Chapter 1918 - Himeragi Is The Protagonist?
Walking out from Natsuki's room, Haru saw Himeragi and asked, "Are you done with the transfer procedure?'
"Yes, thank you, Senpai," Himeragi said while looking inside the room curiously.
"Well, should we go to buy something for your daily necessities?" Haru asked.
"Yes, please." Himeragi nodded.
In truth, Haru thought that Himeragi could buy her things from an online store, but in the end, he didn't say anything and felt that it might be good to buy something while walking together. "Well, let's go. I'll also guide you around the city."
"Yes!" Himeragi nodded, but then she realized something and her face turned red. 'Is - Is this a date?'
"Hmm, what's wrong, Himeragi?" Haru asked.
"No - Nothing!" Himeragi said while blushing.

When everyone was on their holiday, Kojou was stuck in the remedial class with an old guy teacher. Looking at the teacher that explained the problem, he couldn't help but sigh, but then he looked outside of the window and saw both Haru and Himeragi walking together. "Damn, who is that?" Even though he didn't say much, he was quite jealous of Haru, but what could he do now?
"Akatsuki, listen to me!"
"Yes - Yes!"

While walking together, both Haru and Himeragi were having fun together. However, while dating, he used his power, which he got from the 5th familiar of the fourth primogenitor, and used the electromagnetic waves and combined it with "Kenbunshoku Haki" to search the people who had caused the accident that Natsuki had told him.
With this ability, Haru could detect every person on this island directly, and nothing would escape his detection. In other words, on this island, no one could hide someone or anything from him.
Haru thought about Kuroneko, who had the power of lightning and couldn't help but sigh at her development, but he didn't think too much since there were a lot of people who could protect her, and more importantly, he needed to think about his mission.
In truth, Haru was quite excited when he learned what had happened since he knew that the trouble was coming. He wasn't sure what was the purpose of those people, but then when he found out a pair of an old man and a small girl, who happened to be homunculus, he knew that it was them.
Looking at Himeragi, who was so excited about her surroundings, Haru wasn't in a hurry and thought to enjoy their date first. However, he knew that he needed to talk with them later since he wanted to know what their intention was. He then used his "Elemental Sight" to focus on both the old man and the small girl, trying to figure out who they were before he tried to search the data of those two people on the network.
"Senpai, what is that?" Himeragi asked excitedly.
"Hmm? Well, how about we see it there," Haru said.
"Yes!" Rather than observing the fourth progenitor, Himeragi was having fun with the fourth progenitor. Still, if the people from the Lion King Organization knew what she was doing, they would be more than happy since their intention to send Himeragi was...

As they played around for a while, they knew that their intention to go out was to buy some necessities for Himeragi since there was something that she needed to buy, so they went to the hypermarket to buy various things that she needed.
They entered the hypermarket and brought the shopping cart to buy various things, but as expected, it might be because it was Himeragi's first time to be here that she couldn't help but take a lot of things that interested her.
"Senpai, what is this weapon called?" Himeragi asked with some excitement. "It looks like a mace of some kind."
"..." Haru had seen a lot of girls, so he wasn't that surprised by Himeragi's excitement over the golf club, but for her to mistake it with a weapon... 'Well, she isn't wrong to call it a weapon.' After all, a golf club could also be called a weapon in the zombie apocalypse or something. "No, that's just a golf club. You use it for sports."
"I see... Is it?" Himeragi was in a daze and somehow felt a bit disappointed.
'Why are you disappointed?' Haru didn't say it out loud.
However, after a moment of loss, Himeragi quickly regained her excitement and took another thing that interested her. "Then, what about this heavy equipment that looks like a flame thrower?"
"It's a pressure washer. You use it to wash cars and stuff," Haru said with a smile. "Well, you can use it as a weapon if you tinker it a bit."
"Really?" Himeragi was surprised.
"It won't be like a flame thrower that burns everything, but with that thing, you can cut a lot of things with water pressure," Haru said.
"Hmm..." Himeragi looked at the pressure washer in deep thought.
Haru patted Himeragi's head and said, "You don't need to buy it. You're going to waste your money."
Himeragi blushed, then swept Haru's hand away. "Senpai, I've noticed it for a while, but why do you treat me like a kid?"
"If you're a few years older, then I'll treat you like a woman," Haru said and left. He really regretted that Himeragi was too young, and if she was several years older, then without hesitation, he would eat her. But there was no "if" in this world, and he could only try to tease her from time to time, and even if he was a hungry beast, he wouldn't attack a middle school unless he was a middle school student too. 'Hmm... should I become a middle school student?' He had the ability to change his age anyway, so he didn't see any harm in it.
"Wh --?!" Himeragi's face was so red, and she couldn't believe what she had heard, but she quickly chased after him. "Senpai, what do you mean by that?!"
Haru looked at Himeragi with a smile and said, "Oh, it can mean anything, right? Or are you thinking something lewd now?"
"Sen - Senpai!!!"

After they ended their shopping, Haru looked at Himeragi, who was pouting. "Sorry, sorry, how about you forgive me soon, Himeragi?" He then looked at the side and said, "Look, there's an ice cream there. Do you want me to buy it for you?"
"Senpai!" Himeragi pouted since she felt that Haru had never treated her as a girl!
Himeragi wanted to say something, but when Haru stood right in front of her, stood straight while looking straight into her eyes, she couldn't move for a while since she could see that his eyes were the eyes of a man.
Haru smiled and patted her head. "You're still in middle school. Wait till you have graduated from there." He then walked to the ice cream stall on the side and asked, "So what flavor do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
"Hmmm..." Himeragi touched her head and thought that it was what it felt like to have an older brother, but she wanted to be treated something more.
"Himeragi, what are you doing?"
"Wait for me, Senpai!"
Himeragi quickly chased after him with a smile on her face.

As they walked around, Himeragi noticed that the sky had turned dark, and somehow she felt a bit restless. "Um, Senpai, is it alright to come out late like this?"
"Well, no one is stopping us anyway..." Haru then looked at his uniform and said, "Well, it might be good if we wear different clothes since wearing a uniform will make us be targeted by a teacher." He knew how strict the rules of the school were, but there were no rules that could bind him anyway, so what was he afraid about?
"Eh? Should we change our clothes?" Himeragi was surprised.
"Well, you don't need to. I was just saying, you don't need to think too much," Haru said.
Himeragi nodded, but then while walking, her eyes suddenly attracted to something.
"What's wrong?" Haru asked.
"Sorry, it's nothing!" Himeragi said with a blush, but her eyes kept staring at the crane game that was placed on the street.
"Oh? Nekomatan, huh?" Haru said while looking at the crane game inside.
"Senpai, you know Nekomatan?" Himeragi was surprised.
Haru nodded and asked, "Well, you know my company, right?"
"Um, the Black Clover Group, right?" Before Himeragi came to the Itogami Island to become Haru's observer, she had been given all the information regarding the fourth primogenitor, including the Black Clover Group, which was a huge corporation that was built with just a few months of time. However, what attracted her wasn't the huge revenue of this company, but rather...
"Senpai, if I'm not wrong, your company owns the IP (Intellectual Property) of Nekomatan, right?" Himeragi asked with shining eyes.
"Yes." Haru nodded and said, "If you want, I can give you all of the Nekomatan merchandise if you want."
"Really?!" Himeragi was very excited at that moment.
"Yes." Haru nodded and said, "But before that, how about I give you a gift before we return." He used a coin and put it on the machine before he used the crane to grab the Nekomatan doll.
"Huh? Senpai, aren't you ---" The words that came from Himeragi's mouth stopped when she saw Haru had caught two Nekomatan dolls at the same time.
*Plop!*
Haru took two Nekomatan dolls that he had caught and gave them to Himeragi. "For you."
"Re - Really?" Himeragi asked with some expectation.
"Sure." Haru nodded and said, "Take it."
"Thank you, Senpai!" Himeragi said with a sweet smile, however...
*BOOOOOOM!*
The sudden explosion caused the ground to tremble and Himeragi to lose her balance, but Haru quickly caught her. "Are you alright, Himeragi?"
"Ah, ye - yes, thank you, Senpai!" Himeragi said with a blush, but then her expression became serious. "But, what's happening?" She knew that that explosion wasn't something that happened because of an accident. Rather, it might be a terrorist or something.
"Well, let's check it." Haru had expected for the two of them to move, but this was too fast, right?
Looking at Himeragi, Haru was wondering whether this girl was the protagonist of this world?
