Dance Party 1

After the end of the concert, every participant of the Nine Schools Competition gathered at the dance party that was held by the organizers. This party was popular among all the participants of this competition since at this party, they could communicate with a lot of different people, including the girls from various schools.

Haru looked at Miyuki, and he could see how popular this girl was. Their eyes happened to meet each other, and he smiled at her.

"..." Miyuki, who was surrounded by a lot of guys from First High, who participated in the Nine Schools Competition, pretended to smile and talk with them, but in truth, she didn't really want to talk with all of them and just wanted to stay with the girls until the end of the party. Well, in truth, she didn't want to join this party, especially when her brother wasn't there.

Miyuki was looking for help, and her eyes happened to meet Haru, but that guy only smiled before he continued to talk with the girls, which made her very annoyed at this moment.

"Shiba-san, can we be friends?"

"Shiba-san...."

Miyuki looked at the guys, and somehow her face was cramped at this moment, trying to maintain her smile. 'Onii-sama!'

"Achoo!"

Tatsuya felt that his nose was a bit itchy.

"What's wrong, Tatsuya? Did you catch a cold?" Leo asked.

"Nothing." Tatsuya shook his head and continued his job in the kitchen of the hotel with Leo, Erika, and Mikihiko.

"Still, I didn't expect that you would sing with Haru on the stage, Mikihiko," Leo suddenly said.

"Haha..." Mikihiko only laughed awkwardly and said, "Yes, I also didn't expect it, but it was unexpectedly fun." He didn't know why when he was on the stage, he forgot all the audience and all on his head was having fun. When he sang, he could also feel the Spirits were very happy and wondering whether a song would be able to affect the Spirits? He wasn't sure, but it might be good to do an experiment, and if possible, he wanted to ask Haru's help.

"Fun, huh?" 2x

Leo and Tatsuya didn't expect such an answer from Mikihiko since they knew how socially awkward this guy was, but then they didn't think too much since Erika's shout woke them up.

"Hey, hurry up and move your hands!" Erika shouted.

"Yes, Mam!" 3x

Leo, Tatsuya, and Mikihiko said at the same time.

Erika nodded, then walked to the venue again, looking at Haru, who was talking with many girls and couldn't help but approach him. If she wasn't at work, she wanted to have a dance with him. Unfortunately...

When everyone was busy on their own, Haru, Mari, Suzune, and Mayumi were talking to each other.

"You're going to come back early?" Mari asked in a frown.

"Um." Haru nodded and said, "I'll bring Suzune-senpai with me."

"Do you have to go back tonight? Has something happened?" Mayumi asked and felt quite worried.

"Well, yeah, but you don't need to worry too much." Haru held Suzune's hand and said, "My family might be curious about Suzune-senpai and want to know more about her."

"What?!" 2x

Mari and Mayumi were dumbfounded then looked at Suzune in surprise.

"....." Suzune blushed and looked at Haru speechlessly, but she could only nod since there was no way she could tell what they were about to do, or rather, she didn't really know what this guy was about to do, but she knew that she needed to follow him. "Well, we'll go back soon, so you should go say goodbye or have a dance with all the girls here. I can see that they're all interested in having a dance with you." She then pushed Haru toward the group of girls since she could monopolize him later.

Haru was speechless when he was pushed by Suzune, but he didn't think too much and walked toward the group of girls of the Third High who kept looking at him. In the end, his identity wasn't revealed, and both Kasugano Haruka and Rokkaku Haruka were different people. It wasn't that he didn't want to reveal it, but he felt that it was very troublesome, and he was sure that at this party, if his identity was known, then he would be surrounded by a lot of people, and it would be impossible for him to ask a dance for all the girls who were close with him, so it was better to keep it secret.

Haru looked at Airi and smiled before he approached her since this girl was too cute, right?

Looking at Haru, who was walking toward Airi, Mari and Mayumi looked at Suzune and asked.

"Is that alright?"

"It's alright." Suzune looked at Mari and Mayumi and said, "If you two want to dance with him, then you can do it too. I'm sure that there's a lot of girls who want to

Airi and her friends looked in Haru's direction.

"Just ask him, Airi," Touko said with a smile.

"No, I think it is better for him to approach you," Shiori said while shaking her head.

"But you can see how popular he is! Look, he's surrounded by a lot of beautiful girls now. If you don't do something, then you'll be late. You're already at a disadvantage since you're from a different school. If you don't do something, then after this party, you won't be able to meet him again!" Touki said in a hurry.

"Ugh..." Airi was full of hesitation. After all, she was a girl, and it was her first time approaching a guy. If it was being approached, she had a lot of experience, but she rejected all of them, so her experience of talking with guys was nearly zero.

"Don't you like him?" Touko asked.

"Wh - Who likes him?!" Airi blushed and quickly denied.

But...

"Hey! He's coming toward us!" Touko was full of smiles when she saw Haru approaching them.

Shiori looked at Airi, then looked at Haru, somehow she felt a bit reluctant when her friend would have a girlfriend so suddenly.

Airi was full of panic at that moment, and she was very nervous at that moment, but...

"Isshiki-san, we won't see each other for a while after this competition, so can you give me a chance to dance with you?" Haru asked with a gentle smile.

"Ah, um..." Airi nodded shyly with a blush.

"Great!" Haru smiled, then reached Airi's hand directly, leading her toward the dancing floor.

'!!!!'

Airi saw her hand was being held by Haru so suddenly and her entire face turned red, but strangely enough, it felt very comfortable, so she squeezed his hand since she knew that it might be a while for both of them to meet each other so even though it might be quite bold for them to hold each other's hands since they weren't in a relationship but, of course, there had always been an exception, right?

Touko and Shiori nodded and smiled, feeling happy for their friends, and the girls on the Third High were also surprised when Haru and Airi suddenly came together. However, some of them were jealous of Airi since Haru's popularity was very high after his appearance on the Nine Schools Competition, they thought that both of them were suitable for each other.

When the girls looked at Haru and Airi, who danced together gracefully together with a longing and envious gaze, the guys on the Third High wanted to eat Haru whole since this guy was too much, right?

The beautiful girls on the First High were one thing, but Haru also had gotten the most beautiful girl on the Third High too, but what could they do?

The male students of the Third High could only cry sadly at this moment, watching Haru, who was holding Airi enviously.
