Episode 5 – Best friend character eats heroine’s lunch

---

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~

“Tetsuhiko-kun ……! Come here for a minute!”

As soon as the lunchtime chime rings, Kiriha comes flying to me.

And as soon as she came, she suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me.

I was a little surprised at her sudden action.

“Where are you going?”

“Where do you mean ……? Of course going to lunch.”

“Lunch?”

“You see, …… I have to talk to you about Toshiki again. ……”

The eyes of the classroom are all on me and Kiriha at once.

“Maybe those two…” I hear whispering voices.

Kiriha always attracts people’s attention no matter what she does.

I wish she would think more about her influence and act accordingly……

“I understand. Let’s go.”

“Thanks! Let’s eat on the rooftop!”

I headed to the rooftop with Kiriha pulling me by the arm.

★

The dazzling summer sunlight pours onto the rooftop.

The cloudless blue sky looks like a certain soft drink commercial.

We sit in the slight shade.

(There was a scene like this…..)

The scene where Toshiki and Kiriha eat their lunch on the rooftop.

Eating a bento made by the childhood friend heroine–a standard development in romantic comedies.

Only the hero can eat a bento made by the childhood friend heroine.

That is the world of eroge.

But for some reason…

“Tetsuhiko-kun, will you eat my lunch?”

“Eht? I can eat it?”

“Yes. I made it for Tetsuhiko kun.”

(Hey, hey, hey! Why would you do that?)

It is Toshiki, the hero, who eats Kiriha’s bento.

Why would I, the best friend character, eat the heroine’s bento?

Seriously, how did this happen? ……

“Kiriha, if you’re going to make a bento, you have to make it for Toshiki.”

“I’ll make it for Toshiki when we go out. But right now I want to make it for Tetsuhiko-kun.”

“Why ……?”

“I’m always asking for advice and help. Also, I want Tetsuhiko kun to always be on my side.”

I’m glad that she’s taking my advice, but I feel guilty because I feel like I’m taking Toshiki’s position.
　
A heroine’s bento must be something special after all.

Of course, I want to eat the bento made by my oshi so badly. ……

“So, Tetsuhiko-kun, eat it?”

“But you know,……”

“…… or you don’t like the bento I made for you?”

“No, I don’t.”

“Thank you! Here, Aaahn”

Kiriha picks up the tamagoyaki with her chopsticks and brings it to my mouth.

(I can’t do “ahn” as expected. ……)

“Sorry, I’ll eat it myself.”

“Ah …… sorry. I did something weird.”

Kiriha blushes and looks down.

The heroine is the only one who feeds the hero.

I am only the best friend character. I’m just a supporting character around Toshiki.

Of course I want my oshi’s “ahnn” very much, but ……!

I take my own chopsticks and eat the tamagoyaki.

(This is good ……!)

The fluffy egg melts in your mouth. It’s also salty, just the right amount of saltiness, and it’s seriously tasty.

“How do you like it? Delicious ……?”

“Yes. It’s really good.”

“I’m so glad~! I worked hard on it, so here, eat this too!”
　
Kiriha pointed at the kinpira gobo with chopsticks.

“I’ll have some. …. This one is good, too.”

“I’m so happy. Ah yeah! Tetsuhiko kun, you’re going to be my taste tester until I go out with Toshiki.”

“Taste tester? ……”

From now on, I can eat my oshi’s bento every day. ……

I’m not sure if there is anyone in this world who wouldn’t say yes.

“Sure, I’ll do it. If it’s okay with me.”

“I’ll put all my energy into making it again tomorrow.”

“You don’t have to work so hard, but I’m looking forward to it.”

If it’s true, Toshiki is the only one who can eat Kiriha’s lunch.

I don’t know if I can eat it, but I’m sure it will be my daily sustenance from now on.

“So what did you want to talk to me about?”

“About the party of the final exam.”

“I knew it.”

“It’s going to be at Aisa chab’s house today, isn’t it? I’m sure Aisa chan is preparing something. I have a favor to ask you, Tetsuhiko kun ……”

“A favor?”

“Yes. I want Tetsuhiko kun to find out what Aisa chan is planning to do.”

In short, Kiriha’s request is for me to become a spy.

I will have to talk to Aisa and find out about the party

“I’m sorry. You don’t like it, do you?”

“I don’t mind. I’ll do it. I’ll talk to Aisa.”

“Thank you! That’s Tetsuhiko kun!”

“In return, I’ll expect your lunch tomorrow.”

“Yes! You can look forward to it!”
　
Kiriha smiles brightly.

There is nothing more nourishing than the smiles of your oshi

It tastes better than any bento.

“There’s just no time. ……”

“I know. I’m really sorry.”

“No, it’s okay. I’ll make it work.”

The party will be held after school today.

It’s lunchtime now. Afternoon classes will start in a few minutes.

The break between fifth and sixth period.

There are only ten minutes.

In this short time, I had to get information from Aisa.

“Not only about the party, I’m going to ask her about Toshiki, too.”

“Really? That would be a big help!!”

　
Kiriha was more pleased than I had expected.

As a best friend character, I will support the romance between Toshiki and Kiriha.

I will gladly carry out this spy mission.　

Love is an information war.

The accuracy of information can mean the difference between life and death.

Sometimes you have to use spies and manipulate information to win. Dirty tricks are part of the strategy—
