Chapter 1320: Direct
After they entered the room, Haru went to the bathroom to take a shower for a while. He took a deep breath and let the warm water flow over his body. He had to admit that his life during three months in the jungle wasn't that bad since he brought a quite luxurious tent but compared to a real hotel room, there was still some difference and the feeling of staying inside a building was different from the feeling when someone stayed in nature.
Haru rubbed his face and missed the people in his original world, but then he slapped both of his cheeks since he was going home soon. He took a towel and dried his body while wondering why he didn't ask Charlotte to go with him.
When Haru came out from the bathroom, Charlotte was eating a snack while reading a manga in this world. She looked at him for a while and nodded, thinking that his body was really addictive.
Haru looked around and asked, "Where's Shinobu?"
Charlotte smiled and said, "She's outside, trying to give us some private time."
"..."
It wasn't something secret that Haru and Charlotte often went out together alone to do the most primitive human entertainment.
Charlotte sat cross-legged and said, "We're going to go home soon. You should do something about Shinobu."
"Sorry." It was the only word that came out of his mouth.
Charlotte shook her head and said, "Don't be." She smiled before standing up and hugging his body. "I am happy that we can be together now and I don't care whether you have one, two, or a dozen women beside me as long as there is me inside your heart." She pointed her finger at his heart while smiling at him.
Haru kissed Charlotte's lips and hugged her petite body gently.
Charlotte also hugged him and snuggled into his neck.
Both of them stayed in comfortable silence for a few minutes before that silence was broken by Charlotte.
"Before you meet Shinobu, do you want me to help you first?" Charlotte asked since she could feel something hard touching her stomach.
"..."
"Sigh....."
Shinobu let out a long sigh while watching the starry night. She didn't stay in the room and decided to take fresh air outside.
On Heaven's Arena, there was an open spot where the guests could enjoy the scenery of town, sky, stars, etc on each of the floors.
Shinobu was on the 198th floors and she had to admit that the scenery in this place was beautiful. It was also her first time to be in such a high place since the tallest place that she had ever been in her world was in the mountains.
However, even if the mountain was very tall, it gave off a different kind of scenery from a skyscraper.
Shinobu had to admit that this scenery was beautiful, but she felt quite lonely at that moment and she wanted someone beside her.
'If only I'm brave...'
Shinobu knew that Charlotte had succeeded in seducing Haru, but she didn't have that kind of courage. She was a girl after all and there was no way she would be the one who confessed, but at the same time, she became annoyed when that guy didn't even think about her feelings.
"That bastard!!!"
Shinobu screamed out loud, fortunately, no one seemed to hear her since she was alone in this place.
"Who is the bastard in your mouth?"
Shinobu was startled, but then she quickly relaxed since she knew very well whose voice it was. She turned her head toward him and asked, "What's wrong? You're being kicked out by Charlotte?"
"....."
Haru stared at Shinobu and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
"I am not angry!" Shinobu denied it immediately and looked away. When she looked at him, she couldn't help but feel agitated and at the same time, she also regretted saying such a thing to him before.
"Shinobu, do you like me?" Haru asked directly.
"What?!" Shinobu was startled since he asked this question so abruptly. Her face was red and the cold wind couldn't cool down the temperature on her body since she felt quite sweaty at that moment, but then she calmed herself and smiled, looking at him. "What do you think? Do you think I like you?"
"....."
"I'm not sure and that's why I'm asking you this question," Haru said.
"...."
Shinobu was a bit stunned since she didn't expect this answer. She thought for a while and asked, "How about you? Do you like me?"
"I love you, Shinobu," Haru said without hesitation.
"...."
Shinobu bit her lips and felt very happy, but she couldn't accept it so quickly. "It is so easy for you to say that."
"It's not easy." Haru shook his head and said, "If it was so easy then I have confessed to you directly in the past."
"Why now?" Shinobu asked. It was a question that she wanted to ask. She clearly knew that this hateful guy had realized her feelings, but he kept ignoring it or he might not have an interest in her. She was confused as to why he decided to confess to her at that moment.
"Because there's no better time than now." Haru had to admit that he was a scumbag, but he would treat his girls dearly and during his stay with the Penguin and Beauty Salon PRINCE, he knew that he couldn't stay passive any longer and he needed to be assertive.
Haru loved Shinobu and he wanted her, that's all.
It was so simple and he realized right now.
Haru didn't have time before since he was quite busy with the matter in his world so now was the perfect time for him to confess.
"...."
Both of them were in silence for a while, but that silence was broken by him after he took a deep breath softly and asked her a question, "So what do you think?"
Shinobu didn't answer him immediately, but she noticed his hand which slightly showed a nervousness which made her chuckle.
"..."
Haru twitched his lips when this girl suddenly chuckled and he suddenly realized the feeling of a student who confessed his love to their loved one behind the school building.
"So you can even get nervous when you confess to a girl?" Shinobu looked at Haru with a bright smile.
"Is it something funny? I am trying my best here, trying to tell you that I love you, Shinobu," Haru said with a helpless expression.
Shinobu turned blush once again when she heard those words from Haru's words. She looked at him and asked, "Can you confess to me again?"
"....Again?"
"Yes." Shinobu nodded and said, "Try to confess to me again."
"...."
Haru took a deep breath and calmed himself then quickly said, "Shinobu, I know this is a bit abrupt, but I want to say that... I love you... I love you so dearly, Shinobu."
Shinobu felt her face was very hot, but she kept staring at this hateful guy. "Do it again! Try to confess to me again!"
"....You know this isn't a concert, you can't ask for an encore," Haru said.
"Please.. just once more..." Shinobu looked at Haru with a cute expression.
Haru sighed and felt helpless. He nodded and thought about how to confess to this girl. He knew that this was the last or else...
"Cough! Cough!"
Haru took a deep breath and shouted, "EVERYONE PLEASE HEAR ME!!!!"
"....."
Shinobu was shocked when this guy suddenly shocked, but she was even more surprised when she could see that everyone on the Heaven's Arena seemed to hear his voice.
Gon and Killua who happened to be in their room were also surprised when they heard this familiar voice.
They quickly came out to see what had happened.
"That's Kasugano-kun," Gon said.
"Really? What is he doing?" Killua asked.
"I'm not sure," Gon said.
Gon and Killua then became curious about what Haru was about to say at that moment.
Not only Gon and Killua, but Charlotte, Hisoka, Zushi, Wing, and a lot of people heard Haru's voice since Haru hacked the Heaven's Arena directly so that everyone could hear his voice.
"..."
Shinobu's calm expression had broken, but she was also curious what this guy was about to do.
"Listen up well, you louts!! I'm Kasugano Haruka, a fighter that has just reached 200th floors and I have something to say to Kocho Shinobu, a fighter who also has just reached 200th floors too....." Haru took a deep breath and shouted, "I love you, Shinobu!!!"
"...."
Everyone was stunned for a while, even the people in the city were also stunned since it was their first time to hear and see such a confession.
"Shinobu, I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!!!!"
Haru took a deep breath once again and shouted, "I love you, Shinobu! I will say it several times! I want to hold your hand and walk to the beach with you! I want to see you in that kimono again! I love your beautiful nape! I want to hold you tight, and I want to kiss you too!!!
"In short, I super-duper-ultra-giga love you, Shinobu!!!"
Haru shouted out all of his might without hesitation. He was in another world after all and he didn't care about his reputation in this place.
"...."
Shinobu was stunned there, but of course, she was very happy at that moment.
A lot of people couldn't help but join the fun and cheer for both of them while also teasing them since it was rare to see such an event!
Gon and Killua were also full of surprises, but their expressions were also grinning and smiled when they saw Haru dared to confess Shinobu in front of everyone in this town.
Hisoka was also in shock, but he also smiled since it was rare for him to see such a thing.
Love was a magical thing and Haru knew that the best.
Haru stared at Shinobu and asked, "Do you want me to confess to you again?"
Shinobu felt a bit embarrassed and her face was red, but she was very happy at this moment. "No, I have enough."
"So?"
"Hmm?"
"You haven't said anything for a while." Haru stared at Shinobu and asked, "So what's your feeling for me?"
"....."
Everyone turned quiet and they were waiting for Shinobu to say something.
Shinobu blushed and asked, "D - Do I have to say it here?"
"Of course, I dare to confess to you in front of everyone, what about you?" Haru asked.
Shinobu was shy, but she nodded then shouted, "I love you too, Haru! I love you! I love you! I love you!!!!" She then stared at him and said, "I know that you scumbag! You can't keep your dick! You're always flirting with another girl..."
"..."
"But I love you! I want you to hold my hand! I want you to hug me! I want you to look at me! I want you to kiss me! And I want you to love me!"
Shinobu smiled and shouted, "I super-duper-ultra-giga love you, Haru!"
Haru didn't hesitate and hugged Shinobu directly then kissed her tender lips.
Shinobu also did the same and hugged him tightly, afraid everything was just a dream.
Haru then quickly set out a group of fireworks to the sky since, without it, his confession would be bland. He was glad that he had confessed to her, but then, he knew that Charlotte might want him to confess to her again later.
