I am that male friend in the harem story

"Hmm... it's dangerous." 

Ishigami looked in the mirror and thought that he really had become more handsome. 

The next day was the day for his appointment to go on a date with Onodera, and naturally, he prepared himself as he checked the rewards he gained from Kobachi. 

Double Charm. 

As expected, the moment he accepted this reward, he became so handsome that it made him speechless. His base was already good, and with his trained body and manly stature, when all of that was doubled, he probably was like Adonis in the Greek legend. 

Still, while it was good for Ishigami, he knew that this might be different if he was transmigrated into a character with a plain face in the future. 

If he had been transmigrated into such a character, then he would have become a normal, handsome man. 

Well, it was good enough, he thought. 

Nevertheless, being handsome was a good thing. While everyone said one shouldn't judge a book from its cover, they still did. 

Frankly, while it was cruel, a face also determined people's future. 

While it might not appear that much in a man's world since as long as they could improve themselves with their physical ability, wealth, and knowledge, in the world of women, being beautiful and ugly would determine everything. 

Even if a beautiful woman had a shitty personality, many men would still beg her to become theirs. On the other hand, when a woman had a less attractive appearance and also had an overweight size, even if they were kind and gentle, it would be hard for them to attract the attention of the one she loved. 

This was probably why beauty care and plastic surgery were a booming business, he thought. 

Even men also started to get conscious of their appearance, trying to make themselves appear better, so he knew that this reward was great, especially if he aspired to become a household husband or a gigolo. 

Unfortunately, he never intended to do so. 

While it was enjoyable to become a homemaker as he could relax and just work to take care of his family, it would be hard for him to gain respect from his woman, and more importantly, it would be hard for him to protect his woman. 

After all, while everyone dressed like a gentleman, Ishigami knew that this world was nothing but a large jungle. 

Those who were strong could get everything, and those who were weak could only be devoured. 

Being handsome was good and all, but he needed to build his own power in this world so that he could give peace of mind to his women.

Fortunately, he had an "Eyes of Wealth," and he also had an idea of how to use this ability, but before that, he had to learn more about the laws and tax situation in this country. 

At the same time, he couldn't help but look at the reward he gained from Tsubame. 

Delicious. 

This ability was simple, and it was just an ability that allowed him to make the foods he cooked twice as delicious. While it was strange, he felt that he had become a human MSG, but unlike MSG, this ability was natural, and there was no need for anyone to feel worried that the foods he made would bring danger. 

At the same time, like the "Eyes of Wealth," this ability should be developed, such as allowing all the foods from his shops, restaurants, cafes, and many others produced to become twice as delicious. 

Still, not only foods but also his body and the substances from his body became twice as delicious; it seemed that since last night, Tsubame had enjoyed the yogurt he produced. 

His yogurt had been fermented for so long, and Tsubame enjoyed it a lot that her tongue never stopped licking it, even from its source. 

Still, after thinking about his gymnastics training yesterday, his 19 cm gymnastic club appeared once again, and this made him think that youth was good. 

If he was in his 50s or 60s, he was afraid that he wouldn't be as straight as now. 

So, he knew that he had to take good care of his body, especially when, in this current era, it wouldn't be weird for a young man in his 20s to have an illness that was suffered by old people. 

Still, let's go back to the previous reward. 

'It seems I should go to the food industry.' 

Unlike other industries, the threshold for the food industry was low, and as long as you made delicious food, you would be able to succeed. Moreover, the profit gained from this industry was immense. Lastly, there was no need to worry about patents and other problems that usually appeared in another industry. 

'Food...' 

Ishigami made up his mind, but before that, he had to go out on a date. 

After washing his body well, he tidied up his hair, put on his clothes, and prepared to leave when it was almost time for a date. "I will go out first." 

"Huh? Where are you going?" 

Ishigami Papa and Mama were quite relaxed over the weekend, and the family of three enjoyed their breakfast without worry. After all, his parents weren't white-collar workers who had to work almost every day due to work arrangements; they were business owners, so they were free to do whatever they wanted, especially when the business was stable. 

So, watching their son, who became so handsome and went out during the weekend, they couldn't help but ask. While they had an idea of what he planned to do, they decided to ask anyway, hoping to confirm it from his lips. 

"I am going on a date." 

'As expected!' 2x

"Wait a moment. Bring more money." 

"Here. Take this." 

The two of them took their wallets naturally, ready to give him pocket money. 

"Thank you very much!" 

Ishigami wasn't a hypocrite, and more money was better than less. 

Instantly, he gained 20,000 yen from his parents, which was 10% of the average monthly expenditure of the people in this country. 

If some people needed to work for 20 hours to get it due to the salary of more or less 1,000 yen per hour for the people in this country, Ishigami could get it by saying that he would go on a date. 

It was great to become an Ishigami, he thought. 

If he was transmigrated into an average family, he was sure he would be cursed to ask for such an amount of money to go on a date with his girlfriend. 

Still, the money was a small thing for Ishigami's parents. Money was, in the end, a tool to make their lives better, and if they could use it to make their son better, then why not? 

Their son's improvement was clear in their eyes. They had seen how he had changed from that gloomy young man who spent all of his days in the room, playing games, into a handsome, sunny boy who went out on a date with his girlfriend on the weekend. 

Nevertheless, whatever the reason be, they knew that there was no need for them to worry about him anymore, worrying that he would spend his days as shut-in, depressed, without even the will to live. 

This improvement was something that they were more than happy about, especially as parents. 

"How is your girlfriend? Is she cute?" Ishigami Mama asked curiously. 

"She is beautiful." 

"Can I see her?" 

"Sure." Ishigami took his smartphone and showed the photo profile, which was a picture of him with Onodera. This picture was taken when they confirmed their relationship. 

Watching a beautiful girl kiss their son's cheek in the picture, clung to him lovingly, clearly showing her love to him, which put them in a daze since they never expected that this son of theirs would move so fast! 

Shouldn't he just hold hands before shyly kissing each other? 

Yet, why did they have a feeling that their son would lose his virginity soon?! 

However, having an experience in love, especially during youth, was far better than waiting until one became an adult. 

After all, to learn love was like learning a language. 

The more you experienced it, the better you were. 

More importantly, even if love was an important subject in life, no one had ever taught it to children, yet this was normal since even many adults were still not good at it. 

Still—

"Is her family good?" Ishigami Mama asked with a frown. If her son dated a slut, then there was no way she would accept it. 

"If I am not wrong, her family owns a jewelry company, and I am her first boyfriend." 

"..." 

Wasn't his girlfriend's condition better than his? 

Still, watching their handsome son appear warm yet manly... somehow, they understood how he could charm this girl. 

Somehow, Ishigami Papa, who had become overweight due to age, raised his chest with pride, thinking that Ishigami was really his son. 

"....." Ishigami and Ishigami Mama. 

"Then, I will go out first." 

"Okay, be careful on your way." 

"If you don't go home, call us." 

Unlike Ishigami Mama, who cared about her son's well-being, Ishigami Papa was more straightforward. 

"....." Ishigami and Ishigami Mama. 

"...um, I will tell you if that's the case." 

Ishigami nodded, but he didn't think anything would happen between him and Onodera later during the date. They might have kissed each other, but to reach the next step, he felt that he needed a little more time. More importantly, he wasn't in a hurry, especially when he had been working hard on gymnastics yesterday. 

While the youth's recovery was amazing, he was calm. 

"Then, I will go first." 

It was his first day, so it was impossible for him to be late. 

Still, as he stepped out, his parents watched his back and felt happy with his change, but then, at the same time, they also felt a bit worried since they had to admit they weren't ready to become grandparents this early.
