1719 Treasure Hunt

Haru had to admit that he was glad that he dated Megumi. After all, even though her presence was quite unnoticeable, she really had an aura that could make anyone feel calm and comfortable beside her, so because of her, everyone's relationship was warming up, and they quickly became very close to each other. Of course, they learned that two girls hadn't been eaten by him.

Kotori and Maki, who listened to everyone's experience, could only open their mouths wide. After all, they had never tasted that forbidden act. Still, listening to their experience, they knew very well that Haru was really good at it, or rather, he could make everyone became crazy about him because of his ability at the bed.

It seemed that everyone had made an appointment to play together, and last night, they also stayed together, sleeping together, talking a lot of things together, etc., still, in the morning, they went home, after all, Eli, Nozomi, Maki, and Kotori had their own family, and they might need some time before they moved to Haru's house, except for Sakura, since she didn't hesitate and moved to his house, her parents also didn't say anything about it, since sooner or later, their daughter would become Haru's bride after all.

When the four of them left, Haru suddenly announced something amazing.

"Huh? You're going to India?!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Why are you going to India, dear?" Raikou asked curiously.

"I'm going to do a treasure hunt," Haru said since he remembered that there was a hidden treasure that hadn't been opened in India, and he thought to get it.

"You're serious?" Kirari asked in surprise.

"You think that I'm joking?" Haru asked.

Kirari nodded and asked, "Yes. I thought that you were joking before."

"..." Haru.

"How long are you going to be there?" Erina asked since she knew that Japan and India were very far apart, and she was sure that his trip would take a few days or so, but she didn't want to be separated from him.

"No, it is just a few hours of travel," Haru said.

"Few hours?!"

"......"

Sakura blinked her eyes and asked, "How are you going to do that?"

"With magic," Haru said simply.

"........"

"Say, who wants to go with me to India? I'll just get the treasure and be swift with it," Haru said while looking at everyone.

"Me!"

Everyone said and raised their hands without hesitation. They knew that Haru was a magician, but they had never seen him often use his ability, so they were pretty much curious.

Haru then looked at Megumi and asked, "Megumi, if possible, can you use your ability when we have arrived there?" After all, what he was doing was a crime since he was stealing the treasure in India, so he wanted to hide his presence and didn't want anyone to know about his deeds.

"Sure." Megumi nodded.

---

Raikou was alright since she knew about Haru's power, but Kirari, Erina, Utaha, Megumi, Sakura, and Sora were a bit dumbfounded with his power.

"Is this teleportation?" Utaha asked.

"Um." Haru nodded and said, "Well, let's go." He then used his light magic to reflect the light around them and walked directly to Padmanabhaswamy Temple.

There was a few hours of time difference between Japan and India, when they went out, it was early in the morning, and in India, it was still dawn, which was why there weren't that many people around the temple.

Raikou patted everyone's back and said, "Let's talk while walking."

Everyone nodded and also started to walk together. Even though it was dawn, they could see that there were still some people there, whether they were a guard or some people who went to pray in the temple.

"Haru, what kind of temple is this?" Sakura asked.

"This is Padmanabhaswamy Temple," Haru said.

"Do you think that there's a treasure here?" Sora asked.

"Um." Haru nodded.

"Can you tell us the source of the treasure?" Kirari asked.

"Hmm, based on what I know, those treasures are believed to have been accumulated in the temple over several thousands of years, having been donated to the Deity, and subsequently stored in the Temple, by various Dynasties, such as the Cheras, the Pandyas, the Kolathiris, the Pallavas, the Cholas, the Travancore Royal Family and many other Kings in the recorded history of both South India and beyond, and from the rulers and traders of Mesopotamia, Jerusalem, Greece, Rome, and later from the various colonial powers from Europe, and other countries," Haru said.

"........" Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Is this alright? I mean, they're a huge wealth, right? Is it really alright that we're going to get it?" Sakura asked unsurely. After all, those were the treasures of the people in India, right? She felt that it wasn't good to take those treasures.

"Sakura, this is where you're wrong." Utaha shook her head.

"Wrong?" Sakura titled her head and felt confused.

"This is a treasure hunt." Utaha looked at Sakura and said, "If we don't take it, I'm sure that someone will take it, and the one who is going to take it might not be someone from India too, or rather, it might be other people."

Kirari nodded and said, "With that amount of wealth that has accumulated over centuries, it can blind anyone, and to get that wealth, they might fight each other, so it is better to take that wealth, so no one is going to fight, right?"

"Well..." Sakura somehow felt their reason was quite logical.

"Still, I won't say that what I'm doing isn't a crime, but I'm doing this for everyone's goods," Haru said.

"Huh?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Why do you think that I've decided to take the treasures?" Haru asked.

"Because of your greed?" Megumi asked.

"....You're not wrong, but with all of my wealth, I can't spend all of that wealth, so who is going to take that wealth?" Haru asked.

"Our descendant?" Kirari asked.

"Yes." Haru nodded and said, "I'm sure that my children will have some of my talents, but no one really knows in the future, right? So even if their aptitude is quite average, at least they won't have to worry about eating or living with all that wealth." He was sure that his children wouldn't be average, and he was sure that they would be full of talents, but what about the next thousand of years or something?

Hearing Haru's words, they nodded. After all, they knew that they would have his children in the future, even if their children were alright, then what about the next one?

"Well, let's open the treasure, alright?" Haru smiled then said, "Stay back for a bit, the air inside the temple isn't good, and there might be poison since it hasn't been opened for a century."

They nodded and stepped back for a bit from Haru.

Haru then used his device to cause disruption around the satellite in the world, then opened the temple with his "Sticky Finger."

Everyone saw a huge zipper was opened, and then they were dumbfounded when they saw a huge amount of wealth in front of him and knew that they had successfully gotten the treasure!
