Chapter 1386 Can I punch you?

Sighisoara, Romania.

In truth, Haru wasn't that knowledgeable about Romania after all the popularity of the Balkans wasn't high compared to England, Germany, France, etc so in the end, he decided to return to Sighisoara since he was sure that no one would attack him here.

Even though Sighisoara was the location where the headquarters of Red Faction was located, there was no way for them to attack him, especially when he had already known three identities of their servants.

Haru also couldn't return to Trifas, since everything in that city was being overseen by Yggdmillennia, especially when there was Ruler of the Holy Grail war beside him.

The only thing he never lacked was probably money, but then again, it didn't mean he was going to buy a house since it would take a lot of time for a transaction and the government officials hadn't been opened since it was still early in the morning.

Haru rented an entire restaurant for himself and paid a sum of money to the owner directly then borrowed the kitchen.

It was an open kitchen so Jeanne and Minamoto could see his back directly in the kitchen while sitting on the seat which was located on the bar.

After their meeting, Haru knew that he needed to explain everything, however, he didn't immediately talk and cooked in the kitchen for the three of them since he was sure that Shinobu also missed his cooking.

On other hand, Jeanne and Minamoto didn't talk to each other and kept a meter distance between the two of them since it was too awkward.

Minamoto was smiling while "ara ara" and watched Haru's back.

Jeanne was talking with Shinobu in her mind.

'Shinobu, are you alright with this?'

Jeanne was speechless when she saw how close Haru and his servant were.

'This guy's body has a special condition after all and he can't part with a woman for too long. I was already expecting this situation, but then again, is this really Minamoto no Yorimitsu?'

Shinobu's voice was quite calm and she didn't seem unperturbed by Haru's affairs. She was even more curious about Minamoto's identity since in her world, Minamoto no Yorimitsu was a male after all, not this kind of charming mature woman.

'Yes, she's Minamoto Yorimitsu... Wait! Wait! This isn't a problem with that! Your boyfriend is having an affair!'

Jeanne screamed inwardly.

'It's alright, his love is a bit different from normal people after all, and he has never forced anyone to be with him. I've made my decision to be with him and I know that he loves me, that's what is important to me.'

"Is... Is that so?'

Jeanne blushed.

'Jeanne, let me take over for a while.'

'It's good.'

Jeanne let out a sigh of relief when Shinobu took over the body.

Jeanne's appearance started to gradually change into Shinobu.

When Haru finished his cooking, he also saw Shinobu who had returned. He smiled and said, "Welcome back."

"I am back." Shinobu smiled and asked, "So... don't you have something to say before I punch you?"

"...."

Haru was speechless, but he coughed and started to introduce Minamoto.

"Shinobu, you might have known her name already, but she is Minamoto no Yorimitsu."

"Hello."

Haru wasn't sure what had happened, but he was a bit surprised when he saw that Minamoto was very calm at this moment, but while the pan was still hot, he decided to take this opportunity.

"I know that it is a bit sudden, but something has happened and I have decided to take responsibility for Minamoto."

"Dear!!!"

Minamoto was moved when she heard Haru's words.

However, Shinobu merely smiled and asked, "Then?"

"I need your permission to do so," Haru said.

"...."

Shinobu didn't answer Haru's question for a while and took a cup of tea that was prepared by Haru before. She sipped it for a while and felt relaxed for some reason. She looked at Minamoto and asked, "Have he fucked you?"

"..."

Jeanne and Haru were at a loss when they heard those words.

"Not yet, but I will work hard."

Minamoto looked at Haru with expectation.

"Then please take care of him for now," Shinobu said sincerely and bowed her head.

"Please don't worry, I'll treat him as dearly as I treat my own son." Minamoto also did the same and bowed her head.

Shinobu raised her eyebrow and asked, "You're married?"

"N - Not yet, but I expect that in the future..." Minamoto kept glancing at Haru.

"....."

Shinobu then turned toward Haru with a bright smile and asked, "It's great that you have a beautiful woman beside you now."

"Yes, it is great." Haru let out a sigh since he felt that it was good to have Minamoto as his servant.

"Right, Haru."

"Hmm?"

"Can I punch you?"

"....Sure."

"Come closer."

Haru nodded and knew that being punched was a cheap price for Shinobu's permission. Even though he didn't need her permission, he still wanted her consent since Minamoto's situation was too special.

"Close your eyes."

Haru closed his eyes, but then he felt something soft on his lips. He opened his eyes and hugged Shinobu.

"I miss you, Shinobu."

"I miss you too, Haru."

Shinobu also hugged Haru closely and sniffed into his smell. She didn't want to let him go no matter what and she really missed him, especially when she suddenly teleported alone in this world.

If she wasn't being told the story then her situation was really bad, she was wondering how Haru felt when he did his quest alone and wondered whether he was as helpless as he was, but probably, that didn't happen since he knew this guy's personality well.

"Dear...."

Minamoto was at a loss and she was even crying when she saw how Haru and Shinobu were kissing and hugging each other, but then she quickly thought that she should do more when she returned back later. She definitely wanted more than a kiss and then...

Minamoto suddenly blushed and shook her head in embarrassment, but Haru had told her that he was going to take responsibility for her which meant...

Minamoto laughed pervertedly on the side when she thought about their future.

Jeanne, who was inside Shinobu's body, was blushing and felt embarrassed. Even though she wasn't the one who kissed Haru's lips, she was inside Shinobu's body after all and somehow she felt that she was the one who kissed him at that moment.

Jeanne was confused by this feeling and it might be because she was inside Shinobu's body that Shinobu's feeling for Haru also affected her and at the same time, it was also the reason why she was a bit annoyed when she saw him together with Minamoto at that time, however, at this moment, when they were kissing and hugging each other tasted so wonderful.

It might have been Jeanne's first time meeting him, however, it felt like she had known him for a long time, it was the feeling that she felt at this moment.

Then their lips parted and Haru and Shinobu stared at each other for a while.

"Be prepared," Shinobu said.

Haru let out a sigh and nodded. "Come on!"

Shinobu raised her fist and punched Haru's nose.

*Baam!*

Haru held his nose, trying to stop the nosebleed on his nose.

On the other hand, Minamoto and Jeanne were eating a breakfast that was prepared for them.

It had been a while since they had eaten Japanese breakfast and it tasted so good.

Jeanne and Minamoto had this blessed expression on their faces while eating.

After they ate, they talked to each other about the reason why Jeanne was summoned to this world. She told them that there was an anomaly in this Holy Grail, there were 14 masters and there were 14 servants which weren't normal.

"I see..."

Haru nodded with a serious expression and expressed his surprise, even though he didn't feel surprised. He also made a joke or two which caused them to laugh somehow, but time always passed so quickly and Jeanne needed to go to the church.

However, Haru told Jeanne that there was something weird about the church, at how he attacked the Red Faction alone before, and lastly, about the Lancer of Red that had attacked Jeanne before.

Haru knew that all the masters within the Red Faction besides the master of Saber of Red were controlled by Shirou Kotomine, but in the end, he didn't tell Jeanne about this matter since he felt that it wasn't necessary since the conflict between Red Faction and Jeanne had been established.

"...."

Jeanne was speechless and said, "Please be careful! This isn't a game, you know!"

Haru chuckled and asked, "You're worried about me?"

Jeanne blushed and said, "This isn't a time to make a joke!"

"Sorry, sorry, but you don't need to worry about me." Haru then looked serious and said, "I know that you might be very strong right now, but please be careful and take care of yourself, of course, it is for both of you, Shinobu, Jeanne."

Jeanne smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, I am going to be alright."

Then they didn't stay too long and went to their own destination.

Haru and Minamoto looked at Jeanne who walked away.

"You seem to have something to talk about, Raikou?" Haru suddenly thought that it was better to call her "Raikou" directly since he felt weird to call her dear and it seemed that she didn't mind when he called her this way.

"Yes, dear, it is about that servant.." Minamoto's expression turned serious when she mentioned Karna.

"We can talk about this matter later, but let's return first," Haru said, and at the same time, he was glad that Minamoto could accept the relationship between them and there was no bloodbath between them.

"That's right!"

Minamoto suddenly became spirited.

"What's wrong?" Haru asked.

"Dear, don't forget about your promise." Minamoto smiled gently and whispered something to Haru's ear which caused her to blush.

"...."

The war might be approaching, but all of that was a small matter compared to the promise which he had given to her before and she was very excited about it.
