Chapter 1973 - Can You Believe Me?
Hearing Nagisa's request, who asked him to accompany her to meet her childhood friend, Haru didn't agree immediately, but rather he asked who was this childhood friend.
Nagisa didn't mind and quickly showed her childhood friend a photo during her childhood.
"What do you think?" Nagisa looked at Haru with a smile and said, "He's quite handsome, right? His name is Yuuma Tokoyogi." Still, compared to Haru, she felt like Yuuma was still far away.
"Yuuma Tokoyogi, huh?"
Looking at the photo of Nagisa's childhood friend, Haru agreed, which somehow made everyone feel surprised, considering he usually didn't have an interest in the guy, but little did they know that unlike them, he could see what they couldn't see and at the same time, he could also make Nagisa feel happy, so why not?
Haru could also use that time to tour around Itogami Island, considering it was also his first time at the Halloween Festa. Everyone was also quite excited since they were about to take his first time.
Then it was time to meet the childhood friends of both Nagisa and Kojou.
Not only Haru, who decided to come, but all the girls beside him also decided to come, and Yaze also decided to come. Looking at Yaze, who was also joining them, he knew that he would do something sorry for Yaze's family in the future if their family dared to cause him trouble, considering Yaze's family had considerable power on the Itogami Island since Yaze's father was the governor of the Itogami island.
As for Yaze, Haru knew that Yaze was a member of the Lion King Organization and his task was to observe Kojou, but since Kojou had become a normal human, there was no need to observe Kojou anymore, and he could see how hard Yaze tried to get close to him, though, he really didn't have an interest in Yaze.
"Hey, why are you all here?!" Kojou looked at a group of people, and he was lost for words, but if someone looked closely at him, they could see that he was very happy that everyone could join him to meet his childhood friend.
"Isn't it fine? I have invited them!" Nagisa said without hesitation since she wanted to introduce everyone to his childhood friend.
"Right, can you show me your friend's photo?" Yaze asked since he hadn't seen Yuuma's photo.
"Here!" Nagisa happily showed a photo of herself with Kojou and Yuuma on her phone.
"Wow, what a handsome man," Yaze said in surprise.
"Still, it feels weird to know that Kojou has such a childhood friend," Asagi said with a strange expression.
"Shut up!" Kojou was annoyed, but at the same time, he felt relief when he thought his relationship with everyone had become normal.
"But I don't understand why you want to accompany them, Haru," Rin said with a confused expression since, according to her knowledge, Haru had never had an interest in a handsome guy, or rather, this guy didn't have any interest to talk with a guy unless it was necessary, so she was quite confused by his intention to come to this meeting.
Kanon and Himeragi also looked at Haru curiously.
"Didn't Nagisa invite me? Why should I reject her invitation?" Haru said in a perfunctory manner, wondering when Yuuma Tokoyogi was going to come.
"How fishy..." Asagi looked at Haru, squinting her eyes, and said, "You must be hiding something. There must be a reason why you decide to come to meet the childhood friends of both Nagisa-chan and Kojou."
"Why are you so persistent? Can you believe me?" Haru asked with a speechless expression.
"No!"
The girls said at the same time since they knew this guy's personality well.
Haru looked helplessly at them before he changed the topic of the conversation naturally.
As for Kojou and Yaze, they realized once Haru started to talk, the girls started to ignore them, which made them helpless.
The girls didn't care much about Kojou and Yaze and kept persisting with him to tell them the real reason why Haru decided to meet Yuuma Tokoyogi, but Nagisa was annoyed and quickly said, "Hey, why didn't you want Haru to accompany me to meet my childhood friend?!" She was quite pleased when Haru decided to accompany her, but everyone's reaction was too much, which made her annoyed!
"Nagisa-chan, you can't blame us too much," Himeragi said with an awkward expression.
"Well, Onii-san is...." Even Kanon also understood that Haru had never had an interest in a guy, which was why she was also confused at the reason why Haru suddenly wanted to meet Nagisa's childhood friend.
"Haru, do you feel something weird about Yuu-chan?" Nagisa then looked at Haru, wondering what this guy had found out.
Haru let out a sigh and said, "Well, I do find something interesting."
"Huh?!" Everyone was dumbfounded, but in their faces, they showed an "as expected" expression. There was no way for Haru to have an interest in a guy, and they knew that there must be another reason why Haru decided to accompany Nagisa to meet this Yuuma Tokoyogi.
As for coming to the Halloween Festa, they could visit it themselves without both Yaze and Kojou since they were unfamiliar with the two of them. Kojou and Yaze might be classmates of both Haru, Asagi, and Rin, and even Kanon and Himeragi also knew about them, but even so, their relationship was only like that. They only knew their names, and they didn't know much about them.
The reason why the harem protagonist could become a harem protagonist was that they had an ability to be on the side of the heroines during their crisis or their most vulnerable moment, so they would cause the heroines to be crazy about them. Even if the harem protagonist was dull, oblivious, and also had a bad temper, the girls would be crazy about them, and at the end of the story, they would get all the harem.
However, with Haru joining them, their chance of getting the girls would become zero, considering they were dull and oblivious.
Haru knew that Kojou had a harem protagonist setting, considering Kojou had a little sister, parents that had never been at home, a beautiful classmate, and also a childhood friend. It was the most cliche setting of the harem protagonist, so he could easily tell the real identity of Yuuma Tokoyogi.
Still, when Haru thought of Kojou, he couldn't help but think of Ichika Orimura, who was also his classmate in the past and the same as Ichika, he knew that Kojou would become his brother-in-law or stepson in the future.
Haru was about to answer them, however...
"Kojou!"
Hearing someone called Kojou, they quickly turned, and they saw a very beautiful girl walking toward them with a smile.
"........."
They then turned their attention toward Haru, looking at Haru, and understood the reason why Haru decided to join Nagisa at this moment.
