(Author's Note: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome... to Haneoka Girls High School Harem Arc! Looks like we managed to make it this far. For those who read all of the chapters of this book until here, congratulations.
Without further ado, let's begin the next arc!)
Third Person's POV
It's been a while since I've been taken by 14, that's right. You heard it, 14 girlfriends. They're from the same school as I do. Each of them was in their own band.
Starting from Poppin'Party which is Kasumi, Tae, Rimi, Saaya and Arisa, Pastel*Palettes which is Aya, Chisato and Eve, Hello Happy World which is Kokoro, Hagumi, Kanon and Misaki and lastly, Roselia which is Sayo and Rinko.
But, what matters is that I love all of them equally. If there's some argument of what happened between them, I'll try to break it.
Right now, the student at the school was quite busy decorating here and there. That's right, the school festival is getting near and I can already feel the excitement flowing inside of me. Trying out foods at a cafe, visiting haunted house which is Rimi's most favorite things, going to a stage play and band performance at the school hall and many more.
The teachers allowed us to plan for some things such as planning on what activities does each class should do, and I have to get involved too. But, I'm fine with it because I can gain some experience.
It's lunch break and me along with Poppin'Party were at the school's park having some nice lunch. Suddenly, Hello, Happy World! went to join us with Kokoro doing some crazy stunts.
Kokoro: (Y/N)! Kasumi!
(Y/N): Hey, Kokoro.
Kokoro: Discussing about school festival?
(Y/N): Well, yes.
She let out a grunt noise like an engine car.
Kokoro: School festival is so exciting! Everyone! Let's do our best and have fun!
Misaki: Ahaha, calm down, Kokoro.
Said Misaki who just show up behind Kokoro.
(Y/N): I wanted to try out so many things before my school life ends.
Kasumi: Me too! I want to create the greatest memories at this school with my friends!
She whispered at my ear.
Kasumi: And you, (Y/N)-kun.
(Y/N): Ahaha, yeah. Sure thing.
Rimi: What will your class do, (Y/N)?
(Y/N): Let's see... my class decided to do some animal-themed cafe.
Tae: That sounds amazing!
Kokoro: Can we come and visit later?
(Y/N): For my girlfriends, I don't mind.
Misaki: I also want to join you, but I'll be busy later.
(Y/N): I understand that, Misaki.
Chisato: Then, that leaves me to date you.
Chisato said, appearing beside (Y/N) without everyone knowing.
Kasumi: Chisato-senpai!
Chisato: Hello, guys.
(Y/N): H-Hey, Chi-chan.
Chisato: Hey, (Y/N)-kun~ Can I ask you something?~
She said as she lay down her head on (Y/N)'s shoulder. This makes the other girls slightly irritated.
(Y/N): Wh-What is it?
She said and sit beside (Y/N).
Chisato: How about we go out for a date later on?
Kasumi: Eh? But I want to date (Y/N)-kun too!
(Y/N): A-Ah... I got it. I'll take all of you to wander around the festival, okay? Unless if you're busy or anything like that, then I understand.
Rimi: I'm sorry, but I couldn't. I'll be involved in handling a haunted house later.
(Y/N): That sounds nice.
Saaya: I'll be busy with cafe at our class since my bakery will be involved to give pastry supplies.
(Y/N): Understandable.
Tae: Well, I guess that also leaves me and Kasumi.
Kasumi: Eeeeh? What about Arisa?
(Y/N): She's busy with council's work, remember?
Kasumi: I see...
She said in disappointment.
Chisato: Fufu~ If so, then I understand. How about we go after you finished your shift at your class?~
(Y/N): Sounds good to me.
Kasumi: I want to visit your class!
Tae: Same!
(Y/N): Alright, alright.
All of us proceed to eat our lunch together while chatting.
Third Person's POV
Meanwhile... at the same time...
The scene cut to the school gate where a bunch of students are gathering together. Both of Sayo and Rinko head there and asked them.
Sayo: Hey! What's going on here?
???: Ah! Onee-chan!
A more high-pitched female voice can be heard as it reveals a high school girl with a grey colored school uniform greeting Sayo.
Sayo: Hina?!
Rinko: Hina-san?
Hina: Good morning!
Sayo: Why did you come to Hanasakigawa?!
Hina: I want to discuss something important to you.
Rinko: What would that be?
Hina: Let's discuss about it at the council's room, okay?
Then, the three of them went to the student council's room as they begin their discussion.
Hina: Well, I got a good idea for upcoming school festival.
Sayo: And what would that be?
There was a moment of silence from Hina as she smiled before stating her ideas.
Hina: How about both of Hanasakigawa and Haneoka have a collab?
Rinko and Sayo was quite surprised hearing the idea coming from Hina.
Rinko: A collab...
Sayo: ... between Hanasakigawa and Haneoka?
Hina: That's right!
Sayo: Rejected.
Sayo said coldly to Hina.
Hina: Eeeeh? Why is that?
Sayo: Don't just give some stupid idea out of nowhere.
Hina: But, this is a really good one!
Sayo: Also, don't come to visit Hanasakigawa during school time.
Rinko: I-I think it's fine, though.
Hina: Really?!
Hina said happily to Rinko's response.
Sayo: Shirokane-san, what are you-
Rinko: Hikawa-san, trust me on this, please.
Rinko gave her the look to convince Sayo to accept Hina's idea as well. She let out a sigh and said...
Sayo: Fine. Hope this will be a good idea.
Hina: Alright! With the discussion ends with an agreement, I think it's time for me to head back! See you later, Onee-chan, Rinko-chan!
Once Hina go back to Haneoka, the three of them talked about Hina's idea. Sayo was staring outside of the window, looking at the random things while hugging herself.
Sayo: I can't believe that we had to agree with my little sister's idea.
Arisa: To think that having Hanasakigawa and Haneoka to do a school festival together...
Rinko: Y-Yeah, but...
Sayo: What's wrong, Shirokane-san?
Rinko: I think it's a good idea. I don't mind if we were to collaborate with Haneoka. Besides, it'll help to strengthen the bond of the students and teachers.
Sayo: So, that's why you agreed with Hina's idea.
Arisa: Yeah, I support you.
Rinko: Thank you, Ichigaya-san.
She smiled at Arisa and begin monologuing about you.
Rinko: Don't worry, (Y/N). Once school festival is over, I'll bring you to my house and we'll have some fun time together... alone~
Timeskip brought to you by Chibi (Y/N) drinking some coffee while eating some pastry.
School Festival Day #1
The day that most students look forward to... is here. Everyone went to gather at the school hall for the teacher to give their speech of appreciation and officially launched the school festival.
(Y/N): Dang, I'd never thought that this year's school festival will have a collaboration with another school.
I went to my classroom as I begin working on my shift. It's not that long, just like an hour. I wore my costume and begin serving the customers.
(Y/N): Welcome! What would you like to order?
Kasumi: (Y/N)-kun!
Mt first customer is indeed my girlfriends, Kasumi and Tae.
Tae: You look... cute wearing the bunny headband.
(Y/N): Thanks. Anyway, what do you want to order?
Kasumi: Let's see... I'll have... the bunny-shaped curry rice!
Tae: Me too!
(Y/N): Alright. A plate of bunny-shaped curry, coming right up!
Once I took their order, I went to the cooking section and told the chef to start cooking. After a few minutes, I came back to the table and serve my girlfriends.
(Y/N): Here you go! Fresh from the kitchen!
Their eyes sparkles seeing the animal-themed food.
Kasumi: Woah! Looks delicious! Let's eat!
They took a bite from the food and... their reaction is priceless.
Kasumi: Mmm!~ It's delicious!~
As they continue biting, Kasumi said something that I'd never expect.
Kasumi: This is why you should be a husband material!
(Y/N): K-Kasumi... no need to say that aloud. Besides, I'm not the one who cooked this. I'm just serving you.
Tae: But, she's right. I love how the bunny looks like.
(Y/N): Sure, sure. Enjoy your food. I need to go serve the other customers.
Kasumi: You'd better not flirt with them~
Tae: Or else you know what will happen to you~
(Y/N): Y-Yeah, of course.
They gave me a warning and I was scared of it. I continued taking orders from recent customers here and there. After a while working, my classmate is finally about to replace me.
Classmate: Hey (Y/N), your shift is over. Let me replace you next.
(Y/N): Oh, alright. Thank you.
Classmate: Don't mention it. You did a good job.
I smiled at him as I took off my apron and hung it at the table. I head out of the class and begin to explore the festival.
I decided to bring someone with me, but I don't know who is free at the moment. Both of Kasumi and Tae already leave because they need to get prepared for their band live tomorrow.
Chisato: Looking for me, (Y/N)?
I heard Chisato calling me from behind as she smiled at me.
(Y/N): Chi-chan...
Chisato: Fufu~ I like it when you called me by that nickname. Anyway... have you finished your shift today?
(Y/N): Yeah, I'm planning to visit the school not too far away from us.
Chisato: Oh, you mean Haneoka Girls High School?
(Y/N): I think that's it.
Chisato: Then, let's go together.
She said and hugged my arm. This make my face as red as a tomato.
(Y/N): S-Sure thing.
Both of me and Chisato proceed to go to Haneoka Girls High School by foot. Once we get there, we also saw the other Hanasakigawa students at there.
We entered the school's ground and I got to say that it's really wide.
Chisato: Looks like the school is celebrating it as well.
(Y/N): Yeah, I know. It's both of the school council agreement to this.
Chisato: Fufu~ Good to hear that.
We head into the school's hallway and the decorations are as lively as at Hanasakigawa.
We entered one of the classroom to try out some cafe and got greeted by a gyaru girl in a cat maid outfit.
Lisa: Welcome, Master. Would you like a seat?~
The gyaru girl said seductively to me. There's also her friends who were quite shy to serve the customers. She has a long silver hair and golden eyes.
(Y/N): Wait... I know you.
Lisa: Eh? What are you talking about, Master? Most people in Haneoka knows me~
Chisato was disgusted by the gyaru girl calling me "Master". Then, she gazed at the long silver-haired girl and called her name.
Lisa: Yukina! Come and greet the customer here. Don't by shy.
Yukina: B-But, it's embarrassing.
The girl named Yukina then faced forward as she showed herself in a cat maid outfit. Then, my mind snapped to the live performance at CiRCLE and they're the exact same girls from Roselia.
(Y/N): Wait a minute. If I'm not mistaken, both of you are from Roselia, right?
Yukina: Yes, we are. It's been a while... (Y/N)-san.
(Y/N): Yeah, it is.
Lisa: Fufu~ Looks like you still know us.
Chisato: Ahem. Are we here to chat or try out the menu available here?
She was mildly irritated by me, so I picked up some random things to eat.
(Y/N): I-I would like to order a fettuccini alfredo, please.
Chisato: I'll have the same as him.
Lisa: Okay! Be right back.
While waiting, Chisato leaned her head against my shoulder and flirt with me a little.
Chisato: (Y/N), what do you think of Chi-chan?~
(Y/N): Umm... you're quite pretty, a hardworking person and also flirty to me as well.
Chisato: Aww~ Thank you.
Yukina: Ahem. Sorry for interrupting, but this is school. So, stop dating and pretend like this is a 5-star restaurant.
(Y/N): Right, sorry.
I can already tell that Chisato was angry of getting reprimanded by Yukina.
(Y/N): Cool down, Chi-chan.
Our order is here as Lisa brought two plates of pasta and put it on our table.
Lisa: Here! Two plates of fettuccini alfredo!~ Enjoy your food!~
She winked at me and walked away right after.
Chisato: Lisa... you...!
I kissed Chisato at the cheek as her anger dropped immediately.
(Y/N): Hey, just ignore her, okay? I'm still here beside you.
Chisato: Hmph, fine. Let's eat.
She begin digging into the food and so do I. To make her less upset, I feed her some of my food and she liked it.
Third Person's POV
After the visit at the cat cafe, you continue exploring the school as you entered another classroom and it was a room that makes you explore through the space.
(Y/N): Wow. It is beautiful.
Chisato didn't say anything and she seems bored.
There's 5 girls in there with a different school uniform laying down on the floor.
???: What do you think, Ran? Is it beautiful?
Ran: Y-Yeah, it is.
She said while looking at the stars glimmering at the ceiling.
???: Moca-chan, don't fall asleep!
Moca: Zzz...
I don't know who are they, but the black-haired girl is quite familiar with the girl I saw on internet. I quit the room and proceed to explore other places with Chisato.
Third Person's POV
Back to the cat cafe at Class 3-A, Yukina was thinking about you and Lisa noticed that she was concerned of something. But, Lisa just kept herself silent and continue serving the customers.
Yukina: That (Y/N) boy... he seems to catch my interest, but why?
Yukina shrugged it off as she went to continue serving the customers.
For the other girls, they're busy dpong their own part. Aya and Kanon went to have a rehearsal for their band performance for school festival later.
Random Student: This way, please!
In the haunted house, Rimi does some jumpscare to the visitors.
Rimi: Bwaaah!
This cause some of the students, especially female, to yell out a quick high-pitched scream. But then, Rimi giggled as they also laughed along with her.
For Saaya, she was busy sending some pastry delivered from her bakery to the class cafe.
Kokoro was doing some magic tricks because of how skilled she is.
And lastly, Misaki was entertaining the visitors at the school with Michelle.
(Y/N)'s POV
We came back to Hanasakigawa and head to the school hall because I heard that there's a stage play. Not going to lie, I was anticipating for those.
Turns out that they're doing Shakespeare play, but this time it's Kaoru-san who's playing the main role. When she appears on the stage, the fangirls cheered for her and even yelled her name.
Fangirls: Kaoru-sama!
All of them yelled in unison as they cheered for her. But, Chisato seems to not be enjoying the stage play.
(Y/N): What's wrong, Chisato? You seems annoyed.
Chisato: Oh, nothing. Let's go for now.
For the rest of the day, me and Chisato decided to check out the other available booths at the school's ground. I also did saw Rinko talking to a purple-haired girl who's shorter than her.
She then leave Rinko standing there and head to who knows where. I think I've seen her before from the live house. I went to greet Rinko and both of them noticed us.
(Y/N): Hey, Rinko!
Rinko: (Y/N)... Shirasagi-san...
(Y/N): Still patrolling the school?
Rinko: Yeah, and I want to get myself prepared for tomorrow's school festival speech closing event.
(Y/N): Alright then. Good luck, Rinko.
I smiled at her and she blushed.
Rinko: Before that, can I spend some time with you before the school festival ends?
(Y/N): I would love to. What do you say, Chisato?
Chisato: I'm fine with it though.
(Y/N): By the way, where's Sayo?
Sayo: Ahem.
We gazed at the voice and it was Sayo who were behind me.
Sayo: What about me?
(Y/N): Hey, Sayo.
Sayo: Did you have a good date with Shirasagi-san?
She said and there's a hint of her upset.
(Y/N): Well... let's just say that I did.
Chisato: Even though there's Lisa who flirted with (Y/N), he managed to calm me down.
Sayo: Imai-san... why did you do that?
(Y/N): A-Ah, it's fine. I still love you girls. I won't fall for any unknown girls' charm so easily.
Sayo: You better keep your words.
Rinko: We have to go now. See you later, (Y/N).
Sayo: We'll be sure to date you tomorrow before our live show at school hall.
(Y/N): I'm looking forward to that.
I kissed both of Rinko and Sayo at the cheek as they left us here.
Timeskip brought to you by Chibi (Y/N) walking home with Chibi Yandere Girlfriends.
Night Time...
Finally, it's night time and everyone else went to go back home for the day. I got to say that I had a lot of fun.
Kasumi: (Y/N)-kun!
Kasumi went to jump on me and give me a hug. There's also the other members of Poppin'Party, Pastel*Palettes, Roselia and Hello, Happy World! as well.
(Y/N): Hey, Kasumi. Do you girls have fun for today?
Kasumi: Yeah!
Rimi: Ahh~ I had a lot of fun today.
(Y/N): Glad to hear you're enjoying because me too.
Eve: I'm heading home now. See you tomorrow, everyone!
Misaki: Me too.
Hagumi: We'll be sure to have more fun tomorrow!
Kanon: Fufu~ Of course.
Saaya: I'll leave some of the pastries for you guys, okay?
Arisa: I really want to date with you today, but I was too busy. Oh well... it's inevitable.
(Y/N): Don't worry, Arisa. I'll be sure to date you later, okay?
Arisa: I-It's not like I want to date you or anything, hmph.
Typical tsundere Arisa. That's what I love about her.
All of them kissed me before they left to go back home. That leaves me with only Aya and Chisato who were left behind.
(Y/N): So... wanna go home together?
Aya: I don't mind though.
Suddenly, Aya and Rinko hugged both of my arms as Chisato wasn't expecting this.
Chisato: Aya-chan... Rinko-chan...
Aya: Chisato-chan, you already got your chance. Let us have ours.
Rinko: You're right, Maruyama-san.
Chisato just pouted and looked away from her.
All of us decided to go back home for the day and get ready for tomorrow. I'm not going to lie, I'm looking forward for the band performance later.
(To be continued...)
(Author's Note: Ahh, finally. The first chapter of Haneoka Arc is finished for now. Looks like there's already some girls that are eyeing on you.)
