“Keiko, sorry for making you wait.” Haruto had a smile on his face, his voice gentle and kind.
“Eh!?” Keiko’s companions were all stunned, their mouths hanging wide open as if they could fit an egg inside.
This handsome man who came to the meeting driving a sports car was actually the person Keiko had invited?
Holy crap, so handsome and so rich?
When did Keiko latch onto a ‘big thigh’ like this?
Their hearts were full of doubt and amazement.
Haruto looked at their reactions and said with a smile, “It’s getting late. Let’s not keep everyone waiting too long. Shall we go up?”
“Yeah! Let’s go up quickly!”
Only then did Kumon Keiko snap out of it.
She excitedly pulled her companions along and followed behind Haruto, heading toward the KT.
Practically a Clown
In the KT private room upstairs, the lights were flashing, and the sound of music faintly leaked out from the crack in the door.
The others were already sitting together.
They had laid out some drinks and snacks on the coffee table, just waiting for Keiko and the others to return.
Everyone was talking excitedly, letting out cheerful laughs from time to time, full of anticipation for the party that was about to begin. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
A moment later, the door was pushed open.
Keiko walked in first, with Haruto following behind her.
Seeing Haruto walking in behind Keiko, the girls in the private room went quiet for an instant, and then their eyes couldn’t help but light up.
Haruto stood tall with a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, appearing as if he carried his own light under the lamps.
“So handsome!” one girl couldn’t help but whisper in amazement.
“Eh? You’re… Sawamura-san?”
Kurashiki Reina also quickly recognized Haruto.
Her eyes widened slightly, a hint of surprise on her face.
After all, Haruto was handsome, and plus, he had specifically gone up to the podium today to introduce himself.
That confident and composed manner had left a deep impression on Kurashiki Reina.
“Yes, Kurashiki-san. Good evening.”
Haruto gave a friendly wave, a gentle smile on his face, and then looked at the others in the private room.
He noticed that most were girls, though of course, there were a few males who seemed to be the boyfriends brought by some of the girls, currently looking at him with wary expressions.
Haruto looked around, silently evaluating them in his heart.
Aside from Kurashiki Reina, the other women here were quite average-looking.
There was one more whose score the system gave as 81, barely reaching the passing line for being added to the harem.
Thinking of this, the corners of Haruto’s mouth curled up slightly as he found a spot to sit down next to Kurashiki Reina.
After all, his purpose in coming here tonight was to build up Kurashiki Reina’s favorability.
However, this move of Haruto’s drew hostile gazes from those few boys.
They felt indignant.
Damned sissy, how dare he sit next to our goddess?
Chikusho!
Although Haruto possesses the ‘Charm’ ability, which can strengthen women’s favorability and works with ‘Handsome’ to achieve a special effect on women, it seems to have the exact opposite effect on men.
For men, it’s simply impossible to admit that another man is more Handsome than themselves.
Thus, the inexplicable hostility that arose seemed reasonable.
However, Haruto clearly didn’t care about them; he calmly took out his phone and bank card, launching a monetary offensive directly at everyone.
“Keiko, I’ll pick up the tab for today’s gathering. Take these ordinary beers away and replace them with the best alcohol here.”
“Mr… Mr. Haruto, the best alcohol here costs 25,000 yen a bottle…” Keiko’s eyes widened as she spoke with a slight stutter.
“Let’s start with 50 bottles. Is that enough to drink?”
Haruto said nonchalantly, as if it were a piece of cake for him.
