Mix of Truth and Lies

"We actually didn't buy anything..."

Haruhiro whined as he looked over at the two ladies in front of him. They both looked so happy that he can't bear to break it up. It was a good thing they got hungry and tired. The two decided to quickly go and eat in a nearby restaurant.

"I'll go and powder my nose for a bit. The two of you order for our food."

Nanako hurried off to the restroom after saying that. Her face lacking a bit of color but Haruhiro just associated it with her tiredness.

Anna and Haruhiro looked at each other. There is this awkwardness between them that wasn't there when Nanako was present. They avoided each other's gaze and waited in awkward silence.

They're in the corner of the restaurant since they wanted to remain inconspicuous. Both Anna and Nanako would attract too much attention wherever they go so staying in a corner like this would somehow alleviate their troubles.

There aren't that many people since this is the usual time when people are either at school or are working.

It is a fast food restaurant since Nanako said she wanted to try some more of it. Being born into a rich family, she rarely ever went into places such as this.

A few seconds passed and finally, Haruhiro decided to speak. "Anna. Have you considered what I told you about?"

During the three days that have passed, he didn't idly lie down on his bed. He decided to tell Anna almost everything. During his first day in the hospital, Anna came back during the evening. It was then that he told her about his plan and the reason why he wants to do it.

Looking at the teenage girl in front of him, his eyes looking at her with warmth as she excitedly talked about her day. Listening to her stories made Haruhiro remember the girls that took care of him back then.

"Anna, there's something I need to tell you. This is going to sound crazy but I promise you it's real."

Hearing the seriousness in his tone, Anna's facial expression changed from being carefree to being serious.

Seeing that, he started to tell her that there have been certain changes with his body. He told her how his body grew stronger and how he saw a vision of an event that will soon happen.

This event is the apocalypse. He told her how the world will end, how society will collapse and how humanity will react after this collapse. He told her about the sufferings one might suffer from those without power.

Haruhiro also told her about the abilities that he got. A System that allows him to level up through missions and get stronger. He also said to her how he got all this by saying that his soul mixed with a soul from the future. Because of how weak the soul was he was able to absorb the soul and his ability, memories and strength became his.

He also told her his new missions and how he plans to complete this said missions. What he said, of course, shocked Anna.

She listened to him intently. Anna knows how serious this matter is by looking at his knitted brows but when he started talking about the apocalypse and souls. She doubted him and thought that he was playing a trick on her.

However, that doubt was soon replaced by trust. She thought to herself how even if this wasn't real or how this wasn't the whole truth, from the moment they kissed and told each other how they felt she'd always stand by his side.

Just like all those years ago when he stood by her side whenever she felt sadness over being abandoned by her real parents. How he'd comfort her and hug her, remembering that warmth she smiled. She remembers every single thing that's happened over the years and can't help feeling a lot of emotions.

However, Haruhiro didn't notice the myriad of emotions showing in her eyes. He thought her silence meant that she doubted him so he gave her some time to think about it.

Now, he's waiting for her reply. He doesn't know what he's feeling right now. All that he knows is that chest is aching and he may probably be anxious. Haruhiro found the wait difficult since he wishes to know if the person he loves believes in him.

"Of course I'll help you Haru. What kind of girlfriend would I be if I don't help my boyfriend?"

Whilst saying that Anna's face reddened so much that she looked like she would overheat from the embarrassment. Seeing her like this, Haruhiro found her quite adorable. He held her free hand on top of the table and spoke.

"I'm glad you believe me. I didn't know what I'd do if you decided that I went crazy because of getting beaten up."

"Sorry I made you worry. Now, how long do we have before it starts?"

Anna is, of course, asking how long is the time they have before the apocalypse starts. Haruhiro replied by looking at the mission tab and telling her, "Around a week and a half."

"It looks like we'll have to disappoint mom regarding that vacation."

"We can always go somewhere fun once everything is stable. To the beach, the mountains. Anywhere. As long as it's with you and Nanako-san then we'd be fine."

Hearing him say that Anna's beet red face looked even brighter. It was then that Nanako came out of nowhere sat beside Haruhiro and hugged his left arm burying it in her abundant breasts.

"So...soft," Haruhiro muttered under his breath in which Nanako heard. She buried it even more deeply and held his hand. Haruhiro felt that something's wrong and when he looked at where his hand is placed, he couldn't be more right.

His hand is placed right on top of her crotch. He doesn't know whether it is his imagination or not but he could feel the warmth coming from that area.

He didn't try to retract his hand nor move his hand further. Haruhiro just let it stay there obediently. He acted like it didn't bother him at all.

'Are you kidding me? I died in my past life without ever experiencing this kind of feeling. I pitied those women from my past life too much that I didn't dare think of any improper thoughts about any of them.'

"Mom! Let go of Haru already! Look he seems to be very uncomfortable!" Seeing Haruhiro making a weird expression on his face, Anna thought that he felt uncomfortable with her adoptive mother clinging so close to him like that. She even asked herself why she'd stick that close but that was washed away by her quickly.

"Ah really? I'm sorry then."

Nanako hurriedly said when her daughter said how uncomfortable she's making the other party feel. She tilted her head while looking at Haruhiro.

Seeing the adorable way she was looking at him, he couldn't say no so he said, "It's fine." In which returned the smile of Nanako, even laying her head on his shoulder.

Haruhiro tried his best to make sure his little brother will not show any reaction from the brushing of his hand over her crotch in each movement she makes or how his arm is buried into her breasts.

He tried to act naturally by asking, "Oh yeah by the way who will order our food?" Anna looked at him with a look that says, "Why are you even asking that?"

She then went ahead and said it, "Why are you even asking that? You're obviously who's going to do it."

Having no choice he looked at Nanako while the latter just smiled at him and leg to of his arm. He felt that it is such a shame not to be able to feel that wonderfulness for a long time.

Shaking his head, he smiled wryly and went to the counter to order their food. He didn't ask what they wanted since he already knows what they want. The three of them would regularly eat somewhere since Nanako was always trying her best to resolve Haruhiro and Anna's issues.

As he walked towards the counter, he noticed something strange. His habits during the apocalypse stayed with him so throughout the whole day he's been paying attention to their surroundings. Right now he noticed something strange, almost all the male customers in the restaurant is looking in the same direction.

When he reached the counter, Haruhiro finally noticed what everyone male's been looking at. Actually, he noticed who they've been looking at.

A 19-20 years old female cashier stood behind the register. Her black wavy hair reaches up to the top of her shoulders, she has a small smile plastered on that adorable cute face of hers. The female cashier has a well-endowed figure. Slim waists, perky buttons, and breasts that are threatening to pop out at any moment.

The teenaged girl is wearing a red cap, white polo shirt revealing her cleavage, and black slacks as a uniform from her work.

"Good day sir, what would yo..." The cashier didn't have a chance to finish what she is saying because she took a look at the boy in front of her.

His black hair and those red eyes staring straight at her. Those pair of eyes staring at her seems to be able to see right through her.

It made her lose herself.
