I am that male friend in the harem story-Chapter 266: Hokkaido 5
Chapter 266 - Hokkaido 5
Youth is amazing, Satoshi thought.
Despite being exhausted yesterday, the next day, just a single good sleep and breakfast, all of them were full of energy.
Or was it because their minds were different?
After all, if it was an adult, when they woke up, instead of being full of energy, they would still be exhausted as they knew that they had to have work again as they woke up, so of course, they hoped to stay in the land of a dream; instead of being bombarded by reality.
However, youths were different as they were never exposed to the world, and they could still have fun doing whatever they wanted.
Yet, even so, all of them understood that the reason why they could have fun was because of Satoshi. It was because he was well-prepared and had been working hard that they could enjoy their time in Hokkaido so much with him.
'If only, there were only the two of us...'
Sometimes, such a thought crossed Kaho's mind as she stared at him from behind. Even though many parts of him had changed, especially the exterior, his insides were the same.
Scumbag, she thought.
Thinking of his first confession, Kaho felt that it was wonderful, yet when the truth was discovered, it wasn't as beautiful as it seemed to be.
She was hurt, and she wanted him to destroy everything, even killing him, wishing to have him only for herself, yet she knew well that despite her negative thoughts, her love was much bigger.
If Satoshi was really a scumbag that would just play with many women, Kaho thought that she wouldn't be in much of a torment, yet he understood her pain and wished to make it better in his own way as it was impossible for him to be owned by herself.
It was unfair, yet Kaho couldn't blame him, especially when she had seen how much he meant to Chitanda, Ibara, and Irisu.
If Satoshi left them, then Kaho was sure that they would react even more extremely than she did, which showed how much he meant to all of them.
If only...
Such words kept emerging in her head, yet this was his choice, and if she wanted to stay, she had to tolerate him.
Reaching his hand, Kaho held his hand tightly, which Satoshi, in turn, held her tightly, too, which made her smile.
Their next destination would be Furano, where the famous Tomita Farm is located.
"Oh!"
As expected, when they came, the girls became excited, especially with the vivid purple lavender flowers blooming gracefully in the garden as if welcoming them.
The choices of flowers were unique, yet even so, they were beautiful.
"Satoshi, take a picture of us!"
"Okay, okay."
It was good that Satoshi was a good photographer, or else they might not have been able to take a picture of everything.
The picture is nice, Satoshi thought.
A memory, whether he wanted to or not, he would start to forget, especially when he might have to go to another world once again, and with many times passed, whether he wanted to or not, he would put them into the corner of his memories, but with a picture, it would trigger the precious memories that they had experienced together.
Still—
"This place isn't as beautiful as I thought it would be."
"That's true. There aren't that many flowers."
If there was a reason why everything appeared so perfect, it was because Satoshi's photography skill was just that godly, but in reality, this farm wasn't as beautiful as they thought it to be.
"But the melon and lavender ice cream is quite good."
"Yes." Chitanda nodded as she scooped a piece of cut melon onto her small plate. "I wonder whether it is possible to do something similar in Takayama."
As the daughter of a farmer with a lot of land, she wondered whether she could do something similar in Takayama.
"It should be."
"Really?"
"Yes." Satoshi nodded. "But the theme will be different as we're in the middle of the mountain."
Unlike Hokkaido, which had a lot of flat land, Takayama was located in the mountains, which made everything a little troublesome.
Japan also wasn't exactly a good place for farming, Satoshi thought, but this was also the reason why they could make up for their disadvantages with experience and rarity.
That said, Satoshi, no matter what, believed that he could help his women achieve his dream, and because of that, he also made his own choices. "Wait here for a moment. I will get Kaho."
"Okay." 3x
Unlike Chitanda, Ibara, and Irisu, who rested at the restaurant, Kaho decided to walk around for a bit.
It was quiet, Kaho thought.
However, this quietness was something that she was used to, especially when she often lived on the large shrine alone.
If Satoshi weren't by her side, Kaho believed that her life would be quite monotonous.
Yet, she didn't hate such a life as it was peaceful and unchanging, which was good for her, as she didn't like change, but as Satoshi came into her life, everything changed, and he had become part of her everyday life.
She thought this was how it would be, but unfortunately, it was only her one-sided wish since, unlike him, who could be without her, she couldn't be without him, and that was why she allowed him to be with all others since she didn't want to lose him.
It was unfair on his side, yet who made her love him so much?
If there was something that she was worried about, she wondered what he would try to aim for in the future.
Even though she was wealthy, her future was set on one path, and it was impossible to change.
However, Satoshi was different. His future was limitless, and he could become whatever he wanted to be if he wished to.
Fortunately, by her side, many bright, beautiful flowers bloomed, making her mood better, or else she was afraid that she would continue to think negatively.
As she stared at the flowers and the horizon in the distance absently, she suddenly saw someone who had stopped in front of her with a bicycle, but as she faced the sun, it was so bright and she couldn't see the person in front of her properly.
Still, she wasn't in a panic since, despite how blinding he was, his voice was clear and familiar.
"What are you doing?" Satoshi asked as he stopped his bicycle in front of Kaho.
"...bicycle?"
"I borrowed it." Satoshi patted the backseat softly. "Sit here. Let's tour around."
"...."
Kaho stared at him for a moment, stood up, and then saw him clearly.
His handsome face still showed his gentle, light smile that made her heart race whenever she saw him, which made her sigh, thinking that she was such an easy girl.
"Come on."
Sitting in the back seat, despite it not being allowed, neither Satoshi nor Kaho cared much.
Still, as Kaho sat and was ready, Satoshi started to pedal the bicycle as they started to tour around the farm.
Her hand wrapped around his waist, watching the changing scenery as she sat behind him, leaning on his back in a daze until she asked, "Satoshi, have you thought about your future?"
"I do."
"Huh? Really?" Kaho was surprised and also frightened by his unhesitating answer.
"Yes." Satoshi nodded. "I plan to become a son-in-law in your family and be a Shinto priest."
"...."
While Kaho was in a daze, Satoshi knew that the best path for him was to become a Shinto priest of her family shrine.
Many choices existed for him, especially when his women could lead him into an easy path.
A mangaka was good, but Satoshi didn't plan to become a mangaka for too long, and he might as well buy the company as being a mangaka.
The doctor was good, but if he wanted to be the best, he had to enter a famous university hospital rather than just going into Irisu's hospital, which was located out of nowhere in Takayama.
As for being a farmer or businessman with Chitanda's relation, Satoshi didn't have much interest since agriculture wouldn't bring him much money.
Instead, being a Shinto priest would bring him a lot of influence, and it was an interesting choice.
At the same time, Satoshi knew that this was something that he had to do. Yes, it might be unfair for Ibara, Irisu, and Chitanda, yet he knew well that out of all the women that he was with, Kaho was his first, and he had to answer her.
"R-Really?"
"Yes, so don't be a scumbag after you took my first time, okay?"
"...."
Satoshi thought that Kaho was so speechless by how shameless he was, but unexpectedly, she hugged him tightly and said in a muffled voice, "I will make you happy!"
His shirt was slightly wet, yet he didn't say much and just pedaled quietly.
Meanwhile, Kaho looked up, trying to see his figure clearly. Still, it was the same as before, as she couldn't see him clearly due to the light of the sun that basked over him; yet even so, she could feel his warmth, and she knew he had made up her mind to stay with her.
"I will make you happy, too."
"I will make you even happier!"
"...is that something that you should compete with me?"
"Of course!"
Giggling happily, Kaho hugged him; he smiled.
The two continued to talk as if they were the only ones in this world.
