Chapter 1198 Ex-Girlfriend
After the MV editing process ended, everyone decided to return.
Haru also gave them a souvenir which he bought from Shanghai and shared it with everyone. He could see that Maki and Nozomi wanted him to go to their houses, but he couldn't since he had something to do later and told them quietly that he would go to their houses later.
Everyone returned at the same time, then Nozomi followed Maki since she had something to talk about with her.
"Maki-chan!"
Maki stopped when she was about to enter her car and asked, "What's wrong, Nozomi?" She also looked at Nozomi, and remembered what Haru had said to him before. "Do you want to go back together?"
"Yes!"
Nozomi nodded and it seemed that Maki also knew her relationship with Haru. She had prepared to fight with each other, but it seemed that she didn't need to do that.
Nozomi and Maki entered the car together and they were talking about this hateful man.
"You want to make an MV too?" Haru asked.
"Yes." Iwasawa nodded. She had seen how Haru made an MV and of course, she also wanted to make an MV.
Haru felt that making an MV was a very long process and it was troublesome. He was wondering what he could do to shorten the process to make an MV and then he suddenly remembered something.
Looking at Iwasawa, Shiina, and Yuri, Haru said, "There's a way, but you need to keep quiet about it."
"Why do we need to keep it a secret?" Yuri asked.
"This technology is very advanced and I don't want to sell it in at least 10 or 20 years time," Haru said.
"Huh?!"
Everyone was surprised by Haru's words, only Shiina seemed to not understand, but Shiina nodded regardless.
"Have you heard about virtual reality?" Haru asked.
"Virtual reality?"
Haru explained what virtual reality was and knew that he could use the device which he bought on the world of Accel World to be used on this place. He knew that technology was very advanced in his world so he would only use it for his personal use. He was wondering whether he should make a movie with it later.
Yuri and Iwasawa were amazed, but Shiina didn't understand what was so amazing about this virtual reality.
Haru, of course, realized this and said, "Shiina, in virtual reality, you can make your own kitty kingdom."
"Kitty kingdom!!!" Shiina's eyes were shining.
"Yes, there are going to be a lot of kitties as much as you want with a lot of varieties!"
"…Kitties…" Shiina looked at him and asked, "C - Can I use this virtual reality?"
Haru shook his head and said, "You can't for now."
Shiina suddenly became depressed and hung her head low.
Haru patted Shiina's head since this girl was quite cute. He looked at Iwasawa and asked, "Are you ready to perform at that concert?"
"Yes."
Iwasawa nodded without hesitation.
"In my mind, you should do a performance on the live house like what The Hedgehogs did before," Haru said.
"I know. I'll try to perform at the live house to get used to the feeling, singing in front of everyone."
Iwasawa had sung on the side of the street before, but it would be different if she sang on the live house or the largest outdoor concert in this country. Even if she was alright, her band members might not be alright since they might be too nervous at that time.
"Good. If you go, you should bring one of my bodyguards, that kind of place is dangerous for you to come alone," Haru said.
"I agree with Haru. Safety is everything," Yuri said after she was almost attacked when she came to the live house.
Looking at Haru and Yuri who were worried about her, Iwasawa smiled and nodded. "Yes."
Then after they talked to each other, they left the studio.
Haru had uploaded Muse's video and he was sure that it would receive a lot of viewers soon and it would also raise Muse's rank popularity.
Haru was thinking of eating in his cafe, but then he didn't expect to see someone outside of his cafe.
"Kyouko?"
Haru went out from his cafe and looked at Kyouko who seemed to be impatient, but stood quietly at the entrance of the cafe. He came out from his cafe and asked Kyouko, "Kyouko, what are you doing here?"
Kyouko was startled then looked at Haru for a while since it had been a while since she had met her. She blushed when she remembered her time dating this hateful man, but then she took a deep breath and said, "Can we talk for a bit?"
Haru nodded and said, "Follow me." He wasn't sure what this girl wanted to talk about, but he didn't want anyone to hear their conversation since it might be related to Sakura.
When Haru and Kyouko came out together, the girls who were inside the cafe, of course, noticed the two of them.
"Do you know that girl?" Iwasawa asked.
"If I'm not wrong, she should be Haru's ex-girlfriend. She has come before in the past," Yuri said and wondered what Haru was talking about with Kyouko.
"Do you want to eavesdrop on them?" Iwasawa asked.
Yuri raised her eyebrow then thought for a while, but then Shiina stood in front of both of them and shook her head.
"Eavesdrops are bad. No."
"……"
Iwasawa and Yuri smiled and nodded. "We won't eavesdrop on their conversation."
"Good."
Shiina nodded, sitting on the chair, while waiting patiently for Haru since she wanted to see her kitty kingdom.
"Kitty…"
Haru brought Kyouko to the courtyard of his cafe. He had bought a surrounding house in this area and made this place into his basecamp.
There were a lot of things here, but most of it was used to have fun and a place to stay for Shiina, Yuri, Iwasawa, and Kosaka. Sometimes, Akane also lived in this place to play with Kosaka.
"What were you thinking, going off on a trip like that?" Kyouko looked at Haru angrily.
Haru hadn't had time to explain, but Kyouko continued, "No matter how she might seem, she gets hurt easier than most. In junior high school she spent a whole night crying after breaking up with her boyfriend. She was so depressed that I thought she'd never get on her feet again. She was the same when her favorite teacher switched jobs, and when her parents had a huge fight--"
Kyouko then frowned and shouted, "Did you listen to me?!"
"I hear you." Haru looked at Kyouko.
Kyouko flinched since she felt that Haru had grown, but she cared about her friend and she knew how bastard this guy was.
"You know, Sakura is more delicate than you think. Someone has to stay by her side and watch over her. Do you think you can do that? You, the one who has a lot of girlfriends around you, can you do that?! What is Sakura to you!?" Kyouko raised Haru's collar at this moment since she was afraid that this guy might only play with Sakura. She was in tears and said, "Don't get close to her with half-baked feelings."
"My feelings for her are real," Haru said without looking away from Kyouko's eyes.
Kyouko blushed slightly and hurriedly said, "Don't say that crap to me! I understand your game! You've always said those sweet words to every girl before and even broke up with me even though you have said…" She then quickly shut her mouth since she didn't want to show her real feelings for him.
"That's why I've changed." Haru held Kyouko's hand and said, "This time is for real. I have changed and I won't hurt her. I promise you. I'm not how I used to be."
Kyouko bit her lips and started to feel slightly jealous of Sakura. If this guy didn't break up with her at that time, she would have known that…
Kyouko hurriedly erased such a thought from her mind.
"Sakura is lucky to have a best friend like you," Haru said.
"W, what the fuck are you saying?!" Kyouko became embarrassed, but to hide it she showed anger at him.
"I know that I've made a lot of mistakes and I've even broken up with you. I'm sorry for that and I won't ask you for your forgiveness, but believe me at this time that I'm not playing on Sakura's feelings," Haru said.
In his middle school days, Haru had to admit that he was a scumbag, and he kept changing girls one after another. Though, he had never cheated, he properly broke up with them before changed to another girl, but of course, in that process, he hurt a lot of girls, including Kyouko, who was right in front of him at that moment.
"……"
Kyouko stared at him for a full ten seconds then took a deep breath. She glared at him and said, "If you dare to hurt her……
I will really kill you!"
"You're free to do that," Haru said. He didn't think that this girl was able to kill him, but if he made Esdeath might have the ability to do so now since Esdeath had become even stronger.
When he thought about such strange things, he realized that this girl had been staring at him for a while.
"What's wrong?"
Haru was confused, but suddenly…
He was kissed by Kyouko!
"…"
Haru didn't move at this time, nor did he put his tongue inside Kyouko's.
Kyouko hurriedly parted her lips and said, "Forget everything that happened today and please treat Sakura well for me." She left hurriedly and wiped something from her eyes, but then she turned and said, "But remember that I'll really kill you if you hurt her!" She wanted to say something again, but she quickly ran away.
Haru could see Kyouko's lips were moving and he could see what this girl said to him which made him sigh and feel guilty. He really thought that he was a bastard, when he thought about what he did during middle school time. He then looked up and noticed Kosaka was looking at him.
"…"
Haru and Kosaka were staring at each other in silence.
"Have fun watching?" Haru asked.
Kosaka smiled and asked, "Lover spat?"
"My ex-girlfriend," Haru said.
"Middle school?"
"Yes."
Kosaka took out a can of beer and asked, "Do you want to accompany me to drink?"
"You're not going to work?" Haru asked.
"I'm going to have a drink tonight!" Kosaka said with a smile.
"…"
"Wait for me there."
Haru thought that he really needed to treat his girlfriends better so he wouldn't hurt them like he did on Kyouko like this. Thinking of his girlfriends in another world, he treated some of them unfairly. He often visited his girlfriends that were part of Group Chat, but he didn't visit that weren't part of the Group Chat. He needed to change this and treat them better by visiting them one by one in the future.
