Side Dish

Haru told the property agent that he would buy this house. As expected, the reaction of the property agent was very surprised before they looked at him with a strange expression.

'Is this young man trying to get himself killed?'

But the property agent didn't say anything afterward since he could get the money from the commission from this transaction.

Haru said that he would contact his guardian and would contact him again in a few days to finish the transaction.

The property agent didn't mind waiting since he had tried to sell this house several times in the past, but no one bought it. He had found a buyer and didn't mind waiting for a few days or a week.

Haru talked with the property agent for a bit and went to the supermarket to buy some snacks for those three children ghosts. He wasn't sure whether they would eat it or not, but he needed to try.

Coming back to the house, Haru gave the snacks to the three children and could see that they were very happy. Saying goodbye to the three of them, he suddenly remembered about his live streaming on the "group chat". He took his smartphone and saw that everyone was very noisy in the "group chat".

Gintoki: "Dammit! Haru! You need to find their older sister no matter what!"

Kuroneko: "Yeah, hurry up, and find her!!"

Tsunade: "Damn, those robbers!!"

Tsunade was very angry when she saw those cute children had become ghosts because they were killed by robbers. At first, she thought that they were harmful but when she saw him purified them. She didn't expect that the three ghosts would turn into three cute children with a scared expression. She knew very well from their expression that they had experienced something that children shouldn't experience in their life which made her very frustrated and wanted to blast away those robbers who had killed those three children.

Yajima: "Haru, I will help you too. You also need to find their older sister too!"

Haruka: "Thank you, I will try to search for their older sister as soon as possible."

Closing his smartphone, Haru entered a convenience store and bought a cup of instant noodles. He was quite hungry and decided to eat in this place. Pouring hot water on the cup noodle, he sat down on the nearby seat while waiting for three minutes for the noodles to be ready. Pondering for a while, he decided to call his aunt to tell her about his intention to buy a house.

It didn't take him a long time before his aunt answered him.

"Hello, Haru? What's wrong?"

"Can I not just call you because I miss you?"

"Hmph, how many women have fallen into your arms with those sweet words?"

Haru decided not to talk about any nonsense again since he knew that he couldn't flirt with his aunt.

"Hey, Aunt..."

"Don't call me aunt!! Call me an older sister!!"

Haru wanted to spit since his aunt was almost 30 years old but he didn't say anything since the woman's age was a very sensitive matter. Even though his aunt wasn't that old, it was hard to call the little sister of his father, older sister.

"......."

"Why don't you say anything?"

Her voice was really scary and gloomy at the same time.

"Alright, Nee-san, can you help your only little brother?"

"What is it? Do you need money?"

"No, I need you to become a guarantor."

"Guarantor? Are you going to buy something?"

"Yeah, I want to buy a house."

"......"

"What do you want to buy again? I didn't hear it clearly earlier."

"House."

"......."

"How old are you again?"

Haru thought for a while and answered, "This year should be 15 years."

"Young!!!"

"Is that a compliment?"

"Is your novel really making that much money?"

"Yeah, of course. your little brother is a very famous novelist," Haru answered. He didn't really mind joking around with his aunt.

"Even though your novel is good, don't forget about your study. I understand why you have decided to drop out but you need to enter a high school next year!"

Haru nodded, "Yeah, you don't really need to worry about that."

"Alright, I will go there in two days since I also have something to do there."

"Hmm, do you have something to do here?" Haru asked.

"Yeah, I will change my job."

"Change your job?" Haru was surprised to hear that she would change her job. "What's wrong with your school?" He knew that his aunt was working as a teacher at a high school in Chiba and wondering why she decided to change her job all of sudden.

"Not changing my job, but I'm going to teach in a different school."

"Hmm, alright, good luck," Haru said. He didn't think much about it since it was her freedom to change her working place.

"See you in two days."

"See you."

Hanging his phone, Haru looked at his noodle and knew that it was ready. It might be because he craved MSG that he decided to eat something unhealthy such as instant noodles. Eating his noodles, he saw a young man with red hair and burgundy colored eyes sat beside him. He couldn't see his face since it was covered with long hair.

Looking at his cup noodle which this young man was about to eat, Haru felt a bit sorry since he could feel that this young man seemed a bit depressed and the cup noodle which this young man had bought was the cheapest one on the convenience store. He took the egg and tempura chips which he had bought earlier and shared it with this young man.

"Hey, take some."

The young man seemed surprised when Haru suddenly talked to him. He shook his head and said, "Thank you, but no."

Haru didn't shy away and continued, "Please, I've bought too much. It'll be wasteful to throw it away later."

Looking at Haru for a while, the young man finally nodded and took the side dish which was given to him by Haru.

Smiling, Haru nodded and could see that this young man was very hungry. He didn't say anything afterward and ate his food quietly together with this young man. After eating his food, he looked at the young man and said, "Bye, young man. Let's meet again sometime." He didn't go out directly and bought ice cream for Sora who was waiting at him before he went back.

"Young man? We're the same age, right?"

The young man looked at Haru's back and felt quite grateful for the side dish which Haru had given since he was very hungry. Inserting his hand inside his pocket, he had only a little money left. This money was for breakfast tomorrow, but since he had eaten quite a lot since Haru had given him a side dish. He decided to buy manga for his little sister who was in the hospital. Picking up a manga on the magazine corner, he was wondering why it was so expensive. But even so, he would buy it for her since he knew that staying all the time in the hospital would be very boring and he hoped this manga could become some entertainment for his only little sister.
