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 1-13

1-13 Exchanging Contacts for The First Time

TLed by: TanoshiKara

It seems like Saki's mother had prepared various clothes for the girls, other than the outfits they are wearing right now. For example, Lew's current outfit would stand out when she is walking around town, but the other clothes that Saki's mother has selected are more casual.

That helps a lot.

However, Lew seems to have taken quite a liking to the outfit she is wearing, so Kikyou had somewhat of a feeling that she just might head outside while wearing it……

I'll put the clothes into the item box—an application of spatial magic, created in collaboration with Saki—for now.

After that, they had lunch there at the suggestion of Saki's mother and took a short rest after their meal before Saki's mother brought up the main topic, as if it was the most natural thing to do.

"Ah, yes, yes, Kikyou-kun"

"Yes, what is it?"

"I will take care of the matters regarding their family register and the like, so......you can rest easy"

"......Thank you very much, that will help a lot"

"It's fine, it's fine. It is for the sake of these cute girls and Saki's all too precious Kikyou-kun, after all"

"M-Mum!?" Saki exclaimed, her face red as she turned towards her mother.

However, Saki's mother continued the conversation without addressing it.

"......Ah, but, erm, in exchange, I have something to ask of you, though"

"A request? Alright, if it is something I can do"

"......Then, will you come over with everyone to play? Just occasionally will do"

"......Erm, are you alright with just that?"

This stunned Kikyou as he had thought that preparing the family register for Latiana and the others, among other things, were all definitely quite the troublesome tasks, so he was expecting her demand to be as troublesome.

However, contrary to Kikyou, Saki's mother had an unwavering gaze

"That alone will be fine......Or rather, I want nothing else!"

"I do not mind whatsoever, but, as for everyone else—" Kikyou said as he looked around.

It was then that the girls nodded with smiles on their faces.

"—Okay, looks like everyone is fine with that"

The eyes of Saki's mother sparkled when she heard Kikyou's words.

Just then, perhaps out of boredom, Latiana, which had been floating in the air in her fairy form, flew in front of Saki's mother.

"You know, Lati likes mummyyy!"

In an instant, Saki's mother bent backward as if she had an arrow shot through her heart before she collapsed.

......Well, that can't be helped. Lati's smile, combined with the word 'Like', has that level of destructive force, after all, or so Kikyou thought.

"I'll raise her," Saki's mother, who lay on the table in front of him, muttered.

"Eh?"

"......I shall raise Latiana-san! I have decided, I have already deci—" Saki's mother declared as she shot up from her seat.

However, before she could finish her sentence—

"—But, I like Maester and the rest moreee!" Latiana, in her fairy form, exclaimed as if she were trying to talk over her.

"......N-No way—"

After hearing Latiana's words, Saki's mother collapsed, heartbroken.

Latiana, in her fairy form, poked Saki's mother with her finger.

......Hm, I guess this is the end humans who have fallen down the Lati fairy hole meet.

Kikyou smiles bitterly at the embarrassing display, in some sense, of Saki's mother.

Just then, something came to Kikyou's mind all of a sudden, causing him to look towards Saki.

"Ah, that's right. Saki......do you have time tomorrow?"

"......Yes, I don't have any plans in particular......Why do you ask?"

"I was actually thinking about buying everyone's daily necessities. But, you know, being a male, there will be things that I don't know about, so I was thinking it'll help if Saki comes along as well"

"Ahh......I see. I don't mind"

"For real! Thanks!"

"......Or rather, won't you lack the money to buy all of their daily necessities without me?"

"......No, I do have the money my parents left for me for living expenses, so it's not like I can't......but, yes, Saki's assistance will no doubt be of help......" Kikyou said as he smiled bitterly.

You never change, huh, or so Saki said as she sighed.

"My goodness......So, when and where shall we meet?"

"I'll tell you about the details la—oh, come to think of it, I don't know your contact number," Kikyou said, as if he just remembered that fact.

The eyes of the two widened after Kikyou said that.

"......Come to think of it, that's right. ............Hm, this is my FINE ID," Saki said as she showed her ID for the communication app, FINE.

Kikyou stared at it before shifting his gaze to his phone. He then froze as if he was thinking about something before—

"............Erm, what should I do with that?"

"Huh? What're you talking about? Obviously you—" Saki said as she walked up to Kikyou's side.

She then glanced at Kikyou's smartphone—and her eyes popped open from shock.

Believe it or not, there is not a single name in Kikyou's FINE friend list.

"Kikyou......You............"

"Hey, don't look at me with pity in your eyes"

"Well, that's because......or rather, why aren't you even in the class group chat?"

"I am also the weird one for not realizing, though," Saki continues, but that cannot be helped. After all, Saki was a huge misandrist at that time.

"......Well, no one invited me"

"......That's true, you had that sort of personality three years ago. ......Let me borrow it," Saki said as she snatched Kikyou's smartphone.

She then swiped and tapped away at it as if she were used to it.

"Here," She said before returning it to Kikyou.

When Kikyou looked at the screen, he noticed that Saki's name was in his friend list and she had also added him to the class group chat.

"Ohh!"

Kikyou's enthusiasm could be seen in his eyes; A rare occurrence.

......However, the two of them had forgotten at this time...

It is true that the two of them had spent three years together, and it is no exaggeration to say that a familial-like bond had developed between them, but that occurred in the other world.

Why did Saki, a huge misandrist, invite......a boy and Kikyou, a nobody, of all people!?, or so their shocked classmates typed in the chat just as Saki added Kikyou to the group chat, each of them having their own feelings on the matter.

However......the two of them were currently on cloud nine due to their own respective reasons, so they did not notice it at all.

"......Alright then, I will contact you through FINE later," Saki muttered, her cheeks slightly red.

Kikyou nodded when he heard that.

......Staring at them was Saki's mother, who had come to since who knows when. 

She then started a conversation, seemingly having something to add on the matter.

"Say, Saki"

"What is it, mum?"

Saki looks towards her mother.

"If you're going to meet with him tomorrow anyway, why not stay over at Kikyou-kun's house?" Saki's mother said frankly, as if it was not weird in the slightest.

When Saki heard her mother's suggestion, her face turned crimson for the umpteenth time today.

Standing beside Saki, Kikyou, after hearing such an unexpected suggestion—

"—Say what?" Kikyou said, perplexed.
