I am that male friend in the harem story 14 Detective Chika is inexperienced in love (Patreon)

It was said the most stable shape was a triangle, so when Ishigami became the lead and Shirogane and Kaguya followed him, everything went clear, but when Chika entered, everything was in chaos. 

The square was nice, but this square was uncontrollable, and no one knew what kind of effect this one point would have on the three. 

Yet, like a true hero, Ishigami didn't hesitate. He stepped forward bravely, ready to face the chaotic element that threatened to disrupt their stability, all to protect his two seniors. 

At that moment, Shirogane and Kaguya wanted to cry, as they could see Isahigami's determination to sacrifice himself for the two. 

While Ishigami faced Chika, he didn't forget the two. 

Feeling his eyes on them, Shirogane and Kaguya nodded, knowing what to do, so when Chika's attention was on Ishigami, the two slipped away directly and went out from the student council room. 

Still—

"Sh-Shinomiya!" 

"Ye-Yes, Kaichou!" 

"S-See you this weekend..." 

"Y-Yes!" 

The two blushed as they anticipated their date this weekend. 

Oh, wrong, they just wanted to help their cute junior, who was nervous about his dating plan! 

Still, as they parted ways, Kaguya wondered why she wasn't as happy as she thought to be. 

On the other hand, as Ishigami sacrificed himself, he had to face this silly devil who loved to toy with others. 

"I see! I see! It's you, Ishigami! But you don't have to worry!" 

Chika appeared as a hero who came to help those who were in need. "Since Detective Chika is here, everything is going to be alright!" 

"...ah, um." 

Chika ignored Ishigami's doubt since it was normal for the right to be doubted. This was her debut, so her qualifications were unknown, yet with her ability, talents, and her brilliant mind, she believed that she could become a cupid for her cute junior~! 

Still, before she discussed Ishigami's love, watching him change his hairstyle into short hair, she thought that this guy didn't appear bad at all, and at the same time—

"By the way, I heard what was happening. You are such a good boy, Ishigami-kun~!" 

Patting his head softly, Chika smiled warmly, thinking what this junior of hers did for the girl he loved. If it was someone else, could they do something similar like Ishigami? 

For love, Ishigami could sacrifice his reputation and school life. 

If it wasn't because of the exposing accident that happened on the school forum, then no one probably knew what he did. 

Chika felt her eyes were a little wet somehow and felt a bit jealous of the girl who could have a man who could sacrifice so much for her, but then, this matter aside, as Ishigami had fallen in love with someone else, she would help and support him! 

In the name of Detective Chika, she made such a vow! 

"...even the students in your grade also heard it?" Ishigami asked weirdly. 

"Of course!" Chika nodded. "I think that no one in the school knows what you do. It is fortunate that you change your hairstyle, or else you will be treated like a panda in the Ueno Zoo." 

"Everyone in this school has nothing to do." 

"I agree!" 

Ishigami looked at Chika and wondered how she could say something so shameless since she was also included among those who had nothing to do.

"By the way, I know that it is a bit late." 

"What's wrong, Ishigami-kun? If you want my help, Detective Chika is ready to accept any love advice!" 

"...how long are you going to pat my head?" 

Ishigami felt that this girl was too rude for patting his head like this. 

Was he a little child? 

If he wanted to, he could have a child! 

"Ah, aren't you happy?" Chika looked at Ishigami strangely. "You have such a cute and beautiful girl like me patting your head. Shouldn't you be happy?" 

"....." 

Ishigami was at a loss for a while, wondering how this silly girl could be so confident. 

Still, pushing her away and stopping her was too easy. Instead of stopping her, he felt that he should take advantage of this situation. 

"Only a head pat?" 

"What do you mean?" 

"How about a hug?" 

As he said so, Ishigami opened his arms wide as if waiting for Chika to hug him. 

"..." 

Chika blinked her eyes and blushed. She might have had a fierce attack, but as she had given all of her points into an attack, her defense was rather weak, so in that moment of counter, she could feel her face was already hot! 

"Y-You want a hug?" 

"Well, you seem embarrassed, so it is fine if you don't want to." 

"W-Who is embarrassed?! The sun is just too intense, and my skin is just too sensitive! Come here! Let me hug you!" 

Being underestimated, of course, Chika couldn't accept it. 

Moreover, she was his senior! 

How dared this brat look down on her?! 

As she said so, Chika also opened her arms wide, looking at him as if trying to provoke him. 

There was no way a virgin like him dared to do something so bold, right? 

"...." 

Ishigami looked at Chika strangely and asked, "...are you sure?" 

"Yes!" Chika then showed a smug expression and asked, "Or you don't dare, Cherry-kun?" 

'This girl...' 

Ishigami was helpless, but then he looked at Chika with a determined expression, slowly and steadily approaching her, ready to hug her. 

'Eh, ah...?' 

Chika couldn't react, especially when Ishigami really dared to hug her. Frankly, as he approached her slowly, she could escape and even push him away, but in the end, she accepted him. 

Still, his hug was gentle, and she could feel that he was trying to be polite. 

'As expected of a virgin!' 

Well, she was a virgin too, so she couldn't say much toward Ishigami, but as they had done this, there was no need to hesitate, right? 

So, when he clung to her, she also clung to him as if telling him that it was okay to hug her a little harder. 

While she didn't expect him to understand her intention, it seemed she underestimated him since he hugged her even tighter that she felt almost suffocated, yet strangely enough, this wasn't bad, and watching him, burying his face in her chest, appeared in a low spirited, she sighed helplessly and felt like... she couldn't just leave him alone. 

'Geez... how can you hug me like this...?' 

While Chika was embarrassed, she softly patted Ishigami's head, letting him embrace her body and even buried his face on her chest. She could tell that he needed someone the most, and as her senior, she thought that she should support him a bit as she could tell that he had encountered many things. 

'Yes, as his senior...' 

In the beginning, she might be embarrassed, but after a while, she got used to the feeling of being hugged by him and also started to feel relaxed. 

Strangely enough, hugging each other like this also felt nice, and she had to say, his scent was quite nice. It was relaxing, she thought. 

Yet, when Ishigami hugged Chika, he couldn't help but show his weak side since he had to admit that everything that happened to him had overwhelmed him. While it was good that he got a second chance, he would be lying if he wasn't worried about anything. 

Having a new identity, a new family, and many other things. 

More importantly, he was alone! 

However, as a man, he didn't want to show his weakness, and he had to be strong since he had become Ishigami, and unlike the previous Ishigami, he didn't want to settle for being ordinary. 

He might say that he could become a NEET and become a parasite for his parents and older brother, but in reality, it was impossible for him to do so. 

Yet, Chika's mischief gave him a slight comfort, and he just couldn't help but let himself be comforted by this silly girl. 

However, when he woke up, feeling the softness on his chest and the gentle scent of a girl, he quickly woke up and pushed her as he lowered his head and apologized.

"...I am sorry for the inconvenience that I have caused, Senpai." 

"Eh-Eh?" Chika was startled by his reaction and quickly said, "It-It's fine. I am the one who teased you, after all. You don't have to worry." 

Ishigami blinked his eyes and asked, "Then, can I hug you once more?" 

"Don't get ahead of yourself!" Chika blushed and lightly tapped Ishigami's head. 

"It hurts!" 

Ishigami let go of Chika and held his head, pretending that Chika's tap was hurt. 

Chika pouted, but she wouldn't be swayed by him anymore since she could tell that he was acting. She came from a family of politicians, so naturally, her skill at reading people was high, especially when Ishigami's acting was so bad!

If only Ishigami knew what Chika thought... 

"By the way, are you sure that you want to help me with my love life?" 

"..." 

Chika fell into silence, and she wasn't in the mood anymore to help Ishigami with his love life, especially after they had hugged each other like that. She knew that she just helped him, comforting him when he was at his weakest, but when she thought that he would go into the arms of another girl again after this, she was furious! 

What was she?! 

Was she just a pillow used for comfort?!

"I was joking. I didn't fall in love with anyone." 

Chika looked at Ishigami in doubt and asked, "Are you sure?" 

"Yes." 

"You are not lying?" 

"I am not." 

"...you don't fall in love with me, right?" 

"....what do you think?" Ishigami was speechless, but Chika said, "But you know? It's normal to fall in love with me since I am a perfect heroine of Shuchiin Academy." 

"...." 

Ishigami fell in silence, wondering how someone could be so narcissistic. 

"What's with those eyes?!" Chika, who was sharp, quickly noticed Ishigami's eyes. 

"Nothing." 

"I know that you make fun of me!" 

"No, no. I think you are right. You are the perfect heroine of the Shuchiin Academy." 

Like any good man, Ishigami never tried to fight against a woman since he knew that it was meaningless. 

Yet, in Chika's eyes, this guy made fun of her! 

"Though, have you fallen in love before, Senpai?" Ishigami asked curiously. 

"Eh?!" Chika's face quickly reddened, then she looked away and said, "It's a secret." 

In other words, no.

Still, Ishigami's questions hadn't ended. 

"Have you dated someone?" 

"....." Chika. 

"Have you gone on a date with someone?" 

"....." Chika. 

"So, how can Detective Chika give love advice?" Ishigami asked politely. 

"Ishigami-kun...." Chika looked at Ishigami, and it was her first time knowing that he could be such a tease. Even if he just asked her a normal question, as she was unable to answer all of those questions, she felt like she was being made fun of! 

Still, she didn't know how to answer this question! 

"Ishigami-kun, have you gone on a date? Oh, no, I can tell that you haven't" 

"...aren't you the same?" 

Chika gritted her teeth with a blush of shame and then asked, "Then, how about we go on a date?" 

"Ha?" 

Watching his flustered expression, Chika felt as if she had won. "It's for studying! Training! As your senior, no, as a Detective Chika, it is my duty to teach those who aren't good at love!" 

"..." 

Ishigami blinked his eyes and asked, "Are you sure?" 

"What? You don't want to?" Chika asked with a pout, feeling unhappy since many guys would be happy if they could go on a date with her. 

"No, if you want to help me, then I am happy." 

Watching his sincere smile, Chika blushed, feeling her heart race slightly. 'No, no! How can Ishigami make my heart race like this?!' She felt so frustrated since she was the one who had always been messed up by him. 

Or rather, she wanted to have revenge, making him flustered and blush like how a virgin was! 

"Then, it is decided!" Chika made up her mind and asked, "Are you free this Sunday?" 

"Yeah." 

"Then, let's go on Sunday! Try to set up a dating plan, or rather surprise me! Then, in the end, I will score your love score!" 

'What the heck is a love score?' 

Ishigami was speechless, then nodded. "I will make you happy." 

Chika felt embarrassed by his sincere words, but she was pleased by his honesty. "Good! I can't wait for Sunday! Do your best!" As she said so, she patted Ishigami's shoulder like an experienced elder, then left the student council but stopped and said, "Oh, don't forget to come 15 minutes earlier from the date appointment!"

"Can we just exchange our LINE?" 

"Sure." 

The two changed their contact info, too, before they parted ways. 

Watching Chika, who left and appeared to be embarrassed, Ishigami looked at Chika's silly LINE photo profile on his smartphone, feeling strange as he just made a date plan with Chika. 

Still, who was his target for a girlfriend? 

Frankly, it could be anyone since he hadn't fallen in love, and as long as the girls were cute and part of the story, he was fine with anyone. 

Ishigami knew that he might appear irresponsible, but it wasn't like he could succeed if he just focused on a single girl, and similar to fishing, he should move around instead of staying in a single spot. 

As for his feelings, he could slowly fall for that someone when they started dating. 

While he was thinking about his dating plan with Chika, someone suddenly called his name. 

"Ishigami!" 

Stopping his steps, he turned and saw someone unexpected.
