Chapter 1587: Can we talk tonight?
When Haru saw the one who had called him, he could somehow guess what Edward was about to say to him. He took a deep breath then accepted the call but...
"Hey, hey! Haru, did you miss me? Ugh, after I have tasted your foods, all the things that I have tasted taste bland, you need to take responsibility!"
"...I will close the call."
Haru didn't hesitate and shuddered when he heard the word "responsible" from Edward's mouth. He didn't mind taking responsibility for Angela, but it was a different matter for Edward since this guy was a male.
"Wait a minute! Don't close the call!"
Haru took a deep breath and said, "Edward, I can probably tell what you're about to say to me and the reason why you have decided to call me."
"Oh? Really? What is it?"
"There should be a problem with the meeting for my promotion to S Rank Savior, right?" Haru said since he knew that there was no other reason than this for Edward to call him and he knew very well that it wouldn't be so easy for him to become S Rank Savior.
If Haru really became S Rank Savior, then he was sure that his brother-in-law (Tadanori Urushibara) would be the first one who had congratulated him, but his brother-in-law didn't say anything nor he called him so he could tell that there was a problem with the meeting.
"Well, you're really not fun, I want to surprise you, though."
"...I don't think that the failure of the meeting can be counted as a surprise occasion, though." Haru massaged his temple and asked, "Who has caused the trouble?"
"It's the head of the Russian Branch," Edward said and didn't hide anything. "In the previous meeting of the Six Heads, Andou and I have shown evidence that your strength is enough to become an S Rank Savior, but "Thunder Empress," said that it wasn't enough and caused trouble."
"I see..."
Haru rubbed his chin and thought that he should meet this "Thunder Empress" in the future. He had heard that this woman was beautiful and somehow he wanted to slap her butts for causing him trouble.
"So is there something that I need to do?"
"Fortunately, you don't need to do anything since your promotion is inevitable, no one can stop your promotion, especially with that strength of yours," Edward said.
"Thank you." Haru smiled and said, "If you come to my house, I will treat you to something good."
"Yahoo! Cooks a lot of food for me! If possible, can you get me a good wine? The last dinner was good but without wine...." Edward couldn't help but sigh when he thought that he couldn't drink wine when he was at Haru's home before.
"I am a minor."
"Who cares about that? You're going to be one of the seven S Rank Saviors in the world, who will catch you because you drink alcohol?"
"......."
"Is that all?"
"Well, I am envious of you that you're on vacation with your beautiful girlfriends and here I am busy with the meeting." Edward cried, but from his voice, everyone could tell that this guy was fooling around, when it ended, he asked, "By the way, how many are your girlfriends?"
Haru then closed the call without hesitation.
"What's wrong, Haru? Is there a problem?" Jeanne asked.
Maya, Shizuno, Satsuki, Tokiko, Jin, Haruka, and some of the members of the Strikers were curious since they knew that it was only a time that Haru would be promoted to the S Rank Savior and they wondered whether there was a problem with his promotion since they could hear the conversation between Haru and Edward didn't seem that good.
"It's nothing." Haru shook his head and said, "I should be promoted to the S Rank Savior soon, but someone has tried to cause trouble."
"Who?" Satsuki asked with a frown, wondering who had caused trouble for Haru. If she saw someone who had caused him trouble then she was going to... she was going to... well, she was going to make the one that had caused him trouble to realize his/her mistake!
"Thunder Empress." Haru smiled at Satsuki and asked, "Are you going to beat her up for me?"
"Of course! I am going to beat this Thunder Empress!" Satsuki said without hesitation but...
"......"
Everyone was looking at Satsuki, but then they pretended like they didn't know her since this girl was too stupid, right?
"Satsuki..." Shizuno felt helpless at Satsuki.
"What's wrong?" Satsuki felt a bit displeased when everyone was looking at her with a weird gaze.
"Satsuki-oneechan, you can't do that, Maya has heard from Mari-oneechan that the Thunder Empress is a very scary person," Maya said panicked.
Shizuno lowered her head and held her arm nervously. "It is my fault... if my older brother didn't help you to promote you to..." But before she ended her words, she was hugged.
"You don't need to worry. Just the Thunder Empress is nothing to me and you should also that it isn't anyone's fault, if you need to blame someone then blame me since I have provoked a lot of people," Haru said.
"No, it isn't your fault, but no matter what, I will be by your side, Haru," Shizuno said then stared at Haru's eyes, wanted to kiss him, but...
"Hey, don't leave me!" Jeanne also hugged Haru.
Haru smiled and also hugged Jeanne. He felt that it was good that both girls could understand each other and at the same time, he was wondering whether he could bring them together in the future.
"........"
Everyone was looking at both of them with bitterness, especially the guys since Haru's love life was too enviable, right?
The girls also felt envious since it wasn't a secret that some of them were falling for Haru.
"Let me join too!" Tokiko then jumped toward them without hesitation.
"......"
Haru, Shizuno, and Jeanne looked at Tokiko and couldn't help but show a helpless expression.
When the number of the girls increased to three, everyone became dumbfounded, but then there was a savior who saved this complicated situation.
"Cough! Cough! What are you doing here? Go and train, or I might personally teach you!" Jin roared.
Everyone quickly ran away since they knew how strict Jin was.
Shizuno, Jeanne, and Tokiko also continued with their training, and Haru was also about to do the same, but someone stopped him.
"Satsuki?"
"Ha - Haru..." Satsuki was flustered, but then she made up her mind and said, "Can - Can we talk alone tonight?"
Haru was surprised, but he nodded without hesitation. "Yes."
When Haru and his group continued with their training, Mari also arrived at the headquarters of the Japanese Division of White Knight Order and she was personally picked up by Andou. Her reason for coming was because Andou invited her to come with him to the headquarters of the British Division and told her to use her teleportation to send them there tomorrow.
Mari agreed, then both of them talked to each other and she heard some disturbing information from Andou that all of A-Rank Saviors and B Rank Saviors were being gathered in Tokyo, but she didn't think too much and only hoped nothing would happen in this country.
