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 71 Honestly, it was Sachie-san...

Chapter 71: Honestly, it was Sachie-san…

I’ve decided to protect Hina, but the urgent issue at hand is Sachie-san.

My interaction with Sachie-san in this world has been brief, but if we count my relationship with her from the previous world, it’s been quite long.

Ever since I can remember, Hina has always been by my side, and Sachie-san has always been by Hina’s side.

Hina’s father was an excellent but busy man, often away on business trips to save money for Hina’s surgery, so his presence at home was minimal.

In his place, Sachie-san watched over me and Hina, and a dynamic was established where I protected Hina.

She was a reliable person who never slacked off when it came to doing what was necessary, and in a sense, I felt more indebted to her than to my own parents.

From this experience, the reason I decided to visit Sachie-san after school today, despite how difficult it was for me to admit, was because of the letter I received along with the bento (refer to Chapter 62). I genuinely feared that if I didn’t respond, she might do something to Hina, not physical punishment, but something insidious like whispering all sorts of inconvenient things in her ear, which would have a gradual but lasting impact.

This is really hard for me to say, but… I’m going to be honest, even at the risk of embarrassment. I reached puberty quite early, when I was still in elementary school.

Of course, Hina wasn’t the object of my desire at the time. It would be pretty disturbing for a sixth-grade boy to lust after a sixth-grade girl and reach puberty because of her.

Hina’s growth was genuinely slow before her heart surgery in middle school. Her chest was so flat that you couldn’t even tell if there was a hint of a bump (I confirmed this when we bathed together).

So, I’ll be honest about who I reached puberty because of… it was Sachie-san. Yes, Sachie-san, Hina’s mother from the previous world.

Yeah, I know I was a precocious kid in sixth grade.

This happened when I was in sixth grade in the previous world. One day, I happened to be apart from Hina, and I noticed that the sky was heavily clouded, and the wind had picked up.

On that day, I was running an errand for my family at my grandmother’s house in the same city, while Hina was at the municipal library gathering materials for a group study project.

As I left my grandmother’s house, the rain started to fall, and the wind was picking up.

My grandmother, who has now passed away, said to me, “Kyo-ukun, take this umbrella and wear this kid’s raincoat so you don’t get wet. Hurry home.” She gave me an umbrella and put a child’s raincoat on me.

I was worried that Hina might still be at the library, so I decided to make a detour and stop by the library before heading home.

In the midst of the strong wind and rain, I finally reached the library, and there was Hina, still diligently organizing her notes at the table.

Even now, Hina has this intense focus when she’s doing something, and she’s completely oblivious to her surroundings. She didn’t even realize that it had started raining.

“Hina, the rain seems to be getting worse. I came to pick you up,” I said.

“Kyo-chan, thank you for coming to get me. I appreciate it,” Hina replied with a radiant smile. It was a smile that I loved dearly, and even now, just thinking about it warms my heart.
