As Haru returned to this original world, he sighed in relief and felt that everything was so nostalgic. He was in his garage and was about to go Erina's house since he had told her that he wanted to give her some gifts before.
---
Erina was at her house, doing some of the work that she needed to settle as a member of both Elite Ten and heir of Nakiri Clan. She massaged her temple and wondered why she was so busy since it was so hard for her to enjoy her quality time with him.
'Even though it's a holiday...'
Erina thought that it was better to move to Haru's house since if that happened, she could see him every day which made her excited somehow.
"Erina-sama, there's a new Michelin star restaurant that asks you to taste their new menus, do you want to visit it today?" Hisako asked.
"Hisako, cancel all of my appointments and push it to tomorrow," Erina said calmly.
Hisako was stunned for a while, but she could guess what Erina was about to do. "Is Kasugano-sama going to visit today?"
"Yes."
Erina's mood brightened since her boyfriend was going to visit her, but then she remembered that there was one problem that she needed to settle. "Hisako, whatever you do, you need to stop Alice from entering my mansion, alright?"
"Y... Yes!"
It was Hisako's first time seeing Erina with such a serious expression, however, as expected...
'Erina-sama is so beautiful...'
---
Haru quickly arrived at Erina's house and he could enter without trouble since he often came to this place. Looking at how big this house was, he sighed when he thought the only one who lived in this place was Erina and the servants who served her.
Haru knew that Erina's father was unreliable, but because of that, he was curious as to why her father could be so cruel to her and he found out the reason.
Erina's mother.
It took him a long time, however, he had found out that Erina's mother was the current Bookmaster of WGO (World Gourmet Organization).
Haru was speechless at first, but then he knew that with Erina's mother's power and connection, it would be quite easy for him to acquire various food companies.
'If Erina's father isn't bad...'
Haru still hoped that Erina's father would change since he knew that Erina's father was a very talented man and even if that guy was very cruel and hateful toward Erina in the past, Erina's father would become his father-in-law after all.
Haru had asked his people to search for more information about Azami Nakiri and he had found out an interesting fact, but it still needed some time before everything could be determined.
Haru had received a chat from Erina that she was in her office in her mansion so he directly walked to that place, however, when he was about to open the door, someone opened the door first.
"Good morning, Hisako."
"...Good morning..."
Hisako looked at Haru with a complex expression. Even though she had to admit that Haru was very suitable for Erina, there was something in her heart that told her that she felt uncomfortable. She had been with Erina for a long time yet her status was only as Erina's secretary and she had been watching Erina since her childhood time.
It felt like the daughter that she had stolen which annoyed her, and it might be her woman's instinct that she knew this guy was a bad guy and at that time when Erina returned from Saitama's trip, she could see there was a change on her which made her heart quite complicated.
However, Hisako couldn't change the fact that there was no perfect lover for Erina other than him, especially when she remembered that he had saved her, Erina, and Alice together against a bear in the past.
Hisako knew that if this guy tried to chase after her then she might not able to defend against him since she knew how lethal this guy was, but at the same time, it also made her worried that he might hurt Erina in the future.
"If you keep staring at me like this, I am going to get embarrassed, Hisako," Haru said with a smile.
"So - Sorry!"
Hisako's white face was dyed with a light shade of rose and even though she hated it, she had to admit that this guy was very charming.
Haru chuckled and said, "I don't mind since it is good being stared at by such a cute girl like you, Hisako."
"..."
Hisako felt that her cheeks were very hot at that moment and her entire face flushed.
"Haru! Don't tease my secretary!"
Erina quickly came out of her office, clearly showing her annoyance when this guy flirted with her secretary.
Haru smiled when he saw Erina then quickly hugged her.
"I miss you, Erina."
"...."
The words of complaint that Erina wanted to utter at that moment stuck in her mouth. She wanted to hug him back, however, her secretary was there and she needed to maintain her image.
However, Erina forgot that she also often showed how she acted so spoiled in front of him when her secretary was around her.
"Hi - Hisako, can you close the door for me? I have something to talk about with him first."
"..."
Hisako was speechless, but she bowed her head before closing the door of Erina's office. However, she didn't immediately go out, but she pressed her ear right on the door to eavesdrop on what Haru and Erina were about to do there.
---
"I miss you!"
Erina hugged Haru without hesitation.
Haru also hugged Erina and smelled her hair which smelled very nice. He felt that he could hug her forever, however, he knew that it was impossible since his anaconda was about to wake up.
Haru wanted to give Erina a gift, but he sighed when he saw her tired complexion.
"You're working too hard."
"It's alright. I'm not weak." Erina smiled and then snorted. "You know it yourselves, right?'
"..."
Haru was speechless, but he couldn't deny Erina's words since except for Megumi who had received tough training to become a ninja from Shiina, Erina's stamina was also very good since she often worked out to maintain her stamina and power since being a chef needed a good body.
"I have heard that you're going to give me a gift, what is it?"
Haru could see that Erina was looking at him curiously and with full expectation wondering what kind of gift that she would receive.
Erina thought that it would be a new story or something, however...
"Don't be surprised. Here you go."
Haru took out the paper bag that he had brought from home and showed it to Erina.
When Haru opened the paper bag, showing what was inside the bag, Erina was stunned then stared at her fiance for a few seconds in silence.
"....What is it? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Erina let out a tired sigh and knew that her fiance was a pervert since the thing which he brought was both a leotard and yoga clothes, however, she didn't hate it since her complexion turned red since she could clearly see a bad expression from this hateful guy.
"I hate you!"
