The next day.
Haru felt that someone was gathering around him and this made him frown, especially when he heard their conversation.
"Is this the morning wood?"
"Isn't this a bit outrageous?"
"Can we open it?"
Haru decided to open his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"
"..."
Everyone was silent when they saw him wake up suddenly.
"It's good weather, let's play on the outside," Utaha said.
"Yeah, let's tour the town again," Yuri nodded.
"I didn't join them," Sora said and looked away.
"Do you want coffee?" Kato asked.
"Give me a few minutes to calm down," Haru sighed when he thought about the puberty period. He felt that his hormones were really troublesome.
They nodded at him with a blush on their faces.
---
Haru was calm right now and he went out of the hotel to visit the scenery around. Even though he said that it was the only scenery there was a hot spring in this area.
"Utaha, how is your novel?" Haru asked.
"It's not bad, because of your recommendation, there are a lot of people who have bought my book," Utaha gave him a smile and added, "Do you want me to do something for you? For example, taking your virginity?"
"Aren't you a virgin too?" Haru asked her while twitching his mouth.
Utaha ignored him and asked, "Still, you have gotten a lot of girls around you." She looked away and pouted.
"Are you jealous?" Haru asked.
"No way," Utaha said with disdain. She would never admit that she was jealous of the girls around him.
Haru only sighed, looking at her reaction.
Utaha looked at him and asked, "So?"
"So?" Haru looked at her.
"What have you done with my photo?" Utaha asked.
"Photo?" Haru titled his head.
"Are you using your right hand or left hand when you are enjoying my photo in a maid outfit?" Utaha asked.
Haru twitched his lips, "How can you say that kind of perverted word? Also, for your information, I keep it on my wallet right now, do you want to see it?" He thought about teasing her for a bit.
Utaha blushed after hearing her response. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself, "As expected of the pervert, are you going to worship my photo on your wallet?"
"That's not a bad idea, but..."
"But..." Utaha looked at him.
"The photo is one thing, the real one is thousands more beautiful than that," Haru said while looking at her.
Utaha blushed and her face was really hot right now. She looked at him and asked, "How can you be skilled?"
"Guys, there is always a talent in this area, how about we go to the shrine?" Haru asked.
"Shrine? Sure," Utaha nodded and asked, "How about the others?"
"Let's just go with both of us, it has been a while since we've been going together," Haru said.
Utaha blinked her eyes for a second and felt that his words were hard to believe.
"Is it no?" Haru asked.
"Alright, I will reluctantly go with you," Utaha said while looking away.
Haru thought that this girl was really cute, especially that black stocking that wrapped her legs. He took her hand and said, "It will be our little escapade."
Utaha smiled while listening to his invitation.
They walked to the shrine but suddenly they heard someone's voice.
"Where are you going?"
They turned and saw Kato, Sora, and Yuri were there.
"We're going to the shrine together," Utaha said while holding his hand.
Kato, Sora, and Yuri looked at their hands for a while.
"Oh, what a coincidence," Sora said.
"Yeah, we're going there too," Yuri nodded.
"I don't mind going there," Kato said.
Haru sighed and knew that his relationship had become really complicated. He only hoped that they could accept a harem since it was very difficult to maintain this kind of relationship, "Alright, let's go together."
"Eh? We're not going to be together?" Utaha seemed quite dissatisfied.
"It can't be helped since they have realized that we're going together now," Haru whispered and added, "We can go alone together later."
"Hey! Are you not going to the shrine?" Yuri shouted.
Utaha looked at him for a bit and said, "You should make it clear, who are you going to choose?"
"If I'm not choosing you what will you do?" Haru asked.
"..."
Utaha had never thought of that kind of question in her head before. She looked at him and asked, "Who are you going to choose?"
Haru thought for a while and said, "Maybe, I will confess to that girl tonight during the festival."
"Oh, really?" Utaha wasn't sure but she didn't really want to go with him anymore. She felt her stomach churn and hurt right now. She looked at him and asked, "Is she better than me?"
"Is she better? I'm not sure, you're very beautiful, even though your personality is a bit bad, but I know that you're very sweet inside," Haru said, and added, "Also, your legs are just too awesome."
Utaha snorted at his answer, "I'm not going to ask right now, I'm going to wait tonight." She felt better somehow but she still felt curious who would be the one that he asked to go out with. She looked at him and said, "You will regret not choosing me."
"I will," Haru smiled.
"...."
"Let's go, let's go to the shrine," Haru said and held her hand.
Utaha wanted to let her hand go but decided to not do anything right now. She looked at him again and asked, "Are you going to open a harem?"
Haru looked at her with a strange expression and flicked her forehead, "Don't think something stupid."
Utaha caressed her forehead slightly and stuck her tongue out at him.
Haru only smiled at her.
'I won't give up...'
