It didn't take long for him to arrive at Erina's mansion and he entered directly since everyone knew about him and he also had informed Erina beforehand. He knew that she was taking a bath and at the same time, he sighed in regret.
The only downward of a large mansion was that it was impossible for him to enact a lucky pervert situation, especially the most cliche one when the harem protagonist entered the bathroom when the heroine was taking a bath.
If Erina's house was small then it was possible, but Erina's house was a mansion which made it impossible for him to enter her bathroom by accident.
It was also the reason even if he bought an entire building, he only used some part of the building to be his living space so that the distance between him and his lovers wasn't that far even if they were living in a huge building.
"H, Haru-sama!"
Haru noticed Hisako who was walking in the corridor of Erina's house.
"Oh, Hisako. You're not on holiday?"
"No, I'm Erina-sama's secretary after all and I need to be by her side all the time," Hisako answered and blinked her eyes. She had always wanted to meet him since she was grateful for what he had done to protect her, Erina, and Alice.
"Um... Haru-sama...."
"What's wrong?"
"Thank you very much!"
"Hmm?"
"You've saved us at that time and I'm very grateful for you."
Hisako was worried about his condition at first, but when she saw him again.
Hisako had known that Haru was alright from Erina, but she wanted to confirm it since he had saved her after all, and it seemed that he was really alright since she could see him standing up straight and seemed very healthy.
Waving his hand, Haru said, "You don't need to mention it. Erina is my fiancee after all and you're also her best friend so it is normal for me to save you."
"...."
Hearing those words from Haru's mouth, Hisako sighed inwardly and for the first time, she felt envious of Erina for having such a fiance. Little did she know that he had taught Erina a lot of perverted things and this guy wasn't as good as he seemed.
"So where are you going now?" Haru asked.
"I'm going to tell the clients about Erina-sama's condition," Hisako said with a sigh since she knew that it was a very troublesome job. She wasn't sure why Erina suddenly told her that she didn't want to go to visit a client that had made an appointment with her beforehand, but since Erina had said so, her job was to tell the client that the appointment needed to be put on hold for a while.
"..."
Haru felt a bit guilty, but well, it was better that he didn't say anything. He patted Hisako's head and said, "Thank you for always taking care of Erina. I'm always grateful for you and if you feel tired, you can ask for a break since if you work too hard, you might get sick."
Hisako lowered her head to hide her blush. "Y, yes.."
"Then bye, Hisako."
Hisako touched her head that had been patted by Haru. She had to admit that it felt good, but at the same time, she realized that the reason why Erina decided to put hold her job was because of him.

*Knock!* *Knock!*
"Erina, I'm outside of your room." Haru knocked on Erina's room and waited for her to tell him to go inside.
"Come in."
Haru opened the door, but suddenly someone jumped into him.
"Haru!"
Haru hurriedly closed the door since he didn't want to show her docile expression to everyone.
"Where have you been?!" Erina complained while hugging him.
"I'm sorry. There was some business yesterday."
Haru didn't lie since there was really a business which he needed to do yesterday.
"I see... so we're going on a date?" Erina asked with a happy smile.
"....Yes, but it seems that you're not ready," Haru said. He saw her wearing sports attire since it seemed that she was about to work out. He knew that this girl always maintained her figure since it was necessary for a chef to have a healthy body and being a chef was a tough job. Though, he had to admit that she was very sexy in this attire.
"Do we have to go out?" Erina stared at him. She wanted to spend her day with him in her room after all and watched a lot of movies. She also wanted to taste that white liquid again, but it was hard to ask him about it and her pride wouldn't allow her to ask something like that. She waited for him to ask her to do the thing which they had done on the training camp before.
"Well, I've promised Alice to go out after all," Haru said.
"Alice!" Erina was startled and asked, "Why Alice? What kind of promise?"
"Did you remember that I have made a Kiviak in the past?"
"Kiviak...."
Of course, Erina remembered since it was the day when she bought Haru's manga magazine for the first time and it was also at that time when her grandfather had told her to work at Haru's cafe.
However, what made her feel conflicted was his promise with Alice.
Erina wasn't sure, but she could see that Alice was aiming for Haru and she had always been careful since it would be awkward for two sisters to have the same man and she wouldn't allow it.
It was different for another girl, but if it was Alice....
Though, at the same time, Erina felt a bit disappointed since she couldn't stay at home.
However, when Erina felt slightly sad, she heard his whisper.
"When we return, do you want that?"
Erina blushed and hit his chest. "W, who wants that kind of thing!"
"Oh, I mean about the new series of mangas. I'll let you read it after we have returned." Haru smiled and said, "Erina, you can't think of something perverted everyday."
Being teased, Erina was annoyed and asked, "So you don't want it?"
"Of course, I want it. Erina's tongue is very good," Haru said.
Erina blushed once again. If someone from the cooking industry knew what this guy had done to her tongue then they would put him on sanction. Though, to be honest, she didn't hate it and wanted to do something more since it seemed it was very good based on Utaha's story.
"I'll prepare now."
Erina wanted to change her clothes, but she stopped when she saw him didn't move.
"What's wrong?"
"....."
"D, don't peek at me, alright?"
"It's alright. I won't peek at you."
"...That's good.."
Erina nodded, but felt a bit complicated at the moment since she wanted him to peek.
"I'll watch you directly."
"....."
Sometimes Erina really wanted to slap her fiance's head.

Alice and Kurokiba were waiting for Haru at the location where they had buried the kiviak.
At that moment, the members of Polar Star Dormitory also gathered together when they heard that Alice was going to open the place where she buried the kiviak, not exactly her, but she was too lazy to explain after all.
The most exciting one would be Sakaki since her home was famous for their fermented goods shop. She didn't expect that there would be someone who had created a kiviak.
Souma, who wanted to return to his home, decided to stay since he was also curious about this kiviak.
"So what's kiviak?"
Sakaki explained what was kiviak which somehow made Souma's eyes brighten since it seemed to be a very interesting dish.
"So what are we waiting for?" Souma asked.
"We're waiting for the owner of the kiviak, right? Nakiri-san?" Isshiki said.
"Yes, he should be coming soon," Alice said.
"He?"
Everyone became curious who was the owner of this kiviak when they heard a noise of car which was moving towards their direction.
"Haru!!!"
Alice smiled and waved her hand excitedly.
"Haru?"
Souma suddenly had an idea who was the owner of this kiviak.
Tadokoro blushed since she remembered what had happened at the training camp.
The car stopped and two figures came out of the car.
"Huh? Erina, why are you here?!" Alice was startled.
Erina had an arrogant expression. She folded her arms and asked, "I should be the one who asks you that question. You've invited my fiance without my consent, what are you thinking?"
"Well, don't worry, don't worry, we better open the kiviak right away!" Alice knew that she was somewhat guilty, but she quickly became cheerful again and changed the topic of conversation.
"Hmph!"
However, when that news was heard by everyone in the Polar Star Dorm, they were startled.
"Fiance?!"
It was big news since it was their first time to know that Erina, who was known as the queen of culinary world, had a fiance!
Everyone looked at Haru curiously, but then Sakaki, Yoshino, and Marui were in shock when they saw him.
"Kasugano Haruka!"
The rest of members had to admit that Haru was handsome, but they didn't know who this guy was and which big family this guy came from.
"Do you know him?"
Daigo and Sato were clueless.
"Y, you don't know him?! Where have you been?!" Yoshino looked at the two guys with contempt.
"Who?"
However then they saw Haru make a gesture for the one who knew about his identity to be quiet since he didn't want to cause too much commotion after all.
"How about we open the kiviak first?" Haru said and put a gas mask on his face.
Erina also did the same.
"Haru, Erina, don't you have an extra gas mask?" Alice panicked when she saw both Haru and Erina wearing gas masks.
"Well, I don't have an extra one, but I've brought this odor absorber." Haru showed them a device that was able to suck an odor.
"...."
Alice sighed in relief but she didn't give up. "Haru, you're a man! You wouldn't let a beautiful girl like me be tortured, right?" She looked at him with a puppy-like expression.
"Haru, ignore her," Erina said.
"Erina, you meanie!"
Haru ignored two sisters who started to fight with each other. He took off his gas mask and put it on Alice's face since it was troublesome.
Alice was startled, but then she smiled happily.
Erina snorted, but didn't say anything.
"Haru, when did you make the kiviak?" Souma wasn't really surprised by Haru's engament since he knew about it from the start, but he was more curious about the kiviak.
"It should be around winter, right? Tadokoro?" Haru asked.
"Y, yes!" Tadokoro was surprised when her name was being called.
"Well, let's open it. Let me open it, Kurokiba."
"Yes."
Kurokiba handed the shovel to Haru and had more respect for Haru since he knew that Haru had fought against a bear and won. He even saw the bear that was killed by Haru using his barefist which amazed him. Though, he also prepared himself since he knew the smell of kiviak was so deadly.
Haru took a deep breath and held his breath. "Ready, everyone?"
"Huh?"
Some people didn't know what Haru meant by those words, but when he started to open up the place where he buried the kiviak....
"....."
No one could utter a word, their eyes were teary, and they wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible.
"It stinks!!!"
