Meeting Her

The next day, Haru had gone to middle school to visit the older sister of the three ghosts. He went to that school around the time when everyone went out of school.

Thinking about last night, Haru was glad that he had told Sora about his magic and she didn't make too much of a big fuss about it.

Sora also didn't have that much interest in magic and only wanted to see him when he practiced his magic. Though he still hadn't talked about the existence of the group chat, he wasn't sure whether it was necessary or not since sometimes something was better left untold.

Looking at the students who came out of the school, Haru stopped a female student and asked, "Hello, can I ask you something?"

"Y - yes!! Please ask me anything!"

The female student was quite happy when this handsome guy suddenly asked her something.

Haru chuckled and asked, "Do you know Yuri Nakamura?" He hoped that she knew about this girl.

The female student was a bit dazed when she saw him chuckle and nodded at him. She thought that this guy was trying to ask Yuri Nakamura out since it wasn't the first time for such a thing to happen. But at the same time, she felt jealous of Yuri since that girl was able to be invited by this handsome guy.

"Yes, I know her, do you need something from her?"

Haru nodded and asked, "Can I trouble you to ask her to meet me?"

The female student nodded and asked, "Sure, do you know her?"

"Yes, she is an acquaintance of my friend. My friend left me a message for her."

Haru didn't lie since those children had become his friends in a few days. He really liked them but he knew that he couldn't let them stay in that house forever. He needed to make sure they didn't have any lingering feelings in this world. He wanted to send them to heaven since it pained him to see them calling their older sister every day.

The female student nodded and said, "Sure, let me call her for a bit, please wait."

"Thank you."

The female student left Haru to call Yuri Nakamura.

Haru was waiting while leaning back on the wall. He knew that he had become a center of attention since he didn't wear the uniform of this school. He didn't really care about the male, but he sometimes smiled at the female student.

Haru didn't need to wait too long until he saw a girl in the kendo outfit walking toward him. He straightened his back and introduced himself.

"Hello, my name is Kasugano Haruka."

Haru looked at this girl and had to admit that she was quite a beauty.

Yuri Nakamura is a very beautiful girl with magenta-purple colored hair and sea-green eyes.

Yuri was a bit curious since a female student had come to her and said that there was someone who wanted to meet her. She thought that it was another male student, and wanted to reject him, but stopped when she saw him since she had to admit that Haru was her type.

Waving his hand right in front of Yui who was in a daze, Haru said, "Hello? Are you Yuri Nakamura?"

Yuri woke up and nodded. "Yes, I am. Do you need anything from me? Also, who are you?" S

"My name is Kasugano Haruka, do you have time after this?" Haru asked directly.

Yuri thought for a bit and said, "Can you wait for a while? I need to finish my extracurricular." Usually, someone would put an excuse to ask her out, but this guy asked her directly which made her interested and didn't mind accepting his invitation.

Haru nodded and said, "Sure, I will be waiting for you here." He was happy that she accepted his invitation

"Yeah, wait for a while."

Yuri ran back to change her clothes and thought to take a shower since she was sweating from a workout.

Waiting at the entrance of the school, the security came to ask him a question. Of course, he told security that he was part of Yuri's family since he didn't want to be kicked out by security for picking up a middle school girl.

After 15 minutes, Yuri came with her uniform and saw him waiting for her while talking with the security. She was wondering what they were talking about since she could see the security was laughing with him there.

When Yuri had arrived, Haru invited her to the nearby coffee shop. Ordering his coffee, he told her that he would treat her.

Yuri nodded and ordered a mochaccino.

It was quite normal for a middle school student to have a relationship, but Yuri didn't have that kind of experience before. She looked at Haru and thought that it was good to try it somehow.

After sitting down at the nearby table, Haru didn't invite her to visit his house, rather he started with small talk.

"You're doing kendo?"

"Yes, I've been doing it for few years."

"Really, I've also an interest in kendo."

Haru didn't lie since he had practiced kendo from Gintoki's experience which Gintoki shared on the "group chat". He was glad to learn it since it was useful to become a topic for small talk.

Yuri was a bit surprised that he was also interested in kendo, but she was happy to learn it.

Both of them were talking to each other and he felt that both of them had become quite familiar with each other. He decided to give it a shot and asked her.

"Can you come with me?" Haru asked.

"Where?" Yuri asked. She had a good impression of Haru, but it didn't mean she would follow him to a hotel.

Haru wasn't sure how to explain that he wanted her to come to the house where her siblings were killed. He knew that he was very cruel to make her remember something that she didn't want but he knew that he needed to do this for her and her siblings.

"There is someone that wants to meet you, can you come with me?" Haru said.

"Who?" Yuri asked curiously.

"They're someone important to you," Haru said.

"Someone important to me?" Yuri became confused.

"I know it is a bit confusing, but please believe in me," Haru said and had a sincere expression on his face.

Yuri felt it was a bit strange but she decided to follow him since even if he tried to molest her she could slam him with the wooden sword on her bag. Even though she had a good impression of him, she wasn't an easy girl who would follow someone who she had just met for an hour to enter a hotel.

"Good, but I can't stay too long."

"Sure."

Haru was glad that he succeeded in bringing her to meet with her sibling.

Yuri was walking with him while talking to each other. Truth be told, she thought that she didn't mind making him into her boyfriend since he was funny and it was fun to talk with him. She was curious where he wanted to bring him, but when she saw a familiar road and then a familiar house. Her expression turned ugly, but she didn't say anything. She thought that it was a coincidence, but she didn't expect it...

"We have arrived," Haru said.

Yuri looked at him angrily and asked, "Why did you bring me here!!"
