The Return of the World's Destructive Hero
Chapter 22: Misunderstanding

In the morning, Satoru feeds the horn rabbit he keeps in his backyard. At first the two rabbits were very aggressive and difficult to approach, but after many experiments both horn rabbits looked calmer.

"You see how they behave just like ordinary rabbits, only they have a horn on the head" Satoru muttered as he gave fresh carrots to the two rabbits.

After giving feed to the rabbit and filling his drinking water Satoru went to school. In front of the school gate he met Haruna who also just arrived.

"Eh, good morning Satoru-san..." Sapa Haruna with an awkward smile.

"Well, good morning also Haruna-san" Reply Satoru approached walking to Haruna. "What about your potion sales?" Asked Satoru curiously.

"Ehumm..well, then I go to my class first" Haruna nodded and immediately ran away from Satoru going towards her classroom.

Satoru was astonished by Haruna's unusual behavior. "Is he avoiding me?"

A short break arrived, Satoru went to look for Haruna in the alchemy club room. "Oh that's him" he muttered as he looked at Haruna who was concocting potions.

"Haruna-san!" Satoru greeted Haruna who was making potions on a table.

"Eh, Sa~ Satoru-san! what's up?" Haruna's face looked startled as she saw Satoru suddenly being beside her. He looked back and forth for an excuse to get out of the situation. "Ah, sorry I forgot my notebook, I'm sorry first" Haruna went straight from there leaving Satoru.

I'm being shunned, right? won't it?

Satoru doesn't know what's going on and Haruna avoids it. After school, Satoru goes to a training field to train Rey and her friends.

"What's up Satoru? your face looks sour" Rey asked.

"Ah, no" Satoru tried to smile and continued their practice. After one more week of training, their sword skills improved quite well.

"Then the training is over, we will continue tomorrow" Satoru said, returning the school's training sword to its place.

"If tomorrow doesn't seem like Satoru" Rey told me that tomorrow they won't be able to train.

Hearing that Satoru felt astonished "What's tomorrow?" He asked Rey out of curiosity.

"Tomorrow, there will be my sister's wedding. So I couldn't do the rehearsal, and my friends were invited to the show. Oh yes, you can also come tomorrow Satoru" Rey explained about the event that will happen tomorrow and invited Satoru to come.

So it's a royal wedding, I don't really want to go there, but I know Rey very well.

"Alright, I'll come tomorrow" Satoru said with a smile on his face. Rey gives Satoru an invitation letter and leaves with friends.

Satoru also went to the adventurer guild, on the way he saw Haruna who was carrying a box containing potions. Satoru approached her and tried to greet her. Haruna who saw Satoru approaching him immediately ran away trying to get away, until his feet tripped over a rock and fell.

At that moment Satoru immediately ran quickly and hugged Haruna and caught the box containing the potion. "Are you okay?" Ask Satoru.

"A~ I'm fine, thank you..." Haruna's face turned red and she lowered her head.

Satoru still holds the box containing the potion so that Haruna does not stay away from him. "So why are you avoiding me? did I do something bad to you by accident?" Satoru showed an astonished look and looked like he felt guilty.

Seeing the face of Satoru that was so close to his face, Haruna became misbehaved. "No.. ha~ it's just that I don't want to hurt your boyfriend if I'm close to you..."

"Pa~ car?" Satoru was astonished by what Haruna said. "What did you say?"

At that time Satoru realized that Haruna saw herself together with Airi yesterday. "Ah, that girl is Airi-san, she is the daughter of the owner of the Star Santuary company. I don't have that kind of relationship with him" Satoru explained the truth.

"really?" Haruna tried to confirm it again.

"Of course, oh yeah, what if you sell potions there? I will try to tell Airi-san so that you can sell the potion there" Satoru said.

"Eh no, there is no way that the low-grade potions I made can compete with the famous potion makers there..." Haruna said with pessimism.

Satoru who saw Haruna's pessimistic face immediately turned around and walked carrying the box containing the potion to the Star Santuary company building.

"S~ S~ Satoru...? a~what do you want to do?" Haruna trembled while in front of the building.

Satoru walked in and was salaed by the workers there warmly. Seeing that, Haruna became confused to see that the workers valued Satoru so much.

"Oh, Satoru-san! what do you need today?" Welcome Airi with a smile. Just then looking at a woman beside Satoru, her face seemed to look slightly irritated "Hey, Satoru-san who is the woman beside you? Is she not your boyfriend?" He said with a cold smile.

"T~ no we don't have that kind of relationship..." Said Haruna with a red face.

Airi looked at Haruna who was looking embarrassed because of her words just now. "So what do you want to do here? there's no way you're just gonna introduce this new girl to me, right?" Said Airi who looked quite upset.

"A~ Airi-san... Why do you look so angry?" Satoru asked in astonishment at Airi who suddenly looked angry at him.

"I'm not angry!" Airi directly denied Satoru's remarks. "So what do you want?" Ask Airi again.

"Ah, I would like to ask, can you accept this potion for sale at your place?" Satoru showed the potion that was inside the box he held on Airi.

"Potions? did that girl make this?" Said Airi while holding a potion in her hand.

Both Airi's eyes were shining, he was using his appraiser's eye skill to assess the price of the potion. "This!!? hey, your name is Haruna-san, isn't it?" Airi looked surprised after examining the potion.

"I~ yes!" Haruna spontaneously replied when Airi called out to her.

"Did you really make it?" Ask Airi seriously.

Haruna nodded with a serious look. At that moment Airi smiled and stretched out her hand "Haruna-san do you want to work at the Star Santuary company?"

"Eh?! eeeeeehhhh!!!!!???" Haruna was surprised to hear that. "A~what did you say Airi-sama... sa~ I work here? but I'm not sure of my ability" Haruna said pessimistically.

"What are you saying! the potions you make are better than the potions on the market. Although at the same glance, the healing provided by your potion is 20% higher than the circulating potion. You have good talent Haruna-san!" Airi praised Haruna enthusiastically and told her about her great talent to build confidence in her.

"Be~ really...?" Haruna said in disbelief.

Airi nodded with a serious face. Haruna turned her head towards Satoru, and the man smiled at her.

"Alright, I will do my best under your auspices Airi-sama!" Said Haruna looking down.

"Airi, no need to add kan-sama. Just call me Airi yah, Haruna" Airi said with a sweet smile.

On that day a bond was formed indirectly from the two girls.
