I am that male friend in the harem story

"Welcome back." 

"..." 

While Satoshi wanted to answer Kaho back, he couldn't since when he arrived at her home, he was welcomed by her, who wore a shrine maiden outfit. 

Unlike her usual plain uniform and braided hairstyle, when she wore her shrine maiden outfit, despite not showing many parts of her flesh, it had a certain eroticism that couldn't be described. 

Her slender body was well hidden behind the white kosode and red hakama, yet even so was the silhouette of her body, especially the womanly quality, whether it was her chest or her long legs. 

Still, what attracted him the most was how she tied her hair in a ponytail with a red ribbon that gave her a certain sacredness suited well for the title of the servant of the deity, yet despite all of that, the way at her white nape was shown as she slightly bowed down and how a slight opening between her collars, making him able to see her bountiful chest that was hidden inside a simple white bra... was just too erotic. 

"Welcome back~!" 

Still hearing those words, Satoshi quickly woke up as he saw Kaho's playful smile, who was happy by his reaction, which made him feel speechless. 

"I am back." 

"So, what do you think?" 

After hearing his answer, Kaho twirled as the lower hem of her hakama followed her movement, like a ribbon moved by the best gymnast, beautiful and mesmerizing that Satoshi couldn't look away from her lithe and graceful feet that were gently wrapped in white socks. 

"...don't tempt me, okay? If I kiss you now, won't I be cursed by the deity on your land?" 

"It is too late! Don't you remember what you did to me yesterday?" 

"..." Satoshi. 

Regardless, Kaho laughed and moved to him happily. 

"I got the room." 

"Really?" 

"Yes, it is easy." 

Still, when Satoshi thought that Kaho was happy that they got a good room for the Fortune Telling Society, her nose smelled an unfamiliar scent within his body. "Go take a bath first. You stink!" 

However, considering Satoshi's attitude and how he didn't seem to have an interest in anyone except her, Kaho thought that it was because he might be sitting next to a female member of the Executive Committee during the meeting, and those members weren't as beautiful as her, so she knew that they didn't posses a threat, but she would be lying if she didn't feel unhappy, so she wanted him to take a bath and wash away all of the unfamiliar scent within his body. 

"...I didn't bring any clothes." 

"It's fine. You can borrow from my father. I will wash yours." 

"...." 

"Anyway, hurry up! Go and take a bath, then have dinner together." 

"...." 

As he was being pushed, Satoshi couldn't help but feel strange, wondering whether this was okay. 

How long had it been? 

Taking a bath at his girlfriend's house when her parents weren't present. 

If Kaho's sick father knew what his daughter did, Satoshi was sure that her father would curse him to death. 

'But what if it's because of Irisu's scent?' 

Usually, Satoshi wouldn't think that way, but as he had faced many dangers in his previous life, he couldn't help but think so, and at the same time, he had to say, peace had dulled his instinct. 

In the past, no matter what the situation was, he wouldn't lose his calm and always faced all of them calmly as he tried to solve all of his problems safely.

Yet, at this moment, he realized that he was trapped. 

Why did he think so? 

It was because he had to enter the bath. 

By taking a bath, it meant that he would be fully naked, without anything or even a place to escape, as only one door existed. 

If anything, it was fortunate that the window was quite large, he had to say, and Kaho's family was so wealthy that her family's bathroom was immense, but it was located quite high, which made it almost impossible to escape. 

"What's wrong? Hurry up and get naked so I can wash your uniform." 

Watching Satoshi, who seemed to be in a daze as he watched her bathroom, Kaho couldn't help but urge him. 

"....." 

Still, just in case, Satoshi sighed in relief that he didn't see any sharp tools within the bathroom, but, looking at Kaho, who looked at him while inside the bathroom, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to see me get all naked?" 

"..." Kaho. 

Her answer was simple: to throw a towel at his face! 

"Just put your uniform there when you have removed your clothes." 

After she said so, she closed the bathroom door, leaving Satoshi alone as he pulled the towel away from his face, thinking that his girlfriend was cute. Still, without her, he removed his clothes with ease before he whistled as he entered the bathroom. 

Meanwhile, Kaho didn't leave immediately but stood at the entrance of the bathroom with her heart beating so fast, thinking of her boyfriend, who was inside, naked as he washed his body. 

As she thought so, she couldn't help but recall the kiss, which they had shared last night. 

His lips were still vivid, pressing deeply as his tongue entered her insides, connecting against hers as they sucked each other's saliva, creating a string of lewdness between their lips and burning their desire even hotter. 

Her scorching body was so uncomfortable, and it also made her have an impulse, especially when she saw how quiet and large her house was.

In this empty house, she was alone, and... because of that, she wanted him by her side. 

Yet, Satoshi just enjoyed his bath nicely, feeling refreshed and enjoying every moment as he washed his body, as if the one that was cleaned up was his stress. 

The act of taking a bath was a good thing, after all, as it erased all of the worries and only made one focus on the act of washing one's body.

Then, when everything was cleaned up, adding the fact that he even dipped and stayed within the bathtub filled with warm water was simply a diabolical feeling. It felt as if his soul and body were melted, and he became one with the water, making him too lazy to go out, especially when he thought about what he had done previously. 

Satoshi thought that he would be living peacefully, but it seemed impossible. 

If there was no trouble, then this story wouldn't be interesting, so it had to make a problem for him, which made him curse the author. 

Still, when Satoshi thought of Kaho's calm face, Irisu's cold face, or Chitanda's curious face turned lewd and addicted by the sensation that they had never felt before, it... gave him a shiver of immoral arousal as he could see his erection that appeared prominent on his thin and short body, causing him to sigh inwardly as the warm water enhanced his libido instead of calming it down. 

Yet, as he thought to wash his body with cold water to subdue the evil fire within his body, the door of the bathroom was opened and the naked figure of his girlfriend was presented before his eyes. 

"You take so long to take a bath, so let's take a bath together." 

As Kaho said, she closed the door of the bathroom, leaving her and Satoshi alone in the bathroom together. 

"...." Satoshi.
