When men became rich, they would become bad.
Yuri had heard those sentences and had to admit that it was true. Looking at Haru, she remembered the first time they met each other.
Their first meeting was quite weird, however, she was glad to meet him.
Yuri knew that when she met him, he was only a quite famous novelist, but then, with one year of time, he had become the richest man on earth. The change in him was huge and she knew that from now on, he would become even more powerful.
In the past, they were so close, but slowly, they drifted apart.
Yuri remembered the time when she worked together with Utaha, trying to get his heart, but Utaha had left her first and became his woman, but she...
"....."
Yuri bit her lower lip and looked in the direction of Haru, Shiina, Iwasawa, and Raikou. She was unwilling to part from him, she knew that if this continued, then they might really drift apart and she didn't want that to happen.
'I have to move!'
Yuri made up her decision and she looked at Haru with a determined expression. She didn't want to be separated from him and she wanted to be with him forever so she would start her attack!
When Yuri was thinking on her own, Haru, Shiina, and Iwasawa taught Raikou how to handle the cafe.
His cafe was very popular, but he only sold a set amount of bread and once it was sold out, he would close the cafe.
When Yuri, Shiina, and Iwasawa entered a high school, Haru only opened his cafe during a weekend when everyone didn't need to go to the school, however, this time, Raikou was going to be the one who handled his cafe since she wanted to help him and at the same time, she wanted to do something during her free time.
Shiina looked at Raikou and wasn't sure why, but she felt that this woman was very powerful for some reason.
On the other hand, when Raikou saw Shiina, Iwasawa, and Yuri, her maternal instinct was awoken and she wanted to take care of all of them, especially when she learned that they were living in this place alone.
Not only Shiina, Iwasawa, and Yuri, Raikou also wanted to take care of Sora, Erina, Kirari, Utaha, and Megumi, feeling that they needed a mother figure.
Haru was looking at Raikou, who was learning under Shiina's guidance until his shirt was tucked by Iwasawa.
"What's wrong, Iwasawa?" Haru asked.
Iwasawa wanted to say something, but she wasn't sure what to say at that moment.
"If you're worried about your first debut then you need to think about your exam first." Haru looked at Iwasawa and said, "If the score of your exam is bad then I won't let you perform on television."
"What?!"
Iwasawa was startled and quickly said, "Don't worry, I will do well on my exam."
"Good, then I don't need to worry."
Haru knew that there was more than one way to determine someone's success other than academic results, however, he wanted Iwasawa to have a high school life since he was sure after she became a popular singer, she would be very busy.
Iwasawa sighed in relief when she heard that her debut wasn't canceled, but then, she remembered something. "That's not it!"
"What's wrong?"
"Is Raikou-san really your girlfriend?"
"Yes, is there something wrong?"
"....."
"Then what about Sora, Megumi, and Utaha?"
"...."
Haru looked weirdly at Iwasawa and said, "You should know already, right?"
Iwasawa twitched her lips. She knew that Haru wasn't a good man, but he was very reliable and if possible, she wanted to be with him all the time.
In the past, Iwasawa knew that the relationship between Sora, Megumi, and Utaha toward Haru was quite different from all the girls around him, but then, she didn't ask much and thought that they were close friends.
Iwasawa also knew that Haru was dating Megumi, so even though she felt sad, she didn't think too much as long as they were happy and Megumi was also her good friend, but when she heard from his own mouth that he was dating a lot of women, she couldn't help but frown.
"Do you think that is alright? Don't you think that you should sincerely love one girl?"
"Iwasawa..."
Haru had a solemn expression on his face and said, "I love all of them. I know that in your mind, I might have done something wrong, but I will make them happy. If you let me choose one then discard the rest then it is impossible for me." He looked at Iwasawa and said, "Do you know the reason why I have decided to become rich?"
"...Why?"
"It's to make everyone happy. In truth, even if I am not rich, I believe that we'll be together, however, if I am rich, I will have the power to protect everyone since you should know that the public won't see us in a good light. Even if we don't try to get into trouble, sometimes some people will try to get us into trouble no matter what.
"However, if I am rich, I will have the power to protect everyone, including you."
"..."
Iwasawa looked at Haru for a while and let out a helpless sigh.
"Then don't make them unhappy, if you make them unhappy then I will smash you with my guitar."
Haru smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do that."
"That's good."
Iwasawa then looked at Shiina and Raikou then glanced at Haru, who was sitting beside her.
'Then I can too...'
In the past, Iwasawa thought that she didn't have a chance because she knew that he was dating Megumi, but now, it was different.
In truth, when Iwasawa heard that Haru was dating a lot of girls, she was surprised, and at the same time, there was a little hope in her heart, after all, she had to admit that his charm was very high.
What Iwasawa wanted from a man was completely simple and that was to treat her dearly and protect her all the time. The only one in her mind that was capable of doing all of that was only Haru and she knew from a long time ago that...
'I really love him...'
"Oh, right, Iwasawa."
Iwasawa was startled, but she quickly calmed herself and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Is the renovation next door finished?"
Haru was wondering whether the renovation of his new house was finished or not.
"Yes, it is finished." Iwasawa nodded and said, "The grilling table has also been set."
"That's good."
"Now that you mention it, what are you going to do with the grilling table?"
"Isn't that obvious? I will use it to make okonomiyaki, monjayaki, and pancakes during a party."
Haru had always wanted a grilling table and now, he had it.
"........"
Iwasawa had to admit that being rich was really willful.
Then after everything was settled, they went to the school, leaving Raikou, who had told them that she was going to take care of everything.
"Do your best on your exam, alright? I hope that you will receive a good score."
"..."
It might be their imagination, but they felt Raikou was like their mother, right?
