The Six Girls Who Wanted Me to Themselves

Narration:Haruto Kisaragi, an ordinary-looking boy with good grades and a calm face, hides a painful past.Deep down, he fears girls—especially the ones who get too close.Six girls once left scars on his heart that never healed.That morning, as the alarm buzzed beside his bed, Haruto opened his eyes and sighed.“...That dream again,” he muttered, staring blankly at the ceiling.It was another nightmare about his middle school days — the days he wanted to forget.

Haruto (narrating):My name is Haruto Kisaragi, 18 years old.I’m in my second year of high school.You might think, “Wait, shouldn’t he have graduated already?”Well, let’s just say... life got complicated.My family isn’t ordinary either.My grandfather was the founder of Yamaha Gucci Industries, a massive corporation worth over forty-five trillion yen.He was a stubborn man from a long line of warriors.Before he passed away, he told me,

> “A man must act without hesitation, even when surrounded by darkness.”

I never really understood his words back then… but now, they haunt me.At school, though, I’m just an average student.No one knows about my family.I study hard, work on the student council, and keep to myself.Every morning starts the same — 7 a.m., breakfast, walk to school.Same people. Same classes. Same life.

At least, that’s what I though Mrs. Akiyama (teacher):“Good morning, everyone! Before we start, I’d like to introduce a new transfer student.”A hush fell over the room.Mrs. Akiyama:“This is Sora Amane. Please treat her kindly.”A girl with long silver-blue hair and soft eyes stepped forward nervously.Her voice trembled as she spoke.

Sora:“M-my name is Sora Amane. I hope we can get along…”Sora’s thoughts:I can’t even look up… everyone’s staring. I just want to disappear.

Haruto (thinking):Wait… that name… that face…It can’t be…Memories flashed before my eyes — middle school days, laughter that turned to betrayal.For others, “Sora” means sky — bright and free But for me… that name brings only pain.

Haruto (thinking):I have to avoid her. I can’t go through that again.Sora:“Isn’t that… Haruto Kisaragi?”Mrs. Akiyama:“Oh, Haruto! You know her?”Sora:“Yes… we’ve known each other since childhood.”

Mrs. Akiyama:“Perfect! Then please show her around the school after class.”Haruto (shocked):“W-wait, what?! No, I— I have student council duties—”

Mrs. Akiyama (smiling):                    “Then guide her after your meeting. You’ll manage, right?”Classmates whispering   “Whoa, is that a confession?”“Lucky guy…”“MC’s life is straight out of a romance manga!”

Sora (blushing):                                      “I… I only want Haruto to guide me. No one else.”

Haruto (thinking):                               Why me?! This is supposed to be a normal day! I remember everything you did, Sora. I swore I’d never talk to you again.But… since the teacher asked, I can’t say no.

Haruto (speaking):                        “Alright, Sensei. I’ll do it.”Mrs. Akiyama:                                         “Great! Then it’s settled. Now, let’s start attendance.”

Sora (thinking):                                    After all these years… I finally found him again.Haruto Kisaragi — the boy who once filled my sky.This time, I won’t let him go…I’ll make him mine, no matter what it takes.

Narration:For Haruto, the day had just turned into hell.But for Sora Amane — it was the beginning of heaven.
