Chapter 1773: It is a fair bet, right?
"The winner Rokkaku Haruka!" Mari announced the result of the battle, and somehow everyone was also in shock.
During the mock battle between Erika and Hattori, everyone's reaction was quite surprising. Still, they weren't that much surprised, considering that Erika was coming from the Chiba family, which was famous for their swordsmanship, so even though Erika had won, some people had guessed it already, but as for the mock battle between Haru and Tatsuya, they had to admit that they were surprised.
In truth, when they heard that Miyuki was going to propose to her big brother as a member of the Moral Committee, they thought that Tatsuya would have a special skill, or instead, Miyuki had told them that he had trained under Kokonoe Yakuma, who was the legendary ninjutsu user so they thought that Tatsuya might have one or two skills that he was confident with...
"Onii-sama!" Miyuki quickly ran toward Tatsuya, and her face was full of worry.
"You don't need to worry. He's only light-headed," Haru said simply.
"Ugh..." Tatsuya held his head and frowned. "Don't worry, I'm fine, Miyuki."
Hearing Tatsuya's words, Miyuki let out a sigh of relief, but she knew that the moment Tatsuya had lost that meant...
Miyuki looked at Haru and showed a complex emotion. After all, she knew about Tatsuya's physical ability and skill, even matched Kokonoe Yakumo himself, and Kokonoe even needed to use magic so he could defeat her brother. Still, Haru could take down her older brother so easily.
Mari then looked at Mayumi and could only shake her head.
Mayumi could only show a bitter smile since, without an ability, nothing could be talked about.
"Well, Erika, you will be a member of the Moral Committee from now on. Is that alright with you?" Mari asked.
"Yeah." Erika nodded simply and didn't show sympathy toward Tatsuya. After all, he was the one who provoked Haru.
Hattori somehow felt better when he saw that Tatsuya lose since this way, they didn't lose the face of the student council.
"I'm sorry, Tatsuya-kun, with the agreement that we have made before, we can't put you into the member of the Moral Committee," Mayumi said in an apologetic tone.
"But that's..." Miyuki wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
"It's alright. I know my ability isn't par with the requirement of the Moral Committee," Tatsuya said calmly, and there was no disappointment in his words, but if someone observed him closely, there was some bitterness in his eyes. If he had lost on the magic, then he wouldn't say much, but he had lost on the physical ability that he had confidence with, which made him that his confidence was hit.
Tatsuya still rested on the ground while rubbing his temple since he felt that he had lost something, but...
'Was it my imagination?'
Tatsuya didn't think too much and thought what had happened before was because of Haru's sudden attack, which made him a bit light-headed.
"Onii-sama..." Miyuki wasn't sure what to say in this situation.
Haru didn't say anything. After all, he was the winner. Everything that he told the loser would only be heard as sarcasm. He then sat next to Suzune and didn't say much.
Suzune looked at Haru and asked, "Is that a physical ability before?"
"Um." Haru nodded and said, "I didn't use magic before."
"....."
"Why didn't you use magic?" Mari asked.
"Well, because I don't need to," Haru said simply.
"..."
Haru knew that everyone wasn't satisfied with this answer, so he said, "Using magic isn't the only way for a magician to fight. Using other means is also important too, right?"
They nodded and decided to accept this answer. After all, there was no way to press him that way.
"Well, since it has ended, then I'll go back now," Haru said since he didn't want to go back now.
"Eh? Going back? How can you say that? You need to familiarize yourself with the student council's work first!" Mayumi was the first one who rejected Haru's idea to go back first. "Come on! Let's go to the student council room!" She then pulled Haru's hand and walked directly toward the student council room.
"Erika, come on. Let's go to the Moral Committee's room," Mari said.
"Un." Erika nodded, then looked at Tatsuya." Tatsuya, I'll go first."
"Yes." Tatsuya nodded.
Then one by one, everyone started to leave, leaving only Tatsuya and Miyuki.
"Miyuki, you should go first," Tatsuya said calmly, but inwardly, he didn't expect the taste of losing would be so bitter. He might still have an emotion, but he wasn't that much different from a machine, but in the end, he was still a teenager. He had a shared experience in fighting and war, so when he lost against someone in his peers, he just felt very bitter right now.
"Onii-sama..." Miyuki really couldn't say anything right now.
"Just leave me alone for a moment," Tatsuya said.
Miyuki showed a sad expression, but in the end, she did what Tatsuya asked him. She bowed her head slightly then said, "Then I'll be in the student council room first, Onii-sama."
Tatsuya nodded and thought about how he had lost while thinking about a countermeasure since he realized the taste of losing was terrible.
Haru was in the student council room and was taught by Mayumi, Suzune, and Azusa about the student council's job. In truth, he wanted to run away right now since he didn't want to do a troublesome job, but the three girls wouldn't let him go.
"It seems that inviting you here is a great idea," Mayumi said with a smile.
"Can you do this part too, Haru?" Suzune asked.
"Haru, can you help me pick that up?" Azusa asked.
Haru was wondering why he had become an assistant right now? But then, when he was helping, suddenly Mayumi asked, "Say, Haru, what kind of request are you going to ask Miyuki-san?"
"..."
Suddenly the room became quiet when Mayumi asked this question, even Suzune and Azusa also looked at Haru at the same time.
"Huh? I was just joking. I won't ask anything," Haru said.
"Really?" Suzune asked doubtfully. After all, based on his personality, she felt that Haru would ask Miyuki something.
"Um." Haru nodded and said, "Please believe in me, Suzune-senpai."
Suzune only stared at Haru, then nodded.
"...." Mayumi and Azusa looked at the interaction between Haru and Suzune in doubt, but then the door opened, and Miyuki entered the room.
"I'm sorry for being late." Miyuki bowed her head slightly.
"It's alright. How is your brother?" Mayumi asked casually.
"He should be alright, but he felt quite frustrated by his loss," Miyuki said.
"I see...." Mayumi raised her eyebrows, but didn't say much, or rather, she felt that the result of the battle was quite obvious, after all, Tatsuya was one of the worst students in the school and Haru was the best student, so the result of the mock battle was quite obvious, right?
"So Haru, as we have agreed before, do you have a request that you want to ask me?" Miyuki asked while looking at Haru.
Haru raised his eyebrow and said, "No, I was joking before."
"No, I have lost, so please tell me what kind of request that you want to ask me," Miyuki said while staring at Haru with piercing eyes, and somehow there was ice that started to emit from her body.
"Is it only me, or does it feel cold suddenly?" Azusa asked.
"No, I also feel cold." Haru looked at Miyuki and asked, "So I can ask you a request?"
Miyuki nodded and said, "Yes, it is a fair bet, after all."
Haru wasn't sure whether it was a fair bet or not, but since Miyuki had decided to play like that, then he wouldn't hold back. "Then can I ask anything?"
"Yes." Miyuki nodded.
"...." Mayumi, Suzune, and Azusa.
Suzune sighed and said, "Miyuki-san, you should change your words or else, this guy might ask you a perverted request."
Miyuki was stunned, but then she blushed before shaking her head. "No, I believe that he won't ask for such a request." After all, Haru was her aunt's lover, so she didn't think that he would ask a perverted request.
"....." Haru felt guilty somehow. He thought for a bit then said, "Then when you talk to me, you need to add "-nyaa" at the end of the words."
"..." Mayumi, Suzune, Azusa, and Miyuki.
"Nyaa?"
"Can you?" Haru asked.
"Wh - what do you mean by that request?!" Miyuki was so embarrassed at that moment.
"I won't force you if you don't want to, though," Haru said simply.
"..........."
Miyuki kept staring at Haru, then let out a long sigh and gave up. "Nyaa..." The moment she said "-nyaa," there was a lovely aura around her, and her blushing face was so cute.
"..." Somehow Mayumi, Suzune, and Azusa felt that they might be able to fall for the same gender somehow.
Haru nodded, and somehow he was pretty satisfied with his reward, but somehow he needed to do something about the stares that he felt at that moment.
