The Kansai Villain’s Rebirth: I Accidentally Ended Up With a Harem. - Chapter 121: Five Of Us Having Lunch Together.

Five Of Us Having Lunch Together.

Yeah… What the hell is going on here…? After I tripped and fell flat on my face, I couldn’t focus on class at all—my mind was completely elsewhere. I’d badmouthed Harumiya-san’s mother and the old man, Sebas to no end, yet… what was the point of transferring her from the renowned elite girls’ academy, Hanajyo, to Sumizome?

It seems refusing that money was the right call after all. That kind of thing happens a lot in business negotiations. There’s always some junior who gets sweet-talked into a deal, only to have a big contract fall through. One time, my boss—that bald bastard—grilled the kid so hard he came crying to me. I went along as backup, and sure enough, they were obviously trying to butter us up with pointless tea and snacks. The junior ate them, got called out for having no manners, and that’s what tanked the whole thing. I snapped—told them they were blowing the deal over something so trivial—and went off on them. Then the guy suddenly flips, saying, “You seem promising,” like he’d done a complete one-eighty. I told him to shove it and walked out. Ended up arguing with the bald boss again after that. Though I did make the junior land another big contract to shut him up.

In short, I must have earned some level of trust from the Harumiya family. I’m not convinced, though. There’s no way Harumiya-san’s worth just ten million yen. And a high schooler casually accepting ten million like that…? Could that happen? …Maybe it could. Well, whatever—let’s drop it. At any rate, Harumiya-san herself isn’t at fault, so I suppose I have no choice but to welcome her. At a glance, Shi-chan and Mio-chan look happy about it, at least.

Sitting next to Imamiya, huh… That worries me a bit… Looks like Imamiya’s already talking to her. If she’s pulling something stupid, she’ll get erased. This is the heiress of the illustrious Harumiya conglomerate, after all. Are Imamiya and her acquaintances? Oh, Imamiya’s starting to panic now. Guess not. She’s just staring blankly… What are you even trying to do? Well… whatever.

Uh… Self-introductions, huh… Why bother with introductions at this point…? I’ve already met her parents. Can’t be helped, though—she doesn’t know I’ve met Harumiya-san before. I’ll just play it straight. No jokes.

“Uh, um… nice to meet you. I’m Tennouji Daiki… Please at least remember my name before you go home.”

Yeah, that should do it. Slipped in a little deadpan humor. Perfect—kept it safe. Phew… I’m kinda nervous, though.

“What’s wrong, Tennouji~? You’re awfully nervous. Act more like the Superman you are!”

“No, sir… please, enough with the Superman thing…”

Ashiharabashi-sensei has been calling me Superman ever since I helped Rinko. Why, though…? Did I stand out too much in the second semester…? Basketball, the cultural festival, Rinko’s bullying issue… My reincarnated life has been way too eventful. I hope Harumiya-san doesn’t get any weird expectations. When our eyes met, she gave me a bright smile in return. What the hell, Imamiya—stop glaring at me.

***

Lunch break finally arrived. Throughout the entire break period, Harumiya-san had been bombarded with questions. She looks completely dizzy. She’s a proper lady from Hanajyo—go easy on the out-of-season transfer student, guys.

“Sa-chan! Let’s eat lunch!”

“Sakura-chan, eat with us~?”

Oh, here come the saviors. Shi-chan and Mio-chan. Rinko follows right after.

“I know a quiet spot. Would you care to join us?”

That might be a good way to escape the interrogation. She probably needs a break anyway.

“I-Is that really all right…? For someone like me to…?”

“Why not? We’re friends, aren’t we! Of course friends eat lunch together—it’s only natural!”

“Exactly. What’s there to worry about?”

“B-But I have been terribly rude to all of you…”

“It’s not like Harumiya-san herself did anything rude. Shi-chan and the others are fine with it, so why not come along since you’ve been invited?”

“Tennouji-sama…!”

“Time’s limited, you know. Hurry up and eat, or we won’t make it back to class—”

“Wah!? Shina-sama!?”

“Come on, come on—let’s go already!”

And so, we headed to the usual empty classroom in the old school building. Leaving the door wide open like that feels a bit off… but hey, in an eroge world, worrying about details like that is pointless. Mio-chan spreads out the plastic sheet she brought.

“Come on in, Sakura-chan! Let’s eat together!”

“Gohaaan—gohaaan—!”

“Here you go, Daiki-kun! Today’s bento is… teriyaki chicken~”

“Ooh, Mio-chan’s teriyaki is always incredible! This really pumps me up!”

“Eh? Mio-sama prepared Tennouji-sama’s bento?”

“Yep! It’s my daily routine. Daiki-kun always eats it so happily♪”

“Uoo… Teriyaki chicken and chicken soboro, too…!”

“The soboro has such nice flavor soaked in♪”

“Th-Then I suppose I will as well…”

“That looks awfully luxurious…”

“But there’s not much inside. I don’t eat very much, you see.”

“I see… Lately, I’ve been eating quite a lot myself, so even though my bento portions are small… my underwear has been feeling tight… Especially around my… hips…”

“Uu… M-Me too, my chest…”

“It’s still getting bigger!? Damn it…! Why won’t mine grow…? Dai-kun prefers bigger ones, doesn’t he…?”

“Eh? I like Rinko’s size just fine. They fit perfectly in my hands.”

“R-Really…? B-But lately they’ve been feeling a bit tight…”

“Want to go underwear shopping again?”

“Ah, I wanna go too!”

“Eh? Both Mio-chan and Rin-chan are… Shi-chan???” 

“Y-Yes!?”

“What about you, Shina? You eat plenty of Dai-kun’s cooking too, don’t you?”

“Nah, nothing for me. Oh, but if Mio-chan and Rin-chan are buying underwear, I might want some too~. I wanna have Dai-chan pick mine again♪”

“Must be nice, being so carefree…”

“U-Underwear… t-to have Tennouji-sama…!?”

“We’ve got underwear that Dai-chan picked out for us♪ Look!”

When Shi-chan showed her phone to Harumiya-san, her face turned so red I almost heard a “boing” sound effect. She must have shown her those photos in the underwear… When she sent them to me, I nearly fell over myself. It was the lingerie I bought, but seeing her actually wearing it… yeah, it’s hot. And Shi-chan really does have an amazing figure.

“Sh-Shina! You! What exactly did you show Sakura-san!?”

“Eh? Just me in the underwear Dai-chan bought for me.”

“You—! Don’t you have any sense of delicacy!? And of all people, to Sakura-san…!”

“Wah! Shi-chan, nooo!?”

This is turning into complete chaos. Harumiya-san looks like she’s about to faint. Too much stimulation for a refined lady…

“In that case! I, Harumiya Sakura, shall show everyone the underwear I am currently wearing!!!”

“Sakura-san!? What are you saying!? Come to your senses! Please—I beg you, stop trying to take your clothes off!”

“Gnununu! I have seen Shina-sama’s form! It would not be fair if I do not show mine as well!”

“We don’t need that kind of fairness! Sakura-chan, stop—!!”

“Ahh, what kind of underwear does an ojou-sama wear? I’m curious~”

“Shina, be quiet!”

It’s total pandemonium now. Harumiya-san’s thrashing around, so I feel bad, but… glimpses are unavoidable… Garter belt. White, huh… Force majeure, pure force majeure.

“Hey, hurry up and eat—lunch break’s gonna end soon.”

While munching on the chicken soboro, I urge the girls to eat faster. Shi-chan’s casually chowing down on her bread without a care. I offered to make her a bento, but she flat-out refuses. She says she’ll only eat when Mio-chan shares mine… She doesn’t need to hold back for my sake, though.

“Sakura-chan, stop! Please, really!”

“Sa-chan, if you don’t eat soon, lunch will be over?”

“You all are far too relaxed—!”

Harumiya-san had just reached for her skirt zipper when she finally stopped.

***

“I-I’m terribly sorry… I can’t believe I…”

“I’m exhausted…”

“Daiki-kun’s already almost finished eating…”

“It’s just that good.”

“Oh, Daiki-kun♪”

“Mio, are you angry or happy? Which is it?”

“Ufu… fufufu… ufufufufu!”

“Sakura-san?”

“Ahahaha!! S-Sorry! It’s just… somehow, it’s so… fufufu… fun!”

Scenes like this probably never happen at Hanajyo. An underwear showdown at that elite academy would be unthinkable. Hell, if this somehow got back to Ashurin-san, it’d be bad news.

“Ahaha! This is just how we always are!”

“Jeez… It’s always this kind of commotion…”

“Can’t we ever do things calmly…? Especially you, Shina…”

“Ehh~?”

“Ufufu…! Eating lunch together with everyone is so enjoyable!”

Harumiya-san looks like she’s having fun… Well, a daily life like this isn’t half bad. Really.
