I am that male friend in the harem story

Like the heart of a woman, the weather in the coastal city was unpredictable.

During the day, it was all sunny, but when the sun was about to set, it was raining hard as if hit by a storm, which made them have no choice but to rest at the hotel since it was too dangerous to force themselves to go home in this situation.

The rain was so heavy, and the wind was even heavier.

While the wipers could help with the rain, the wind was dangerous since it might throw something, such as debris or something heavy, which would wreck the car.

So, in the end, they decided to rest at the nearby hotel, waiting for the storm to finish tomorrow. Fortunately, it was a weekend, so they were okay.

"Is it okay, right?" Hiratsuka asked since she knew well that Tobe needed to talk with his father first.

"It should be okay."

While Tobe said so, inwardly, he felt helpless, wondering whether it was okay since he had made a promise with someone tomorrow, but let's see how it goes.

Regardless, he wondered why there was a storm when he had this unique ability known as the "Chosen One," which increased his luck dramatically, yet, as nothing could be done, he could only charge forward.

Only—

"How much is the room?!"

"It's about 15,000 yen (More or less 150 USD)."

"....."

Hiratsuka was at a loss, but it was normal since this was a coastal city, and it was located quite far away. If the price of the hotel was cheap, then how could they make money?

"What's wrong?"

"It's the price of the hotel room..."

Fifteen thousand yen was an okay price for a hotel room, but they needed two rooms as it was impossible for them to sleep in the same room.

No, was it impossible?

"Oh, I will pay for it. You don't have to worry."

What was the point of collecting a lot of money if not for this situation?

Money has value when it is used.

If it isn't used, then what's the point, right?

Well, saving is necessary, though.

Tobe planned to pay for the hotel rooms for the two of them, but Hiratsuka suddenly asked, "Do you have two futons?" As it was a traditional hotel, instead of a bed, a futon (Japanese-style bedding) was prepared, and if there were two futons, that would be acceptable.

"Yes." The staff nodded. "We always prepare two futons for a single room."

"Tobe, let's sleep together."

"Eh?"

"....."

So, under the persuasion of Hiratsuka, the two slept in the same room, but naturally, they had a double bed as it was impossible for them to sleep on the same bed.

If Hiratsuka wasn't careful, then Tobe would become a beast that would take her virginity!

Still, in her mind, Tobe might not be seen as a man as he was much younger, and as the older one, naturally, she would think of him as someone that she should take care of instead of lusting after, which made him sigh inwardly, so naturally, he didn't expect that something would happen between the two.

Yet, as the two ate their dinner calmly as they chatted about the weather and food, Hiratsuka looked at Tobe with a complicated gaze as she saw him so calm despite knowing that they would be in the same room.

Had he experienced this type of problem a lot?

Unlike him, who was so calm and composed, even if Hiratsuka was older, she felt her heart might break due to how fast her heartbeat was. Her body was also so hot, especially her face, as she thought that they would be sleeping in the same room.

"...can I drink alcohol?"

"Sure." Tobe nodded. "Go ahead, but don't drink too much."

"Okay." Hiratsuka agreed since she still had to drive tomorrow, so if she drank too much, it would be a little troublesome. "Don't worry. My recovery is quite good."

"It's better to be careful."

"Can you drive, by the way?"

"I can, but be prepared to be stopped by the police."

"...the staff don't even stop us from staying in the same room together. What are you afraid of?"

Even if Tobe was a high school student, his temperament and aura made him seem like an adult, and everyone in this place thought of the two of them as a couple, a lover instead of a student and a teacher.

This also left her at a loss since she knew the truth well, and what they did was just immoral.

As she let out a helpless sigh inwardly, she raised her hand and asked for a sake. "Excuse me! I want to order some sake!"

"Yes."

"Do you want some?"

"No, I am good with the sashimi."

"Yes, the sashimi tastes fresh and good."

"It's a coastal city, after all."

The fish had probably just been caught this morning, still alive, and were prepared right away. In this city, it might be something normal, but at their home, it was a luxurious thing, despite the fact that their home was located near the beach.

"The fish from the Pacific Ocean is nice."

"Better than Tokyo Bay."

The two laughed since they knew well what lurked deep in Tokyo Bay.

With what was dumped on the Tokyo Bay, it wouldn't be weird if a Kaiju emerged from that place, they thought.

Still, while the food tasted good, the alcohol tasted even better!

"Can I have more?"

"Hiratsuka-san..."

"It's fine. It's fine. You know that I am a black belt in karate, right? I train my body well, and this amount of sake is nothing for me!"

While Hiratsuka said so, she showed a smug expression, telling that her body metabolism was perfect despite the fact that she was about to reach 30, and it was impossible for her to get drunk.

Tobe wanted to stop her, but she didn't listen, seemingly hooked by the alcohol and drinking it like water, which made him speechless, yet in the end, he felt that it might be a good lesson for her, so he didn't stop her.

Hiratsuka didn't know what Tobe was thinking about, and she just continued to drink till her consciousness became hazy as if she was in a dream, talking as she wished until she felt a comfortable pillow, and clung to it tightly with a sweet smile on her face.

Only when the gentle light from the sun bathed her, Hiratsuka woke up, but she was naked, and Tobe was also naked.

More importantly, she clung to him tightly.

"..."

Watching his handsome sleeping face, her mind quickly became sober as her heart stopped, drained as blood drained from her face.

"D-Did I do it?"

At that moment, she knew well that her life was as good as over.

Still—

"Fiuh..."

Looking at the clean bedcover without any lewd residues, Hiratsuka sighed in relief since nothing had happened.

Yet, was her situation still good?!

Nothing is happening!
