Chapter 1574 – Shady People Are Better Than Most Protagonists
After the special lesson, there was nothing special, but after school, Haru went to Shizuno's house directly after the car from Urushibara house came to get him.
Haru also didn't think too much since the faster this matter ended, the better it was. He said goodbye to Maya, Jeanne, and Satsuki, who were about to go back, and entered the car with Shizuno.
Looking at Shizuno and Haru that slowly disappeared, Satsuki was mad, but she also couldn't say much since she had heard that Shizuno's older brother was the chairman of the Akane Academy, and he wanted to meet with Haru.
"Jeanne, are you alright with that?"
"You don't need to think too much, Satsuki," Jeanne said, but she had a feeling that she might have a sister soon.
—
Haru and Shizuno were sitting next to each other, and somehow, he could tell that she was pretty nervous.
"What's wrong, Shizuno?"
Shizuno looked at Haru and wasn't sure what to say for a moment.
"I…"
Shizuno felt a hand on her head again, caressing her head gently.
"Don't worry, I will free you from your family."
Hearing Haru's words, Shizuno bit her lower lip and felt that she wanted to cry. She looked at him and asked, "Why… Why have you done so much for me?"
Haru, without hesitation, stared at Shizuno and caressed her cheek gently.
"You should already know the answer, right?"
Shizuno's heart raced very fast. She wasn't stupid and she could tell the reason why he was so gentle toward him, but…
"You… You have Jeanne…"
When Shizuno said those words, she couldn't look straight at Haru since it was very hard for her to lie anymore about her feelings. She knew that he was the boyfriend of her friend, but she was very despicable to have feelings for him and she wanted to be with him.
Haru looked at Shizuno gently and said, "There isn't much time now, and soon, we will arrive at your house so let's continue our conversation after we have talked with your older brother, alright?"
Shizuno was a bit hesitant, but she then agreed. She then felt that her hand was being held gently by him. She blushed and lowered her head, but she didn't pull her hand since it felt nice to hold his hand.
—
Haru and Shizuno arrived at Shizuno's house and as expected, the house was very huge.
Haru looked at the house and nodded since he knew that most rich people loved to live quite far from the city rather than at the center of the city itself, after all, the air was better and the pollution was almost non-existent or non.
When they entered, they were greeted by a lot of maids that bowed their heads when they saw the two of them.
Haru was about to follow Shizuno, but he was stopped by the maid, telling him to change his clothes before he met with Shizuno's older brother. He shook his head and thought that this guy was quite conceited, but then…
Haru looked at the beautiful maid in front of him and nodded gently which caused her to blush, telling him to follow her to the changing room so she would help him to change.
The other maids were jealous, but when Shizuno stared at them, they quickly turned in silence and didn't dare to show their desire to swallow Haru again.
Shizuno let out a sigh and thought that this guy's charm was too dangerous. She then shook her head and went to her room to change her clothes too since she knew very well her older brother's habit.
—
Shizuno, who had changed into a dress, then went directly to the place where Haru changed his clothes, and when she was about to open the door, the door was opened, and she was stunned when she saw him right in front of her.
Haru had changed his school uniform into a red maroon suit and black leather shoes. He became even more handsome and the aura that was given by him right now was similar to the aura of similar to the combination of the richest man, prime minister, and general of the army.
Haru also looked at Shizuno, who was wearing a violet dress, and couldn't help but say, "I have to say that when you wear this dress, I can't look away from you."
Shizuno blushed and said, "Well, you're also very good."
When both of them admired each other, the maid that helped Haru to change his clothes quickly ran away secretly afraid of being noticed by Shizuno.
Shizuno didn't notice the maid since her eyes had been staring at him.
"Should we meet your older brother?" Haru asked gently.
"Um…" Shizuno nodded with a blush, wondering why her words seemed to be a bit different for some reason. It gave her a feeling as if he came to meet her older brother because he wanted permission to take their relationship deeper.
When both of them walked, Haru couldn't help but think about the reason why Shizuno's older brother decided to invite him while showing all the luxuries.
Haru knew that Shizuno's older brother wanted to show him how rich and powerful the Urushibara family was, but in his eyes, this guy was no different from a clown which was why he somehow missed his fake father in the world of Black Bullet.
'I wonder what that guy is doing…'
Haru was wondering whether Sogen Saitake and Saitenshi kept fighting with each other at this moment.
Haru and Shizuno then walked toward the dining room where Shizuno's older brother had been waiting.
The door of the dining room was opened, and they saw a figure of a man in his 20's welcomed them.
The man was about to say something, but he felt an aura from Haru's body that made him lower his head subconsciously. He didn't notice this problem and welcomed him.
"Hello Kasugano-kun, I have always heard your story from my little sister."
Hearing the man's words, Haru didn't think too much since he had a feeling that this guy might become his brother-in-law. Even though Shizuno's older brother gave off a feeling of "seedy" and "having no dignified", he felt such a manipulative person was good to be chosen as a friend rather than an upright person since such a person was very easy to manipulate as long as there was a benefit, unlike an upright person that had always been full of ideals like most Japanese protagonists.
It wasn't that people with full of ideals were bad, but almost all of their ideals were unrealistic and the reason why they could achieve their ideals was because of plot and that plots were full of holes too, but since the author of the books had decided to do so, then no one could fight against them.
"I have also heard about you too from Shizuno, Urushibara Chairman."
Haru took the initiative and held the man's hand, showing that he was in control.
Shizuno, on the other hand, looked at Haru with an inexplicable gaze, wondering when she talked about her older brother, but then, when she saw her older brother's expression that smiled happily, she looked at Haru again, wondering why she had a feeling that her older brother might be tricked and became miserable by this guy, but somehow, there was a smile on her mouth and she quickly returned to her expressionless expression since according to the setting inside this house, she didn't have her own will.
