".........."
There was an awkward silence between Haru and Irene, and he also stopped his movement, floating on the sky, looking at her with a strange expression.
"Scumbag?" Haru's lips trembled and asked.
Irene, whose heart was beating so fast, was calm, and then she snorted. She somehow understood why this guy was so proficient at seducing her. After all, this guy was a scumbag. "You're quite famous on the Alvarez Empire, you know?"
"Really?" Haru was startled when he found out that he was famous in the Alvarez Empire.
"Yes." Irene nodded and told Haru how famous he was.
Everything happened when Haru suddenly disappeared, and Brandish, who found out the letter that he had decided to leave without telling her, was in panic and used almost half of the soldiers in the Alvarez Empire, and even gave a reward to anyone who could find him.
That event caused a lot of commotion and everyone in the Alvarez Empire knew who Haru was. They also worked hard to find him since the reward that Brandish had offered was huge.
Brandish was one of the members of the Springgan 12, and she didn't lack money. Instead, she was rich since she got money from various missions and salaries that she received. She even used all of her money to find him, which made everyone on the Alvarez Empire become curious about who he was.
It might be because Brandish was afraid that there were women or girls that might fall for him that she only narrated his features without giving his photo, so no one really knew his face, but one thing for sure, he was handsome.
However, human imagination was limited and no one had ever thought how someone could be so handsome.
Irene was also the same since she had never seen someone who was as handsome as Haru and somehow understood why Brandish fell for Haru, but at the same time, she couldn't help but frown at his action.
After all, it made everyone in the Alvarez Empire, so why would Brandish, who was a member of the Springgan 12, offer so much money?
Some people thought that Haru had angered Brandish.
Some people thought that Haru might be Brandish's family member.
There were a lot of people who made many kinds of conclusions based on their own imaginations, but one thing for sure, no one would ever think that Haru was Brandish's lover since the existence of the Spriggan 12 was like a god for the people in the Alvarez Empire, so they didn't think that the members of the Spriggan 12 would have love related problems, especially when all of the members of the Spriggan 12 was all single and no one was in a relationship, so the people in the Alvarez Empire had never thought such a possibility.
However, Irene was different and she could ask what had really happened. After all, she was also curious, especially when the name Kasugano Haruka became a commotion in the entire Empire, which made her wonder who this guy was, but then when she found out who Haru was from August, it made her flabbergasted.
Haru was a scumbag.
Irene couldn't help but frown, especially when she recalled Brandish's sad expression.
".............."
Haru couldn't say anything since he also knew that he was wrong to leave Brandish so suddenly, but he didn't expect that Brandish would react so strongly. He had reminded her that he would go back after he solved his problem so here he was, coming to this world again, keeping his promise to return.
Irene looked at Haru's regretful expression, then sighed. After all, she also heard in and out of what had happened, so she asked, "I have heard that you have mastered "Pleasure Magic" by accident, right?" Still, her face was red when she mentioned this magic since she also knew how vile the "Pleasure Magic" was since this bad guy had mastered then... her face blushed once again.
"...You know that too?" Haru was speechless.
"Of course." Irene nodded and said, "Still, with how you're right now, I think that you have mastered that magic, right?"
"Yes." Haru nodded and said, "I have mastered that magic."
Irene was surprised by how strong Haru had become in a mere a year since she knew that she couldn't beat him and he also could defeat Acnologia instantly.
"What about Brandish? You dare to court me, even if you have her?" Irene asked with a frown.
"I met Brandish yesterday and we talked a lot." Haru's expression became gentle which made Irene frown, feeling quite vexed for some reason as if wanted him to show such an expression for her too. "This time, I won't leave her and I won't make a similar mistake, but I also want you to, Irene."
"...What?" Irene opened her eyes wide, then asked with a frown, "You want to have the two of us?" Even though she wasn't uncommon with the idea of polygamy, she was a strong woman, and of course, she wanted to monopolize her man, instead of sharing him with different women.
"Yes." Haru nodded.
"................" Irene.
"Irene, I'm a scumbag. Brandish isn't my only one, and of course, you won't be the only one either," Haru said calmly.
"But, you still want me?" Irene asked with a high pinch tone.
"Yes." Haru nodded.
"..............."
Irene was in a daze since this guy's shamelessness had reached a different level that made it hard to get angry. Instead, it made her dumbfounded, wondering how she was going to react in this situation.
"I'm not going to force you or tell you to make a decision, right now. We have a long time to be together and in that time, you can see whether I'm a suitable man that you can entrust your life to me?" Haru said gently as he held her hand.
Irene blushed and looked away since she was afraid that if she kept looking at him, she would have an impulse to accept him, but then, after she calmed herself, she looked at him and nodded. "Okay. Let me keep watching you from now on."
"Keep watching me?" Haru raised his eyebrow.
"Yes."
"From now on?"
"From now on."
"No matter where?"
"No matter where."
"Even in the bathroom?" Haru asked while blinking his eyes.
".............."
Irene blushed again and hit Haru's chest. "Did you ask this question deliberately?"
"Well, isn't it because you have asked such a cute question? You should know that I have several lovers so without a doubt at night, I'm going to..."
Irene's face felt so hot at that moment. "I - I'll keep watching!"
"..............."
Haru looked at Irene for a moment, then nodded. "Okay."
"................."
Irene blinked her eyes and thought for a moment.
'Is that alright?'
