Chapter 324
324 – 2 Years Later
One year has already passed since I graduated from Ichijou Academy and followed the president to Kyoto University.
Unlike my high school life, which was turbulent in many ways, the one year I spent in college was probably the happiest time of my life as ‘Kim Yu-seong.’
That’s because, with the full support of the president, I entered the Department of Comprehensive Human Studies as a freshman, and did what I wanted to do and learned what I wanted to learn.
Kyoto University is said to be a gathering place for geeks from all over Japan, but it would be hard to find a lucky guy like me.
Now, to reminisce for a moment, we had a group wedding as soon as we graduated from high school.
It was the first bigamy since the establishment of the Bigamy Special Act in Japan, so it almost became a hot topic in many ways, but thanks to the chairman, Ivan, and Naoto joining together to suppress the media with their overwhelming power, our wedding was published in the morning newspaper. Nothing like decorating the noodles took place.
Of course, leaving everything else aside, it was difficult to get permission from my parents to get married.
Just having a wedding isn’t enough, so if you tell me that it will be the wedding of the century with one husband and eight wives, of course you’ll fall down holding your head.
Thanks to this, every time we received permission to get married, we were able to get permission only after gathering in groups and swearing that we would never regret it.
… To be honest, it was a bit scary when Sojiro came out of the study with an air gun.
Anyway, after all the twists and turns-
The following eight people, including the Chairman, Rika, Karen, Sasha, Fuma-senpai, Nao, Meiling, and Ayase, became my legal wives.
When I think about it now, I feel like such a ridiculous wedding was possible, but wouldn’t it be okay if the people involved were happy… ?

From noble mtl dot come
My morning starts a little earlier than most people.
This is because I have developed the habit of exercising early in the morning, and because of that, I often unintentionally wake up other people when I get out of bed.
“Umm… Ryu-chan?”
When Rika, who was particularly sensitive to her presence, rubbed her eyes and tried to wake up, I stroked her head and whispered to her to sleep more.
“… Yeah, okay.”
Rika then cooed cutely and pulled the blanket up to her head again.
I smiled softly when I saw that, then carefully closed the door and went out into the living room.
What you see beyond the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room is the scenery of Kyoto, full of old-fashioned scents.
Because the sun had not yet risen, the dusky scenery made me fall into a strange feeling.
‘I’m lazy today, so I’ll do it at home.’
Originally, if it were me in high school, I would have put on training clothes and gone outside to exercise, but now there is no need to do that.
That’s because in this newlywed home prepared by the chairman, there is a home gym made just for me.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
I got on the treadmill and started running at a light pace of 10 km.
“Hook, hook, hook, hook.”
Perhaps because it was summer, the sweat came off quickly.
It’s okay to turn on the air conditioner, but personally, I don’t feel like I exercised if I don’t sweat, so I tend to refrain from exercising as much as possible.
I got off the treadmill just as sweat was beading on my forehead and then concentrated on strengthening my upper body with bench presses, dumbbell curls, lateral raises, and military presses.
After I finish my morning exercise, I take a cool shower and finish with a protein shake.
This was my usual morning routine.
“Whoaaam~”
At that time, Rika, who was in the room, came out to the living room looking very disheveled.
I asked her as I set out her breakfast on the island for her to eat.
“Did you work on your assignment late at night last night too?”
Then Rika answered, “Yes,” With her eyes half closed.
I poured milk into the cereal bowl and asked what he was doing these days.
Then Rika answered, scooping up her cereal with her sleepy face.
“It’s just okay.”
“Okay?”
“Yes.”
Rika keeps giving short answers and mechanically eating her cereal.
I looked at Rika with concern, and when my eyes fell on her her tangled hair, I went to her room and brought her a spray gun and a comb.
Then she said while combing her tangled hair.
“If there is someone around you who is giving you a hard time, tell me. I will come and scold you personally.”
Then, Rika surrendered herself to my touch and burst into laughter.
“If Ryu-chan comes in person, everyone in our department will be surprised?”
“But it doesn’t matter. I have to punish all the bad people who are bothering Rika.”
“Hehe, I feel reassured just by hearing what you say.”
Rika, who was eating her cereal while saying that, looked at me as if she remembered something.
“Now that I think about it, Ryu-chan, I have a drinking party today.”
“What time?”
“Um, 7 o’clock? I was planning on having a drink with my classmates.”
“Then I’ll pick you up in the evening.”
“Isn’t it annoying? I can come home alone.”
After hearing Rika’s childish words her her her, I placed my hand on her her waist her her her.
“Rika, I’ve said it before, but all the men in the world are wolves. When a pretty girl like Rika is defenseless, they are the ones who will try to do something to her.”
“Hey, isn’t that because Ryu-chan has been watching too many erotic doujinshi?”
“In the first place, reality is better than fiction. So, quietly tell me the name of the store.”
When I said that and looked at her firmly, Rika playfully smiled her eyes and answered, “Yes, Mom.” Then she calmly told me the name of the store.
After checking the location of the store on Google Maps, I said, “I’ll pick you up when the drinking session is over,” And took my hand off her head
After looking so clean, Rika slurped down the milk that had the sugar in her cereal dissolved in it, and then stood up with her bowl making an old man-like noise.
“Then let’s do our best today, Ryu-chan.”
“Yes. Cheer up, too, Rika.”
I said that and patted Rika’s small butt.
***
Currently, Rika is studying hard with her goal of becoming a fashion designer.
Rika, who was originally interested in fashion and beauty, was introduced by her mother, Maria, to a university in Kyoto, where she is currently studying design.
She probably followed her mother in making her cosplay costumes since she was young, and maybe her own experience as a cosplay influenced her?
If you think about it that way, Maria unintentionally educated her Rika at an early age.
There is a bit of distance between school and home, so unlike Rika, who takes the bus to school, I ride my bicycle to school and leave home around 8 a.M.
Perhaps because the chairman took location conditions into consideration when choosing a house, the distance from the newlyweds’ house to Kyoto University only takes about 10 minutes by bicycle.
As you pedal hard, you can see the clock tower and camphor tree, which are symbols of Kyoto University, in the distance.
Because the school grounds were so large, even after crossing the school gate, I had to go a long way before I arrived at the undergraduate building in Yoshida Minami.
After parking my bike and rushing up the stairs, I saw a familiar face and readily greeted him.
“Hello, Professor.”
“Oh, welcome, Mr. Kim.”
The professor who just received my greeting is Professor Tawara of the Department of History.
Since I belong to the Department of General Humanities, I often attend various liberal arts classes, and Professor Tawara was someone I met at that time.
At first, I thought something was wrong with him suddenly talking to me, but it turned out that he was one of the guests who came to my wedding.
“It looks like there’s class starting from the first period today, right?”
“Yes, I have Russian class at 9 o’clock.”
When I said that and pointed to the second floor, the professor smiled and said, “It looks like you’re studying hard.”
Professor Tawara seemed to be happy to see me after a long time and wanted to chat with me, but since class time was running out, I firmly cut him off.
“Then I’ll just go. I think class will start soon.”
Then Professor Tawara said, licking his lips with a regretful expression.
“Next time you have time, come visit our department office. I’ll treat you to a cup of tea then.”
“Yes. I will remember it.”
Of course, I really had no intention of going there.
If you really go there, you will be caught for nearly 3 hours and have to be your companion.
After bowing politely and saying hello, I went up to the second floor without even looking back and breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that I barely made it to the classroom on time.
“Phew, I almost was late.”
Professors are sensitive to attendance in both Korea and Japan, so if you are late without any special reason, your grade will be adversely affected.
I passed by the people from other departments who were gathered in small groups and talked about the drinking party they had yesterday, and went to the back of the lecture room and sat down, taking out the tablet from my bag to prepare for class.＜ Br＞
Grumble!
At that time, someone sat next to me, and when I noticed that person’s identity due to the familiar smell of perfume, I grinned and called his name.
“It looks like you don’t have any work at work today, Kumiko-senpai.”
Then the chairman, who had straight black hair tied in a ponytail, looked at me and answered with a charming smile.
“Even if I have it, shouldn’t I skip it? It’s a class that overlaps with Yoosung-gun’s, which only happens once a week.”
