Rather than studying in their own houses or family restaurants nearby, they went to Haru's shrine to study together, however, Haru really wondered whether it was a good decision since he could tell that some of them didn't learn seriously, of course, it only applied to three idiots on Muse.
However, at the same time, Haru was worried about his girlfriend, Maki since he knew that this girl often forced herself and neglected her study because she wanted to help Rin with her study.
Rin was being taught by both Hanayo and Maki together, and from his position, he could even see smoke coming out from Rin's head since she was overloaded.
Haru thought for a while and wondered whether he should do a private lesson with Maki later.
'There's still days before their exam after all.'
Haru knew that Maki's parents were very strict, especially regarding her studies since she needed to become a doctor after all and if her study was affected by this idol activity then, without doubt, her parents, especially her father, might forbid her to be an idol in the future and his relationship might be also affected.
Haru wouldn't be surprised if her father or mother suddenly told him that both of them shouldn't start a relationship until they graduate from high school and he couldn't let that happen no matter what.
"Haru, is it alright for you to not study?" Eli asked. She also brought her book, studying at the shrine.
"It's alright. Even if my result is bad, you don't need to worry," Haru said.
"Huh? Why? How can you have such an enviou-- I mean how can you be so irresponsible, Haru!" Honoka quickly said.
"........." Everyone was lost for words for Honoka.
"Honoka is one thing, but can you maintain your exam's score while you help us and do your business?" Eli asked worriedly.
Everyone also looked at him with worried expressions since they didn't want him to have a bad result on his exam.
"In truth, my exam has already ended and this is my result." Haru took out the report of his exam so they wouldn't feel worried about him.
Then without hesitation, they looked at Haru's exam score which caused them to be dumbfounded since he got a perfect score and ranked 1 in his entire grade.
"....."
"You can't treat him like a normal guy, he has left the realm of mortals," Nozomi said simply.
Everyone nodded at the same time.
"..."
Haru was speechless and said, "But is it alright for you to be here? Aren't your parents going to be worried?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It's alright, we'll go back after this," Umi said.
Kotori nodded and said, "Our home is also very close after all."
Haru's shrine was very close to their home and they didn't need to worry too much if they returned quite late, though, if it was really late then he would send them back to their home.
Then they continued their studies before dinner time, however, during their study session, it started to rain which made it quite hard for them to go home.
"This...?"
No one was sure what to do since they didn't bring an umbrella.
"Well, the rain is going to stop soon," Nico said.
However, when they watched the television, they saw that there was a typhoon which happened in the nearby area which caused the rain to become harder.
"This...?!"
Everyone knew that they couldn't go back and they weren't sure what to do for a while.
Haru wanted to tell them not to worry since he could send them back, however, his mouth was covered by Nozomi's hand before she quickly said, "Say, why don't we stay here together?"
"Huh?" 8x
Eight girls suddenly became surprised when they heard Nozomi's words.
"Is that alright?" Honoka blinked her eyes and asked since she didn't think too much. She also felt quite happy when she thought that she could stay with everyone.
"Haru, what do you think?" Nozomi asked.
"...."
Haru was looking at Nozomi with a speechless expression, but he quickly said, "If you want then you can stay here, however, I don't have female clothes here."
"If I am not wrong, your clothes should be in your room, right?" Nozomi suddenly asked.
"There's.... but what do you want to do with it?" Haru asked.
"Then isn't it good for us to wear your clothes?" Nozomi said.
"Huh?" 8x
The eight girls of Muse beside Nozomi were stunned when they heard Nozomi's words.
"....."
Haru could see the excitement in Nozomi's expression, which made him speechless. "I don't mind, but it isn't going to fit since my clothes are very big."
"It's alright." Nozomi nodded then looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"
Unlike Nozomi who had been eaten by Haru and also often wore his shirt several times when he visited her house, Maki and Eli blushed since it meant they would wear his clothes for the first time.
However, Maki and Eli were better since both of them were his girlfriends, but the rest of the girls blushed since it meant they would wear boy clothes!
"Th - That's so shameless!" Umi was the first one who couldn't bear it since she felt that it was too indecent to wear the opposite gender clothes.
"But Umi-chan, if you wear your uniform, it is going to be wrinkled, or do you want to sleep naked?" Nozomi said with a smile.
"Nozomi! How can you say such a shameless thing!" Umi was very shy after all and unlike everyone who could wear a short skirt without trouble, she was very embarrassed to show her thigh during her first concert and even now.
Well, do you want to sleep naked?" Nozomi asked.
Umi blushed, but quickly shook her head, and frankly, she also felt a bit curious to wear a boy's clothes since it would be her first time.
"So everyone has decided to sleep here?" Haru asked.
"Yes, is that alright, Haru?" Honoka asked.
"Why not? This shrine is quite big after all," Haru said.
"Yay! Sleeping together! It is going to be fun!" Rin was very happy.
"Rin... Rin-chan..." Hanayo was slightly nervous, but she also felt happy.
"Then I'll call my parents first," Maki said and started to call her parents.
Everyone also did the same and quickly got the permission of their parents to sleep together on the shrine since the typhoon was very hard and from the news, it wouldn't stop until tomorrow.
"If you have made such a decision, then I'll go back now."
Haru felt that it was quite weird for him to stay together with all of them. If it was only Nozomi, Eli, and Maki then he didn't mind staying together at the shrine, but it was different if there were all nine girls in this place.
However, when he was about to go back, his hand was being pulled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEli frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
Maki nodded and said, "The typhoon outside is very hard!"
"But I am a guy!" Haru quickly said, reminding everyone that he was a man.
"What is the problem, nyaa?" Rin asked with a confused expression.
Haru twitched his lips and said, "You're all very attractive girls, don't you feel worried that I might attack you?"
"....."
The nine girls quickly blushed when they heard his words, especially when they heard that they were attractive girls from his mouth.
"Haru, you pervert!" Umi quickly covered her chest.
"Help! Help! Help!" Hanayo shouted for help.
"Kayo-chin, I'll protect you, nyaa!" Rin quickly hugged Hanayo.
"You... You beast!" Nico pointed her finger at Haru.
Kotori felt that her face was burning.
Nozomi smiled happily when she saw everyone's reaction, but Eli and Maki quickly blushed since they knew that they might be eaten.
"Haru, are you going to attack us?" Honoka asked with an innocent expression.
"....No, I am not, but you should be careful, alright? Remember that you're all girls!" Haru reminded them once again.
"Then we don't need to worry." Honoka smiled and said, "We believe in you."
"...."
Haru looked at everyone's gaze and felt speechless, but at the same time, his heart was very hurt when they saw their innocent expression since he felt that his heart was a bit tainted compared to them.
"Don't worry, I'll protect everyone." Nozomi had a resolute gaze that she would sacrifice herself for this big devil.
"..."
Haru looked at Nozomi and felt that he should pull her to his room tonight.
When Honoka had made her declaration, everyone also had let go of their worries and decided to take a bath together.
Haru could only sigh and sit down in the living room, but then Nozomi moved closer and whispered with a bright smile on her soft cheeks, "Don't you feel happy?"
"....."
Haru wasn't sure how to answer this question.
