Chapter 192: Searching

Sakura was eating the ice cream that he made with a happy expression. Her expression was in bliss, "Thank you, Haru."

"No problem," Haru said.

Both of them were walking around the town to search for the singer for his project.

Sakura looked at him and asked, "Are you going to enter Tootsuki?"

"Me? No," Haru shook his head.

"Really? Why?" Sakura asked.

"I'm going to join Inspiration Academy Private High School," Haru said.

Sakura stopped and surprised, "You're going join that elite school?"

Haru nodded, "The rules are pretty lax and as long as you have a good grade, you will be pretty much free." He needed to build his business and wanted to have a lax high school.

Sakura smiled and said, "It will be nice when I can see you enter a high school, though."

"...."

Haru knocked her head, "Don't say something depressing, I'm here with you now, you want to spend your remaining time with me right?"

Sakura smiled, "That's true."

"Alright, let's search for this singer now," Haru said.

"Oooh!" Sakura raised her hand in excitement.

C7 was moving around the town aimlessly since she was hungry. She had only eaten once a day before her lesson with Megumi but her lesson was over right now. She felt the world was strange and she felt that she had entered a different world. She wanted to go back but she didn't know what to do. She moved around the town and saw a pet shop and couldn't help but get excited.

"Nyaa."

"Cute...." C7 said with shining eyes. She didn't expect to see such a cute cat displayed there.

"Excuse me, are you looking for a pet?"

C7 was a bit startled when she saw the staff came out. She moved back and ran from that place. She had almost forgotten that she was a ninja and she couldn't be seen.

*growl

C7 thought to go back to her disciple but shook her head since she thought that it was bit inappropriate since ninja was an individual. She needed to take care of herself even though it was hard. She was thinking about whether she should eat the grass on the park or catch a fish on the river. The only thing that she was grateful about was that the water was free and she could drink it in the park.

C7 sighed when she thought about her home. She was really wondering whether she could really go back to her own home. She felt quite sad and maybe the connection that she had in this place was her pupil but she didn't really want to see her now. She didn't want her pupil to see her weak side. She didn't know what to do now until she heard someone sing on the street. She turned and saw a girl with red hair standing on the side of the street while playing her guitar. She was attracted by her voice and she felt an emotion that was coming from her song.

C7 wasn't sure but she felt that she wasn't that hungrier when she heard this song. She decided to walk to that girl listening to her song closely. She crouched down and listened to this song quietly.

Iwasawa didn't really want to stay at her house and her work was on break right now. She brought the guitar that she found on the street to sing. She wanted to become a professional singer and get out of that place. She started to remember the cake that she had eaten during her birthday. She remembered a pair of girls and boys who gave her the box of the cake. She was wondering whether they were a couple or siblings. She decided not to think too much and went to the street to sing.

Iwasiwa stood in her usual spot and started to sing. She saw that a lot of people glanced at her and turned their face away. She had gotten used to this kind of treatment and she didn't really care that much. She only wanted to sing without any worries. She continued to sing and saw a girl with a strange get-up crouched down in front of her watching her singing, 'Cosplay?'

Sakura and Haru walked around the street.

"Are you okay walking around?" Haru asked.

"It's okay, I have rested a lot of time," Sakura said.

"Let's sit down for a bit, I'm quite tired," Haru said, even though he wasn't really that tired, "Sit there, let me buy you a drink first."

Sakura was a bit tired and sat down. She watched him buy cold tea from the supermarket with a smile. She remembered that he tried to search for a singer for his game. She was kind of interested and also wanted to play it even though she knew it was a perverted game. She wanted to live longer but it seemed it was a bit hard. She was daydreaming until she felt her cheek was a bit cold, "Cold!"

"What are you thinking?" Haru said and gave the water to her.

"You're late!" Sakura said.

"My bad, the shop was quite crowded earlier," Haru said.

Sakura drank the cold tea in one gulp and looked very satisfied, "Let's go search for the singer again."

"Sure," Haru nodded and walked with her. He suddenly heard a familiar voice and grinned, "Let's go, I have found her."

"Her? Is it a girl?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, the singer is a girl," Haru said.

"You have never told me that?!" Sakura didn't expect that the singer would be a girl.

"Really? Well, her song is great, let's go," Haru said and picked her up.

"W - wait, don't carry me!"
