I am that male friend in the harem story

"G-Girlfriend?!"

Eri was startled and quickly focused her gaze on Irisu. Beautiful and young, she thought, and more importantly, Irisu's skin was so smooth!

While she wasn't bad at all, she knew well that as she aged, her skin lacked the suppleness it had when she was young, especially when she worked quite late, and she had to put on her make-up, or else, she really couldn't appear as beautiful as she did now.

Still, why did Satoshi bring his girlfriend? Also, wasn't he just a high school student?

With her rich imagination as a manga editor, a conclusion came to her mind despite her feeling a bit jealous.

"...did you bring her for an elope?"

"..." Satoshi and Irisu.

"No, she was just afraid that I might move to Tokyo after I became a mangaka."

While Irisu pouted at Satoshi's words, she didn't let go of his hand, and frankly, her mind was still occupied by how he told Eri that she was his girlfriend!

Yes, they might not be a girlfriend and a boyfriend, and he also had a girlfriend, but as he told her that she was his girlfriend boldly, she was happy inwardly, and while she tried to hide it well with her usual calm and stoic expression, her lips grinned.

Her happiness didn't last long, especially when she heard Eri's words.

"But, have you ever thought of Tokyo? No, you should move to Tokyo, Fukube-kun. In Tokyo, I am sure that your career will be better! If you wish to, the company can arrange everything, whether it is your place to live, a school, or even a caretaker to take care of you daily!"

Eri felt as if Satoshi stayed at Takayama, it would just bury his talent!

Whether it was her, a head editor, and everyone agreed that Satoshi was talented, one in a million, he was a different breed, and as long as he lived, it wouldn't be strange to think that his manga would be sold for billions of copies!

It was strange for one to have such confidence, yet for him, who was so young, could draw such an awesome manga and appeared so mature despite his success at a young age, how could she not be tempted?!

No, she just wished him to be better by moving to Tokyo!

Also, this guy is just so freaking handsome!

Still, Satoshi's answer was the same. "I don't plan to move. I want to live in Takayama. As for the manga, I can scan it and send it to you by email, right? Now, how about we discuss the manga first?" He wanted to end this conversation right away as he was quite exhausted from his trip.

"....."

Eri was speechless, but she didn't give up since, with the success of Satoshi, without a doubt, her career would also be at a high!

After all, the success of the editor was tied to the success of the writers that they took care of.

Still, their time together would be long, and she wouldn't give up!

Yet, if Satoshi knew what Eri thought of him, he would only roll his eyes. Still, instead of being a mangaka at this company, he might as well buy this company!

After all, with his ability, it was possible for him to become the richest, especially when many works in this world were different from the world of Kaguya, so he could use all of them, creating the largest media company from the game, manga, music, movie, books, social media, and many others.

If he had made an example, he would have made this world Tencent!

Still, his ambition aside, he had to finish his first contract to publish his manga.

Sitting while facing each other, Satoshi talked with Eri about the contract and the development of the manga. The contract was quite simple: he would receive 15,000 yen for each page that he drew, and he would gain double when he drew a color page. On the royalty for the book, he would receive 12% of the total sales of the book, and when the sales had reached 100,000 copies, his royalty would become 20%, and naturally, it would continue to increase based on his total sales.

Frankly, this was a generous contract, but then again, the company probably wanted to tie him down and continue to work here since it was hard to get a good mangaka and the economic situation was at its lowest, so he also understood why they did this, especially when they asked him to show his face too.

"...."

Well, he didn't mind, thought.

Anyway, everything was for money, he thought.

Still, as he was a mangaka instead of an actor, what he had to do was to create the best story, so even if he was so handsome, it wasn't the priority.

Nevertheless, when he talks with Eri, Irisu looks at the scenery outside the building. Tokyo at night. While she had seen it in the past, when she saw it again, it felt magical somehow, since despite how dark it was, she could see how bustling this city was, as if it would never fall asleep.

'This is a city with the largest population in the world,' she thought.

Unlike Takayama, which had completely darkened at this time, Tokyo was still vibrant, but then again, was it the best place to stay?

Yet, this was probably the place where Satoshi could fly freely without worrying about anything.

'Meanwhile, I...'

In her case, Irisu knew that like Chitanda and Kaho, she would stay at Takayama forever.

"Sorry to make you wait."

"Ah, oh." Irisu was startled, then asked, "Have you finished?"

"Yup."

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

"It doesn't take much time."

"It was." Satoshi looked at the scenery outside from the tall building and said, "Probably, you are just too focused on watching the view from this place."

"That might be." Irisu nodded, then asked, "So... what are we going to do now?"

"Have you booked a hotel?" Satoshi asked.

"..." Irisu.

"Then, stay at my hotel."

"...is that okay?"

Her face reddened, shy, yet a certain expectation was born in her heart.

They had kissed for so long, and while he was never in a hurry, she had always dreamed of how it would feel to have his large object inside her as she played with her own fingers.

Still, she knew well that his size was immense, so the feeling must be different, she thought.

'Also...'

She was sure that this guy had done that with Kaho, and with how vibrant and loving Kaho always appeared by his side, she was sure that this guy's skill must be good.

"Yes, but don't do anything strange, okay? Don't be a pervert."

"You are the one who is a pervert!"

As she saw him laugh, Irisu sighed helplessly, yet she wondered why she loved him so much.

Holding his hand tightly, she thought that she didn't want to let him go.

Sorry, I fell asleep.
