Chapter 42 - Summer seaside school
The next day, Haruto was training in his room rather than outside since he was focusing on improving his control over his body. The [ Hercules Methods ] teaching is that Mind Commands and Flesh Obeys focus on complete domination over it. Haruto understood the method itself won't work to anyone else without proper talent like he does.
He is able to be as flexible or as rigid depending on what he commands. However, he is still far from a perfect individual and constantly needs to find perfect harmony between them. Haruto checked his status to see how much he had progressed in terms of his skills and physical attributes.

Haruto was satisfied with his growth since his base strength are mostly A and S but if he added his skills then it would be vastly different. For example, Kenichi is physically weaker but his skills aren't to be laughed at.
Once he was done doing his routine when to his usual routine of taking a bath with Lala and went to school where they were going to a Seaside Summer school. Haruto sat next to Kenichi while Rito sat behind them. He glanced at Lala who sat next to Haruna while Miu next to Risa and we're happily chatting about the last play where the martial art girl felt grateful for Haruto who gave her a wonderful memory.
She glanced over to Haruto who simply leaned down his chair and did some mental training to pass the time since his body had begun to crave them and couldn't stop without doing some. On the other hand, Kenichi was relieved that he had time to relax after the rather brutal training regime that he was put on.
Miu never expected that he was the same boy that she met that many years ago and had left an impression on her to someone who became her very first ever friend. She couldn't remember everything and only glimpse of it where they played together when she was around.
"So Miu, is there anyone you like?" Misa asked with a smirk while her friend Mio rested on top of Misa's chair joining their conversation.
"Yeah, any boys you're interested in? You two, Haruna since Lala already has Haruto." Mio asked, slightly making Miu blush.
"Eh w-well, I don't know." Miu doesn't know but does like Haruto since he was her very first friend ever. She couldn't remember beside him that left an impact.
"I-I'm also unsure…" Haruna blushes remembering the time Haruto saved her when they were 8th grade, always being there for her even when her sister locked the door to her home and Haruto was there to take him to their home to spend the night.
"Huhuhu, the way you two react it's clear you have one! Spill it! No need to be shy!" Risa teasing them seeing the two flustered and giggled.
"How about you, Risa-san, Mio-san, do you have someone you like?" Lala asked and the two pondered for a moment looking around spotting Haruto who was sleeping soundly but in truth having an intense training.
"Hope you won't mind Lala but if there's anyone I'm attracted to then it's Haruto." Risa having seen him in PE and amazed at how much his body developed that it was unreal. Though, her type is a shy one but that doesn't mean she would pass the chance with someone like Haruto.
"Why would I mind? If you like Haruto then you can. We can share Haruto!" Lala said without thinking, surprising the girls except Miu since Honoka was in Ryozanpaku and often played or acted like a housewife to Haruto. Even though Miu can try dating Haruto still felt wrong to do so especially for Lala who felt like a sister to her as both shared similar personalities.
"What do you mean by that exactly?" Risa became curious hearing Lala's words along with Haruna and Mio.
"Well, if Haruto loves you and you give him back we can marry him like Honoka-chan." She was nonchalant in discussing these things considering her position as the princess. Lala studies and understands her political position even though she dislikes it.
"When Haruto marries Lala-sama then he would become king of the universe and earth rule won't matter." Peke commented since everybody already knew about Lala being an alien. Miu and Haruna felt relieved that Lala wasn't bothered while Risa and Mio looked at each other then formed a smile.
"Really? If Lala likes us you won't mind Lala-san?" Mio said rather excited since she was also a secret admirer of Haruto even before his transformation. He was reliable and kind despite his often rough demeanor.
"Of course! All of you are my friends! If Haruto marries everybody then we could all live together." Lala openly gave her permission that if Haruto likes them back then she wouldn't mind. Risa and Mio who were straightforward, giving mischievous smiles. While Haruto shudders in his mental training.
'Lala is too kind….what if.' Miu imagined herself dating Haruto even marrying him wasn't out of her mind. She blush wondering why she acts this way!? Ever since she learned Haruto was the boy that was her first friend and remembered a memory where they promised to meet again in the future promising to be friends.
'I will become your bride, Haruto!' A memory resurfaced and she became more flustered. They were young at that time and she misunderstood becoming a beautiful bride meant they would be friends forever.
'Haruto…..what would happen if I confess?' Haruna thought to herself having admired Haruto since they were young and was flustered that Lala was willing to share him.
"Should we try our luck with Haruto?" Risa pondered since she likes being around them and wasn't a stranger to everyone.
"Why not, I think it will be fun!" Mio smirked as they were happily discussing it while the boys who heard their conversation were crying tears of blood in envy while Haruto ignored them and continued his mental training.
After some time they arrived at the Inn they'll be staying at and the principal announced that they'll be staying there for three and will be having a "Dare". Everyone went to their room and changed into a Yukata where the boys consist of Haruto, Rito and Kenichi. Once they settled a bit decided to take a bath in the Hotspring where few other boys were inside changing.
The boys were amazed to see Haruto's physique along with Kenichi who doesn't have the same but was still more muscular than his peers. He removed his blindfold but kept his eyes closed and head inside. Haruto submerges in the warm water that relaxes his muscles, noticing two boys trying to peep on the girls.
He tensed his forearm then took a piece of the rock in the Hotspring and flick them lightly towards the two instantly knocking them out. Haruto can easily use the projectile to end their life especially. Once that was done, he leaned back and chilled in the Hotspring.
While the boys were changing on their side, the girls were already in the hot spring. Lala, Miu, Risa, Mio, and Haruna enjoyed their time in the water.
"Eh~, you don't know "dare" is Lala-chii!? You two, Miu-chii!? Oh yeah, you were born on another planet but I didn't expect you to know ." Mio asked
"Well, I often transfer and wasn't allowed until now." Miu answered, making Risa and Mio wonder what kind of life she was living.
"Yep! What is 'dare' anyway?" Lala was curious and also listened since she had never been on a field trip before.
"Dare is... well, in a nutshell, it's a game where a girl and a boy pair up and walk to the goal on a dark road at night." Mio explained.
"Eh? Walking at night is so easy." Lala
"That sounds fun." Miu said
"But it doesn't work that way! There will be ghosts that block your way and put-" Mio trying to scare them.
"Curses on you!" Risa joined their conversation as she put her hands before her chest to mimic a ghost.
"Of course, that will be done by people who play ghosts." Risa said
"I see!" Both Miu and Lala said.
"By the way, did you hear about the 'dare' jinx?" MiO mentioned something about getting others interested.
"Jinx?" Risa didn't know what she was talking about.
"Whichever courageous pair makes it to the goal in this seaside summer school's 'dare' will surely become a couple!!" Mio is planning on getting her shot with Haruto.
"Eh? No way~~~. But in the case of Lala-chii, she already has a boyfriend." Risa said.
"That's right, Lala-chii is the one with the most experience in the relationships department." Mio nodded
The three girls looked at Lala, who started to play with the water flowing out of bamboo with a curious gaze. Mio and Risa shook their heads, seeing that she had the most experience.
"At what stage do you think they are?" Mio whispered to Risa.
"I bet they didn't even kiss." She wondered how far they went as a couple.
"Bold assumption even though we are seeing every day how close Haruto and Lala-chii are." Mio said.
"True, but that's just how Lala is, very clingy but innocent like a child." Risa said
"Haruto, on the other hand, is a carnivore, and I wouldn't be surprised if they already did it." Mio commented.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Naive naive, Lala-chii isn't emitting that mature aura that she would if they've already done that." Risa shook her, disagreeing with her.
"How about bet then. If she didn't kiss Haruto, then I'll take over your cleaning duties for a week, but if they've done more, you'll take over mine. sounds good?" Mio suggested making Risa excited.
"Deal!" They shook their hands in agreement and called out for Lala to get their answers.
"Maybe we shouldn't do this. It's a private matter after all." Haruna also was curious how far they went but felt it was inappropriate to ask about someone's personal life.
"Don't worry, Haruna, if she doesn't want to answer, we'll give up." Risa said.
"Hey Lala-chii, Haruto is your boyfriend, right. We were just wondering at what stage are you two at?" Mio called out to Lala and asked her questions, getting the attention of Miu and Haruna.
"Stage?" Lala was too innocent and wasn't following.
"You know, like, did you kiss? did he see you naked or-" Before Risa could finish, Haruna interrupted her. She was too embarrassed by this whole conversation.
"Ah, so that's what you meant. We did the most intimate thing lovers could do."
She was holding both of her cheeks as she was saying that. Lala wasn't particularly embarrassed by it but remembering that day made her happy and warm.
"No-" Risa said as Mio continued the phrase.
"-way." Haruna was blushing hard when she heard Lala. The other two, on the other hand, wanted to know more. Risa practically forgot about the bet and that she would need to clean the classroom in place of Mio.
"Then we should up our game if we want to get his affection!" Risa had to think of a way to get Haruto to their room and spend the night there without the teacher knowing.
"Agree, we should invite him to our room." Mio said and Haruna blushed at what they were planning.
"You two are serious about Haruto?" Miu asked since she also wants to act bold and was too hesitant out of consideration for Lala.
"Hehehe of course, he is interesting and fun and also strong and manly!" Mio remarked.
"Don't worry, we will think of a plan!" Risa exclaimed as the two troublemaker was going to take Haruto to their room while Haruto is just enjoying his relaxation.
