Seiji and Mika decided to tell Nozomi the truth.
Although it was possible to bluff her way out of this, considering the future, it was still better to tell her the truth.
Mika immediately called her mother, wanting to tell her that she was safe so that her mother wouldn't have to worry.
The call connected instantly.
"Mom …"
"Mika! Where are you? Are you alright? "Nozomi's worried voice came from the other end of the line.
"I'm fine. I'm currently by the river, and I'm about to go back."
"What exactly happened? Why couldn't I contact you? "
"Something abnormal happened … I'll tell you when I get home," Mika responded.
Nozomi fell silent for a moment.
"Are you currently together with Haruta-kun?" Nozomi suddenly asked.
"Yes …"
"Haruta-kun said that he couldn't contact you after looking for you. Chiaki said that he would definitely bring you back. She told me to trust in him and wait for him at home," Nozomi said. "I couldn't wait … and then she said that it was highly likely that you were in a special place that ordinary people wouldn't be able to find. Going out to look for you would be futile, and you might even meet with danger."
"… Chiaki was right," Mika said in a soft voice.
"Mika … just what exactly are you two hiding from me?"
"I'll tell you when I get home, mom."
After ending the call, Mika explained the situation to Seiji Mukai, and then the two of them hurried back to Uehara's apartment.
When they arrived, they saw that Uehara's apartment door was open. Nozomi and Chiaki were waiting together in front of the door.
"Haruta-kun …" "Seiji …"
They waited for the boy they knew to return, but were instantly confused to see an unfamiliar silver-haired beauty by his side.
Who was this person? Where was Mika?
Nozomi expressed her confusion to Seiji Mukai with her eyes. Chiaki seemed to guess at something as she widened her eyes in surprise at this "unfamiliar" girl who had a dreamy aura about her.
"Mika?" she tried calling out to her.
"It's me, Chiaki," Mika replied.
"Mika … How did you become like this!?" The tomboy's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as her guess was confirmed.
Nozomi also recognized her daughter's voice and widened her eyes in surprise.
"Mika … is that really you?"
"It's me, Mom." Mika smiled bitterly. "I told you, something unusual happened."
Nozomi: "…"
What the hell was going on!?
His daughter went out for a trip, and when she came back, her appearance had changed completely. She had become … a lot more beautiful!
"You … went for plastic surgery?" the young woman couldn't help but ask.
"No!" Mika flatly denied it.
Even plastic surgery did not have such a good effect.
"Let's talk inside, Mrs. Landlord," Seiji said.
The four of them entered Uehara's home.
"This is indeed Mika, and the reason why she became like this is because …"
Seiji explained the general situation to Nozomi, and in order to be more convincing, he even showed off his Spiritual Abilities. He still used telekinesis, which was the most suitable for acting cool.
Nozomi personally witnessed Seiji make a chair fly into the air and spin under the ceiling. After her initial astonishment, she believed what he said.
"Can Mika return to her original appearance?" She looked towards her daughter.
"Yes, it's just a matter of time," Seiji answered.
"You've become so beautiful. Even if you don't return to your original appearance, it's still quite good." Chiaki's mouth arced upwards as she looked at Mika.
"I'm going to hit you, Chiaki."
"Heh heh, my apologies, but to be honest, you're quite beautiful right now. You can even compare to President Wanhua," the tomboy praised her with a smile.
"… I'm me." Something flashed in Mika's eyes.
"That's right, Mika is Mika Kagura. No matter if it's your original appearance or your current appearance, you're still Mika Kagura. "Seiji smiled.
Mika looked towards him with a gentle look in her eyes.
"Hmm?" Chiaki sharply noticed something when she saw this scene.
Nozomi noticed it as well. She blinked as she looked at her daughter and Seiji.
"Haruta-kun, thank you for saving Mika Kagura once again … I don't even know how to thank you."
"No need to be so polite, Miss Landlord."
"That's why I'll let her thank you herself." Nozomi grinned. "Although she's not much of a good daughter, I still hope that you can properly accept her."
"Mom …" Mika became embarrassed.
'Does this count as receiving her parent's approval?' Seiji couldn't help but wonder.
'No, the Miss Landlord definitely approved of a normal relationship, not a harem …'
When he thought about the harem and what Mika said, he couldn't help but glance at the tomboy.
Chiaki was rendered speechless.
The moment that their gazes met, Seiji hurriedly retracted his gaze.
To be honest, he still didn't know what to do in the future. He didn't even know what to think about.
But he had to think … he needed to sort out his own emotions.
…
"I feel like you and Seiji had a breakthrough … what happened between the two of you?"
Late at night, Chiaki made a phone call from her bed.
"No … I should ask, just what did you do, Mika Kagura?"
This wasn't the tone of a friend asking a question. Mika found it unfamiliar, but she didn't dislike it. In fact, she even felt a subtle sense of delight.
"I expressed my feelings, and Seiji accepted me as a member of his harem," she answered softly.
Chiaki was rendered speechless.
"Could you say that again?" The tomboy couldn't believe what she just heard.
Mika chuckled.
"I made the same decision as you, Chiaki … perhaps it wasn't exactly the same, but it was similar … that's all there is to it."
Chiaki paused in surprise for a moment before she guessed what was going on.
"You told him about me and President Wanhua, and then you told him that you were willing to accept a harem as well, right?"
"Yes, but in the reverse order."
Mika explained what happened at the time.
A strange smile gradually appeared on Chiaki's face after she heard this.
"Heehee … Haha … Hahaha …" She started laughing as she rolled over in her blanket.
"Chiaki?" Mika found this rather strange.
"You're really something, Mika Kagura!" Chiaki praised her sincerely after laughing for a while.
"Chiaki … are you alright?" Mika felt that something was off.
"Of course I'm fine. I just felt that it was so interesting that I couldn't control myself … Heehee." Chiaki chuckled again. "You did so beautifully, completely exceeding my expectations. But when I think about it carefully, it's indeed something that you're capable of doing, which is why I feel … that it's wonderful!"
"… I don't understand what you mean."
"What I mean is that you did an excellent job! Mika, you did so well that I feel like I'm getting to know you all over again!! "Chiaki said this from the bottom of her heart." Congratulations to you for grasping happiness with your own will. "
"Chiaki …" Mika was astonished.
"You forcefully stole the portion that should have belonged to President Wanhua! And this is something that neither I, Asamiya-san, nor Juumonji-sensei were able to do. You've surpassed all of us and are now on the frontlines! "Chiaki continued.
"Right now, only President Wanhua and Kagura-san can compare to your position in Seiji's heart! Originally, those two were fighting for the lead position, but you suddenly interfered and changed the situation from a battle between two powers to a battle between three countries. "
Mika was rendered speechless.
"You don't understand how amazing you've been. This is just like you." Chiaki chuckled. "You don't understand just how dangerous your actions were either … but what's done is done, so there's no meaning in talking about it anymore."
