School had more or less ended on a somewhat positive note, though Haru wasn't feeling so well. Ever since the first period, his body was uncomfortably warm. Enough so that he discarded his tie and undid a few buttons to his dress shirt. Worse, his head had been hurting the entire day. Sona, bless her soul, took pity on him and decided to allow him to go home early on account of a migraine. Of course, she also warned him that, come tomorrow when he feels better, he'd have double the work load.
On his way back, his mind went back to his parents' conversation from last night, regarding girlfriends and such. In truth, Haru wasn't entirely sure if he was even looking for one right now. There were many cute girls at Kuoh, especially the likes of Akeno Himejima and Rias Gremory, but his chances were more or less screwed, due to his perverse behavior. There was Aika Kiryuu, though it would be a cold day in hell before he even considered it. In fact, Haru pitied whoever tried and date that devilish minx.
And they call him a pervert!
Now that I think about it… what is my kind of girl, anyway? Haru wondered as he folded his arms, dipping his head in thought. She'd have to have killer oppai, of course. And a really, really sweet personality. DEFINITELY not a bitch, though. And she would have to be honest with me. And she'd be willing to help me with whatever I need. A brief pause, then a heavy blush on his face. B-but definitely not sexual help! W-well, I mean, if she wants to, but if she's the kind of girl who'd only want to do stuff like that on certain occasions, then that would be okay! Oh, and she definitely has to be housewife material! At this, the image of his ideal girl in a naked apron came to mind, causing his nose to bleed. Hot damn that would be awesome...!
Strange, though… one would think Haru's thoughts would be severely more perverse, but it seems even the redhead was capable of some modesty.
He continued to think about the topic, even as he reached the small bridge that passed over the street below. Afterwards, there would be a small strip of street that would lead to the residential district. His house was there, where his family would be waiting for them. Now that he thought about his family, he wondered if they would actually try and put him up on a blind date… not that he'd want to. He wanted to find his own girl, not have her handed to him!
He sighed in frustration. His parents were only looking out for him. And given his perverted behavior, it'd only be natural for them to worry about him. Even still... why did they constantly have to believe that they would not have any grandchildren?! Wasn't that thinking ahead of themselves?!
"Um... e-excuse me...?"
"Huh?" Haru stopped walking, noticing the person before him.
It was a girl, and a drop dead knockout at that. It was a girl around his own age, bearing long black hair and violet eyes, wearing a dark red jacket with the letter "P" embroidered in gold, a white undershirt, a red bow, and a green skirt with a thin white strip around the lower end of it. She held an umbrella in her hands, which was being bounced around between her palms nervously.
"A-are you...?" the girl spoke nervously. Haru had to admit, she was cute… and her bust...! That voice! Haaaaa...! This was the kind of girl he was looking for! "H-Haru Hyoudou-kun?"
I don't recognize the uniform, so she doesn't go to our school. Who is she? the brunette thought, but shrugged. "Yep, the one and only."
"Ah! Thank Goodness!" The girl sighed in relief. She fidgeted slightly as her face reddened.
"So… what's up?" he asked curiously. "Do you need something?"
"Ah, um… My name is… Y-Yuuma." she introduced herself, bowing her head. "Y-Yuuma Amano."
"Nice to meet you." Haru nodded, not sure where this was going.
"S-so, um… c-can I… ask you something p-personal?"
He raised an eyebrow. Why was she fidgeting so much? And why was her face so red? Was she embarrassed about something?
… waaaaaaaaait a minute here! Those flushed cheeks... That flustered voice... Those bashful voice... It-it couldn't be... could it?!
"A-are you... seeing anyone?"
IT IS!
She… she… this cute girl was asking him out!
"N-no!" he shouted, a bit too loudly for his own liking, a result of his excitement. Yuuma recoiled, causing him to wince as a result, and scratched the back of his head. This was it! This was his chance! A real chance to get a girlfriend! A chance for OPPAI! "I-I mean, no... I'm not really in a relationship with anyone. Why… do you ask?"
"W-well… I… I was wondering… Would… Would you go out with me?" She bowed.
Instantly, Haru smiled brightly. Finally! Finally!
Life is looking good!
Yuuma and Haru had decided that they would officially go on a date on Sunday. It worked for the red head, since he didn't have school that day. Naturally, though, he showed his new girl off to Motohama and Matsuda, easily earning shocked and disbelieving looks on their faces. He considered it payback for all those times they left him to dry.
Still, he felt kind of bad, using Yuuma for petty revenge like that. Today, though, he was going to make it up to her!
"Oh, man I'm nervous," Haru muttered as he paced around his room. "What do you even do on a date? Should we go to an amusement park? No, Kuoh's went out of business two months ago. Maybe a cafe? Nah, that sounds lame. Oh! Maybe eat out at a restaurant? Wait, what if she hates fast food!" He growled in frustration, gripping his hair. "Dammiiiiiiit! I haven't played enough eroge games to prepare me for this!"
He probably should've focused more on the dating sim aspect of his eroge games rather than focusing on the h-scenes.
"Okay, Haru, just calm down," he told himself. "Calm down… you got this. Everything is gonna be fine… gonna be fine!" He gave a swift sigh, and then looked at his attire. He stared at what he was wearing before his shoulders dropped again. "Oh, who am I kidding?! I don't have any good clothes!"
He tried to find the best attire he had in his closet, but he still didn't think it was good enough. He just knew this was going to be a horrible date. Why didn't he play enough dating games that could have helped him with this? He thought he had dressed up in the nicest clothes he could find, but when he looked at himself in the mirror, he was beginning to doubt whether or not these clothes would fit him. He wore a light jacket over a red shirt with a small black v-neck and khaki slacks that used to belong to his father, along with black dress shoes.
When he got a good look in the mirror… he realized that these fancy, formal clothes did not really suit him. But he had no time to ponder it for now. He had to continue to get ready for his big date!
Sucking in a large breath, he huffed his chest and steeled his nerves. He was about to leave the room before his eyes settled on the steel container on his desk. The one carrying that bizarre deck. He wasn't sure why, but he felt… compelled to take it with him for some reason.
Now that he thought about it, the day it showed up in his possession was the same day he met Yuuma. Maybe it was some kind of good luck charm? Feeling that he needed all the luck he could get for this date, he didn't hesitate in picking it up and placing it in his pocket.
"Haru!" his father called. "If you don't hurry, you're going to be late!"
"R-right!" Haru shouted back. He double checked to see if he had everything, then gave himself another once over, and nodded. "Okay… work with what I've got! Here I come, oppai!" With a strong nod, he whirled around, and left his room.
Unaware of the fate that would soon await him today.
