Haru raised his eyebrow and said, "I'm Kasugano Haruka?"
"Un." Suzune nodded and said, "I might not have believed it before, but when I heard about your deeds where you used your magic to follow the coalition members of the student's Course 2 from behind without them noticing, I know that you're very good at illusion or an optical so I have made a conclusion that this ordinary face is your disguise so you will have a quiet high school life."
"..." Haru looked at Suzune and thought that this girl really had the ability to become a detective. "Senpai, why don't you become a mystery novelist, I'm sure that you'll become successful."
"Thank you, but I'm more interested in the field of research than literature," Suzune said amusedly. "So what is my guess?"
"Well, there's no need to hide it anymore," Haru said and took off his glasses directly. "You're right, I'm Kasugano Haruka."
"....."
The moment Haru took off his glasses, Suzune could only stare at him blankly, she knew that he was very handsome, but this guy was too handsome, right? Especially that mole under his right eye, which made him so charming, but then she sighed. "With your identity, whether it is an actress, rich girl, or even those famous young ladies from various famous magician families will become your mistress, so why me? You should know that I'm a member of the Extra, right?"
The Extra family had always been associated with a crime of treason, the crime of failure to perform an important duty, or "incompetence," so rather than choosing her, Suzune felt that it was better to choose someone better, especially with his identity.
Haru didn't answer Suzune's question immediately, but stared at her, who seemed to feel inferior to everyone. "Senpai, do you think that your worth is lower than those girls that you have mentioned before?"
"I..." Suzune couldn't answer this question since if she admitted it, she felt that she would betray all the hard work that she had done in the past few years, if admitted, it would mean that all the hard work that she had done in the past few years were useless.
Haru smiled and said, "You hesitate, right? So that means it shows that you're believed in yourself and you have never thought of yourself as lower than any of those girls from an actress, rich girls, or even those girls from those famous magic clans. You're special and I can see that quality in you, which is why I'm interested in you and I want to get closer to you, Senpai."
Suzune suddenly felt overwhelmed by all the emotion that suddenly rushed into her. Her face gradually turned red, and it spread to her neck, especially when Haru moved closer to her as if trying to open the deepest part of her heart. She tried to stop him, but it was just impossible. She then closed her eyes and waited for him, but then her forehead flicked. "Ouch!"
"What do you think, Senpai? Do you want me to kiss you that badly?" Haru asked with a smile.
"...."
Suzune wasn't amused by this and asked with an unkind expression. "Haru, it isn't good to tease your senior."
"Sorry, but you're so cute, Senpai that I can help but tease you," Haru said and thought that Suzune was very cute, but he knew that he shouldn't be impatient.
Suzune wasn't amused and started to ignore him. "You!" She didn't feel happy when she was being teased all the time. She had never been treated like this and only turned her body, sulking showing that she was unhappy.
"Sorry, Senpai, I might tease you so much," Haru said.
Suzune sulked, but nodded, still, she also felt very embarrassed when she thought that she wanted him to kiss her, and at the same time, she knew that even though she had always buried herself in the student council talks, her research, and school, pretending that she didn't care about a relationship, but in truth, she wanted someone who could support her and stayed with her, even if they knew about her identity.
"Say, Senpai, can I hug you?" Haru asked.
"Huh?" Suzune was dumbfounded.
"Well, it is just I always have this urge to hug you, especially when I saw you cooking before. I want to hug you directly, but I feel that it might be too rude, so I have thought to ask your permission before?" Haru asked.
"....This is my first time for someone to ask me that kind of request," Suzune was speechless, but then, she nodded gently. "Um."
Haru didn't hesitate and hugged Suzune directly, and gently, feeling her slender body on his arms. He had to admit that it felt good to hug her.
As for Suzune, she also felt the same, she might have been quite tense before, but quickly, she felt very comfortable, warm, and secure. In her mind, she had been pushing herself, doing her research so the status of her family could become better so her mind had been tense all the time, but this time, this moment, she felt very relaxed and wanted to be hugged by him forever.
Haru knew that hugging was the best way to comfort someone, and when he saw Suzune whose face started to relax, he couldn't help but smile. He then smelled her hair and said, "You smell so good Senpai."
Suzune blushed and said, "Pervert." But she didn't move and let him smell her hair.
"Say, Senpai, can you tell me more about your family and why your family has become an Extra?" Haru asked.
Suzune looked up at Haru and nodded. "I don't mind." She then started to tell the history of her family, in the past, her family was known as the Ichihana family, but after they had become Extra, they changed their name into Ichihara.
The Ichihana being from the First Institute, gained the magic to disable opponents and thus interfere with them by manipulating their nerves. This resulted in the Number "One" being dropped from their name. The magic in question that can directly interfere with the human body was forbidden to use for any non-medical reasons, otherwise, the use of the magic is heavily restricted.
"That's the story, it isn't that special, right?" Suzune said.
"No, I'm glad that I can learn more about you," Haru said, but in truth, he knew that the cause of this was because Ichihana family was too weak at that time, after all, compared to the Ichijou family whose magic was to explode blood of the opponent, the magic of Ichihana family was quite tame, but because they were tame that they were prejudiced and being discriminated, leading into the situation where they needed to change their name.
Suzune blushed again and snuggled into him. She then looked at him and asked, "Say, you have a girlfriend, right?"
"Yes." Haru nodded.
"So our relationship, is this alright?" Suzune asked.
"I don't think that there's a right or wrong in a relationship, what matters is whether you're happy with it or not so I won't force you, but one thing for sure, hugging you like this in my arms is enough to make me happy," Haru said.
Suzune was moved and after a moment of struggle, she said, "Well, let's just stay like this longer."
"How about we sit in a more comfortable place, like your room?" Haru asked.
"....Are you only going to hug me?" Suzune asked with some doubt.
"Un." Haru nodded with pure and innocent eyes.
"......." Suzune only realized that she had invited a wolf to her house, but she was already trapped and couldn't run so all she could do was to enjoy it, right?
