章 80: Nature Has Called Upon the Hero of Justice
The events after went out smoothly.
Before the party departed on their journey, Haruto paid a visit to the imperial castle regarding the recent case.
He was accompanied by Rikka and Asami during the audience with Zelrigth the Emperor. It was not only for helping him who still recuperating but also to meet the one heavily involved with their situation more than a week ago.
Unexpected for Haruto it seemed like the two girls did not harbor that much grudge against Zelrigth. The reason for that was because it was his decision that let them met with Haruto again so it's not like the entire incident had caused them grief.
Though they didn't deny Zelrigth also let the two of them be for an entire week just to see about Asami's ability, this was the only thing made them dissatisfied.
In the end Zelrigth expressed his apology by saying "My bad", as expected, being glared coldly by two super beauties made him feel bad. He also owe a debt for Haruto's group for the Yomi's case so apologizing was not that big of a deal.
For the reward he bestowed some money and the right to enter the Inner District section all they want along with a new mansion. They can move and lived there if they wanted to.
Haruto happily accepted because if Lena stay inside the Inner District it would increase her safety as the public order and security there was the best of the best.
In regards to that Haruto also ask for Zelrigth to take care of Lena during his absence. He even bowed himself low in order to show his sincerity. The others there including Zelrigth was very surprised when they saw he did this.
They just didn't know how much impact Lena and his child almost beyond saving to Haruto's heart. He was very concerned of their well being now.
Zelrigtu nodded sensing his feelings and thought. He could understand how he feel as he too once did a similar thing for the sake of his late wife, Luminette's mother.
A lot of men was ready to discard their pride and dignity for the sake of their lives, few were capable of maintaining their pride. But even so those who could discard pride for the sake of other people was even fewer. Some of them preferred to just discard the people around them just for a mere pride.
For Zelrigth, a man like Haruto was the true man worth respecting. Man who could tell what is more important compared to their pride and dignity. If it's just pride, then you can pick it up again later as long as you did not forget the most important thing.
He also responded sincerely by swearing upon his name to make sure Lena will he safe as his respect.
When Lena knew about this she was so touched with teary eyes as she felt a huge joy and warm inside her heart. She was very glad on her decision to choose him and swore to be on his side as long as she live.
And so their departure was a little late on afternoon to help moving their house to the Inner District.
....
Four days have passed since they departed from the capital and now were inside an improved carriage powered by magic stones learnt from capital made by Elsie.
They passed by a green plains with the sky fully blue and bright. Birds were flying happily making joyous melody with their chirps.
"Fuh..."
A single boy among girls there casually swiped his hair full of elegance as if he was a male character from shoujo manga.
"Even the weather today blessed this esteemed self on his journey..."
So he said with a face as if the world being on his side was a natural thing. His black eyes were shining brightly radiating an air of unexcelled confidence.
The other girls were making an awkward face while blushing red with embarrassment. They were speechless from the only male on their party's antics ever since he woke up this morning.
Only Asami who already laughing hard, desperately holding his painful stomach from her unending laugh.
"....Amazing, it's been so long ever since Haru acted like this, Hahahahahaha, my stomach!!!"
She pounded her fist while still laughing with teary eyes on the ground.
"A-Asami-san...."
Rikka felt perplexed by Asami's reaction as if she was experiencing a very nostalgic thing. She might not know but Asami who lived with him for a long time was fully informed of Haruto's 'sickness' ever since he was a kid until his early middle school.
It was thanks to meeting Rikka and falling in love with her that he begin to make improvement before finally graduating on the sickness often found on otakus at his age. Haruto perfectly concealed that part of him for the sake of not wanting to ruin his image in front of his crush.
How many times when Asami came home years ago to have Haruto ambushed her while introducing himself as the lord of darkness with fake eyepatch on one of his eye. There's also a lot of other things too but those were another story for later time.
"Oh dear sister, I know you are proud of having the best brother in the world but your singing praise will make this esteemed self feel embarrassed."
Haruto sighed with face full of contentment that did not match with his statement. At this point he of course did not pay attention to the fact Asami was laughing at him not praising him.
"You girls too, I know you all love me very much like a girl and a shortcake but having your face red everytime you look at this esteemed self is troubling because I don't know which one should I give lots of love first." He snapped his fingers, pointing to the other girls.
The other girls keep their silence as they didn't know what to say for Haruto's current self. Some of them were pitying him while the others were perplexed such as Rikka and Kaori.
Yes, Haruto had just recovered from his pre-Growth state and now was fully reborn, entering his post-Growth state.
The one pitying him was concerned for his mentality when he returned back to normal like Fia and Selianna as the faction whom very experienced with Growth.
For some reason he's not forceful for kissing and sexually harassing them like the last time he underwent Growth. Perhaps his recent trauma on Lena's case had unconsciously put on a limiter on his post-Growth state. But that didn't change how different his personality became. It's just a matter of him not being as forceful as before. It was a different story altogether if they themselves let him to.
They knew that if they've shown even a tiny bit of gap, Haruto would turned into a wolf and gladly devour them as if they were a delicious lamb. That's why they kept their guard up to make sure the slumbering beast was not awakened.
They decided to endure until he return back to normal sooner or later. Fia and Selianna secretly make sure to cheer him up when the time comes.
The carriage continue to pass down the road with a very awkward atmosphere on the inside.
They passed through a small river when suddenly a sound of someone's screaming could be heard from the other side of the river.
"Help!! Monsters are attacking our village!!"
There's a few middle aged women and children running while asking for help with desperate face.
And to that kind of people, Haruto-sama was...
"Fuh... Looks like nature has called upon the hero of justice..."
While shaking his head as if it couldn't be helped. The mask he's not wearing for more than two weeks from who knows where was on his hand.
As a side note, Elsie did not make that mask.
