Chapter 24: House
It has been two days since the incident in the bathroom.
Neither of them said anything regarding the matter and decided to keep it secret since it might cause trouble in their relationship.
The relationship between Haru and Megumi was only a normal friend in his eyes, but it might be different in Megumi's eyes.
Haru didn't know about it and even if he knew he didn't have an intention to date, someone, for a while.
But somehow after that incident, Haru felt that Megumi kept glancing at his pants quietly when he was looking away or when he was looking at his smartphone. He thought that it was an illusion and didn't think too much since he didn't think that Megumi was a pervert, right?
Megumi couldn't forget the incident which happened two days ago. She had come to study together with Sora again for the past two days. Her expression had always been blank, and it was her method to hide her bashfulness remembering the incident in the bathroom and the anaconda was hiding inside his pants. She wanted to see it again, but she knew that it was very hard to do that.
Haru didn't know what Megumi was thinking and didn't think too much either. He hadn't gone to Yuri Nakamura for the past two days since he was waiting for his aunt to help him buy that haunted house.
Haru and his aunt had made an appointment to meet at the coffee shop and went to meet with the property agent together after that. He wanted to seal the deal before he visited Yuri since he didn't want the change of the house to change after the ghosts on the house had disappeared.

Waiting at the coffee shop while drinking an americano, Haru could see a lot of cute girls who kept glancing at him. He wanted to change his table and greeted his target, but when he remembered his aunt,
".........."
Haru sighed since that woman was too violent when she saw him flirting with a girl. Looking at the window, he saw a red Mazda RX-5 parked in front of the coffee shop, and a beautiful woman in a suit came out from that car.
That woman entered the coffee shop and looked around until she found Haru who was drinking his coffee leisurely.
"Haru!"
Calling his name, the woman walked toward him.
"Aunt."
The woman frowned and moved very fast toward him before hitting his head.
"Don't call me an aunt! Call me Shizuka-nee!"
Caressing his head, Haru twitched his lips and said, "Alright, Shizuka-nee." Smiling, he asked, "Do you want to order something? I'll treat you."
Haru felt that her punch was quite painful. He shook his head and said, "Alright, Shizuka-Nee, do you want to order something? I will treat you."
Sitting on the chair opposite of him, Shizuka nodded and said, "Yes, get me the same americano as you."
Shizuka Hiratsuka is his father's little sister. She is a high school teacher in Chiba. She is a fairly tall and busty woman with long, black hair that reaches her shins, sticks out at her neck, and falls over her shoulders and purple eyes.
Haru ordered an americano and some sandwiches for both of them.
They didn't go to meet with the property agent immediately but talked to each other for a while since it had been a while for both of them to meet each other.
"What's wrong with your school? Isn't the high school in Chiba quite good?" Haru asked.
Shizuka nodded and said, "Yeah, but I just want to change schools." Waving her hand, she said, "Anyway, let's talk about your matter." She raised her eyebrow and asked, "you want to buy a house right?"
"Yeah, help me to become my guarantor."
"Why do you want to buy a house? Do you want to move from your apartment?" Shizuka asked.
Haru shook his head and said, "No, I want to open a cafe."
"Cafe? Are you sure?" Shizuka asked. She didn't mind if her nephew wanted to open a cafe, but she knew that it would be quite hard.
"Yes, I have a friend that teaches me about cafe management and cooking," Haru answered.
Shizuka nodded and said, "Well, I won't stop you from opening a cafe or something." She looked at him and asked, "How is Sora?"
"She is good. She is in the apartment now, probably studying," Haru answered.
Shizuka raised her eyebrow and asked, "You don't touch her right?"
"What?"
Haru had a dumbfounded expression.
"You didn't cross the line right?" Shizuka asked.
"What do you mean?"
Haru was speechless when he heard this question. He thought this woman was a bit crazy since she had been single for a long time.
"It seems, you're not," Shizuka sighed in relief.
"Of course not! What do you think of me?" Haru felt insulted.
"Hey, don't be angry. Let's go to the property agency," Shizuka said.
Haru snorted at this woman and asked, "Have you found a husband?"
Shizuka suddenly became gloomy when she heard this question.
"Shut up! Don't mention this kind of thing to me again!"
Haru felt quite happy when he saw her expression. He decided to praise her and said, "Anyway, you're beautiful. If you fix your personality, I'm sure a lot of men will be interested in you."
Shizuka snorted and said, "I won't accept anyone who can't accept the real me!"
"Well, that's true. I won't give my older sister to a man who won't even see the real you," Haru said with a serious expression.
Shizuka smiled and said, "You really know how to make me happy."
"If you can't meet the right person, how about marrying me?" Haru joked.
Shizuka snorted and said, "Hmph, you're still a brat! I bet that you haven't grown your pubic hair!"
Haru didn't get angry and said, "If you're patient then I can grow older in a few years. I'll make you happy."
Shizuka snorted and flicked his forehead, "Don't joke around, let's go." She knew very well that her nephew was joking, but still, it made her heart pounding very fast.
"Sure."
Haru nodded.
Both of them went out of the coffee shop and entered her car.
Everyone in the coffee shop who heard their conversation was wondering whether Haru and Shizuka had a relationship with each other. But for the women in the coffee shop, they were very jealous of Shizuka since she was able to search for such a handsome young man to marry.
If Haru and Shizuka knew what they were thinking then both of them would be speechless and weren't sure how to react.
---
After coming to the property agency office, Haru and Shizuka finished the transaction quickly. Then she also wanted to see the house since she had heard that the house which was bought by Haru was haunted.
But when Shizuka came, she was a bit taken aback since she felt goosebumps on her entire body. She didn't understand why her nephew wanted to buy this house. Even though it was cheap, it was useless when it was haunted.
"You don't need to think too much."
Haru didn't explain to Hiratsuka that he was alright with the ghosts inside the house. Now all of the transaction was cleared and he had become the owner of that haunted house.
'Now, I should search for the older sister.'
To help the three children ghosts to not have regrets in this life, Haru needed to get their older sister to meet with each other.
