From betrotheds to lovers

Hirano Ichiro and Kogane Sakurako are completely different from each other, one is more sociable, the other is more reserved. One has a sweet tongue, the other has not. One is athletic, the other is not. Nothing in them can be said to match with the other, yet be it by fate or chance, they are now engaged to each other, and they get along perfectly well. They aren't in love with each other, but they are both working on that Bootleg cover until I can commission an actual cover from some artist

Chapter 8

(A/N Notes: I'm commissioning a cover for this story, the same artist that I commissioned for the School Prince)

The classroom was completely silent, and the atmosphere was tense. Everyone inside the classroom had concerned faces filled with surprise as they looked at the person who caused such a situation. The person in question was seated near four other guys, two of them with extremely surprised faces

It was Ichiro, of course, that's where we left last time, anyways, Ichiro was sitting down with his usual smile and a very calm atmosphere around him, and then to break the stalemate Ichiro opened his mouth and said...

"So Kyo, did you get yourself a girlfriend?"

"Don't change the topic like that!"

Everyone in the classroom shouted that at the same time, then Haruto grabbed Ichiro by the collar and shouted

"And how could you just abandon our alliance of virgins like that!?"

"Because differently from you and Kenzo, I don't have trouble talking to girls like you two maidenless virgins"

" "Don't say that to us like that!!!" "

Both Haruto and Kenzo slammed the desk as they cried from the fact that Ichiro of all people had managed to get a fiancée. But hope wasn't lost just yet

"That's right! If you really have a fiancée, then show us the proof!"

"Yeah! Show us a photo of your fiancée!"

"... You know that it's against the law to use the photo of someone else without permission, right?"

" "... What?" "

Haruto and Kenzo turned silent at Ichiro's unexpected response, then Kazuo who had been listening to all of that spoke

"He's right, he can't just show the photo of his fiancée, if he really has one, to someone else just like that so... What are you doing?"

As Kazuo was giving his explanation to the two, he noticed Ichiro tapping something in his phone

"Asking my cute fiancée if I can show you guys a photo of her. Oh yeah, did I say that my fiancée is really cute?"

"Yes, you did"

Haruto answered Ichiro's question with an annoyed tone

"I did? Oh well, she's a really cute and interesting girl, that you two maidenless virgins will never get"

" "Don't use her to roast us like that!!!" "

Meanwhile

-

*Notification ring*

"!"

Sakurako heard her phone ring, signaling that she had received a message from someone, so she picked up her phone to look who messaged her. Seeing that Himari tried to joke with Sakurako a little

"Who is it? Your fiancée?... Just ki-"

"Yeah, it is him"

"It is!? W-what did he say?"

"He said if he can show a photo of me to his friends"

"Hmmm... That doesn't sound really safe, but at least he has the decency to ask for your permission first"

"He sent another message"

"What is it?"

"A photo of him and his friends, and saying that I can it to my friends"

Sakurako then turned the screen of the phone to Himari and Kohaku who looked at the photo

" "..." "

They both stayed silent as they looked at the photo, that had Ichiro, Haruto, Kazuo, Kenzo, and Kyo in it

"Sacchan, your fiancé is the one holding the camera, right?"

"Yes"

"Wow... I didn't expect him to know the heirs of the Okamura and Inaba families and Hasegawa-san's second son as well"

"Yeah... I didn't expect him to know Kazuo *Coff coff*"

"And he's quite good looking as well, though he also looks a tad bit villainous"

Both Himari and Kohaku thought that Ichiro was quite suitable for Sakurako, as far as his looks went. Sakurako then turned her phone screen back to herself and sent a message to Ichiro

-

Back to Ichiro

-

Ichiro who was waiting for Sakurako's response received and saw her message that said

//Yes, you can show a photo of me to your friends//

//Then can I ask for you to take a selfie?//

//Okay//

"..."

Then after a very short while, Ichiro received a photo from Sakurako, but instead of just being her, she was accompanied by two other girls, one girl with blonde messy hair who was holding the camera, and another girl with white hair and pretty big assets

"My fiancée sent me a photo of her and her friends, do ya'll wanna see it?"

" " " "Yes" " " "

Haruto, Kenzo, Kazuo, and Kyo, all agreed to see the photo, so with that Ichiro put his phone on the desk so that they could all see it

" " "!!!" " "

"!?"

The four made surprised faces at seeing the girls in the photo, but Kazuo's face was more of a concerned surprise

"Your fiancée is this one?"

Haruto asked as he pointed at Himari

"Nope, it's this girl in the middle"

Ichiro pointed at Sakurako before he said...

"And as you can see, she's my very cute fiancée, that I'm always going to brag about... By the way, Kazuo"

"Huh!? W-what is it, Ichiro?"

"You have been looking quite concerned ever since I showed this photo"

"W-what are you possibly talking about?"

Kazuo was sweating bricks since he knew how good Ichiro was at seeing through people, and that he wouldn't stop until he felt sufficiently amused

"Don't you know one of the girls very well?"

Ichiro passed one of his arms behind Kazuo's head and grabbed his shoulders while making a very amused and evil grin

"N-no..."

"Heeeeh... Is that so?"

"Yes"

"I see..."

Hearing that from Kazuo, Ichiro let go of his shoulder and instead turned his head towards Haruto

"Hey, Haruto. Of these girls, who would you like to out with the most"

"If I had to say... The white-haired girl, she got the looks and some impressive badonkers. Yeah, I would like to have her as my girlfriend"

"You'll only get Kohaku over my dead body!"

And at hearing what Haruto, Kazuo's overprotectiveness came out, and because of that everyone looked at him with surprise, with the exception of Ichiro who was making a very amused grin

"Ah..."

Ichiro then grabbed Kazuo's shoulders again and said very amusedly

"How about you start telling us about your relationship with your fiancée, Kazuo?"

Ichiro then showed Kazuo a very friendly smile with his eyes closed, but for Kazuo, that smile felt very intimidating

"Yeah, Kazuo. Let's talk about your girl"

"I agree with Ichiro, how about you tell us about your relationship with her"

Haruto and Kenzo also joined Ichiro in asking Kazuo about Kohaku, as they both bit their lower lips in frustration at the fact that Kazuo had a strikingly beautiful girl as his fiancée. As for Kyo...

"..." <Let's never talk about Inoue near Ichiro or the others, and to avoid getting Ichiro to find any clues that she's my girlfriend>

He promised such to himself deep in his heart

(A/N Notes: Ichiro is amusing... Amusingly evil)
