Regarding my opening of the harem in the comprehensive world

"Hmmm, want to go to a lot of places."

"Uh-huh."

"But I want Subaru to come to the Games."

"Games?"

Subaru stared at her for a moment, then looked to Tor, who also shook his head to say that he didn't know, that Lotte had already disappeared, and that after Subaru had forbidden her to eat ice cream tomorrow she'd run straight to the fridge and grabbed it, like she was going to eat her share back tomorrow.

Kanna jumped off Subaru and a moment later brought a piece of paper down from upstairs and handed it to Subaru.

Subaru took the paper and read it out slowly.

"Huishin Elementary fall sports?"

Kanna grinned and nodded, "Well, the teacher said she wanted parents to come along, and wanted Subaru to come along too."

"Me?"

"Games ah..."

Looking at the date, Subaru held his chin and thought about it.

If Subaru had to go to class on the day of the sports day, she would have to take a day off. But if she didn't go to class for any other reason, she wouldn't be able to do her job as a student.

"Yes! I promise you, I'll be here that day!"

"Thanks Subaru!"

Kanna stared at Subaru with an oh-so-happy stare, then hugged him happily.

Huh? Going to school? Don't be silly. If you refuse Kanna-chan, you'll be destroyed by humanity... no, by heaven! Compared to Kanna-san a day of class is nothing at all, okay.

"Subaru, is it okay, it's supposed to be a class that day...", Tor worriedly tugged on Subaru's clothes.

"It's okay, I'll just take the day off, but it's just one day of class, it's completely trivial for me, the first in the class."

"Well, I'd like to-"

"The bottom tenth in the class Tor banned! You still don't understand what you're hearing from the teacher in class, and you want to skip class?!" , Subaru knocked Tor's head.

Thor deflated aggrievedly, "Che~~ because the teacher is so boring in class."

"If you want to know more about human society, take classes, there's a lot you can learn in a book."

"Yes~~"

Tor was superficially agreeing, but it was impossible to tell if he really listened to a few words.

Hmph, even if Subaru doesn't allow it, I'll just sneak along-...

"Sneaking up on me won't work either."

"Huh!!!" , Thor was scared to the point that his hair stood on end. "Subaru, why are you-"

"Hmm, I still don't know what you're thinking. Let's make a deal first, I'll ask Jubari and the others then, but I'll be mad at you if you don't have a class there."

"Yes..."

Thor hung his head weakly.

"Okay, Conner Sauce, let Thor take you with him to wash up, it's time for bed."

"Mmm!"

Conner nodded and took Thor's hand and headed upstairs together, one happy and one disappointed in stark contrast.

"And you, Lottie!"

Subaru grabbed Lottie who was still squatting in front of the fridge eating ice cream and dragged her upstairs.

"Hey~~ Kitten don't, wait for me to finish this box!"

"No! It's so late, you'll get a stomach ache if you eat ice cream!"

"Who told you not to let me have ice cream tomorrow, kitten really, that's too much!"

After a moment's thought, Subaru said, "Behave and go to sleep now. If you go to sleep now, I'll give you that gift I originally promised you."

"Gift? Ah! It's that one! A gift for me when I learn Japanese! Kitten really, I can't believe you've been keeping this from me!"

"What do you mean, hiding it from you...I told you that already."

"What's the gift then?"

"We'll talk about it tomorrow, but for now, go to bed."

"Che~~"

Chapter 258 - Women's Basketball Club before the Games

"Hey, really?! Subaru is coming to our sporting event?!"

"Yeah, but it's not the coach of the girls' basketball club, it's Kanna's brother la."

In the gymnasium, the little girls who had learned that Subaru would be coming to the fall games had happy expressions, but of course it was limited to the sixth graders, and as for the fifth graders....

Practicing soccer on the side, running on the run, not listening to what Subaru was saying at all.

"Hey~ That's nice, Kanna. I also want Subaru to come to our sports day say." , said Manabu enviously.

"Aren't you guys a sporting event...?"

"That's not what I meant lah, actually there was an event at our school sports day recently."

"Event?"

"Yes." , Saji picked up the topic. "There's more than just class rivalries during the games, the school also organizes a friendly competition with other schools, at our school."

Subaru scratched his head and asked a little confused, "A friendly competition? Why so suddenly..."

"Whether it's basketball or any other sport, there's a national elementary school competition coming up in two months, and the school is probably trying to practice early or see what other schools are capable of."

"I see. In other words, using this friendly match to test others first to conveniently prepare for the competition later on?"

Saji nodded, "That's probably it, I think the other schools have the same idea."

"That." , Jihana stepped forward. "Originally, considering Subaru-nii was in school at that time, we didn't say if Subaru-nii wanted to come to the games, could we..."

"Well, yes. I'll be there then." Subaru nodded.

"Really, Subaru will come? Great!"

"Oh~~Ouni-sa together for the sports day~~"

Saji's expression became a bit more serious, and then said, "And, this friendly match, that Yankiya, will also participate."

"Yanaya..."

As soon as Sae-Ji said that term, the happy expressions of the little girls all disappeared, looking as if they were enemies.

Inkani...was that the school where Jihana and the others had trained together last time.

"What what what, are you guys talking about the sports day?"

A head suddenly poked out from behind True Sail, scaring him so much that he almost jumped.

"Hey! Tsubaki, don't just pop up behind people all of a sudden!"

"Don't mind don't mind." , Tsubaki waved his hand playfully. "So now we're discussing the battle plan for the Games?"

"It's about that friendly game, isn't it." , Yami came over as well, with Mimi a few following behind.

"Yes, we were just discussing whether or not we have to win this friendly match."

"Of course!" , Shuu raised his fist. "Since it's a competition, how can we not win it properly!"

"So you guys are still too young, Tsubaki Shuu." , Shinefan puffed out his hands. "The problem now isn't just winning the friendly match."

"Don't call us Tsubaki Shuu ah!"

"But, Tsubaki and Shuu and the others are right." , Subaru said. "Since it's a competition, we certainly won't intentionally lose just to save our strength."

After a moment's pause, Subaru continued, "That's why I decided to break up the ten of you and make up two new teams that will play as starters and substitutes."

"Hey~~ Are the five of us going to play separate matches, why." , True Sail asked reluctantly.

"Because then others won't be able to see how we match up with the sixth and fifth years, and won't be able to prepare accordingly, Subaru-nii-san, is that right?" , Saiki pushed up her glasses and answered for Subaru.

"Oh~~"

Lori nodded, looking like she had come to her senses.

"Right." , Subaru nodded. "After that I'll adjust the balance according to each of you, but of course, the most crucial factor to win the competition is your daily training, otherwise, no amount of discussion will lead to victory. Everyone, train hard."

"Yes!!!"

........

After practice, Subaru left because he had other things to do, and the task of cleaning up was left to the members of the girls' basketball club. The fifth graders were in charge of the equipment room, while the sixth graders were in charge of the court.

"I didn't expect Subaru to come to the sports day!"

"Well, in the end Subaru-nii-san is still here for Kanna-san, we're just dropping by."

Faced with Manabu's happy sentiment, Saiki simply poured cold water on her.

"Che~~"

"But what would Subaru-nii-san arrange, after all, we're with them...", Saji hesitated not to finish her sentence, but the others understood what she meant.

Although the fifth years had managed to join the girls' basketball club with Subaru's help, the two grades simply hadn't interacted more so far, aside from some basic communication. It felt like there was an invisible wall separating the "two teams".

"At this point, I can only trust Subaru-niichan. Subaru-niichan has helped us so much, so I'm sure that this time too...", Ally said.

"Oh~ Hyuga, I also want to be friends with the friends of Hanazuki..."

"Me too!" , Mansail waved a hand. "Although Tsubaki Shuu is noisy, I still want to be friends with them."

"And you have the nerve to say that other people are noisy, aren't you the loudest one in the whole team." , Saji glanced at her.

"What?! I'm not making any noise!" , with a disgruntled look on his face, Manabu immediately shot back, "And don't you, with an apparently indifferent look, you really want to be good with Yami, don't you?!"

"Sh!"

"Everyone, stop arguing...", Chihuahua was advising, but the little lorises were in chaos as usual.

On the side, the equipment room.

"Did you, did you hear that, sister and the others..."

"Well... Saji she actually..."

"Dull sail - no, True Sail and the others actually said that they wanted to be friends with us..."

"Why? It must be because they're preparing for the next match to say something like that lah, maybe they're saying it to us on purpose oh."

Mimi came over while wiping the ball and looked at the four people who were stuck to the door like a gecko's entire body in confusion.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Ah!!!"

"Shh!"

"Don't scare us, Mimi-san." , Hanazuki patted her chest, looking flustered.

Mimi still looked confused.

Tsubaki cleared his throat and said to Mimi, "Nothing, by the way, what do you think about that coach's arrangement, Mimi?"

"Me?" , Mimi tilted her head. "I think Master did the right thing, so that we can successfully preserve our strength."

"Not this la! I mean, we're going to play ball with the sixth year."

"Play ball together? We play ball together all the time, huh?"

"No...I'm saying..."

"And, I'm happy." , Mimi clasped her hands together in front of her chest. "It's nice to play with Chihuahua and the others because we're partners."

"Hey..."

The four men looked at each other for a few moments.
