Chapter 42: Chapter 42: A Date with Saint Megumi
Outside the subway station, Haru waited patiently for Megumi Kato.
Today was the weekend, and wanting to get suggestions from Megumi Kato, he had asked her out.
Since Megumi Kato hadn't arrived yet, Haru took out his phone to watch One Piece, completing today's task first.
"Haru-kun."
Just then, a pleasant, gentle voice came from ahead.
Haru looked up and was instantly stunned.
Today's Megumi Kato had obviously dressed up carefully for going out.
She wore a white beret on her head, a bright red short jacket over a form-fitting white dress with a cute bow tied at the collar.
Below the skirt hem was the tempting absolute territory, her slender legs wrapped in white stockings, showing off her perfectly slender and beautiful legs to the fullest.
Which fairy tale had this princess escaped from?
This woman usually kept a low profile at school, and if you didn't pay special attention, she really was an inconspicuous heroine.
But seeing her outside, she was at full power, beautiful enough to make bubbles.
Seeing Haru's stunned gaze, Megumi Kato's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of mischief as she covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Why aren't you saying anything, Haru-kun?"
Haru was silent for a moment, then showed a completely serious expression: "Marry me, Megumi-chan."
Such a beautiful Saint Megumi made Haru's heart pound with excitement.
Almost without thinking, he said what was in his heart at that moment.
At this moment, Haru had only one thought: such a cute Saint Megumi absolutely couldn't be wasted on that worthless Aki Tomoya.
He definitely had to win her over.
Megumi Kato's face reddened, not expecting Haru to say such a thing.
"Haru-kun, really, don't joke around like that."
Megumi Kato reproached him with her emotionally stable, gentle voice, "If Rikka, Fumino, or Yukinoshita-san heard that, they would be jealous."
"Getting those beautiful girls jealous over someone as unremarkable and ordinary as me wouldn't be worth it."
"Megumi-chan, your words have two big problems."
Haru looked at Megumi Kato speechlessly, "First, and most importantly, please don't humble-brag. You're not some unremarkable ordinary girl, you're a super cute beautiful girl."
Hearing this, Megumi Kato's face reddened again.
Being called a cute beautiful girl was a first for her.
However, she was also a little happy inside.
"Second, even if Rikka and the others heard it, it wouldn't matter." Haru didn't care, "After all, I'm telling the truth, and why would they be jealous?"
"Haru-kun, while I appreciate your compliments, are you serious about that last part?"
Megumi Kato looked at Haru reproachfully. Why would they be jealous? Did he really not understand?
"Of course I'm serious."
Haru was completely righteous about it.
Although he got along well with Rikka and the others and admitted in his heart that he had some feelings for them, feelings were just feelings - they weren't officially dating yet.
So even if he pursued other girls, there was nothing wrong with that.
As for Yukino Yukinoshita, there was even less need to worry.
Yukino Yukinoshita and he were like fire and water. For Megumi Kato to say that woman would be jealous, Haru seriously doubted Megumi Kato's judgment.
"Alright, let's stop joking around." Megumi Kato lightly brushed her hair with her small hand, raising the corner of her lips in a smile, "Haru-kun, didn't you say this morning that you had something serious to discuss with me?"
Haru remembered that he did have serious business today, so he stopped joking around and said: "Let's go to a café first and then talk."
Soon, the two arrived at a quiet café.
"Megumi-chan, I asked you out today because I actually wanted to seek your guidance!"
Haru looked expectantly at Megumi Kato in front of him.
Megumi Kato's beautiful eyes showed a trace of confusion: "Haru-kun, someone as excellent as you still needs guidance from an ordinary person like me?"
"I told you, stop being so modest. You're not ordinary at all. Please have some self-awareness, Megumi-chan." Haru said speechlessly.
"But I really am ordinary. Ordinary looks, ordinary grades, and no special talents. If it weren't for Haru-kun's invitation, I wouldn't have even joined a club." Megumi Kato showed a serious expression, speaking in her usual emotionally stable tone.
"Ordinary looks... you're so cute, how is that ordinary?"
Haru said with annoyance. If he hadn't gotten to know Megumi Kato well these past few days and knew she really thought this way, Haru would suspect this person was deliberately being modest.
"Haru-kun, you're the only one who has ever called me cute since I was little." Megumi Kato's eyes showed a hint of amusement, "But I know you're deliberately complimenting me. If I were really cute, it wouldn't be possible that no one has ever noticed me since childhood."
"Furuhashi-san, Ogata-san, Yukinoshita-san, and Takanashi-san are always the center of male attention wherever they go, but I've never been properly looked at even once."
She paused, then looked at Haru with a blush, saying somewhat shyly: "Of course, except for Haru-kun, which is why I've always thought Haru-kun was strange."
"Not strange at all." Haru looked at Megumi Kato, who had no self-awareness whatsoever, feeling extremely speechless.
However, hearing Megumi Kato's words, Haru thought it was ridiculous that she hadn't become super socially anxious like Pochita.
Logically speaking, Megumi Kato's experiences were actually similar to Pochita's, but Megumi Kato didn't have any social anxiety at all.
"Without a doubt, this is talent."
Haru sighed. After all, there was only one Saint Megumi.
Social anxiety sufferers like Pochita were everywhere in Japan.
"Megumi-chan, you should know the reason why no one notices you." Haru looked at Megumi Kato seriously, "Because you actually have a very terrifying talent."
"Haru-kun is joking again. I don't even know what talents I have." Megumi Kato looked completely unconvinced.
But she was secretly a bit hopeful inside.
After all, who wouldn't want to have unique strengths?
Saint Megumi was the same, especially since she had been spending time with very excellent girls, making the somewhat insecure Megumi Kato hope she had something special about herself.
"You do." Haru nodded seriously, "Your talent is that terrifyingly low presence!"
The expectation in Megumi Kato's beautiful eyes immediately disappeared, and her gaze became somewhat hollow.
After a long silence, she looked at Haru with a slightly reproachful gaze and said:
"Haru-kun, even someone as unremarkable as me can get angry, you know."
"I'm really telling the truth, Megumi-chan."
Haru stared at Megumi Kato with full chuunibyou energy, "Actually, I came to find you today because I wanted to ask you how to learn such a superpower."
Megumi Kato looked at Haru with the weird expression of "are you serious?"
If she didn't know that Haru's thought processes had always been different from ordinary people, Megumi Kato would probably be a bit annoyed.
But now, she could only sigh: "Haru-kun, being ignored by people around you is not a superpower."
"This is a superpower!"
Haru's eyes flashed with deep meaning, showing the same passionate chuunibyou expression as Rikka, "This is an ability similar to invisibility, allowing you to easily infiltrate anywhere, and even electronic devices can't detect you."
"Haru-kun, I thought you stayed with Rikka because she was cute. It seems I misjudged you. I'm sorry."
Megumi Kato stared at Haru strangely for a while.
"Megumi-chan, is that how you've always seen me?" Haru's face darkened.
Although he really wasn't a chuunibyou patient, he stayed with Rikka Takanashi mainly to increase bond values, not because of Rikka Takanashi's cuteness.
Of course, Rikka Takanashi's cuteness was also a factor, but it definitely wasn't the main reason.
"Sorry, because Haru-kun really did seem different from Rikka before." Megumi Kato smiled slightly and quickly apologized.
"I don't accept it." Haru snorted, "Megumi-chan, you actually questioned my character, which makes me very angry. Unless you tell me how to learn your superpower, we'll end our friendship."
Megumi Kato's beautiful eyes flashed with amusement. She naturally knew Haru wasn't angry, saying: "Haru-kun, even if what you say is true and being ignored is my superpower, I'm completely clueless about this superpower too. How can you expect me to teach it to you?"
Haru's face showed a smile. He had finally succeeded in his persuasion.
"Megumi-chan, how did you acquire this superpower?" Haru looked at Megumi Kato, "You can think about what special habits you have, whether in studying or daily life, that led to you becoming someone who gets ignored like this."
"Special habits?"
Megumi Kato tilted her head, showing a thoughtful expression, then looked at Haru apologetically, "Sorry, Haru-kun, I really can't think of any special habits I have."
"Really none?" Haru raised an eyebrow. At such a crucial moment, how could he give up? He stared at Megumi Kato with a serious expression: "You can think more carefully and just say one or two at random!"
"I really can't think of any." Megumi Kato said helplessly, "After all, I'm just an ordinary person who can't gain any insights from daily life. Haru-kun, you spend time with me normally too. If I really had special habits, you would have observed them from my life long ago."
Megumi Kato thought her answer would disappoint Haru and felt somewhat apologetic.
However, what she didn't expect was that as soon as she finished speaking, Haru's face flashed with joy.
