Chapter 2097 - Asuka: Let"s Ask His Help
Haru brought Asuka and Leticia to the hotel and as they came, they were greeted by everyone immediately, asking what had happened since before he had left, he told them that Asuka was in danger. He didn"t explain and looked at Asuka since he didn"t really know what had happened to her.
Asuka could see Haru"s gaze and nodded, explaining what had happened to her. Still, she felt warm when she saw their worry and thought that this might be something that she had always wanted. She had it now so she would protect it, which was why she had decided to become stronger, but the question was, how?
Asuka looked at Haru and knew that he was the only one who could help her to become stronger so she was going to ask him later.
Hearing Asuka"s explanation, they raised their eyebrows and felt a bit scared, especially girls. They didn"t expect that Asuka would be attacked by tens of thousands of rats which made them dumbfounded.
Fortunately, Haru came and directly used his momentum to make everyone pa.s.s away.
Still, they were curious at how Haru could tell that Asuka was in danger and how he could directly appear beside Asuka.
"It"s a secret," Haru said with a smile.
"......." Looking at this smile, they were wondering how many girls had fallen to this guy.
"Anyway, I want to take a bath first." The experience of being surrounded by tens of thousands of rats made him a bit disgusted, but at the same time, Haru felt that these rats might have something to do with the Demon Lord that would appear on the Salamandra city.
Haru knew that the Demon Lord often appeared from the myth, disaster, or a pandemic that caused a crisis to the world or a human.
There were a lot of rats that suddenly appeared in the city, then this Demon Lord would be related rats.
"Who?"
Haru wasn"t proficient in myth or legend after all so he needed time to confirm who the ident.i.ty of this Demon Lord was.
Hearing Haru"s words, they also thought to go to take a bath.
Izayoi and Jin also joined Haru, which caused some girls to sigh, but they didn"t think too much and the girls also took a bath together.
---
In the changing room, Haru, Izayoi, and Jin were together and they were about to take a bath together. It wasn"t that uncommon for someone to take a bath together even in the Little Garden.
Still, Izayoi and Jin could only twitch their lips when they saw the huge thing between Haru"s legs. They looked at the thing between their legs and sighed.
Haru ignored them and entered the bath after he washed his body. He was often being stared at by a lot of people so he didn"t think too much when he was stared at by Izayoi and Jin.
"Now, I understand why you often wear a disguise," Izayoi said.
"Right?"
Jin could only laugh awkwardly.
"Haru, what do you think of the Demon Lord that will appear in this city?" Izayoi asked.
Haru, who relaxed, didn"t open his eyes and said, "You know, we"ll talk about this matter later after we go out since I"m sure that Shiroyasha will tell us something about it."
"Well, that"s true." Izayoi nodded and also started to relax in the bath. They would have a big fight sooner or later so while they could relax, they should relax.
"Still, you"re good at mythology, right? Izayoi?" Haru asked.
"I can"t say that I"m an expert, but I read a lot of books because of my guardian in the past." If Canaria didn"t tell him to read various mythology books in the past, then Izayoi knew that he would be clueless in this world. "So did you find out something?"
"Rats."
"Rats?"
"Yeah, I wonder whether there"s a myth that is related to rats," Haru said.
"There"s a lot of them, you know?" Izayoi said helplessly since there were so many legends that were related to rats.
"Still, most of them are minor legends or not famous, right? You should ignore those since the Demon Lord won"t be born from such a minor or not famous legends," Haru said simply.
"Hmm...." Izayoi tried to think, but with how limited the information they had, it was quite hard to think who had caused this matter.
"Kasugano-san, do you have an idea?" Jin suddenly asked.
"Oh? Why do you think so?" Haru asked.
"You... you seem so calm." Jin couldn"t help but say. After all, if someone in the Little Garden heard about the Demon Lord, they would be panicked, but Haru was so calm which made him wonder whether Haru knew about the ident.i.ty of the Demon Lord.
Haru had some ideas, but he wasn"t sure until he saw the Demon Lord first. He didn"t want to jump to a conclusion after all, so it was better not to say anything until later. "No."
".............." Jin.
"Still, as long as the Demon Lord appears, our job is just to beat the s.h.i.t out of the Demon Lord, right?" Haru said with a smile.
"That"s right!" Izayoi answered with a laugh.
".............." Jin was speechless, and could only laugh awkwardly since unlike them, he couldn"t treat the Demon Lord lightly. However, it seemed that Haru could read his mind.
"Calm down, Jin. Thinking too much won"t solve anything. As a leader, you should calm down and not let your emotions lead you," Haru said calmly. After the end of his quest, he would return to the position of leader of Jin since he felt that this guy was the most suitable one so he wanted him to grow up a bit.
"Ah, yes, Kasugano-san!" Jin quickly nodded and sighed, thinking that he was still immature. Luckily, there was Haru beside him or else, he might be at a loss for what to do.
However, Izayoi raised his eyebrow when he heard Haru"s words, but then he shook his head and decided not to think too much.
The three of them then enjoyed the bath together and relaxed since it was rare for them to be able to do this.
Still, they had to admit that the girls" side was quite noisy, so Haru quickly used his magic to make the sound around them became mute. After all, he felt that the conversation on the girls" side had was a bit too much to be known by Jin and Izayoi, right?
