583: Hakase
the cat-ear Kunoichi: “Next, try this one, nya.”
Me: “You got it.”
The fashion show continued.
Soon, the other customers in the store started glancing our way too.
There were some looks like “What are those idiots doing?” but there were also a lot of appreciative looks. Encouraged by that, I got even more into it.
Me: “Fufu, how about this?”
I struck a cool pose. the cat-ear Kunoichi was delighted. The store clerk smiled. A female customer let out a bit of a flustered sound.
Eres: “…” (blushing)
Fio: “…” (blushing)
Lurun: “Wow, Hakase looks so cool!” (super smiley)
For some reason, the Lost Fairies girls were there too.
Anyone could see what had happened. I messed up big time. They saw me striking a cool pose with my shirt wide open, exposing my skin.

What timing LOL
585: Anonymous Combatant
There’s no other way to put it, he must have aimed for this LOL
586: Anonymous Combatant
He really does have it LOL
587: Hakase
Frozen Lost Fairies-chan.
Well, of course, everyone is around 15 years old after all. They’ve only just become adults.
She’d be taken aback seeing a man’s skin exposed like that.
In the midst of that, the salvation fairy reached out a helping hand again.
Lurun: “Hello Hakase! Are you off work today?”
Me: “Ah, yeah, so I thought I’d get some new clothes. Hahaha…”
Lurun: “You look great in both suits and casual clothes like today.”
Me: “Yeah, thanks.”
Lurun-chan speaks to me without any hesitation or reservation.
What a good kid…just keep growing up fine like that…
588: Anonymous Combatant
Lurun-chan’s favorability went up again.
589: Anonymous Combatant
And on top of that, the Hakase is climbing the gallows steps lol
590: Hakase
I’m team Fiona-tan! No interest in anyone under 15!
Fiona-tan is a good kid too though.
She coughed to clear her throat, smiled, and spoke up despite her bewilderment.
Fio: “Hello Hakasesan.”
Me: “Ah, Fiona san. Thanks for yesterday.”
Fio: “Ahaha. We’ve ended up sitting together quite often by chance recently.”
Seems like she’s intending to act like the earlier incident never happened.
Eres: “Hello! Erm, you’ve got nice muscular pecs!?”
Eres-chan is a good kid too but it seems she’s still in a confused state.
Listening to Fiona, they had come to the front street to buy matching accessories.
Then they happened to stop by here only to catch my fashion show.
591: Anonymous Combatant
The Hakase’s fashion show was more like a peep show huh.
592: Anonymous Combatant
They seem like good friends, those Lost Fairies girls.
593: Anonymous Combatant
I thought they might have rivalries like an idol group, like “Hey, I’m the center so don’t try to stand out more than me!”
594: Anonymous Combatant
I don’t want any transforming heroines like that.
595: Hakase
the cat-ear Kunoichi: “……” (humu humu)
Fio: “Ah, um? Who is that person…?”
Right, this was the first time Lost Fairies-chan and the cat-ear Kunoichi had met.
Fortunately, since she wasn’t transformed, Fiona and the others didn’t seem to realize her identity.
Conversely, since the cat-ear Kunoichi didn’t do anything to hinder her disguise either, they likely didn’t realize she was an executive member.
Me: “She’s my sister.”
the cat-ear Kunoichi: “…I’m the Hakase’s sister.”
Fio: “Ah, your sister!”
Being an expert spy, the cat-ear Kunoichi immediately pretended to be my sister without any prior arrangement.
Fiona’s smile returned after being a bit wary at first meeting her.
I changed back into my usual suit.
the cat-ear Kunoichi: “…You changed clothes?”
Lurun: “It really suited you!”
give me a break
596: Hakase
After the cat-ear Kunoichi lightly introduced herself, Eres-chan and Lurun-chan bombarded her with questions.
Our human relationships tend to stay confined within the organization, so I just watched over the situation as a learning experience.
Fio: “Your sister is cute.”
Me: “She’s my pride and joy.”
Fio: “I heard she’s also a skilled cook.”
Fiona-tan broke off from that group and chatted with me instead! Chatted with me!
It seems Lurun-chan showed her pictures from the previous takoyaki party.
She made a cute, displeased expression like “No fair!”
597: Anonymous Combatant
Well it seems like things are going nicely overall.
598: Anonymous Combatant
But you know, the Hakase’s feelings for Fiona-chan don’t seem to be infatuation, more just being happy to meet her like an idol fan would be. Not at the “I want to marry her!” level.
599: Hakase
»598 Ah, could be. But I still like her regardless.
Me: “You two seem close.”
Fio: “Yes. Despite the age gap, they’re both precious friends to me. Actually, Hakase, there’s…well, a request, I suppose.”
In the middle of the casual chat, Fiona-tan seemed to have something difficult to say.
I wondered if I should prompt her, when…

600: Hakase
Eres-chan, who had been talking with the cat-ear Kunoichi, came over
“Ah, Hakase san! Then we’ll come visit your home next time!”
She said that with a huge smile.
601: Hakase
Me: “Huh?”
Eres: “Um, I got to know your sister and we made plans to play together next time.”
Me: “Is that so?”
Eres: “Yes, Fiona-chan and Lurun-chan too. Please look after us!”
I looked over at the cat-ear Kunoichi. She promptly averted her eyes from me.
the cat-ear Kunoichi: “…Nyah.”
Me: “Don’t ‘nyah’ me!?”
It seems the cat-ear Kunoichi succumbed to the pressure from Eres-chan and the others, and promised to invite them over to the Hakase’s home.
But that’s the secret base for the organization, you know?
602: Anonymous Combatant
The righteous magical girls promise to come play at the evil secret base.
603: Anonymous Combatant
I can’t really believe it, but is the cat-ear Kunoichi an airhead too…?
604: Anonymous Combatant
Think about it, the Hakase has been looking after her since she was 12 years old.
605: Anonymous Combatant
Ah, then she really is an airhead.
606: Hakase
»604, 605 What do you mean!?
To resolve this situation, I set my rainbow-colored brain cells spinning at full power.
Me: “We’re heading out for a meal now, so would it be okay to reschedule for another day?”
Eres: “Yes, of course!”
Me: “Then I’ll get in touch again with a new plan. I’d love to welcome all three of you over.”
Fio: “Well, if that’s the case, I’m the oldest so I’ll take charge of the coordination.”
Me: “Is that so? Then let me give you my number.”
That’s right, for now we’ll disband this meeting. I’ll urgently buy a new house, and welcome them over while acting like “But I’ve been living here?”
Time to initiate the Hakase’s Home Situation Plan.
607: Anonymous Combatant
…The timing just didn’t work out so the plans fell through, how’s that? (Great idea)
608: Hakase
But if I did that, it would make it seem like the cat-ear Kunoichi lied!
609: Anonymous Combatant
What kind of reason is that lol
610: Anonymous Combatant
You’re quite indulgent towards the cat-ear Kunoichi huh.
611: Hakase
Plus, when you really think about it, this means Fiona-tan is coming over to my place!
I want to buy a nice condo, do some stylish interior decorating, and have her go “Woww, you’ve got good taste Hakase!”
So here’s my question:
Please recommend some fashionable, girl-approved interior design ideas. Pretty please?
612: Anonymous Combatant
You’re really leaving it up to us Nyanj folks!?
613: Anonymous Combatant
The Hakase is still the Hakase after all lol
614: Hakase
Oh, and as she was leaving, the cat-ear Kunoichi told me:
“If Hakase doesn’t say anything, then I’ll stay oblivious, nya.”
Girls really do grow up fast, don’t they…?
“Fuffu…”
On Sunday night, Sayuki was grinning while clutching her smartphone.
Earlier that day, she had gone out shopping for matching accessories with Akane and Moe. On the way back, she happened to run into Haruhiko Hakase at a store they stopped by.
He was with a woman, which made Sayuki hesitate for a moment, but after listening, it turned out to just be his sister and they were shopping together. His sister’s name was Miina, and she gave off a cool, beautiful impression.
Haruhiko was trying on various outfits to fulfill Miina’s requests.
And for some reason, his clothes were slightly disheveled as he struck poses. Even the usually calm Haruhiko seemed to goof around in front of family. Also, the body under his clothes looked quite toned… No, she shouldn’t think about that.
He and Miina appeared to be quite close. Whenever she made selfish demands, he would kindly accept with a gentle “I can’t help it” expression. Those poses were likely part of indulging her whims.
It was fun for Sayuki to see this unexpected side of Haruhiko. And on top of that, there was one more good thing that happened.
Haruhiko: “Well, I’ll let you know once I have my schedule figured out again.”
Sayuki: “Please do, Hakase-san.”
Haruhiko: “Actually, since my first name is the same as my sister’s, would you mind calling me by my given name instead?”
Sayuki: “In that case, Haruhiko-san. Please call me Sayuki as well.”
Haruhiko: “Got it. Well then, good night, Sayuki-chan.”
Sayuki was very grateful to Miina.
Thanks to the promise Miina and Akane made to hang out, Sayuki unintentionally obtained Haruhiko’s…no, Haruhiko’s contact information. And from now on, he would call her “Sayuki-chan.”
She felt a little guilty about it, but for now…
“Nehehe…”
Sayuki spent a while gazing at her smartphone, grateful for the fairy’s blessing.
