Chapter 2009 - Hidden Conspiracy
Haru looked at this little girl, and he could tell that she should be in the 5th or 6th grade of an elementary school student. He let out a sigh and wondered why a lot of girls in this world that had a connection with the plot would be all such young girls.
'If they're a mature woman...'
*Growl!*
"........."
Haru was wondering whether there was any market for a mature woman. "I'm a bit hungry. Why don't we talk while we have lunch first?"
"Th - Thank you, Haru-san..." The girl said with a blush, but even so, the sadness on her face couldn't be hidden at all.
---
While they were eating, Haru looked at the girl and asked, "So what's your name?"
"Yume. My name is Eguchi Yume, Haru-san," Yume said in a low voice and observed Haru, then all the girls around him, thinking that there were really a lot of cute girls around him, which made her a bit overwhelmed.
"Yume?"
"Um." Yume nodded. "Sorry if you think it's a strange, childish name."
"Really? I think that it is a nice name. It's cute."
Yume blushed and felt a bit embarrassed. "R - Really? That makes me happy, even if you're being polite."
"...What's with that stare? You should know my type, right? Don't look at me like that," Haru said in an uncomfortable manner since they thought that he was a lolicon.
Hearing his words, everyone somehow nodded in agreement and knew that Haru didn't have an interest in a little girl like Yume.
"I see... Yume-chan, right? May I ask how did you know Haru? Are you his hidden child?" Rin asked gently.
"Oi! I'm still a teenager!" Even if Haru had children, it wouldn't be as big as Yume.
"Haru, did you forget about Reina?" Rin asked.
"..........." Haru.
"Haru, do you want a child that much?" Mimori asked with a smile.
"........."
Hearing Mimori's words, Haru was glad that Nagisa was still playing with Himeragi and Kanon since this way, Nagisa wouldn't be startled by her mother's foolery. Still, the situation became more and more chaotic, but Haru ignored them and asked, "Yume-chan is it? How did you know me?"
Yume, who was looking at the interaction of the girls around Haru, was quite surprised, but she could see that they were so happy, and then she looked at Haru, who was the man who dated all the girls here. She looked at him, and even though his face was covered in a face mask, she knew that he was so handsome. Still, she knew that he must have something that attracted those girls, which made her quite curious about him. "Um... I have been told by your girlfriend to come toward you when I need help."
"Haru's girlfriend? Which girlfriend?"
Haru hadn't even said anything, but everyone quickly looked at Yume, wondering who the girlfriend that told Yume to ask for his help was.
"Um - Um... it's a tall, beautiful lady. She has a large breast and ties her hair like this." Yume then tried to show a ponytail hairstyle by holding her hair with her hand.
"Sayaka?" Haru frowned and remembered from their last conversation that Sayaka was on a mission. He felt a bit worried about this girl, wondering how this girl had always caused trouble for some reason. He then closed his eyes for a moment, trying to search for Sayaka's position with his ability.
"Um..." Looking at Haru, who suddenly closed his eyes, Yume wasn't sure what to do.
"Yume-chan, lower your voice for a moment. Senpai is searching for Sayaka-san now," Asagi said with a serious expression, and at the same time, she was worried about what was happening to Sayaka, but she knew that Sayaka should be alright since Haru was going to do something about this.
"Huh?" Yume was confused by Asagi's words.
Then Haru found out where Sayaka was, and luckily, he knew that she was alright. She wasn't hurt, but at the same time, he was looking at Yume and wondering who Yume was since Yume gave him a similar smell. "So Yume-chan, can you tell us what is happening?"
"Yes." Yume nodded and told them what was happening. She told them that she escaped from the laboratory with the help of Sayaka and when the situation was quite dire, Sayaka told her to escape by herself and told her to ask for Haru's help.
Hearing Yume's explanation, Haru had to admit that this plot was quite a cliche. The girl was in need of help, and there was an enemy that chased after her. However, before all of that, he needed to know the identity of this girl, and at the same time, he was wondering who was Sayaka's enemy since he knew how strong Sayaka was.
If Himeragi was like a cat, then Sayaka was a gorilla, or rather, Sayaka might be the strongest Sword Shaman in the Lion King Organization, which was why it felt a bit weird when Haru knew that Sayaka had lost to someone.
"What?!" Asagi was startled when she heard Yume's explanation.
As for Yume, after she told her story, she started to cry.
Haru then coaxed her, trying to calm her down, and then she slept because she was quite tired. He carried her and patted her back gently, wondering why a cute girl had always had an unfortunate life.
"What are you going to do, Haru?" Mimori asked with a serious expression.
"Well, let's go back for now and solve this problem soon so we can continue our trip," Haru said.
Asagi, Rin, and Mimori agreed without hesitation, but before that...
"Are you going to let her wear that bikini all the time?" Rin asked.
"Let's buy a lot of cute clothes!" Mimori said excitedly.
"By the way, can we also buy clothes too?" Asagi asked.
"........."
Haru looked at the three women and thought that they didn't take this situation seriously, which made him a bit helpless.
---
Hearing Haru's explanation, Himeragi showed a worried expression. "Is Sayaka-san alright?"
"She should be alright now. I'll help save Sayaka soon, so can you help me to protect Yume-chan?" Haru asked.
"Yes, leave her to me, Senpai." Himeragi nodded without hesitation.
After Kanon, Nagisa, and Himeragi returned, Haru told Himeragi what was happening and didn't expect that there would be trouble with Sayaka.
"Senpai, should I call the Lion King Organization?" Himeragi asked since she was wondering why Sayaka appeared on the Itogami island.
Haru shook his head since he knew that there was no way for the Lion King Organization to tell Himeragi what was happening since her position in the organization wasn't that high, and in the eyes of the executives of that organization, Himeragi's role was just his lover in the eyes of others of this organization.
"Yukina, can I ask you a question?"
"What question, Senpai?" Himeragi asked in confusion.
"If I ask you to betray the organization for me, can you?" Haru asked.
"Wha--?!" Himeragi was stunned, but then she fell into silence. The organization might be the one who had educated and taken care of her from a child, but Haru was the one who gave her the meaning of family. She stared at Haru straight into his eyes and nodded without hesitation. "I can do it for you, Senpai."
Haru smiled and kissed Himeragi's lips.
Himeragi was surprised but also accepted his kiss happily.
As their lips parted, Haru caressed Himeragi's hair gently and said, "Thank you."
Himeragi shook her head and said, "I should be the one who thanks you, Senpai, but I also hope that you won't leave me."
"I won't leave you, so you don't need to worry." Haru looked at Himeragi and had to admit that this girl was so cute now.
"Um." Himeragi rubbed her face against his chest, feeling so comfortable.
"So for now, let's not ask the Lion King Organization and solve this situation by ourselves, alright?"
"Yes, Senpai."
"I'm going to save Sayaka now."
"Yes." Himeragi nodded. "I'll protect this place no matter what!"
"You don't need to get so serious." Haru patted Himeragi's head and said, "Even if someone wants to attack this place, it is also a bit impossible." There was a lot of security and defensive mechanism around the villa, and he knew that they should be alright.
Then after they talked for a moment, Haru went to save Sayaka, and at the same time, he was wondering what was happening since he knew that there was a hidden conspiracy hiding on this BluEly.
