Chapter 8 - Maid Cafe (1/2)

”What kind of request?” Haruka asked curiously.

”My book will be published in two weeks at that time, I will have to do meet and greet to push my book sales, can you accompany me there? I'm quite scared there will be a strange people who enter the event,” Kasumigaoka said to him. She knew that she was a very beautiful girl and she was sure that there would be annoying fans who would try to hit or flirt with her. She wanted someone who could protect her at that time.

Haruka nodded, ”Sure, I don't mind, I will help you at that time.”

”Thank you,” Kasumigaoka sighed in relief. She knew that he could protect her since he had seen him fight before.

”Can you give me your phone number? It will be quite inconvenient for me not having it later,” Haruka said.

”My, are you trying to flirt with me?” Kasumigaoka asked.

”Well, you can interpret it that way if you want,” Haruka answered.

”Hmph, you're not fun!! You should act like a v.i.r.g.i.n and blush since you have exchanged numbers with beautiful girls!!!” Kasumigaoka complained.

Haruka only rubbed his nose listened to her complain. He also wanted to spit that she called herself a beautiful girl by herself, 'Well, she is really beautiful though.' He didn't really want to have that kind of relationship until he knew that his little sister would be fine without him. He knew that his time would be divided when he had a girlfriend at this time. He knew that this girl was really kind and beautiful, he also knew her for quite a long time. He didn't want to play her feelings since he wasn't ready yet for that kind of relationship.

Kasumigaoka started her monologue for ten minutes and he listened to her while closing his eyes. He wasn't sure how she could talk that much.

”Anyway, here is the CONNECT account, email, and phone number,” Kasumigaoka said.

”Yeah, here it is mine too,” Haruka said.

Kasumigaoka looked quite satisfied when she had received his phone number. Though she was still quite unsatisfied with him to call her family name.

”Kasumigaoka,” Haruka wanted to say that he would go home now.

”Utaha...”

”Hmm?”

”Call me Utaha! And I will call you, Haru,” Kasumigaoka said to him.

Haruka thought this girl was really cute, ”Sure, Utaha-Chan.”

”You don't need to add -Chas suffix!!” Utaha said.

”Okay, okay, you don't need to be that mad, I will call you, Utaha from now on,” Haruka said.

”Sure, you should be thankful to have had such a privilege to call me by my first name,” Utaha said.

”Yeah, I'm sure I'm a lucky guy to have that privilege,” Haruka said.

They were talking for a while and decided to go out together since it had been a while for them to talk to each other. They greeted Machida on their way who gave them strange eyes on him.

”How close are you with Machida?” Utaha asked.

”She helped me at the time, she was something of an akin older sister to me,” Haruka said.

”Hmmm,” Utaha looked at him.
