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 53 I'll Return It When I'm Done (Hina's Perspective)

Chapter 53: I’ll Return It When I’m Done – Hina’s Perspective 

Suddenly, Kyou-chan… no, Tatara-kun, grabbed my hand, startling me. 

Fortunately, I hadn’t picked up my Calpis-like drink yet, so I didn’t accidentally spill it from the sudden action of Tatara-kun. 

From there on, it was Tatara-kun’s (Kyou-chan’s) lecture time for Tanigaki-sensei. 

Apparently, before they started eating, Tatara-kun had confirmed with the waiter that alcoholic drinks were served without straws, while soft drinks had straws. 

I was surprised because I had no idea about this. Tatara-kun mentioned that the place he used to work part-time at was the same, and I thought, “He’s worked part-time before? He’s so mature.” 

“So, what were you thinking, trying to make a minor drink alcohol in front of a police officer? You could get fired, you know.” 

Tanigaki-sensei, being lectured, confessed, “I was frustrated because my meat was taken away, so I thought I’d get her drunk and take advantage of her. I thought I’d win if she was intoxicated.” However, there didn’t seem to be much remorse, and in the end, she and Mizumoto-san drank the four Calpis sours on the table. 

“I may be fine, but if you try to take advantage of Hina after getting her drunk, I will never forgive you.” 

Tatara-kun, caught up in the moment, accidentally called me by my first name, “Hina.” 

Come to think of it, until a while ago, I had been acting spoiled and asking for meat, saying, “Please, Kyou-chan,” like I used to back in elementary school. 

Feeling a little embarrassed and turning bright red, Tatara-kun peered at my face and asked, “Did you drink any alcohol by any chance?” making me blush even more and causing him to worry. 

Once everyone had their fill, we decided to call it a night. Mizumoto-san paid the bill, and we left the restaurant. 

I was a little embarrassed because my stomach was sticking out from overeating, but Tatara-kun was a perfect gentleman and looked away while I put on my sweater. 

Before getting into the taxi, Mizumoto-san said, “Chisa, I’m going to have one more drink,” and headed to the convenience store, where she bought several cans of beer and Chu-Hi. 

We gratefully accepted their offer to drop us off, but this time, Mizumoto-san sat in the front passenger seat, and in the backseat, from left to right, it was me, Tanigaki-sensei, and Tatara-kun. I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t sit next to Tatara-kun because of the seating arrangement. 

Hmm?… Disappointed? Why would I be disappointed about not sitting next to Tatara-kun? But when I saw Tanigaki-sensei leaning on Tatara-kun and snoring, I felt annoyed. Tatara-kun looked bothered, and he didn’t seem pleased. 

I couldn’t stop myself from thinking that it was better than him acting lovey-dovey with her. 

When we arrived at my house, as I was getting out of the car, Tanigaki-sensei, who was sitting in the backseat and couldn’t get out due to the seating arrangement, wrapped her arm around Tatara-kun’s shoulder and said, “Then, I’ll borrow this guy for a bit. I’ll return him when I’m done,” leaving behind a mysterious message. “Driver, let’s go,” she said, and the taxi sped away. 

Tatara-kun had been kidnapped right before my eyes!?
