Chapter 15 – “My Harem Girls Formed a Student Council (and Declared Me Public Enemy #1)”

1. The Calm Before the Storm? Nah. It Was a Trap.

After surviving the magical boy pageant, a time-traveling pop star, and spontaneous cafeteria karaoke combat, I foolishly thought I'd earned a few days of peace.

I was wrong.

So, so wrong.

Because when I walked into class that morning, I saw this:

A GIANT RED BANNER across the room that read:

"Official Student Council of Kazuki's Harem — Now in Session"

I blinked.

Lilith sat in a high-backed chair, arms folded, wearing a black blazer, twin daggers on the table in front of her. Her eyes glowed ominously.

Ayaka sat beside her in a gothic maid outfit, sipping tea like an elegant war criminal.

Sayuri leaned against the chalkboard, arms crossed, chewing gum like she was seconds away from stabbing someone.

Even Mizuki — yes, my own stepmom — was seated in the back, wearing sunglasses and a "Team Chaos ♥" hoodie.

I took one step into the room and—

"KAZUKI, YOU'RE LATE," Lilith barked, slamming her gavel down.

"You stand accused of emotional indecisiveness and criminal charm."

I froze. "Is this… a real thing?"

Sayuri smirked. "Deadly serious."

Ayaka smiled serenely. "You have ten seconds to explain why you haven't chosen a romantic route yet."

2. The Charges

Lilith whipped out a scroll and unrolled it dramatically.

"Charges against Kazuki Arata:

– Flustering all four main girls.

– Making heart-eyes at every emotionally vulnerable moment.

– Accidentally saving lives while shirtless.

– Participating in two love triangles simultaneously.

– And worst of all… being too emotionally available."

"Okay, first of all," I said, "that last one doesn't sound like a crime."

"It is in this harem," Sayuri growled.

"Wait—why is there a courtroom? Is that a magical jury??"

I turned and saw twelve floating spirit cats meowing ominously in unison.

Lilith narrowed her eyes. "Jury of your romantic victims. We summoned them from the Phantom Realm."

I muttered, "I swear I just wanted to pass biology…"

3. Witness Testimonies: Chaos Unleashed

Witness #1: Ayaka

"I tried to teach him potion brewing," she said sweetly, "and he accidentally created a love vapor that made three professors propose to him."

I tried to explain. "In fairness, it smelled like vanilla and regret—"

Witness #2: Sayuri

"He gave me a handkerchief after I got cut in battle. Do you know how intimate that is for an assassin?!"

"Okay, but it had my school ID on it—"

Witness #3: Mizuki

"I raised him with chaotic affection and glittery breakfast rituals. And now he has fanclubs in six dimensions. That's definitely my influence."

"You're not even supposed to be here!"

Lilith stood. "And I… have 87 screenshots of our private messages that prove you called me 'devastatingly beautiful'—"

"THAT WAS A TYPO! I MEANT 'DECEPTIVELY BRUTAL!'"

4. The Debate Spiral

I tried to defend myself.

"I've been thrown into magical pageants, nearly exploded by a pop idol, chased by sentient homework, and now you're mad I haven't chosen someone yet?!"

Ayaka sipped her tea. "Correct."

Sayuri nodded. "This is harem politics now. You're the center. Accept your responsibility."

I muttered, "I'm a teenage boy with mild social anxiety, not the president of a dating sim—"

Lilith tossed a folder labeled "Harem Tax Forms" onto the desk.

"You're late on your romance quota."

5. Punishment Vote

Mizuki stood dramatically. "I move for a vote: Should Kazuki be emotionally punished until he makes a romantic decision?"

I gasped. "What does that even mean?!"

Ayaka smiled. "You'll be subjected to maximum flustering."

"Costume changes," Lilith added.

"Training in scenic waterfalls," Sayuri smirked.

"And bedtime tuck-ins," Mizuki winked.

"Objection!" I shouted. "This is a parody of every bad romcom!"

The cats all meowed. The scroll burst into glitter. And the gavel slammed again.

6. A Chaotic Truce

Just as I was about to explode from sheer secondhand embarrassment, the doors flew open.

Principal Tanaka stormed in.

"What is happening in here?!"

We all froze.

Lilith stood up. "Student council meeting. Constitutionally legal under Clause 7: Harem Emergency Proceedings."

Tanaka rubbed her temples. "Fine. Just keep the explosions to a minimum."

Everyone paused.

BOOM.

The windows shattered from a magical energy overload.

Tanaka turned to me. "You. Detention. Again."

I sighed. "Can I bring a chair this time?"

"No. You may only bring shame."

7. Aftermath and Uncomfortable Realizations

Later that night, I sat alone on the roof, staring at the stars.

I was:

On trial by my harem.

Behind on homework.

Possibly emotionally compromised.

And the worst part?

Somewhere deep down… I didn't mind the chaos.

Ayaka appeared beside me. "You'll have to choose, eventually."

"I know."

Sayuri dropped from the roof beams. "You'd better not choose wrong."

Mizuki waved from below with a smoothie. "Good luck choosing someone other than me~!"

And Lilith appeared, sitting casually on the edge. "No pressure… but we are all terrifying."

I groaned. "Can't I just… keep being confused and survive on waffles?"

They all stared.

Lilith said flatly, "No."
