Big F for Amane. It's hard for flat chests to win against big boobs, especially when MC prefers big ones. And Meina straight up betraying Hakua here, lmaooo :dogkek:

She says she’s liked Izumi from the start and seriously wants to get his heart for herself. When Meina leaves the student council room, she runs into Nanao. Nanao asks Meina to work together with her to win Izumi’s heart.

★ After finishing his part-time job, Izumi is approached by Meina and Nanao. Nanao is the first to say she wants to go hang out at Izumi’s place. Of course, Izumi tries to refuse because it doesn’t look good to bring a girl into the room of a guy who lives alone. But Meina joins in, and because of Meina’s pushing, Izumi is forced to let both of them come over to his apartment.

★ Meanwhile, Hakua is preparing food for Izumi. Hakua managed to find out where Izumi lives, and using her family’s money power, she got the room right next to Izumi’s. Every day, she cooks meals for Izumi. This makes Hakua confident that she’s “leading” among the heroines, since she spends more time with Izumi than the others. When she hears Izumi’s door open, Hakua goes out, planning to visit his room and welcome him home. But then she hears another woman’s voice coming from his room. Because the apartment walls aren’t that thick, Hakua puts her ear to the wall to listen in on what’s going on next door. She hears Meina and Nanao’s voices and totally misunderstands, thinking the three of them are doing something indecent.

I'll share Summary Light Novel Volume 4 here, WARNING : Please Don't Click if you Hate Spoiler, I’m going to split this spoiler into 2 parts because it won’t fit in a single long comment.

Point: This volume's a major turning point in the whole fight for Izumi's heart. Haru finally manages to confess, Hitomi starts opening up wanting to get closer to him, but the biggest change is Amane. She's always been terrified of losing her spot as Izumi's best friend, but once she realizes he's actually been paying attention to and valuing her this whole time, she stops hiding behind the "just friends" label and confesses by kissing him. That kiss also shakes Nanao's confidence for the first time, someone who's always been calm and sure she'd win in the end.

Characters:
MC: Sumie Izumi
Heroine 1: Nanase Nanao
Heroine 2: Shiragiku Hakua
Heroine 3: Akeboshi Meina
Heroine 4: Sumie Kasumi
Heroine 5: Kasuga Haru
Heroine 6: Amazaki Amane
Others:
Potential Heroine 7: Iketeru Hitomi
Potential Heroine 8: Doumoto Inori

Note: Heroines who've already confessed to Izumi: Nanao, Hakua, Meina, Kasumi. Not yet confessed: Amane, Haru, Inori, Hitomi. *Inori and Hitomi are more of a joke pairing, Hitomi does have feelings but it leans more fetish than romance.

★ Right before the summer trip to Atami, Amane runs into her cousin who just got divorced after her husband cheated. Her cousin tells her that love alone isn't always enough to keep a relationship going once you're an adult. That hits Amane hard, she's always treated her feelings for Izumi as something special, but kept finding excuses not to say it. Now she's starting to wonder if feelings that are never spoken actually mean anything.

★ Amane tries psyching herself up, seeing the Atami trip as her chance to finally catch up to Nanao, Hakua, Meina, and Kasumi. Right after convincing herself "Amane's gonna be fine," her sandal strap snaps and she face plants.

★ Amane, Haru, and Inori hold a meeting as the "haven't confessed yet" girls squad, feeling pathetic since the other four already confessed. Plan one is seducing Izumi with swimsuits, but comparing themselves to Nanao, Hakua, Meina, and Kasumi just sends them spiraling into despair over losing the chest size competition. The strategy meeting turns into a full on complaint session about "growth disparities in the chest region."

★ To beef up the squad they recruit Hitomi, who seems mature and reliable, but she's got her own agenda, she suspects Izumi's playing multiple girls at once. More and more pretty girls keep showing up at his workplace looking for him while he stays nice to everyone without giving clear answers, so Hitomi wants to use this trip to investigate whether he's a genuinely good guy or a shady harem builder.

★ Hitomi drives to Atami with Izumi riding shotgun and eight girls crammed in back. The chaos starts early, Nanao and Hakua bond over new chocolate snacks from Hakua's family company, Kasumi mocks the snacks as cheap while shamelessly eating the most of it, blaming it on skipping breakfast when called out.

★ Kasumi then lists her standards for a woman worthy of Izumi, pretty, smart, natural leader, fully devoted, willing to dedicate her life to him. Everyone immediately points at Hakua as the perfect match, Hakua offers to be called "sister in law," while Kasumi screams that she was actually describing herself. Ever since losing that earlier game match, Kasumi's gone from feared to everyone's favorite punching bag.

★ Watching from the driver's seat, Hitomi's suspicions only grow seeing Izumi as the lone guy surrounded by eight pretty girls. Izumi gets offended when she asks if he even has guy friends, he'd actually tried inviting some along but the girls unanimously vetoed it, now he's low key questioning if he actually has any male friends.

★ The Sumie family villa turns out way more luxurious than expected, spacious living room, full kitchen, huge bathroom, ocean view. Kasumi brags it was a gift from their dad when she started middle school. Hakua tries to one up her claiming hers is bigger, but Meina blows her cover revealing Hakua's family actually wants to sell theirs because upkeep's too much hassle, tanking Hakua's flex instantly.

★ First problem, room assignments. Five bedrooms, all built for two people, eight girls plus one guy. Izumi decides four rooms go to paired up heroines while he sleeps alone in the last one. The girls are not happy about it. Inori tries claiming some fake illness that requires sleeping alone, an excuse so bad Izumi immediately calls her out on when she supposedly got diagnosed.

★ After some scheming, Haru lands the spot as Izumi's roommate for night one. Nanao actually helped set it up out of guilt, Haru had already worked up the courage to confess once during that game match against Kasumi, but got interrupted at the worst possible moment. Nanao wants to give her a second shot at finishing what she started.

★ That afternoon, Nanao takes Izumi grocery shopping, Hakua tags along insisting cooking duty's hers. While looking for Hitomi to help drive, Izumi accidentally spots Kasumi inspecting swimsuits, she's checking because she's convinced Meina's gonna bring something too revealing to tempt Izumi, and sure enough, finds Meina's skimpy pick.

★ Then Izumi finds an even more scandalous one, basically just scraps of fabric and string. He tries lecturing Meina about not bringing anything too indecent, but she denies owning it, so does Kasumi. Turns out it's Hakua's, who goes bright red when Kasumi calls it shameless. Izumi panics and tries comforting her by saying she'd look good in anything, which somehow makes her even more embarrassed instead of better.

★ Once Amane finds out Hakua and Nanao are shopping with Izumi, she announces a curry cook off. Team Hakua's just her and Nanao, Team Amane's got Amane, Haru, Inori, and Hitomi. Amane talks a big game like she's got some secret strategy, reality is Haru and Inori can barely cook and Hitomi rarely touches a kitchen, so the whole team's riding on Amane, who's still not that great herself.

★ At the supermarket, Izumi walks around with Nanao and Hakua hanging off both his arms, whispering sweet nothings while shoppers stare thinking they're witnessing a harem live. Meanwhile Team Amane spies from behind the shelves, judging the PDA as scandalous, not realizing four pretty girls hiding behind shelves staring at one guy is drawing just as much attention.

★ The curry match exposes the skill gap hard. Hakua brings her own spice blend and whips up curry from scratch with Nanao keeping up easily. Meanwhile Amane's stuck teaching her team how to hold a knife, cut onions, peel carrots, Hitomi peels her carrot so aggressively it ends up looking like a tiny root.

★ Amane's "secret weapon" is literally just mixing three brands of instant curry roux because her mom once said it tastes better that way. Haru tries saving her dignity by calling it genius strategy. Somehow, despite the chaos, Team Amane's curry actually turns out good, simple and homey. For Izumi, who grew up on fancy food his whole life, that comfort food taste hits different in the best way.

★ Since it's a competition though, Izumi ends up picking Hakua's curry as the winner based on quality. Amane practically collapses like her whole effort meant nothing, but bounces back after tasting Hakua's curry herself and frustratedly admitting it really is that good. Loss aside, successfully making edible curry is still huge growth for Amane, considering her cooking history includes coating everything in chocolate.

★ After dinner, Meina proposes a card tournament with the prize being bath time with Izumi. He shuts that down hard, while Hitomi takes it as more proof of the shady lifestyle she's investigating. Meina adjusts the terms, they'll use cards to decide whether Izumi's request for separate baths gets honored instead. The girls secretly conspire to make sure he loses.

★ What they don't know, Izumi grew up with serious business training from the Sumie family and basically never loses at cards. Meina's plan to read his expressions fails completely, he fakes reactions to mislead her and controls the games without anyone catching on. Baba Nuki, Daifugo, memory match, poker, doesn't matter, he sweeps everything. Card night turns into a straight up massacre, and ironically Kasumi, who brags most about her Sumie family upbringing, ends up losing to her brother the most. Izumi keeps his solo bath privileges intact.

★ Night one centers on Haru. In the bathroom, Meina and Inori hype her up to make the most of rooming with Izumi. Haru's still super shy about it, but Nanao already gave her the shot to finish her confession. Meina explains Nanao's helping her rivals because she genuinely loves Izumi enough to not want him boxed into just one relationship where he suppresses his own feelings out of obligation, that's not the kind of life Nanao wants for him.

★ When Haru walks into the room, Izumi has zero clue what's going on. She's in new pajamas holding a big pillow meant for two, but he assumes she's just there to supervise and make sure he doesn't do anything weird. The awkward silence leads to a full misunderstanding, when he tells her to go to sleep, she takes it as an invitation of a different kind, climbs into his bed blushing hard, and says she'll "do her best."

★ Still clueless, Izumi thinks maybe she just prefers that side of the bed and offers to switch spots. Haru takes that as rejection and grabs him to stop him from moving. They end up lying together in the same bed, facing each other, both too nervous to sleep.

★ Izumi finally asks about what she tried to say during the game match against Kasumi. Haru almost bails again, but remembers how persistence got her through tough games before, she can't give up just because this "game" called love is way harder. She finally says it clearly, she likes him, and apologizes for always talking to him harshly.

★ Izumi thanks her for saying it a second time. He doesn't give an answer yet, but promises to start reading her sharp comments as tsundere behavior from now on. She calls him oblivious and painfully slow at noticing people's feelings. Nothing else happens that night besides them sleeping side by side, but Haru finally gets her confession through.

★ Next morning, the girls find Izumi petting Haru's head in bed. Half asleep, he'd mistaken her hair for his family's deceased Pomeranian's fur. Chaos ensues, Hakua goes pale, Inori freezes up, Hitomi mutters about the harem theory again. Meina pulls Haru aside to confirm nothing happened, comes back giving the all clear signal, though proving a guy did literally nothing while sleeping next to a pretty girl somehow feels like another insult to Izumi's pride instead of a compliment.

★ On the private beach, Izumi talks with Suzuki, Kasumi's caretaker and secretary. Suzuki jokingly offers to hire fake delinquents so Izumi can play hero and save the girls like some cliché romance scene, Izumi declines knowing full well those "villains" would just be SUMIE Group employees ordered to lose on purpose.

★ The conversation turns serious. Izumi asks whether he or Kasumi's the better fit to inherit the family business. Suzuki says Kasumi's more suited to lead while Izumi might be better as support. Even though he half expected that answer, it still stings. Suzuki adds that suitability isn't everything, personal will matters too. When asked about his dad's opinion, Suzuki clearly dodges, and Izumi notices she's hiding something but doesn't push.

★ Later the girls bury Izumi in the sand with a watermelon by his head for a game, but the real prize isn't breaking the watermelon, whoever successfully hits Izumi's head with the plastic bat gets to be his roommate that night. Amane goes first without knowing the real rule, and everyone gives her fake directions on purpose, making her smash a watermelon labeled "fail" instead.

I'll share Summary Light Novel Volume 4 here, WARNING : Please Don't Click if you Hate Spoiler, I’m going to split this spoiler into 2 parts because it won’t fit in a single long comment.
PART 2

★ Hakua goes next trusting Meina to guide her, but Meina betrays her again and steers her straight into the watermelon too, reasoning that if Hakua wins she definitely won't let Meina into Izumi's room that night. Turns out romantic rivalry beats servant loyalty every time.

★ Nanao steps up last and ignores every fake direction. As an archery club member, she calmly follows her own instinct and nails Izumi's head dead on. Asked how she knew where he was, she says she can always sense which direction he's looking at her from. Everyone protests that her "power of love" is basically cheating, but the win stands. Nanao gets roommate rights for night two.

★ Beach time's also full of attention grabbing. Amane asks Izumi to rate her swimsuit, and when he honestly says she looks cute, she gets flustered instead of happy. Hakua then asks him to put sunscreen on her back, Meina deliberately narrates it in the most suggestive way possible until both Izumi and Hakua nearly lose their composure. Before Meina can push Izumi into applying sunscreen elsewhere on Hakua, Amane storms in, snatches the bottle, and dumps way too much lotion on Hakua claiming she's just helping.

★ In the water, Nanao slowly warms up to Kasumi as a future sister in law. Kasumi keeps denying they're close, but still lets Nanao pull her floatie around and even shared a room with her already. When a wave flips Kasumi's floatie, it's revealed the future SUMIE Group heir can't swim. Izumi rushes to save her, a reminder that underneath all her arrogance, Kasumi's still his little sister who needs looking after.

★ Night two's a beach BBQ. Now that she's confessed, Haru's gotten noticeably clingier, constantly holding onto Izumi's shirt. When he tells her to step back from the grill for safety, she pouts feeling ignored. Izumi switches into his work "prince mode," tilts her chin up and says burns on such pretty skin would be a loss for the world. Haru's instantly speechless and stiffly walks away, while Hitomi and Inori watch like they just witnessed a certified love criminal in action.

★ Amid all the fun, Amane's still wrestling with her fear. Hakua pointedly notes that even Haru's made her move while someone's still not officially in the running, her sharp words secretly hoping Amane will finally be honest, since watching her just meddle with other girls' progress without confessing herself is getting sadder by the day.

★ Amane gets alone time with Izumi while cleaning up dishes. He compliments her recent exam results, even though their study sessions have gotten rarer, he's still been noticing how she balances school and modeling. She's relieved, having assumed he'd stopped caring.

★ But then Izumi says she might not need his help anymore. What he means is he's proud she can stand on her own now, but to Amane it sounds like he doesn't need her around anymore. She realizes Izumi's irreplaceable to her, but her role in his life could be filled by literally anyone. That fear makes her hands shake so bad she drops and shatters a glass. Izumi quickly shields her from the broken pieces, but she bolts to the bathroom before she can say anything.

★ Hitomi comes in to help clean up and finally admits why she came on this trip, she'd suspected Izumi was playing multiple girls, but after observing him she now understands they all like him because he accepts them exactly as they are.

★ Then Hitomi drops a shocking confession of her own, dead serious, she says she's actually "really perverted." Having spent her school years isolated, consuming way too much adult relationship content online, plus watching a messy love drama unfold in her theater group, her imagination's gone wild. The whole trip she's been mentally scripting romantic scenarios between Izumi and the other girls.

★ Izumi briefly thinks she's about to confess love, so he's caught off guard when it's actually a confession about her hidden side instead. Still, for Hitomi, even admitting that much takes serious courage. She wants to get closer to him because she believes he won't reject her over it. Izumi accepts her honesty and offers to be someone she can talk to, though he begs her not to turn him into material for her fantasies. She pretends not to hear that last part, tears of relief in her eyes, saying she's glad she could finally "confess" to him.

★ Amane walks out right as she catches that last line. Without context, she assumes Hitomi just confessed her feelings, meaning the girl she personally recruited into their squad just leapfrogged her in one night. That misunderstanding becomes the final blow to her confidence. She quietly slips out of the villa and heads to the rocky part of the shore.

★ Meanwhile, Izumi spends night two with Nanao, who hugs him from behind on the bed, teases him, and complains that Haru beat her to being his first roommate. Even though she always seems calm and supportive of her rivals, she admits she does get jealous too, she wants every one of his firsts to be hers.

★ Their moment gets cut short when Haru shows up saying Amane never came back to the room. Izumi immediately organizes a search, and after Suzuki mentions seeing her head toward the rocky shore, he rushes over and finds Amane sitting alone on the rocks, staring out at the night sea.

★ At first Izumi assumes she just wasn't enjoying the trip. Replaying their earlier conversation, he realizes his comment about her not needing his help anymore probably sounded like he was pushing her away. He apologizes and clarifies that wasn't his intention at all, he just wants her to be able to balance school and career on her own strength. He admits he's also trying to stop running from his family issues and start thinking seriously about his place in SUMIE Group.

★ The talk shifts to the girls who like him. Izumi says he's happy receiving their feelings, but also feels the pressure, unsure if he even deserves to choose one of them, afraid the whole group dynamic will fall apart once he gives an answer. He tells Amane she's the only one he can show this kind of vulnerability to, because he trusts her as his closest friend.

★ Amane almost settles for staying in that safe zone. If she never confesses, she gets to keep being the best friend Izumi confides in, even after Nanao, Hakua, or someone else becomes his girlfriend. She tries convincing herself being his special friend might just suit her better than risking it all.

★ But without knowing the war happening in her head, Izumi keeps piling on compliments. He calls her hardworking, praises her for juggling school and modeling, says she's gotten better at cooking, and that she's beautiful. He even admits that despite Hakua's curry technically tasting better, he actually prefers Amane's homestyle curry and could eat it every day. He even noticed her new nail polish color, something she assumed he'd never pick up on.

★ All those compliments push her feelings past the breaking point. Izumi reassures her that talking to her is genuinely comfortable for him. That's when Amane realizes she can't keep standing beside him while pretending she doesn't love him. She can't stay silent knowing the person she likes has actually been noticing every tiny effort she's made.

★ Driven by feelings she's held back for so long, Amane leans in and kisses Izumi.

★ At that exact moment, Nanao arrives to check on them. Under the moonlight, she witnesses Amane kissing Izumi with her own eyes. For the first time, Nanao's near unshakeable confidence starts to crack. She's always believed she'd win in the end, even while actively helping her rivals move forward. But watching Amane reach a milestone she herself hasn't even gotten to yet makes the light in Nanao's eyes go out.

End of Volume, heroines who've confessed to Izumi:
  1. Nanase Nanao, 2) Shiragiku Hakua, 3) Akeboshi Meina, 4) Sumie Kasumi, 5) Kasuga Haru, 6) Amazaki Amane
    *Iketeru Hitomi (fetish confession)
    *Doumoto Inori (just support role)

That was a glorious backfire.
"I have this gorgeous, busty girl help me get the guy I want"
"Sorry, I had a crush on him since we were children too."

When you think you brought an ally and it turns into a rival instead...
And yet, I'm sure it still won't be enough for the girls to become honest with their feelings.

By any chance would this story would end with a poly ending but still with several losers?

It definitely seems author is doing it that way by avoiding giving some crazy arcs to characters who have less leverage. Yes they all confessed but Haru, Kasumi and Amane are still the weakest out of the 6.

It does seem like the ending is going to be a poly setup between main 3 (Nanao, Hakua, Meina) while the other 3 will just stop at the concubine position. Maybe they would even straight up lose the game.
