Chapter 465: He's awakened his desires

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

"Recover... I suppose our relationship has recovered, although the situation is still a bit subtle," Seiji told her .

"Eh?"

"It's not easy to explain . At any rate, she's currently my ally . "

"Ally..."

"I told her about how I became a Yin-Yang Master and about the duel I'm joining in soon . She indicated that she wanted to provide me with equipment, and that she wanted to talk to you, so I gave her your phone number . "

"Oh..." Natsuya paused for a moment . "So your relationship with her has improved, but not to the point of completely recovering, right?"

"Yes, you could say that . "

"Understood . No matter what, it's always a good thing to have more people helping out . "

Natsuya said that she would have a proper discussion with Hana and ended the call .

Seiji was quite curious about exactly what they would discuss . But, since he didn't understand the workings of mystical equipment, he figured that there was no need for him to ask to listen in .

He believed in the two of them, so he would simply wait for the results .

Natsuya and Hana had a video chat and discussed in detail about the weapons and equipment that Seiji would use during the duel .

"Let's just do it like that for the idiot's equipment... apart from all this, there's a question I'd like to ask you, Yoruhana-san . "

Hana still wore her cat-eared hat and cute cat mask in front of Natsuya as well .

"What would you like to ask? Haruta-san . "

"Do you want to get married to that idiot?" Hana asked in a very direct manner .

Natsuya's expression froze for a second .

"Why... why are you asking this?" She started to feel panicky .

"Because I feel like the two of you might develop such a relationship . "

"We're just friends..."

"You should take a look in the mirror at your current expression . Only an idiot would believe what you just said . "

Natsuya was rendered speechless .

"He's already told me about the things between you and him . Anyone who has a normal amount of knowledge about relationships between men and women wouldn't believe that the two of you are 'just friends . ' Actually, he's already admitted to me that he's romantically interested in you," the cat-eared hat girl continued .

"Seiji... admitted such a thing?" Natsuya's heartbeat increased and she began blushing an obvious red .

She was literally a beauty in love... Hana felt as if she could detect an acrid smell of youthful love even from across the computer screen!

This made her feel displeased .

"That's right, he indeed admitted it . That's why I want to know just what you think about him . Please answer my question . "

"I... still haven't thought about it..." Natsuya's face was burning up and her eyes became watery .

'Seiji actually admitted it in front of his younger sister... that he's romantically interested in me...'

Her mind was currently all occupied with this one thought . She felt rather dazed, while a warm feeling began spreading in her chest .

"If you haven't thought about it yet, it's best that you think about this in detail starting from right now," Hana stated lightly .

"This... isn't it too early..."

"No, it's not early at all . As you're the daughter of the Yoruhana Family, you should have thought about this issue from the very start . See clearly for yourself whether that idiot is a good partner for your or not, and rationally see what he's really like!"

"Eh?" Natsuya was surprised to hear the last part . What Seiji was really like?

"You should know that Seiji Haruta used to be a depraved otaku scumbag in the past . Even if he's changed now and become a bit more handsome, some foundational things haven't changed at all," the cat-eared hat girl went on in a serious tone . "He's still an otaku, and has a problem common to all disgusting otakus . That is, he has the awful habit of wanting to start a 'harem collection!' Normally, most otakus can only fulfill their harem collecting dreams through game and anime female characters since typical otakus are limited by their personal specs . However, when an otaku with the looks and abilities to pull off such a dream appears, it will become a sinful desire! Seiji Haruta is such a person . He's already awakened to his desires, and having only one girl will never satisfy him! His true self is a shameless pervert who likes to collect all sorts of beautiful girls! He's a demon who will reach out to capture any prey that he likes at all!! His ultimate goal is to create a terrifyingly large harem with countless girls that he can vent his desires on at any time he wishes!!!"

Natsuya was astonished to hear all this .

She didn't know how to react for the time being to Hana's grand speech .

"Don't be misled by his handsome outer appearance . Only by seriously observing and pondering will you be able to see the truth," Hana warned Natsuya seriously .

"Er... got it . " For the time being, Natsuya went along with it . "You have such a low evaluation of Seiji... your older brother . In that case, why are you still helping him out?" She couldn't help but ask .

"Because I'm taking advantage of him," Hana replied . "Although he's a shameless perverted idiot, he still has some uses when being taken advantage of . "

"Taking advantage..."

Natsuya recalled that she had said something similar to Seiji during the Winter Snow Festival and couldn't help but smile .

"Why are you smiling?"

"Nothing, I just recalled something . "

Natsuya looked directly at Hana on the screen .

"You don't actually think that, do you?"

"What?"

"What you said just now... You actually don't have a low evaluation of him at all, do you?"

"Everything I said just now was the truth!" The cat-eared hat girl averted her gaze .

"Although I can't see your expression under your cat mask, I think that what you said just now isn't believable . " Natsuya suddenly felt that Hana was rather cute . Was Hana a so-called tsundere girl?

"It's up to you whether to believe me or not . At any rate, I've already warned you . It's your own problem if you still can't see the truth for what it is, hmph!" Hana spoke coldly . "If you really have to be with him, just go ahead and cry when you find out that he's a harem-loving bastard!"

"A harem..." Natsuya folded her arms . "I haven't thought about this topic before, but judging from Seiji's behavior... perhaps inside him, he really does have a little bit of this sort of interest . "

"Far more than just a little bit! He's basically a harem story protagonist!!"

"Harem story protagonist... Ha, this description actually sounds pretty cute . " Natsuya chuckled at the thought .

"You're even laughing! Do you really not mind?" Hana furrowed her eyebrows .

"Of course I mind . However, it's not strange for an excellent boy to have several girlfriends... no, I should say that it's quite normal . " Something flashed in the student council president's eyes . "Men that have the abilities and looks often have multiple girls around them . That's what I commonly see the most, not the world's common sense about one man being with only one woman . If Seiji creates a harem... at first impression, it does sound rather difficult to accept, but when I compare it to situations in reality, I feel like it's not all that hard to understand anymore . In fact, a person like him... a wondrous talent having only one girlfriend almost feels like a waste of his abilities . "

"W-what!?" The cat-eared hat girl even began shouting out loudly . "You... actually approve of him having a harem!?"

"I'm just considering things from a pragmatic point of view . "

"You're the daughter of the illustrious Yoruhana Family! You can actually tolerate your potential boyfriend having a girlfriend apart from you!?"

Natsuya fell silent for a moment .

"As long as I can maintain my status in his heart, along with making sure that he reins himself in when it's needed... perhaps I'll be able to accept it . "

Hana was stunned to the point where she was staring with her mouth wide agape .

'How could there be such a young lady from an illustrious Yin-Yang Master family!? Is that bastard's charisma truly so outstanding!?

'No, wait, it's precisely because she's a daughter from an illustrious family...'

Just as Natsuya said, for normal people, one man being with only one woman was considered common sense . But for a daughter from an illustrious family like her... in the circles that she was familiar with, in both high society and the mystical society, a man having many women—a harem—was considered normal!
