“Good morning, Akimi.”
Yō kept his composure as much as possible and greeted Marin as if to show that he had nothing to be ashamed of.
Then Marin, who was spacing out, came back to her senses and hurriedly bowed her head.
“G-good morning, Hazakura-kun, Nemoto-san.”
“Good morning, Akimi-san.”
Kasumi returned the greeting to Marin, but Marin couldn’t help but stare at Kasumi’s face.
(Just like from what I’ve heard, she’s really close to Hazakura-kun… I can’t underestimate her after all…)
Marin recalled her conversation with Nagisa last night and made up her mind again.
“It’s unusual to see you on the way to school.”
“Ah… well, a lot has happened…”
“Is there something bothering you?”
Marin fumbled vaguely as if she was having trouble saying something, and Yō, who approached her, was worried that something might be happening to her.
However, Marin immediately shook her head.
“No, there’s nothing.”
The reason why Marin was late for leaving the house was because of the long phone call she had with Nagisa and for another reason.
But Marin couldn’t say anything about it right away, and she squirmed in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Kasumi looked up at Yō’s face with a frown, and opened her mouth.
“Yō, don’t take it too slow or we’ll be late, okay?”
“Oh, yeah, I know.”
After being hurried by Kasumi and remembering that he didn’t have much time to get to school, Yō turned on his heel to head to school.
However―
“U-umm, Hazakura-kun…!”
When Marin called out to him, he stopped again and looked at Marin’s face.
Then again, Marin fidgeted shyly and gave Yō an upward glance with a lot of heat.
Kasumi had a bad feeling when she saw this, and she immediately opened her mouth to interrupt Marin, but Yō held up his hand to stop Kasumi from speaking.
“What’s wrong?”
He then tilted his head towards Marin and asked her in a gentle voice.
Kasumi stared at Yō with an argumentative look in her eyes, but Yō decided that it would not be a good idea to argue with her and swallowed his words.
Marin, who is currently in a state of excitement, is unaware of the interaction between the two and opens her mouth to Yō in an embarrassed manner.
“Umm, actually I’ve made a lunch box for two people… Would you like to eat on the roof today?”
It was an implied invitation to eat alone together.
If Yō made such an approach, Kasumi could not ignore it, and she tried to open her mouth, hoping that this time.
However, Yō stopped her again.
In response, Kasumi began to smack Yō, while anxiously looking at Marin.
As the students were already gathered near the school gate, they were having this exchange and people were saying, “Shuraba!? It’s a Shuraba right!?”, the people around Yō were happily saying this as they witnessed this exchange.
If it was just Kasumi and Marin, everyone would just start to get worried, but now that there is a mediator which is Yō, they can now just watch the quarrel with a peace of mind.
And the situation of a man being embarrassed by the enviable situation of being fought over by two beautiful girls was simply interesting and pleasant to watch.
While gathering their gazes, Yō fended off Kasumi’s hand and opened his mouth to Marin.
“You wanted to talk about something?”
“Ah―yes…!”
Marin nodded her head happily as Yō immediately understood what she wanted to say.
“That’s right. So don’t give us any strange ideas.”
After showing Kasumi why Marin wanted to be alone with him, Yō told Kasumi, who was still hitting him.
However, Marin’s demeanor only added to Kasumi’s anxiety, and she continued to look at Yō with a pensive look.
“Just so you know, you can’t just come to the roof by accident, okay? You already know that we will go to the rooftop at noon, and me and Akimi already know you’re planning to do that.”
“―Wha!?”
And then, just as Kasumi was starting to look into getting in by an “accident” at noon, Yō made the first move, and a shocked expression appeared on her face.
Seeing this expression, Yō couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
(I knew it wasn’t a coincidence when she showed up at the diner before…)
“Um…?”
“Ah, my bad. I’m fine with that.”
As he gazed back into the eyes of the teary-eyed and pensive Kasumi, Marin called out to him, and he turned to her and nodded.
This made Marin’s face bright and cheerful, while Kasumi’s face was gloomy.
If there hadn’t been people around, Kasumi would have done everything she could to spoil it, but now she was under the scrutiny of everyone around her, and she knew that if she spoiled it here, it would only make Yō hate her.
So she had no choice but to be depressed― the students around them who were watching the scene began to wonder what the relationship between the three of them was all about.
Looking at their surroundings with a sideways glance, Yō began to think.
(Well, Akimi’s probably just asking for advice, but the matter with Kasumi is troubling…)
When he saw Kasumi’s attitude that she clearly didn’t want Marin and Yō to be together, he was worried that Kasumi’s bad reputation would start to spread.
Therefore, with a view to discussing it with Haruki as soon as possible, he took the school’s two most beautiful girls and walked into the school building.
(―Huh? Come to think of it, didn’t Nemoto-san… call Hazakura-kun “Yō”…?)

Translator’s Comments: The last line was either the people around them or Marin. It ended abruptly here, anyways it looks like it’s Marin’s part now. Time to lie low kekw.
By the way, I’m currently having a collab in a new series we’re working on which is kinda like Chuunibyou (well, the main characters are chuuni alright). It looks sweet so far, and yes of course, it’s romance. If you guys want to have a read, click here. There are 6 chapters that are up as of now. Please give it some time and read it too!
As for my Ko-Fi goal, I’m currently at $95 / $200 but I’m afraid that will have to be postponed for a bit (the buying of laptop in case we actually reach the goal very soon). We’re moving houses by August 6 this year so basically 3 days as of this writing, and uhh, my mother used the donos as part of downpayment for the new house we will be moving to. She intends to pay it back as soon as things settled down so I hope you guys can understand, I’ll probably release less too because of that as I’m about to get my vaccine shots soon and I heard it destroys a person’s arms and strength for days so that’s that. Thanks for the continued support!

this is going to be a long run
Ashles
Aight, its been fun till now but im out cuz i hate harems(its a personal opinion so dont shun me for no reason )
AJ1703
Well I can respect your opinion, but I mean, look at the title. That title screams out Harem or at least love triangle. This series is definitely a love triangle and that’s still the case till the latest chapter. And I suggest you drop this series from here on out. It’s literally just fluff with Kasumi and going back and forth short chapters with almost no progression cuz idk what happened to the author and what he smoked to make it this far too long.
Jonathan14
Is that so? Dang the volume was pretty good so i hope the author will give some quality story just like the vol 1 or his other series
Love this novel
Why is it that everywhere I go to read, I read about the side effects of Vaccine(in another novel another tl got semiparalised)?! This is so ironic as I just came after taking the vaccine!
kitsune
idk man kasumi is either sigma or zeta
kitsune
somewhere in between maybe cuz i swear she can be a straight up cuck to others but deredere to 1 boi
AJ1703
Well it was stated that she only cares about Yo and doesn’t give a fk about others so… that’s that kekw
kitsune
yeh she did say he’s quite addictive lmao
also wanna know how to make a yandere but it seems like the author doesnt really wanna talk about the past so we can only speculate
Dee
Neither.
That system is literally fake and debunked. There is no such thing as alpha, sigma, zeta, beta, or omega types.
The research was based on wolves in captivity and when the research was applied to wolves in the wild it was found to not even begin to describe the family group dynamics. Nor does it apply to people for the same general reasons.
kitsune
yeh i know its really dumb
but then thats the reason why people like it so much
cuz it doesnt make any sense and they can just step on others knowing that it doesnt reflect their exact true self
Yakiyo
:NotLikeThis: Im falling more into the depths, i cant decide who to support, i feel like im gonna get hurt either way, marin’s oppai or kasumi’s cute side. NOOOOOOOO this is chaos : ‘ (
