Episode 14 – Interlude The Daily Life of an Eroge Protagonist Toshiki’s Point of View

I Was Reincarnated as a Best Friend Character in an Eroge, and Took Away the Hero’s Harem ~Even Though I’m the Best Friend Character, I’ve Become Involved in a Physical Relationship With the Heroines~

[Toshiki’s point of view]

“Is there no harem end in reality……”

After the launch, I was thinking about what Tetsuhiko had said to me on my way home from the station.

“That Tetsuhiko has a strange intuition.”

Even during the party, everything was moving in advance, and it was as if he knew what was going to happen in the future.

　
“It’s as if he’s suddenly changed.”

Tetsuhiko used to be the one who played the fool, and I was the one making the fool out of him, but recently Tetsuhiko is no longer a fool.

”Is he possessed by someone else? Haha….”

　
……, I laugh to myself and think seriously about harem.

First of all, a harem is a man’s dream.

Every man wants to be loved by more than one girl.

When girls fight over him,……, it satisfies his need for approval as a man.

“Tetsuhiko’s a strange guy.”

I’ve never thought of building a harem.

I don’t know why, but naturally I’m surrounded by all girls.

And they are all cute girls. ……

“I don’t know why he said I should give up on harems when it’s not my fault.”

Indeed, for some reason, the only guy around me is Tetsuhiko.

And this has been the case since I was a kid and there were always only girls nearby.

My childhood friend Kiriha, my idol Aisa, my junior Yumemi – there are many other girls.

“Could it be that I’m weird ……?”

Tetsuhiko’s words have stuck with me.

The boys around me always said that I couldn’t get along with girls, but I couldn’t understand it.

For some reason I always end up getting along with girls.

The only male friend I have is Tetsuhiko.

“Girls come up to me naturally,…… isn’t that normal?”

While walking, I suddenly stopped.

Perhaps I’m not a normal guy.

Normal guys don’t have a girl they’ve known since childhood waking them up in the morning, or the student council president onee san calling out to them, “Boy!”

It’s just normal everyday life for me.

“Lately, Kiriha doesn’t come in the morning. ……”

Until a while ago, Kiriha used to come to my room every morning and wake me up.

But lately she hasn’t been coming at all.

I’ve been getting up by myself lately.

“Aisa stopped hugging me, too. ……”

Aisa, who lived in a foreign country, used to give me hugs when I went to class in the morning.

Tetsuhiko used to tell me that he envied me, but I didn’t know what that meant because it was so routine for me.

But when Aisa’s hugs are gone too, I feel a little sad.

“Come to think of it, both Kiriha and Aisa seem to be talking about Tetsuhiko all the time ……?”

It seems like I used to be the one at the center of the conversation …….

I’ve never been conscious of it, but it seems like recently I’ve become less central.

Both Kiriha and Aisa greet Tetsuhiko first, not me.

“Something” is gradually changing from before……

“Let’s talk to Tetsuhiko for a minute.”

Tetsuhiko is my best friend.

That will never change.

…… will never change, will it?
