Arriving at the venue, Haru thought it would be a boring party with a group of old men talking about complicated things. He knew that he needed to have this socialization meeting in the future, and it was not wrong for Taichi to invite him, but then again, he was not a politician. He's just a businessman and he's thinking about his advantage over the election.
There are two major differences between businessmen and politicians.
One holds the lives of the people, while the other gives the people hope.
Unlike an entrepreneur who will give money and life to his employees and also give what he has promised, but whether the rewards are fair or not, it is another matter. Politicians will give hope to many, but once they get their position, they will soon forget their promise.
In the end, there are good and bad politicians and businessmen in this world.
Haru is a good businessman because he is quite generous to his people.
Taichi can be considered a pretty strong politician and his career is pretty good, but then again, he doesn't wake up after he finds out the story his granddaughter has told him. ‘Risking all his money into the future of gold?’ If he did not know then he would hit his grandson for doing something stupid, but his grandson succeeded. There was nothing he could say at that time.
The moment Haru and Taichi entered the venue, both of them attracted everyone's attention.
Taichi, of course, was a famous figure and also had a lot of power in Chiba, but then the person walking beside him was famous because this young man had mastered a number of mediums under his hands.
For a group of politicians, Haru is just a big supporter as long as they can get him to promote them then their election will be guaranteed.
For a group of entrepreneurs, they can't wait to talk about investing, and more when they see it.
To a group of young women and the wives of everyone in this place, Haru was just candy in their eyes. They could not wait to walk up to him and look at him more closely. ‘I – If possible then they also want to touch his arm or body ...’
Haru did not know what they were thinking, but he was also an Emperor and knew what to do in this kind of situation.
But his premonition was right because Taichi had brought it because his grandfather wanted to show it off to everyone that left him speechless.
Their conversation was quite simple, and they only asked about investment advice.
Haru was just nonsense on the spot, too lazy to talk to them because he did not think that they would meet often in the future.
The people who came towards Haru forgot that Haru was a high school student when they saw him and really thought that this person was an experienced investor with a decade of work experience.
Haru's experience in quests made the aura all over his body not something that high school students should have, and it made some people think that he was an old driver.
Haru who boasted everyone thought that he might have the talent to become the sect leader after seeing everyone's reaction. He suddenly thought that it was possible to open his cult.
‘How about the Wealth Cult?’
But again for people who can come to this place everything is not stupid and they also have a lot of experience because that is not the case how they can stand on top of some people.
Even though they were interested in investing in him, they were still cautious.
However, if Haru heard what they were thinking, he would only sneer because he had no intention of helping them make money. It was easy to deceive them or invite them to invest in him, but he did not want to do that because he did not want to manage other people's money because it was very troublesome.
His intention to get rich was to live a comfortable life with his girls. If he was managing other people's money then how could he live a comfortable life?
Haru thought of retreating and letting his grandfather organize the group of people, but another group of young women came towards him. He only sighed inwardly because he wanted to immediately escape from this drama!
Haru remained calm and maintained his fake smile, but he suddenly saw a pink-haired girl, whom he met at the Hakone hot spring inn before talking to a petite black-haired girl. He shook his head and did not think too much about them.
Erina who had already arrived at the party was very upset.
As Erina entered the party, her eyes were drawn to Haru who was talking to a group of people. He had to admit that Haru who was wearing a suit was very handsome, and ignored the content of their conversation because he was not so interested in the financial world. His world was culinary and creating delicious dishes was something he loved.
Different from the free-spirited Alice goes for a walk with curiosity while talking to everyone.
Erina was quite restrained and she was in a very bad mood giving off air which made it very difficult for people to approach her telling them to stay away from her.
“I want to go back.” 2x
Erina was startled then turned her head and looked at Haru who was suddenly standing beside her. He blushed and said, “K – Why are you here?!”
“What's up? You don't want me to be here?” ask Haru.
“NO!” Erina suddenly felt very sorry to say this to him, but then she saw him looking at her intently. “A-What? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Hmm, is it just me, but I've seen you wear this dress somewhere?” Haru said and thought that he had seen her in this dress. “True, that's the photo Alice sent me earlier.”
Erina felt embarrassed and pointed at her hand. “Y – You haven't deleted my photo?!”
Haru sighed and said, “This is a very beautiful photo, I saved it on my phone.” He showed her his smartphone.
“Give me! Delete!” Erina blushed and tried to catch her smartphone.
Haru was very happy to do this because Erina was pressing down on her body. He simply raised his hand as it was impossible for him to get his smartphone from her. “I'm just kidding. I've deleted it.”
Erina also realized that they were within a very close distance, and hurriedly moved away. “I – Is that true? You didn't lie to me?”
“If you still doubt me then you can check it,” Haru said and showed her smartphone.
“W – Well, I'll believe you...” Erina thought for a moment and asked, “Your food will be sold tomorrow right?”
Haru nodded and said, “You should buy it and check if it is good or not.”
“I know. Thank you,” said Haru.
“T – Then what about Shoujomu manga? What kind of manga will you publish?” Erina asked timidly. He was more curious about his Shoujo manga.
“Well, whether I will publish it or not, it will depend on the magazine results tomorrow, but I have a story in my head.” Haru looked at Erina and asked, “Do you want to hear it?”
“W – Well, let's see if this story is good or not, tell me!” Erina said as she looked at him waiting for him to tell a story.
Haru thought for a moment and decided to tell Erina about the story of “Kimi ni Todoke”.
Erina listened quietly and was eager to hear more stories.
“Kasugano-san, your grandson is quite close to Miss Nakiri, are they in a relationship?”
Taichi just laughed and did not say much. “It's a young boy problem.” Waving his hand, he changed the subject.
The pink-haired girl looked at Haru for a bit and narrowed her eyes. This action was noticed by the petite black haired girl beside him. He looked at Haru then looked at the pink-haired girl beside him. “Fujiwara-san, are you interested in that man?”
“Yah The pink haired girl looked around and whispered. “Kaguya-san, actually, I've seen her in hotels with other girls before.”
“!!!!”
It seemed like this social party would not be too boring when the two of them started talking about gossip.
Alice was very upset to see Erina and Haru, who were talking to each other. He could see that even if he did nothing, they might have a relationship sooner or later. He started to get upset then suddenly decided to walk towards them to join their conversation.
Hearing Haru's story, Erina was very impatient to read it. “If you have succeeded, then you should tell me.”
“You really like Shoujo manga, yes?”
“I don't like it! I hate him!” Erina said without hesitation and snorted.
Haru knew very well about Erina's personality and said, “That's right, Erina..”.
“Erina?” Erina blushed as she did not expect him to call her first name.
“Is that okay?” ask Haru.
“Well, I'll let you call me that.” Erina nodded.
“Then, you can call me Haru,” Haru said.
“Yah, Haru..” Erina calls her name slowly with a blushing face.
Haru thought for a moment and recalled the thing he got from the Hundred world and thought of making a unique dish out of it. “Erina, can you help me make a dish?”
“What dish?” asked Erina curiously.
But before he asked Erina, they suddenly heard a voice.
“I'll help you!”
Suddenly Alice appeared and said, “Erina is quite busy with her work and she will be Elite 10 in high school later. The schedule may not work and I will help you replace it!” Her face looked proud as if telling her to be happy that she had helped him.
“T-Wait...” Erina wanted to say something but…
“So, you want to help her yourself, Erina? You like it so you don't want to be bothered?” Alice asked.
“No! I don't like it!” Erina said blushingly, but she started to regret what she said.
“…”
Haru looked at Alice wondering what this girl wanted to do.
“That's why I'll help you!” Alice looked at Haru and said, “There are still four days before school starts! You can go to my mansion at Tootsuki Academy, okay?” He grabbed Erina's hand and said, “Tell me when you want to come later, so I can prepare myself! For now, we will be back!” He pulled Erina's hand and returned from the party.
“Wait, Alice!” Erina yelled at her cousin.
“….”
Haru did not even say anything, but he sighed as he thought of the two sisters who were extremely beautiful.
“Are you having fun?” Taichi walked beside her and asked.
“…..”
“Come back too.”
Taichi nodded and thought that the engagement between him and young miss Nakiri was real after seeing how close they were.
Haru had no idea what Taichi was thinking, though, but he was glad he could come back and thought about researching more about the dish he would make with Alice later because it could be a dangerous meal if he made it carelessly.
