Let's start our date

Today is a holiday, and it's the study schedule for the Nakano sisters, but it's different from their usual study activities.

This time, they are studying at Kaoru's house, and there are a few other people joining them.

The first is a girl with long blue hair, a very beautiful face, and an aura of a 'Yamato Nadeshiko.' This girl is named Furuhashi Fumino, a genius in literature but interested in mathematics.

Next is a short girl with brown hair and glasses. If Kaoru were to comment on her strengths, it would definitely be her assets that are quite unreasonable for a high school girl. This girl is named Ogata Rizu, also one of Mafuyu's students.

Lastly, a girl with brown skin, pink hair, and an 'ahoge.' This girl is named Takemoto Uruka, and she is a highly skilled swimmer. When Kaoru saw her, he briefly thought of pulling and removing her ahoge in the hope that the girl would transform into an alter mode or the other way around.

On the Nakano sisters' side, there are already Ichika, Nino, Miku, and Itsuki. Yotsuba is not present because Ichika intentionally let Yotsuba study alone with Fuutarou. She knew that Yotsuba had feelings for Fuutarou, especially when she realized Yotsuba had met Fuutarou when they were kids.

Initially, Ichika wanted Itsuki to study with Fuutarou too, but considering his family's difficult situation, Ichika was unsure if Fuutarou could afford to provide Itsuki with meals that were far above average.

In addition, with Yotsuba being the first to meet Fuutarou, Ichika didn't want Itsuki to experience heartbreak if Fuutarou rejected her. She didn't know why, but Ichika had a feeling that Fuutarou would choose Yotsuba if Itsuki joined the competition for Fuutarou.

Therefore, Ichika invited all her sisters except Yotsuba to study with Kaoru. She also didn't mind if her sisters fell for Kaoru. As a model, Ichika had a habit of researching information about everyone she would meet, and Kaoru was no exception.

So even if they all fell for Kaoru, the excuse of not having enough wealth to support them would undoubtedly be useless. Moreover, how could a person much wealthier than their father not afford to support them if such a relationship really happened?

Unaware of Ichika's plan, Kaoru had to be prepared to find a way to change the law in Japan to allow polygamy if Ichika's plan succeeded.

 ------

Kaoru's closeness with the Nakano sisters continued to grow over time, and now three genius students had joined as well.

Initially, the relationship between the three students and the Nakano sisters wasn't too good because they felt that the three girls were stealing their study time with Kaoru. However, as time passed and they got to know each other, they gradually became close friends.

A week had passed, and today was the scheduled date between Kaoru and Ichika.

Kaoru, who understood etiquette well, intentionally arrived earlier than their agreed-upon time.

Not waiting too long, Kaoru saw Ichika running towards him. Today, she was wearing a white one-piece dress with yellow flower patterns.

"Sorry for being late. Did you wait too long?"

"No, I just arrived too!" Kaoru replied, reaching out his hand.

Ichika, seeing this, smiled sweetly.

Kaoru had to admit that Ichika was one of the most beautiful heroines who wasn't focused on fan service. With her slightly yandere personality, Ichika became even more intriguing.

And Kaoru wasn't too afraid of Ichika's yandere nature. He now had a sugar mommy with a brain disorder who wouldn't hesitate to destroy the universe just because she was bored.

Ichika accepted Kaoru's extended hand, and Kaoru immediately led her to their date location, unaware that there were some people following them.

(A/N: Aww, these kids are quite daring, holding hands in public!)

"Wow, I didn't expect Ichika to be on a date with Makoto-kun! Hey, Nino, did you know from the beginning?"

"Hmph, how would I know! It's true he's handsome, but he's too handsome. You know, I feel a bit inferior if I have to be with him. And I didn't expect Ichika's type to be someone like that!" Nino replied a bit curtly.

"But Kaoru is really nice and smart."

"Miku, for you, anyone who understands the history of wartime must be a good and smart person, right?" Nino retorted.

"Ehh? How can—?" Miku was surprised that her hobby was known by Nino.

"Let's talk about it later! Miku, Nino, let's go now, let's follow them."

 ------

On this date, Kaoru took Ichika to an amusement park. They played together, starting from shooting games, visiting haunted houses, eating ice cream together, riding marry-go-round, and finally going on a Ferris wheel together.

They were currently on the Ferris wheel, and of course, taking advantage of his connections and wealth, stopping the Ferris wheel for a while, while they were at the top wasn't a difficult task for Kaoru.

Initially, Kaoru wanted to relax and enjoy their relationship slowly, following the flow. However, with the presence of the MHG, Kaoru felt the urgency to establish a relationship, as he didn't know when he would die while on a mission because he doesn't want to die as a sage.

Perfectly coinciding with Ichika's presence, the girl he liked since his old world when Ichika was just a heroine in a story, Kaoru chose not to waste any more time and take action.

As the Ferris wheel stopped right when Kaoru and Ichika were at the top, with the sunset in the background, Kaoru gathered his courage.

"Hey, Ichika! I want to say something."

Ichika, who could already imagine what Kaoru wanted to say, smiled and eagerly waited to hear it.

"Yes?"

"I know this is silly and too simple, but I don't want to beat around the bush. Ichika, I like you. It's true that we've known each other for a short time, but I've liked you from the beginning. If you ask me why, I'm not sure myself. In short, I've liked you since our first meeting, so I want you to be my girlfriend. Are you willing?"

Hearing such a straightforward confession, Ichika couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Hahahaha! Your confession is really bad, Kaoru-kun. I didn't expect you to be bad at this. I thought you'd have a lot of experience with a face like that, but it's okay. The answer is yes; I'm willing to be your girlfriend, Kaoru-kun!"

Ichika gave her answer with a smile and a blushing face. She had received confessions from guys before, but she found Kaoru's simple and awkward confession more valuable than any romantic gestures.

Ichika wasn't too naive and knew what would happen next after the confession, so she closed her eyes and awaited.

On the other side, Kaoru, aware of Ichika's expectations, moved closer to her.

Their faces got closer, and eventually, their lips met.

Although Ichika was ready for it, she was still surprised by what happened, so she opened her eyes. What she saw was Kaoru's eyes very close to hers, glittering. Feeling embarrassed, Ichika chose to close her eyes again and enjoy the moment.

Their kiss lasted for some time, and when Kaoru let go of Ichika, he saw her blushing and happy. To ease the embarrassment, Kaoru immediately contacted the people he hired.

In an instant, fireworks appeared in the sky, and Ichika's attention was drawn to them. Unconsciously, she was still holding hands with Kaoru.

After the fireworks ended, the Ferris wheel started moving again, and Kaoru and Ichika began to descend.

With the day ending, their date also ended, and this time, Kaoru and Ichika's relationship had changed into that of a couple.

After escorting Ichika home, even though Kaoru didn't want to waste time, it didn't mean he was a person who only thought with the lower part of his body. Kaoru chose to be patient because with Ichika as his girlfriend, he could immediately go to her father to propose to Ichika if he want. However, Kaoru understood that Ichika might not be ready for that yet, so he would be patient.

Right after escorting Ichika home, Kaoru returned to his house.

Upon arriving home, Kaoru decided to invite that man to join the guild. With him in the guild, the chances of Kaoru and the others surviving would increase dramatically.

Kaoru was confident that the man would be a valuable friend and a formidable opponent. Therefore, Kaoru wanted to invite him early before they received a mission to that world.

If he was lucky, Kaoru might also gain new powers. Although he was already a true Herrscher, Kaoru could see that Honkai energy and chakra were slowly descending into his world. If Kaoru didn't become strong quickly, he was afraid that there would be monsters with mixed powers of Honkai energy and chakra that would undoubtedly be much stronger than chakra or Honkai beasts.

Kaoru immediately opened the guild system and selected the new menu 'invite.' He quickly entered the name of the person he wanted to invite.

Without hesitation, Kaoru typed [Kisuke Urahara] in the target name column.

After pressing the send button, at the same time, five invitations were also sent to various universes.

Not waiting long, Kaoru and the other guild members received notifications about the six new guild members.

[Congratulations! The Candy Shop Owner has joined!]

[Congratulations! The Greatest Alchemist has joined!]

[Congratulations! The Lord of Save & Load has joined!]

[Congratulations! The Office Worker has joined!]

[Congratulations! The Bear has joined!]

[Congratulations! The God Tongue has joined!]

The next notification also appeared, informing that there was a message in the guild chat.

[Candy Shop Owner: Oya oya! What an interesting program. Hello, is anyone here? Does anyone want to buy candy?]

[Lord Save & Load: Hey, is it true that I can get powers here? I'm tired of dying repeatedly, you know!]

[Lord Save & Load: Ehh? I can say that I can come back from death? Wow, cool, amazing!]

[The Greatest Alchemist: Hey, what is this group? And why is suddenly this iron plate appear in front of me? How do I use it? I'm confused. Hello, can anyone help me?]

Kaoru immediately replied to each of them, and he also told them to rest because in his world, it was already quite late. Kaoru also had a bit of understanding about why the other three didn't speak, even though there was one name he didn't know and was a bit hesitant to guess.

 ------

While Kaoru and Ichika were on their date, there were a few people following them.

And when Kaoru kissed Ichika, one of them couldn't hide the shocked expression.

"Wow, how lewd, they're really bold! They're very shameless!" The blue-haired girl quickly put down her binoculars and protested to her friends.

"Oh, come on, Fuminochi. Seeing that, they're obviously a couple now. Of course, a kiss is a normal thing for a couple."

"Enough, enough, their date is over. Let's go now; we still have school tomorrow!"

One by one, those who followed Kaoru and Ichika began to go to their respective homes, but they felt something unpleasant.

They didn't understand why they felt that way, but after seeing Kaoru and Ichika kissing, they felt a bit uneasy.

However, as friends and sisters, they all chose to forget it and move on.
