Chapter 1974 - Haru's Only Virtue

It had been a few years since Kojou, Nagisa, and Yuuma met each other, and of course, there were a lot of things that changed. However, both Kojou and Nagisa were dumbfounded when they saw Yuuma had become a girl.

"Yu - Yuuma?"

"Yuu - Yuu-chan?"

Nagisa and Kojou were dumbfounded, looking at Yuuma, who walked toward them with a smile.

"Yo, Kojou, Nagisa-chan, it has been a while," Yuuma said with a smile to both Nagisa and Kojou before she looked at Haru, who was leaning on the wall behind with a slightly surprised expression before she returned to her usual smile expression.

When the girls saw Yuuma, who they thought was a handsome guy, appear as a beautiful girl, they understood the reason why Haru decided to accompany Nagisa at this moment. They stared at Haru, and there were "as-expected" expressions on their faces.

Haru pretended that he didn't see anything and observed Yuuma, who was talking with both Nagisa and Kojou since it had been a while for them to meet each other. Even though no one told him anything, he was sure the meeting between the three was probably by accident.

It might be because Yuuma was lonely during their childhood then she happened to meet both Kojou and Nagisa then the three of them became a friend naturally, but with the harem story plot, the handsome child that they thought in their childhood time was in truth a beautiful girl, which somehow part of a cliche plot.

In truth, Haru didn't really have much interest in Yuuma. Rather, he was more interested in Yuuma's mother.

In this world, there was almost no information that Haru didn't know, including the information about Yuuma Tokoyogi, including her mother, Aya Tokoyogi.

Yuuma was a beautiful girl, but she was too young. Her appearance might resemble a high school girl, but in truth, she was born ten years ago from Aya Tokoyogi.

Aya Tokoyogi had never married, so how could she give birth to Yuuma? The answer was simple, and that was cloning. She used her clone her body and created Yuuma in this world, giving her a mission to free her from the legendary prison.

Then how could Aya Tokoyogi be imprisoned in the legendary prison?

Everything started ten years ago in an incident known as the Dark Oath Grimoire incident, which was caused by Aya Tokoyogi.

So what was the Dark Oath Grimoire incident? It was an accident where Aya wanted to erase all the magic and supernatural phenomena on the Itogami island.

Haru wasn't sure why Aya decided to erase all the magic and the supernatural phenomena on the Itogami island and even the world, but it should be a normal and cliche reason such as Aya wanted to become a God in this world by becoming the only person who could wield magic, or she might want to create a normal world where there wasn't any magic or something. He wasn't sure why she wanted to do all of that, but he could ask her later when they met each other.

But the question was, who was Aya Tokoyogi?

Aya Tokoyogi was known as the Witch of Notaria and also the high-ranking member of the criminal organization known as the Library. In simple terms, she was a powerful witch, and she was also Natsuki's friend.

When he saw Aya Tokoyogi's profile, Haru had always wanted to make her his secretary or something, considering how beautiful she was and as everyone had expected, he was more into a mature woman, so he didn't mind using Yuuma to get Aya since he was sure that Yuuma also wanted to use him to save her mother. Both of them were using each other, so there was no need to say much, right?

While Haru was observing Yuuma secretly, Yuuma also did the same while she talked with both Nagisa and Kojou.

"Right, Yuu-chan, let me introduce you!" Nagisa then started introducing everyone. "They're Yukina-chan and Kanon-chan. They're my classmates. As for the high school ones, they're Asagi-chan, Yaze, Rin-chan, and Haru."

Everyone nodded at Yuuma and introduced themselves.

"Hello, my name is Yuuma Tokoyogi. Nice to meet you," Yuuma said as she shook everyone's hands one by one before she shook Haru's hand with a smile. "Nice to meet you, Kasugano-kun."

"Nice to meet you, Tokoyogi-san," Haru said amiably.

"Just call me Yuuma. By the way, can I call you Haru?" Yuuma asked with a smile.

"Sure, Yuuma." Haru nodded

"Thanks." Yuuma nodded.

Kojou was happy that everyone could become friends with each other, and he was happy that Yuuma could be accepted by everyone. After all, Yuuma was his childhood friend, and he didn't want Yuuma to have a bad memory when she left the Itogami island.

"Well Nagisa, we'll go back then. You should spend your time with your childhood friend," Haru suddenly said.

Hearing Haru's words, Rin, Himeragi, Kanon, and Rin, didn't say much since they also understood that Yuuma was the childhood friend of both Nagisa and Kojou, so Yuuma should want to spend more time with Nagisa and Kojou, right?

"Eh? You're going back?" Nagisa couldn't help but feel sad when she heard that they were going back.

"Well, your friend is coming from a far place. Isn't it quite rude for us to disturb your time together?" Haru said naturally.

Hearing Haru's words, Kojou also nodded and thought that Haru was very thoughtful, but...

"It's alright, it's alright, the more, the merrier, right?" Yuuma smiled and said, "I'm also happy to play with everyone, so if you don't mind, how about we play together?"

Haru looked at his girls, and they also looked at him since they left the decision to him. "If you have said that much, then let's play together."

"Yay!!" The happiest one was Nagisa, and she quickly hugged both Haru and Yuuma since they would play together.

Kojou felt a bit strange, but he didn't think too much since as long as Yuuma and Nagisa were happy, then he was happy.

As for Yaze, he also felt happy that he could follow Haru since he was sure that Haru knew about his identity as a member of the Lion King Organization and as the real observer of the fourth primogenitor.

If it was before Kojou was the fourth primogenitor, then Yaze's mission would be very easy, but it was different now since the fourth primogenitor was Kasugano Haruka. It was impossible to observe him, and if he did something wrong, then he might make the entire Lion King Organization his enemy, and if he really did that, even his head couldn't be used to amend their relationship. It was a rare chance that he could observe Haru closely, so he thought to use this chance better.

Haru didn't care what the guys were thinking, but he smiled at Yuuma since... Cough! Cough! He knew that a lot of people misunderstood him, but he just wanted to help Nagisa's childhood friend since, according to the cliche plot, Yuuma should have a sad development or something. It definitely didn't have anything to do with Yuuma's mother, alright?

Haru's only virtue is his honesty, so please believe in him.
