I am that male friend in the harem story

"Kaguya-sama?" 

Hayasaka looked at her mistress in worry since she could see that Kaguya had been in silence after her talk with Chika. Still, she wasn't blind and knew what Kaguya wished for, but she also understood Ishigami's action even if she didn't want to. 

Regardless, there was no doubt she was unhappy when she saw Kaguya was like this. 

"Aren't you going on a date tomorrow, Kaguya-sama? You should choose your clothes first." 

"...yeah." 

Taking a deep breath, Kaguya made up her mind. 

Meanwhile, Ishigami, who knew nothing, went to Shibuya Scramble Square with Onodera. While he wanted to see the small stores in the district nearby, she told him that this was the place where she usually bought her clothes, but he had to say, the brands that she had chosen for him were a bit too expensive for him. 

Ishigami's total net worth (the amount of money in his bank and wallet) was about 245,500 yen, and it had increased even further from his previous net worth, but each item from those luxurious brands had a tag price of 100,000 at minimum. 

This was too much! 

Yet, for Onodera, this might be nothing, he thought. 

Signing inwardly, he knew that he needed to make money. Relying on his parents was good and all, but as expected, he wanted more, and there was still a limit to the development of his father's toy company.

"Yuu, you don't like them?" 

Onodera wanted to bring Ishigami to the luxurious brands, like Tom Ford, Balenciaga, Burberry, and many others, but she could see that he didn't seem to be interested in any of them. 

"It's too expensive for me, Rei." 

"It's fine." Onodera was about to take her wallet, but Ishigami quickly stopped her.

"Don't use your money." 

"You don't have to worry. It's fine."

"It's not fine. It will be dangerous if I get used to you treating me, and I feel like I will change my dream to become a household husband if this keeps on." 

"Hahaha." Onodera laughed as she hugged him. "It's fine, isn't it? Go and become a household husband!" 

Ishigami rolled his eyes, wondering whether this girl was joking or not, but watching her eyes, he felt that she wasn't lying, which made him helpless. Still, he also understood that with his appearance, it was easy for him to live as a gigolo, relying on the woman's wealth. 

"Let's look around first. I also feel like I will get taller again in the future, so it will be wasteful if I can't use them later." 

"Now that you mention it." Onodera looked at him up and down, then said, "You really get taller, Yuu." 

Ishigami's original height was 169 cm, the standard height of every harem protagonist, and in this country, it had already been considered tall, considering many guys were still under 165 cm. 

However, as his physical ability level improved, he became taller, and at this moment, he should be about 174 cm, and probably, he would get even taller, especially when he was at the age where he would grow. 

More importantly, he also added a lot of protein and calcium to his diet, and along with his system, he knew that he could reach a higher height, so if he bought a luxurious brand worth 100,000 yen and more, he knew that it would be wasteful, especially when he could only use them in limited time.

This was why he had been buying cheap but reliable brands such as UNIQLO, GU, and MUJI. 

Well, for some people, those 100,000 yen or more were nothing, and they could change their clothes almost every day. 

"Why I didn't notice it..." 

Still, watching his girlfriend, who suddenly got depressed, Ishigami was speechless. "Why did you get depressed now?" 

"Because I didn't notice your change!" 

"...do you think I am your child or something, and you are a parent who watches the growth of her children's height every day?" Ishigami wondered whether it was his imagination, but Onodera's love was a bit... heavy, especially—

"By the way, did you bring me to those stores to impress me?" 

"!?" 

Onodera couldn't look at him straight away since she knew well that she was trying to impress Ishigami. Like how a man brought her woman to an expensive brand store to make her happy, she wanted to do the same. 

"Well, their items are unique, but I think it is a bit too much for me as a high school student." 

If he really wore those luxurious items, he was afraid that many would think that he had a sugar mama. 

"What are you going to get then?" 

Frankly, for her, buying those items was nothing, especially when she often bought a lot of expensive items. 

"There doesn't seem to be any of those stores here." 

"Should we go out?" 

"Is that okay?"

"Sure." 

As long as she was with him, Onodera was okay. 

Ishigami smiled and said, "Let's enjoy our date here for a while." 

Onodera was in a daze for a while, then nodded with a sweet smile. "Um~!" 

"Still, thank you for your effort. I am happy." 

Nevertheless, even if Onodera tried to impress him, Ishigami needed to show his appreciation for her effort. 

"..." 

Staring at him for a while, Onodera asked, "Can we stop at that corner? There are no people there." She felt that she needed a kiss to stop her overflowing feelings that often burst out and made her body giddy all the time. 

"....." Ishigami. 

Nevertheless, under his arrangement, the two of them visited many places in this department store, watched a movie, visited a good restaurant, and then went to the sky observation deck. 

Still, as expected, after they walked so long, Ishigami noticed something. 

"Is your feet hurt?" 

Onodera was surprised; then she showed a gentle smile. "I am fine." 

"Let's rest for a while." 

"...okay." 

Even if she said that she was fine, it would be great if she could rest for a while. 

"Let me check your feet." 

"No, it's too sweaty. Your hands will get dirty." 

"It is fine. We have many places that we will walk to later. It will be a disaster if your feet hurt." 

"Um..." 

So, when Onodera rested on the sofa, Ishigami crouched down, staring at her little white feet. Her toes were small, and her nails were painted pink, which made them cute and beautiful. 

When Ishigami was in a daze for a while, Onodera blushed, "Y-Yuu, it's a bit embarrassing if you keep staring at them like that." 

"Yeah, sorry." 

Ishigami shook his head, thinking that he had calmed down, especially when he had been comforted last night, so, at this moment, he could focus on taking care of Onodera's feet. 

Taking off her shoes, he rubbed and gave a massage gently. "Should I press harder?" 

"Hmn~! No, that's enough..." 

"...."

Ishigami fell in silence when she heard a comfortable sigh from Onodera that sounded so seductive, but fortunately, they were at the corner, and it was rather noisy due to the intense wind from a high altitude, so it was all fine. 

Nevertheless, many couldn't help but look at them, feeling a bit jealous of Onodera as she had an attentive boyfriend. 

Meanwhile, Onodera blushed, thinking that she was so perverted, thinking that it would be great when those hands of his could be used to rub her entire body as she felt his hands against her toes, entangled with each other, which made her so comfortable. 

"T-There is no smell, right?" 

They had been walking for so long, so she was worried her feet were smelly. 

"No, it smells nice." 

Ishigami didn't lie since he knew Onodera had put a body lotion on her feet and probably even put perfume on them. 

"Pervert~!" 

As expected, she thought. 

She knew that it seemed Ishigami was into her legs and feet, and this was why she had been wearing small heels since she knew that she would appear attractive in his eyes. 

Yes, she knew that they would walk for so long, and her feet definitely would be hurt, but this was a necessary sacrifice to make him happy. 

Still, it seemed he noticed her sacrifice, slowing down whenever they walked, and sat down so she could recover her feet. 

At the same time, she couldn't help but glance at his lower region, wondering whether it was reacting, but unfortunately, it didn't, which made her a bit disappointed, and she also fell into guilt, considering how perverted she was. 

Nevertheless, they didn't stay for so long after he gave a message to her feet, and she held his hands without hesitation before they started their date again, and this time, they would go to the place he wanted to visit. 

Fortunately, Shibuya was known as one of the fashionable districts, so all the brands that he sought were there. 

"Levi's, Dr Martens, and Carhatt..." 

When Onodera went to the stores Ishigami was interested in, she also couldn't help but join him in the shopping and buy a lot of things, especially Dr Martens, which fitted her aesthetics. 

"I never knew that you liked those types of clothes." 

Rugged, manly. 

These were most of the types of clothes Ishigami bought. 

Anyway, as a man, he felt that he should be simple, and his staple was definitely a simple white and black t-shirt and jeans. As for the rest, it can be adjusted depending on the situation, either by changing the shoes or jacket. 

Yet, for Onodera, who watched him, she felt like... she wanted to buy the entire store so she could see him in a private fashion show. More importantly, she knew that Ishigami often styled in a different type of fashion, which made him even more... irresistible! 

Still, as the sun was about to go down, Ishigami thought that it was time for them to go home, but—

"Yuu, can we stay for a little longer?" 

"Are you okay with staying late?" 

"Um, I have told my family. It will be fine for me, but what about you?" 

"My parents are okay too." 

"Then, let's have dinner together." 

"Sure." Ishigami agreed, then asked, "Where are we going?" 

"I have booked a place. It is a good place. Leave everything to me." 

"Okay." 

Yet, what he didn't know was when Onodera held his hand and pulled him, her face was a little lewd.
