(Author's Note: Alright! This is it! The final chapter for Haneoka Girls High School's Harem Arc!)
(The following chapter is very long. So, hope you have the patience to finish this.)
(Y/N)'s POV
Hazawa Coffee Shop
Sunday, Morning
It is another good day today under the beautiful blue sky. I decided to start my day by heading to Hazawa Coffee Shop for a cup of coffee and a slice of cake.
Tsugumi: Welcome!
(Y/N): Hello. I would like to reserve a table for one.
Tsugumi: Yes! Come this way, please!
She gestured her hands as I followed her all the way to an empty table.
Tsugumi: I'll get your orders quick!
(Y/N): Alright.
As I wait for my order to arrive, I scrolled through my phone because it's not like I have anything to do instead of just staring at the wall. Then, the door opened as I saw 4 girls entering the cafe.
???: Good morning, Tsugu!
The pink colored with a pigtail hair style girl greeted the coffee girl. They sat at an empty table together.
Tsugumi: Good morning, Himari-chan!
Moca: The bread lover, Moca-chan is here~
???: You always are, Moca.
The maroon haired girl said.
???: Good morning.
I went to gaze at them and it caught my attention. The girl with black hair and a red left bangs is somewhat familiar to me. But then, it hits me. I went to their table leaving mine behind for a short time and they all looked at me. The black hair girl then ask me.
???: What?
(Y/N): Are you... HH-chan?
???: Huh?!
Himari: HH-chan? Who is that?
(Y/N): You didn't know? Hold on.
I opened my phone and searched for HH-chan on the Internet. Then, I showed it to them.
(Y/N): This one.
Her eyes widened when she saw there's someone who has a similar look just like her. The others are also quite shocked.
Moca: Oh~ Ran has a twin.
Ran: N-No, I didn't! That's not me either!
(Y/N): Oh... I see. I'm sorry then.
I bowed down at her.
Ran: It's okay.
Tsugumi: (Y-Y/N)-san! Your orders are ready!
The coffee girl told me as the cup of coffee and a slice of cake I ordered is already on the table.
(Y/N): My bad. I was busy talking with these girls.
Tsugumi: Oh, they're my friends.
Moca: Hello~
(Y/N): Nice to meet you girls.
Tsugumi: Would you like to know us?
(Y/N): Umm...
I got a feeling that my girlfriend might catch me chatting with them and kill them off. So, I make it quick.
(Y/N): Of course.
Tsugumi offered me a chair as I thanked her and sit with them.
(Y/N): So, allow me to introduce myself. (Y/N)(L/N), just an average guy. Nice to meet you.
Ran: Ran Mitake.
Moca: The bread lover, Moca Aoba~
Himari: Himari Uehara!
Tomoe: Tomoe Udagawa. Nice to meet you.
(Y/N): Udagawa? So, you must be Ako's big sister.
Tomoe: Oh, I see that you met her.
(Y/N): Yeah, her band members as well.
Ran: You met Roselia before?
(Y/N): Yes, I do. Why is that?
Ran: They're our rivals.
Now, this is something new for me. I'd never thought that Roselia, my band girlfriends, has a rivalry against them.
(Y/N): A rivalry?
Ran: Yes. Minato-san is the one who started it.
(Y/N): Heh, typical Yukina with her goal to reach over the top.
Everyone went silence when I mentioned Yukina, and it's getting awkward.
Ran: We're also in a band named Afterglow. I'm the vocalist.
Moca: Moca-chan is the guitarist~
I already saw that during the school festival.
Himari: I'm the bassist and the leader of the band!
Tomoe: The drummer, just like Ako.
Tsugumi: I think you already knew that I'm the keyboardist, right?
(Y/N): Indeed, Tsugumi-san.
Ran: We are a band together consists of childhood friends.
(Y/N): Mmm... childhood friends... I never have even one though.
Himari: Wait, you never had any best friend?
(Y/N): Sadly, no.
Another silence between us as they felt bad for me. But, I don't really care because I have my yandere harem. So, I excused myself out of the conversation.
(Y/N): I... want to go dig in to my order now.
Tsugumi: Okay.
I went back to my table and finish my breakfast without saying anything. After that, I paid for the coffee and cale as I head out.
Timeskip...
Convenience Store
Right now, I'm heading to the convenience store since I ran out of food inside of the fridge. As I head there, I saw Ran was at the entrance as I approached and greet her.
(Y/N): Hey there.
Ran: Oh, it's you again.
(Y/N): I'm so sorry for just barging in your conversation with your friends.
Ran: It's fine. I don't really care about it.
(Y/N): Good to know.
???: (Y/N), Mitake-san.
We heard the familiar voice and it was Yukina who was in her casual outfit.
Ran: Minato-san...
(Y/N): Oh, it's Yukina. How are you doing today?
Yukina: I'm fine.
Then, Yukina glare at Ran who were doing the same. I can feel an intense rivalry between these two. I decided to barge in and stop these.
(Y/N): Ahem, anyway... why are you here, Yukina?
Yukina: Isn't it obvious? I want to buy some things and to see you.
(Y/N): You do care about me. That's nice.
Ran: Hold on a second. You love (Y/N)?
Yukina: Yes, I'm his girlfriend.
Ran: Wait, what? He didn't tell me about this.
(Y/N): It's because you didn't even bother asking.
Yukina: I hate to say this to you, but... you're left behind with your band in terms of getting boyfriend, Mitake-san.
Man, no need to go harsh with Ran. But, since they're secretly a yandere and they might threaten me if I defended anyone else other than my girlfriend, I keep myself quiet.
Yukina: Anyway, I got to go. Hope that you'll take me on a date later, (Y/N).
(Y/N): I will. Bye.
She then walk away from us and it's kind of getting awkward because we are don't know what to talk about. Luckily, Ran asked me a favor.
Ran: Hey (Y/N).
(Y/N): Yes?
Ran: Would you like to go to our concert with Poppin'Party next weekend at the downtown? I won't force you though.
I thought about her offer for a second. I don't really have any plan and it's not like I had anything else to do. The others seems to be busy anyway with their career or business.
(Y/N): Sure thing. I'll be sure to make it there and support both of you and Poppin'Party.
Ran: Thank you. I got to go now. See you.
(Y/N): Me too. Bye.
We went seperate ways for the day and mind our own business.
Timeskip brought to you by Chibi (Y/N) cheering on Chibi Afterglow performing on stage.
The next week...
Downtown
Saturday, Evening
The day has finally come for Afterglow's concert. It was held at the downtown thanks to the poster pasted nearby the convenience store I was at and there they are. Poppin'Party was in their stage outfit and same goes to Afterglow.
Kasumi: Ah! (Y/N)-kun!
She went to hug me without warning.
Arisa: Kasumi! Don't hug (Y/N) without telling him first!
(Y/N): You're jealous?
Arisa: I-Idiot! Of course I am!
Ran: I'm the one who invited him.
Poppin'Party was surprised when Ran told them.
Rimi: Eh? You did go to Hazawa Coffee Shop before, (Y/N)?
(Y/N): Yeah, I did. I was there to get something for breakfast, but I'd never thought to see Ran who look similar to HH-chan. So, here we are.
Ran: Didn't I told you that I'm not HH-chan you keep talking about?
(Y/N): I know, I know.
Ran: Anyway, we should get ready now. The concert will start soon.
(Y/N): Good luck, girls.
Kasumi: Thank you, (Y/N)-kun!
Tae: We'll go all out!
Rimi: Yeah!
Saaya: Please watch us, okay?
Arisa: We're going now.
(Y/N): Good luck, girls!
Then, I fit myself into the crowd watching the girls. After a while, they're finally took their place as Kasumi begin their show.
Kasumi: Good evening! We are...
Kasumi, Tae, Rimi, Saaya, Arisa: Poppin'Party!
Kasumi: On the guitar, Tae Hanazono!
Tae does her guitar solo.
Kasumi: On the bass, Rimi Ushigome!
Rimi with her bass solo.
Kasumi: On the drum, Saaya Yamabuki!
Saaya does her quick drum solo.
Kasumi: On the keyboard, Arisa Ichigaya!
Arisa does her keyboard solo.
Kasumi: And me, Kasumi Toyama, on the vocal and guitar!
The audience cheered for them.
Kasumi: Everyone, we would like to thank you for coming to our concert tonight!
She gazed at all of the audience on the crowds and her eyes stare at me while smiling before continuing.
Kasumi: Please listen to us! Initial!
Now, that's... what I called a banger. I'd never thought they can make something like this.
Kasumi: Thank you for listening! Now... we would like to give space to Afterglow!
Everyone cheered for them and I can only smile since I'm not quite energetic to do so. A while of waiting and Afterglow is finally on the stage.
Ran: We are... Afterglow. Ran Mitake, on the vocal and guitar.
Moca: Moca Aoba, on the guitar.
Himari: Himari Uehara, on the bass.
Tomoe: Tomoe Udagawa, on the drum.
Tsugumi: Tsugumi Hazawa, on the keyboard.
Ran: Now, to our song, Y.O.L.O!.
It sounds really energetic, not going to lie. Once they finished performing, everyone cheered for them while waving their glow sticks.
Ran: Thank you for coming to our concert tonight. Hope to see you again next time!
The concert has finally come to an end as I head backstage and the girls went to me.
Kasumi: (Y/N)-kun!
She hugged me again and Arisa seems to be jealous. After Kasumi, I went to hug the others for equality.
Arisa: You're an idiot.
(Y/N): I know, and I always am your idiot.
Arisa: D-Don't say things like that! Hmph!
I released myself from Arisa as I went to Afterglow.
Ran: How we do on the stage?
(Y/N): All I can say is you girls rock! You showed how energetic you are when performing without any anxiety and become yourself.
Ran: That's what we are, the same as always.
Kasumi: That's Ran-chan's quote.
(Y/N): "The same as always", huh?
Not going to lie, I really like the quote. I really wish things that I liked would remain the same.
Everyone went to dig in to the bread Saaya brought from her bakery as I took a croissant with chocolate fillings. As I'm enjoying the bread, I peek at Ran who's just staring at the floor like she found a gold coin. I went to her and ask.
(Y/N): What's wrong, Ran?
Ran: No. It's just that...
(Y/N): Still thinking about what Yukina said to you?
She look away from me and nodded slightly. So, I went to give her my advice.
(Y/N): Ran, listen here. I know that you and Yukina are rivals, but at the same time, I feel bad for you as well. So, try your best to find a boyfriend for yourself.
Ran: I am trying. But, for some reason I can't.
She stared at her leg in anxiety for thinking that she's way behind Yukina. So, I helped her to rebuild her confidence.
(Y/N): Listen to me, Ran. I believe that there'll be someone who would accept you just the way you are.
Ran: Easy for you to say.
(Y/N): Well, you just need to be a little bit... lenient to the guy you trusted. Then, you'll gain his trust.
She went silent and think about it.
(Y/N): To be honest with you, I got my own experience of having a girlfriend before she cheated on me.
Ran: Eh? You do?
(Y/N): Yeah, she broke up with me for a guy who has a sport car on his high school age unlike me. I guess this is what happens when you date a gold digger.
Ran: I feel bad hearing that.
(Y/N): It's fine.
Ran: So, you don't want me to be like your ex-girlfriend?
(Y/N): That's right. You can do it, Ran. I believe in you as a friend.
I gave Ran a reassuring smile as she calmed down slowly.
Ran: (Y/N)... thank you.
She hugged me and it makes me blushing.
Moca: Hehe~
I can see that Himari, Tomoe and Tsugumi got a jealous look on their face.
Arisa: Ahem. That's enough!
Arisa's yell can deafen my ears for real.
(Y/N): Whoops. Sorry. Let's go home now.
Kasumi, Ran: Yeah, we agree.
We packed up our things and head back home. Afterglow went seperate ways as me and Poppin'Party went home together for the night. They all give me a kiss before going into their home. I couldn't be more happy when they did it.
Ran's POV
Mitake's Residence
Saturday, Night
I was in my room just finished cleaning myself. I couldn't think about anything else other than (Y/N) who showed his genuine kindness.
Ran: Dang it. What is wrong with me?
He did praise me by giving me a reassuring smile, and I have to admit it's really something I've never expect him to do so. But, I enjoyed it.
Ran: Am I... jealous with Minato-san?
Flashback...
Yukina: I hate to say this to you, but... you're left behind with your band in terms of getting boyfriend, Mitake-san.
(Y/N): You can do it, Ran. I believe in you as a friend.
Flashback ends...
Ran: You really wanted to pick a fight against me, huh?
The only one who I can think of is (Y/N). I smirked as I knew what will I do next.
Ran: Just you wait, Minato-san. I won't lose to you.
(Y/N)'s POV
Residental Area
Monday, Afternoon
It's another sunny afternoon after school. I did text Roselia that I'll take them out on a date later.
(Y/N): Hold on. I didn't get to spend time with Pastel*Palettes. What am I doing?! I'm so dumb!
Ran: (Y/N)...
As I felt stupid for myself, Ran greeted me.
(Y/N): Hello, Ran.
Ran: May I have a chat with you?
(Y/N): Sure thing. I got all day today.
We went to a nearby park and I asked her.
(Y/N): So, what do you want to talk-
Suddenly, Ran went close and hug me.
Ran: I've been thinking about you all night that I couldn't sleep well.
(Y/N): Umm... you have insomnia, I guess.
Ran: You're wrong, (Y/N).
She stared at me with her eyes darkened.
(Y/N): Are you okay?
Ran: No, I'm not. I have a feelings for you.
(Y/N): F-Feelings?
Ran: I love you, (Y/N).
She confessed to me out of nowhere.
Ran: If Minato-san and the others can have you, then why can't I?
She said while gripping on my necktie. It seems that she already caught me and won't let me escape until I accept her.
(Y/N): I see. You're jealous with Yukina.
Ran: No shot. That's why I'm here.
Ran went to lean her face on me and I couldn't escape from her grip.
Ran: I'll make you as my boyfriend~
As our lips were an inch away from kissing...
???: Trying to catch up with us, huh?
Ran backed out from my face and we gazed at who said that. It was Roselia with Yukina, Sayo and Rinko who were concerned the most. I don't even know how do they know we're here and I don't want to bother.
Ran: Minato-san...
Sayo: What do you think you're doing with (Y/N)?
Rinko: I see that our boyfriend has caught your attention as well.
Ran: Minato-san is the one who tried to challenge me.
Lisa: Is this true?
Yukina: Yes, I did.
(Y/N): Umm... can you let me go now?
Ran: So, what if I am in love with (Y/N)?
I got ignored by her and it hurts my heart a little.
(Y/N): Ran, calm down. We can discuss this nicely.
Ran: I'll share him with you girls.
Sayo: Minato-san, what do you think?
Yukina took a moment to think whether or not to accept Ran into the harem. But then, she decided it.
Yukina: I don't mind. Let's see who (Y/N) will love even more at the end of the day.
Ran: You want it, you got it.
(Y/N): Welcome to the harem, Ran.
She leaned on my face and whispers.
Ran: Thank you, (Y/N)~
She kissed my lips as I was shocked for a moment and I just let her do what she wants. I closed my eyes and sink into the kiss.
Lisa: Oh my~ So cute.
We seperated and Ran asked me a favor.
Ran: Take me out on a date.
(Y/N): When?
Ran: Right now.
(Y/N): Umm... sorry, Roselia. But, can we... delay our date for today?
Yukina: We don't mind though.
(Y/N): Huh? Are you sure?
Yukina: Yes.
Sayo: We understand.
Lisa: Have fun with your date~
Ako: We'll be sure to have fun later!
Rinko: Don't go too far with (Y/N), Mitake-san.
Ran: I won't.
They all walk away leaving only both of us alone there.
Ran: So... want to go on a stall and order something?
(Y/N): Yeah, sure. My treat.
Ran: No need, I'll use my own money.
(Y/N): That's good to know you're not a gold digger.
Ran: Just shut up and let's go.
We started our date while holding hands. I don't know why do people call this as lewd, but I don't care.
We ordered some fish cakes on skewers and dig in. I can see that Ran's enjoying her food, so I decided to feed her.
(Y/N): Here, Ran. Say "ahh".
Ran: Ahh...
She took a bit from my food and enjoy it.
Ran: It's delicious, but I'll enjoy it even more when you feed me.
(Y/N): You're welcome.
I smiled at her as she blushed and smile back.
Third Person's POV
While (Y/N) and Ran were on a date together, the other band members of Afterglow see them.
Himari: Hey, it's Ran... and (Y/N)?
Moca: Let's peek on them.
They went closer and hide themselves from (Y/N) and Ran who were at a stall feeding each other.
Moca: I'm jealous with Ran~
Himari: Me too! They're so cute as a love couple!
(Y/N) and Ran have some fun time together and they got jealous of her.
Tomoe: Ran... why are you having (Y/N) all by yourself?!
Tsugumi: (Y/N)-san... I... want you to do the same to me.
Tomoe put her hand on Tsugumi's shoulder.
Tomoe: We'll be sure to make (Y/N) accept us as his girlfriend too!
Moca: Yeah!
Himari: I agree!
They all give Tsugumi the yandere stare as she agreed with them.
Tsugumi: Yeah!
(Y/N)'s POV
Residental Area
Monday, Evening
It's time for me and Ran to go back home. As Ran's boyfriend, I accompany her back to her house.
Ran: I have fun with you today. Thank you.
(Y/N): You're welcome. I'm just going to tell you this, Ran. I treated my girlfriends equally. So, you better keep that in mind.
Ran: I will.
I arrive at her house and it's a really big one. As Ran were about to open the front door, someone opened it from inside.
Mr. Mitake: There you are.
A middle age man came out of the house. I assume that's her father.
(Y/N): Umm... hello.
Mr. Mitake: Who are you?
(Y/N): I'm Ran's... uhh... new boyfriend. Nice to meet you, Mr. Mitake.
Mr. Mitake: Do you think you could just date my daughter without my permission?
(Y/N): I'm so-
Ran stopped me from apologizing to her father by raising her hands at me.
Ran: Don't be.
Mr. Mitake: What are you doing?
Ran: Father, can't you just leave us alone? (Y/N)'s a nice guy and he treated me way better than you do.
Mr. Mitake: What?
Ran: Why don't you give a better treatment to your own daughter?
A moment of silence between us and Mr. Mitake as he sighed and turn around.
Mr. Mitake: Do what you want. I hope that it won't bring any sort of regret to you.
He said with an unsatisfied expression before heading into the house.
(Y/N): I'll take good care of Ran, I promise.
Ran: Don't worry about my father. He has nothing to do with our relationship.
She kissed my cheek and smiled.
Ran: Good night, (Y/N). I love you and I'll see you later.
She then head inside before closing the door.
(Y/N): Good night, Ran. I love you too.
I leave Mitake Residence right after to my house for the night.
The next day...
Right now, I'm with Sayo, Ako and Rinko who are the best gaming trio as they were talking about Neo Fantasy Online.
(Y/N): Sorry girls, but I have absolutely zero idea about Neo Fantasy Online, so I have to act like I understand. If you talk about like the gacha game I played, then let me handle the conversation for you.
As they were busy talking, a familiar voice called us.
Tsugumi: (Y/N)-san! Sayo-san!
It was Tsugumi and she's with Moca, Himari and Tomoe as well.
Sayo: Hazawa-san...
(Y/N): Wait, you know Tsugumi?
Sayo: She's a part of Haneoka Girls Academy's student council with Hina.
(Y/N): I see.
Ako: Onee-chan!
Tomoe: Sorry Ako, but I need to talk to (Y/N).
Ako: About what?
The four of them approach me.
(Y/N): Yeah? What is it, girls?
Moca: We want to talk to you.
Himari: We saw Ran going out on a date with you.
Oh boy, how would I know that they were stalking us?
Tomoe: That's not fair.
Tsugumi: You can't have all the fun with Ran by yourself.
(Y/N): Umm... what's going on, if you don't mind me asking?
Moca, Himari, Tomoe, Tsugumi: We're jealous.
They all said in unison and caught me around them so that I won't escape easily.
Moca: You already date Ran~
Himari: So, we'll join in as well~
Tomoe: We'll be always together~
Tsugumi: Because we're childhood friends of her~
All of their pupils darkened staring at me. At this point, I might already knew what should I do next.
(Y/N): Umm... let Sayo and Rinko decide that for you.
They all gazed at the student council as for Ako... she just stood still.
Sayo: I can't believe it. Will you promise to share (Y/N) with us?
Moca: Of course~
Rinko: Very well. We accept you to be (Y/N)'s girlfriend.
Tsugumi: Really? Thank you!
Suddenly, Moca grabbed my cheek as she smirk.
Moca: I'll go first~
Moca put her lips on mine and it's really soft. After a few moments, she pulled away and giggled.
Moca: (Y/N)-kun's really cute~
(Y/N): You too, Moca.
Himari: Alright! My turn!
She kissed me and her lips are really soft. Unexpectedly, she used her hands to grip on my wrist and put my palm on her... chest.
Himari: Go ahead and fondle them as much as you want~
I put my hands away because I have my own standards.
(Y/N): Sorry, but control yourself.
Himari: I can't promise you that~
Tomoe: My turn.
She kissed me while putting her hands on my chin and I enjoyed it.
Tomoe: Hope you won't mind someone taller than you.
(Y/N): I mean, there's Kaoru, so I'm not complaining.
Tomoe: Oh, that fleeting prince.
Tsugumi: M-My turn.
She went soft on me by just kissing me on the lips with her eyes closed.
(Y/N): Yours are soft, Tsugumi.
Tsugumi: Th-Thank you, (Y/N)-san. I don't want you to kiss anyone we don't know.
She blushed and hid her face into her hands from the embarrassment she got.
(Y/N): You're too late to tell me that, but okay.
I headpat all of them and they're happy with it.
Rinko: So, are you girls going on a date with (Y/N) as well as Mitake-san?
Moca: That's right~
Himari: We would like that!
Tomoe: Don't worry, Shirokane-san!
Tsugumi: We'll make sure there's no other unknown girls touch him~
They sound so friendly, yet threatening at the same time.
(Y/N): I didn't get to say a thing in this?
Moca, Himari, Tomoe, Tsugumi: No!
So, I ended up having to bring them on a date with Ako as well since Tomoe wants to invite her. She eventually agreed as Sayo and Rinko excuse themselves from us.
Another 5 band girls has been added into the harem, making me now having 26 yandere girlfriends. Looks like I need to set up a date for Afterglow later.
Third Person's POV
As (Y/N) got surrounded by Afterglow, a certain someone who hated him was peeking from somewhere not too far and not too near them. It's Kazuraba who saw and overheard everything.
Kazuraba: Tch, that (Y/N)... I won't let you have a beautiful harem for long! I'll be sure to nab all of them away from you! Even the student council!
He then walks away in envy thinking of how to steal (Y/N)'s girlfriends.
(To be continued...)
(Haneoka Girls High School's Harem Arc: Complete!)
