Haru thinks of greeting Megumi's parents first, but she is blown away when she sees Megumi who has come out of her house. She was a little stunned because this time she was so beautiful.
Normally, Megumi had shoulder-length short hair, but this time her hair became longer enough to reach her back.
Megumi wore a short skirt and black stockings that showed how beautiful her legs were. She also wore clothes that gave her an adult image that would make people mistake her for a college student.
Haru knew that Megumi wanted to wear the skirt because she wanted to look beautiful in front of her. Despite the extremely cold weather, she decided to wear such a short skirt. He walked towards her and felt a little worried, but he also needed to praise her.
“You're beautiful, but don't you feel cold?” ask Haru worriedly.
Megumi showed her usual smile which somehow made her relax and said, “Now it's a bit warm.”
“……”
Haru had to admit that this girl was very cute. She takes her bag and sees both of Megumi's parents coming out of the house.
“Uncle, Aunty, I'll take care of Megumi.”
They smiled and told him to take care of their daughter. Although their daughter is about to take the exam in mid-January, they are not so worried about Megumi as Megumi is very diligent and smart. They thought that this outing was quite good as he might need a break to relax before the exam.
“Bu, Dad, I'm leaving now,” Megumi said and got in the car.
Haru bids farewell to them and then also turns on his car to go to Hakone.
Talking to each other along the way, Megumi often asks him about her school because she is curious about the school that focuses on gambling.
“If you are in my school, I am sure you can even become the strongest gambler in my school,” Haru said.
“Hah? Am I good at gambling?” Megumi's confused.
“Yes, your invisibility allows you to cheat without difficulty,” Haru said with a smile.
“….”
Megumi sulked and pinched his arm.
“Sick! It hurts! I'm driving! Dangerous!”
Megumi “huft” then threw away her face and felt annoyed.
In this situation, Haru could only honestly apologize to her then also give her some jokes to make her laugh.
Megumi wasn't really mad at him, but when they were together they really felt complete. He was very fond of this feeling, and in his heart, he had the selfishness to keep it to himself. He looked at her and saw a mole under her right eye.
“When do you have a mole under your right eye?”
Haru felt a bit strange as many people noticed his mole. “Is it really visible?”
“Well, after all, I see you every day,” Megumi said in a soft voice.
Haru simply smiled and gently clasped his hand.
“Don't think too much and let's enjoy our Christmas Eve.”
“Ya.”
Megumi smiled and held her hand as this was their first Christmas Eve that they would spend together.
Arriving at the hotel, Haru goes to the receptionist with Megumi.
The receptionist was a woman and seeing both partners coming together made her very jealous. It was Christmas Eve but he was working. It was very difficult, especially when he saw many couples staying at this hotel. Looking at Haru, she stared bitterly at Megumi because she also wanted to have a boyfriend like that.
Different from her short hair fashion, her long hair fashion made her a very beautiful girl that would make anyone unable to ignore her.
Haru had asked her before why she did not maintain her long hair.
Megumi's answer is simple and that long hair will be quite hot in the summer.
“……”
Haru was speechless but not thinking too much because her short hair was also quite cute. He had made a reservation beforehand and the receptionist guided them to their room. He also told them that there was a festival around the hotel for every couple staying at this hotel.
Megumi was quite curious about the festival and wanted to see it.
Haru, who wanted to rest lazily could only follow him this time around.
After putting their bags in the room, they went to a clothing rental store inside the hotel to rent the yukata they would wear during the festival.
Megumi picks up the yukata and chooses its size before going into the dressing room.
Haru follows her willingly helping her and tells her that she will help him with the right expression.
“……”
Haru, who helped her change clothes, realized that her clothes were a bit too tight.
“Are your clothes too small?”
“It's not small! Fit!” Megumi will not admit that this yukata is too strict.
Haru also decides not to say anything because the girl is very sensitive about their weight. But it was inevitable because Megumi was in her adulthood and of course, some of her clothes did not fit.
Outside of the clothing rental, the staff thought Megumi and Haru were staying too long in the dressing room. He decided to check what they were doing.
“It's a bit tight.”
“D – Don't overdo it.”
The staff member became jealous and also angry because he did not expect the couple would do such a thing inside the dressing room.
*bom!* *bom!*
“Guests, please do not commit such incident actions inside the dressing room!”
Inside the dressing room, Haru was speechless, but Megumi's face was red with embarrassment.
Haru did not expect that the staff would have such a misunderstanding and he explained to this staff about what had really happened.
The staff apologized several times before leaving them.
“…..”
It was a bit awkward, but it must have been a funny experience.
Joining the festival, there are many couples, but they do not stay too long and return to their rooms to soak together in the hot spring bath.
They had done this in the past, but at that moment, there were Sora, Utaha, and Yuri.
However, this time only the two of them were living together as a couple.
Resting on her chest, Megumi looked at the fireworks that were fired into the sky. He could feel something hard on his back but decided to ignore it because he was so emotional at the moment.
“Haru...”.
“Hmm?”
Megumi pulled her arms around him making him hug her even tighter as if afraid of losing her.
Haru could feel the change in her emotions and could only hug her tighter to convince her that she would not leave him.
After living in a private hot spring bath inside their room, they returned to their room and they lay together on the bed.
Looking at it, Megumi could only say, “Haru.”
“What's wrong?”
“Will you leave me?”
“No I won't.”
Hugging her in his arms, Haru looked at her then kissed her lips.
Megumi felt her heart full at this moment and hugged her even tighter.
Cleaving their lips, Megumi looked at him and said, “I love you.”
Haru kissed her forehead and said, “I love you too.”
Closing their eyes, Haru was about to sleep, but Megumi opened her eyes slowly looking at him.
“Haru, are you awake?” Megumi asked.
“But.” Haru wanted to sleep, but she was ignored.
“Do you want to listen to a story?”
Haru looked into Megumi's dark brown eyes clearly as if she wanted to say something to him.
“Sure.”
Megumi turned to look at the ceiling and began telling a story about a girl and two people important to her.
