It's my fault, alright?

Umi was flustered and tried to tell everyone that everything was a misunderstanding, but they didn't listen to her or rather they were trying to tease her.

"Please listen to me!"

Umi was on verge of crying at that moment, but Haru couldn't help her since his situation was also pretty bad.

"So the next one is Umi?" Maki asked.

"You know... sooner or later, all the girls in this country might be eaten by you," Eli said without mercy.

"Hehehe, you really have a way with your mouth Haru." Nozomi smiled and said, "But if you dare to play us, then we might cut down your thing, alright?"

"...."

Haru twitched his lips and wondered why his situation was so miserable at that moment.

"Cough! Cough! Let's talk about our holiday or else, you might go home quite late later."

Hearing Haru's words, they nodded and started to talk about their trip to the beach.

After this concert last time, they decided to go on a trip to a beach so they needed to talk about their planning.

"Wait a moment! How about we talk about our plan after this?" Eli suddenly said.

"Our plan?" 8x

Haru looked at Eli and nodded. "You mean, you want to do another performance?"

Eli nodded and said, "The summer break is near and we don't have to go to the school so why don't we do another performance during the summer break?"

"Why not?"

"That's a good idea!"

The rest of the members of Muse agreed to do another performance during summer break since they were quite free, but...

"Is there a problem Haru?"

Everyone was looking at their producer, wondering whether there was a problem to do a performance during a summer break.

"Well, there's one problem." Haru nodded since he was quite busy during summer break, but well, it should be alright. "Where do you want your performance?"

".........."

"The nine of you are famous, but it doesn't mean everyone will come to your performance unconditionally unless..."

"Unless?"

"The nine of you are joining an event in the summer," Haru said.

"Event?" 9x

Haru nodded and said, "At first, I was thinking of making the nine of you take a break during the summer break and do your performance after the break since there are many events after the summer break."

Honoka looked at Haru and asked, "Are you busy during summer Haru?"

"........"

When everyone was staring at him, Haru nodded and said, "In truth, I am quite busy during the summer, but it isn't a problem since you can do a performance without me."

"What?!" 9x

They were startled when they thought that they would do a performance without him.

"What are you surprised about? I think it could be a good chance for the nine of you to perform without me, so you might learn a lot of things," Haru said.

"......"

They were dumbfounded.

"Haru, you really can't come during the summer?" Maki asked with a sad expression.

"I... I guess I can come to your summer performance..."

"Yay!!" 9x

The nine of them were happy when they heard his answer.

Haru twitched his lips and said, "I will try to search for an event where you can perform during the summer break, so in the meantime, you can prepare for a costume and a new song, and also do your training."

"Yes!" 9x

"Well, let's talk about the beach trip again, where do you want to go?" Haru asked. He could bring them anywhere after all whether it was around Japan, South Korea, or even Japan.

"If I am not wrong Maki should have a villa on the beach, right?" Rin suddenly said.

"Eh?"

Everyone was looking at Maki with a dumbfounded expression, thinking that she was very rich.

Maki was speechless and said, "What are you dumbfounded for? I might have a villa on the beach, but this guy has a private island!" Her family might be rich, but compared to her boyfriend, it was too far apart.

"......."

They couldn't say anything at that moment.

"I think it is better to not use Maki's villa," Haru suddenly said.

"Huh?"

Maki looked at Haru and said, "You don't need to worry about it since I am sure that papa and mama will give me permission."

Haru shook his head and said, "I am not worried about that, what I am worried about is that we have been giving your family a lot of trouble Maki. Your parents might be alright so they don't say anything, but it isn't good to rely on you all the time."

Haru didn't want everyone to rely on Maki, especially on everything that was related to money, after all, he was afraid the relationship between Maki and everyone will change because of money.

"There are also 30 million yen that I have gotten as a sponsor for your group so you don't need to worry and we can go anywhere for our trip," Haru said.

"30... 30 million yen?!"

Nico was dumbfounded and counted the number with her hand. "I... I'm rich!"

"...It's money for your idol group, not for you Nico," Nozomi said with a speechless expression.

"I.. I know!" Nico seemed to be unwilling since she thought she could use all of that money to buy a lot of idol merchandise.

"So is there a place that you want to go?" Haru asked.

"How about Enoshima?" Kotori asked.

"Enoshima?"

Enoshima is a small island off the Shōnan coast of Japan's Kanagawa Prefecture. It's known for the Enoshima Shrine, with statues honoring Benzaiten, the Buddhist goddess.

The beach on this island might not be the most beautiful, but it was very close to Tokyo.

"I don't really mind," Haru said.

"Why not?"

"Yeah, that place is good!"

"Let's go there!"

After all, they were going during the weekend so they didn't have that much time for this trip. If they went too far, then their time to enjoy the beach trip would be shortened so Enoshima was a perfect place for them.

"I'm going to book up a private villa and all you need to do is prepare," Haru said. He didn't lack money so he decided to buy the private villa directly without telling him.

"Prepare? What should we prepare?" Hanayo asked.

"Isn't that obvious? When you go to the beach, you need to wear something, right?" Haru asked with a smile.

"........"

Everyone was looking at Haru at the same time, and shouted, "PERVERT!!!"

"........"

Haru was speechless but didn't say much.

However, the girls thought that they were going to get their best swimsuit for this trip.

---

After talking about all the necessary things, they decided to return and Haru told his bodyguard to send them back since it was quite dark, but before he returned, Nozomi quickly hugged him.

"What's wrong?"

"I am sorry."

"What for?"

"It was my fault that everything had happened before," Nozomi said then told him how she had told everyone to become his woman together.

"..........."

Haru was speechless. He let out a sigh and patted Nozomi's head. "It's not your fault, it is my fault, but we don't need to think about that anymore since the problem has been solved."

"Un."

Nozomi nodded while hugging Haru since she had to admit that he really had a way with his mouth and she also felt happy with his words before. She then looked up and said, "You know... if you really want to date the nine of us now, there won't be any problem since you have set up the Flag of everyone."

"........."

Haru wasn't sure whether he should feel happy about that or not, but then, he hugged her and carried her in his arms.

"Let's go to your apartment."

Nozomi was blushing, but she nodded shyly. "Un." She could tell that she was going to be punished, but she was pretty happy about it since this punishment was pretty enjoyable.
