Daily Life

Looking at the announcement board, Yuriko and Runa felt that they had a toothache. Looking at the young man who got a perfect score and rank one on the entire grade, they weren't sure what to say.

However, in their minds, life was very unfair.

"What's wrong?" Haru asked while looking at both girls.

"Nothing." Runa snorted and said, "Say, why don't you give us a mortal a chance to show our power?"

Yuriko didn't say anything, but she agreed with Runa's words.

Haru was the richest man on earth and he was also the smartest man in the school, or might be in the entire high school in this country.

It was impossible to defeat him in terms of wealth, but it should be possible to defeat him through academic achievement, right?

It was what they were thinking all along, however, Haru's academic achievement was also something that couldn't be reached by mortal.

"You don't need to think too much." Haru looked at Runa and said, "Even if your score on the exam is good, what's the use of it? You'll inherit your family business after all."

Yuriko and Runa didn't say much, but they knew that Haru was right.

For those who were coming from rich families, they didn't really put their eyes on academic achievements, or rather it was rather unimportant in their eyes.

The one that needed an academic achievement was someone from a lower and middle-class family since without an academic achievement, they wouldn't be able to change their fate.

It was cruel, but it was reality.

It is very unfair.

"In truth, you don't need to care much about academic achievement," Haru said.

"Why?" Yuriko asked.

"Let me tell you a secret," Haru suddenly said.

"What is it?"

Yuriko and Runa looked at Haru curiously.

"Smart women are unpopular," Haru said.

"......."

Yuriko and Runa opened their mouths before they closed them once again since that was the truth.

In society, those women with smart minds and perfect careers were really unpopular since most men didn't really like it when their women were smarter than them, though, there had always been an exception.

"Hmph! I won't marry such a petty-minded man!" Runa said without hesitation.

"Yes, I agree." Yuriko nodded and said, "We, women, need to be smart so you, men, won't fool us all along."

"That's true, I also like smart women." Haru nodded."

Runa and Yuriko were dumbfounded and asked, "Then why did you say that a smart woman is unpopular?!"

"Yes, but there's always an exception, right? Not all men are petty-minded after all," Haru said.

"......."

Runa and Yuriko stared at Haru and felt that it would be wonderful if they didn't know that he was Kirari's fiance.

"Pretty interesting conversation you had there."

The three of them turned their heads and saw Kirari, Ririka, and Sayaka walking together.

"If a smart woman is unpopular, then Sayaka won't marry be married, right?" Kirari asked Sayaka with a smile.

"Hmph!" Sayaka snorted and said, "I won't marry in the future, I will be with Kirari-sama all the time!"

"......"

Everyone looked at Sayaka with a strange expression.

Sayaka also noticed a change in their expression and became confused. "What?"

Kirari chuckled and said, "Haru, your fiancee is going to be robbed by another girl, what are you going to do?"

Haru rubbed his nose and wanted to say that he would also let Sayaka join them, but if he said so, he was sure that he would be slapped. It might be possible to say that kind of thing in private, but they were in a public place.

Then he immediately...

Haru hugged Kirari and looked at Sayaka with a guarded expression.

"I won't let you Sayaka!"

Sayaka instantly understood what they were talking about, her face blushed and she became flustered.

"That's... That's not what I mean!!!"

Even though Kirari wanted to stay with Kirari all the time, it didn't mean she swung that way, especially when Kirari already had a fiance, and secretly, she also dreamed of that fiance during her sleep.

Everyone laughed together and didn't notice that there was someone who was looking at them gloomily.

Inside the shrine, all the members of Muse and Haru gathered together after they had gone back from the school. They looked at each other and their expression seemed to be like they had constipation.

Haru twitched his lips and asked, "Can you tell me already the score of your exam?" He would be lying if he didn't get nervous to know the exam result of all the members of Muse, especially the three idiots.

Being stared at by Haru, Rin, Honoka, and Nico felt offended.

"What's with that stare, nyaa?!"

"Yes, we have also studied very hard!"

"Do you think that we're idiots?!"

Hearing the words of Rin, Honoka, and Nico, no one was surprised by Haru's stare since the three of them were the ones that made them always worried.

"I am sorry, but how is your exam?" Haru asked.

Everyone looked at each other before they smiled together.

"We passed!" 9x

The nine members of Muse showed their scores at the same time, showing that no one had failed on the exam.

"That's great..."

Haru let out a sigh of relief, hearing their words.

"Now, what you need to do is to prepare for the concert during the School Tour Day."

Everyone nodded and knew that the concert during the School Tour Day would be very important for them since it would determine whether their school could continue to exist or not.

In truth, Haru wasn't surprised when Otonokizaka High School would abolish, considering there were a lot of private schools that kept appearing one after another and coupled with the falling birth rates.

But then again, they were working hard to stop the abolishment of Otonokizaka High School from happening.

"The concert will be held in three days, right?" Haru asked.

"Yes." Umi nodded and said, "You will come, right?"

Everyone stared at their producer.

"Of course, I am your producer after all." Haru nodded without hesitation.

"That's good!" Honoka then stood up and said, "Now, we need to work hard on our concert!"

"Yeah!" 8x

"Let's start counting!"

Honoka: "One!"

Kotori: "Two!"

Umi: "Three!"

Hanayo: "Four!"

Rin: "Five!"

Maki: "Six!"

Nico: "Seven!"

Nozomi: "Eight!"

Eli: Nine!"

The nine of them stood up and gathered their hands together, shouting each of their numbers one by one until...

"......."

*Stare!*

The nine of them stared at Haru, who was sitting on the tatami floor with a dumbfounded expression.

"Do I have to do it too?"

*Stare!*

"........"

Haru then stood up and put his hand together too.

"Ten."

"Yay!" 9x

The nine girls smiled happily and had made up their minds to show the best concert during School Tour Day.

Haru also smiled, looking at the nine of them until Nozomi whispered something to his ear.

"Don't you feel tempted to have the nine of us?"

"...."

Looking at Nozomi who was on his side, smiling and pressing her body tightly to him, Haru was dumbfounded and at the same time, he had to admit that it was very tempting, but his moral...

Well, he wasn't sure whether he had a moral in his heart anymore.

After talking with the rest of Muse, Haru was in his house, and in front of him, there were Sora, Megumi, Utaha, and Eriri, sitting together on the floor with serious expression since they were about to talk about the development of their game.
