Event 48: Memories of a distant past (4)

"Stop! Stop! I don't understand anything that happens!" Haruta exclaimed angrily

"Sigh ..." sighed the oldest of the judges, one of the ancient teachers of Haruta "I already thought that all this was too strange, I suppose you did not read the formula of the challenge and you only accepted"

Haruta got up from his seat and pointed directly at the director "At the meeting we said that if I won nobody would bother me about being part of the ten advisors" Haruta was upset by the situation.

The director only limited to smile "Exactly, I said that nobody would bother you, that means that if you win you will be part of the ten councilors and nobody will be able to oppose the decision" said the director making Haruta open his mouth surprised "But if not you want to be a counselor you should only lose, but that will stain your reputation "

"It's a joke?" Haruta asked in amazement.

"Haruta-kun, before you make a decision read the conditions of the duel, do not make the same mistake again" said the old judge raising the sheet with the combat conditions.

Haruta ignored and left his space to pick up the sheet from the judges' table where the conditions of the duel were, quickly Haruta read it.

"Damn, that's why I always told you that you had to read all the documents" said the judge, shaking his head as he looked at Haruta, on the other hand, the rest of the judges laughed uncomfortable with the situation

Haruta Ichijo V/S Erina Nakiri

In the event that Haruta wins, he will become a member of the ten councilors having the support of the director and five councilors belonging to the ten councilors until before the fight.

If Erina Nakiri wins, Haruta will not belong to the ten advisors, instead she will have to transform into a follower of Erina Nakiri during her stay in Tootsuki and act under her name being loyal to her as if she were her master.

"This is a scam, I end up losing in both cases ..." Haruta said, tapping the paper with his hand while looking at the director.

"Does being part of the ten councilors seem like a bad prize?" asked the director again

Haruta left the paper on the table again "For any other student this would be a great prize, but for me it would only be a great rock on my back, it would take away a lot of freedom that I currently enjoy" said annoyed Haruta

The director knew that this would end this situation, only he hoped that Haruta would win the match before he realized it, everything went out of his plans due to the judge he brought, he never imagined that he was a supporter of Haruta and his convictions.

"Nothing matters anymore, you must make a decision right now!" exclaimed the director in a firm voice as he stood as if he were a military chief.

Haruta gave a glance to Erina who continued to have an icy expression as if she had no life, now she had to decide whether to be one of the followers of the blonde zombie or be part of the select group of advisory pigs, none of the options was enough to fill Haruta's ego, causing his expression to become complicated.

"Well, I already made my decision" Haruta said looking up while taking a jar of salt from a piece of furniture, the head of the director and the judges quickly lit up, finally Haruta had decided to become a member of the ten advisors, being the student Younger to join the group.

Haruta turned her hand and poured the large jar of salt into the food. "Maybe helping the zombie girl will be fun," Haruta said naturally.

"Eh?... eh?!!!"

Everyone was surprised watching Haruta as he voluntarily spoiled the food, not caring about the defeat he would suffer.

"Hahaha....!" the director laughed after understanding what had happened "There really is no way for you to become a member of the ten councilors" said the director wiping the tears from the edge of his eyes "I really thought that if I forced you to lower your head in front from other people, you would end up taking the right path but I see that it fails, I never imagined that the laziness inherited from your father would be greater than your pride "

"Don't say it like that" Haruta said crossing his arms annoyed "I hope what you prepare is at least edible, I don't want to win with my brine-style boar!" Haruta exclaimed pointing at Erina.

The results of the duel were 3-0 a clear victory for Erina Nakiri after Haruta surrendered ruining his plate due to the agreement of the victory conditions.

The judges bowed slightly and then left the room, leaving the director, Haruta, Erina and Isako inside the room. "It seems that my granddaughter gained a new follower," said the director, mocking Haruta.

"Sigh ..." Haruta sighed, letting his shoulders drop "It can't be such a difficult task, after all this girl looks like a zombie, I thought that the members of the Nakiri family were full of life" at the words of Haruta the director he decided not to answer anything "I guess if something happened to this girl it must be Nakamura-senpai's fault, he is the only member of the Nakiri family who has that aura of evil around him"

Haruta's last words made both Erina and Hisako jump, surprised by the boy's intuition, while the director was the most surprised of all, Haruta was the first person who could see the true colors of his son-in-law without the need to board a conversation with him.

"Well I guess from now on I should call this girl with more respect… Erina ojou-chan?" Haruta asked doubting out loud while Hisako was exalted "Well she is a little princess, but Hime-sama would also work"

"Hears!" Hisako exclaimed calling Haruta's attention

"Oh, it's true, you are also the follower of the zombie girl" said Haruta

"She is not a zombie girl, she is Erina-sama!" Hisako exclaimed angry at Haruta's words

"Oh, I understand, then I'll call her Erina-sama too" Haruta said with a natural smile without any discomfort at the situation she was in right now.
