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 68: Fujioka Suddenly Crumbles

Chapter 68: Fujioka Suddenly Crumbles

 “Then, I’ll be counting on you three for the lunches. I don’t have any particular likes or dislikes, but if there’s anything I’m curious about or any requests, I’ll let you know.

 Also, please don’t use too expensive ingredients, especially Kogarasu. If you keep making lunches like today’s, the dojo might go bankrupt before it can be rebuilt.”

 As I said this, Kogarasu let out a bitter laugh. Today’s lunch had too many expensive ingredients for a typical allowance.

“Well then, thank you for the delicious meal. It was really good.”

 The three of them smiled happily at my words. Yuuki and Marukawa seemed a little disappointed, as they wished they could cook too.

 As we put the desks back in their original positions, I caught a glimpse of Kogarasu approaching Fujioka, the white-gal, in the corner of my eye.

“Fujioka-sensei, can I continue to ask you for advice like today from tomorrow onwards?”

 Fujioka, who was addressed, smiled slyly.

“Sure. I’ve taken a liking to you, and I never thought I’d be talking to a disciplinary committee member like this. I always thought you hated me.

 Plus, I don’t have a habit of sending salt to my enemies, but seeing the three of you makes me lose my edge.

 Haa… I thought girls would be more cutthroat when it comes to competing for guys.”

 Fujioka said, looking at me, Iwashimizu, and Hina in turn before returning her gaze to Kogarasu.

“Well, I have my own way of doing things, and I don’t intend to lose, but being able to ask so straightforwardly is one of your strengths.

 Keep trying even if you get rejected; that’s what suits you. I’ll listen to what you have to say, so do your best… Hey, wait a sec.”

 Suddenly, Fujioka grabbed Kogarasu’s face and examined it up close.

“Are you seriously going out like this without any makeup?… I’m sure you take care of your skin, but… to go out with absolutely no makeup on.”

 Suddenly, Fujioka crumbled. She was making an “orz” expression, and her exaggerated reaction startled those around her.

“H-Hey, I at least put on sunscreen! I’m a girl, after all.”

 Kogarasu replied, surprised. It seemed that Fujioka had managed to rattle Kogarasu, who always seemed to be living with a constant state of vigilance.

“Sunscreen isn’t makeup. Ah, forget it. I can’t believe how you’ve been living, probably thinking that a disciplinary committee member can’t wear makeup. I’ll teach you how to do school-approved makeup, so come to my place sometime.

 I’m aiming to be a makeup artist, so I’m pretty confident about my knowledge of cosmetics. But remember, you’re just a practice subject for me, so be prepared for that.”

 Fujioka grinned. Despite her tough-girl exterior, she had a soft spot for taking care of others, and I could sense a potential friendship forming between them.
