Chapter 358: Chisato Hasegawa
In early October, stores in Japan had put up labels for the National Day celebrations of the neighboring major country.
Amid this festive atmosphere, Haruto pushed open the door to the infirmary at Kuoh Academy.
After wasting the primordial yin essence of several beautiful girls and being stuck just short of the divine level for over twenty days without any progress, he decided to have a serious talk with Chisato Hasegawa.
Logically speaking, being stuck at this bottleneck for years, decades, even centuries—or even failing to break through in one's entire lifetime—would be normal.
However, Haruto had been cultivating for less than two years so far. Combined with his unique dual cultivation talent, these twenty-plus days felt particularly long.
Most importantly, he had already embarked on the path to becoming the ultimate powerhouse, and now he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.
If he stopped, those who coveted the secret of his dual cultivation ability, as well as beauties like Rias, would soon make his life a living hell.
Sirzechs could protect him temporarily, but not forever.
Moreover, what Haruto desired wasn't just a single lifetime, but eternity.
If there were no opportunity, he might have given up. But since the chance existed, even without external threats, he wouldn't halt his pursuit of strength.
Now, the hidden external threats merely made his timeline tighter, leaving no room for leisurely development.
As long as Haruto maintained his rapid growth in power, those old schemers wouldn't dare risk offending a genius whose potential might surpass theirs at any moment.
As for why he ultimately chose Chisato Hasegawa among the four candidates...
Beyond convenience, Haruto naturally wanted to develop a relationship with this captivating older sister—with her sleek black hair reaching her hips, a fiery and seductive figure, stunning looks, and spirited demeanor, she was irresistible in every aspect.
Of course, aside from that, his decision to inquire about godhood from Chisato Hasegawa was also based on his certainty that even if he failed, there would be no danger.
After observing for nearly half a year, Haruto confirmed that Chisato Hasegawa still had her powers sealed.
Though her reason for coming to the human world had changed after the timeline shift—no longer to protect Toujou Basara—the restriction against freely using her power remained the same.
This green-eyed beauty, who loved wearing black thigh-highs, had been working as the school doctor at Kuoh Academy even before Haruto made contact with the Naruse sisters.
Many events had occurred during this period, yet she seemed uninvolved, without even the slightest intention to intervene.
If not for overhearing discussions about Chisato Hasegawa—especially from the boys—every day at school, Haruto might have forgotten about this goddess.
This time, not only did he want to "seek guidance," but he also aimed to uncover why Chisato Hasegawa persistently remained at Kuoh Academy as the school doctor.
"Ms. Hasegawa."
Haruto greeted Chisato Hasegawa, who sat poised behind her desk. After scanning the room to ensure no other students were present, he immediately deployed a barrier.
Chisato's page-turning hand paused almost imperceptibly. She then adjusted her red glasses and asked calmly, "Student, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Her tone was somewhat masculine, yet her voice was enchantingly delicate, paradoxically accentuating her feminine charm and alluring charisma.
Even draped in a loose white coat, her scorching curves were perfectly outlined.
Haruto estimated that this black-stocking-clad school doctor's bust was even larger than Mio Naruse's—so much so that her green knit sweater seemed on the verge of bursting.
Those heavy fruits, perched above her slender waist, made one worry she might strain her back.
Coupled with the goddess's innate passive aura, even Haruto—who had seen countless beauties—was momentarily mesmerized. No wonder the high school boys couldn't stop talking about their school doctor.
"Ms. Hasegawa, I'd like to ask you a question."
"I'm just a school nurse. If you have questions, you should go to the subject teachers."
Chisato Hasegawa remained unmoved, as if genuinely unaware of the magical barrier isolating the school infirmary.
"This particular question can only be answered by you, Ms. Hasegawa."
Haruto looked directly at Chisato Hasegawa's strikingly beautiful face and came straight to the point: "I want to know how to complete the second Life transformation and reach God-level."
Chisato Hasegawa gave Haruto a deep look. At this point, continuing to pretend would be meaningless.
Unless she truly intended to avoid all involvement and simply live in seclusion in the human world.
But that was clearly impossible - if she really wanted seclusion, she wouldn't have chosen to come to Kuoh Academy.
As one of the Ten Chief Gods, how could she not know the true nature of Kuoh Academy?
Chisato Hasegawa pushed herself up from the desk with both hands. "It's work hours now. If you want to know, come to my house with me after school this afternoon."
When she stood up, her stunning figure became even more apparent, and Haruto couldn't help but steal several glances at her alluring black-stockinged legs.
It wasn't just because of Chisato Hasegawa's inherent beauty - an instinct deep in his soul told him that if he could win over this goddess before him, he would gain tremendous benefits.
"Alright."
Suppressing the restlessness in his body, Haruto dispersed the barrier and decisively left the infirmary.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he might do something embarrassing.
Chisato Hasegawa wasn't affected by his protagonist aura or charm abilities, but from the current situation, her favorability toward him seemed decent, at least friendly.
If his favorability dropped due to rude behavior, that would truly be gaining little at great cost.
As for whether going to Chisato Hasegawa's home might be a trap, Haruto thought the possibility was very low.
More importantly, Chisato Hasegawa had no reason to target him.
If she was unwilling to communicate, she could have directly refused or continued pretending to be ordinary.
Haruto wasn't so blind that he couldn't see this much. If things became impossible, he would seek other methods.
At 5:10 PM, Haruto sat in Chisato Hasegawa's red sports car.
Chisato Hasegawa still wore her usual calm expression, as if nothing could disturb her emotions.
"Sorry to keep you waiting," she said to Haruto in the passenger seat while driving.
Japanese high schools typically finish classes early to allow one or two hours for club activities.
Kuoh Academy's school day ends at 2:30 PM, with club activities concluding at 5 PM.
Most sports clubs would stay until 5, and school nurses must remain until all students have left.
Otherwise, if a student gets injured, there would be no one to provide emergency treatment.
Originally, students with minor scrapes wouldn't come to the infirmary, but ever since Chisato Hasegawa became the school nurse, injured students would visit every day after school.
Kuoh Academy had relatively few male students, and even fewer in sports clubs, but they couldn't resist the goddess's charm that appealed to both genders.
So Haruto had stayed with Chisato Hasegawa until 5 PM, waiting until all students had left school before they headed home together.
"Not at all, I'm the one troubling you, Ms. Hasegawa."
Haruto smiled and said: "I never realized how demanding the school nurse's job could be beyond regular hours."
"It's actually not usually this crowded with students," Chisato Hasegawa said calmly. "Probably some girls spread the word that you're in the infirmary."
Haruto froze for a moment before offering an apologetic smile as he realized what she meant.
He'd forgotten about his effect on girls.
No wonder so many girls seemed to be glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally earlier. He thought they were just curious since it was strange for him to be staying in the infirmary for so long.
Turns out he had been their target all along.
However, perhaps because Chisato Hasegawa—a top-tier beautiful older sister—was present, the girls lacked confidence. They just enjoyed the view without anyone actively approaching Haruto to ask for his contact information.
Although Chisato Hasegawa was a teacher and Haruto was a second-year student, Haruto's reputation... well, at Kuoh Academy he essentially had no reputation to speak of.
Rumors claimed that every attractive person—whether teacher, student, or even students' mothers—had been involved with Haruto.
The origin was untraceable, but it started when someone saw Haruto and Kalawarna kissing in a stairwell corner.
They hadn't planned to continue at the time, so they weren't particularly cautious. Who would have thought that just a brief kiss, lasting barely ten seconds, would be witnessed?
Haruto wanted to chase after the witness and use mental magic, but Kalawarna stopped him, deeming it unnecessary.
And indeed it was unnecessary. No matter how the rumors spread, they couldn't affect Haruto and Kalawarna.
Some people in the academy's upper echelons were just that arrogant.
Even if there was evidence, nothing would happen to them—let alone when there was none.
So why would girls still throw themselves at him despite his terrible reputation?
Think about those internet goddesses—even after being with countless people, some still pay thousands for a single encounter.
Many girls felt they'd even pay to have a night with Haruto.
Unfortunately, given Haruto's current standards, ordinary beauties no longer caught his eye.
Actually, from another perspective, this was for their own good.
