Chapter 1220: Complicated Relationship

It was time to go home, Haru walked out from the school together with Kiriko since they had promised to go out, but they didn't go out immediately since Kiriko was in charge of helping the teacher. To fasten the process, he also helped her, but then, he realized that there was something wrong with Kiriko and at the same time, he realized that someone was looking at them.

Haru was in his classroom, looking at Kiriko who seemed to be absentminded, sitting in front of him. He glanced and saw a boy who stared at Kiriko from the gap of the door of the classroom.

"Hmm?"

Haru knew this guy since his photo happened to be on Chieko's laptop. It wasn't because Chieko had a relationship with this boy, but because this boy was very smart that he received a recommendation to go to MIT.

'If I'm not wrong, his name should be Shouma Ameku.'

Haru was wondering whether this boy had something to do with Kiriko. From his observation, he could tell this boy was in love with Kiriko and from Kiriko's expression, he could tell that she was being confessed by this boy.

"Kiriko?"

"Y, yes?"

Kiriko was startled when her name was being called. Her mind was in a mess after she received that confession and she wasn't sure what to say at that moment.

"Did you receive a confession or something?" Haru asked.

"H - Huh?!" Kiriko opened her eyes wide and seemed to be surprised when Haru asked this question. "H - How did you know?!"

"You're a cute girl after all, isn't it normal for you to receive a confession?" Haru said with a smile.

Being praised as cute, Kiriko blushed then a pink light suddenly released from her body. "W, what?!" She was startled and didn't expect that she would go berserk with praise then she hurriedly held Haru's hand to calm her down.

"Fuh...."

Kiriko was very close to Haru because she often her HI-ERO particles were on berserk. When they were together, she often released a HI-ERO particle and to calm herself she needed to hold Haru's hand. She wanted to hold him and do something more, but their relationship wasn't a couple after all which made her sigh.

"Did you reject or accept? If you accept his confession then you shouldn't hold my hand," Haru said.

"Ugh..."

Kiriko was surprised then asked, "Haru... do you want me to accept his confession?" When she asked this question, she was scared when she thought that he didn't have feelings toward her.

"Do you like him?" Haru asked.

"I...."

Haru nodded and said, "I guess, you might have had feelings for him in the past, but then it slowly faded. However, when he suddenly confessed to you... should it be in the morning?"

Kiriko nodded.

"Then you feel confused since you're not sure about your feelings?" Haru said.

Kiriko was amazed and asked, "H - How did you know?"

"That's not the problem here." Haru stared at Kiriko and asked with a smile, "So who is the guy who makes you hesitant to accept the confession in the morning?"

"......"

'It's you!'

Kiriko wanted to scream at this moment, but then she was also scared. Then suddenly the HI-ERO particles on her body were gone on berserk once again, and it couldn't be stopped even if she held her hand with Haru.

"W, what should I do?!"

But then Kiriko was hugged and the HI-ERO particles on her body were stabilized.

"You should control your power, you know? What if someone sees you?" Haru said with a helpless expression. He was a bit dumbfounded when he knew that Kiriko was also an "Factor" and she couldn't control her HI-ERO particles very well which made him realize that this girl was perverted.

"I.... I...."

Kiriko became fl.u.s.tered, her face blushed, and her entire body was very hot.

The distance between the two of them was very close and the feeling on her heart was bursting at this moment.

"H, Haruka-kun, I, I...."

"Kasugano-kun, this is where you are! I've been searching for you!"

"........"

Suddenly the atmosphere became stagnant, and the three of them were looking at each other.

"K, Kiriko Kiyuna!"

"S, Sonan Kyouko!"

Haru looked at both of them and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Haru was walking together with Kiriko and Kyouko at the same time. He didn't feel surprised when both of them knew each other since Kiriko was a pilot of the Daimidaler and Kyouko was working at the Beauty Salon PRINCE.

"So... you're the new pilot of Daimidaler?" Kiriko looked at Haru in surprise and disbelief. She didn't expect the boy that she liked would become a pilot of the Daimidaler.

"No, I don't agree to become their pilot," Haru said.

"What?!" Kyouko was startled and pulled Haru's hand. "Why?! Didn't you agree to become one yesterday? Why didn't you want to become one now?!"

Haru was speechless and asked, "....When have I ever agreed to become pilot of Daimidaler?"

"You...! A, after what you have done to me then you want to run away now?" Kyouko was almost in tears at that moment when she thought that this guy had done it to her.

"Kasugano Haruka-kun!" Kiriko was furious and thought that Haru and Kyouko had done that kind of thing.

Haru massaged his temple and said, "Stop it you two!"

His voice made them shut their mouths, but they kept staring at Haru.

"Sonan Kyouko. I've never promised to become a pilot of Daimadaler since I don't know anything about you or your organization. I need to be careful after all, what if you're trying to fool me?" Haru said.

"What? Of course not! Do you think I'll deceive you?!" Kyouko asked.

"No." Haru shook his head and said, "You're too stupid to do that."

"YOU.....!!!!" Kyouko was furious and threw the table that was right beside her.

Kiriko stared at both of them with a scrutinized gaze since their relations were very close at this moment.

"Haru, tell me the relationship between the two of you!"

Kiriko was furious when she thought that Haru was dating someone else and didn't tell her the truth.

Haru took a deep breath and wrapped his hand around Kyouko's waist.

"What?!" 2x

Kyouko and Kiriko were startled by Haru's action.

"Kiriko, I know that it might be late, but she's my girlfriend," Haru said.

"What?!" 2x

"W, what are you saying?!" Kyouko blushed, but then she heard a whisper from him which made her body giddy.

"I'll become a pilot of Daimidaler if you go along with me," Haru whispered.

Kyouko wanted to say something, but quickly agreed and she didn't hate the idea of being his girlfriend.

"Kiriko, you should accept that boy's confession," Haru said.

"I...."

Kiriko stared at Haru for a while with an unwilling gaze before running away.

Haru sighed when he saw tears in Kiriko's eyes, but his thought was broken when he heard this voice.

"Was it alright?" Kyouko asked.

"It's alright. It's better that she isn't with a sc.u.mbag like me," Haru said. He looked at Kyouko and said, "Thank you, Kyouko. Let's go." His feelings for Kiriko weren't that strong and it was better to let her go since he couldn't love her alone.

"Umm..."

Kyouko blushed and nodded, but then she remembered his words.

"You're a sc.u.mbag?" Kyouko asked with confusion.

"I date a teacher," Haru said.

"......."

Kyouko was dumbfounded and wasn't sure what to say for a moment.

"Let's gom I want to cut my hair in your organization," Haru said and tapped Kyouko's shoulder.

"H, Huh?!"

Kyouko wasn't sure, but she felt that her heart was at loss at that moment.
