Harem Cheat Life in Present-day Japan ~The Story of the Male Teen who returned to Earth after saving Another World as the Hero and the Heroines who followed along for some reason~ Chapter 1-1

1-1 The Heroines have come to Japan!?

TLed by: TanoshiKara

"Is it......over?" A teen, Kikyou Ichinose, murmurs, dumbfounded.

This being something too unexpected, Kikyou would, of course, not be able to deal with this on his own so he immediately contacted Saki after that.

By the way, as he did not know her number, he got the number for her house from the school's contact network and dialed it but, a female who knows Saki is a huge male hater—from her manner of speech, a housekeeper perhaps?—answered and was extremely surprised......well, that happened but, for now, he succeeded in calling her over.

Telling her his address, he finds out that, among other things, her house is surprisingly close.

After waiting several minutes. Saki, a beautiful female teen, with reddish brown hair, tied in twin-tail style came over to his house.

Inviting her in for now, he explains the situation.

"......Erm, in other words, what do you mean?" With Kikyou's words and its proof, the scene right in front of her, Saki asks in a confused voice a moment after he finishes his explanation.

"Well, as I was saying......when I came back to Japan, a light suddenly overflowed, and when it dimmed, the four of them, in front of my eyes......"

"I do not understand what you are saying at all"

"I agree"

Kikyou, the very person explaining, did not understand the situation as well, and he had an indescribable smile on his face.

Saki had the same expression on her face as well, but, after a moment, she let out a sigh, and, with a voice tinged with a little shyness, said, "......Well, but is that not great? I am also happy that everyone is here."

As she says that, Saki directs her gaze at the female teens who are clinging to Kikyou's body as if to say, "We will never be apart ever again", and Latiana, who was playing around with Kikyou's face. And, at the thought of "Life in Another World", which she thought that she could never see again, a gentle smile appears on her face.

"Uh-huh, that is true but. See, if they are going to live in Japan from now on, I fewl raiii-......hey, Lati! Do not play around with my mouth when I am conversing!"

When Kikyou gives Latiana, who was pinching his face before his eyes, a light warning, she cackles and flies away gleefully.

Originally, it is not good to play pranks to interrupt a conversation but she is only three-years-old in Human years. Well, she is at that age.

Saki giggles slightly when she sees that and continues the conversation after that.

"I do indeed think that there are problems but......it will be fine somehow no?"

"You suree are optimistic"

"Well, that is because I seem to be able to use magic as usual so I do think that, if it all goes well, we can have them live their lives without constraints"

Kikyou's eyes went wide when he heard that shocking fact Saki mentioned indifferently.

"Eh......? We can use magic?"

"Uh-huh......See" Saki produces a small ember at the palm of her hand as she says this.

"Whoa, it is Fire. ......We can really use magic I see"

—He saw hope.

That is just how useful this thing known as Magic is, or so Kikyou thought. 

However, even with that said, there is still a problem.

As if seeing through Kikyou's thoughts, Saki opens her mouth to speak.

"And, if it is money, you have me. Rely on me by all means, Kikyou"

Kikyou puts on a smug face as she puts her hand on her chest. However, that is only natural. Her mother manages an Apparel brand that everyone knows and is its President and Fashion Designer. And, he has heard before that Saki is helping that very mother with her work.

It is most likely that she is paid an income at that time.

However—

"No, that is obviously—"

Receiving help from someone else for money is something he was obviously reluctant to do. While he had that thought, it is also a fact that he could not prepare enough money to support them immediately.

And, it is not only the money. Assuming that they will be living in this world permanently, even residence would obviously be—

"Hm? Come to think of it, where will everyone stay?" Kikyou asks as if he remembered all of a sudden.

Seeing this, Saki replies, all too naturally, "Is that not a given that it will be at Kikyou's house?"

"......Eh?"

"Well, everyone does not know anything about this world and we are the only people they know. Also, I do not think that everyone would want to leave Kikyou's side in the first place"

"Right?" She says as she gazes at the teens.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, they nodded, probably thinking that they might trouble him but any other way is unthinkable.

Kikyou also recalled his life in the other world and, feeling that it was as they had said, he did not argue.

Saki continues.

"That is why I think that you will struggle with money. ......When it comes to supporting four females of age, you will need quite a sum. To start off, you will not be able to earn it through Part-time work"

"There is no mistaking that"

Even if skills could be used, those are all not what a regular high schooler needs to earn money. —No, there are ways to earn money if he wants to, but those that come to mind would only lead him to stand out in a bad way.

Seeing Kikyou agree, Saki speaks once again.

"Well then. Rely on me, Kikyou. I shall support all of these teens including you"

......Hmmmm, there is no choice but to rely on her huh. Then, first off is—

"What is the price......"

"Going on a date alone with me twice a month......how about that?"

They propped up when they heard Saki's words.

In contrast, hearing such an easier-than-expected—minus feelings such as embarrassment, of course—demand, Kikyou, with the wind out of his sails, asks, "Eh-......Are you alright with just that?"

"Just that......Do you not know how valuable that is?"

The three female teens also gazed at him with eyes implying, "Do you not know?". Latiana is still not at the age where she would know such things but, as if hating to be left out, she puts her hand on her hip before Kikyou's eyes and pouted.

Many of such doubtful gazes are directed at him, but Kikyou, unsure of what is going on, says, "Valuable......?".

Hearing this, Saki sighs and with a voice that cannot be heard by Kikyou, murmurs, "Haaa......your self-esteem suree is low as usual".

"............?"

Unable to hear what Saki was saying, Kikyou tilted his head.

"Anyway. A date twice a month is the condition and you get aid in funds for the time being—will that be alright?"

"Let us go with that, please......"

A little pathetic, but it is probably not good to be obstinate here and let Latiana and his other comrades experience leading a meager lifestyle.

Considering this, Kikyou faces Saki and bows his head. At that moment, the three others, except Latiana, understanding that they were troubling her with their living expenses, bowed their heads apologetically—the problem of living expenses has been resolved for now.
