Chapter 1189: Home 1

In the morning, Haru, Ritsu, and Kanzaki were in the kitchen, preparing breakfast together.

Watching two girls, Haru had to admit that Ritsu and Kanzaki had a personality which men wanted to marry in their life.

Ritsu was a very cheerful girl and stayed by her side, his mood also became cheerful and she was also very dependable.

It was also the reason why he had made her his secretary and managed some of his business.

Haru knew that Ritsu might be able to manage all of his businesses alone, but he didn't do that since he didn't want her to be too busy so he could see from time to time.

Ritsu's problem was she wasn't a human, she was an artificial intelligence after all.

However, that problem had disappeared and her body had become a human, or, half-human?

Haru wasn't sure, but in the end, in his eyes, Ritsu was just an attractive girl.

For Kanzaki, she was the personification of "Yamato Nadeshiko" itself. She was poised, decorous, kind, gentle, graceful, humble, patient, virtuous, respectful, benevolent, honest, charitable, faithful.

It was what everyone thought, but in truth, Kanzaki was a very rebellious girl.

Though, it was very rare for her to show her rebellious side, when the situation called for her, she would show it without hesitation.

Haru sighed and thought that it was good to stay with both of them, but it was until...

*Ding! Dong!*

Suddenly someone pressed the door alarm of his apartment.

"Who is it?" Haru asked.

"Hmm...." Ritsu smiled and said, "You should open it, Haru."

"......"

Haru looked at Ritsu and suddenly realized who was the one who pressed the bell and caused chaos on his morning.

It wasn't the only time since this person kept pressing the door alarm of his apartment several times.

"......"

Haru sighed and said, "I'll open the door."

Ritsu and Kanzaki nodded and continued to cook breakfast.

Haru walked through the door and said, "We're not going to buy subscribe a daily newspaper."

"I'm not selling newspapers!"

"I don't believe in cults!"

"I'm not going to invite you to a cult!"

"Then what do you want?"

"I want to eat."

"........"

Haru sighed and opened the door and saw three figures in front of him.

One of them was a bipedal octopus and the other two were his ex-classmate and a woman.

"........"

Kaede was in a daze for a while when she saw Haru since this guy became even more handsome.

"Haru, here, I've brought you some of my cooking," Aguri said and showed a plate with something on the top of it.

"........"

Haru looked at the black matter on the top of the plate and asked, "What is that?"

"It's a fried egg," Aguri said.

"Fried egg?"

"Fried egg!"

"........"

Haru looked at Korosensei and Kaede who looked at him with a begging expression. He sighed and said, "Enter."

"Yay!"

Kaede and Korosensei ate very fast as if they hadn't eaten for three days and three nights. No one knew what kind of nightmare they faced last night. Just thinking about it made them shudder.

Kanzaki and Ritsu looked at both of them with surprise expressions, and then looked at the black matter in the middle of the table.

"Try this egg! I've just cooked it myself before!" Aguri said with a smile.

"......"

No one was going to reach that black matter.

After breakfast was over, Haru, Ritsu, and Kanzaki went out together to take a trip around the country.

Haru might have come to this world, but he felt that it was too troublesome to talk with the rest of his ex-classmates and he felt that it was better to spend his time with Kanzaki and Ritsu.

Kanzaki thought that it was very fun to skip school to have a trip with him. Though, when she looked at Ritsu, she was wondering whether Haru had crossed the border of humanity and even exceeded it.

They had decided to go to Shiga prefecture, where the largest lake in Japan was located, Lake Biwa.

It wasn't that they wanted to go to this place, but they had chosen the location of the trip randomly.

The three of them didn't mind and they wanted to escape from Aguri's black matter which could kill anyone as long as they put it into their mouths.

Haru was wondering how someone could be so bad at cooking, but when he thought about Cecilia, he felt that humans might have one or two shortcomings in their life.

However, at the same time, he realized the only place that he hadn't come to in Japan was probably the smallest major island on Japan which was known as Shikoku Island. But he could do that later and enjoyed his trip to Shiga prefecture.

Overlooking the blue lake in front of him, Haru had to admit that Lake Biwa might be the most beautiful lake in the country. He had heard that there were a lot of ancient poems and literature work about this lake, showing how popular this lake was.

Haru also saw the famous Torii gate which was located in the middle of the lake and he could feel some sacred aura from it that would make normal people come and pray to it. As a shrine owner, he could tell that the number of donations of the temple which was located on the nearby lake would be a lot and he was sure that the priest who owned that temple was very rich.

"Haru! Look! That's a lot of birds!" Kanzaki pointed toward the sky.

Haru looked toward the sky and thought that they were really coming at the lucky time since they could see this scenery.

"Every year, there is a time when 5,000 water birds come to this lake. We're really lucky to be able to see this scene directly," Ritsu said. Unlike her previous body, she could feel the change of the temperature and how warm it was when she held his hand. She felt happy with her new body and thought that it was wonderful.

The three of them spent their days wandering around Shiga prefecture, trying various foods, playing games, visiting a number of historic sites, etc.

When five days had passed, Haru sent Ritsu to the world of Black Bullet where Sumire was waiting for her. He knew that Ritsu had given him a chance to talk with Kanzaki alone. He knew that he needed to talk with Kanzaki alone so he was very grateful to Ritsu.

Wearing a yukata, Haru and Kanzaki were sitting on the terrace of their room in one of the oldest hotels in Shiga prefecture.

"So she's going back?" Kanzaki asked.

"Yes," Haru said.

"Where is she going?" Kanzaki asked.

"There are a lot of places," Haru said.

"I see...."

Kanzaki looked at Haru and wanted to ask whether she could come with him. She felt that living with him was more interesting than going to school and for the future, she didn't need to worry since she felt as long as she was with him, they would be able to face any troubles which they might face in the future, but she decided to keep her mouth closed and watched the scenery of Lake Biwa at night which gave another sense of charm.

Kanzaki was mesmerised and said, "It's beautiful."

"Yes, it is beautiful."

Kanzaki noticed that Haru was looking at her which made her blush. She was glad that it was at night so he couldn't see her face clearly. She looked at him and only asked him a simple question.

"When are you going back?"

Kanzaki knew that Haru didn't have a home (not in literal meaning) in this world where he could go back, so she wanted to be that home and welcomed him whenever he felt tired of his work.
