"….."
Looking at the luxurious and huge gate in front of her, Himeragi didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong, Himeragi? You don't want to enter?" Haru asked.
"Ah, yes! Wait, Senpai!" Himeragi quickly strode and followed after him since somehow she felt a bit nervous here.
Walking together, Himeragi couldn't help but look around the scenery of Haru's house. She had to admit that even though it was huge and big, it gave off a very comfortable feeling, and at the same time…
"Huh? I can't use my magic?!" Himeragi was dumbfounded and wondered whether she was trapped, but her shoulder was patted by Haru, and she could feel the energy inside her again.
"…."
Himeragi looked at Haru with a dumbfounded expression.
Haru smiled and said, "This is my house. Isn't it obvious that I want some sense of security?"
"But why can't I use my magic before you tapped my shoulder?" Himeragi asked curiously.
"It's a seal," Haru said.
"Seal?" Himeragi raised her eyebrow and asked, "But you're a vampire, right? How can you use magic?"
"As I've said before, I'm a human," Haru said.
Himeragi wanted to say something, but Haru quickly interrupted her. "I'm a magician."
"Magician?" Himeragi raised her eyebrow.
"Well, let's talk inside. It isn't comfortable to talk here," Haru said and entered his house.
"Wait a moment, Senpai! Explain to me what you mean by that!" Himeragi strode after Haru, and in truth, she didn't want to part from him. After all, even though this house was comfortable, it was her first time here, and she was afraid to get lost.
"Haru!"
Himeragi then saw a beautiful girl with long blonde hair hugging Haru as they entered. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrow, looking at this beautiful girl, wondering what kind of relationship that she had with Haru.
"Who is this, Haru?" Avrora, who was hugging Haru, looked at Himeragi curiously.
"She's my observer," Haru said.
"Observer? She?" Avrora was dumbfounded since Himeragi didn't seem to be like an observer at all.
"Senpai, she's…?" Himeragi tucked Haru's shirt and looked at Avrora curiously.
"Her name is Avrora. She's the daughter of my relative's acquaintance, right?" Haru then looked at Avrora, who gave him a nod and told him that she was going out to play. He then patted her head and said, "Be careful. I can't go out with you since I have to accompany her."
"You don't need to worry!" Avrora patted her flat chest, showing a reassuring expression.
"How about your glasses?" Haru asked.
"Here!" Avrora showed the disguised glasses that she kept in her pocket. These glasses were made by Haru, and of course, they gave a disguise effect, but it didn't cause her to become ugly, only changed her appearance slightly. Her identity was very troublesome, but with these glasses, she didn't need to worry about anything.
"Well, you have to play with Semiramis first. I need to talk to her," Haru said.
"Alright." Avrora nodded.
"Hey, I'm not a baby sister!" Semiramis refuted with some displeasure.
When Himeragi saw Semiramis for the first time, she was dumbfounded since she had never seen someone as beautiful as her, especially the ears part. Semiramis's ears somehow reminded her of her teacher.
Semiramis then looked at Himeragi and asked, "Is that your observer? Who sent her?"
"The Lion King Organization," Haru said.
"Oh! That galge-like organization, huh?" Semiramis nodded and said, "You know, she doesn't like your observer at all, or rather, don't you think that organization sends her to become your lover or something?"
"Wh –?!" Himeragi was dumbfounded, and her face quickly reddened.
Haru raised his eyebrow and only realized that might be the Lion King Organization's intention from the beginning, which somehow made him a bit dumbfounded. He rubbed his temple and said, "Don't joke around. I'll talk with her for a bit. Do you want to follow?"
"No, I want to enjoy a hot spring first. Come and join me when you're done." Semiramis then strode and said, "Avrora, let's join me. We can eat some ice cream while we're there."
"Oh!" Avrora nodded and said, "Bye, Haru." She then followed Semiramis while talking together.
Looking at both Avrora and Semiramis, Himeragi was really wondering who they were at that moment.
"Let's go," Haru said.
"Yes!" Himeragi nodded, then followed Haru.
They talked to each other along the way until they arrived at the living room, which was located next to the terrace.
"Sit down first," Haru said and sat on the tatami floor.
"Ah, yes!" Himeragi nodded and sat while facing him. It might be because of her habit of sitting in the "seiza" position, so she sat in that position naturally.
Haru didn't think too much and asked, "So what do you want to ask?"
"Senpai, you've said that you're a magician before, right?" Himeragi asked.
"That's right." Haru nodded.
"So how can you get the power of the fourth primogenitor? Did you eat it?" Himeragi asked.
"I don't eat people." Haru was speechless and said, "Rather than eat, I absorbed it."
"Absorb?" Himeragi was dumbfounded.
"Yes, I absorbed the power of the fourth primogenitor," Haru said since he didn't have any reason to hide his ability since even if they knew it was impossible for them to defend against him. However, he used the word "absorb" rather than "steal" since it sounded better, and he didn't seem like a bad guy this way.
"…." Himeragi was dumbfounded.
"Surprising, right? I have absorbed the power of the fourth primogenitor," Haru said simply.
"How? More importantly, why? Do you want to use that power to dominate the world or something?" Himeragi quickly asked.
"If I want to dominate the world, then I've already done it. You should know with my power. It isn't that difficult for me to dominate the world," Haru said.
"…"
Himeragi frowned.
"You don't believe that I'm that strong?" Haru asked.
"Well…" Himeragi nodded.
"How about we spar? Let's have a match between you and me." Haru looked at Himeragi's guitar case and said, "Beside observing me, I'm sure that the Lion King Organization has told you to eliminate me if I'm dangerous, right?"
"Huh? How did you know?!" Himeragi quickly grabbed her guitar case and took out her weapon directly!
Himeragi started to sweat, and she didn't expect Haru to be so smart to guess her intention!
"…"
Haru really thought that this girl was really stupid. He then observed Himeragi's spear for a moment and thought that that spear's ability was quite interesting. 'Magic negation, huh?' He then looked at Himeragi and asked, "So am I right?"
"….." Himeragi was at a loss at this question and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Well, I'm just trying to guess what your intention is, but from your expression, is it the truth, huh?" Haru said.
Himeragi's face turned red, and she quickly asked, "So are you saying that you've fooled me all along?"
"Um." Haru nodded.
"…." Himeragi.
Himeragi took a deep breath and said, "Then Senpai, let's have a spar, you and me! Then if I win, I want you to tell me what your purpose is! And, show me your real face!" From the beginning to the end, she hadn't been able to see his real face, which somehow made her a bit frustrated since she was very curious.
Hearing that question, Haru could tell Himeragi his intention directly, but since this girl had made such a bet, he didn't mind playing along. He looked at her and asked, "If you win, I'll tell you my purpose on this island, and I'll show you my face, but what if you lose?"
"Huh?" Himeragi was dumbfounded.
"It isn't fair for me if you don't give me something, right?" Haru asked.
Himeragi nodded, but then her face turned red since she remembered Semiramis's words. She then made up her mind and said nervously, "Th – Then I'll be your lover!"
"…"
"I – I can see that you have a harem here! If you win, then I'll join too!" Himeragi said without hesitation since everything was for her mission! It wasn't that she had an interest in him or anything, alright?
"…."
Haru looked at this girl for a moment and wondered whether this girl was alright or not?
