About Starting A Part-time Job As A Rental Boyfriend And Then Getting A Lifetime Contract From The Most Popular Heroine At The University

One day after the group call, Haruya and the others were in the middle of a class researching about the so-called “moment the world changed.”

Haruya and his friends were gathered around a table in a group of four.

Various sizes of photo envelopes were placed in front of each of them.

“Isn’t Ran’s photo envelope unusually thick?”

“Ryoma’s is quite big too, isn’t it?”

Both Ryoma and Ran had brought quite a few photos.

Haruya and Akiba had also brought a fair number of photos, but it was about half compared to the two in front of them.

“Shall we get started then?”

Ran was clearly the group leader.

Neither she minded it nor did the others, it was very helpful.

Her caring nature was quite fortunate.

“Let’s start with the photos right after we were born. This is mine.”

Ran pulled out a picture of a baby sleeping peacefully in her mother’s arms.

The date printed on the bottom right corner of the developed photo gave a real sense of the time.

It’s not that Ran was old or anything, it’s just that technology has advanced at a breakneck pace.

“Newborns are really cute, aren’t they?”

“Is this your mother, Ran?”

“Yes, her name is Eri.”

“The daughter is Ran and the mother is Eri… Which means…”

Haruya asked Ran, carrying a mysterious sense of expectation.

“Your dad wouldn’t happen to be named Kogoro, would he?”

“Haha! I knew you’d say that! Unfortunately, his name is Kojiro.”

“Close, but no cigar!”

The conversation about the Kijima family’s names got sidetracked when Ryoma pulled out his photo.

“Mine looks like this.”

“Wait, you were so cute!”

“You’re…not making fun of me, are you?”

“I’m not, I’m not!”

Ran takes Ryoma’s photo and observes it closely.

Then, putting the photo down and comparing it with the real Ryoma, she said:

“So this…turned into this.”

“Yeah, exactly.”

“No big deal, right? But this was the moment when Ryoma’s world changed, or rather, began.”

“I guess so. It probably changed a lot for my parents too.”

“Definitely. Next up, Haruya.”

“Me…”

Haruya pulled a photo from the envelope, finding one where he was just born and being cradled by his mother.

“Wow, this is embarrassing somehow…”

Feeling slightly awkward, Haruya presented the photo.

“Oh wow, this is baby Haruya?”

“He seems to be sleeping quite comfortably.”

“Haruya’s mother hasn’t changed at all.”

The picture of Haruya’s mother happily holding Haruya in her arms looked just like she does now, from her skin to her hairstyle, nothing had changed.

“By the way, this is when Hikari was born.”

To shift the attention away from his photo, Haruya brings his sister into the picture.

In the photo, Haruya, who was in sixth grade at the time, is holding Hikari very carefully.

He was slightly nervous about dropping her, his smile was a bit strained.

“Ah, Hikari is also cute.”

“But Haruya, you were too nervous.”

“Well, I couldn’t help it, I wasn’t used to it.”

“But Haruya, you really are a good big brother.”

Haruya couldn’t help but blush when Akiba praised him.

It’s true that Haruya adores Hikari, but it was a little embarrassing to be told that so directly.

“Next up is Akiba.”

“Umm, okay.”

Just like everyone else, Akiba presented her photo with a bit of embarrassment.

In contrast to Hikari being cradled by her big brother, the photo of Akiba includes her big sister.

However, when Akiba was born, her sister Kanon was only about 2 years old, so she was just sleeping next to Akiba instead of holding her.

“Wow! There are two angels…”

“This is awesome! Both Fuyuki-san and her sister are so cute.”

“Yeah, they’re super cute.”

“A-A-A-Ah, it’s embarrassing…”

“Haruya said the baby was cute, not me now…”

She tried to cool down her flushed cheeks by telling herself firmly.

By now, Ryoma’s ‘cute’ comment had stopped reaching Akiba’s ears.

“I’ve met Hikari before at Starbucks, but I’ve never seen Akiba’s sister. Do you have any photos you can show us?”

“Photos from recent times, right? Just a moment.”

Akiba rummages through her smartphone’s photo folder and finds a picture of her and her sister.

By some coincidence, it’s a selfie of the two of them, each holding a Starbucks cup.

Kanon took the picture and sent it to Akiba later.

“Here’s one.”

“Wow, Akiba’s sister is so beautiful!”

“She really is. This is amazing for sisters…”

“It’s not like that. Oh, Haruya, this might be a bit hard for you to see.”

Akiba turns her smartphone screen towards Haruya, who is sitting next to her.

In the photo was a lively-looking college girl with bright brown hair and loose waves, sunglasses on her forehead, giving off a strong, sunny vibe.

Next to her, another type of beautiful girl is being held around the shoulders and laughing happily.

It was a two-shot of two incredibly beautiful college student sisters.

“This person is Akiba’s sister, Kanon…”

Haruya felt deeply relieved that Akiba had come that day.

Of course, she was the reason he had become friends with Akiba, but if he had met such a beauty on his first day of work, he might have been devastated.

“It seems like Kanon wouldn’t need to rent a boyfriend.”

“Well, my sister isn’t interested in romance.”

“Then why did she rent a boyfriend?”

“My sister is a writer. She’s a college student and a writer. She applied for a rental boyfriend for an interview, but she suddenly had a meeting and couldn’t make it.”

“I see. So that’s the reason.”

“Now I’m even more glad that Kanon didn’t come that day. Going on a date with me wouldn’t have been a useful reference for her.”

Relieved, Haruya did not know that his episode with Akiba was being turned into a rom-com by Kanon.
