Seiji and Mika decided to tell her mother Nozomi the truth .

Although it was probably possible to forcibly fool her somehow, when considering what might happen in the future, they felt it would be better to tell her the truth .

Mika immediately called her mother to rea.s.sure her that she was safe .

The call connected immediately .

"Mom…"

"Mika! Where are you? Are you alright?" Mika immediately heard her mother's concerned voice .

"I'm fine . I'm currently by the riverside and on my way home now . "

"What exactly happened to you? Why haven't I been able to contact you?"

"Something out of the ordinary happened… I'll tell you about it when I return home," Mika answered .

Nozomi fell silent for a moment .

"Are you currently together with Harutkun?" Nozomi suddenly inquired .

"Yeah…"

"Harutkun became uncontactable as well after he said he was going out to look for you . Chiaki said that he would definitely find you and told me to trust in him and wait at home," Nozomi said . "I was unable to wait… and then she said that the two of you might be in a special place that ordinary people will be unable to find, and that I would only be wasting my time if I went outside, in addition to possibly meeting with danger . "

"…Chiaki was telling you the truth," Mika softly stated .

"Mika… just what are the two of you concealing from me?"

"I promise to tell you when I return home, mom . "

After ending the phone call, Mika told Seiji what her mother just said . Then, the two of them hurried back to the Uehara apartments .

When they arrived, they saw that the front door was open and that Nozomi and Chiaki were waiting outside together for them .

"Harutkun…"

"Seiji…"

They saw his familiar figure returning, while an unfamiliar silver-haired beautiful girl was next to him, which confused both of them .

Who was this supposed to be? Where was Mika?

Nozomi questioningly looked towards Seiji, while Chiaki made a bold inference and widened her eyes at this "unfamiliar" girl who had such an ethereal aura about her .

"Mika?" Chiaki tried calling out to her .

"Yep, it's me, Chiaki," Mika responded .

"Mika… how did you become like this!?" The tomboy's eyes widened into saucers at receiving this confirmation .

Nozomi also widened her eyes in surprise upon recognizing her daughter's voice .

"Mika… is that really you?"

"It's me, mom . " Mika smiled wryly . "As I said, something out of the ordinary happened . "

Nozomi was rendered speechless .

Just what could have happened!?

Her daughter went out for just a while and returned back with such a huge change, and… she became so much more beautiful!

"You… had plastic surgery?" Nozomi couldn't help but ask .

"Not at all!" Mika instantly denied this .

Even plastic surgery wouldn't be this effective .

"Let's talk inside, Miss Landlord," Seiji mentioned .

The four of them entered the Uehara residence .

"This is indeed Mika . And as for why she became like this, that's because…"

Seiji explained the general situation to Nozomi . In order to sound more convincing, he even displayed his Spiritual Abilities . Once again, he used [Telekinesis], which was by far the most suitable spell for acting pretentious .

After Nozomi personally witnessed Seiji making a chair fly up into the air and spin around right under the ceiling, she believed what he said after she was done being shocked .

"Can Mika return to her original state?" She looked towards her daughter .

"Yes, it just needs some time," Seiji replied .

"Becoming so beautiful? It's fine even if you don't return to your original state . " Chiaki's mouth arced upwards as she looked towards Mika .

"I'm going to hit you, Chiaki . "

"Heehee, sorry . But really, you're so beautiful right now . You can even compare to President Yoruhana . " The tomboy chuckled while praising Mika .

"…I'm simply me . " Something flashed in Mika's eyes .

"That's right, Mika is Mika . No matter if it's how you originally looked or how you are now, Mika is still Mika . " Seiji smiled .

Mika looked towards him with a gentle expression .

"Hmm?" Chiaki astutely perceived something upon witnessing this scene .

Nozomi noticed something as well . She blinked as she looked towards her daughter and Seiji .

"Harutkun, thank you for saving Mika once again… I don't even know how to thank you anymore . "

"There's no need for such formalities, Miss Landlord . "

"So, I might as well just let her thank you instead," Nozomi remarked with a big grin . "Although she's not quite mature as a daughter yet, I still hope that you'll properly accept her . "

"Mom…" Mika got all embarra.s.sed .

'Does this count as having the parent's approval?' Seiji couldn't help but wonder to himself .

No, the landlord was definitely only permitting him to have a normal boyfriend-girlfriend relations.h.i.+p with Mika, and not some harem…

When thinking of harems, Seiji recalled what Mika said earlier about Chiaki . He couldn't help but glance over at the tomboy .

Chiaki was mystified when he suddenly looked at her .

Seiji hurriedly averted his gaze when he noticed that she saw him looking in her direction .

Honestly, he still didn't know what he should do in the future . Nor did he even know how to start thinking about it .

But he had to think about it… and he needed to figure out what he really wanted .

"I feel like you and Seiji have suddenly developed your relations.h.i.+p to the next level… what happened between the two of you?"

Even later that night, Chiaki was on her bed as she called Mika and asked this question .

"No… rather, I should ask instead, just what did you do, Mika?"

This wasn't the tone that a friend would use to ask a question . Mika felt that it sounded quite distant . However, she didn't dislike this, and even felt a subtle sense of delight .

"I expressed my own feelings, and Seiji accepted me as a member of his harem," Mika replied softly .

Chiaki was rendered speechless .

"Could you say that again?" The tomboy found it unbelievable what she just heard .

Mika chuckled .

"I made the same decision as you, Chiaki… perhaps not exactly the same, but quite similar… that's all . "

Chiaki sat in stunned silence for a moment before she guessed at what must have happened .

"You told him about me and President Yoruhana, and then you expressed that you were willing to accept being in a harem as well, is that correct?"

"Yes, although it happened in the opposite order . "

Mika summarized what happened between her and Seiji .

A strange smile gradually appeared on Chiaki's face as she listened .

"Heh heh… Haha… Hahaha…" She started laughing while rolling around and covering herself with her blanket .

"Chiaki?" Mika was confused by her reaction .

"Mika, you're amazing!" Chiaki gave her sincere praise after laughing for a while .

"Chiaki… are you alright?" Mika felt that something was strange .

"Of course I'm alright . I just felt that this was truly amusing, and I couldn't control myself… heh heh . " Chiaki chuckled yet again . "You did beautifully, something I didn't expect at all, but upon closer consideration, this is indeed something that you're capable of doing . So, that's why I feel… that this is all so wondrous!"

"…I don't understand what you mean . "

"I mean that you did an excellent job, Mika! So excellent that I feel like I'm just getting to know you all over again!!" Chiaki stated with great sincerity . "You were able to act for yourself and catch your own fortune . Congratulations . "

"Chiaki…" Mika was surprised to hear all this .

"You forcefully stole away what should have been President Yoruhana's! And, this was something that neither me, Asamiysan, nor Juumonji-sensei were able to accomplish . You surpa.s.sed all of us, and you're number one in the running now!" Chiaki continued . "Currently, only President Yoruhana and Kagursan can compare in what Seiji must think of you! Originally, those two were fighting for the lead, yet you suddenly put yourself in contention . The situation has now changed from battle between two rivals to a three-way fight . "

Mika was rendered speechless .

"You don't even understand just how amazing of a feat it was that you accomplished, which is really Miklike as well . " Chiaki chuckled . "Nor do you understand just how dangerous it was, what you did just now… but it's all water under the bridge now . There's no meaning in going on about this . At any rate, you caught your chance and did something that only you were capable of doing . That's really incredible . "
