After Saving a Beautiful Girl Who Is the Target of a Handsome Guy With a Dangerous Secret Face, I Found Myself Destroying His Entire Harem and Playing with All of the Beautiful Girls
A few days have passed since then.
“You know, my mom mixed up the salt and soy sauce.~”
“Haha! It’s a common mistake. …… wait salt and soy sauce!?They are too different in shape though!?”
“The other day she mistook sugar and mirin~”
“That’s no longer the level of mistake. ……”
Hananoi and Sena laugh as they listen to Hazuki’s story.
The five of us get together in the morning near my house and go to school together.
It’s the same scene as usual.
It’s been a normal day, just the location of my house has changed.
…Except for me, though.
“Kujo-kun makes mistakes like that too, right?”
“Eh, Yeah”
“”You do!?””
Hananoi and Sena asked back with enthusiasm.
“Umm……, what were we talking about?”
“I’m talking about mistaking salt for soy sauce! Salt and sugar are similar, and I can understand that, but soy sauce and salt are not the same thing!”
“Who would mistake …… for something else?”
“There is.”
“Heheheh~ I wonder if I am unexpectedly careless~”
“”That’s not unexpected!!!””
Hazuki is totally embarrassed.
As usual, Hazuki was smiling a flustered smile.
The same everyday life, nothing has changed.
But still …… I remember.
The burning house, the store.
Saddened Kozue’s face and tearful Hitomi san.
And – Sudo’s expression with a smirk.
It’s all because of him. ……
I can’t forgive him. No, I can’t permit it.
I have to do it with my own hands.
“Kujo? What’s wrong?”
Sena looked into my face worriedly.
“Nothing.”
Sena stopped when I said that.
I was so worried that she looked at me with a serious expression on her face.
“…If Kujo says so, I won’t go into too much detail, but if you need anything, you can always ask me, okay? I know there’s a lot going on with things like the house and the store.”
“Sena ……”
“We’ve been helped a lot by Ryosuke kun. So say anything! If there’s anything we can do, we’ll do it! I-I would really do anything…! ! ! ”
“Hananoi……”
“I don’t think there’s much I can do~ But I think I can help Kujo-kun a little bit. It might just make him feel better, but I still think it’s important.”
“…. Hazuki.”
The three of them say kind words to me.
I see.
The three of them know about my situation, so they’ve been acting out their usual routine out of concern for me.
But the true feelings are here and they really want to help me.
There’s no way there’s a lie in their eyes.
When did I become surrounded by such good people?
That makes me happy and …… scared at the same time.
They are all definitely targeted by Sudo.
Something like that time could happen.
I knew …… I had to do something about it sooner than later.
I still don’t know where Sudo is, but I need to smash him as soon as possible.
What I’m trying to do is to make it so that Sudo’s “life” is over, so that he will never try anything again.
“Thank you, guys. I’ll be counting on you when the time comes.”
With that, I begin to walk away.
I should do this on my own.
I don’t have time to depend on anyone else.
I’ll be fine.
I’ve been alone my whole life.
Besides, I should do this alone.
From start to finish, this is between me and Sudo.

*Ichinose Shizuku’s point of view
Ryosuke walks away.
From the side, he looks the same as usual.
Nothing has changed.
He is still the same as usual. ……, but that’s strange.
Because, with his house and store being burned down, there is no way he can be normal.
Ryosuke is pushing himself too hard.
He is worried about us, and he is carrying his worries around.
“Ryosuke, is he okay? ……
“I’m worried about him. ……”
“We have to support Kujo-kun from the shadows so that nothing gets in the way of his work~”
The other three seem to have sensed this.
….. but is this the time to be so leisurely?
I’m sure Ryosuke has a lot of emotions locked up in his heart.
My instincts are telling me that Ryosuke’s mental state is dangerous.
No matter how strong Ryosuke is, he is still a high school student like us.
That fact is absolutely unshakeable.
If I don’t do something, Ryosuke will be in danger.
“……….”
I will act based on my beliefs.
The other three are not wrong, and I am sure they are right.
But out of all the correct answers, I choose one.
What should I do to the person I love?
♦ ♦ ♦
Lunch break.
I walk down the hallway alone, thinking about where I should check out after school today.
I’m sorry to the other four, but I was allowed to be alone.
I want to be alone now.
Otherwise, I might hurt them.
“Sudo……”
The feeling of hatred burning inside of me.
It’s me. I’ll do it, I’ll do it. ……
“?!?!”
The body is pulled.
And in the blink of an eye, I was taken into an empty classroom and the door slammed shut with a bang.
The curtains were closed and it was dimly lit inside the classroom.
“What is this? ……”
I tried to sit up, but someone was on top of me and I couldn’t move.
I knew who it was by the sound of her voice before I could even confirm who it was.
“—Ryosuke.”
“I-Ichinose?”
Ichinose’s face was in the shadows and I couldn’t see it.
But even so, I knew she was not playing her usual joke.
Ichinose looked at me and said emphatically
“Tell me everything. All of it to me.”
