The Boy Who Was Doing The Wrong Thing Will Do His Best - Chapter 69

Volume II Chapter 69: (Kazuya Sawakaze’s Perspective)

“Hehehe.”

Going to school definitely makes me popular. Five security guards surround me, but when I assure them I’m okay, they step back a bit.

“Uh, s-sorry.”

That was just a coincidence. As I turned the corner in the hallway, I accidentally touched the chest of a girl who was coming from the opposite direction.

I panicked, worried about being accused of sexual harassment because of my knowledge from a past life. However, the girl, though her face turned bright red, didn’t seem to mind and actually appeared happy to be touched by me.

“It’s, um, it’s okay.”

I soon understood the reason. Despite her embarrassment and red face as she backed away, she was actually boasting, saying that I had touched her chest with a mix of excitement.

Ah, it’s a world with few men. Maybe being touched by me, who is handsome and popular, brings them joy instead.

After that incident, whenever girls approached me, I offered them the service of grabbing their chests, and they all happily squealed and squirmed with delight. It seems they’re genuinely happy when I touch them. Their faces turn red as they wiggle in excitement.

If I keep groping their chests, I might even get confessed to. Nice. It’d be great if they all became my girlfriends.

In school, I limited myself to just having a girlfriend. I thought it wouldn’t be right to impregnate high school girls. It would tarnish my image. Instead, I showered my five wives with affection.

My wives also desire to have children, and if they do, it’s not a problem because new guardians will be assigned.

By consistently posting dance videos and live streams, I caught the attention of a well-known music program. This happened just after I announced my upcoming second song.

While my videos have been featured in the news before, this is the first time I’ve received an offer to perform.

I leave the negotiations to my wives, who are capable guardians, and focus on finishing my new song.

Similar to last time, I’m weaving together songs from memories of my past life to create a cohesive piece. Although Mikan-san, the absence has slightly affected the final quality, it’s still passable. Besides, there are no other male musicians around, so I doubt anyone will complain.

“What’s up with that girl?”

Utako, the program reporter. Because she asked weird questions, the atmosphere in the classroom where I returned after finishing singing was awkward, and the program ended. Taketo Gouda? Anyway, I’m not interested in guys, so I have no intention of remembering.

It’s better to remember the names of girls at school than to remember a guy’s name. It’s hard because there are so many of them. But if I don’t remember, my image at school will suffer.

But well, my wife said it’s okay, so I decided not to worry about it.

“Are you Kazuya Sawakaze-san?”

One day, I was approached by Reika Tojo, a senior student who is the daughter of the Tojo Group. 

“That’s right.”

If I had just listened to what she said and nodded along, I would have been arbitrarily engaged, but oh well. The Tojo Group seems pretty big, and having the wives of the guardians isn’t a bad thing; rather, they enthusiastically supported it, which is good for me.

I realized the truth of that story a month later when I became the exclusive model for “Mikudaas,” a high-end brand under the Tojo Group’s umbrella, and even released a photo book. I started getting interviews and increasing appearances in various magazines, and I even became a regular on quiz shows.

Of course, the answers to the questions are given beforehand, so whether I answer correctly or not is up to me. It seems I can do as I please. Next up, could there be opportunities for acting in dramas? I’ve been hearing talk about that too.

Oh, this also came through the connections of being affiliated with Big Hand Entertainment Agency under the Tojo Group, but since the manager here, Momoka, was a fan of mine, she happily cried tears of joy when she became my wife after doing her job.

Today, she enthusiastically went to promote me again.

“Armed Girls?”

Reika Tojo appeared after a long time, and she asked if I knew about “Armed Girls.”

***

“Armed Girls? What’s that?”

“It’s a band group that recently started gaining momentum on NetTube, centered around a guy named Taketo Gouda.”

“Taketo Gouda?”

“He used to be the only male NetTuber, but he disappeared after uploading videos insulting you, Kazuya-sama, and receiving a lot of backlash.”

“Hey hey, are you saying that fat guy who came after me? Spare me the jokes.”

“He collaborated with female NetTubers, but didn’t you really know about him? Well, it doesn’t matter. Since he didn’t have his own channel, I was also careless…”

Tojo explained that now, as she promotes me, she’s putting pressure because this guy’s emergence in the industry would affect the overall performance of the Tojo Group, which is pushing for you.

“Hmm.”

Oh, pressure and all, scary huh, huff huff, that fat guy is no match. It’s annoying that he’s slimmed down and looks presentable, but it’s fine as long as he stays sunk forever.

Just watch me excel while you chew on your fingers.

“Haa, if only he could debut in a year from now, I would have brought him into our fold…”

Huh? Maintain this state of mediocrity and pull him into the Tojo Group next year?

“What!?”

“Is there a problem?”

“Nothing but problems. If he’s around, we don’t need such a guy!”

“Well, that’s impossible. The momentum of Armed Girls is incredible right now. We’re pressuring them, but it’s only a matter of time. Maybe not even a year, perhaps not even six months. Plus, there’s information that the rival group, the Nishijo Group, is contacting him. It’s gotten to the point where there are talks of accelerating our plans to bring them over here rather than let them be pulled into the rival group.”

“Ugh, i-if it’s not enough with just me, then there’s no engagement!”

“Haa, I thought Kazuya-sama was a bit more clever… Well, I can’t respond to this matter on my own, so I will report it to the group’s representative, our grandmother. It will take some time for the discussion to proceed from there. Is that acceptable?”

“Ugh, I suppose…”

“Tojo-sama! I apologize for interrupting suddenly. I am Rinko, one of his wives. It seems Kazuya-sama is experiencing unexpected events and is unable to make a calm judgment. So, could we please postpone this discussion and talk about it again after some time? Please, I beg of you.”

“”””P-please…””””

As Rinko bowed her head, the other wives also bowed simultaneously. Of course, I didn’t bow my head because I hadn’t done anything wrong.

I actually think Tojo should be the one bowing her head since she’s the one saying unreasonable things. But I know that won’t work with a rich heiress, so I keep it to myself.

Tojo glared at me.

“Well then, Rinko-san. Please discuss this thoroughly with everyone and give us your answer. Kaede, please make sure to confirm it later.”

“Yes, madam.”

The one who responded seemed to be Tojo’s secretary-like woman. She glanced at me briefly before leaving with Tojo.

In the end, I was persuaded by my six wives to accept Tojo’s proposal, but the response from Tojo remained a mere suggestion to wait for a while. I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being ridiculed, so I secretly started seriously considering breaking off the engagement without telling my wife.
