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 127: I'd Regret It for the Rest of My Life (Hina's Perspective)

Chapter 127: I’d Regret It for the Rest of My Life (Hina’s Perspective)

Oh no… I did it… I said it without thinking…

I tossed and turned in bed, my thoughts swirling.

I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Shizuku-chan liked Kyousuke-kun.

So, when I realized that she might be forced to marry someone she didn’t love, I couldn’t keep her feelings a secret from Kotono-obaa-chan any longer.

Ever since Shizuku-chan, Kogarasu-san, and I started making bento boxes together, it was common knowledge among us that we all liked Kyousuke-kun.

If Kyousuke-kun became someone else’s, it would be truly unbearable and painful, but even so, I thought it was absolutely wrong for Shizuku-chan to give up in this way. That’s why I decided to convey Shizuku-chan’s feelings to her grandmother.

If she were to suppress her feelings and follow her grandmother’s wishes by choosing someone else, She would surely regret it for the rest of her life and it would weigh heavily on me.

In this world, where chastity is reversed, Shizuku-chan had always been interested in men since we reconnected in middle school. However, she had never been infatuated with a particular boy until she fell for Kyousuke-kun. She was a girl who loved the idea of love but had never experienced true love herself.

As someone who liked the same person, I couldn’t wholeheartedly support her, but I understood her feelings.

Kyosuke-kun is so different from other guys. No one can replace him, and it’s wrong to try to make someone a substitute for another person.

Sigh… I let out yet another sigh, unable to sleep. I kept tossing and turning in bed. It seemed like I wouldn’t be getting any rest tonight.

Am I making Kyousuke-kun a replacement for Kyou-chan?

I need to confront not only the growing rivalry for Kyousuke-kun’s affections from Shizuku-chan and Kogarasu-san but also my own complicated feelings.

The next day, Sunday, arrived, and it was time for our usual 7 a.m. morning run.

The dark circles under my eyes from a sleepless night were so prominent that I didn’t want to show my face to Kyousuke-kun. But since we had made a promise, I forced myself to get on my bike and head out.

As I left my house, I saw Kyousuke-kun, also looking tired with dark circles under his eyes, stepping out of his home. With a wry smile, he suggested, “Let’s skip the running today.”

“Thank you for yesterday. I couldn’t have done it without you,” he said, gently ruffling my hair. He then instructed me to go home and get some rest, showing his concern for my well-being.

Despite all the worries and thoughts that had kept me up the night before, I fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

Thank you… Kyosuke-kun… Good night…
