"I already told you that you could call me whatever you wanted, now I have to go to the bathroom" Saya turned around and left the place with her face completely red without saying any more words, only with her mouth closed.
"I thought you were coming from the bathroom a few moments ago" Haruta just shook his head watching Saya disappear among the people as she walked towards the bathroom.
Soon Soichiro approached Haruta with a glass of wine in his hand "I could tell that you are having fun, but you shouldn't be so relaxed right now maybe you know some people a little more annoying, of course all that is for your opinion"
"What do you mean?" Haruta asked looking up
"When you were talking to our daughter we looked for a little information about you, knowing that you belong to Saya's school it is easy to know a little about your relationships" from the left side Yuriko appeared who spoke calmly but seeing how Haruta's eyes were it had come back empty and blue in color she could only take a step back "Don't take it the wrong way Haruta-kun, we just wanted to know a little about our godson and her emotional relationships, you should appreciate our research we discovered a little bit "
"Now we know that you have or maintain a close relationship with the Yuuki's youngest daughter, Asuna Yuuki, am I correct?" Soichiro did not look at Haruta but he knew well that the young man's expression was not different from surprise, soon Haruta nodded but didn't say anything else.
"According to the sources we have Asuna-san is locked in that video game of death, with the personality that you showed after the matter of your friend I suppose you will not sit idly by waiting for her family to continue with the arranged marriage"
Haruta still didn't say a word but Souichiro felt satisfied with the black-haired's reactions, not many people remain calm in those situations much less when their objectives were only a few meters away.
"Of course if you don't want to wait for her you can go for Saya, she can be a bit grumpy but deep down she is no less cute than a teddy bear" Yuriko touched her lower lip with the index finger of her hand while holding a slight smile.
"I'm sorry Yuriko-san but I can't abandon my girlfriend, a sad video game will not be the end of our relationship so my duty is to ensure that she is safe in the real world is to say that I must end any threat to her happiness "A slight smile broke out on Haruta's face" For now the Yuuki family is a story for the future, I can leave you alone for a few more days "
"What will happen to Asuna-chan gets another boyfriend in that game?" Yuriko's question made Haruta stay still for a few seconds "According to the information I have, time passes in a different way inside the video game, if I remember correctly one day outside it is six days inside, because of your personality you will wait for it and you will help her from the outside, can you really bear that she can show up with someone when the game is over or can you bear that she couldn't get out of the game alive? "
Haruta just turned around with a confident smile on her face "If she gets out of that game I will be happy and support her in any of her decisions, even if she doesn't choose me to be by her side for the rest of her life, after everything before her boyfriend I am also her friend and it is the duty of a friend to watch over the other side "
Soichiro gave a big smile when he heard the answer he gave to his wife "Well Haruta, a man must not back down from his words and neither can he let them take away everything that is important to him. I have not seen a person for a long time. with your mettle Haruta, I will support you in everything you need, this will be the way to take care of Riko and Yoichi's son, they will both be grateful "Soichiro remained firm to his words while drinking the rest of the wine from his glass" Now we have to greet guests, everyone wants to meet chef Zao Shen "
Haruta shook his head while sighing, in his mind all those moments he had with his beloved Asuna passed but soon he let them go as if it were the wind and the resolution returned to his eyes "Well, I will accompany you in the greetings"
The night sped by as Haruta introduced herself and greeted the guests, everyone was kind and appreciative of Haruta's food, so there were no issues to mention until the end of the event came where Haruta inevitably had to meet someone. in question.
"You must be Haruta-kun right?" The strict female voice caught the attention of Haruta and her companions who took notice of the person in question.
Yuriko kept her radiant smile, she had a long history in these events so she could not be easily impressed after everything that was about to happen was practically agreed.
The woman who attracted the attention of Haruta and company was Kyouko Yuuki, Asuna Yuuki's mother.
Haruta kept her impeccable smile and bowing slightly greeted "It's a pleasure to meet you in person Kyouko Yuuki-sama"
Kyouko looked at Haruta slightly from head to toe "So it was true, you are the chef of this event, the rumored Zao Shen"
"Oh ... I am honored that you know my insignificant name after all I am just an extra in this event" Haruta maintained her impeccable facade without showing openness.
"Haruta-kun or Zao Shen-kun, I have to introduce you to some people who wanted to have a chat with you and maybe in the future get a friendly relationship" From Kyouko's side a formal looking man with an elegant suit and glasses appeared. "This is the new director of RECTO Progress Inc. Nobuyuki Sugou who in the future will also be my son-in-law"
Yuriko heard Kyouko's words and unconsciously wrinkled her eyebrows, the fact that Kyouko will introduce Sugou to Haruta was literally a statement, Kyouko proved to Haruta that her place was not in the Yuuki family.
"It's ..." before Yuriko could say something, Soichiro stopped her by extending her hand in front of her, Saya who was on the other side could only stay at bay, she quickly understood what her father was looking for.
Haruta on the other hand just kept with a radiant smile and bowed slightly "It is my duty to congratulate Mr. Sugou in advance, I hope he has a prosperous life and radiant happiness" while Haruta spoke he shook hands with Sugou who was smiling calmly.
"Sugou is a great person and he is a successful man" Kyouko spoke arrogantly as she glanced at Haruta.
"Well it is only unfortunate that in Japan homosexual marriage is illegal but it is good news that in 1880 it was decriminalized, I suppose that Kouichirou-san and Sugou-san will not have big problems if love is real"
The eyes of everyone present quickly widened, all the heavyweights of the country and the city were listening to the conversation, the exchange between Zao Shen and Kyouko Yuuki.
