"....."
Haru was in shock when he heard Miharutaki's words.
Watching Haru's shocked expression, Miharutaki felt that her face was so hot and she wanted to hide at that moment, but she knew that if she let this beast out, then she knew that the fate of her fiance, a childhood friend that she once loved before, would be broken and destroyed by him, so she decided to take a bet.
Miharutaki wasn't sure, but she was, after all, a beautiful girl which was why she decided to make this bet with him.
Miharutaki knew that with the net worth of her family and Miboumi combined together, it wouldn't even reach Haru's net worth at all since Haru was the richest man on earth so it was impossible to use money or authority to tempt him, and which was why she used her own virginity as a stake.
"I know that I might not be that beautiful, but I'm still a virgin and I have never had that kind of experience with anyone, so what do you think?"
"...Was this Miboumi's order?" Haru asked with a frown, thinking that Miboumi was trash for not being able to love such a lovely girl, and ignored her, for his own gain. Even if he was a scumbag, he wouldn't leave his girls and loved them dearly, he wouldn't use them for his own gain and threw them once they didn't have used them anymore, even used her to stop him, which was why he thought that Miboumi was trash.
"No."
Shaking her head gently, Miharutaki said, "This has nothing to do with Miboumi."
Haru was surprised when he heard Miharutaki's words. "Do you like him that much?"
"I..."
Miharutaki wanted to say "yes", but it was so hard when she wanted to utter it from her mouth, but she gritted her teeth and nodded.
"Yes, I love him, which is why I don't want him to be devoured into this school."
What Miharutaki feared wasn't wrong since Haru had planned to short sell any companies that were related to Miboumi's family and caused serious loss or even bankruptcy to his family, but when he heard Miharutaki's words, he felt slightly jealous of Miboumi to have a girl that was capable to sacrifice this much, even though she had been betrayed by Miboumi, however, Haru also felt that it was quite normal for Miharutaki to start this bet with him since if he devoured Miboumi's family, Miharutaki's family was also affected since both families were connected to each other.
'But...'
Haru knew that unlike Miboumi, who was pretty devious, Miharutaki wasn't that kind of girl, but he also knew that she wasn't stupid since, with this bet, she would be able to stop him to devour Miboumi's family either way.
If Miharutaki the bet, which was pretty much impossible, then she would be able to stop him, but even if she lost, and lost her first time, she would be able to make him go easy and soft toward the family of Miharutaki and Miboumi.
"What is your answer? Will you have a bet with me?"
Miharutaki didn't let go of Haru's hand, but her hand was trembling since her emotion was mixed at that moment. She stared at the face of the man that she was about to fight at this moment, but even if she lost, she felt that it was alright to lose her first time to him, which was why she dared to say all of that, but if he rejected the bet then all of her talks would turn into nothing, which was why she needed to stop him here.
"Sorry."
Haru shook his head and said, "I refuse this gamble." He didn't hesitate to gamble and left, after all, even though 70% of his body was semen and his libido was high, he wasn't dumb enough to be kind enough toward his enemy because of a woman. Even though it was impossible to kill them in this world, no, it was possible, but he would refrain from doing this as long as they followed the rules, but still, as long as someone was his enemy, then he wouldn't be kind since being kind to an enemy, then it would cause him trouble.
Well, not him, but his children might be troubled by Miboumi's family, but still, it might be good so his child could grow up better when there was an enemy in front of them.
However, Haru would be lying if he wasn't tempted, which was why he decided to go out immediately since he wasn't sure what he would do if he stayed in this room any longer...
However...
(BGM: Chihiro - Reset).
"No!"
Miharutaki hugged him without hesitation, her eyes were in tears, and she said with a choked voice, "Please don't go."
Haru stopped and let out a long sigh. "You should know that you're Miboumi's fiance, and I'm sure that you've realized that he has seen us, hugging each other at that time when you were sad before."
"I know."
Miharutaki kept hugging Haru's back and said, "Miboumi has confronted me before and asked about our relationship, but I didn't care."
"Why?"
Haru raised his eyebrows and knew where this went, but he needed to confirm it. "You have said that you love him, right? Then why did you hug me like this?"
"Because I like you.
"I love you, Haru."
"...."
There was a silence between them, and the sound of laughter of everyone that played on the school festival from the outside was the only thing that could be heard from this room.
Haru took a deep breath and responded calmly.
"You're Miboumi's fiance, and I'm Kirari's fiance, you should know that it is impossible, right?"
Haru knew that Miharutaki was beautiful, but he really didn't have an intention to make him part of his harem which was why he rejected her softly, telling her that it was impossible between them. He knew that was a scumbag for saying this and even rejected her, but what could he do?
"I see..."
Miharutaki let go of Haru's back and said, "Then I won't stop you anymore."
Haru turned and looked at Miharutaki who was smiling gently at this moment and somehow he had a feeling that he might not forget this smile for his entire life. Unfortunately...
"I know that it is impossible between us, but I still want to try since I'll graduate soon, or rather, because of Miboumi's accident, I might not be able to stay in this school any longer so I want to try to confess to you, but I guess, I have been rejected, huh?"
"Thank you, I'm happy to hear about your feelings for me and I'm glad to know that there's a wonderful such a wonderful girl like you here, Miharutaki-senpai," Haru said.
"No."
Miharutaki shook her head and said, "I'm the one who is happy to know you." She looked at Haru and said, "You should go now."
"Then I'll go."
Haru knew that it sounded cruel and it might be better to accept this girl as part of his harem directly, but he really couldn't which was why he wouldn't show another gentleness and left the room, leaving her alone.
Miharutaki didn't stop him this time and when the door was closed, her tears couldn't be controlled anymore, it was overflowing that she didn't know what to do.
"I..."
Miharutaki plopped on the sofa, wiping her tears that couldn't be controlled, but if a time could be returned, then she hoped that her childhood friend and fiance would be him since if so, then she wouldn't have to taste this pain.
"Haru..."
