(Chastity Reversed) The Legitimate Wife War: How I, a Harem-Hater, Ended Up Creating an Ultra-Eccentric Harem with a Villainess, a Sadistic Beauty Teacher, a Scheming Classmate... etc. - Chapter 124.1: I Will Definitely Save You

After finishing dinner, I was relaxing on my bed after a round with Kazari-san when my phone beeped.

“…Oh, a message from someone. Kazari-san, get it for me.”

“Sigh, what a spoiled master… here you go.”

Kazari-san handed me the phone and rested her head on my shoulder.

Her lovely scent wafted over, making me feel aroused again.

I wanted to go for a second round, but… I should read the message first.

The sender was… Aoyama-san? That was unusual.

Setsuna: [I want to ask you something directly. Come to the school rooftop early tomorrow morning. If you don’t, I’ll reveal your secret]

Kazari-san, who had been peeking at the phone, made a puzzled face.

I was probably making a similar expression.

“Quite a provocative message. Did you do something to anger her?”

Kazari-san’s suspicious gaze.

“No, I don’t have any memory of angering her.”

She had greeted me normally on the way home and ran off.

Besides, when she said she’d reveal my secret… I wasn’t sure which one she meant.

…Maybe about the fiancée system?

About Akizuki-san and Tachibana-san being fiancées, or about adding Shiraishi-san as a fiancée?

I didn’t know. There were too many secrets that came to mind.

When I looked at Kazari-san on the bed, she showed me a tablet.

Let’s see, this was—

“—Considering the timing, this might be part of why Aoyama-sama contacted you. I was going to report this later, but please look at this footage.”

The tablet video started playing. This footage was probably from the security camera in front of our house.

It showed a woman in a tracksuit and sunglasses hiding behind a nearby utility pole, watching the house.

She was probably trying to hide her identity, but from her blonde short hair above the sunglasses and her tall height, it wasn’t hard to figure out who it was.

“And if we rewind this further…”

“Tachibana-san is going into the house.”

Soon after, Aoyama-san appeared and hid behind cover. And then—

“—Here we are.”

Next appeared me in my school uniform and Kazari-san in her maid outfit getting out of the car.

“…I see, so we were seen entering the same house together.”

“It seems that way.”

“Is that bad?”

“Whether it’s bad or not, officially it probably isn’t. However, Aoyama-sama might be angry about you hiding the fact that you have a fiancée in your private life, so privately it might be bad. But—”

Kazari-san still looked puzzled.

That made sense.

“—Right, there’s no need to call me out. If she wanted to ask, she should start with Tachibana-san first.”

Of course, Aoyama-san and I were friends.

But I don’t think we have the kind of best friend relationship that Aoyama-san and Tachibana-san have.

That’s exactly why if she was angry about hiding the existence of a fiancée, I think it should be directed at Tachibana-san, not me.

“That area might be connected to the reason she was following Tachibana-san.”

“That’s right. We only learned about their relationship by pure coincidence.”

“Also, calling it a ‘secret’ seems a bit exaggerated. It might be that Aoyama-sama’s vocabulary is limited and she used that expression, but revealing secrets usually aims to cause fatal damage to the other party. Considering that, your relationship doesn’t fit that description. If it were about Akizuki-san, I could understand…”

She casually dissed Aoyama-san.

But as Kazari-san said, there was something off about it.

Aoyama-san had lurked in front of the house right after Tachibana-san came home.

Thinking about it that way, it made more sense that her target was Tachibana-san, not me.

“I guess we’ll have to ask tomorrow~”

“That’s right… However, please be cautious. I don’t think it’s likely, but there’s a possibility that Aoyama-sama could be an agent of Eucharis. Please make sure I can hear the conversation so I can rush over immediately.”

“Yeah, please do.”

“Well, you have school tomorrow… shall you go to sleep early tonight?”

Contrary to her words, Kazari-san was looking up at me with upturned eyes.

The cleavage visible from above—or rather, being shown to me—clearly wasn’t trying to make me sleep.

“There’s no way I could sleep after being provoked like that!”

“Oh my, I didn’t mean it like that… well, I guess I’ll be attacked, how scary.”

She said while narrowing her eyes in delight.

Of course, there was no way I could go to sleep early, and we ended up going three rounds.

****

Kazari-san woke me up earlier than usual, and I headed to school with a foggy head.

Actually, why could Kazari-san wake up with such a nonchalant face after being so intense last night?

Does she have infinite stamina?

While thinking about that, the car arrived at school.

I put my phone on call and headed to the rooftop. Kazari-san should be waiting nearby.

Because it was early morning, there were few students coming to school.

I entered the school building and headed to the rooftop.

I climbed the relatively new stairs, opened the door, and Aoyama-san was already waiting on the rooftop.

“…What’s this about? Aoyama-san… It doesn’t seem like a typical confession or that kind of youthful story, judging by your expression.”

Aoyama-san’s face looking at me was one I’d never seen before. It was like she was looking at her parents’ killer.

…No, really, why?

Why are you angry?

“What is it you want to talk about? I have absolutely no idea.”

If she said something troublesome like “Don’t you even know why I’m angry?!” like some difficult girlfriend, I’d be at a loss.

Well, I don’t think Aoyama-san would do something like that.

“I’m not good at beating around the bush, so I’ll ask directly—”

“—What’s the relationship between Mizuri and Takeda-kun? Is Takeda-kun the cause of Mizuri’s wounds? …Depending on your answer—”
