Chapter 363: Girl, Your Train of Thought is Quite Unique
"Hachiman-kun, I like you!"
The girl's slightly loud voice echoed in the room.
Upon hearing this, underneath the bed, both Saeko and Kotonoha exchanged glances.
Another one...
As experienced individuals, the two of them understood that most of the girls on the beach had feelings for Hachiman, but they hadn't expected Alice to be the first one to confess.
Looking at Alice with expectation on her face, Kotonoha was quite touched.
Because just last year, I also confessed my love to Hachiman-kun on the beach.
Meanwhile, as the recipient of the confession, Hachiman couldn't help but be stunned.
Though he knew Alice had some feelings for him, he hadn't anticipated her confessing so soon.
But what about his feelings for her?
Did he like her?
Well... to be honest, Hachiman did have some feelings for Alice. After all, in today's world, appearance mattered, and someone as beautiful as Alice was hard not to like.
He also understood that if he agreed, he'd immediately have another pretty girlfriend.
However, he didn't immediately accept her confession. Instead, he asked her a question.
"So, Alice, what's the reason you like me?"
Upon hearing Hachiman's question, Alice paused for a moment, then collected her thoughts.
"My initial interest in you sparked when you defeated Erina."
"I can't stand Erina. Since we were kids, she's always been snatching my toys, wearing my favorite dresses... So, I've always wanted to beat her."
"Though I hate to admit it, I've never won against Erina, not once in my life."
"And I've never seen her lose to anyone our age until you showed up..."
"I never expected my arrogant sister to lose so miserably, 3-0, it was a complete rout."
"It felt good to see her humbled. She had it coming."
With a smile, Alice continued, looking at Hachiman in front of her.
"But what made me truly like you was when you saved me last year."
"Not only that, you even performed CPR on me."
"I know it was an emergency, but that was my first kiss! And you just took it away like that."
"Ever since then, I've been thinking about you from time to time."
"Especially after you kept defeating Erina time and time again, it made me happy."
"Often, I'd think, even if I can't beat Erina, as long as I have a boyfriend who can, it's just as good."
"So, I don't know when it started, but I've been liking you more and more, Hachiman-kun."
"Hachiman-kun, I like you. Will you be my boyfriend?"
Finishing her statement, Alice lifted her head, looking at Hachiman with hope in her eyes.
Once again being confessed to by the girl, Hachiman fell silent.
As he expected, Alice liked him because of that incident with the CPR.
First kiss, first love... It meant a lot to a girl.
Judging by the current situation, if he agreed, he would immediately have another beautiful girlfriend.
But his situation was rather complicated.
Although he could deceive her for the time being and reveal everything later, even if Alice left him, he wouldn't lose out.
But Hachiman wasn't planning to do that.
Although he was a bit of a player, he still had his limits. Deceiving someone's feelings was something he couldn't bring himself to do.
After thinking it over, Hachiman decided to be honest with the girl first. If she didn't mind, then everything would be fine.
However, seeing Hachiman remaining silent, Alice couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
It seems Hachiman-kun doesn't like me...
Just as the girl was about to apologize, Hachiman spoke up.
"I'm glad you said that, Alice, but there's something I need to tell you."
"Huh, what is it?" Alice raised her head again.
Hachiman paused for a moment before speaking, "Actually... I already have a girlfriend."
"Huh...?!" Alice's eyes widened upon hearing this.
"Hachiman-kun, you have a girlfriend?!"
"Yes, and not just one," Hachiman nodded and continued, "Actually, I have many girlfriends, such as Saeko, Kotonoha, Utaha, and Yui..."
Listening to each name mentioned by Hachiman, Alice couldn't help but freeze.
"Huh? So many, but isn't a boyfriend supposed to have only one girlfriend?"
"Normally, yes, but I'm a bit of a player, so I have many," Hachiman shrugged, pretending to be casual.
Hearing his words, Alice fell silent.
Seeing her like this, Hachiman let out a sigh of relief, but there was also a hint of sadness in his heart.
After all, losing such a beautiful girlfriend was a bit of a shame, wasn't it?
Just as he was about to speak up to comfort her, Alice suddenly spoke.
"So, Hachiman-kun, is Erina your girlfriend?"
Unexpectedly, the girl's first reaction was Erina, which made Hachiman smirk.
Indeed, they're truly the rivalrous sisters in love and hate.
"Erina, she... isn't my girlfriend yet," Hachiman replied.
"Not yet?" Alice muttered to herself.
She understood the implication of Hachiman's words.
It's just not yet, but who knows what the future holds?
Could it be that Erina is trying to get ahead of me in this aspect of love too?
No, I can't accept that.
Wait, it seems like I still have a chance to win.
Since Hachiman already has so many girlfriends, what's one more for me?
I must become Hachiman's girlfriend before Erina does.
With determination in her eyes, Alice raised her head and looked straight at Hachiman.
"Then, I want to be Hachiman's girlfriend."
Unexpectedly, the girl said so, leaving Hachiman stunned.
"Huh... But I already have so many girlfriends, Alice, are you sure you're okay with that?" Hachiman asked, surprised by her declaration.
"Well, there might be a little bit of concern, but according to what you said, Hachiman-kun, you definitely won't let Erina slip through your fingers, right?" Alice asked a peculiar question.
Though odd, Hachiman answered truthfully, "Well, that's what I think, but as for Erina..."
Before he could finish, Alice interrupted him.
"Since that's the case, then I also want to be your girlfriend, Hachiman-kun, and I want to be ahead of Erina."
???
Girl, your thoughts are quite unique.
How can you compare things like this?
Seeing her like this, Hachiman blinked.
"Alice, it seems like my words have left you a bit confused. I think you should go back and reconsider," he suggested, but the girl stubbornly refused.
"No, I'm very clear-headed right now. I want to be your girlfriend, Hachiman."
With that, Alice untied her bathrobe's belt.
In the next moment, her alluring figure clad in sexy lingerie was displayed before Hachiman's eyes.
