"Thank you very much," Haru said, then left the podium along with the sound of clapping hands that could be heard through the entire auditorium since everyone was amazed by his speech. In his mind, everyone in this place was just a simple high school student, he had become a Governor of Japan in the past, and it was easy to create various speeches that could touch people's hearts.
Honoka and Shizuku clapped their hands very hard and wanted to meet him now, telling him they were amazed by his speech.
Not only the two of them, Miyuki, Tatsuya, and the other characters, were amazed by his speech and thought that this guy could become a mighty politician.
When Haru walked out from the stage, Mayumi was standing there with a smile.
"What an amazing speech, Rokkaku-kun," Mayumi said with a smile.
"Thank you." Haru smiled and asked, "Did this perhaps change your perception of me, Senpai?"
Mayumi pouted and said, "I still think that you're a very cheeky junior, though."
"Thank you for the praise," Haru said with a smile.
"...I'm not praising you." Mayumi was speechless and had to admit that this guy threw him off, but it was pretty fun to talk with him since most people around her were quite stuck in the mud kind of people, which made her bored.
"Still, I like your speech when you said, "Let's work hard together... as equals... even beyond just magic." Those are some suggestive words, you know?" Mayumi asked with a smile.
"Should I not say that?" Haru asked with a smile.
"No, I like it," Mayumi said with a smile. (In the Japanese language, "No, I like it," it sounds like I like you or something).
"...." Haru.
"Wh - What's with that expression?" Mayumi asked nervously.
"Senpai, you're not confessing to me, right?" Haru asked.
"...." Mayumi.
"I - I didn't confess to you?! What are you talking about?!" Mayumi's face was covered in blush and became agitated.
"Thank God..." Haru patted his chest in relief.
"...." Mayumi wasn't sure why, but Haru's reaction annoyed her somehow. She thought for a while and felt that she needed to get him to the student council to fix his cheeky attitude. "Rokkaku-kun, how about you join the student council? I'm sure that it'll be a great experience for you."
"Senpai, what's wrong with your face? Why does it seem to be very scary for some reason?"
When Haru and Mayumi bickered to each other, the rest of the students who wanted to talk with Haru seemed to be stunned since they didn't expect the relationship between Haru and Mayumi could become so close.
'Did they know each other, perhaps?'
They thought in their minds, but at this moment, they wanted to talk to him, asking him about Kasugano Haruka.
Miyuki also looked at Haru and Mayumi, and her face became complicated. Her aunt had reminded him before and told him that he was very skillful at talking with a girl, so even if his face was very ordinary, there would be a lot of girls who might fall for him, but in truth, she didn't think too much since she had never seen someone who had good conversation skills. Still, when she saw Haru for the first time, how scary Haru was since someone like Mayumi, who seemed like an angel in the eyes of everyone, could become like a spoiled girlfriend in front of Haru, which made her slightly in loss, wondering how she should report to her aunt, after all, she was afraid that if she told the truth, her aunt might be annoyed.
'And if she annoyed...'
Miyuki shuddered and wasn't sure what her aunt might do. She thought of reaching out to Haru to not mess around. She then started to walk and didn't realize that her brother was looking at her back at this moment, wondering what she would do at this moment.
---
Haru was glad that Mayumi was talking with him since he could use this chance to return safely, considering how many people tried to surround him, and he was sure that they would ask him about Kasugano Haruka, which made him quite helpless. He used the corner of his eyes and saw both Honoka and Shizuki, who seemed troubled by the crowd, so he thought to stop the conversation, but suddenly he could hear a show and lovely voice from the side.
"I'm sorry for bothering both of you. My name is Shiba Miyuki. Nice to meet you, and can we talk for a bit, Rokkaku-kun?"
"..."
Everyone was dumbfounded since the one who said this was the most beautiful girl in the school, Shiba Miyuki. They didn't expect this angel to approach Haru and even took the initiative to invite him to talk, which made them even more dumbfounded.
Some of the guys who fell in love at Miyuki, at first sight, seemed to be at a loss. After all, no one would think that they would be able to match Rokkaku Haruka. Considering his family name, they knew where he came from, from the result of his exam, and his amazing speech before, they felt that Haru match Miyuki. After all, even though Haru's face might be ordinary, he was a man of talent.
Mayumi looked at Miyuki with surprise, but there was some unhappiness since she was disturbed so suddenly. "Sorry, but he is still talking with me."
Miyuki raised her eyebrow and stared at Mayumi with some frown since her aunt had given her a task to stop Haru's interaction with Mayumi no matter what, so her impression of Mayumi wasn't that good. "Well, we need to ask his opinion, right, President?"
"That's true." Mayumi nodded then looked at Haru. "Rokkaku-kun, what do you think? Will you continue our talk, or will you follow Shiba-san?"
"...."
Everyone became quiet since they didn't expect to see such a fight right on the 1st day of their school. Then they were also curious, looking at Haru, wondering what was his choice, considering both Mayumi and Miyuki were lovely girls, but...
"I'm sorry, I have to go back now. My friends are waiting for me." Haru apologized to both of them and said, "But we can talk another time." He then left the two girls directly and walked to Honoka and Shizuki. "Let's go back, Honoka, Shizuku."
Shizuku nodded and didn't think too much. Still, Honoka was a bit flabbergasted when Haru didn't hesitate to choose both of them to go back, rather than talking with Miyuki and Mayumi, who was known as the most beautiful girl in the school, but she was happy at this moment.
"Yes!"
Then the three of them left, and the crowd could only watch this scene with dumbfounded expressions, then looked at Mayumi and Miyuki, who seemed to be in a daze.
"....." Mayumi and Miyuki.
Both of them didn't know why, but they somehow wanted to smack Haru's head at that moment.

When Haru returned, he was welcomed by both Maya and Sumire.
"Welcome back." 2x
"I'm back," Haru said with a smile, and it felt nice to have someone who welcomed him.
"How is the school?" Sumire asked.
"I've seen my niece and nephew before," Haru said.
"....." Maya was speechless, but then she couldn't help but hit Haru's arm several times.
"Sorry, sorry, but it feels weird when your niece suddenly wants to invite me to talk." Haru then looked at Maya and asked, "Did you ask your niece to monitor me or something?"
Maya looked away directly, and her answer was obvious.
"Hmph!" Haru directly carried Maya on his arm and said, "It seems that I need to teach you who the man is at home." But then her other hand also carried Sumire too.
"Wait, wait, it is still early!" Maya was embarrassed since it wasn't night yet.
On the other hand, Sumire was wondering why she was carried too since she hadn't done anything, right?
