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

*Hananoi Ayaka’s point of view

When the signboard fell down and Senpai was injured, I felt it was my responsibility.

That is why I could not deny it strongly when Chiba-san and others told me it was on purpose.

It wasn’t intentional, but it was definitely my responsibility.

But…….

I didn’t do anything to intentionally injure him.

Yet, the people around me looked at me with contempt.

I was scared.

I despaired that I would be treated like a criminal and would have to spend my days constantly exposed to this gaze.

…… but Miyako-chan and Yayo-chan denied it.

I was relieved. I was not alone.

Even so, Chiba san and the others persisted, and I felt very uneasy.

I didn’t do anything like that, so why …..!

At that time, Ichinose-san spoke back to Chiba-san and the others.

Furthermore, Kujo-kun followed me up.

He even took over for me …….

“I’ll take care of it.”

He said this to reassure me.

My heart fluttered. My heart was shaken.

Kujo-kun was so strong that he didn’t need me to worry about him, and he beat that Sudo-kun.

He had a huge lead, but he made a huge comeback.

That time, when Kujo-kun cut the goal tape.

Time passed slowly, as if in slow motion.

I couldn’t take my eyes off Kujo-kun.

……Ah, what a cool guy he is.

I was probably looking full of anxiety, but you reassured me and even won

He is too cool. Of course Ichinose-san would like him too.

“You’re amazing, Kujo-kun!”

I was unintentionally so excited that I ran up to Kujo-kun.

“I, I ……!”

I don’t know what words to use to express my feelings.

However, I wanted to convey this inexpressible feeling somehow.

Seeing me in such a frustrated state, Kujo kun smiled and said,

“Haha, I’m glad.”

“!!!”

I was struck hard in the chest.

The inside of my body feels hot, and soon my whole body feels like it’s on fire.

I felt a similar feeling to this yesterday.

Just thinking about Kujo-kun makes my body hot.

My senses are mysteriously sharpened.

Then I start thinking only about Kujo-kun.

Then Kujo-kun went down to Chiba-san and the others and began to reveal the truth.

I was surprised.

How could he have prepared for this before he started running?

Besides, he would win the race with a huge upset over Sudou-kun …….

My heart beat faster again.

I knew I had this feeling.

“Until just a moment ago, Hananoi is under this gaze you know.”

Kujo-kun steps forward.

The figure from behind showed his strength, and Kujo-kun looked bigger.

“It’s not right to put the blame on Hananoi, no matter how jealous you are of her.”

…… Ah, yes.

This heat is appealing to me as my heart beats.　

He’s trying to make me realize my “feelings”.

I look up at Kujo-kun.

He looked at Chiba and the others with unwavering eyes, and then said

“Hananoi would never do such a terrible thing. Never.”

–Dokun.

My heart pulses strongly again.

I already know.

Of course I know this.

Oh, I see. I–

I like Kujo-kun.

“..haaa”

I sigh unintentionally.

Even that breath is warm because of “love”.

Even in the quiet corridor, I couldn’t calmly look at it.

It was as if the world had changed forever.

“I don’t like him anymore.”

I thought I liked Sudo-kun so much, but I don’t like him at all anymore.

It was terrible, but now I was so fascinated by Kujo-kun that I rather wondered why I had liked him at all.

“Kujo Ryosuke-kun.”

I try to say his name.

And again, I confirm the heat that lights up inside.

There is no doubt. I love Kujo-kun.

I don’t know much about Kujo-kun at all yet, but I like him.

The more strongly I want to know, the more I’m attracted to him.

“Mou…….”

My face is hot.

I can’t show this to anyone.

I entered the classroom holding my face in my hands.

“……Eh”

“Good night, Ayaka.”

I was in the classroom and it was Sudo-kun.

He was leaning against my desk and looking at me.

“Why are you here? You didn’t clean up, did you?”

“I was waiting for you. –I was waiting for Ayaka.”

Sudo-kun looked straight at me.

The eyes that I used to like before were somewhat “scary” to me now.

“I-I see! I’m sorry I’m late! Going home together or something like that, right? Oh~, you are so kind after all, Sudo-kun! I’ve been through a lot today too, and you’ve been so considerate ……”

“No, I wasn’t.”

　
Sudo-kun interrupted with a serious expression.

“I’ve been waiting for something I wanted to say to Ayaka.”

“What do you want to say?”

Sudo-kun goes silent.

I wonder why. It’s scary after all.

Still, I felt like it would be dangerous if I averted my gaze, so I waited for Sudo-kun to speak.

“Hey Ayaka”

Sudo-kun takes a step toward me.

Then, with a shadow on his face, he said

“Would you like to go on a date with me on our next day off?”
