Ichinose Honami: "I'm the Official Girlfriend, After All"

Is this really the most perfect approach for everyone?

As Hashiba Hikaru developed an inseparable connection with the three girls, many questions arose in his mind. After all, they were living, breathing people, not just game girls whose CGs could be unlocked simply by increasing their affection.

Respecting everyone's ideas and striving for the most perfect result is what Hashiba Hikaru cares about most right now.

After a while, the bathroom door opened, and a slender girl wrapped in a bath towel came out. A blush floated on her delicate and charming face, making her look incredibly beautiful.

"Hikari, I'm done washing."

"Um."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled and handed the girl her clean undergarments. After all, they had this kind of relationship, so this kind of thing didn't seem strange to him at all.

"Next, it's Hikaru's turn to take a shower."

"Certainly."

After Hashiba Hikaru entered the bathroom, Ichinose Honami's expression immediately became very complicated. She looked at the soft sofa, on which was her boyfriend's phone. The girl naturally knew the password; it was her birthday.

Throughout her long relationship with Hashiba Hikaru, Ichinose Honami has never proactively checked her phone, not even when her younger brother entrusted it to her for safekeeping.

But for some reason, the pink-haired girl kept thinking about this while taking a shower today, as if she were possessed.

As Hashiba Hikaru's official girlfriend who had long decided to be with him forever, it would be impossible for her not to care if her boyfriend got close to other girls. Ichinose Honami was just trying her best to restrain herself from thinking about these things.

"Can I really see... the phone of light?"

Ichinose Honami, wearing slippers, walked step by step to the sofa. Her gaze was fixed on the phone in front of her. With a simple unlock, she could see her boyfriend's chat history with other people.

Who sent messages to Hashiba Hikaru, what they said, and when they were sent—all this information will become crystal clear.

The pink-haired girl boasted about her excellent memory, claiming she could memorize everything in just a few minutes.

But, do we really need to watch it?

The girl, wrapped in a bath towel, stood silently in front of the sofa, caught in a dilemma.

The photo provided by Shiranami Chihiro is almost certainly of Sakura, the Sakura from Class D of the First Year. The fact that she's walking hand-in-hand with Hashiba Hikaru suggests that they're definitely not just photography enthusiasts.

As long as the chat history can be viewed, solid evidence can be obtained.

However, even if she had seen the other person's chat history, which would have completely crossed the line of privacy, Ichinose Honami did not believe that this was something that had to be done in a normal relationship, and it even made her feel a little scared.

[Would he be angry if Hikaru found out?]

[If he gets angry, what should I do? What will he do?]

Should we pretend we didn't see it?

Although Hashiba Hikaru rarely showed any displeasure, countless images began to flash through the pink-haired girl's mind.

Having been through so much together, it's incredibly difficult to become an officially recognized couple across the entire school, Ichinose Honami really doesn't want to take that gamble.

Countless thoughts and possibilities intertwined, leaving Ichinose Honami unable to make a choice. She didn't know whether she should check Hashiba Hikaru's phone, and the conflicting emotions in her heart kept washing over her, making the girl feel somewhat tormented.

"Honami? What's wrong?"

Just as the girl was struggling with her decision, Hashiba Hikaru top. When he saw the girl rubbing her head, he immediately rushed over and hugged her.

"Guang? Are you... done washing?"

Feeling the familiar, warm embrace, Ichinose Honami looked somewhat flustered. She quickly looked at the sofa and found the phone lying there untouched, showing no signs of being moved.

"Yes, what are you doing standing here, Honami? Be careful not to catch a cold. Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"

Hashiba Hikaru wrapped her arms around the girl's slender waist, her tone urgent. "Do you want your hair to dry naturally? Honestly."

Hearing the boy's complaining tone, Ichinose Honami's lips unconsciously curled up. She felt that her previous struggles and distress had been released in an instant, and she quickly felt much more relaxed.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

Hashiba Hikaru stroked the girl's jade-like skin. It was December, and even with heating in the room, it was easy to catch a cold if you didn't change your clothes after taking a shower.

"No, what you say naturally makes sense."

"Hmph, then you'd better hurry up and get dressed."

"There's one more thing to do before we get dressed."

"What's up?"

Hashiba Hikaru frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"This is it..."

A seductive smile appeared on the pink-haired girl's face. Then, she suddenly reached out and untied the towel behind her back, revealing the most beautiful scenery in the world to her boyfriend.

"What should light do at this time?"

"..."

Chapter 388 Ichinose Honami: Anyway, I'm the real girlfriend.

The lonely moon hung high in the sky. In the chilly December night, the air was quite cold, but in a certain room of the student dormitory, the warm atmosphere never stopped until the clock struck the last time for the day, and only then did the sweet feeling slowly subside.

Hashiba Hikaru, with her arm around Ichinose Honami's waist, leaned against the pillow. His expression was subtle, because the girl's initiative today was a bit beyond his expectations, completely different from usual. But today wasn't a special day, which puzzled the boy.

"Hikari, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."

Ichinose Honami rested her head on the other's chest, her voice a little hoarse. A blush still lingered on her face, but the smile on her lips never faded.

"What is it?"

Are you and Sakura really just ordinary photography enthusiasts?

When she asked the question, the pink-haired girl spoke softly, without making eye contact with Hashiba Hikaru, as if it were a casual question.

"Well..."

Hashiba Hikaru's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly came up with a solution, answering her question directly with another question.

Why would Honami ask that?

"I'm very interested. I heard that Sakura is a rather shy person, but I didn't expect her to become friends with Hikaru. It's hard not to be curious about this situation."

The girl's gentle voice gradually calmed Hashiba Hikaru's heart.

"Because a lot of things happened in between, otherwise it would have been difficult for Sakura and me to become friends."

"Can you just tell me about these things?"

"Hmm..."

Hashiba Hikaru hesitated for a moment.

"Never mind, I was just asking casually."

Just as Hashiba Hikaru hesitated, Ichinose Honami spoke up instead, saying, "Didn't I just say that Hikari is free to make friends with whomever she wants? There's no need for her to explain everything to me."

"..."

"Why?"

Hashiba Hikaru felt the girl in his arms grasp his large hand, and his expression was somewhat complicated. "If Honami wants to know, I... can tell you."

"No need, I really don't want to know."

"Oh well."

"However, I hope that light can answer my other question."

Ichinose Honami suddenly straightened up, and this time, her gaze was fixed directly into Hashiba Hikaru's eyes.

"What's the problem?"

"Is it true that Guang said he would marry me in the future?"

It's true.

This is the absolute truth, the very first thought in Hashiba Hikaru's mind.

"After getting married, do you just want a few children?"

"Hmm... two would be best, I prefer daughters."

Hashiba Hikaru.

"That's good, I've finished asking my questions for today."

After Ichinose Honami finished speaking, she seemed truly satisfied and buried her face in Hashiba Hikaru's chest again.

"Is that all?"

"Um."

Goodnight, Honami.

Hashiba Hikaru gently kissed her forehead, then slowly closed her eyes.

Meanwhile, Ichinose Honami, who was lying on top of Hashiba Hikaru, had long since calmed down. She suddenly remembered a dialogue she had read in a book, which perfectly described her current situation.

"He's really outstanding, he's surrounded by lots of girls, and he's often rumored to be dating them."

"And what about you? Have you ever had any rumors with anyone?"

"No."

"But you're his official girlfriend, aren't you? And you'll eventually become his wife."

"But..."

"Think about it, he's very popular outside, and he's rumored to be dating all sorts of beautiful girls, but even if the rumors are flying everywhere, he'll still only sleep with you, have children with you, and only you are qualified to hug his neck and greet the sun every day."

"Wouldn't it be fun if someone called your house and you could answer the phone openly and ask if they were looking for your husband?"

"Yes."

Looking up at the sleeping Hashiba Hikaru, Ichinose Honami smiled gently. She hadn't sensed any hesitation from him when she asked her questions; all his answers were instinctive reactions, which showed that he still cared about her very much.

Isn't that enough?

I am the official girlfriend, and the future Mrs. Hashiba.

That's enough.

Resting her head on Hashiba Hikaru's chest again, the pink-haired girl closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Today, you should have a sweet dream.

--

One day after their date ended, Hashiba Hikaru was working in the Student Council office.

He had just received a text message from Horikita Suzune; the girl was going to submit the latest version of her script to the Drama Club today and hoped he could accompany her.

After replying, the boy tidied up the files on his desk, got up, and left the Club Room.

But at that moment, he saw a rather unexpected person in the Student Council corridor: Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

"Ayanokoji? Is there something you need from the Student Council?"

Hashiba Hikaru's mind immediately recalled the place called the "White Room" that Sakayanagi had mentioned to her before. If she wasn't mistaken, this Ayanokoji had come from there.

"Good afternoon, Classmate Hashiba. I'm here at the Student Council on some business."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's expression was calm. His observational skills far surpassed those of his peers, so after only a brief glance at the other person's face, he noticed something.

[Classmate Hashiba hasn't been sleeping well lately. Is it because he's been studying hard every night?]

"You're here to handle some business at the Student Council? How about I come in with you?"

Hashiba Hikaru decided to gather some information and took the initiative to extend an invitation.

"It's okay, I can manage on my own."

Ayanokoji shook his head. Although he thought Hashiba Hikaru a potential partner, she was still under his observation period, so it wasn't a good time to make contact.

"I'm the Vice President, and it's my duty to help my classmates. Let me go in with you."

Hashiba Hikaru walked forward with a smile, but Ayanokoji dodged his attempt to put his arm around her shoulder.

"My business will be finished soon. You must have more important tasks to attend to, Classmate Hashiba? You can go ahead and take care of them."

"Things always need to be dealt with one at a time. I think Ayanokoji's matter is also very important, so I've decided to help you with it first."
