Around ten minutes later, the call ended. As for the result its within my expectation. We managed to convince her to allow Yue to spend the rest of the day here. And before the day ends, Im going to escort her to the condominium later after school.

Halfway through my talk with her, I let Yue step in again wherein they managed to calmly talk to each other. She faithfully explained her reasoning, with appropriate details to her manager. A far cry from their screams earlier. Furthermore, Yue promised that shed return, no matter what.

Reviewing the result of our talk, the ultimatum that I dropped was kind of weak if one analyzed it properly. Yet, with Miss Managers mind already a mess for knowing that Yue was with me as well as her genuine concern towards Yue, she eventually accepted it.

She left a warning for me though Something along the lines of I will make sure that youre going to give up and let the poor girl go.

Well, whatever shes planning to do, I would never give up. After everything that happened, I didnt want to disappoint Yue again.

Ill call you later. Do not walk outside without putting on the wig, alright? I reminded the pink-haired girl while pinching her flushed cheeks.

I understand, dear. Take care on your way. Sending us off with her most beautiful smile while using that endearment, Yue contentedly acted as my housewife.

Well, for all I know, shes also trying to provoke Akane again. The same as Shizu, she openly declared to Akane her wish to be the first girl I will marry.

Nonetheless, Akane only laughed it off while radiating her unyielding superiority. Shes open to challenges but shes confident that shed win that race in the end.

Anyway, having done our preparations, Akane and I were about to leave for school.

Admittedly, this was one of the reasons why that ultimatum was weak. I have school today. Although its well within reason to skip a day in case Miss Manager stubbornly persisted in taking her back, I only put that as our last resort

Yue understood it. Thats why she also did her best to convince Nagamine-san.

Moreover, the girl has another reason for wanting to stay in the house.

Shes hoping to meet my parents.

Yep. Thats courageous of her. Even without me suggesting it to her, the girl brought up that idea herself upon hearing that almost everyone already met them.

From what Ive seen from her actions ever since I accepted and dropped my hesitation to make her mine again, Yue is trying to catch up on everything she missed starting from the day I changed.

As an example of that, she also joined the Ruki Hub; the group chat dedicated to all of them.

She greeted everyone and easily fit in by getting to know them one by one before revealing her identity as the popular singer, Mabushisa Asahi.

The girl was using a different name so even those already aware of my connection with her took a while to recognize her.

And when they did, I got bombarded with questions again Some even straight up sent words of amazement at my incredible reach. Aoi even joked that it might not be far for me to bring someone from overseas she didnt count Edel as one. The adorable koala is here in our country, after all.

Anyway, I learned all of Yues exploits in the first few hours that she joined because she kept showing them to me. Shes extremely amused at the diversity of girls that shes now calling sisters.

Perhaps when I return from school, there are more stories shes going to tell me.

Uh That sounds exciting, in a way.

Today, I walked Akane up to their school gates. But because we met up with her three close friends along with Eri and Futabas boyfriends, our group wasn't that inconvenienced. It was rather smooth because we had three guys in the group.

Actually, that was the first time I saw Eri and Futabas boyfriends.

Wait. No. I probably already met them before. Just that, that was the first time that I interacted with them.

From what I observed, theyre pretty decent, at least. Further, theyre both too protective of their girls. Even though I introduced myself as Akanes boyfriend, they lingered close to Eri and Futaba. Theyre threatened that their girls would fancy me because of my appearance.

And since I had no obligation to ease their minds, I simply stopped paying attention to them. I only focused on Akane as well as Fuyus occasional guilty glances.

Right. The girl started acting awkwardly around me.

Earlier on the train, Fuyu approached me and apologized for yesterday. However, she said it in a way that I only caught the last syllable before quickly hiding behind Akane.

Perhaps shes afraid that I was still mad for how she acted yesterday or shes just that awkward at apologizing.

When I got a glimpse of her anxious expression, it was hard to imagine that she was that popular tennis girl at their school. Her personality deflated enough that she needed Akanes support when I was around.

Uh I never wanted to appear fearsome to her. But the girl convinced herself that I am.

In any case, Akane and I could only smile wryly at that. She somehow predicted that Fuyu would be like that and decided to just go along with it to let the matter slowly rest.

Befriending her to contain that suspicion from growing again would be put on hold.

We had to wait and not rush it.

The chance was nearer than I thought though. Thinking about it, Akanes period was just around the corner. Perhaps sometime around this week or the next.

When she started to become clingier again, I would be relying on Fuyu to take care of her. With our concern over Akane coinciding, Id be able to talk to her properly, even if its under the cover of that.

I mean, thats her obvious reason for confronting me; shes afraid that I was fooling Akane. So its also fitting that I borrow that reason to get close to her.

Mhm I better prepare for that instance.

Anyway, once I separated from them and started making my way back to the train station, I experienced hell

At the moment, three girls were standing in front of me, mesmerized by me with their clasped hands raised to their chests.

H-hello Which school are you from?

May I know your name?

Uhm If its not trouble, can we exchange contacts?

Those and similar questions kept on being thrown at me by the girls.

Because the effect of my new appearance was still at full throttle, I once again experienced what happened yesterday.

And this time, I couldnt find a Hashimoto I could latch on to escape this situation.

Furthermore, I noticed someone following behind me Its that guy from the Newspaper Club.

He spotted me from the gate. If not for the traffic created by waves of students coming to school, he wouldve reached me already

What to do?

Well, its simple

Uh Im Onoda, from Fourth High. I apologize but I cant give my contacts. Maybe, next time? After saying all that in a rather aloof way, I side-stepped and slipped away from them.

Thats effective. Unfortunately, a few steps later, I was blocked again.

And with that, I had to repeat acting and saying that for a few times before fully escaping from the excessive attention.

Oh, how I wish I can immediately get used to this
