Episode 45 – Karaoke Shouldn’t Be a Disaster…..

For some reason, I was at karaoke.

Of course with Genpaku and…….no wait, with the 4 most beautiful girls in class who hated me (some of them).

After the charade with Genshiro and the others, I was glared at by my childhood friend’s brothers, who said, [Take care of my little sister.] I had no idea what he was talking about, it was fine until I eventually responded with [‘Kay….] effortlessly. I was surprised to see my childhood friend blush a little when I replied.

Then, Genpaku suggested that we go to karaoke, and I politely declined.

I politely declined, because I was disgusted by the fact that Genpaku’s actions this time was not something to be praised in under any circumstances, and I was disgusted by the fact that the girls had to accompany me with such a sense of distrust.

Genpaku who heard those words was shocked and said [Ehh~! ] But he deserved it. I asked him to reflect on his actions today and go home.

Then I asked the girls if I could accompany them on the way to the station to take them home.

The girls accepted my words then left Genpaku and the others.

After parting from Genpaku and the others, I apologized to the girls for scaring them due to my own careless behavior.

As a matter of course, this was Genpaku’s own decision, so I was not at fault, but I had seen how scared they were, so I had no choice but to apologize.

My step sister didn’t respond to my words, and kept looking down, and Idol san said, [Well, it can’t be helped.] and forgave me. My childhood friend said [Thank you for protecting me.] happily, but only the gyaru was different.

“I still can’t forgive yet ! ! You have to do something as an apology ! !”

And shouted loudly.

Of course I would do what I could, but it’s gyaru who hates me, so I was a little afraid that she might make some unreasonable demands.

However, she told me that she wanted to go out to karaoke, which was ruined because of Genpaku, and I had to send her home.

……So that’s what she meant.

I was relieved inside, but then something unexpected happened.

As an apology, not only my childhood friend, but also my step sister and  idol-sama leaned forward and boarded.

It would have been a small price to pay if the fear they felt could be lifted by my taking them to karaoke, but I agreed, and for some reason they all seemed happy about it.

And to this day, I regretted accepting it so easily.

I had never spent time with a woman, let alone gone to karaoke with them. Of course, I had no imaginary girlfriend, nor could I escort one.

I’m going to karaoke with four beautiful girls that all the boys in the world would envy and stared at me with murderous intent if they heard about it.

……What kind of light novel is this? Anyone would think so if this was the case.

But these girls hated me. For me, it was hell.

And then, even at the karaoke reception, I felt the male clerk’s gaze stabbed me, so after I finished the reception, I entered the karaoke room.

I let the women enter the room first in a room that can accommodate five people, and I’m waiting to sit in a single seat near the exit.

My step sister, the gyaru, and my childhood friend entered the room in order……but my childhood friend pulled my arm and I sat down with my childhood friend on a two-person sofa.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the room changed.

My step sister who had a murderous look on her face, the gyaru who had a puffy face as if she was jealous, and the Idol sama who failed to enter the room after seeing my childhood friend’s behavior were all flustered, but she seemed to have made up her mind. When she entered the room with a serious expression, she slipped into her seat next to me.

“Eh?”
“Ahh ! !”

“Wai- ! !”

“Wha- ! !”

Everyone in the room let out a silly voice at the Idol sama’s wild behavior.

That’s no wonder, no matter how thin they are, three people sit on the two-seater sofa with me in between. The sense of distance between us  naturally becomes closer.

…..Dense, dense. Please refrain from being dense ! !

I was confused by Idol sama behavior who was sticking close to me, and remembered a line from a drama I had recently seen that depicted people panicking over a new type of virus from China.

“R-reizei san, too close…. Please move aside a little bit….”

Even though I was dizzy by the sweet smell from Idol sama, I asked her to move, but she seemed to be in a good mood and came closer to me.

“Hey, what do you think you’re doing? Ayano ! !”

It was my childhood friend who was the first to speak out against the Idol sama’s behavior.

“Eh? What do you mean, I was scared today too, so I thought I’d stay by Kaizei kun’s side. …….”

While her expression turned bright red, my childhood friend also pulled herself closer in the same way, as if to counter  Idol sama’s reckless excuses.

I feel like I’m going to fall down every time I hit  they’re side chest  with my elbows.

My brain had already short-circuited, and I was left at the mercy of the sensations. 

…What is this, why is this happening?

As I rolled my eyes and enjoyed hell like heaven, my step sister stared at me with a sharp, piercing gaze, and the gyaru looked at me with eyes that seemed to have lost their spark.

What’s this, some kind of déjà vu……

“Both of you, leave it there. Rikku seems to have reached his limit…….”

Because of the horror I felt when I saw the gal holding the denmoku as if she was about to crush it, I didn’t notice that she was calling me by my game name.

And when my step sister heard that name, she looked at the gyaru with a complicated expression.

Now, a karaoke called a feast of hell was about to begin.
