"Sorry about it." In that awkward silence between them.
Rito was the first to speak while glancing at the girl with the blue hair, who was silently looking around the room and must have been experiencing the same degree of awkwardness as he was.
"Mikan just got you stay. Plus, you should be getting home late, so don't mind me and go." At Rito's words, Haruna smiled and shook her head.
She was not in a rush because she had already called her sister to let her know that she would be returning late and that they had two weekend days coming up.
She also had the opportunity to spend some time with him.
"It's alright! I am not in a rush. Also, just like your sister had said. It is necessary to keep an eye on you, or else you might start pushing yourself, even though you had completed half a course of this year."
Haruna laughed as she reflected that the Rito from middle school was undoubtedly not the same as this, but she could see from his desperate attempt that he had not changed all that much.
'But he was diligent, I guess.' Her thoughts wander.
Rito, on the other hand, could not help but notice the tiniest detail of the girl.
As his sight wandered around her lips, as she looked like she was thinking of something, her finger seemed to be touching her juicy lips.
The summer dress is slim and tight, covering her tight body.
She was sitting in front of the bed, on the small pillow that Mikan had bought.
While her eyes were staring at the window side, not noticing Rito's gaze on his face and lips.
"Say! Sairenji-san. Can I call you Haruna instead?" A flicker of surprise appeared on the girl's face. A small blush that could not be contained covered her face, but noticing Rito's gaze on her expression, she could not come to reject him, given she had also been thinking of it for a long time now.
"Sure! Then, I'll also call you Rito-kun." Having dropped such a chance. Haruna also made up her mind, took a somewhat proactive stance from her own point of view, and addressed Rito by his first name.
"That's great. With this, I had a friend from the class too." Rito proclaimed, making Haruna laugh, as she thought how Rito was quite true about it, plus this was also her first time making a friend from boys.
Normally, she only hangs around Momioka and Mio.
"Then! I will be leaving." They both heard a knock on the door. Looking from the window side, Rito saw Mikan coming, so he could tell that it was Mikan coming back and had already talked about it with Haruna.
"Sorry! I could not come with you." Rito truly felt that it was such a waste of a chance, given a quest from 'H-system.' had already appeared within his screen, and he also wanted to see how and what kind of things he could get from this system.
[Harem Program.]
[Romantic Partners: [Yuki Mikan (Status: First Crush) (Reward: 3).] + [Kotegawa Yui (Status: Friendly) (Reward: 1).] + [Haruna Sairenji (Status: First Crush) (Reward: 3).] ].
[Total Cp: 20,100.]
TLN: Status is divided into: Neutral: 0 Cp + Friendly: 100 Cp + Interested: 1000 Cp + First Crush: 10,000 Cp.
[Note: Every month, depending on the current status, the host will be rewarded with given Cp, and the host can buy stuff from the shop using Cp.]
[Note: There is nothing the host can't buy from the shop.]
[Note: Even the freedom can be bought at a certain price, not to say life too.]
The note section undoubtedly made Rito shiver, but when you look at it from the other direction, it is obvious that he can purchase life, which implies that he can even save life if he ever wanted to, provided he had the system point.
Which is really something anyone in this world would desire to have at all costs.
'Oh, I can even buy money. 1 Cp equals 100 dollars.' When Rito looked at the other things, he dismissed the idea of using Cp to earn money because he could get it on his own.
However, the other things were worthwhile.
"It's alright! I can go back myself; also, you are still sick, so have some good rest." After trying to get to her feet with a smile on her face, Haruna discovered that one of her legs had gone numb, nearly tripping her way to Rito's bed.
"Eh, no way." As he grasped her shoulder in reflection and felt a tiny bump on his head, Rito's mind went blank when he saw the actual use of lucky pervert, an original anime character.
They both fell onto his bed without getting hurt.
But the goddess of luck was always smiling on Rito in his entire life. When he opened his eyes, he felt a gentle touch on his lips; Haruna's sore eyes opened at last, and two of their gazes locked.
Rito's nostrils, sight, and mind were filled with the feminine scent of her body and her unevenly exposed dress up, causing them to bleed slightly from excitement.
Meanwhile, his younger brother became erect.
"Rito! Is everything okay?" And the next moment, Mikan entered the room to find them in such an ambiguous position.
-----------------------
'This is...' Rito felt speechless. Mikan returned with a smile after seeing Haruna leave, sitting in front of Rito as though she was inquiring about what was going on inside and not even believing what Rito had said. Two of them were in a stalemate.
"Alright! Let's say it all happened by chance, but I think... no, never mind." Saying that Mikan left the room.
Rito was left feeling somewhat stunned, but he was also relieved that the mischievous young girl was no longer there and that the blinking system sign was already receiving all of his attention.
'Don't tell me. It is related to that kiss.' Rito thought.
[Quest Module.]
[Harem Quest: Take the first kiss from any female lead.]
[Reward: Title: Protagonist Charm.]
Title: Protagonist Charm.
Detail: Increase the favorability of any females in the host surrounding. The higher the positive image of the host, the more females will be affected, and the lower the host image, the cooler and more attractive they will find the host.
'Fuck! This is a deadly title.' Rito thought, as he checked and found that his Cp had also increased by another 10K points.
[Total Cp: 30,100.]
'This is... Hah! Whatever.' Although Rito saw how emotions were being evaluated by points, he paused in the middle because he believed that his own judgment was determining what was right and wrong; the system only attempted to reward him, and he had no reason to doubt the system's integrity because it was only a helpful guide for him.
[The points provided are not based on emotions but purely on action.]
[Emotion is calculative; only the way they looked at host changes can be differentiated.]
[That is why, even by being friends, they can invest a higher amount of emotions even if they were to be compared to someone who is in an interested state.]
[We are just evaluating the target position in the relationship chart.]
