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 135: She Waved Back with a Smile

Chapter 135: She Waved Back with a Smile

 The days leading up to today passed by in a flash.

 Today is the day of the Sakura Festival. After finishing my morning run with Hina, I need to prepare lunch bento boxes.

 I’ve already done some light prep work, so all that’s left is to make onigiri (rice balls) and bake some items in the oven.

“Kyousuke-kun, I’ll be watching you from under the stage. I’m cheering for you, so do your best!”

 Hina’s words after our morning run uplift and warm my heart. We’ve promised to meet at 12 p.m. to watch Kogarasu’s sword dance.

 In my previous world, I was supposedly dating Hina, but I remember being disappointed when she didn’t come to watch my prefectural swimming tournament last summer. I wonder… Were we really dating?

 Thinking too much about the past might make me tear up, so I focus on quickly preparing the bento boxes and packing them into the tiered lunch boxes.

 I’m making a substantial amount of food since I promised to eat with three other people. Kogarasu has been busy with hair and makeup preparations since morning, so I don’t mind making a bento for her.

 Of course, I’m also grateful to Fujioka and Sango-senpai, who will be helping with the photography, so I put my heart into making the bento for them as well.

 Once the bento boxes are packed, I wrap them in a furoshiki cloth and place them in my sports bag. First, I’ll stop by the shrine to leave my luggage there.

 After running home and taking a shower, and making the bento, before I knew it, it was already 9:30 a.m.

 I need to leave now, or I’ll be late. Today’s forecast predicts warm weather throughout the day, but it might get chilly at night. For the Tatara and Himikawa families’ flower-viewing party under the evening sakura, I should bring a jacket and a knee blanket just in case.

 Along with a change of clothes, I pack a jacket and a blanket into my bag. I can’t let Hina catch a cold. Knowing her personality, she might feel guilty and dwell on it if she gets sick during this family gathering.

“Mom, you’re coming by car later, right? Please join us for the flower-viewing. See you later~!”

 After calling out to my mom, I leave the house. As I glance up at Hina’s second-floor window, our eyes meet. She seems flustered, but when I wave at her with a smile, she waves back.

 Yes, today, Hina and I will have a fun-filled day together.

 But first, I need to focus on the stage performance with Kogarasu… Wait, before that, I have an appointment with Yuuki at the shrine’s torii gate.

 After leaving my luggage at the shrine, I learn that Kogarasu is already in the preparation room, a small room in the shrine’s office, and Fujioka is with her.

 I can’t just barge into the women’s preparation room, so I send a message to Kogarasu’s phone: “I’m already at the venue, so contact me if you need anything.” Then, I leave the office.

 When I arrive at the shrine’s torii gate, Yuuki is already there, waiting for me.

“Kyousuke, you’re late. I’ve been waiting for half an hour!”
