The Fruit of Desire~ Even a Bullied Gardening Club Member like Me Created a Harem~ - Chapter 24
As summer vacation approached, the members of the gardening club held a meeting to discuss their activity plans. In the past, it had only been Haruka and Ren, but with the addition of their advisor, Risa-sensei, Mizuki from the middle school, and Misaki, her older sister from the high school, they were now able to have more fulfilling activities.
“Now, let’s discuss our summer activity plans!” Risa-sensei said with enthusiasm.
“Summer plants grow quickly, so tasks like watering and pruning become increasingly important,” the discussion began seriously with everyone taking it to heart.
“Summer is also a great time to harvest fruit, so it would be nice to offer them at cooking classes and share the fun with everyone,” Mizuki suggested, and everyone nodded in agreement.
“Then, how about we assign duties and rotate in teams of two?” Haruka suggested, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Ren mentioned that he would prefer to be on duty every day, with just two days off each week. “I’d be fine with just two days off, I want everyone to take turns being my partner,” he said.
“Thank you, Ren. Now, let’s rotate the duties among us,” Misaki said, smiling.
And so, the gardening club’s summer activity plans were set, and Ren and the others worked together to carry out their club activities. Each member grew their own fruits, enjoying the summer sunshine as they worked together.

After the meeting ended, Misaki walked up to Haruka and called out to her.
“Hey, Haruka-san. I have something to talk about, is that okay?” Misaki asked, looking a bit nervous.
“Of course, what’s up?”
“It seems that Shinchi-kun’s parents will be away a lot during summer break. Since Shinchi-kun is busy with his club activities, he’s worried about leaving his little sister, who’s an elementary school student, alone at home. He asked me to take care of her. Would you come with me, Haruka-san?”
“I don’t mind, but… why me?” Haruka tilted her head, unsure of why she was asked.
“Um, well… I heard that Shinchi-kun’s little sister is actually his stepsister, and Shinchi-kun says she’s really cute,” Misaki stammered, choosing her words carefully. “I also want to help Ren-kun out,” she added.
“…I understand. If that’s the case, I’d be happy to help♡” Haruka said, looking into Misaki’s eyes and accepting her suggestion with a smile.
Misaki happily accepted Haruka’s suggestion. “Thank you, Haruka-san! Then let’s meet Shinichi-kun’s little stepsister together♡”
Misaki seemed ready to ask Ren for a favor too. Her eyes were bright, and there was a subtle look of expectation in her expression.
“Hey, Haruka-san. I have a favor to ask Ren-kun, too…” Misaki said, slightly nervously.
Ren and Haruka stared at Misaki, eagerly wondering what she was going to say next.
“Actually, Ren-kun, could you prepare a few of those strange fruits you make?” Misaki asked, her eyes sparkling.
“Of course, Misaki. But what are you going to use them for?” Ren replied, looking at Misaki in surprise.
Misaki smiled brightly and said, “That’s a secret for now. But I promise I’ll use them in a way that will make you happy, Ren-kun. So look forward to it!”
Ren and Haruka were both curious about what Misaki had said and thought it sounded fun. “Got it, Misaki. I’ll get the fruits ready,” Ren promised.
Haruka nodded and said, “I’m looking forward to it too, Misaki. It seems like you’re planning a surprise.”
Misaki smiled happily and expressed her thanks to Ren and Haruka. “Thank you, Ren-kun, Haruka-san.”
As anticipation grew for Misaki’s secret plan, Ren set about preparing the fruits for her. Everyone was excited to see what kind of memories the coming days would bring.

A few days had passed since summer vacation started, and the school was experiencing a peaceful period. Misaki invited Haruka and decided to visit Shinichi’s house. Shinichi’s house was a large mansion in a peaceful residential area, and Misaki always felt nervous about its grand exterior.
“Haruka-chan, this is Shinichi-kun’s house.” Misaki explained to Haruka as they walked toward the entrance. Misaki thought that at this time, Shinichi should be at club activities.
The two of them rang the doorbell and waited nervously. Soon after, a small elementary school girl came out from inside the house. She was Shinichi’s little sister, Kana.
According to Shinichi, Kana was frail and had asthma, so he was worried about leaving her alone at home. Kana had been told by her brother that “your brother’s girlfriend is coming to visit.”
Kana shyly looked up at Misaki and Haruka and greeted them, “Welcome.” Misaki smiled warmly at Kana and gently spoke to her.
“Hello, Kana-chan. I’m Misaki, Shinichi-kun’s girlfriend. I came today with Haruka-chan here to play with you.”
Haruka also smiled warmly at Kana and said, “Hello, Kana-chan. I’m Haruka, Misaki’s friend. Nice to meet you.”
Kana smiled at Misaki and Haruka, though she was a little nervous. “Yes, nice to meet you. Misaki-chan, Haruka-chan.”
Misaki asked Kana what kinds of activities she usually enjoyed.
Kana answered, “I can’t really do much physical activity, so I like reading books, playing games, and watching anime.” She added, “I don’t often get to hang out with friends…,” her face showing a hint of loneliness.
Misaki and Haruka were touched by Kana’s cuteness and vulnerability. Both of them promised, “We’ll be your friends from now on,” and made a promise to become Kana’s friends.
Kana happily guided the two of them to her room and showed them her favorite game.
“This is my favorite action game. Do you want to play it with me?” Kana suggested with shining eyes. Misaki and Haruka were intrigued and decided to challenge the game.
However, the game turned out to be surprisingly intense, and Misaki and Haruka were overwhelmed by Kana’s skills, suffering a crushing defeat. Even so, they couldn’t help but feel happy seeing Kana so excited.
However, Kana became too excited from the intense game and started coughing and gasping for breath.
In front of Misaki and Haruka, Kana’s asthma symptoms began to show. Her breathing became shallow and ragged, and her struggle was apparent to those watching. Despite her fading consciousness, Kana tried desperately to maintain a smile.
Misaki and Haruka hurried over to Kana and supported her. Seeing Misaki’s worried expression, Kana weakly but firmly said to her.
“It’s okay. This happens all the time, so don’t worry…”
Afterwards, Misaki and Haruka waited for Kana to calm down, staying by her side until she recovered. Despite Kana’s reassurance, they continued to worry about her, not leaving until she was truly okay.
With a concerned expression, Misaki asked Kana, “Kana-chan, are you sure you’re okay without lying down?”
Kana shook her head, a little reserved, and said, “Sitting is more comfortable than lying down.” To make her feel more comfortable, Misaki grabbed a nearby cushion and placed it behind Kana’s back.
Kana thanked them, then placed the inhaler in her mouth and started to take a deep breath. The sound echoed through the quiet room.
After a while, Kana’s breathing gradually calmed down. Haruka, relieved that her symptoms had settled, spoke to Kana.
“Kana-chan, do you think you can eat some sweets and herbal tea?”
Kana, having regained her energy, brightened up at Haruka’s suggestion and responded cheerfully, “Yes, I want to eat!” Haruka smiled happily and quickly started preparing the sweets and herbal tea. Misaki, watching Kana, sighed with relief.
When Haruka returned with the tea and sweets, Misaki and Kana were waiting. “This is herbal tea we made in our gardening club, and the sweets are made with fruits. Would you like to try them together?” Haruka suggested, and Kana nodded eagerly, her eyes sparkling.
“The fruit used in these sweets is really great for beauty and health. It might even help with your asthma, Kana-chan!” Haruka said, distributing the tea and sweets onto each plate.
The three of them enjoyed their tea and sweets while talking about their plans and activities for the upcoming summer vacation.
Kana started eating the sweets, and soon her face began to warm up. “I feel all warm,” she said, her eyes looking drowsy, as though the warmth had made her a little sluggish.
Haruka asked with concern, “Kana-chan, are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine. I think the fatigue has gone away. It must be thanks to your sweets, big sisters! But my stomach feels a little weird,” Kana replied.
“Does your stomach hurt?” Haruka asked, looking concerned.
“No, it’s not that. It’s not pain, but… um…” Kana hummed, unsure of how to put it into words.
Haruka said gently, “Then, let me rub your stomach. Come here.” Kana moved into Haruka’s arms, feeling comforted.
Haruka gently began to rub Kana’s stomach. “Kana-chan, relax. This will feel good,” Haruka said with a smile.
As Haruka’s hands massaged her stomach, a fluffy, soothing feeling spread through Kana, making her feel at ease.
Haruka was practicing the massage she had learned from Risa the other day on Kana. Her fingers gently circled around Kana’s lower abdomen.
“Is this the area where you’re feeling uncomfortable, Kana-chan?” Haruka asked.
“Yes, around here…” Kana replied. “Thank you for rubbing it, Haruka-chan.”
Though Kana was still a child and couldn’t fully understand the sensation, she felt relief and comfort from Haruka’s massage.
Haruka’s gentle touch heightened Kana’s comfort even more. Kana looked up at Haruka’s face and gave a smile filled with gratitude. Haruka, in turn, was warmed by Kana’s smile and felt that seeing her happy was the greatest joy.
On the other hand, Misaki, with a playful sense of mischief, gently massaged Kana-chan’s chest. At first, Kana appeared startled, but she soon welcomed the sensation as pleasure, saying, “Ah♡ That feels good too♡,” and let out a soft moan.
Seeing Kana’s reaction, Misaki was sure that her actions were bringing her pleasure, so she continued to gently caress her chest. Meanwhile, Haruka, noticing Misaki’s playful antics, kept massaging Kana’s belly with a cheerful smile.
Haruka and Misaki, seeing that Kana-chan seemed to be comfortable, felt reassured and focused on soothing her. By evening that day, the three of them were able to heal each other and spend a joyful time together.
