Haru had expected that he would become a free laborer again, but he didn't think too much. He rolled the sleeves of his shirt and worked with very fast speed.
Kotori: "Haru, be careful not to fall from the ladder, alright? Yes, that's it."
Eli: "Rin-chan, the one on your side is too high, lower it a little bit, and keep it in line with Haru and the others."
Rin: "Okay, nyaa!"
Nozomi: "Nico-chan, please move faster, the parts that I have assembled are almost double of yours."
Nico: "Wait for me! Please don't rush, me alright? Ah! So annoying, why don't these sellers assemble all the materials in advance!"
Maki: "If they do that, they can't pack it on the packaging. If they assemble it beforehand as you said then when the transportation cost will increase several times."
Nico: "....."
Honoka: "Everyone! I have brought a lot of people who are willing to help us!"
Umi: "Honoka, since you have called out the people, now, can you help us? We are still short of manpower here. Besides, you're as strong as a cow, how can you be lazy?"
Honoka: "Umi-chan, you're so rude! How can you describe a girl like that!"
Umi: "Stop complaining, hurry up and get to work, if we don't move in a hurry then we'll be too late."
"..."
In front of the teacher's room, Haru and the others were very busy, at first, there were only nine of them, but Honoka also soon came over with three girls.
Those three girls, Haru, seemed to have seen them more than once before, the first one was during Honoka's first concert, and the second one was at the concert where nine people gathered together, and many more times that the three of them could be seen when Muse was doing their concert.
It could be said that the three of them were the best supporters of Muse.
Haru asked for their names and found out that their names were Fumiko, Mika, and Hideko.
"Everyone, I have already bought lunch. Please eat first so we can start working full of energy!"
Hanayo walked over with quite an effort carrying a basket full of lunches. Although there was a lot of sweat on her cute cheeks, she still greeted everyone with a healing smile, when she saw three supporters, she immediately covered her mouth and said, "Ah! Are there more people? I don't have enough bento."
"It's alright, we can buy the lunch by ourselves later."
The three supporters waved their hands and said."
"How can you say that? You have helped all of us so at least we should prepare a lunch for the three of you."
Haru shook his head and looked at Hanayo. "Hanayo-chan, can you buy the lunches again?"
Hanayo nodded shyly, then ran out in hurry, her back was very cheerful and felt very happy that she was needed.
After a while, Hanayo came over with the remaining three lunch boxes.
Then they spread a few pieces of cloth on the ground like a picnic trip and started eating lunch together.
Haru held the bento box in one hand and chopsticks in the other hand, before he took out his smartphone to call for help.
"Haru, you should put your phone down and eat," Eli said. She felt that her boyfriend was too rude, playing with his phone, even though he was still eating his food.
"I am going to ask for help," Haru said. He didn't bring his bodyguards and he didn't need to do so, but he felt that he needed to bring them since he needed help to build the tent. It might be possible for him to build the tent by himself, but he needed to use all of his power to do so.
If he did so, then it would be unnatural and he also didn't want to expose his power in this world.
"Let me feed you," Nozomi said.
"....."
Everyone was speechless by Nozomi's words.
Being stared at by everyone, Haru put down his smartphone and said, "You don't need to, I can do it myself." It wasn't that he was embarrassed, but he knew that Nozomi was also tired and hungry so even though the offer was tempting, he didn't want to make his woman suffer.
Looking at the progress of the venue and looking at everyone, he couldn't help but sigh.
Umi, who sat in front of Haru with her bento, couldn't help but ask, "Haru, why did you sigh? Isn't our current progress going well?"
"Yes, it went very smoothly, but now, there is only an hour left before the event. Time is very tight and I feel that something might happen..."
Haru knew that they didn't have enough manpower. With all of them, they had around 13 people in total, and he knew that it wasn't enough. He could continue to work, but if he did that the girls also wouldn't stop working and they might overwork themselves.
After all, among the 13 people, all except for Haru, all of them were girls, and of course, their strength wasn't as good as men's.
It was a pity that today was a holiday, although some clubs had come to participate in the activities, only a small number of people had come and each of them was also quite busy, so only a few people could come to help.
"Maki, how long will the workers that you call out arrive?" Haru asked Maki who sat next to him.
"I'll call and ask."
Maki put down her lunch and quickly called out, but when she heard the answer from the workers that she called out, the result made everyone's heart sink.
They were trapped in a traffic jam on the road!
Haru twitched his lips and didn't expect that their luck wasn't good.
Today was the most important day for Muse since their performance was connected to whether their school could be saved or not but a lot of problems kept coming toward them.
The first problem was that they couldn't get to their venue, then the workers who came before were being sent back by Maki, and now, the workers were being called back by Maki who was trapped in a traffic jam.
"How are you, Haru? When are your helpers going to come?" Maki asked, hopefully.
Everyone also looked at Haru with hopeful expressions.
"They should be coming soon, but rather than workers, they're my bodyguards," Haru said.
"Bodyguards..."
They looked at Haru with dumbfounded expressions.
Haru patted his butt and stood up. "Well, let's eat quickly and continue to work after eating."
"Yes!"
The girls responded vigorously.
However, enthusiasm alone couldn't solve everything. Ten minutes later, Umi, Honoka, and Rin made a fatal mistake, and they had problems in the initial assembly which meant all their previous efforts were useless and they needed to rebuild the venue from zero.
At the same time, because the progress on their side had stopped, the progress of Haru's group and Maki's group, as well as the group of three supporters also stopped.
Then they started to cry since their situation had almost turned useless.
Haru raised his eyebrows and felt uncomfortable when they were crying, but at the same time, he knew that if he could save this situation, it would be very easy to take down nine of them at the same time.
"There's still time, and everyone will help Honoka and others."
Time entered the last fifty minutes, Haru and the girls were racing against the time, and no one spoke.
Even Honoka and Rin who talked a lot in normal times were biting their lips at this time, letting a drop of sweet slip off their cheeks, forgetting to wipe them.
They were already on the right track, but God seemed to have deliberately opposed them. In the last forty minutes, they received another piece of bad news!
"Honoka, Kotori... stop your work. I'm afraid that I can't give you the space in front of the teacher's room."
When the school's director Kotori's mother walked by and said these words, everyone, except for Haru, was stunned.
Rin who was standing on the folding stairs, felt her body trembling and fell directly from above!
Fortunately, Haru was below and caught her in time, otherwise, the consequence wouldn't be light and this girl wouldn't be able to perform later.
"Mom! How can you do this?! Didn't Eli have already told you before and you also agreed, right? Why did you suddenly stop us?"
Kotori couldn't contain her emotion and desperately rushed to her mother, asking loudly.
Eli also did the same and asked, "Yes, Chairman, when I asked you for the right to use this venue, you obviously agreed."
Kotori's mother sighed slightly and said, "If it's not the last resort, I don't want to do this... but I'll ask you, are you sure that you can build your venue before the School Tour Day?"
"I... we definitely can!"
Honoka clenched her fist tightly and said loudly.
Kotori's mother shook her head then looked around before asking, "Where's Kasugano-kun?"
"Huh?" 12x
Twelve girls looked around and didn't see him anywhere which made them even more desperate.
Kotori's mother sighed and said, "Well, let me explain to all of you that this event is very important for the school and if the students and parents who visit by that time come, and they see those things in front of them right in front of the teacher room, I am afraid it'll bring a bad image to our school."
Kotori's mother's tone was very gentle and explained this matter since she was also very helpless.
"I want to help you, but I also have my own position. I am the Chairman of this school, so I can't give up the interest of the whole school because all of you are so..."
When Kotori's mother was about to finish her words, she was dumbfounded when she saw a convoy of luxurious black cars that were moving in their directions.
"This..."
Everyone was also dumbfounded, but then they saw Haru come out of the car and there was also a group of men with black suits and sunglasses, coming out one after another from the cars.
"Hurry up and help me set up the tent," Haru said.
Everyone nodded at the same time and went to set up the venue together.
Looking at the 40 grown-up men who set up the venue together at a very fast speed, everyone became even more dumbfounded since the scene was surreal and at the same time, they realized what the power of money could do.
"You and you set the cars away so it won't bother the event," Haru said of the rest of his bodyguards.
They nodded and parked the cars in other places so it wouldn't cause trouble.
Haru looked at Kotori's mother and said, "With five minutes, the venue will be done so you don't need to worry director Minami, and please leave everything to me."
"...."
Kotori's mother opened her mouth before closing it again. In her mind, the rich were really different and since the owner of the school had told her to leave everything to him then she didn't need to worry about anything. She let out a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will the rest to you, Kasugano-kun." She then looked at her daughter for a moment before she left.
Haru then looked at everyone whose eyes were red because they were about to give up before. He smiled gently and said, "Wipe away your tears and put on your smile since you'll go out to perform and leave the rest to me."
At that moment, they knew that they needed to prepare themselves, but they couldn't contain their emotions since during their most desperate moment, this young man came and saved them with his soldiers.
"HARU!!!" 9X
The nine of them directly hugged this young man and thought that they were glad to have him as their producer.
"Okay, okay."
Haru patted their backs and said, "Hurry up and prepare, give your best."
"YES!!!" 9x
The nine girls then quickly prepared themselves, everything had been solved and now they needed to do their best to do their performance, but then, they secretly glanced at the young man who had brought them a miracle, and there was a blush on their cheeks.
Of course, it didn't go unnoticed by Eli and Maki who let out a sigh, but Nozomi smiled happily since she felt her plan might be feasible to be implemented.
