn't have a complaint, and they also saw Ishigami's hard work in studying every day, so they didn't feel surprised by his eagerness to study. More importantly, even if he was surrounded by beautiful girls, he didn't pay attention to them and had been focusing on improving himself.

This was a little strange since boys, who were being treated kindly and softly by such a beautiful girl as Tsubame, would think she had fallen for them. 

Unfortunately, Ishigami wasn't such a simple guy, and wasn't it normal for someone to treat others kindly and politely? 

So, instead of thinking that Tsubame had fallen for him, it was better to focus on those who had clearly expressed their feelings since it was less troublesome. 

"Do you understand now, Yuu-kun?" 

"Yeah, I understand." 

Ishigami's IQ wasn't low, so as long as he was taught, he would understand quickly. 

"Yuu, how about this one?" 

"Oh, that one." 

After he finished the question that troubled him by asking the question to Tsubame, Kobachi asked him a question, so he taught her.

Regardless, as the three studied, Ishigami sat in the middle, asking Tsubame some questions that he didn't understand, and then he taught Kobachi when she didn't understand. His expression was that of a pure and diligent boy who only wished to improve himself by studying. 

Yet, Kobachi was a naughty student who wanted to take advantage of him by putting her slender hand on the top of his thigh under the impression that she wanted to comfort his pain. 

Naturally, Ishigami pushed her hand away and even held it so this girl wouldn't do something strange since if this continued, his 19 cm would be shown!

Kobachi aside, he didn't want to be seen as a pervert by Tsubame!

Meanwhile, while it was subtle and didn't have much of a reaction to the interaction between Ishigami and Kobachi, inwardly, Tsubame was more troubled than she had thought to be. At this moment, she felt her treatment was similar to Onodera, who had studied together the previous day. 

Unlike Onodera, who was restrained and didn't dare to approach him directly as she sat next to Tsubame's side instead of his side, Kobachi acted like a baby, a spoiled girl wishing to get Ishigami's attention all the time. Even as they sat, Kobachi sat directly on Ishigami's side, clearly showing her liking to him. 

While Tsubame was speechless, she also couldn't help but glance at Ishigami. 

He was handsome, she thought. His body might be a little thin, but she could tell that he was strong, and there were some muscles as he could lift several heavy boxes in the morning before. Still, if there was something attractive about him, it was because of his calm and mature personality. 

Those boys in the high school were childish, after all, and they were like monkeys who wished to get the attention of the girls all the time by trying various techniques that they learned on the internet, anime, or just stories from their friends. Moreover, their heads were filled with nothing but boobs, boobs, and boobs. 

If a beautiful girl like her approached them, they would howl like wolves and leap into them with a straightforward confession even though they knew nothing about her, and naturally, it resulted in a rejection. 

Yet, Ishigami didn't do that and had a normal attitude toward her, treating her like others. 

This was good, and along with her good impression of him after he saved her and held her hand at that time, while she wasn't ready for dating due to her past experience, she wished to be with him all the time, especially with it was so enjoyable with him. 

However, what if he had a girlfriend? 

"..." 

Tsubame shook her head, trying to throw away all of the ugly feelings inside her heart and assumptions within her mind. Still, it wasn't like she didn't know Kobachi, and from what she knew, as the most beautiful girl, Kobachi had a lot of suitors, and she rejected all of them. Naturally, she knew that Kobachi was a good girl, but Kobachi was just too beautiful, and many female students would avoid her. 

Being too beautiful was troublesome, after all. 

More importantly, Kobachi's background wasn't good, as her mother was an actress. As for her father, they had an estranged relationship after her mother's cheating, and when the divorce happened, she followed her mother. 

While her mother's current lover might be a bank executive, with such a status, would others even see her in a good light? 

The jealousy was hard, but fortunately, there was Iino, who was also a loner, so they stayed together to protect themselves from loneliness. 

Tsubame, who was beautiful, also had a similar situation to Kobachi, but her personality was more extroverted, so it was easy for her to make friends, which was different from Kobachi, who was an introvert. 

For Kobachi, who showed an interest in someone and probably fell in love, Tsubame knew that she had to support her, especially when she knew Ishigami was reliable and honest. 

The two fitted together, she thought. 

Yet, why did she feel so uncomfortable and couldn't honestly wish for their happiness?

Still, even though Tsubame thought so, she showed her bright and gentle smile and taught him with care, never breaking her image as a perfect senior.

School days... what a nostalgic title. 

The story is fun, especially because Makoto enjoys his high school life a lot, but then—

Well, Ishigami is going to enjoy his high school life too!
