I, Who Was Reincarnated as an Evil Character With Cheat-Level Stats in an Eroge, Will Live Freely in This Life
“Whoa… I slept in a bit too long…”
When I woke up in the morning and checked the clock, it was already nearly noon.
“Kana… is she up already?”
Kana, who should have been sleeping in the same bed, was already gone. Not only that, but she’d tidied up quite a bit.
Like the sheets she changed before bed and the empty plastic bottles.
Kana must have done it, but since it was her first time, I tried not to push her too hard. I wonder if it was okay?
Thinking about that, I got out of bed, stood up, put on a shirt, and stepped out into the hallway.
――When I went down the stairs to the living room, Kana was there.
“Ah! Good morning, Seito-senpai!!!”
“Good morning, Kana. You’re up early.”
“Ehehe, I wanted to make breakfast for Seito-senpai, so I woke up early!!!”
Kana said this cheerfully.
It was good she didn’t seem embarrassed or awkward.
“Breakfast?”
“Yes! I’m making it now, so please wait, Seito-senpai!! Oh, and I took a shower without asking, but that was okay, right?”
Come to think of it, Kana did mention she often made breakfast for her family, didn’t she? Miku and Saki also said Kana’s cooking was delicious.
“That’s fine. Breakfast, huh? Thanks. And for the sheets too. Also, since it was your first time, was everything okay?”
“Y-Yeah. It felt a little weird, but it’s fine!!!”
When I said that, Kana flushed a little but smiled as she replied.
“I see. Well, that’s good then. Alright, I’ll go take a shower too.”
“Yes!!”
And so, I went to take a shower.
◇
――After finishing my shower and coming back, Kana had finished making breakfast and was waiting.
“Seito-senpai! It’s ready!! Let’s eat together!!!”
“Thanks. Yeah, let’s do that.”
So we started eating the meal Kana had made.
“This is really delicious. Kana, you’re a great cook. Just like I heard.”
“Really? Thank you! Well, I’ve been practicing since elementary school, and sometimes my mom and dad couldn’t come home either.”
“Yeah, she mentioned that. And Suzukaze and Hiiragi praised it too. They said it was amazing since they can’t cook.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, she cooks for us sometimes, and they said it was delicious.”
“That makes me so happy! I’m glad you got to try it too, Seito-senpai. All that practice was worth it!!! I’ll cook for you anytime from now on!”
“That’d be a big help. I’m terrible at cooking.”
“Leave it to me!!”
――After that, we finished eating and cleaning up, so we sat down to talk.
“Hey, Seito-senpai!”
“What is it, Kana?”
“Is it okay if I call Miku-nee and Saki-nee now?”
“Come to think of it, we didn’t get to talk much yesterday. Sure, go ahead. But maybe I shouldn’t be here? You girls might want to talk about something without me. I’ll just check.”
“No need for that. It’s fine if you stay, Seito-senpai.”
Kana said that and started contacting Miku and Saki.
[Miku-nee, Saki-nee, what are you guys doing right now?]
As I looked at Kana’s phone with her, both messages were marked as read almost immediately.
[We’re studying at Saki’s place right now.]
[Are you guys busy?]
[Not really, Kana-chan. Is something up?]
[Nothing’s up, but I thought I should properly update you two. Could I call you guys later? Seito-senpai’s here with me now.]
[If that’s the case, it’s totally fine.]
[We just finished a good section of studying anyway.]
[Got it! I’ll switch to the phone then.]
She said that and switched to the phone.
[Good morning, Suzukaze, Hiiragi.]
[Good morning, Miku-nee, Saki-nee!]
[Good morning, Kana, Kisaragi.]
[Good morning, Kana-chan, Kisaragi-kun.]
[Thanks, Miku-nee, Saki-nee!]
[What’s with the sudden call?]
[Well, you were all worried about me last week!]
[Same here. Thanks for that.]
They hadn’t been as concerned as Kana, but they’d still reassured me, saying things like “It’ll be fine” or “Kana’s parents are kind, so it’ll be okay.”
[Th-that’s only natural… I wanted things to go smoothly for you two.]
[Y-yeah. We care about you two, after all.]
Over the phone, it was hard to tell, but Miku and Saki sounded a little embarrassed as they said that.
[Thanks to your advice, I got Kana’s parents’ approval]
[Yeah! I stayed at Seito-senpai’s place yesterday and got to celebrate my birthday!!!]
[Oh, right. It’s late, but happy birthday from me too, Kana.]
[Happy birthday, Kana-chan! We’ll celebrate properly next week though.]
[Thank you both so much!!!]
After talking for a while longer, she ended the call—
“Suzukaze and Hiiragi are really good people, aren’t they…”
“Yeah. I’m truly grateful to them. They’ve always treated me like a real little sister and helped me so much…”
Kana said this with a smile.
“It totally shows how much they love Kana. But hey, Suzukaze and Hiiragi probably feel the same way about being helped, right?”
I don’t know if the three of them ever talked about it like that, but when I actually spoke with Miku and Saki, they mentioned how much Kana made them smile and how much she helped them.
There’s no doubt that Suzukaze and Hiiragi feel the same way Kana does.
“Is that so?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, if you say so, Seito-senpai, then it must be true!!!”
“I’m not always right, though…”
“No way! Seito-senpai is always right!!”
“That’s going a bit far…”
After a short pause, Kana spoke up.
“Seito-senpai?”
“What is it?”
“How do you feel about Miku-nee and Saki-nee?”
Kana asked that, but it didn’t seem like she was joking.
Unlike before, her expression was serious.
“Why all of a sudden?”
“No reason, I just wondered what you thought… Since I like both Miku-nee and Saki-nee, it kinda bothers me. To me, they’re like big sisters and also my favorite best friends.”
What I thought of the two of them… If I had to answer that, the answer itself was surely decided.
The length of time I know Kana and the two girls wasn’t that different, but the time spent together was completely different. Kana has spent more time withme
Even so, just like with Kana, there were many wonderful things about them that I didn’t realize until I got to know them. I knew they were cute and had great personalities from the start, but spending time with them made me appreciate that even more deeply.
Just like Kana, Miku and Saki are incredibly charming women.
Even considering all that, I want them both to be happy. To be honest, I like them too, though maybe not quite as much as Kana. As friends, and as women… I’m sure that’s how it is.
And if I’m not mistaken, I’m sure they both…
This world is polygamous, and that in itself might not be a problem.
But still, Kana is my number one, and if Kana doesn’t want it, I have no intention of doing anything about it.
Just as I was thinking that, Kana said.
“I’m fine with it, you know?”
“Fine with what?”
When I asked that, Kana smiled brightly and said.
“I won’t say exactly what it is, but you must have noticed, right, Seito-senpai? Like I said earlier, I really love Miku-nee and Saki-nee, so I want to stay with them forever too.”
Hearing that, I vaguely understood what Kana meant.
She must have noticed that the two of them had feelings for me too. And she probably knew I was vaguely aware of it as well? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said something like this…
This could mean Kana would welcome me dating Miku or Saki! But does Kana actually want us to end up together?
Well, I’ve stopped thinking in game terms, but even in games, depending on your affection points, there could be a harem ending…
As I was thinking that, Kana spoke up.
“Hmm… Seito-senpai, you’re overthinking this. I’m done beating around the bush!!! Both you and Miku-nee and Saki-nee should be honest about your feelings!!! There’s no need to be considerate of me! !!”
Kana looked me straight in the face as she said this.
Hearing that, it finally clicked clearly for me.
Kana didn’t necessarily want me, Miku, and Saki to definitely end up together. If any of us had those kinds of feelings, she just wanted us to be honest about them… whether that led to us being together or not.
Is this girl really just a middle schooler? Sometimes she says incredibly mature things… more so than me, actually.
To be honest, I’d been pretending not to notice the feelings Miku and Saki had for me. Like I said earlier, it’s because Kana is here… I could say that, but it’s also true I was running away…
But if Kana says that, then I want to properly face Miku and Saki too.
If they truly care about me, then when that time comes…
“Seriously… you overthink things…”
“Well, if I didn’t, no one would do anything for me!! I wasn’t planning on saying it this clearly, I just meant to hint at it subtly!!!”
Kana puffed out her cheeks as she said this.
“Yeah, yeah. Thanks.”
“That sounds kind of half-hearted!? Show me more gratitude!!”
“Hahaha, it’s not half-hearted. I really am grateful.”
“Well, fine then. Anyway, is it okay if I start staying over at Seito-senpai’s place regularly from now on?”
“That depends on your parents, Kana. As far as I’m concerned, anytime is fine.”
“Then I’ll definitely do that!”
“Well, even if it’s not overnight, you can come over anytime, you know?”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
“I’m so happy! Seito-senpai’s house isn’t that far, so I can come anytime!”
“Well, don’t overdo the visiting, okay? If you do, I’ll get scolded by Suzukaze, Hiiragi, and Kana’s parents.”
“Oh, Seito-senpai! I know that much already! !”
“Hahaha, just kidding. Hold on a sec, though.”
“Sure…”
I said that and went to get something.
“Here, take this.”
“This is…”
What I handed her was a spare key to this house.
“It’s the key to this place. You can come anytime, so I’m giving it to you.”
“Is it okay for me to have it?”
“Why wouldn’t you be allowed to have it?”
“I-I guess so… Well then, I’ll gladly take it!!!”
Kana smiled, looking incredibly happy, and said that.
“Like I said before, don’t get too carried away or you’ll get in trouble, okay?”
“Mouu! I know that already!!!”
Kana and I continued chatting happily after that.
