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
Sudo was then put in a police car and taken to the police station.
He will probably be severely punished for the number and severity of the crimes he has committed.
He may never get out of jail.
And as for us?
“I’m sorry, I know you’ve been through a lot, but I’ve been listening to you for a long time.”
“No problem.”
Hanyu-san saw us off at the entrance of the police station.
“Leave the rest to me. The only thing I have to do is to take care of the aftermath.”
But I’m sure that Hanyu san has a lot of work ahead of him.
But he made no sign of it, as if he didn’t want me to be bothered by it.
I was impressed.
People like Hanyu san are trying to protect not only the people around them but also Japan as a whole.
“Be careful on your way home. Make sure you give the young lady a proper ride home.”
“Yes, of course.”
I look at Ichinose standing next to me.
Ichinose returned my gaze with a calm expression on her face.
Ichinose was also being questioned about being taken hostage by Sudo.
As expected, I could see fatigue on her face.
“Then, we’ll meet again at that place.”
“Yes, see you.”
I waved my hand to Hanyu san and started walking.
The evening had changed completely, and Ichinose and I were walking side by side.
“I’m tired”
“Yes”
A lot of things.
So many things have happened.
In this short period of about half a year.
“But was it okay? you didn’t go home with the people at the store or Ryosuke’s mother.”
“It seems like Hitomi san still has a lot of things to do, and mom… well, I guess she’s at home, right? She’s kind of wandering around.”
“Fufu. I see.”
I feel like I’m looking at a picture of my dad right now and thinking about him.
I’m still not as strong as him, and I’m still not the kind of guy that people gather around when they notice him.
…… but I strongly want to be like that from now on.
This is because there are people who I want to be next to and I want to protect them.
“Besides, I wanted to send Ichinose home properly. I wanted the two of us to walk shoulder to shoulder and talk.”
I stopped and looked at Ichinose.
“Ryosuke?”
Ichinose stopped and tilted her head.
I inhaled and exhaled once.
Then I began to speak.
“I am very grateful to Ichinose. That day, when you hugged me in the empty classroom. You saved me so much. I was able to look forward and start walking again. It was all thanks to Ichinose.”
“N-No, that’s not true. I was just there with you. I just stayed with you, talked to you a little bit, and that’s not at all as much as Ryosuke did for me,…….”
“That was incredibly “redeeming” for me.”
“! Ryosuke…”
I can’t get the words right.
In the course of speaking, feelings overflow again, and I want to tell you this and that.
However, I’m sure there will be plenty of time in the future to put each of these into words.
I don’t think about trying to say it well.
I’m not the type of person who is good with words.
Instead, I’m going to be more direct and communicate in my own way.
“When Ichinose was kidnapped by Sudo and held hostage, I was honestly scared. If it had been me who was in danger, I wouldn’t have thought so. So when I had to make a choice between the two, I chose to die without hesitation. I realized then that I was in danger of being killed. …… No, I realized it long before that. Ichinose is more important to me than myself.”
I looked straight into Ichinose’s eyes.
I am sure that words alone will not be enough to convey the message.
“Ichinose. I–”
And I said.
“I love Ichinose.”
The simplest and most emotional words filled the space between Ichinose and me.
Ichinose’s eyes widen in surprise and she clamps her hand over her mouth.
“Ryosuke likes me ……?”
“Yeah, I love you. I want to protect you from now on, and even though it’s pathetic, I want you to support me. So that I can continue to make the people around me happy.”
I long to be like my father.
Ichinose looks down and closes her mouth.
Soon after, she said,
“…..I’m so happy. I’m so happy.”
Ichinose drops a few tears on the ground.
“Ichinose ……”
“This kind of thing does happen. To think that the person you like will also like you back.”
“!!”
Ichinose looks up and looks at me.
There were tears in her eyes, but her face remained radiant.
――Ah, I see.
Tears are not shed when you are sad, but when you are happy.
“Ryosuke!”
Ichinose hugs me.
I accepted Ichinose’s body and a feeling of happiness enveloped me and Ichinose together.
“I like you too! I love you, Ryosuke! I want to be with you forever, I think from the bottom of my heart!”
“Me too.”
“Fufu, you make me so happy. I’m so happy to be able to communicate with you. It’s a strange feeling. But …… I’m more than happy!”
I hugged Ichinose.
I felt like there was an emotion of love in everything I touched.
I hugged Ichinose for a while.
I wish this time could last forever.
Then, ….
“How long are you going to hold each other?!”
This voice is …….
“This is the middle of a road!?”
“Yes, yes~!”
Sena, Hananoi, and Hazuki come over.
I and Ichinose left and faced the three of them.
“What are you doing here?”
“I was worried about you, so I came to get you.”
“I see. I’m afraid of the interview or something like that.”
”And after what happened~”‘
“……, but I never thought I’d see it like this in person.”
“Totally~!”
Does that mean that the three of them heard the entire conversation I had with Ichinose earlier?
But we have to talk properly.
“Hey guys, I’ve…….”
“You don’t have to say anything.”
Sena interrupted and let out a sigh.
“I expect this to happen, so I’m not surprised.”
“Haha,……, you’re right.”
Hananoi smiles bitterly.
Then she turned my attention to Ichinose, who was standing next to me.
“Congratulations, Ichinose-san!”
“! um…”
“I don’t need that!”
Sena said sharply.
And then she smiled wickedly.
“Because this is not the end.”
Hananoi and Hazuki also grinned,
“It’s more like a start, isn’t it?~”
“I-I hope you don’t underestimate us! If there’s a chance, I’ll do it!”
“….. indeed, it’s worth competing”
Ichinose suddenly smiles and takes my hand.
“But I will never give him to you♡”
‘””！！！！”””
Ichinose smiles as she stares at me.
The eyes are seductive and devilish.
The scent of danger was in the air.
And it is not only Ichinose, but also …….
“I won’t give up now either, will I? Fufu, be prepared, okay? ♡”
“It’s mine in the end you know~? I’ll take care of you from now on, Kujo-kun♡”
“I’m going to take all of them. okay, Kujo? ♡”
The dangerous eyes from the four of them made my face involuntarily pull into a tight line.
However, my cheeks gradually relaxed.
The area becomes completely dark.
And after a little while, it will brighten up again and the day will begin.
I wondered what kind of future awaited me after all these days.
But I thought, without any certainty, that there must be a good future waiting for me.
