"You're playing with a fire, Yuuma."
Haru smiled bitterly, and of course, he knew what Yuuma was thinking. Although it could be called a long and sleepless night, they didn't have sex. Rather, there were things that both of them needed to solve first, but in truth, if he wanted to push her down, he was sure that this girl would accept him.
"Hmph! Who told you to tease me first?"
Yuuma knew that if Haru really pushed her, she would accept him, or rather, she didn't hate the idea of being pushed by him on the bed, but this time, there was a reason why she came to him.
Therefore, when Yuuma rolled her eyes, Haru smiled, and the ambiguous atmosphere between them disappeared. They stopped, played around, and started to talk about business.
"So what should I call you? Yuuma? Or a witch?" Looking at Yuuma, his tone was quite heavy.
"Then how should I call you? Haru? Or is His Majesty the fourth primogenitor?" Without answering his question, Yuuma asked him instead.
The two of them then were in silence for a while, and they were just staring at each other, and neither of them opened their mouths to break the silence. It wasn't until after a while that their eyes showed a smile, and they both opened their mouths and laughed out loud.
Haru looked at Yuuma with a smile and said, "I didn't expect the friend that I'd just made today to be a witch."
With this smile, the tense and solemn atmosphere between them disappeared without a trace. After all, the two weren't enemies, so naturally, it was better to be relaxed with each other.
"That's true. I also didn't expect the friend that I'd just made today to be the fourth primogenitor. With such a strong friend, I don't need to fear anything."
Hearing his relaxed and playful tone, Yuuma also let go of her worries. After all, she thought that he hadn't seen her true intention yet. At best, her identity as a witch had been known, so everything was still under control.
"Even if I'm the fourth primogenitor, it doesn't mean that I'm omnipotent. Or rather, Yuuma, if you mention that you're the daughter of Aya Tokoyogi, no one will cause you trouble, right? After all, your mother is the legendary witch."
"What?!"
Yuuma was dumbfounded, and she never expected Haru to expose her identity directly. Even more unexpectedly, he knew that she was the daughter of Aya Tokoyogi!
Are you kidding me?
The fact that Yuuma was the daughter of Aya Tokoyogo was only known by a few people, and her identity was very well protected, even in the outside world, no one knew her identity as a witch, but how could Haru who stayed on the Itogami island all the time knew everything so clearly?
Yuuma was full of shock, confusion, and perplexity.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Compared to Yuuma's shock and puzzlement, Haru's reaction was calm. He even exposed her with a smile on his face as if trying to tease her.
"How - How did you know?" Her identity had been exposed by Haru, so it was impossible to deny them, but Yuuma couldn't accept it, wondering how her identity had been exposed? After all, it was too amazing, right? She was wondering whether there was a prophet or an oracle that had exposed her identity to him, considering he was so rich and with the power of money, there were a lot of things that he could do.
"I have my own intelligence channel. Not only do I know about your identity, but I also know your purpose in Itogami island. You want to rescue your mother from the legendary prison, right? By using my power, that's."
"........"
Yuuma felt all the power on her body drained, and she knew that everything had been exposed by him, so what could she say now?
The plan hadn't started yet, but it was already over.
Yuuma was sad since she couldn't complete her mission and she couldn't save her mother, but she didn't know why. Knowing that her plan had failed, she felt relief in her heart.
Maybe it was because she knew that she didn't need to use Haru anymore that she felt at ease. After all, when she thought about using him, her heart was full of entanglement and guilt.
Even though it was only a day they met each other, Yuuma felt a strong connection with him, and he also said that he was going to be her friend. If the fact he wasn't the fourth primogenitor, then she would never try to do this!
However, everything was over, so she didn't need to worry about anything anymore.
"It seems that you already know about it. You deserve to be the fourth primogenitor. You're really powerful." Yuuma stared at Haru without looking away. "So what are you going to do now? Are you going to send me to the legendary prison? Or are you going to send me to Island Management so I'll be imprisoned there?"
Although she felt relief, Yuuma was full of bitterness when her identity was exposed. She knew that it was impossible to resist Haru, the fourth primogenitor with her power, and naturally, she didn't intend to resist. She had given up, so she wanted to know what he planned to do with her.
"Why should I do all of that?" Hearing Yuuma's words, Haru looked at her with a smile before he stood up, staring at her face carefully.
"You... what are you looking at?" Perhaps his gaze was too aggressive, Yuuma, who was being stared at by him, took two steps back subconsciously, covering her chest with both of her hands, with a trace of caution in her words, but in reality, she sounded very shy, and there was some eagerness.
"I'm thinking..." Haru looked at Yuuma with a smile and asked, "If I help you to rescue the Witch of the Notaria, how will you repay me?"
"Repay you?" Yuuma was dumbfounded before her face was covered in blush. "Wait! What did you say?" She couldn't react at first, but soon she exclaimed since she heard that Haru was going to help her to save her mother!
"You didn't hear it wrong." Haru smiled, looking at Yuuma's expression since it was too funny. "Should I repeat my words?"
"No! I heard them all, but Haru, why are you..."
Of course, Yuuma wouldn't think that she had misheard everything, but the problem was that she couldn't understand why Haru wanted to help herself. What she wanted to do was invade the legendary prison, which was full of vicious criminals, and save her mother, who was also a criminal. What she was about to do was something that couldn't be praised, especially when she knew what her mother had done was something that could cause her mother to be imprisoned for life.
Yuuma might not have known Haru that long, but she knew that he wasn't someone who would do such an anarchic act, and it was impossible for him to commit a crime, but now he told her that he was going to help her to commit a crime!
"Why? Why do you do this? Why do you want to help me?"
"There's no special reason. But if I have to make a reason, then I can only say that I want to help you, Yuuma. I want to fulfill your wish so that you can confirm your own existence. Although I don't think that saving Aya Tokoyogi can prove anything, as long as it is your wish, I will help you."
There was no hesitation in his words. Everything was coming from his heart since it was his true feeling that he wanted to save this girl. As for Yuuma's mother, it was just his bonus.
"Haru!"
His words pierced her heart, and Yuuma couldn't control her emotion anymore. Leaping into his chest, hugging him tightly while crying, letting go of all of the emotions that had bottled up inside her heart.
Yuuma wasn't a human but a homunculus. She knew this fact from the beginning so she had always wanted to become a real human and she knew that knowing him was the best decision that she had made in her life, not only because she gained a friendship, but because she also knew how it felt to be in love.
Although they only met for a day, each one of his words caused her emotion to become volatile. In the beginning, she was afraid that he might hate her once he knew her identity, and she was afraid that they would become strangers.
Yuuma longed to become a normal human being, so for her, finding the meaning of her birth in this world may prove her existence, and she wasn't just a homunculus, but she was just a normal girl and the person who accepted her everything wasn't Kojou Akatsuki, but Kasugano Haruka.
Before Yuuma met Haru, she made up her mind to come to the Itogami island to save her mother and to prove the meaning of her existence. Although it sounded extreme, she didn't have a way to save her mother, so she could only use Haru. She didn't think much at first, but when they kept communicating with each other, she felt even guiltier, and her heart was suffering since she just felt so close with him as if they had known each other for long.
Yuuma had experienced inner struggles and thought that Haru would never forgive her, but she had never expected that Haru would choose to help her. After knowing everything and knowing that she was about to take advantage of him, he would decide to help her, so how could she not be moved?
"You're not a kid. Why are you crying?" Caressing Yuuma's smooth and fragrant hair, Haru had a gentle smile on his face, and Yuuma just couldn't look away from him. He was willing to help her, so how should she repay him?
