It was Sunday, and School Tour Day at Otonokizaka High School would be held today which meant Muse would do their performance later in the afternoon.
After Haru returned from Eriri’s house, he still helped Eriri with her lily doujinshi and game illustration.
The relationship between the two of them didn’t change much or rather he was the one who made it didn’t change since there was a need to trigger to make her forget about her childhood friend.
If Haru decided to be aggressive, then the result would be the opposite and the relationship between the two would turn awkward.
It was better for the two to maintain their relationship as usual since Haru also knew that Eriri’s personality was quite cowardly. When she met something that she couldn’t handle she would decide to run away, staying in her comfort zone.
Haru didn’t feel that was wrong since a lot of people also did the same, and Eriri was a girl so it was normal, but the problem was Eriri’s childhood friend didn’t think the same.
Based on his investigation (it is necessary), the relationship between Eriri and her childhood friend was very good and both of them were also an otaku, they were very happy, but in the eyes of the public, an otaku wasn’t being seen in a good light.
If Eriri’s childhood friend had the ability to protect Eriri at that time, then their relationship might not change. Unfortunately, he didn’t have that ability and he also didn’t try to hide his hobby as an otaku in public like Eriri, rather he declared that he was an otaku with pride.
If Eriri’s childhood friend would hide his otaku hobby and do it in private, then the relationship between the two wouldn’t change and both of them would be very close to each other.
Haru also wouldn’t feel weird if both of them had decided to marry each other.
However, such a thing didn’t happen and because of that, Haru entered so suddenly, causing Eriri’s heart to shake.
Sipping a warm coffee, Haru watched the scene over the city through his house.
“Haru, you’re going out to watch a concert, right?” Raikou asked.
“Yes, do you want to come too?” Haru asked.
Raikou nodded and said, “Yes, everyone will come later.”
Everyone knew that Haru had become the producer of Muse, but they had never seen this idol’s performance since they were busy before, but this time, they had time so they were going to watch it together in the afternoon during the School Tour Day at Otonokizaka High School.
Raikou’s relationship with everyone was also very good since all of them were young, she had always thought of them as her own son, even though they were female.
“Then I will go out now.”
Haru hugged Raikou and kissed her lips.
Raikou happily received his kiss and felt very happy in this world since, in this world, she could spend all of her happy days with him.
Then both of them prepared breakfast together, and also did some activities before he went out.
Haru wore skinny jeans, sneakers, and a white collarless shirt. He didn’t wear anything too thick since it was almost summer and the temperature had risen. He also brought a backpack that was filled with cameras and various things to record the performance of Muse later.
Haru decided to come early to Otonokizaka High School, although the event was held in the afternoon, the students needed to come in the morning to do some preparations and also drew a lottery to determine the venues for each club.
In the event, not only Muse wanted to show themselves at Otonokizaka High School, but other clubs also wanted to use this opportunity to show themselves and made contributions to the school.
As an owner of the school, Haru had to admit that it was good to have such a good student.
However, because of that some popular venues such as the school playground, the auditorium, etc., had become a target of various clubs which increased the competition between clubs.
It was also because of that, the school prepared everyone to draw a lottery to determine the locations of those venues.
Haru and Muse wanted to do their performance in the school auditorium, but he was wondering why he felt it would be difficult to do so.
“Haru, you’re late!”
As soon as Haru arrived at the entrance of the Otonokizaka High School, he could see nine girls were standing there, and Honoka immediately complained to him, after all, he wasn’t a student and he was also a male so they needed to accompany him before he could enter the school.
Haru looked weirdly at Honoka and said, “I didn’t expect that one day you would say that I was late.” His feelings were complicated since he knew that the one that had always been late was Honoka, but this time, he was the one that was reprimanded for being late. He looked at his watch and said, “Isn’t it only half-past seven now?”
“Because the lottery starts at 8:30,” Kotori said sweetly.
‘There is at least one hour left…’
Haru wanted to say, but he kept it inside since he could see that everyone was already impatient.
“Let’s enter first,” Eli said and pulled Haru’s hand.
Everyone also started to move and went to the Idol Research clubroom since the lottery hadn’t started, however, the appearance of Haru really attracted a lot of people which made the members of Muse feel helpless.
Looking at Haru once again, they had to admit that this guy was very handsome.
When they entered the clubroom, they sighed in relief since they had escaped from the stare of all the girls at the school.
“So why did you come so early?” Haru asked curiously after he sat down on the chair inside the clubroom.
Eli and Maki sat beside him naturally, and Nozomi sat right in front of him too with a smile before telling him, “If you pick the lottery first, maybe our luck will be better.”
The other girls seemed a bit weird when they saw how Eli, Maki, and Nozomi sat around him so naturally, but they didn’t think too much and also sat one after another.
Nozomi took her tarot card, mumbling some mantras, and said, “The card has already told me that if you can draw the lottery first, then we’ll be able to get auditorium as our venue!”
“It’s only “maybe”, right?”
Haru looked at Nozomi and put his hand on his forehead. “Based on my experience, the result won’t change much whether you draw the lottery first or last, so sooner or later, it will be the same.” Unless some people were cheating then it was impossible to do so. He was also wondering whether he should help them later.
“but it will make us insincere and the gods won’t protect us,” Nozomi said.
“…What does it have to do with gods?”
Haru was speechless when he saw Nozomi’s nervous and pious expressions, but he didn’t say much and decided to ask her to wear a sister outfit later. He tapped his chin and said, “Well, as long as you don’t draw your lottery at the last turn or as long as the auditorium venue isn’t being picked then I might be able to help you.”
“Huh?”
Everyone was surprised by Haru’s words.
“How can you help us?” Nico looked at Haru curiously.
“Well, let’s talk about that matter later, and even if you don’t get the auditorium, there are still many places such as the school playground that is suitable for the venue, and there are only a few clubs in the school, so our probability for the lottery is still very high.”
“That’s right!”
The girls nodded one after another.
“And Nozomi’s luck is so good. If Nozomi draws the lottery then she will be able to win!”
Everyone’s emotions calmed down, and at 8:20, everyone walked toward the place where the lottery was drawn.
As expected, when they were walking, Haru became the center of attention since he was the only guy at this school, but they didn’t think too much since they had often met him and knew that he was related to Muse.
More importantly, Haru was handsome so no one complained, or rather they wanted to get to know him.
However, there was something more important than that when they arrived at the room, as expected, they were the first club that drew the lottery, but when the lottery began, they realized that they had just set up a big Flag!
“What?! The president of the club must be the one that draws the lottery?!”
When the student council members in charge of the lottery announced the rules of the lottery, Honoka and the others called were startled.
“I am sorry, this is the school’s regulations.”
“Why are there such strange rules?!”
Everyone’s gazes subconsciously fell on Nico.
Haru also stared at Nico, even though her skin was delicate and fair, but he always felt that there was a dark aura that surrounded her.
“Um… can you change to other people?”
Honoka rubbed her hands, and said with a flattering smile, “Look, the president and vice-president of the student union are all in our club, so can you look at their faces and allow another person to take the lottery?”
“We don’t have permission for this.” The student union member in charge of the lottery said with a strange expression, And no matter who draws the lottery, the result should be the same, right?”
“No, this is different because our club’s president is Yazawa Nicole!”
The girls shook their heads at the same time.
“You guys are too much!!!”
Nico couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted out loud, “Why do you think that I must miss the lottery? Also, is it my illusion, or have you just mocked me? Although I knew that I was a bit unlucky before, I believe this time I will definitely be lucky! Because this time, I will bet on the luck of my entire life!”
As soon as the voice fell, before Haru and the others had time to stop, Nico turned the roulette of the lottery, and then, while everyone was waiting with a nervous expression, with a “tick” sound, a silver bead symbolizing failure came out.
“…..”
Nico blinked her eyes then turned toward everyone. She made a cute gesture and put on her best smile.
“Nico Nico Nii!”
“NICO!!!!!”
