"Dammit, you lucky guy!"
"Go to hell and explode!"
"Nifuji, you bastard!"
As Nifuji canceled his plan to go to the dating group, those who had invited him and his acquaintances quickly cursed him, as they knew that he had gone out with a cute junior in his department.
This bastard... did he learn how to abuse his authority?!
If he knew what everyone was thinking, he would curse them, as he was a pure guy, ignoring the fact that he would use women for his gains through his system. Then again, it was a transaction, without feelings, so everything was okay, right?
Still, as he had promised Eri, he left the office with her, ignoring the curses of everyone, but he happened to meet his acquaintance, a beautiful woman in the department where he had belonged before.
"Koyanagi-san."
Koyanagi Hanako, a beautiful woman with big boobs, glasses, and shoulder-length green hair, which she tied in a simple low ponytail. Her eyes were quite sharp, making her quite unapproachable, yet when he observed her carefully, they were charming on their own.
Nevertheless, despite how strict she appeared, all of that was just a disguise as she loved to read Yaoi, BL, and all other similar things.
"Are you going home now, Nifuji-kun?"
"Yes, what about?"
"Well, I still have some work, but how are you? It's been a while since I saw you."
Frankly, their relationship was just so-so, and he knew that she was dating someone, so he had never thought to get too close, but as Hanako took the initiative to continue their conversation, he had to talk for a while, but Eri pulled his arm slightly and called him, "Senpai..."
It was just a small gesture, nothing strange, yet it attracted his attention while at the same time showing how she cared, or just showed a little jealousy, that he talked with another woman in front of her presence.
"Hmm..."
Hanako pushed the frame of her glasses and showed a meaningful smile. "It seems you are having a good time in your new department."
"..." Nifuji.
How should he answer this?
After all, there was a chance that Eri couldn't fix herself and remain a lesbian, so he couldn't truly say that he had a good time.
'If only everything was normal...'
He was a bit helpless, but Hanako's words were quite vicious, as they would cause many misunderstandings. "Don't get jealous of me now."
Hanako laughed at his words and teased him. "You have become playful now." Unlike before, Nifuji was an otaku, so he was more or less a quiet type that wouldn't bother to interact with others and just stayed in his own world, playing a game or something else.
"...."
He wouldn't have bothered to talk if it were before, but considering their relationship, it wasn't good of him to continue their conversation, especially when he knew that she had a girlfriend, who was also his friend, and also senior.
Also, if he continued to talk, it would make Eri's cheeks bulge as big as a puffer fish.
Yet, this was also a good way to see how Eri felt toward him, and as he saw her reaction, he didn't tease her anymore, as it was a double-edged method. "If I don't go, then this junior of mine won't invite me out."
"Oh-ho?!"
Hanako laughed, causing Eri to blush, hiding slightly behind Nifuji.
Still, this was also a cue for her.
"Then, I won't bother you two. See you later, Nifuji~!"
"...."
What did she mean by those words?
Did she want to meet him again, even if she knew that he went out with Eri?
"Is that your ex, Senpai?" Eri asked with a slightly awkward expression. It wasn't her place to say this as she hadn't made it clear with him, but... somehow, it bothered her.
"Jealous?"
"....."
"She is just a coworker. Unlike you, I am pretty unpopular."
"...you're a liar."
Unpopular?
If so, then who could be a popular guy in this office?
"I am. I am pretty unfriendly, after all."
"Really?"
Watching her doubt, Nifuji nodded. "Yes, but I thought I wanted to change."
"Why did you want to change?"
"Because I want to get better, and my decision is correct since you even confessed to me."
Eri blushed, then lightly bumped his side. "You are pretty narcissistic, Senpai."
"I think anyone would be narcissistic if they confessed to a beautiful woman like you."
Eri laughed at his words.
Unfortunately, she was a lesbian, making him sigh helplessly.
Still, if he used his "Seeding Uncle Ability," would she learn the wonderfulness of a man?
"...by the way, I might have liked a woman before, but I like you now."
"...can you read my mind?"
"Your thoughts are clear on your face!"
"But, as you are interested in a woman, can you even be interested in a man?"
"...." Eri.
"Oh, right, I forgot that there is a bi."
"..." Eri.
"...are we going to talk about this more?"
"It's just..." Nifuji was in deep thought, trying to think of a proper word. "It's my first time encountering this type of situation. If you leave me for her... it feels weird somehow."
Usually, a woman would leave a man for another man, or a man would leave a woman for another woman, but this time, it was different.
"....." Eri.
What could she say?
As he had said, it was a pretty weird situation, and frankly, she was also surprised by this situation, yet her feelings were real, and she wanted to be with him.
Still—
"Have you thought of making a harem?" Nifuji asked, wondering whether Eri would date him together with this woman.
"....." Eri.
"...do you want me to make a harem?" Eri asked speechlessly.
"I am just asking."
"...do you have a cuckhold fetish, Senpai?"
"Even if you are joking, don't make such a joke!"
Cuckold?
Who loved such a strange fetish?!
Nifuji felt that those who loved cuckold, or NTR, had already broken or were simply ill.
Still, Eri suddenly fell into doubt. "But, if somehow, I bring another woman into our relationship, then wouldn't you have a harem, too? After all, you have two women by your side, don't you?"
"..." Nifuji.
"Even if you are joking, don't make such a joke!"
Harem?
How could a man admit that he wanted to make one even if they wanted to!
Eri looked at him with disdain, then snorted. "You are all the same as any men, Senpai!"
"You are wrong. I just want you to be happy."
"Scumbag!"
"You are a scumbag since you are going to meet another woman after you confessed to me." Nifuji pretended to be sad. "You are toying with my heart!"
"...." Eri
"But, it seems, you don't care even if I leave you..."
It was as if in his heart, she wasn't that important, making her worried.
"Of course not."
Even if that was the truth, how could he say that?
"You are important to me, and I won't let her steal you from me."
While he said so, he reached for her hand, slender, soft, like it was boneless, making it appear fragile, almost making him lessen his grasp, to be careful, but he endured this feeling and grasped her hand tightly.
To get a woman.
If it were in ancient times, two men would duel, and the strongest would get the beautiful woman.
Still, in his case, he wondered, if somehow, she couldn't give up this woman, and the three decided to be together, what would their relationship be?
Was it polyandry?
Yet, as he saw her blushing, beautiful face, as he held her hand... he grasped her hand tighter, thinking that he had to win this duel!
