I am that male friend in the harem story-Chapter 259: Trip!
Chapter 259 - Trip!
As his relationship with Chitanda developed, naturally, Kaho, Irisu, and Ibara wouldn't let him go, but he had to admit this was tough.
Unlike in the past when his life was as Ishigami, he could rely on his parents and his older brother, who were dependable, in this life, as Satoshi, his family wasn't that well-off, and their skills were just so-so.
Fortunately, many abilities that he gained in the past, especially "Error," an ability that he gained from Maki Shijo, made him and his followers able to do everything smoothly without him being afraid of them making a mistake.
In business, this ability is useful, so no errors can be made, but strangely enough, it is also useful in many areas, such as a study group or just playing a simple sport that needs many people, such as football or basketball.
With him as the lead, everything was so smooth that he was able to open his own business.
"So, you will open a business?"
In the room of the Fortune Teller Society, the five of them gathered as they talked about his plan to make a business.
"Yes."
"What kind?"
"Fermented goods."
"...fermented goods?"
"I will start with vegetables first, though."
Yes, Satoshi planned to make a store to sell fermented vegetables.
Fermentation is popular in this country, and most of the foods in this country are made by this process, so everyone is familiar with it.
Moreover, with his "Delicious" skill, all the foods produced by him, or anything related to him, would become twice as delicious.
Store, products, and also permission for business were ready, and what was left was just to open, but Satoshi wasn't in a hurry, as he wanted to decorate his store first.
"His vegetables, especially eggplant, are delicious," Kaho nodded.
"...." Everyone.
"...it isn't that kind of vegetable." Satoshi was speechless.
"But your cooking skills are good." Irisu, who had tasted Satoshi's cooking, also understood his talent in this area, so she said nothing, especially when he didn't lack money. It was good that he wanted to make a business instead of being extravagant and buying many luxuries.
"Did you bring your fermented vegetables, Satoshi? Can I taste it?" Chitanda asked, but her eyes moved in the wrong direction.
"I have them with me. Do you want to taste them?"
"Yes!" 4x
No one rejected his offer, and all of them tasted his fermented vegetables.
"Oh, it's so red."
"It's kimchi, after all."
While kimchi didn't originate in this country, it is popular and easy to make, so he didn't hesitate to make one for variations for his shop.
So, after taking the disposable chopsticks, all of them started to taste the kimchi, which Satoshi had made with various vegetables.
The crunchy sound of the vegetables sounded as they chewed, which showed that despite being fermented, they hadn't lost their texture, but while the texture was good, what about the taste?
"What do you think?"
No one talked and just picked up another before they finished everything.
"...." Satoshi.
"Don't you have more?"
"No."
"...." Everyone.
Still—
"It's delicious."
While they felt weird about Satoshi, who wanted to make a fermented goods store, after they tasted his kimchi, they had to admit that his chances of succeeding were high!
"Does it make money?" Irisu asked curiously.
Nevertheless, if one makes a business for money, would their business make money?
"Miso, shoyu, natto, mirin, umeboshi, fermented vegetables, etc." Satoshi looked at them and asked, "If I sell all of them, do you think I won't make any money?"
"..." Everyone.
More importantly, if he reached an appropriate age, he would dabble in alcohol and many other things, such as cheese, yogurt, gochujang, sour cream, and kefir. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Frankly, his family was surprised by his decision, but as this business didn't take much money, and all of them had tasted the taste of his fermented vegetables, everything was all good.
Or, rather, even if his business wasn't successful, he could use the store as a place to launder his money, like those yakuza groups or politicians who made money through dirty means, then made them legal by putting them inside their stores.
"When are you going to open your business?"
"Of course, after the summer." Satoshi looked at all of them and said, "We're going on a trip during the summer, right? Or, you don't want to?"
"We want to!" 4x
All of them had planned to go on a trip during the summer break, and that was why all of them gathered, talking about where they should go. This was also the reason why they gathered in the Fortune Telling Society instead of the Classic Club, since it was impossible for them to bring Oreki.
All of them had become his women, and after their act in Chitanda's house, they had no restraints anymore, so even if they were together, it didn't matter.
Still, when all of them gathered, it became so tiny.
Ibara, Irisu, Chitanda, and Kaho might be okay, but due to the reward that he gained from Chitanda previously, he had to say that this room became quite small for him; yet, despite the discomfort, he loved his reward well as it gave him a physical ability and mind similar to a certain superhero.
"But is there a place you want to visit, Fuku-chan?" Ibara asked, wondering where Satoshi wanted to go.
"Me? If you want, we can even go overseas, you know?"
With the advancement of technology, they could go everywhere with ease, and the passport of this country was quite powerful, so Satoshi didn't mind bringing them to various places, especially when they were still young.
"Overseas?!" Chitanda's eyes became bright as she asked, "Where?"
"Er... not too far, so probably either Hong Kong, Taiwan, or China."
If Satoshi had to say, those were the perfect countries for them if they wanted to take an overseas trip.
"Thailand is also good."
"Let's not go too far."
"Yes, let's just stay domestic."
"But, where?"
During summer vacation, they had so many days for holiday, so their choice was quite wide as they could choose many places if it was domestic.
As for money, no one lacked it, whether it was Satoshi, Chitanda, Kaho, Irisu, or even Ibara.
Satoshi even planned to pay for this trip since in the future, if they became his wife, then wasn't it his responsibility to take care of them?
So, he didn't hesitate to take out money for them.
"Summer is hot, so isn't it better to go to a cold place?"
"Cold? Like Northern Europe?"
"Let's stop mentioning overseas, okay? Moreover, if it's a cool place, isn't there a nearby place?"
"You mean Hokkaido?"
"Yes! Let's go to Hokkaido!"
"Hokkaido, huh?"
Satoshi thought for a moment and felt that it wasn't a bad idea to go to Hokkaido. It was located in the north, and compared to other places, it had a cold temperature in the summer.
The summer in this country was horrible, after all; it was freaking hot.
"So, Hokkaido?"
"Yes!" 4x
All of them had made up their minds, and Satoshi also started his preparation. Naturally, he could see their eyes that exuded their clear desire that told him that they would suck him dry like a succubus, but he was confident that he could make all of them happy!
Still, only Oreki was a bit lonely since he was left behind.
