Talk at Night and Morning

When Haru returned home, it was already past one in the morning.

However, what surprised him was that the light at his place was still on. In other words, everyone shouldn't be asleep at this moment.

"I'm back."

As expected when they heard his voice, four girls appeared together when they knew that he had gone back.

"Kirari, why are you here too?" Haru was surprised.

"Can I? I've heard that you're going to get a new girl from them," Kirari said while looking at him with a smile.

"...."

"Well, where's Erina?" Haru asked.

"You haven't taken her the first time, right? After you've taken hers, then I'll invite her," Utaha said.

"....."

Haru sighed and walked to the living room while looking at Utaha. "Sorry for not receiving your call earlier. There was some trouble before."

"So who is the next girl?" Utaha asked.

"You're not sleepy? Why don't we talk in the morning?" Haru asked.

"It's better to talk now," Sora said.

Haru knew that he was at fault and said, "Sorry to make you all wait for me. If I'm late, I'll talk to you beforehand." He knew that in this situation, he needed to apologize.

Seeing their man apologize first, they nodded and felt a lot ease, but then they noticed something on his head.

Megumi noticed the bandage on Haru's head, she frowned slightly and asked, "Haru, did you fight someone outside? Is the injury serious?"

Haru touched his head, and said with a little embarrassment, "No, someone slammed me with a baseball bat before." However, he also felt warm when they were worried about him.

Sora, Megumi, and Utaha became worried and thought that this guy really had fought someone outside, but it seemed that wasn't the case when Kirari seemed to be at ease.

"Oh, was it like me before? Did you enter the girl's room without permission?" Kirari asked with a smile.

"Did something like that happen?" Megumi asked curiously.

"Yes..." Kirari told them how this guy confessed to her in the middle of night by sneaking into her house in the middle of night.

"....."

A blackline appeared on his forehead since the way he wooed Maki was similar when he wooed Kirari.

"I see... not only have you sneaked into a girl's room, but you're also being hit by her... not only that, it seems that you also have a girl's heart," Utaha said.

"Girl's heart? What do you mean?" Haru asked.

"You didn't know? You should look in the mirror first," Sora said.

"Mirror?"

Haru looked at the mirror and saw a bow tie like bandage on his head. This bandage seemed to be very cute which made him speechless.

'Maki.....'

Haru understood why the staff at the government office looked at him weirdly at that time.

"From the way, this bandage is being tied, I guess, it should be a girl and the only girl who has knowledge about medicine is only one person! Now, all the truth has been uncovered! You've been at a girl's house, right!" Utaha pointed her finger at him. If she wore glasses and a red bow tie then without doubt one or two cases would appear beside her every time.

Haru raised his hands and said, "You won, Detective Kasumigaoka."

Utaha hummed and seemed to be very proud when it seemed that she had won the case.

"Is it Maki?" Sora asked.

"Yes." Haru nodded.

"Maki is the daughter of the owner of that hospital, right?" Kirari asked.

"That one."

"From what I know both of you are childhood friends. I guess it is true that in every story a childhood friend is an ironclad lover," Utaha said while rubbing her chin.

"Even if that's the case, I won't leave all of you," Haru said.

Sora snorted and said, "You should!" She hugged him tightly.

"Well, let's go bed," Utaha said.

"Yeah, it is quite late at night," Haru said while patting Sora's head.

"What are you talking about? Of course, we need to do that, right?"

"..."

---

Utaha, Kirari, Megumi, and Sora knew that doing that kind of thing was very tiring and once they did that they might not be able to wake up for a long time. Fortunately, Haru had mastered an ancient massage technique which could recover them quickly.

In the early morning, everyone was very spirited after being massaged by Haru.

Everyone was sitting in the dining room eating breakfast until they heard him make an announcement.

"Everyone, I need to go out in two days," Haru said.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Sora asked.

"I'm going to get a doctor," Haru said.

"Doctor? Why do you need that? You're as healthy as a bull," Kirari said, but she realized that Megumi, Utaha, and Sora nodded solemnly. "What's wrong?"

Megumi knew that Kirari didn't know the story so she explained what had happened to Sakura.

"I see... did you go visit her last night?" Kirari asked. She would be lying if she didn't feel anything about Sakura, but she was moved by Haru's dedication to search for a way for her lover to stay alive. She had a feeling that if she had the same trouble then he would do his best and give his everything to stay and help her. It made her move and at the same time, she felt even more happy to have him as her fiance.

"No, last night was a different girl." Haru felt very awkward at that moment.

"...."

Kirari looked at Haru speechlessly since this guy had never changed.

"So where is this doctor and when are you going?" Utaha asked.

"I'll be out later tonight and I'll be back at least on Friday," Haru said. Today was Tuesday, and the next two days should be Thursday, but he might be late since he wanted to see various worlds first later so he might come back on Friday.

They nodded and told him to come back as soon as possible.

"Right, I want to ask another question," Utaha said.

"Ask away."

"Is the doctor male or female?" Utaha asked.

"...."

At that moment, everyone stared at Haru. They had a feeling, but they needed to confirm it from Haru's mouth.

"Female."

"...."
