Haru woke up in the early morning, working out for an hour or so at the gym inside his house, before going back to the room where he was living to take a bath.
There were a lot of rooms in his house and even if all of his girlfriends were living in this place, it was alright.
It was a quiet morning and he brewed a Blue Mountain coffee.
Blue Mountain coffee is noted for its mild flavour and lack of bitterness. Over the past few decades, this coffee has developed a reputation that has made it one of the most expensive and sought-after coffees in the world. Over 80% of all Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is exported to Japan.
It was also the reason why it was quite easy for him to get this coffee, however, he was wondering whether he could get some shares of this percentage of Blue Mountain coffee.
‘20% is enough…’
If he could get 20% of Blue Mountain coffee then that would be good.
‘Should I go to Jamaica?’
Haru really felt that he needed to tell this matter to Ritsu and Seri later since he wanted to enter a coffee industry and the best way to do it was to buy the best chain of coffeehouses and roastery reserves.
‘Startbucks, huh?’
Haru wanted to get this company, the sooner the better, it was.
While he was in deep thought, the door where Sawamura Eriri was staying was opened.
Eriri came out from her room while yawning, but then her cute little nose moved slightly when she smelled the aroma of coffee. Her eyes then quickly stared at Haru who was drinking coffee while sitting on the lazy chair near the veranda.
“You’ve woken up, Sawamura?” Haru looked at Sawamura Eriri. He could see that this girl was very sleepy and couldn’t have a good sleep, but he knew that it was these girl’s fault and tried to peek at his night activity last night.
“Umm….” Sawamura Eriri nodded with a blush.
“Do you want a coffee?” Haru asked.
“…Sure.” Sawamura Eriri nodded.
“Come here,” Haru said.
Sawamura Eriri walked toward Haru and saw him preparing a coffee for her. She wasn’t sure, but she sat next to the lazy chair to him.
“Here.”
“Thank you.”
Sawamura Eriri nodded and took a cup of coffee from Haru.
It was raining last night so it was a bit chilly in the morning, but the cup of coffee in her hands warmed her up. Truthfully, she couldn’t drink coffee since it was bitter, but she forgot to ask him to mix sugar since the smell of the coffee was too good.
*Slurp!*
Sawamura Eriri sipped the coffee slowly, but then she was surprised by the lack of bitterness and mild flavors of the coffee. There was also a hint of citrus and cocoa on the coffee which made her sipped her coffee faster. She sighed in satisfaction, but then she couldn’t help but ask, “This… what kind of coffee is this?”
“It’s Blue Mountain coffee,” Haru answered absentmindedly while reading a newspaper in his hands.
“Blue Mountain? Isn’t this expensive?” Sawamura Eriri asked with a surprised expression.
“With your family, it’ll be easy for you to get one, but I can give it to you some,” Haru said.
Sawamura looked at him suspiciously and asked, “You really don’t have an interest in me, right?”
“…”
Haru twitched his lips and asked, “You’re too narcissistic. I have to admit that you’re cute and that blonde hair is also a plus point, but then again, I’m not that casual and I don’t flirt with anyone as long as they’re a girl.”
Sawamura blushed, but then looked away since this guy praised her as cute. However, she was wondering what made Sora, Megumi, and Utaha attractive in the eyes of the richest guy in the world and wondered what she lacked.
High school was a place where someone should fall in love.
In Japan, the parents also supported their children to fall in love during high school. It wasn’t that someone couldn’t fall in love in the future, but in high school, everyone was pure and their intention to date each other was based on love.
Unlike when someone became an a.d.u.l.t, the relationship between two people needed to be based on a material matter.
Everyone was an a.d.u.l.t after all and they needed to think about their future from children, work, house, etc.
It was also the reason why after he had graduated from high school, he might as well stop his journey as a Don Juan.
Well, another reason why someone in this country should fall in love during high school was that when they entered society, the only way for them to get a partner life was through a blind date, working place, or friend.
“You have been staring at me for a while, what’s wrong?” Haru turned his head and looked at Sawamura Eriri.
“Wh – Who is staring at you! Don’t be narcissistic!” Sawamura Eriri said angrily, showing her canine teeth. It was as if she tried to scare him that she would eat him if he continued to tease her.
However, Eriri had to admit that this guy was very handsome and there was this aura that made her couldn’t help but relax when she was with him. She felt that she was being protected and at the same time, she felt that s
Haru laughed and said, “Can I call you, Eriri?”
“….Umm…” Eriri nodded and said, “I will call you Haru from now on.”
“Good.”
Eriri nodded and felt a bit shy, but then she continued to drink her coffee, however, she heard a question which caused her to spit out all the coffee in her mouth.
“I heard from Sora that you’ve been left out by your childhood friend, is that true?”
Coffee dripped from her mouth, Eriri stared at Haru in shock before it turned into a shame!
“Here’s a tissue.”
Eriri quickly grabbed the tissue from Haru then wiped her mouth. She blushed and asked, “Wh – What does that matter to you?!”
“It doesn’t really matter.”
“Then?”
“But your childhood friend is very brave to leave you,” Haru said.
“Huh? What do you mean by that?” Eriri looked at Haru with a confused expression.
Haru looked at Eriri and said, “I mean… as I have said before, you’re cute, and even if the bond between childhood friends is very strong if someone suddenly appears before you and makes you fall in love then your childhood friend is going to regret that he won’t be the closest person in your life anymore. Being forgotten, then becoming a stranger in the future.”
“….”
“But depending on the situation, you might be the one who is unlucky when your childhood friend has found a new love in his life, in case you fell for your childhood friend,” Haru said.
Haru was talking nonsense, but then he heard a sob from his side.
“Huh? You’re crying?”
Eriri was crying when she thought such a thing. She looked at him with red eyes and disheveled eyes.
“H – Haru, do you think that I’ll be forgotten by him?”
Haru sighed and thought the bond of a childhood friend was the strongest after all. He patted Eriri’s head and said, “Of course not. You’re very cute after all. I doubt that your childhood friend will have feelings for you.”
“R – Really?” Eriri asked with a hopeful expression.
“Do you like him that much?” Haru asked with a smile.
“Wh – Who likes that kind of guy?!” Eriri quickly snorted and looked away.
“Yes, yes.”
Haru rolled his eyes and sighed, wondering why there were so many tsundere characters around him.
“What’s with that answer? You don’t believe me?”
“I believe in you. Don’t worry.”
Eriri didn’t believe him and kept telling him that she didn’t have feelings for her childhood friend, but then she didn’t realize that her feelings for her childhood friend were…
