Kiriko was quite nervous at that moment. She knew that Haru was a scumbag, but she couldn't stop her feet and walked to the train station to go to his home. In her mind, she thought that she would be able to change Haru and make him into her lover.
But if Haru knew that he would say that this girl might be a bit too naive since in his mind, he should be able to make her into his girlfriend too and create a harem in this world.
Kiriko checked her appearance through a reflection on the train's glass and nodded. She was wondering whether she was beautiful enough. Even though she had spent an hour on make up, she felt that it wasn't enough.
When it was almost time for her to step down from the train at the next station, she felt even more nervous since she knew that Haru was waiting for her at the entrance of the station, but then she decided to encourage herself that everything would be alright.
Kiriko walked out from the station then looked around wondering where he was. Then in a moment, she saw him sitting under the shade of the tree, sitting lazily on the bench while eating an onigiri (riceball) in his hand. She wasn't sure why, but there was a sweet smile on her face.
Kiriko could notice a lot of girls and women who kept glancing at Haru and seemed to want to get closer at him. She panicked and decided to move quickly.
"Haru!"
When Kiriko called out his name, Haru turned and smiled at her, waving his hand. She wasn't sure, but she felt very happy at that moment. She walked toward him and said, "Sorry to make you wait."
"No, I don't wait too long and this place is quite nearby to my house," Haru said.
Kiriko then looked at him wondering whether he would praise her clothes or appearance, but then she saw him sigh which made her nervous.
"W, what's wrong?"
"You're so beautiful today. I'm afraid there are a lot of guys who are going to stare at me with an envious gaze along the way," Haru said.
Kiriko snorted and hummed. She folded her arms and said, "You and your mouth! I believe that you often say that to every girl that you've met, right?" Even though she seemed dissatisfied, she couldn't hide the smile in her mouth. She was happy that she was being praised as beautiful.
"Of course not." Haru knew that he needed to change the topic of the conversation. "It's noon. Don't you feel hungry? How about we have lunch first?"
"Lunch?"
Kiriko realized that she was quite hungry since she spent most of her time in front of the mirror. She looked at him and asked, "Why not?"
"What do you want to eat?" Haru stood up while thinking about what he should eat today.
"Is there a good place to eat around this area?" Kiriko asked.
"Do you want to eat ramen?" Haru asked.
"Ramen?" Kiriko frowned since the ramen shop was quite hard for a girl to enter.
"You're a girl and it is usually quite hard for you to enter a ramen shop, but with me around, you can enter the shop without worry."
Then Haru told Kiriko what was so delicious about ramen which made her stomach growl.
Kiriko blushed and felt very shy at that moment. "W - Well, let's eat ramen."
Haru nodded and guided her to the ramen shop. Though, he didn't know what kind of trouble was going to await him when he came out from the ramen shop.

At this moment in the headquarters of Beauty Salon PRINCE, there was a sudden alarm which made everyone panic since the Penguin came to attack the city again. It had only been a few days after Six had lost, but they didn't expect that the Penguins would start to attack them again which made them speechless.
However, they didn't expect to see what the Penguins were doing on the street.
Moriko stood up from her seat and exclaimed. "Th - This is bad! They're distributing fliers!"
"So many fliers! They're fluttering like a labia!" Sewashiko exclaimed.
"The town's scenery will be sullied with their acts of publicity!" Soriko said.
"That's not all!"
Kazuo couldn't stay calm and knew the danger of this problem. "Look at the sheer amount of fliers! At this rate, there'll be....
Penguin Bomb!"
Everyone imagined that the Penguins would become popular and make a lot of people become their fans.
"Damn! We can't let this happen!" Kazuo held his head and shouted, "Where's Kasugano Haruka! Call him immediately!"
"H - He ignored our signal!" Soriko said with a flustered expression.
"What?! What the hell is that guy doing?!" Kazuo had a headache at that moment.
"Don't worry, I'll call hi---" Kyouko was about to call Haru, but then she was stunned when she saw the monitor in the monitor room since she saw Haru was on the monitor together with a girl that she didn't know.
The smartphone in her hand dropped and Kyouko felt that her soul had been taken at that moment, but at the same time, she felt angry, jealous, and she didn't want to lose!

After eating ramen, Kiriko had to admit that she was in a good mood since the ramen was very delicious. She had to admit that it was good to have him beside her since she could enjoy a lot of things, however, her happiness was very short when the Penguin suddenly appeared in the city.
"....."
Haru was also speechless when he saw the Antarctic Number 8, Ritz, and a group of Penguins suddenly appeared in the city when he was on his way to his house together with Kiriko.
"Ah! That's Kasugano Haruka!"
"H - He's on a date with his girlfriend!"
"What?! I'm very envious!"
The Penguins, who distributed fliers, started to surround Haru and Kiriko.
Kiriko hid behind Haru at that moment, but Haru was looking at them curiously. "What are you doing?"
"Kasugano Haruka!"
Then Ritz, who had been defeated by Haru, also came to Haru and Kiriko. She stared at Haru and had to admit that this guy was very handsome. She smiled and looked at Kiriko. "Is she your girlfriend?"
Kiriko blushed at this moment and looked at Haru with expectation.
Shaking his head, Haru said, "No, we're on our way to have a study session, so it'll be great if you don't bother us."
"Oh! I'm sorry for bothering the two of you!"
The Penguins realized their mistake and opened a path for both of them.
"Thank you." Haru nodded and asked, "So what is in your hands? Is this your new operation?"
Kiriko looked at Haru in surprise since this guy was very calm, but at the same time, she also felt secure beside him and suddenly her hand was being held which made her blush. "H, Haru?"
"Let's hold hands," Haru said.
"Umm...." Kiriko nodded with a blush. She knew that Haru was worried about her and she felt very happy at that moment.
When Haru asked her a question, Ritz smiled and answered Haru's question. "Yes! We're distributing fliers to advertise the great Penguin Empire! Otherwise known as Operation: The Great Penguin Empire Flyer Handout!"
"Flyer Ritz!"
A group of Penguins happily gathered around Ritz.
"Is that so? Can I have one of the flyers?" Haru asked.
"Sure! Sure! Please support our great Penguin Empire!" Ritz passed the flyer to Haru.
Haru read the flyer for a while and said, "Thank you. Then we'll go back now. We won't disturb your operation."
"Thank you very much! Please give us your support!" The Penguins said at the same time.
"Bye! Bye!" Waving her hand, Ritz said happily.
Haru nodded and walked away together with Kiriko naturally.
"WAIT!!!!!"
Suddenly Ritz shouted loudly and stood in front of Haru and Kiriko to stop both of them.
"What's wrong? Did you forget something?" Haru asked.
Kiriko at this moment didn't feel that nervous since her hand was being held and she thought the Penguin was very dumb.
"We're the enemy! Why should we let you go?!" Ritz said, and a number of Penguins gathered around Ritz after realizing their mistake.
"Really? So what is written on the flyer is a lie? In truth, that the Penguins are a group of bad guys?" Haru asked.
"Of course not! Penguins are very friendly!" Ritz refuted.
"Then it is good. I'll help you to promote it," Haru said.
"Ah? Is that so? Thank you very much!" Ritz said happily.
"Thank you very much!" The Penguins were also very happy when someone understood them.
"We'll go back now. Don't work too hard and stay hydrated. It's quite hot after all," Haru said.
"YES!"
Waving his hand, Haru said goodbye naturally.
The Ritz and Penguins continued to distribute the flyers.
When Haru and Kiriko walked out his smartphone vibrated then when he opened the call, he heard a roar from his phone.
"Why the hell did you get chummy with our enemy?! Hurry up and go to the headquarters! You need to stop the Penguins no matter what!!!"
Haru sighed and looked at Kiriko at that moment.
"I'll go with you," Kiriko said with concern.
"Well, let's go."
At this moment, one of his quests was completed since he knew the real purpose of the Penguin.
