The next day, after the talk about their preparation, if something really happened at the Nine Schools Competition, Haru and the members of the student councils from Mayumi, Miyuki, Azusa, and Suzune had lunch together, including Mari together in the student council member room.
Mayumi had trouble on her mind at that moment, but her thought was distracted by the scene in front of her. Not only her, but Miyuki, Azusa, and Mari were also distracted at that moment. They had some doubts in the past, but they had never thought too much. However, their doubts kept piling up, and somehow they almost couldn’t help but wanted to ask this question, even though they were still hesitant.
Haru and Suzune were sitting next to each other, she looked at him and asked, “How is it?”
“It’s pretty good, it seems that your cooking skill has become better,” Haru said without hesitation, tasting the karaage (Japanese fried chicken) that was made by Suzune.
“You know, you shouldn’t eat meat and fried food all the time,” Suzune said with a sigh.
“Isn’t this the reason why you have made some greens on the bento?” Haru said.
“By the way, teach me some vegetable-type recipes later,” Suzune said.
“Sure.” Haru nodded.
Suzune looked at him with a smile and asked, “Now, that you mention it, are you still putting your money on that gamble?”
“…Yes.” Haru nodded with an awkward smile.
Suzune was speechless and pulled Haru’s cheek. “Haven’t I told you to stop it?”
“It hurts! It hurts, Suzune-senpai!” Haru pretended that it was hurt.
Suzune snorted but felt quite amused since she knew that this guy’s skin was as thick as a castle wall so there was no way her pinch was hurt. “Stop it, alright? The gamble isn’t good.” After all, she didn’t like his gambling habit, even though she knew that he had won a lot of money.
“Well, I’ll stop.” Haru nodded and agreed, after all, the money from the gamble was just a little pocket money for him, and it was better not to make Suzune unhappy.
“Good.” Suzune nodded with a smile, but suddenly…
“Say, is it only me, or is your relationship pretty close?” Mari asked with some doubt.
“You mean our relationship?” Suzune asked while looking at Mari.
Everyone nodded at the same time.
“Well, we have been dating after all,” Suzune said calmly.
“………”
“Huh?!” Then everyone was dumbfounded and surprised!
“What?! How?! When?! Why you didn’t tell me?!” Mayumi quickly stood up from her seat and came to the middle of both Suzune and Haru. She quickly held Suzune and looked at her with some disbelief and shocked expression as if she had been betrayed by her friend.
Suzune sighed and said, “You have never asked us, right, Haru?”
“Un.” Haru nodded and said, “You have never asked us, after all.”
“…..” They couldn’t say anything in refute since no one would ever think that both Haru and Suzune would be dating to each other, after all, both Mari and Mayumi knew how stoic Suzune’s personality was and she was also known to be very cold toward the opposite gender, but they would have never expected that she would be dating secretly.
“Who confessed first?” Mari asked while looking at Haru.
“Me.” Haru didn’t hide anything and said, “I chased after Suzune-senpai.”
Suzune shook her head and said, “Well, I’m the one who gave him an opportunity, so he isn’t the only one who takes the initiative.” After all, she was the one who invited him to her house, even though she knew that this guy was a wolf. Her beautiful face couldn’t help but blush when she thought how perverted this guy was, but she had to admit that all the games that he had taught her were very enjoyable and she also had tasted the thing that had been done by an adult after all.
Haru was a wolf, so he had never wasted the meat that was prepared in front of him, and ate it gently.
Looking at Suzune’s somewhat shy expression, everyone was slightly at loss for a moment and they had to admit that Suzune was very cute, somehow, but at the same time, they were wondering how the heck this bastard could get Suzune?!
“Haru?!” The one who was the most annoyed was Mayumi since she had never expected that her best friend would be eaten by Haru.
“Okay, Mayumi, don’t get angry at him. I love him, that’s all, you don’t need to worry since he has been treating me gently,” Suzune said and stopped Mayumi who wanted to beat Haru up.
Mayumi looked at Suzune and somehow felt that she had been betrayed by her friend. In truth, she also had an interest in Haru, but suddenly she heard that Haru and Suzune had been dating each other, which somehow made her feel very complex at this moment.
Mari also felt complex and didn’t expect that her close friend would be dating a junior secretly.
On the other hand, Azusa was stunned and couldn’t reach. She could only sit there and just couldn’t believe what she had heard before her face turned red when she thought that Haru and Suzune had been dating each other. “Eh? Eh? Eh?”
As for Miyuki?
“…” Miyuki stared at Haru expressionlessly, she had been monitoring him, and it was also because of her that he didn’t have a chance to be close with Erika, Mizuki, Suzune, or Honoka alone, but she had never expected that Haru would attack Suzune secretly and the four girls that were mentioned above was just a feint.
Miyuki had tried everything so this guy wouldn’t do anything bad, but it seemed that everything was futile since this guy seemed to be able to eat Suzune. She then thought about the Nine Schools Competition and without a doubt, there would be a lot of girls from various schools.
“….”
Miyuki suddenly felt that Haru was a wolf, and all the girls in the competition would be sheep that were ready to be eaten by Haru. She stared at him and knew that she needed to watch over him, or else…
‘But…’
Miyuki knew that she couldn’t do it alone and she needed help!
“How long have you been dating?’ Mayumi asked calmly, but she was still annoyed.
“Two months,” Haru and Suzune said at the same time.
“…”
‘Two months…’ They didn’t expect that Haru and Suzune had been dating secretly for such a long time yet they were so clueless which made them quite helpless.
“Cough! Cough!” Haru coughed and gathered their attention. “I know that it might be surprising for you to hear that both of us are dating each other, but isn’t there some problem that you have encountered Mayumi-senpai? We might as well discuss this before we talk about our matter.” He didn’t really mind talking about his matter with Suzune, but what mattered the most was about the Nine Schools Competition since he could see that there were some problems that they needed to solve beforehand.
