276 I have a girlfriend

"Shikimori-san?" 

Mizuto was surprised, and he couldn't help but think about the scene when he slept with her mother at the school and the hotel yesterday. Moreover, when he thought about how her mother told him to date her, he was just too speechless to say anything. 

So, when Shikimori Miyako appeared, Mizuto had to admit that he was slightly shaken since his steel-like heart had almost melted due to the temptation that came from oyakodon. The thought of having a daughter and a mother in his arms at the same time was... just too alluring. 

"Sorry to bother you, Irido-kun," Miyako knew that Mizuto seemed busy, but she just couldn't help it. 

"Is there something that you need me for?" Mizuto asked calmly, feeling the gazes of many on him. He was helpless, but what could he do? This was the fate of a popular guy. Being surrounded by many beautiful women, except for just accepting it. Nevertheless, he put down his reed and cutter first, as it was dangerous. 

"Can we... talk outside?" 

"Can you talk here?" Yume suddenly said. 

Mizuto glanced at Yume, who looked at him after she said those words. He felt that this girl was a bit naughty somehow. 

"Yume..." 

Yume pouted, then looked away, clearly sulking. 

Mizuto shook his head before he glanced at the entrance of the door of their classroom and saw a familiar young man who had always been by Miyako's side. "Are you sure?" 

Miyako, who saw that Yume was being tamed by Mizuto, smiled, thinking that she could talk with him alone, but his question made her doubt. "Is there a problem?" 

"There is no problem, but someone who likes you might get into a misunderstanding, you know?" 

Mizuto knew that Miyako was single since she had told him before, but similar to him, he knew that Miyako was popular, and she had a lot of people who had a crush on her. Still, one of them was particularly intense since they had always followed them.

"Um, Shikimori-san." 

Suddenly, the boy, who had been following Miyako, came and tried to interrupt their conversation. 

Mizuto didn't care about this boy, but he has wanted to avoid this boy since—

"Watch out!" 

*Crash!*

The window of their class was suddenly broken, and something was moving in their direction at a fast speed. 

When everyone was in a daze due to the sudden incident, Mizuto caught something in his hand and quickly noticed that it was the ball of the baseball. His lips twitched, and he thought about the incident that caused him to have a bleeding head. 

'Again.' 

"...." 

Yet, the class was once again in silence since Mizuto was able to protect this boy who was about to be hit by the ball. 

Mizuto looked at the boy and didn't want to get involved with this guy since he could tell that this guy was so unlucky. 

"You okay?" 

"Ah, um..." The boy blushed and lowered his head when Mizuto asked him.

Whether it was because he was scared, nervous, or something else, Mizuto didn't care. "Give me your hands." 

"Eh?" 

The boy subconsciously gave his hands to Mizuto, and Mizuto gave him the ball. 

"Take care of the aftermath yourselves. You are a guy, right?" 

"T-Thank you..." 

Still, after that, the boy didn't do anything and just stood in a place since it seemed this kind of incident was something that always happened to him every day. 

Whether it was Yume, Akatsuki, Reina, or others had a strange expression on their faces. 

This... what was wrong with this guy?

Only Miyako showed a helpless expression, but due to how kind-hearted she was, it was hard for her to say something to this boy. 

"Oi, don't play ball there! What if you hurt someone!?" 

Mizuto ignored the boy and scolded the person who threw the ball from the classroom. 

"I-I am sorry!" 

Watching Mizuto, who left, Miyako then noticed the boy who had been following him also kept staring at her, which made her a little uneasy. 

"Don't be kind-hearted. You should tell the truth," Yume suddenly said. 

"Ah, um..." Miyako looked at Yume in surprise since she could tell that Yume didn't like her. 

However, even so, Yume was kind, and she could tell that Miyako and this boy had a huge problem.

Miyako and Yume looked at each other for a while, then Miyako took a deep breath and then looked at the boy. "Izumi-san." 

"Ye-Yes!" Izumi Yuu was startled when Miyako called his name, but he had to say it. It gave him a skip, and he looked at her with a blush. 

"I am sorry, but... can you not follow me again?" Miyako said while bowing her head politely. 

"....." 

"Eh?" Izumi was in a daze and stared at Miyako stupidly, clearly not understanding her meaning. 

"I am sorry if I misunderstood you, but... I want time to be alone. Please don't follow me all the time." 

At this moment, no one said anything, and all of them watched this show with interest. 

Mizuto was also speechless, but he had to say it was kind of fun since it had been a while since he always had become the center of attention, so when others became the center of attention, it was a kind of new experience for him. 

Still, Izumi, who had recovered, was surprised and became confused. "But-But why? Did I do something wrong? Please tell me what was wrong with me! I will do my best. I will change it for you!" 

"You didn't do anything wrong, but I just like someone," Miyako said straight away. 

"Eh?!" Izumi was startled and asked in a hurry. "Wh-Who did you like?" 

Miyako didn't answer that question and glanced at Mizuto's direction. She thought that it was the time and she was going to do it! 

'Eh....?! Don't tell me...?' Everyone. 

It was like an instinct, something that was born when they had become a woman. The moment they saw Miyako's face, all the girls realized what Miyako was planning to do. 

'This bitch!' 

Yume wanted to cry since she didn't expect that her words would lead to this situation, yet it was impossible to stop! 

Miyako approached Mizuto and looked at him softly. "I-Irido-kun!" 

"....." 

Mizuto's lips twitched, then glanced at Yume, who showed a troubled and regretful expression. Only Reina and Akatsuki seemed to be interested in this scene. 

'Are you really my girlfriends?' 

Watching the smiling Reina and Akatsuki, Mizuto wondered whether the two loved to see their man with another woman. 

Did they develop a cuckold fetish?

Mizuto was helpless. 

"I like you! Please go out with me!" 

Miyako confessed her love to Mizuto inside his classroom, causing everyone to be in a daze. 

"N-No way..." Izumi looked at this scene forlornly and recalled how they had met each other from the beginning of school till now. Yet, the one who stood by her side wasn't him but someone else. While he was crying, thinking that the one that he loved would disappear, Mizuto broke the silence. 

"Thank you, Shikimori-san. I know that it must be hard to confess your feelings like that. I am happy to hear how you feel, and I appreciate your confession." 

At this moment, everyone was nervous, especially when they saw how cute Miyako was and they were afraid for Mizuto to accept this confession. 

"Re-Really?" Miyako looked at Mizuto with a smile, thinking of the happy ending that was about to start between them, but—

"But I am sorry. I can't accept your feelings." Mizuto bowed his head and apologized. 

"..." 

"Fuh..." 

A group of people suddenly sighed in relief when they heard Mizuto's answer. 

Miyako was in silence, and her eyes were wet, but she asked, "Ca-Can I know the reason?" 

"I have a girlfriend." 

"....." Everyone.
