The Kansai Villain’s Rebirth: I Accidentally Ended Up With a Harem.

Conversation of Lovestruck Maidens.

Akitani Mio’s POV.

“Ehhh!? You confessed to Daiki-kun!?”

“Yeah. A bunch of things happened and my heart just got so full of ‘I love him~’, I couldn’t hold it in♪”

It happened one lunchtime. Shi-chan said she had a secret to tell us, so we went to an empty classroom in the old school building — hardly anyone ever comes by there. And then she dropped a bombshell on us.

Well… with Shi-chan, I always felt like it could happen any time. But hearing it for real still shocked me. Rin-chan was so surprised she dropped her chopsticks onto her lap.

“S-So… Dai-kun… Tennouji-kun… what did he say?”

“He said, ‘Please be my girlfriend!’ I got his yes!”

When I heard that, it felt like Daiki-kun was slipping further away from me, and my chest ached sharply. Ever since I realized I liked him too… the desire to be his girlfriend has only grown stronger.

If three childhood friends fall for the same person at the same time… then it’s whoever wins his heart first.

Rin-chan looks pale… is she alright…?

“I-I see… that’s wonderful… really…”

“Rin-chan?”

“It’s nothing. No— really…”

Her voice is trembling… oh no… this hurts to watch. Rin-chan loves Daiki-kun that much too.

And my chest still hurts…

When I was sick and he came to visit me, I was so happy I forgot I even felt bad.
He worried about me.
He even made me warm, delicious udon.
He looks so cool when he plays basketball.
So strong. So reliable. Watching him push himself even when he jammed his finger made me want to cheer even harder.

He’s good at cooking, smart, athletic… kind.
He always praises my lunch…

A guy like Daiki-kun… I can’t give up. My feelings won’t stop.

“Hey hey, this is where the secret part really starts, okay? Mio-chan, Rin-chan, you both like Dai-chan too, right?”

Shi-chan asked — not looking smug, not bragging… it looked like she was really planning something, serious.

She wanted to know our true feelings first.

“I like him… I love Daiki-kun…! Maybe it’s early for a high school girl to say this but — I could say I love him with all my heart!”

I poured out everything I’ve been holding in.

“…I love him. I can’t give up. I’m sure he’s my first and last love. If he’s not by my side… I will never fall in love again. That’s how deeply… I love him.”

Rin-chan’s feelings were just as strong. Shi-chan nodded. I nodded as well.

“Hehe⭐︎ I knew it! We really are the best childhood friends ever! Three hearts as one! So— Mio-chan, Rin-chan, I want both of you to be Dai-chan’s girlfriends too!”

““Eh…?””

We said it in perfect unison. Me… and Rin-chan… also Daiki-kun’s girlfriends…?

“But… you’re already his girlfriend, Shina. Why would you…?”

“Hmm, see— I looked into a lot of things, right? Some kind of anti-discrimination? Turns out men can have up to three wives, right? So three girlfriends should be fine too, right? I really want to stay with Dai-chan forever, but I also want Mio-chan and Rin-chan with us forever!”

“Shi-chan…”

“Shina…”

I’ve thought about that too.
Once we graduate high school and go to university… we’ll probably go separate ways.
Shina-chan has been my best friend since elementary school, and Rin-chan has been with us since middle school — I feel safe with them.
I want to stay together forever.

And with Daiki-kun added in… we could get married… have children… and raise love together…

“Shina, are you really okay with that? Don’t you want Dai-kun all to yourself? I’m sorry… I thought… I thought I wanted Dai-kun to myself…”

“Rin-chan, I thought that too… but… I…! I want to be together with Shi-chan and Rin-chan from now on, always! And Daiki-kun will be with us too…!”

“…You’re right… My days are only so happy because Mio and Shina are there. Truly. Including Dai-kun, the four of us. Yes… I approve of Shina’s idea. Because I love Dai-kun. And because I love Shina and Mio too.”

“Rin-chan!”

“Yayyy!! I’m so happy! Hehe~ Then we really are besties forever! Or wait— is ‘friends’ still the right word here?”

“Well, we’re not his wives yet so… shared girlfriend friends…? That sounds unfair to Daiki-kun…”

“Haha, let’s not overthink it, okay? More importantly… has he actually agreed to this, Shina?”

“Yep! I talked to him and he said if you two are okay with it, he’d be happy!”

“…I see.”

Ahh, Rin-chan’s touching her hair… she’s happy. Then…

“The only question is… when do we confess…?”

“Yeah, mine kinda happened in the heat of the moment… oh! Watch out for Imamiyā!”

“Imamiya-kun? What about him?”

“Well, you see? Yesterday he called me out—”

Doi-kun? Or Takii-kun?
A-a hidden photo!? He did something like that…?
Shi-chan now calls Toshiya “Imamiya,” that’s a big downgrade…
Shi-chan never gets that angry unless someone insults her boyfriend… And her outfit was so cute too…

“Mio-chan, Rin-chan — I’ll be waiting for your report that you’ve become Dai-chan’s girlfriends!”

“P-Please give me some time…”

“Yes… me too…”

“Okay! Let’s all be his girlfriends! Our dream — the three of us marrying Dai-chan someday! Ready—?”

“Yeah!”

“O-Okay…!”

Yes! I need to work hard to become a wonderful girlfriend too!

Fuyuki Rinko’s POV.

Shina is saying all this but… would Dai-kun really be happy having someone like me as his girlfriend?

I don’t have Shina’s charm.
I can’t cook like Mio.
And I don’t have a nice figure like the two of them…

Saying it out loud hurts… but even so — Dai-kun said he would be happy.

Then… I want to respond to that feeling.

When Shina said she was dating him… my mind went completely blank.

I trembled.

That’s how big a place Dai-kun holds in my heart…

Yes.
This is my first and last love.
That’s exactly why I want to see it fulfilled.

If he’s there, I need nothing else.
If he wishes, I’ll dye my hair.
I’ll change my taste in clothes.
I’ll even learn to be more cheerful. That’s how much I… love him.

At the same time, Shina and Mio are my precious friends. My best friends. I want to stay with them forever.

They say one who chases two rabbits will catch neither… but if Shina and Mio are with me, I believe my life will overflow with joy.

Shina brought this idea. Dai-kun agreed. Yes… besties forever.

Three girlfriends. And someday, three brides.

…Yes. I’ve always dreamed of that.

When I was little, I loved reading stories of princes and princesses.
“The princess lived happily ever after with the prince.” That’s the dream I’ve held since I was a child.

The prince is Dai-kun.
The number of princesses has increased to three…
but that’s okay.

Do your best, okay?
My prince.
My… our beloved prince.
