Chapter 79: Unexpected Reward
"Kato, do you have a boyfriend?" Haru asked.
"No," Kato said plainly.
"Why? You"re cute?" Haru was always curious why this girl had a very little presence, "Isn"t there a boy that is trying to confess to you?"
Kato shook her head, "No, most of my cla.s.smates didn"t even notice me."
Haru wasn"t sure how to react in this situation, "Hmm, do you have a crush on someone?"
Kato looked at him for a while.
"W - what?" Haru felt a bit weird when she looked at him.
"No, I don"t have it," Kato said.
"Hmm," Haru nodded.
Kato looked at him and asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"I"ve in the past, but we broke up a few months ago," Haru answered.
"You have?" Kato was a bit surprised by his answer.
Haru nodded, "I have before but I"ve never told Sora, don"t tell her it"s alright."
Kato nodded, "Sure, but why did you tell me this?"
Haru looked at her and smiled, "I don"t know but when I"m with you, I"m very comfortable."
Kato looked at him and asked, "What should I respond in this situation?"
"You don"t need to say anything, being with you is pretty much fun for me," Haru said.
"This is the first time someone has said that talking to me is fun," Kato said.
Haru laughed and started to joke with her.
Both of them talked for a while until Sora came back together with his phone.
"I"m back," Sora said and showed him his phone, "I brought your phone, there are a lot of messages."
"Alright, thank you Sora," Haru said.
Sora looked at Kato, "Megumi, thank you for your help."
Kato nodded, "You don"t need to worry that much, you should call me when something happens again."
"Thank you, Megumi," Sora said and talked with her.
Haru took his phone and started to check it. He saw a lot of phone calls from a lot of people. He answered them one by one and called his editor since she called him, "Machida-San, what"s wrong?"
"Why are you not answering me?" Machida asked.
"I"m in the hospital right now," Haru answered.
"Are you sick?" Machida asked worriedly.
"I"m fine, I only need to stay for a day and can go home tomorrow," Haru answered and asked, "Anyway, is there something?"
"Nothing, I"m just asking you whether you want to enter a radio to talk about your novel, you"ve got an offer there," Machida said. She was his editor and at the same time she also became similar to the manager helping him to talk regarding his book.
Haru had a fair experience talking on the radio to promote his novel before. He thought for a bit and asked, "Why so suddenly?"
"Your novel just became an anime recently, the sales of your novel also increased, and the director wanted to create more sales with this radio offer," Machida said.
Haru wasn"t sure if he was that popular though. He wasn"t an idol but only a novelist. He didn"t hide his face but it was quite rare for people to notice him since he used his gla.s.ses when he was doing an interview. He had also used his pen name rather than his real name. He thought for a while and decided to accept since it also helped the sales of his books, "Alright, when is it?"
"It"s two weeks from now, I"ll go to your hospital right now, where are you?" Machida asked.
Haru told her where he stayed and ended the call. He continued to look at his phone and saw a message from both Utaha and Yuri. He replied to them that he was in his apartment trying to write a novel. He didn"t want to make them worry since he was very healthy. He ended some messages with his friends and opened the group chat. He was very curious about his reward and he was very surprised.
[Congratulations! You have become a reincarnation of Asura Ōtsutsuki]
Haru didn"t expect to get this reward. He remembered that both Uzumaki Naruto and Hashirama Senju were also the reincarnations of Asura Ōtsutsuki. He also understood why he had a lot of energy and became very healthy right now.
He had become the reincarnation of Asura Ōtsutsuki but it didn"t mean that he would become them. He would only get their chakra and some of his power.
"I really need to learn chakra now," Haru was glad that he had gotten this reward. His stamina also increased but he also needed to learn about his control right now. He closed his power and tried to feel the power inside his body. He saw a large amount of energy inside his body. He felt that he could make a bigger zipper since he had become a reincarnation of Asura Ōtsutsuki.
Haru closed his phone for a while since there was still a people here. He talked to both Sora and Kato together until Kato decided to go back.
Kato also told them that she would also come tomorrow to help with his discharge.
Haru and Sora were alone in this room right now. He looked at her and said, "I"m sorry to make you worry." He still remembered her tears before he fainted.
"Don"t do something dangerous again, I don"t want to lose you," Sora looked at him with a serious expression.
"I know I won"t leave you," Haru said.
"Promise?" Sora looked at him with tears.
"Yes," Haru hugged her in his arms.
Sora didn"t push him and stayed in his arms.
Haru hugged her until he heard a soft breath coming from her. He saw her was sleeping. He smiled and brought her to his bed. He wasn"t sure where he should sleep right now. He could sleep beside her but he knew that it would be wrong when people saw it. He wanted to sleep on the sofa but his shirt was pulled.
"Sleep here," Sora said.
Haru twitched his lips when he saw her trying to fool him. He sighed and nodded.
Both of them slept together on the same bed again.
