The Fault of Protagonist

After Haru and Jeanne returned, they thought that Maya and Mari would come, but it seemed that neither of them came to their house.

---

At Shimon's house, Maya was crying since she wasn't allowed to come to Haru's house.

"Why Mari-onee-chan? Maya wants to go to Jeanne-oneechan and Haru-oniichan!"

Mari blushed since she listened to Maya's story before and heard that Maya always heard some strange noise inside Haru's house, thinking about the lover relationship between Haru and Jeanne, she didn't expect that they would be so open and she thought that it should be normal since they were young and they were very healthy in that area.

Mari thought that the existence of Maya in that house would disturb both Haru and Jeanne so she decided to stop Maya to go to their house for a day.

"Both of them are tired after the first day of school." Mari patted Maya's head and said, "It's better to let them rest for a day and they have also played with you for the past three days."

"Ugh..."

Being reminded, even though Maya was unwilling, she also thought that it was a bit too much for her to play at Haru's house for too long. She wanted to play, but she was afraid that she might trouble them.

"Let's go to their house tomorrow, I will come with you too," Mari said with a gentle tone.

"Really?" Maya looked up expectantly.

"Yes." Mari nodded and said, "I also want to talk with them after all." She heard from Andou that both Haru and Jeanne wanted to become Rank S Saviors, but she felt that both of them were a bit reckless so she decided to talk with them for a bit tomorrow, and she also needed to talk about their unhealthy relationship too, of course.

---

They didn't think too much and spent their time together in this house for the past three days there had always been Maya beside them.

Unlike Haru, who had thick skin, Jeanne had very thin skin and it was very easy for her to get embarrassed.

If Haru didn't use his trick then it wouldn't be possible for him to eat her when there was Maya beside them.

After they ate and drank wine, Haru couldn't wait any longer and brought Jeanne to the bedroom. He placed her on the bed and bit her gently.

"Jeanne..."

Jeanne felt her body very hot and she almost couldn't think straight, but...

"Haru, stop for a moment..."

Jeanne took a breath and her face was flushed at that moment, trying to calm herself since there was something that she needed to ask him.

"What's wrong?" Haru stopped and asked.

"What do you think of Satsuki and Shizuno?" Jeanne asked.

Haru was dumbfounded and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Do you really plan to steal from the protagonist in this world?" Jeanne asked. She had heard that Haru was very good at stealing the heroines from the protagonist, but she didn't expect that in a day, this guy was really able to make the heroines in this world be in dismay about their feelings toward this bad guy.

Jeanne had to admit that this guy was really attractive, powerful, gentle, and full of tricks that could make every girl happy. She also understood why there were a lot of girls that fell in love with him, and he was always there when the heroines needed someone by their side the most.

Jeanne looked at Haru and said, "I have heard Satsuki's story before and I can see how much she loves her brother, but after meeting you..." Even though it was hard to accept, she was a girl after all and she could tell how Satsuki's feeling toward this bad guy.

"You think I was at fault for provoking them?" Haru asked.

Jeanne nodded and said, "Yes." She had a serious expression on her face and said, "If you are not serious about them, it is better to not be gentle toward them since they'll be hurt by you."

"But they know that we are dating each other," Haru said.

"But you're a harem protagonist!"

Jeanne let out a sigh and said, "I have never thought too much about this identity before, but I realize how strong this ability is."

"You're wrong, Jeanne."

"Huh?"

"My feelings about you and our relationship aren't because of my identity as a harem protagonist, but because I love you and you love me." Haru held Jeanne's hand gently and said, "We have decided to be together by our own will, not by something else."

Jeanne smiled gently and felt that her heart was melting, but at the same time, she realized how fatal this guy was for a woman. She let out a sigh again and felt the protagonist in this world was a bit pitiful.

"What's wrong?" Haru asked with a confused expression since Jeanne suddenly let out a sigh.

"I somehow felt pity toward the protagonist..." Jeanne said with a sigh.

"You don't need to feel pity for him," Haru said and hugged Jeanne in his arms.

Then both of them laid on the bed with Jeanne using Haru's arm as a pillow arm.

"Why don't I need to?"

"You know that is the main trait of most protagonists in Japanese Light Novels?" Haru asked.

"What?"

"Indecisive." Haru held Jeanne's hand and said, "If my appearance isn't there, then both Satsuki and Shizuno will probably be in love madly with the protagonist, for example, Shizuno might kiss the protagonist or put his face on her breasts every time they meet each other."

"Huh? How can that be? Shizuno isn't that kind of person!" Jeanne didn't think that Shizuno was such a shameful woman.

"What if the relationship between the protagonist and Shizuno is a husband and wife in the previous lives?"

"This..?" Jeanne was at loss and didn't think that it was a bit weird when Shizuno was kissing the protagonist and put the face of the protagonist to her breasts, every time they met each other if she thought that both of them were lovers in previous lives.

"Shizuno's family is a chain for her and even if she's alive, she doesn't have her own free will since she's the puppet of her family."

"....."

Looking at Jeanne's expression, Haru smiled and caressed her smooth forehead gently, thinking that this girl was really gentle. "Whether someone is rich or poor, each of them has their own problems, Shizuno might be rich, but she doesn't have her own will and sleeping might be her only way to escape from her family."

"Why?" Jeanne asked.

"It's because, inside her dream, she can remember all of her previous lives, her happy lives with her husband, without the constraint of her family, that's why she's always sleeping," Haru said.

"How can you know all of that?" Jeanne asked with a dumbfounded expression since she knew that this guy didn't know the story of this world then how could he know about all of that.

Haru smiled gently and said, "It's because I understand woman's heart, dear. If I don't understand it, then it is impossible for me to date all of you."

"..."

Jeanne was in shock and realized that this guy had a more terrible existence than she had thought, but...

Jeanne knew that she really loved this bastard!

Jeanne hugged him tightly and asked, "Then what is the protagonist going to do?" She was curious, wondering whether the protagonist would let this bad guy steal all the heroines.

"What is the protagonist going to do?"

Haru smiled and said, "Nothing."

"...Nothing?" Jeanne was dumbfounded.

"Yes, I can tell that he's the type that loves to pretend that he's a normal or weak student since he doesn't want trouble to keep coming toward him, but during the critical moment, he's going to help his loved ones without hesitation."

"..."

Jeanne felt that the protagonist was full of contradictions.

"It feels like a contradiction, right? That's what humans are, they're full of contradictions, however, I don't think what this protagonist does is a good thing," Haru said.

"Why?"

"I am not sure whether the protagonist has remembered the memory of his previous lives, but if he remembers then he should talk with the heroines without hesitation and I have a feeling that he should remember Satsuki."

"Really?" Jeanne was surprised and asked, "Then why didn't he say anything before?" She knew from Haru that the protagonist of this world should be Haimura Moroha, who was also from their class, and that was why she was confused why Haimura didn't say anything to either Satsuki or Shizuno before.

"Because he's hesitant. He's hesitant, what will their reaction be when they know about his real identity? Will they hate him? Will they accept him? Will their relationship return to how it used to be?"

"That guy is thinking too much," Jeanne said with a frown.

"This is why I have said the real problem of the protagonist in this world is indecisive." Haru let out a sigh and said, "If the protagonist really won't do anything until the critical moment, then I am afraid..."

Haru was about to finish his words, but...

"If it's really like that then just take both Satsuki and Shizuno," Jeanne said without hesitation.

"....."

Haru was dumbfounded and didn't expect this girl to react so strongly.

"I don't think with someone like that Satsuki and Shizuno can be happy..." Jeanne let out a sigh and thought that the protagonist was a bit disappointing somehow.

"Well, let's not think about something like that, how about we continue where we were before?"

"Oh, you..."

Jeanne blushed and wanted to say something, but his mouth was faster.

They were kissing and hugging passionately swallowing each other's existence, then...

The author didn't need to explain, right?
