837 Outing

Gotanda Eatery.

Ichika and his close friend, Dan Gotanda, were playing a game together.

"How is your life in the academy?" Dan asked.

"It's alright. It's quite peaceful," Ichika answered.

"But you really had a great time, huh? You're one of the only two guys in that academy," Dan said.

"I'm not."

"Lies, all lies!"

Dan nudged Ichika's side. "Just reading your e-mail makes me imagine paradise. Don't you have a pass for me to enter?"

"No, you idiot, but it's great that I'm not the only guy in that academy, and Rin has also transferred in," Ichika said.

"Hmm, Rin, eh?" Dan thought for a while and asked, "How about the other guy? Is he creating a harem or something?"

"Harem? What the hell is that? Everyone is a friend, and there's no such thing."

Ichika had never heard that Haru had made a girlfriend in the academy and he also didn't think that Haru had made a girlfriend since everyone was close to each other. He also thought as Haru's friend, he knew that Haru would tell him if Haru really made a girlfriend at the academy.

"Hmm..."

Dan looked at Ichika and wondered how dense this guy was, but at the same time, he was wondering what the other guy was going in the academy when Ichika had left the academy leaving this guy alone in the academy. He was about to say something, but suddenly the door was kicked open.

"Big Bro, lunch is ready!!!"

---

Rin was about to ask Ichika to go out with her, and also wanted to ask a question about Haru since she wanted to see whether she could find his weakness, but Ichika had gone out and left her behind.

"That Ichika....?!" Rin was very annoyed.

"Oh, Rin-san, what are you doing?"

Rin turned and saw Cecilia and Houki. "I'm going to get Ichika, what about you?"

"Oh, I'm going to get Haru," Cecilia answered.

Houki didn't say anything and looked at Rin with an expressionless expression.

"Hmm, you're that guy's woman?" Rin asked Cecilia.

"W - Well..." Cecilia blushed when she heard Rin's question, but when she wanted to nod.....

"I guess not, huh?" Rin shook her head when she saw Cecilia's reaction.

"Are you asking for a fight?!" Cecilia was mad and said, "Well, I won't bother with you anymore. I'll get Haru for a bit." She knocked Haru's room and called. "Haru, are you there? Let's go out together!"

*Knock!* *Knock!*

"..."

But no one answered Cecilia.

"Well...?"

"He isn't there?" Houki asked.

"Let me check his phone." Cecilia took her phone and called him. It didn't take a long time before she was answered.

"Hello, Cecilia, what's wrong?"

"Haru, where are you?" Cecilia asked.

"I'm outside the academy. I might come back quite late," Haru answered.

"Oh, is that so...." Cecilia was a bit sad.

"Do you want anything? I can buy you a souvenir or something when I go back later?" Haru asked.

"N - No, I won't bother you..." Cecilia said, but she was happy being cared for.

"Then, what do you want to eat tonight? I can cook you anything you want," Haru asked.

"T - Then, I want curry!"

"Got it, come to my room later at night."

"Yes!"

"...."

Houki and Rin who heard their conversation couldn't help but frown since they could clearly tell that this girl was flaunting how close the relationship between her and Haru was. Though, at the same time, that plan was successful since they were very jealous of Cecilia, especially when they thought how dense Ichika was.

"Hmm, curry, huh? I guess I don't mind trying it." Rin suddenly appeared beside Cecilia and said through Cecilia's phone,

"Yeah, cook it for us too, Haru." Houki also joined.

"H - Huh? What are you doing?! I've never invited either of you!" Cecilia looked at both of them with displeasure.

"I'm asking Kasugano, not you!"

"Yeah, Haru, I'll come to your room too at night!"

The three girls started to fight each other when the phone was connected.

---

Haru looked at his phone and twitched his lips before hung the call. Putting his phone inside his pocket, he looked at the women beside him and said, "Sorry to make you wait."

Chifuyu folded her arms and squinted her eyes. "You sure are very popular." She didn't say anything, but she was quite surprised when she heard the voice of Houki and Rin since she knew that both of them loved her little brother.

"We're only friends," Haru answered simply.

"Friend, huh? Then, you don't mind for me to join you tonight?" Chifuyu asked.

"Welcome," Haru said with a smile.

Chifuyu nodded and knew that the food which was being made by Haru was very delicious. If she got another chance then she wanted to eat his food again.

"So is there somewhere that you want to buy after this?" She had promised him to accompany him to buy the necessary things which he needed in the academy.

Chifuyu wore a cap since she was afraid someone from the school might see them since she didn't want them to misunderstand their relationship.

"It's done. Let's eat, I'll treat you."

"Alright, what are we eating?"

"Are you alright with ramen, Sensei?"

"Ramen, huh....?" Chifuyu thought about the store which she usually went to during her academy time. "Good, let's have ramen. I know a good shop."

"Alright, tell me where it is."

Both of them walked together, Haru asked about Chifuyu's experience in the academy, especially about her teacher's career and asking whether she had received a love letter from a girl.

Chifuyu told him a lot of things and funny things which she happened to see before. She also told him that being a lesbian was a normal thing in the academy which made him speechless.

Both of them talked while laughing as if they were two male friends.

It took them 20 minutes before they arrived at the ramen shop.

Both of them entered the ramen shop together and they were being greeted by the boss of the shop.

"Oh, Orimura-sensei." The old lady greeted Chifuyi and it seemed she knew her.

"Boss, give me a private room."

"Got it."

Haru followed Chifuyu and entered the private room in this ramen shop. The shop was quite similar to a pub rather than a ramen shop.

"There are a lot of things here and not only ramen," Chifuyu said.

Haru took the menu and saw a variety of things. He also saw a lot of weird menu items which made him smile. "It's an interesting shop."

"Right?"

"Have you come with your boyfriend before?" Haru asked.

"...."

Chifuyu frowned and looked at him with a gloomy expression. "If you're going to tease your teacher again, then I'll knock you up later."

Haru was a bit surprised and then he quickly sighed. "

I guess the male in this world doesn't have eyes since you're so charming, Sensei."

Chifuyu snorted and didn't know whether she should cry or laugh when she was being teased by her student. "Well, so you have eyes?"

"Of course, if you can wait for me graduate and you're still single, then let's get married, Sensei." Haru joked.

"If you can joke around, then you should use your mouth to order something. I'm starving!" Chifuyu looked at the menu book and ordered a lot of things then she looked at him with a smile. "You're going to treat me, right?"

'This woman....'

Haru knew that Chifuyu wanted to tease him, and nodded. "Yeah, you don't need to worry."

Chifuyu squinted her eyes and asked, "Where did you get your money?"

"Government gives me some pocket money and I've used to invest it here and there."

"Hmm, here and there..."

Chifuyu thought that Haru would use his hacking ability to steal some money here and there, but it seemed that he had more talent which he didn't show to everyone. She looked at him and had to admit that this guy was a perfect candidate for her husband, but this guy was too fancy and there were a lot of girls around him.

"Sensei, since you've brought me here, don't you have something to ask me?" Haru asked.

"Hoo... you sure are sharp." Chifuyu smiled hearing his question.

"I don't mind answering your question, Sensei. But can I have a request?" Haru asked.

"What?"

"Let's make it more interesting."

"How?" Chifuyu looked at him curiously.

"Have you heard about Truth or Dare?" Haru asked.

"Truth or Dare?" Chifuyu raised her eyebrow.

"You don't know?" Haru asked.

Chifuyu shook her head.

"Then, let me explain while I prepare the game...." Haru took out a deck of cards from his zipper storage very quickly and shuffled the card.

"First off, there are 10 rounds. You're not allowed to quit partway. You choose whichever card you like and the one with the highest number of cards wins. Got it?"

"Yeah."

Haru started to play and his card number was higher than Chifuyu. "Okay, I win."

"...."

Chifuyu wasn't sure, but she felt that she had been trapped by his pace.

"I'll ask you "truth or dare," so start off by replying "truth"."

"Truth." Chifuyu followed his instructions and wondered what this guy was about to do. She took her glass of beer and drank it slowly.

"Okay, to start off...." Haru thought for a while and asked, "Sensei, are you lesbian?"

Chifuyu almost released all of the beer in her mouth when she heard that question. She twitched her lips and said, "What's that question?!"

"If you have won the highest card then I'll also answer any of your questions," Haru said.

"...."

Chifuyu was silent.

"So do you want to partake in this game?" Haru asked with a smile.

Chifuyu took a deep breath and calmed herself. She was a bit embarrassed, but she answered, "No. I'm normal."

Haru smiled and said, "Then, I have a chance in the future."

Chifuyu snorted and said, "You're too early for that!" She put her glass on the table and said, "Let's continue! You can't quit no matter what!!!"

"Alright, alright, I'm happy that you're enjoying the game. Let's continue, Sensei."

Both of them were eating the dishes which had been served while playing the "Truth or Dare" game, but Chifuyu had asked him a lot of weird questions such as whether he was a "homo" or not? Was the thing on his lower body real or not? And a lot more.

Haru also didn't give Chifuyu mercy and also asked a lot of embarrassing questions.

Neither of them gave up until there were only two rounds left in this game.

"I won." Chifuyu looked at Haru and asked, "Was the technique that you used to slash down that enemy my technique?" She had always wanted to ask this question to him.

"Yes, Reiraku Byakuya. It is a technique that can completely bypass any IS shield. I read your data during Mondo Grosso and it is an ability that can make you become a champion. I've copied that ability without your permission, are you angry?" Haru asked.

Chifuyu smiled and shook her head. "No, but it is completely insane for you to put it on a scythe."

"I like it, why not? Your technique is awesome," Haru said.

"Of course!" Chifuyu was a bit proud.

"Then, the last round."

Chifuyu nodded.

They played for the last time and it was Haru who won the last round.

"What's your question?" Chifuyu asked.

"Sensei, this is a very serious question. I hope that you can answer me," Haru said.

"..."

Chifuyu turned serious and wondered what he was about to ask her. She was wondering whether Haru was going to ask about the identified IS, her family, government's trade secret, etc. She had thought about a lot of things, but she had never thought that he would ask her this question.

"Sensei, what are your three sizes?"

"...."

Chifuyu was speechless and asked, "You can ask me a lot of things whether I know about the secret of IS, the government, Shinono Tabane, or a lot of things, but you've asked my three sizes?"

"It's very important for me, Sensei."

"....."

Chifuyu sighed and had a bit of blush on her cheek. "Come close, I'll whisper it to you." It might be because she was a bit tipsy, or she might be really having fun, or she might be really interested in him as a man, but no matter what, she didn't really mind telling him about her three sizes.

Haru nodded and moved his head closer. It felt a bit ticklish when her breath was right next to his ear, but it was great when he knew about her three sizes.

Chifuyu sat down once again and asked, "Satisfied?"

"Yes."

"Hmph! What a pervert." Chifuyu looked away to hide her blush.

Haru smiled and said, "But I'm glad to know it."

Chifuyu couldn't look at him straight and felt very ashamed at this moment.

"Hurry up and eat your food!"

"Alright, alright."

Both of them continued to eat while joking with each other, and their relationship had become much closer.
