Yuri, Iwasawa, and Shiina were waiting for Haru in the Fleurs De Lapin. They stayed together while talking to each other before they saw a car right in front of the cafe. They knew that it was him instantly since they received a chat from Haru. They had to admit that "LINE" which was developed by Haru was a very good thing and it made it very easy for them to communicate with each other.
When they were about to enter his car, Iwasawa looked at Yuri and asked, "You're going to sit in the front seat?"
"Is that alright?"
"It's alright, I"ll sit on the back." Iwasawa entered the car together with Shiina.
Yuri also entered his car and sat on the passenger seat beside him. "Sorry for the trouble, Haru."
"No problem, I'm also curious about this concert, but why do you show such interest so suddenly?" Haru asked this question to Iwasawa.
Iwasawa moved her head forward between Haru and Yuri. "I've seen a video from "Nico Nico" and it seems that there is a very good band at that venue."
"I thought you were going to recruit them?" Haru asked.
Iwasawa shook her head and said, "No, I don't think that their style is suitable for me, but I might find something interesting."
"Well, if yous say so..."
"Where is Utaha?" Yuri suddenly asked since she remembered Utaha also wanted to go with them before.
"She is a bit tired and decided to rest early." Haru couldn't tell the truth that he had fun with Utaha just earlier.
"Is that so?" Yuri smiled and thought that Utaha had given her a chance somehow.
"Right, this place might be dangerous so don't separate from each other, alright?"
"Yes!" 2x
"Shiina, I hope that you can help me to protect everyone."
Shiina nodded and said, "NP (no problem)." It seems that she had learned an english language which made her able to create a lot of abbreviation words which made her only talk in one or two words.
Along the way, Haru asked them about their school since he was a bit worried about Shiina and Iwasawa, but it seemed that he didn't really need to worry too much since three of them were in the same class. The same as Sora and Megumi who were in the same class, the three of them were also in the same class.
"There's someone amazing in our class."
"Oh? Who?"
"It's the daughter of the Shinomiya family."
"Shinomiya family?"
Of course, Haru knew Shinomiya's family very well, but he didn't think too much since that family had a lot of members and even thought their assets were around 2 trillion yen, but he believed that he would be able to do more.
"Well, but she's quite cold and seems to be quite distant with everyone." Iwasawa rubbed her chin.
"So you're good with your classmates?" Haru asked.
"It's normal, not so close, but not so distant." Iwasawa felt that her classmates were pretty good, though, she had to admit if she didn't meet Haru, then she might not be able to know her classmate in her life since their identity was too far apart. After all, she was coming from a broken family with a drunk father who often committed domestic violence.
She was very happy with her life at that moment, but she was a bit worried about something.
"What's wrong?" Haru didn't miss the change of expression on Iwasawa.
"Haru, what do you think is happening to my mother now?" Iwasawa asked.
"Hmm.... if you can run away, then it is possible for your mother to also run away too." Haru rubbed his chin while driving his car. "Is your mother as beautiful as you?"
"....."
This question startled them and made them speechless, even Shiina stared at Haru with an expressionless expression.
Iwasawa was blushing, but felt that this question was a bit strange. "What do you mean?"
"If your mother is beautiful then there is a chance that she might have run away from your father and get a new lover."
After all, in this hard world, the only way for a weak woman to stay alive was to depend on a man.
"..."
They thought that this possibility was possible considering how horrible Iwasawa's father was.
"Do you want to meet them?" Haru asked.
"....."
Iwasawa's body was shaken for a bit, but then her hand was held by Shiina. She looked at Shiina and nodded with a smile. "I need time."
"Well, we're going out to have fun, don't think too much about that matter. When you're ready, I can take you and I'll make sure that nothing is going to happen to you." Haru stopped his car for a while and looked at Iwasawa to reassure her. "However, if you want to meet your father then I can set up a meeting between the two of you."
Iwasawa stared at Haru and smiled. "Thank you, Haru."
"No problem."
Haru continued and didn't notice that Iwasawa was staring at him.
In her Iwasawa's mind, he was like her bright sun, when she was cold he was there to warm her up, but.....
Iwasawa shook her head and decided to focus on watching the performance of the underground concert.
---
It took them half an hour to arrive at the location, and there were a lot of people lining up. There was a group of male and female who seemed to be talking to each other excitedly about the concert.
Haru was wearing a cap and it was hard to see his appearance in this dim environment. He wore comfortable clothes since it would be a crowded place.
Shiina, Yuri, and Iwasawa also wore something quite similar clothes since wearing something complicated might be too cumbersome in this place.
Shiina's eyes glanced around to see whether there was someone suspicious.
"Well, let's go."
"Is it alright for you to go to this kind of place?" Iwasawa suddenly felt a bit worried since Haru's identity was too special.
"It's alright. No one is going to think that I'm going to go to this kind of place after all."
"Well, that's true..."
Haru had brought his GT-Robot bodyguard, but they were on standby at a distance protecting them in secret.
The four of them were lining up together before it was their time to enter the venue. The venue was so dark, and there were only some lights in some areas, but the light in this venue was very minimal, however, that what made this place interesting.
They could see that everyone was dancing together hearing the loud music which was played by the band who sang on the stage.
"Do you know that band?" Haru asked Iwasawa.
Iwasawa shook her head and said, "No, the first band is usually the least popular."
"Hmm..." It was Haru's first time in this place, his night life might have been vibrant, but he had never come to this underground concert after all. He noticed an empty spot which made them able to see the stage clearly and told them to go there. There wasn't any sitting place in this place after all and they could only stand up.
"What's wrong, Yuri?" Haru asked.
"I, I want to go to the toilet." Yuri felt a bit embarrassed.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Haru asked.
Yuri shook her head and said, "No, I'm going fast! Wait for me here!" She quickly ran towards the direction of the toilet.
Haru shook his head and his hoodie was pulled by Iwasawa.
"Haru! Haru! The next band is The Hedgehogs!" Iwasawa seemed to be very excited.
"The Hedgehogs?" Haru didn't know what kind of band it was, but he saw a group band stand up on the stage and received loud cheers from everyone.
There were five members of the band, the vocalist was female who wore a black hoodie jacket.
She was standing there holding her microphone, but that presence alone was so breathtaking. She raised her hand and clenched it tightly before the melody of the guitar started to be played.
Haru couldn't help but feel that it was worth it to come to this place.
