Chapter 1879 - Spirited Away? (1/2)
”Let's go inside,” Mimori said with a smile.
When Mimori led him to her house, Haru had to admit that her house was quite huge, and from the size of her house alone, he could tell that she was rich, considering how expensive the land in Japan was. He looked at her and asked, ”Is it alright?”
”What do you mean?” Mimori stopped and asked.
”I mean, you have two kids, right? Is it alright for me to enter? They might have misunderstood you by bringing me here,” Haru said.
Mimori laughed and said, ”What? Do you have an interest in an old lady like me?” She looked at him with a smile, but then when she saw his expression, she was a bit dumbfounded. ”Really?” Staring at his serious and somewhat embarrassing expression, she would have never expected that an old lady like her could attract a young man.
Haru then smiled and Mimori and said, ”Kidding.”
”...” Mimori.
”Still, you're not an old lady Akatsuki-san. You're still a very charming woman,” Haru said seriously.
”Fufufu... even if it's only a polite remark, I'm happy with your praise, though,” Mimori said with a smile. ”Oh, don't call me Akatasuki-san, just call me Mimori, alright?”
”It's not a polite remark. It's my real feeling. You're adorable, Mimori-chan,” Haru said without hesitation.
”....” Mimori.
Mimori looked at Haru for a while, and somehow she wasn't sure how to react since her face was red at that moment. ”I'm happy with your praise, but you should get someone that matches your age. How about my daughter?”
”What if I still want you?” Haru asked.
”Are you joking now?” Mimori asked.
”No,” Haru said.
”Hmm... it seems that my charm can still attract a younger guy, huh?” Mimori was still a bit dumbfounded, but she was secretly happy. ”Anyway, you don't need to worry, I live in a different place from my kids and call me Mimori-san, or just call me Mimori, even if I don't mind you calling me Mimori-chan, it feels weird to be called like that by a high school boy.”
”You can tell that I'm in high school?” Haru raised his eyebrow.
”Um.” Mimori nodded and said, ”When I have touched your body before, I can tell mostly what is happening on your body, and I also can tell that you're alright.”
”I see. That's your ability, huh?” Haru nodded and felt Mimori use her power when she touched him, but his power was so deep that he was sure that she could only see the outer part of himself.
Mimori was surprised and asked, ”You know that I have used my power on you?”
”Um.” Haru nodded easily.
”Are you okay with that?” Mimori asked with doubt.
”Well, there's a lot of things that I don't know here, so I don't see any harm in coming with you,” Haru said.
”You don't know anything, huh?” Mimori looked at Haru for a while and said, ”I'm becoming more and more interested in you. After all, I have never seen such a powerful human.”
”You're not thinking that I'm a demon?” Haru asked.
”No, I can easily tell whether you're human or demon after all,” Mimori said with a smile. ”If I don't know you, I might think that you're Cain.”
