I am that male friend in the harem story-Chapter 254: Dress Code

'No, no.'

Shaking his head, he should just put away his unrealistic hope, thinking that Chitanda would be okay with everything. He was a scumbag, who dated so many women at the same time and more importantly, it had been determined that he would be marrying Kaho, so even if Chitanda joined in; instead of having her happiness, he knew that he would just ruin her hope.

The love, hope, and wish that every woman wished for, which was marriage, was impossible for him to realize, as his wife's choice was Kaho.

While Irisu and Ibara were okay as they had been fully messed up by him, Chitanda was still clean, and he hoped for her to remain chaste instead of being a lewd woman like those three.

'I am the one who did it, though.'

"By the way, I brought some mochis and teas with me. I hope that your family likes it."

"Ah, no, you don't have to trouble yourselves like this, Fukube-san."

Chitanda was surprised but told him that he had no need to trouble himself by buying gifts for her family as he came with a good intention, and that was to pay a homage to her uncle.

"It's fine. I bought it anyway. If you don't accept it, then it will be wasteful."

Hearing those words, Chitanda was a bit helpless, but she nodded with a smile. "Okay, thank you, but next time, you shouldn't trouble yourselves like this."

"Yes." Satoshi only nodded, and whether he would follow her words or not was another matter. "So, are your parents inside?" If so, then he knew that he had to greet her parents first.

"Ah, no, they are on a business trip now. They are not present at the house."

While Chitanda might just answer his question normally, Satoshi's brows couldn't help but slightly rise. "I see. Then, what should I do now?"

"Well, please wait for me here for a moment. Let's go to the graveyard after I put these inside."

"Okay."

As Satoshi nodded, Chitanda quickly returned to the house and put all the gifts that he had brought inside.

Still, inwardly, as he waited on the outside, he thought that all the wealthy families in this city had large houses.

No, Chitanda's house was practically a Japanese mansion with rice paddies surrounding it like a fortress that was located in the middle of the moor.

While it was hard to see the inside of the building from the outside due to the tall wall, Satoshi could see that her place was quite old, yet it was comfortable. At the same time, it might be his first time seeing an authentic Japanese mansion.

In his life as Ishigami, he had visited Kaguya's home that was located in Kyoto, which also happened to be a Japanese mansion, but even so, unlike Chitanda's, Kaguya's place was modernized as Kaguya's father was weak and sickly, so it would be comfortable for her father to live, so when the critical time happened, he could be quickly saved.

Regardless, Satoshi wondered whether Chitanda only lived in that large house with her parents.

"Sorry to make you wait, Fukube-san."

"No, it's fine." Satoshi shook his head and felt quite relieved when he didn't see her change her clothes to match his. After all, compared to his sharp suit, it was better for her to dress in her usual lively and cute clothes.

"Let's go, Fukube-san. I will lead you."

"Okay."

As the two walked, Chitanda kept glancing at him, staring at him from up and down with a flush.

"...as expected, my clothes are weird, right?"

"Ah, no, y-you are handsome, but... why did you choose a suit, Fukube-san?"

Yes, Satoshi was so handsome that Chitanda couldn't take her eyes away from him, but she was also curious about his choice of clothes, as it was her first time seeing someone of her age dress so sharply and manly.

Was it because he wanted to impress her like those peacocks in their mating session?

While Satoshi wasn't sure what Chitanda was thinking, he just told her the truth.

"To be honest, I am also wondering what kind of clothes are suitable for this occasion, considering my age. The most suitable will be my school uniform, but to wear my school uniform on a weekend to your house is a bit weird."

"You are right."

With their age, if they came to a formal occasion, the best attire they chose should be the school uniform, especially in this country, but considering the time, and this event also couldn't be said as a formal, it would be weird of him to wear a school uniform to visit Chitanda's house during a weekend, right?

"If I wear my casual clothes, it will be even weirder since I am going to pay a homage to your uncle's graveyard. If I come with hip-hop style clothes, then come to your uncle's graveyard, what do you think?"

"....." Chitanda.

If Satoshi wore casual clothes or even hip-hop-style clothes, would that be appropriate?

Instead of paying homage, would he throw a rap concert in the graveyard?

If Satoshi did that, he was afraid that he would be cursed after he went home.

"So, after a long thought, I decided to wear a suit."

Anyway, a suit is never the wrong type of clothing for a man.

Whether it was for work, a date, or even visiting a family, and many others, it was the perfect and appropriate.

Yet, without a doubt, due to Satoshi's age, it might feel slightly strange for him to choose a suit, but then again, it suited him, and also suited the occasion, so it was good.

If Satoshi was much older, then no one would find fault with him.

Still, if his identity was still the previous Ishigami, then Satoshi felt like wearing a suit wouldn't be weird, but with his identity as a countryside boy, it might be a little weird, right?

However, he wasn't someone who cared about the opinions of others, and he was handsome enough, so who cares?

"But I am surprised that you have a suit, Fukube-san."

"Oh, this is from the publishing house."

"Eh? You got it from the publishing house?"

"Yup." Satoshi nodded. "I might go to Tokyo again since I won an award, so when we talked, they sent me a suit for the occasion. Fortunately, it suits me."

"Yes, it suits you, Fukube-san."

Only when Chitanda said those words could Satoshi feel that her expression was slightly gloomy before lowering her head without telling him what she thought at this moment.
