Chapter 1916 - Himeragi Is Too Uptight
Himeragi had prepared herself since she had decided to live in Haru's house, but she didn't expect this situation. Her expression was a bit uncomfortable, looking at him, who was cooking in the kitchen. "Um... Senpai, is there something that I can help you with?" She had said that she would become the maid, and she had expected that she would take care of him in his daily times, including... Cough! Cough! But well, she didn't expect that she was the one who was being taken care of.
"Well, how about you take care of the plates?" Haru asked.
"Yes!" Himeragi nodded without hesitation. She then walked toward Haru while looking at the food that was cooked by him. The smell of the food was so delicious that it made her mouth watery. "Senpai, are you good at cooking?"
"I've learned under a very talented chef in the past," Haru said.
Himeragi looked at Haru and asked, "Senpai, are you really 16 years old?"
"I'm 16 years old, but you can say that I'm slightly more talented than others," Haru said simply. "Give me the plates."
"Ah, yes!" Himeragi looked at the pasta on the plate and followed his every word docilely.
Haru looked at Himeragi and thought that this girl was really a good girl.
"Huh? Haru, who is that?"
Himeragi turned and saw a beautiful woman with long silver hair, but before she said anything, she was hugged by this woman. "Wh --?!"
"How cute! What's your name? How about you wear the maid uniform that I've made?" Mimori asked.
"Senpai, help me!" Himeragi couldn't handle such close physical intimacy with other women so suddenly.
Haru chopped Mimori's head and said, "Don't cause trouble, or you won't have dinner, Mimori.
"Ehh....?!" Mimori complained, but then she smiled and said, "But I'll have my dinner at midnight, right?"
"..." Haru.
Himeragi raised her eyebrow and felt confused. "Huh? Why do you want to eat dinner at midnight?'
"...." Haru.
Mimori laughed and patted Himeragi's head. "You're so cute. Now that you mention it, what's your name?"
"M - My name is Himeragi Yukina," Himeragi said with a blush.
"I see..." Mimori nodded and said, "My name is Mimori. Nice to meet you, Yukina-chan."
"Ah, yes." Himeragi nodded.
"Well, you can talk later. Let's have a welcoming party for her," Haru said.
"Eh? My welcoming party? Now?" Himeragi was dumbfounded.
"You don't want to?" Haru asked.
"No, no, I don't mind, but why so suddenly?" Himeragi asked with some confusion.
"You're going to live here from now on. Isn't it normal for me to throw a welcoming party for you?" Haru said.
"But - But I'm just your observer, you don't need to do so much for me..." Himeragi was happy, but she felt that she had troubled him, but then she felt that her head was caressed by Haru. "Senpai?"
"At this time, you shouldn't say so much. You should accept it and say thank you to me, that's all," Haru said.
Himeragi was in a daze for a moment and nodded with a blush. "Yes, Senpai..."
Mimori looked at Haru then Himeragi before she smiled. "Well, why do you wear your facemask all the time? Take it off." She then took off his facemask since she wanted to see him without it.
Haru looked at Mimori speechlessly and looked at Himeragi, who was in a daze. "Well, let's eat first since it won't be good if the foods are cold."
Looking at Haru, Himeragi understood why he was wearing his facemask all the time since if he didn't wear it, she was sure that he might cause a lot of disturbance in this world. She took a deep breath and said, "Senpai, you should wear your facemask from now on."
"....." Haru.

In the dining room, everyone was eating together while chatting with each other.
"Um, Himeragi-san, you're going to Saikai Academy too?" Avrora asked.
"Ah, yes, I'll enter the middle school there." Himeragi nodded.
"Oh, you'll enter the same school as Nagisa," Avrora said in surprise. As for entering the school, she didn't really have that much interest anyway, so she didn't think too much.
"Huh? Nagisa? Who is that?" Himeragi was confused.
"Eh? Really?" Himeragi was surprised, but then she nodded. "Yes, we can go together at that time."
"That's my daughter. Yukina-chan, you'll also meet my daughter in that school too, so please take care of her there," Mimori said.
"Eh? Daughter? You have a daughter, Mimori-san?!" Himeragi was dumbfounded.
"Yes, I have both a son and a daughter." Mimori nodded with a smile.
Himeragi looked at Mimori and looked at Haru.
"Both of them are not my son and daughter. She's a widow," Haru said.
"Ah..." Himeragi nodded and showed an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, Senpai, Mimori-san."
"It's okay. It's okay. A lot of people often say that I'm younger than I seem after all," Mimori said with a smile and didn't overthink Himeragi's words.
"By the way, is that suitcase all of your things?" Haru asked.
"Um." Himeragi nodded and said, "If I need something, I can buy it myself, but..." She looked at Haru with a hesitant expression.
"But you need to observe me?" Haru asked.
"Yes..." Himeragi nodded embarrassedly.
"....." Haru, Semiramis, and Mimori looked at Himeragi and thought that this girl was too uptight, right?
"Himeragi, let me ask you a question first," Haru said.
"What's wrong, Senpai?" Himeragi looked at Haru curiously.
"As my observer, you're going to follow me everywhere?" Haru asked.
"Yes." Himeragi nodded without hesitation.
"School?"
"Yes."
"My office?"
"Yes."
"During my date?" Haru asked.
"Eh? You have a girlfriend, Senpai?" Himeragi was dumbfounded.
"........"
Semiramis and Mimori started to laugh, hearing Himeragi's words.
"Wh - Why are you two laughing?!" Himeragi felt uncomfortable being laughed at by Semiramis and Mimori.
"Nothing, nothing, you can continue your conversation," Semiramis said gently and didn't think too much.
"Himeragi, as my observer, you're going to follow me everywhere?" Haru asked.
"Ah, yes, that's the plan, Senpai." Himeragi nodded, but then she said, "But of course, I won't follow you to the bathroom and bedroom, but... but... if you want..." She lowered her head with a blush.
"...."
Looking at Himeragi, Haru realized that this girl was more troublesome than he had thought. She was so uptight and straight that it was impossible for her to bend. However, he had to admit that she was a bit similar to Umi Sonoda, which somehow made him miss her since he had been in this world for a few months. "Well, let's take a rest first since you might be tired from your journey."
"Yes, thank you, Senpai." Himeragi nodded with a smile.
"You can ask Avrora a lot of things about this place. I'll go back and rest first," Haru said.
"Oh, me too!" Mimori said.
"Well, I'll take a rest first too," Semiramis said.
Looking at two women who followed him, Haru could only feel speechless, but he didn't say much.
Himeragi didn't think too much and looked at Avrora. "Please take care of me from now on, Avrora-san."
"Yes, please take care of me too, Himeragi-san." Avrora nodded with a smile and said, "Well, it might be a bit late, but do you want to take a bath first?"
"Take a bath?" Himeragi asked in confusion, but then she understood what it meant to enjoy life in this house.
