I was cuckolded by my childhood friend, but I want to create a harem in a world where chastity is reversed and be happy. - Chapter 122: There's No Mistaking It

Chapter 122: There’s No Mistaking It

Swoooooosh!

I slid open the door to reveal a large, low, and heavy wooden table, behind which sat three men and women, along with one of the black-suited guards.

At the far end of the room was an elegant elderly woman, sitting across the long side of the table from Shizu-san and her prospective marriage partner. A black-clad woman stood behind the elderly woman, likely her attendant.

“Oh dear, I thought it was quite a ruckus out there. Did my granddaughter’s friends come to visit?” 

The refined elderly woman spoke with authority, befitting the head of an old and powerful family. Her long white hair was tied back in a single braid.

“Now, what brings you here? If you’re here to disrupt my granddaughter’s arranged marriage without a good reason, I won’t let you off easily,”

Hina looks uneasy as she watches the three of us—me, Shizu-san, and Kotono Toji. To reassure her, I give her hand a gentle squeeze, the same hand we’ve been holding since we slipped past the people in black, and then I let go.

“We’ve come to have you listen to our story. We want you to know about Iwashimizu, our school’s committee chairman, and that she’s our friend—the one we’re so proud of as our chairman. That’s why we came all this way.”

“I’ve been with Shizuku-chan since we were in elementary school, and she’s a precious friend, so I really want you to understand her better.”

Hina added.

Shizu-san looked at us with a mixture of surprise and curiosity.

“How did you know that I’m Iwashimizu Shizuku?”

Did you think I wouldn’t recognize you, Shizuku? Even without your glasses, and regardless of your hairstyle, makeup, or manner of speaking, there’s no mistaking it.

“I see, you came all this way just for that… For Shizuku. I admire your dedication, so I’ll hear you out.

But first, I must ask you to excuse us. I apologize for setting up this arranged marriage meeting and calling you here. I will make it up to you, of course.”

Madam Kotono addressed the prospective groom.

The attendant behind Kotono Toji whispered into a microphone hidden near her mouth, presumably giving instructions to the guards dealing with Kogarasu-san outside.

“Hina, could you go to the entrance of the restaurant and bring Fujioka and Marukawa here? They’re with the women in the black suit, so they should be easy to spot,”

Hina nodded.

Now, all we needed was for everyone to arrive, and we could explain to Madam Kotono about Iwashimizu and hope that she would understand.

What if she didn’t understand? Well, in that case, we would have no choice but to kidnap Iwashimizu and take her back with us.

After all, Iwashimizu Shizuku is our classmate, friend, and comrade.
