Chapter 1278 Reality
Haru, Seri, and Ritsu kept talking about business for a while and also brought Ayase and the executive of Longinus Bank along with Haru's think tank to have another meeting.
The bigger Haru's business was, the more impossible it was for him to manage the business by himself.
In truth, it was possible, but he would lose his time with his girlfriends and he didn't want that.
In this meeting, they were talking about the next target of their hunt, after long and countless calculations and research.
Haru gave them a direction then his team was the one who did all the work.
Then the meeting ended after two hours before everyone returned to do their own jobs, leaving Haru, Seri, and Ritsu.
The three of them didn't stay too long in the meeting room and returned to Haru's office.
"I am starving, do you want to eat something?" Haru asked.
Ritsu nodded then stood up. She walked toward Haru then squatted in front of him.
"…"
This action caused both Seri and Haru to be dumbfounded.
"…Just in case, what are you doing?" Haru asked.
"I have heard that your protein is tasty. I want to taste it," Ritsu said simply while looking at him.
Ritsu's position at this moment was similar to the scene of hentai manga where a boss of some company let his secretary suck its anaconda below the table.
Haru felt giddy since he had never tried it before, but of course, Seri wouldn't let that happen.
"Stop! Stop! Let's eat somewhere out!" Seri quickly stopped Ritsu with a blush on her face.
Ritsu seemed a bit disappointed, but she didn't think too much. "Let's go. I have heard that there is a good western restaurant which has just been opened by an alumnus of Tootsuki." After her body had been transformed, she could also taste food and eating had become one of the things which she enjoyed in this life.
Seri and Haru nodded since as long as there was a name of Tootsuki then the taste of the food was guaranteed.
Haru was about to go out, but then his smartphone vibrated. "Wait a moment." He looked at his smartphone and felt a bit surprised that the one who had called him was Otonashi who he had met at the hospital before.
"Hello, Otonashi."
"Kasugano-san, I know that it is a bit too late, but do you still remember my promise? I still want to treat you to something."
Haru looked at the time and said, "Then, how about this evening?"
"Yes."
After Haru ate together with Seri and Ritsu, he went to meet with Otonashi. He was wondering how often he met this guy, but he had to admit Otonashi's little sister was quite cute. If he wasn't wrong, Sumire had told him that she wanted to help both siblings using his foundation and he didn't really mind it.
In this country, there was something known as government relief, but frankly, the amount of relief wasn't enough, especially for someone who lived in Tokyo, but still, he was quite surprised by Otonashi who was able to send his little sister to Maki's hospital since he had heard that both Otonashi siblings were orphans.
'Was it because of inheritance or insurance?'
Haru wasn't sure, but he didn't think too much nor would he judge both siblings.
Otonashi had invited him to eat at Sumiredouri Shopping District which also happened to be the location of Souma's restaurant.
Otonashi Yuzuru had just returned from his part-time job and stood right in front of the entrance of Sumiredouri Shopping District. He didn't do anything and only stood absentmindedly, waiting for someone.
"Otonashi-kun."
Otonashi looked up and was confused when he saw a young man with glasses and black hair calling out his name. "You're…?"
"I am Kasugano," Haru said and took off his wig and glasses in a second to show that it was him.
"…"
Otonashi was surprised and asked, "Why did you wear a disguise?"
"You don't need to think too much." Waving his hand, Haru asked, "So are you going to treat me today?"
Otonashi nodded and didn't ask that much, but then he said, "I have heard that there is a new food which is known as Sumire Karaage Roll. I will treat you to that."
"Really? Then let's go, what are we waiting for?" Haru said.
Otonashi sighed in relief when he saw that Haru seemed to be alright with the food that he had chosen since he knew that Haru was very rich. He didn't really know Haru's identity since he didn't watch television, newspapers, etc that much, but well, from Haru's way of walking, gestures, aura, etc.
When Otonashi was in the middle of thinking, Haru's voice woke him up.
"Otonashi."
"What's wrong, Kasungano-san?"
"What kind of part-time job do you usually do?" Haru was quite curious.
Otonashi thought for a while and said, "In the morning, I work in a construction site, then at night, I work at a convenience store."
Haru didn't feel that surprised by Otonashi's decision to work from morning to night. He might do the same if he didn't have the talent to write.
It was very difficult to live in this country unless someone had a talent as a writer or illustrator, then the only path in front of them was to study or work.
If someone chooses to study then they could enter a good university then work as a salaryman in a big company. It was the dream of most male students in this country since their life would be stable. For the smart ones whose family's economic condition was quite good, they would either choose to become a doctor or lawyer since it would generate a lot of money.
If someone chose to work then there was also a lot of path in front of them, but of course, this path was very hard, and the most common one was to work part-time in a catering industry or convenience store.
There was also an option to become either a construction worker or fisherman, but no one would choose this option unless they were forced to since it would wreck their bodies very quickly.
If someone had a good appearance then they could choose to become a host or cabaret girl, accompanying a rich woman or man, of course, if they chose this job, then they would receive a lot of money, and when they had enough of money, they could open their business.
There was also MLM, insurance, yakuza, and a lot more.
In this country, there was a lot of legal work, however, it wouldn't be easy since the best way for someone to secure their future was to study. If their studies weren't good, then they could only choose an unconventional path.
Someone like Nasa was very rare since Nasa was a genius programmer and his best friend, Kasugano Haruka, was a financial genius, businessman, etc.
With the number of users on Instagram alone, Nasa had already become a billionaire on his own which made this guy wonder whether he was dreaming.
Haru wanted to say Otonashi should work as a streamer, but he wasn't sure whether Otonashi had the talent to be one. He pondered while listening to Otonashi's story.
"Working in a convenience store at night is quite good."
"Why is that?"
"If there is a leftover bento on the shelf, then the employee can take the bento for free. I take two for dinner and breakfast in the morning," Otonasi said.
"You usually only eat a bento?" Haru asked.
Otonashi nodded and said, "Yes. It has been a while since I spent my money on buying food somewhere and somehow, it excites me."
Haru didn't say too much and didn't feel that sorry for him since he had seen worse.
The people who lived in the slums in the world of Akame Ga Kill and the little girls who were being labeled as Cursed Children were living several times worse than Otonashi after all, but well, he decided to help him anyway.
"Well, Otonashi, do you want to work for me?"
"Work for you?" Otonashi was surprised.
"Yeah, do you want to work at my gym?"
