Before the summer vacation, Erina was very busy, but during the summer vacation, she was so free that she decided to live at Haru's house directly. Laying on the sofa with an air conditioner that was fully activated, a cold drink, a snack, and some shoujo manga, she felt that this was simply heaven. As for getting fat? She felt that she couldn't become fat, considering how she had always had an intense workout every night with her man.
Erina put her head on her man's lap and asked, "Say."
"Hmm?" Haru looked at Erina curiously.
"Are you busy in the autumn?" Erina asked.
"Autumn?" Haru raised his eyebrow and said, "I'm not sure yet, but what's wrong? Do you want me to help you with your Moon Banquet Festival stall or something?"
The Moon Banquet Festival is the annual school festival held at Tootsuki culinary academy. During the festival, students can set up a food booth after receiving permission to do so. During the Moon Banquet Festival, students may choose to work individually or in a group.
The festival is considered a huge event that attracts more than 500,000 customers a day. Among these customers are numerous domestic and foreign V.I.P.'s. The customers are accommodated at Tootsuki's on-campus lodging facilities and Tōtsuki Resort; the rent for the lodging alone is a great money maker for Tootsuki.
"Can you?" Erina asked with a shining eye.
"...It's possible, but do you really have to open the stall? Can we just play around the festival?" Haru asked since he really didn't see a reason for Erina to work so hard, considering that he didn't lack money, and as his fiancee, she also didn't lack one either. Even though he knew that as a member of Elite Ten, Erina might need to open her stall as the festival's main attraction, he still had heard that if the members of the Elite Ten didn't want to open one, it didn't really matter.
"Haru, I'm Nakiri. I need to show everyone my skills and strengthen our family position in the culinary world," Erina said with a serious expression.
"I know." Haru patted Erina's head and said, "But you sure that you want to hire me? I'm not cheap."
"What do you want?" Erina blushed and asked, "Don't tell me that you're going to ask me to suck that thing again?"
"........"
'Isn't it you who is the one who sucks it on your own?' Haru thought, but he nodded and said, "Can you?"
"We - Well, I don't really mind, should we do it now?" Erina asked.
"It's still a day, though." Haru smiled and said, "You have become perverted, huh, Erina?"
"Whose fault it is?!" Erina was full of shame.
"Still, where is Hisako? She's usually beside you, but I have seen that you have been separated for a while," Haru said.
"....." Erina stared at Haru.
"What?" Haru raised his eyebrow.
"Do you want to eat, Hisako?" Erina asked.
"....How come that the image of a beast is always on your mind?" Haru was speechless.
"It's because you're like that?!" Erina said without hesitation.
"...." Haru.
"Well, if you're curious about her, she's working hard at the Tootsuki Autumn Election," Erina said.
The Autumn Election is used to determine the current generation's class standing of first-year students through a cooking tournament. Claiming victory in the Election can greatly increase a student's chances of eventually becoming a member of Tootsuki's Elite Ten Council.
"I see." Haru nodded and asked, "Hasn't she asked for your help?"
"No, she said that she was going to use her own power to win the tournament," Erina said with a somewhat proud tone. She then looked at Haru and said, "If you're free, you should come to the festival. I'll show you around, or rather, do you want to become a judge there?"
"Me? A judge? Are you serious?" Haru raised his eyebrow.
"Why not? I'm sure that everyone will be excited to see the richest man on earth taste their food, and if their food is good, you might give them a sponsor or something, right?" Erina asked.
"I'll be visiting the tournament, and I don't really mind becoming the judge, but is that alright with you?" Haru asked.
"Huh? What's wrong with it?" Erina asked with some confusion.
"Aren't you afraid that your husband will be stolen by someone there?" Haru asked.
"No, if you just want to hook up with someone and just do it, it isn't like I can't stop you anyway, and as long as you don't forget me and have me in some part of your heart, I'm alright," Erina said simply.
"..." Haru looked at Erina for a while and said, "I'm glad that you're mine."
"That's true. You should treasure me well forever," Erina said while staring at Haru.
"Yes, I'll treasure you well forever," Haru said without hesitation.
Erina laughed and smiled happily. After all, the time she spent with him was the best time of her entire life. Her childhood time might be dark, but not now, with him beside her, and even though this guy was a bastard, he wasn't that bad, and she also had a lot of sisters that she could trust now, but...
*Ring! Ring!*
Erina looked at her smartphone and frowned, then directly rejected the call and placed it on the table again.
"What's wrong?" Haru asked.
"Alice..." Erina murmured with a bad expression.
Haru smiled and asked, "Your relationship isn't that bad, right? From what I've heard that you're the one who has always bullied her in the past."
"I - I'm not a bully!!!" Erina refuted with a blush on her face, but then she said, "Still, but I might have received my retribution now since you have always bullied me at night."
"......." Haru.
*Ring! Ring!*
"........"
Haru looked at Erina and said, "Why don't you answer her?"
Erina let out a long sigh, took the smartphone, and accepted the call. "What's wrong, Alice?"
"Why did you reject my call?!" Alice complained.
"If you have nothing to say, then I'll end the call," Erina said.
"Wait! Wait! You have been staying at Haru's house all the time! It isn't healthy! Let's go out and play!" Alice said without hesitation.
"Play? Huh? I don't want to. I want to stay at the house." Erina rejected Alice's invitation without hesitation.
"Erina, you meanie! Haru, I know that you're there! Do something about your woman! Don't let her bully me! Or rather, invite her to play with me! No, well, let's just leave Erina, and let's go out to play!" Alice said without hesitation.
"How dare you?!" Erina quickly stood up, and her hair stood up like a Saiyan.
"Well, Erina, it isn't bad to go out for a while," Haru said.
Erina wanted to say that that they were about to go out to play on other days, but she shut her mouth since she felt if she said that Alice would do something and tried to go with them, so...
"Well, I don't mind, let's go out and lay," Erina said simply.
"Yay! Wait for me! I'll drive my car to your house to pick you two up! Wait for me there! Don't you dare to leave me, alright?!"
The sound of fast and loud footsteps could be heard from Erina's smartphone, which caused both Haru and Erina to be able to only shake their heads at this moment, thinking that this girl was too... too excited, right?
