"Harem"

“You creep, don’t touch me!”

Hello there, I am Shuuichirou Nakamura, a second-year high school student and a person that you’ll call a hardcore anime otaku. Because of that, my life is a constant struggle of being bullied by my classmates.

I mean, is loving anime are ridiulous? I don’t get what they see about animes. But even in the midst of all the ridicule, I find solace in the world of anime and the characters that I love.

Well, right now, even though I was jjust shouted at, it is not in my mind even a single bit. I’m used to it already.

....

Time passed, and the bell rang, signalling the classes have come to an end for this day. I immediately walked towards the shoe lockers, switch my school shoes to my outside shoes and gets out of the school.

I don’t plan on even hanging around inside the school even one bit. It is just frustrating to be inside the school.

But... I slumped my shoulders and looked discouraged.

Well, to tell you the truth I just recently finished an anime. And what’s wrong with that? If you’re thinking it is because it has ended... No.

...

I mean... Who would be happy to see your waifu that you like, get defeated?!

“The third sister should be the one to succeed...”

I found myself sighing and mumbling about it as I walk towards my home. I also thought that this world is just so cruel.

If I could have a harem like that, I’ll make sure that no one will be left behind. I’ll make them all happy!

...Though, harem... it cannot happen. Or so I thought.

I was thinking such things and before I knew it, I arrived in front of our house and this is also the moment, I didn’t know that, my life will took a different turn.

I entered the house and saw shoes in the entrance that I’m not familiar with. I thought, maybe my father’s friend came or my sister came back home and took a friend back here.

“I’m home, father.”

Without hesitation, I proceed to walk towards the living room to check who’s in there.

And... There, one man with five girls that I don’t know is there.

As I appeared, all of their eyes turns to me who arrived.

“Oh, Shuuichirou! You’re back!”

“So, what’s the event father?”

I asked, as I realized that my father has a luggage beside him. Seems that he is quite excited about something.

“Well... Guess what? Me and Shuuichirou decided that you and his daugthers will live with each other from now on!"

"Oh... rea– WHAT?!”

What is going on?! And who is this another person who named like mine?!

“I guess, I need to introduce myself. I’m Shuuichirou Mizutani, nice to meet you, Shuuichirou Nakamura-kun.”

“Nice to meet you, sir.”

It seems that he is a nice person, but I still don’t know what is happening here though?!

“No need to be formal, me and your father is such a great friends.”

“Yes. But... what does my father mean by ‘me and your daughters living with together’?”

“You heard your father right, me and your father decided that you will live with my daughters until a certain goal is completed.”

“Goal?”

“Yes, you will be living together with my daughters and you will be choosing one of them as your future wife. That’s what me and your father decided.”

“WHAAAAATTT?!!!!”

How come that a father of these five girls will allow his daughters to live with a man?! And what’s more, I’ll be choosing one of them as my future wife?! You must be kidding me!

Ugh... These two fathers...

But how come the five sisters seem not to react at all?

“So well then, Shuuichirou! Father will be taking a break for now and you’ll be the one taking this house for now. I already told your sister not to come back home without your permission because maybe busy doing some... you know?! Hahahahahaha!”

“You even told older sister about it?! You’ve done it now father.”

I was approaching father to scold him when he ran fast to my back to ran outside the house.

“Well then, me and Shuuichirou now will depart from here on! So long, son!”

With that, Shuuichirou-san and my father left without me stopping them.

...

Silence surrounded the area.

...

This must be a joke right...? Right?! Moreover, how this two fathers decide for their own children?! We have our own rights!

How about these five?! They are not going to do anything about this situation?!

....

As someone who has never been in a relationship before, the idea of having to choose a wife is daunting enough, but to have five girls to choose from, is just too overwhelming.

To make matters worse, I can’t help but wonder if my love for anime will get in the way of me finding this called love.

I also wondering, will any of these girls understand my passion for anime? Or will they judge me like my classmates do?

I don’t know... I don’t really know because this is just too much for me to handle.

Will I be able to find love beyond my favourite anime? Or this passion of mine for anime will be my downfall? I don’t know...

...But there is just one thing that I know. All I know is that my life has suddenly become a lot more complicated than it was before, and I don’t know if I’m ready for it.

I’m just hoping this goes well.
