My Online Friends Turned Out To Be the Ultra-Beautiful Girls in My Class and They Were Yandere - 81-82

Chapter 81: The End of the Field Trip

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

【Side: Hara Kamitsuru  】

Inside the bus on the way back. While Muna and the others were sleeping peacefully, I was looking back at the photos I took today on my phone. Photos of everyone wearing flower crowns, the swarm of butterflies. Pictures taken at the summit with the beautiful scenery in the background, and shots of everyone eating their lunches. Then there were the ones I ended up taking as two-shots with every single person for one reason or another.

Just looking at them, I felt the corners of my mouth relax into a smile. Man, so much happened today alone. But above all else, it was about Haruna. I was truly glad things turned out the way they did. I went in recklessly, but we managed to work it out. And Haruna was able to smile again.

And then, oh yeah… I guess I’m two-timing now. 

When she confessed to me back then, I was so, so conflicted. Because I knew Haruna was dating Misaki. But Misaki went and said what she did. Plus, there was that promise I had made to Muna a little while ago. I decided to take her hand. It was something that required a lot of resolve, but I had to do it. 

I have to fulfill my role as a boyfriend. I’m going to make them both happy.

“Zzz… zzz…”

“Fufu, so cute.”

I gently stroked the head of Haruna, who was sleeping with her head resting on my shoulder. My hero really was adorable. I could stay like this, stroking her hair forever. 

I don’t want to show her like this to anyone but myself.

“Nn… Hakkun?”

“Haruna. Sorry, I woke you up.”

I accidentally woke her up while I was petting her. 

“Nn?” What’s with that “nn?” Are you trying to kill me? Don’t you know? Being too cute is a crime.

“Ehehe, it’s okay. I got to be woken up by Hakkun petting me gently. Actually, I’m the one who should be sorry. Does your shoulder hurt?”

“Not at all. Besides, if you’re going to say that, look. Your girlfriend is fast asleep without any restraint whatsoever.”

“Fufu, you’re right. Isn’t Mii-chan cute?”

Turning my head the other way, I saw Misaki sleeping very comfortably, mumbling “Haa-chan, Haru-chan” in her sleep. 

Seriously, just how much does she love us?

“I’m awake now. Hey, Hakkun.”

“Hm, what is it?”

“From now on, I’m going to live as ‘this’ me.”

“I see. Is there a reason?”

“Up until now, I did that ‘Ice Queen’ act because I didn’t want men other than you approaching me. But starting today, I’ve officially become yours.”

“Don’t just say things like that so casually. Haruna doesn’t belong to anyone. Well, if I had to say, I guess you belong to me and Misaki now.”

It’s a bit embarrassing to formally say things like “belonging to me.” I’m not good at that kind of stuff. I always feel like I’m being cheesy.

“You’re embarrassed, aren’t you, Hakkun? How cute.”

“Don’t tease me. It just makes it more embarrassing.”

“…Hey, Hakkun. Thank you for everything. Ever since the time I was a shut-in.”

Her mischievous expression shifted into a slightly serious one. In her eyes, just a little—just a tiny bit—tears were welling up.

“What’s this? Why are you saying that out of nowhere?”

“I just felt like saying it. I realized I’m really just being saved by you all the time. I wonder what would have happened if you weren’t there.”

“Don’t think about such lonely things. I’m by your side now, so that’s all that matters.”

“Hihi, you’re right. I wonder if you’ll accept a thank-you gift from me.”

Haruna gently held my body through the seatbelt. Then, she brought her face close and stole my lips. Without saying a word, we just stayed in that quiet moment. My brain felt like it was melting a little. A feeling of happiness slowly filled my heart. 

Just as I thought, no matter how many times we do this, I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it. Not that I want to get used to it, though.

“Ah. It looks like we’re almost there. Shall we wake everyone up?”

“Yeah.”

We got off the bus and disbanded right there. Various students were making a fuss, asking, “Where are we going after this?” or saying, “Work is going to be brutal.” Of course, we were among them.

“What should we do now?”

“I have student council work, so I’ll take my leave here. Thank you for the fun time today, everyone. Let’s go out together privately again sometime.”

“I have to go to a lesson after this, so see you later. Thank you, everyone. And you, Haa-sama.”

Rin went off to her student council work and Nonoa went to her idol lesson, leaving just the four of us behind. Since they said they wanted to do something, we somehow ended up deciding to go to my house.

And so, the school trip—filled with various bits of anxiety, determination, and everything else—came to a safe conclusion. 

…Starting tomorrow, do I have to spend my time at school as a two-timer? I’m probably going to be killed for real.

Chapter 82: I Was Invited to a Popular Idol’s Concert

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

One month had passed since that school trip. If I had to name a major event from the past few days, it would undoubtedly be the midterm exams. Since it was my first set of midterms, I wanted to get off to a good start, so I asked Rin and Haruna many times to help me with my studies.

Thanks to them, my rank was somehow sixth. I was able to get off to a very good start—perhaps even too good. By the way, first place was naturally Haruna. Second place was Misaki, and third was Nonoa. It looked like Muna was in tenth place.

Aside from that, well, the true Haruna was starting to be widely accepted. With her sudden transformation, there wasn’t a single trace of the “Ice Queen” left, but that unexpected side of her actually created a buzz, and the number of her friends exploded in no time. Lately, she was quite the popular girl, constantly being pulled around by the girls in our class. Oh, and for the record, she was making sure to keep the fact that I was two-timing a secret.

Now, it was the middle of the rainy season, with nothing left to do but wait to enjoy summer vacation. Damp and humid days had been continuing for quite a while, making me feel pretty down. It was during lunch break on one of those days.

“Ah, Haa-sama. And Misaki too. There is something I’d like to give to you two.”

“Hm, something you want to give us?”

“Yes, this.”

Nonoa suddenly handed me two tickets. The words “Shooting Star” were written in large letters on the tickets, along with the date and other details.

“Is this, by any chance, a ticket for Stella☆Walker’s concert?”

Stella☆Walker, or “Stellar,” was the super-popular idol group that Nonoa belonged to. If I recalled correctly from what I heard from an online friend, trying to get these normally was absolute hell.

“Eh? Are you sure?”

“Yes. Or rather, I want you to watch me. You, Haa-sama, and Misaki.”

“If that’s the case, I understand. Next Saturday, right? I’ll gratefully accept and enjoy myself.”

Even though I had received the tickets like that, I knew practically nothing about Stella☆Walker myself. Well, I suppose I should start by studying their songs.

“Ah, Stellar tickets! You’d better put those in your bag quickly. To some people, those are worth more than a wallet full of money.”

“Eh, seriously? That much?”

“It really is that much. Even Mii, who’s out of the loop with idols, knows that much.”

“Ooh, I know! Then Haa-kun, let’s have a house date today! I’ll teach you all about Stella☆Walker!”

Change of plans. I was now going to be taught by a very cute and reliable senior.
