What the heck came over me! Why did you go and accepted Michi-san’s challenge to go prove your “love” towards Haruka-Senpai! Ugh… how would you even explain this to her if she somehow finds out about this arrangement of taking her cousin out on a few dates just to prove your love to her!
What nonsense have I gotten my butt into! There's definitely no getting out of this situation but hope everything works out.
“Well then shall we exchange Line Numbers?” Michi-san stood Infront of us and took her phone out preparing to exchange line Numbers.
“Umm… sure… let's do that…” I opened my phone and scanned her code, as our line accounts were now mutuals.
“Well then, Contact me in a few days, so I can properly test your “love” for Haruka Onee-san.” Michi-san bluntly said as she walked back inside the Cocina.
Jeez… Yuuki Rin what the hell have you gotten yourself into!? Taking your crush’s younger cousin out on a date!?
I planted my face on the table completely defeated.
After a few minutes I lifted my head up, trying to process what sick arrangement have I gotten myself into.
“Are you alright?” Senko asked while Patting the back of my head.
“I'm fine…” I wasn't fine at all.
“You're not fine.” Johnny Crossed his arms.
“I just gotta survive like 3 to 5 dates, I doubt it would be that hard.”
“DAMN IT! YUUKI SCORED BOTH THE CAMPUS QUEEN AND HER PRINCESS COUSIN!!!” Fumiko angrily whined. “Just… JUST WHAT DOES THIS HAREM HAVING BASTARD HAS THAT I DON'T.”
“You know… I said something to him back when we played Kyoryu online a few days ago…” Toda just laughed sadly at Fumiko's outburst of drama.
“Why am I friends with you two!? You keep throwing those baseless claims at me for the last hour and while playing the game!?” I tried to scold both Fumiko and Toda but Senko pulled me back from picking a fight.
“So what's your plan now? Surviving the dates I mean.” Johnny calmly asked and offered be a mug of beer, that I just accepted.
“I should just drink my sorrows away…” I took a small sip from the beer. “How does one even prove their love to someone when their trying to prove it to their younger cousin?”

“SHE’S TRYING TO SCORE FREE MEALS OUT OF OUR POOR YUUKI!” Fumiko made another outburst before drinking more beer.
I doubt Haruka-Senpai’s cousin would be trying to score free meals out of me considering their family is quite wealthy compared to others.
“Okay can someone shut him up-” Senko asked before Johnny smacked the back of Fumiko's head knocking him out cold.
“So are you ready to plan out these “dates” or you're gonna try asking her to take it back?” Johnny asked as she took a sip from his cheap booze.
“I have a vague idea how to treat it but it's hard… she looks exactly like Haruka-senpai…”
“And you're afraid you might end up falling for her?” Senko kicked my foot.
“No, That's not it, Nobody is gonna shake my resolve, I have feelings for Haruka-Senpai, and I'm not gonna betray those feelings over some stupid challenge.”
“Good, keep following your guts… unlike that snake that said she loved me!”
“Well what's your plan now?” Toda asked curiously while petting the knocked out Fumiko's head.
“I think Im… I'm gonna make a phone call when I get home.”
“Is it Hikari-san?” Toda snapped his fingers.
“Correct.”
“Yuuki, who's this Hikari-san?” Senko crossed his arms.
Toda and I brought Senko up to speed with what happened when Kana, Hikari-san, Toda and I played Kyoryu online together.
“I see… you're already betraying Haruka-Senpai with another woma- agghh! What’d you do that for!?” Senko tried to joke but Johnny elbowed his gut.
“At least be helpful to your friend's dilemma that you started.” Johnny sipped a glass of Cheap booze.
Thank you Johnny-san! Please keep beating them up when they step out of line!
“Anyway, do you guys have any date ideas? I just want to get this over with…” I poked my fingers together, I truly didn't knew what to do after getting myself involved with.
“You could try window-shopping with Michi-san.” Toda suggested.
“I don't think that will do?”
“Why's that?”
“Simple its because I just went on one wi- ignore what I just said.”
“Nope.” Johnny And Toda sharply responded.
“He meant to say he went on an outing with my Sister and the “Hikari-san "the other day.” Senko joked while crossing his arms pridefully.
Sigh… I should start bringing a zipper with me to make sure Senko does not bring up my personal life whatsoever… then again that might be illegal. “Anyway… Do you guys even have any clue on how I can survive this whole ordeal?” I scratched the back of my head while asking for help.
“Look buddy, the Best advice I can give you is to just try and survive the “Few Dates” You agreed to and treat this ordeal that Senko-san got you into as a trial run before you can try to date your actual crush, Haruka-san.” Johnny snapped his finger sharply to explain his point.
“Your point being?”
“Alright think about it like this, You have feelings for Haruka-san right? Right. And this Michi girl just so happens to look exactly like this Haruka-san and just so happens to be her cousin you follow?”
“Yeah.”
“So think of it like this, go treat Michi exactly how you would treat Haruka-san, pretend you're with Haruka-san during these “dates” so during the dates not only are you proving to Micho that your love for her cousin is real, you're also buttering her her up so much that it should make her opinion of you dating Haruka-san not a bad idea, because if Yuuki-san is willing to treat Haruka-san’s cousin with grace and care, then there's likely he would just treat his actual beloved with even more love and grave!” Johnny explained.
“I can see what you're trying to tell me, this circumstance Senko got me into could be used to build up my confidence so when I eventually do try to ask Haruka-senpai out, I wouldn't chicken out like Senko did with Ruri-san last year. But at the same time, Treating Michi-san as just a practice try on Haruka-senpai doesn't feel right to me...” I responded.
“You're overthinking this, everyone is benefiting in this situation, You get to be prepared for Haruka-san, Michi is getting treated like a princess and if she gossips to Haruka-san, then Haruka-san's opinon of Yuuki-san will increase more than tenfold! The other advice I have is to just try not to make Michi fall in love with you, otherwise you're setting yourself up for failure.” Johnny adviced.
“I doubt I'm her type anyway, plus she blatantly knows that I have feelings for her cousin she would just be on a losing battle.” I explained.
“Correct, but the biggest hurdle here is if YOU suddenly fall for Michi which would cause trouble not only for yourself, but also for Haruka-san and also Our friend here.” Johnny poked the knocked out Fumiko with a fork.
“I'm not gonna fall for Michi-san, Haruka-san is simply too special to just be thrown aside like that… I promise you after the dates are over… I… I'll… Ill ask Haruka-senpai out!” I stood up at the table.
“Well then, your friends will support you along the way.” Johnny clapped followed by Senko and Toda.
“Zzz… Yuuki you harem having bastard… Zzz…” Fumiko snored.
