Chapter 1146 - Fallen (1/2)
Haru was the owner of the shrine, but this girl was the one who prepared the tea for him not the other way around.
”Here's a tea.”
Nozomi put a glass of tea on the table.
”Thank you.”
The one who had stopped him before was Nozomi and he knew that she had something to talk to him about what had happened yesterday. He was also wondering why this girl didn't say anything about the thing which she had seen yesterday.
”Do you know the reason why I stopped you?” Nozomi asked.
”Was it yesterday?” Haru asked.
Nozomi nodded and asked, ”Can I ask who is that girl?” The one she meant was the one where he had held hands together on groceries before.
”I'm not going to hide it from you.... She's my girlfriend,” Haru said.
”.....”
Nozomi raised her eyebrow. She had a feeling, but when she confirmed it from his mouth, it made her uncomfortable.
”You've got a girlfriend and yet you also get close to Eli and Maki? You want to cheat on your girlfriends?” Nozomi asked.
”She knows about it,” Haru said.
”Huh?”
”She knows how close I am to several girls,” Haru said.
”...”
”Is she alright with it?” Nozomi asked.
”Of course not,” Haru said. He knew that all of his girlfriends wanted to own him by themselves, but they had decided to compromise with him since they knew that they couldn't handle him alone and because they loved him.
It was also the reason why he realized how lucky he was and why he needed to make all of them happy.
”Even so, you've decided to get close to Eli and Maki?” Nozomi asked.
”I know...” Haru smiled in a depreciated way and said, ”I shouldn't be gentle to them nor should I show an interest in them.” He wasn't a dense protagonist, and he knew that both Eli and Maki liked him, but he was hesitating since he had a lot of girlfriends.
Nozomi nodded and asked, ”Do you like them?”
”I like them,” Haru said without hesitation, but he wouldn't force them to become his girlfriends. He might be able to force them using various means within his head, but he felt that he would change once he did that and he didn't want to change for now. He was a harem protagonist and he wasn't a billionaire who would force a girl to become his.
”If they're alright with your relationship with other girls then will you make them your girlfriends?” Nozomi asked.
Haru was confused by this question, but nodded. ”Yes.”
”Then me too...?”
”Huh?”
Haru was startled, but his lips were kissed at that moment. He had a feeling, but he was quite hesitant since he wanted to limit the number of girls beside him. Though, he knew that it was quite hard.
Nozomi parted her lips and traced her lips with her fingers. ”It's better than I thought.”
”What are you doing?” Haru asked.
Nozomi smiled and asked, ”Do you think I'll get depressed or try to stop you from dating either Maki or Eli?”
Haru was surprised and asked, ”You're not?”
”Of course not!” Nozomi patted her chest and said, ”I've told you before, right? Do you remember my fortune telling in the past?”
Haru suddenly remembered when Nozomi did a fortune telling on himself and when she told him that he would have a harem. He didn't think too much, but he suddenly felt that her fortune telling ability was real. He looked at her and asked, ”So...?”
