(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.

Several days had passed since I’d introduced Kazari-san to Mio-nee. They had passed, but something was still troubling me.

I was still worrying about the message Tachibana-san had sent me as we were leaving that day.

[Looking forward to our date☆ About the date plan… I should be the one thinking about it, but I’ll leave it to you instead! Think of a stylish course that would make a high school girl happy! Show me what you’re made of as a fiancé candidate, ‘kay? Thx☆]

Such an incredibly casual message had arrived.

Or rather, you could say it was a message showing that she was relying on me.

Hahaha. This was tough!

I tried thinking about the date plan a bit, but thoughts of Kuzuryu kept crossing my mind during my planning.

Even though I was trying to feel secure about Mio-nee, worries were still worries. I wanted to resolve this as quickly as possible.

I knew I didn’t have that kind of leeway. I even thought about asking to postpone the date, really thought about it, but.

Kazari-san stopped me.

“Kyo-sama, feelings are what matter in these situations. Women, regardless of era or age, are creatures who live by their emotions. They also tend to compare themselves with others. Therefore, since you’ve already gone on a date with Hosho-sama, you must treat everyone equally. I cannot recommend doing anything that might create a sense of favoritism. Of course, you could explain the current situation. But please think about it. Would these ladies vote for someone as their fiancé if he gets flustered by such a mi-nor trou-ble? No, they wouldn’t. Moreover, despite appearances, they’re all watching you carefully. So please do your best. Work properly on the date plan. Remember? The goal this time is a date that would make a high school girl happy.”

“You call the Kuzuryu situation a minor trouble?”

At my words, Kazari-san smiled slightly and said,

“Ah, that was their name, wasn’t it? I had forgotten about such an insignificant person.”

Hahaha, insignificant, huh? Insignificant indeed.

“True, just trash after all.”

“Fufu, that’s right, just trash.”

What a strong woman Kazari-san was.

“Picking a fight with the Hosho family is like challenging a mighty dragon, yet being allowed to live by mercy! I’ll make them regret it!”

“Amazing, Kyo-sama suddenly seems much more insignificant now.”

“I’m kidding, kidding.”

Maybe I’d end up getting crushed before I knew it too. I’d already managed to displease them the other day.

…What should I do?

“…But with the Hosho family backing us, there’s nothing to fear… Maybe I should transfer to working for the Hosho family.”

“Please stop?! Even as a joke, that’s troubling!”

“…I was joking?”

“What was that pause for?!”

We suddenly both became quite insignificant.

“But Kyo-sama, the Kyo-sama I know can handle this much easily. I’ll pretend the punching never happened in the end. So let’s just focus on what’s in front of us.”

“Isn’t it wrong to make me sound like a muscle-brain?”

“Then you’re a muscle-brain who’s good at studying.”

Hmm, so I was still a muscle-brain either way.

That aside, “I don’t know what makes high school girls happy!?”

“I’m not too sure about such things either…”

Yeah, it was over.

Even including my previous life, I didn’t have much experience dating high school girls.

Because I couldn’t fail, I wanted advice.

Mio-nee, maybe?

Hmm…

She grew up in the countryside like me.

She’d probably smile and suggest yakiniku! That might be a bit off.

Then who else did I know? But asking any of the fiancées…

I obviously couldn’t ask Tachibana-san since she was my date partner… Though Tachibana-san did ask me herself.

Then there was Akizuki-san. She seemed knowledgeable about women and probably liked them, but she seemed to dislike me. Not confirmed, but you know? In previous life terms, maybe a tsundere pattern.

…Maybe not.

Would be nice if she was though.

So that’s it.

All my acquaintances were out.

My lack of social connections was really hitting hard. I could have tried a bit harder in my previous life!

…Here’s where I could use the age-old strategy of relying completely on the Internet…

Hmm, but that was scary. Would it even be on the Internet? This world was different from my previous one.

“In that case, I’ll show my idea of the ultimate date…”

Time to show the youthful date I’d fantasized about long ago… First, since I wanted it to feel like after school, the meeting place should be at school… Ah.

And then I remembered. Someone I could rely on and consult with at times like this.

I wonder if they were busy now? For now, I’d try contacting them since they’d told me to reach out casually if anything came up.

This sort of thing wasn’t recommended in my previous life, but maybe it was different in this world. Well, whatever. It probably wouldn’t be an issue. It couldn’t be a problem when I was already engaged to Akizuki-san anyway.

When I sent the message, I got an immediate reply.

[I’m in a slow period now, so anytime is fine], they said.

That was really helpful.

The date was actually tomorrow, you see.

Since it was tomorrow, I needed to let her know the meeting place soon too.

So, I’d tell them I was coming now.

“Kazari-san, I’m heading out for a bit.”

“To scout locations for tomorrow’s date?”

“Something like that, yeah.”

“With someone?”

“Yeah.”

When I told Kazari-san, she looked a bit surprised with an “eh?”
