We also took pre-zing Hahari from the past (like this is right before the zing), so we could conduct this test to see what both Haharis ethics and morals are to a crying child who needs comfort after her mother decided to be a Cu-Kzzzzzt-SHHHHHHHHHHHHH, evil bit-Kzzzzzt-SHHHHHHHHHHHHH, horrible mother to her.

Also, we have line recordings of every insane things pre-zing Hahari said, even in private as we'll blast it through the speakers for everyone to hear to see if she is true to her word and will maybe "crush the pests," as she said she would and maybe take "Rentarou to a place no one will see him again," if she actually has it in her as one of the girls is a crying and trembling mess on the floor for this experiment. As she would do "anything," to protect her love ones (and this pre-zing Hahari just caught them breaking into her property) as we'll hold her to her word as well as current Hahari on their choices and actions here.

Also, Rentarou closed his eyes so he doesn't mess up the experiment with pre-zing Hahari as she must do this without outside interference. He also isn't allowed to help Shizuka as this is a Hahari experiment not a "Rentarou experiment," so we'll have him see the results from both Haharis.

The other girlfriends can't be in the same room, not even Nano or Mei as they might interfere with the outcome. Also, current Shizuka can't be in the room either as she'll also interfere with the outcome.

As this is just a Hahari test in this situation as it is a controlled experiment of morality and ethics of an individual.

We could also make it spicy where they have to deal with Shizuka separately where they can't see each other's choice to make it just boil down to their own moral and ethics as opposed to what the other one does.

Enlistment age for Japan around this time was 20 during WW1 as they were strictly a naval/support power during WW1.

Japanese involvement in WW1 (Summarized as I could talk about the topic for days):

• Joined in 1914. It was mainly in the Pacific to deal with the fleets that the Germans had in that zone as the British were dealing with the Central Powers (Germany, Austro-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria). Also, a pre-established treaty from 1902.
• Besieging German ports in China in 1914.
• The siege of Tsingtao (Qingdao) August 27 – November 7, 1914.
• 29 September-21 October 1914, The Japanese occupy: The Marshall islands, the Mariana islands, the Palau Islands, and the Caroline Islands. All of German Micronesia except anything south of the equator like German New Guinea, German Samoa, and Nauru which were captured and divided among British, Australian, and New Zealand forces.
• September 1914: The Ibuki arrives to assist ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) in escorting the transports of soldiers to their destinations as they left Albany (along with the HMAS Melbourne, HMAS Sydney, and the HMS Minotaur). In November 9th near the Cocos the SMS Emden was spotted and the Ibuki was ready to fight, but was ordered to stay with the convoy as the Sydney was sent to fight the Emden and the carrier ship the SS Buresk at the battle of Cocos as the Ibuki stayed with the transports with the other ships. After the battle the transports arrived in Egypt in December.
• October-December 1914: Japan sends nurses and doctors to the Western Front in Paris, Petrograd (turned to Leningrad, now Saint Petersburg), and Southampton. 15 months added to their service in those areas.
• 1915: The Twenty One Demands to Yuan Shikai (The president of China 12 December 1915 – 22 March 1916 [Also, had 1 legal wife and 9 concubines and loved his leading concubines Lady Shen, Lady Yang, and his three Korean concubines Lady Lee, Lady Kim, and Lady O more than his wife. He also had 17 sons and 17 daughters totaling 32 children]). Back on track as it got way too off topic, the Twenty One Demands were for Japan to turn China into a Japanese protectorate and at the cost of European powers privileges in their respective spheres of influence within China. Also, anything the Japanese took in China (the ports from the Germans) were now under Japanese control which will be important in WW2. Japan removes the last 5 demands  where they would've used Japanese advisors to take control of the economy and police. It was criticized and rejected and the Japanese shortened it to 13 points with reputation consequences and that Japan missed out on gaining control of China and only kept the land they took during the fighting. Treaty was signed on May 25th 1916.
• February 1915 Japanese ships were deployed to Singapore to help suppress the 1915 Singapore mutiny.
• 1917: Two of the four cruisers sent to Singapore were sent to Cape Town, South Africa and four Japanese destroyers were sent towards Malta in the Mediterranean. The cruiser Akashi and eight destroyers follow it to Malta to support the other ships. The fleet in the Mediterranean equalled out to 3 cruisers and 12 destroyers accompanied by  other ships of different nationalities. Escorting and defending ships through the entire Mediterranean battling against submarine warfare, resulting in Japan bringing back 7 submarines once the war ended.
• 1918: The Russian Civil War picks up and the Allied powers and Japan send troops to aid the White armies of Russia against the Reds. (It didn't work in the end in 1922 when they lost).
• 1918: Japan also tries to expand its influences into China. Also, Japan had a huge boom after the war increasing imports and exports.
• 1919: Treaty of Versailles gave Japan all of the land they took and occupied during WW1. In 1922, they had to give Shandong back due to pressure from the Chinese. But they were still in control of the expenses there.

My crazy chapter ideas or crazy things are: 

• Hahari gets swarmed by Momiji clones.
• Hahari shrinks back into a teenager and has a double date with Rentarou with Hakari
• Meme writes a very horny fanfic and accidentally kills Mai and has to revive her by dressing up like Rentarou only for Rentarou to show up and Meme is wearing the sunglasses
• Iku slowly gets turned into a dog and she still talks as a dog before her vocal cords fully change into a full dog
• Iku switches bodies with Rentarou and tests out his pain resistance
• Rentarou turns into a girl
• Bully Aijou
• Mei’s Heat
• Iku breaks a bone and Kusuri accidentally vanishes it while trying to help her
• Uto enters wonderland
• Karane enters an auditorium and sees that it is packed with dogs and gets attacked by a chihuahua

The image is just there to calm the nerves as Meru and Shizuka are always calm.

1. When you apply the birthdays Hahari, she was in her second year as a 13 year old when she had Hakari as stated (first years at middle school like Chiyo start out at 12 heading to 13, second years like Uto [on her birthday reference] starts at 13 heading to 14). Then Hahari turns 14 on May 12th and still had Hakari on 6/22 of the same year. Here comes the very heartwarming bit that actually made me cry with happiness. That it is actually deeply personal of when you consider yourself the the mother of your child (either before or after delivery), from Hahari's perspective she is the mother of Hakari at 13 as she was making sacrifices and providing care for her as she is her mother since conception that she carried out by 13. Because Hahari has a strong loving aura that she'll still love everyone even if they aren't there yet or had already parted. She is still Hakari's mother since conception at 13 regardless of interpretation.

2. Birthday applied Kishika is already 18 in the Spring with a birthday in October and she acts like it (except when she doesn't). Potential reasons are either held back at some point or a rare exception of joining in later. Don't see a problem with Kishika as there are moments where she acts like the mature one in the room vs when she isn't, all of which aren't her fault as she had to deal with so much when she was younger.

3. Birthday applied, the last one is heartwarming when thought about with Nano and Shizuka as they are both in the same grade and Shizuka is actually older than Nano (11/01 and 3/14 respectively). And this relationship could be seen as extremely wholesome as Nano being the younger between them helps out her older peer who is smaller and needs protection as she is precious and it is the duty of the younger one to support the elder one. Also, could be seen as a relationship between them from how close they are regardless of age, but it is a nice detail between them when viewed as such even if they are in the same year of high school as they just started their high school. Also, who wouldn't protect Shizuka as everyone would be there to provide assistance for her regardless of if she is younger or older than whoever protects her.

Don't believe, here's evidence:

Students in Japanese schooling born from April 2nd-April 1st the next year are grouped into the same grade.

Japanese schools follow a 6-3-3 system.

ELMN-Elementary

JHS- Junior High School or Middle School

HS- High School

Age Grade in Japan schooling School Year in Japan
Apr - Mar
3-4 Kindergarten
4-5 Kindergarten
5-6 Kindergarten
6-7 ELMN 1
7-8 ELMN 2
8-9 ELMN 3
9-10 ELMN 4
10-11 ELMN 5
11-12 ELMN 6

13-14 JHS 2
14-15 JHS 3
15-16 HS 1
16-17 HS 2
17-18 HS 3

Up to interpretation, but still interesting to view with the birthdays.

Not like that being the same age and getting older that year wasn't an option as Eira is also 19 like Mei and turning 20 in June. Saki just turned 18 that Spring so Kishika who was 18 for longer since October and should be turning 19 that year should've corrected Saki here. Also, "Kishika's Family" has a nice ring to it and then shift it over to "Mei's Family," as Mei would've been next after Kishika. I don't think Kishika would've let Saki run around like that without correcting her and instead she just stood there twidling her thumbs as Saki walked around without getting corrected on it.

Also, looking good Mei!

Also, I really want to know who helped Hahari here as she legally couldn't consent to the procedure being underage and all.

I threw in a character sheet of Mei to have a better examination of the back of her head to check (Also, I like Mei so double win.)

Let’s start the audit shall we (I had to fuse some images together manga style so bear with me) [Also, if can't follow the sentences then try findingb the bolded words]:

Images 1-2: Hahari stated that she would do “anything” like “the only thing left to do is take Aijou Rentarou, to a place where you can never ever see him again, you know.” And I take her up on her offer to do that, what cool methods does she have in place for him? Okay, we got some momentum, but why is Hahari patting Hakari on the head then taking her into a hug. Empathy at a time like this is a sign of weakness, by even comforting her instead of letting her cry on the floor. Even if it kills her, I’ll hold her to her word that if she can protect Hakari, she’ll do fine. I’ll also hold her to pests gathering around her flower being crushed. Sounds impressive, what methods does she have planned kicking them off cliffs, getting crushed by heavy machinery, or crushing their dignities because I want to see the crushing. 
Image 3: Hahari, why is there nothing at the top of the wall? Like, why isn’t there anything that would scare off trespassers or injure them if they attempt to climb the walls? I’m suggesting barbed wire or having the metal point up where the metal points would poke the intruders and if they pass the barbed wire, they could get cut and bleed and if possible give them an infection.
Image 4: You left a pet door unsupervised? What if your cat runs off the property and gets hit by a car? And why is the lock in an easily aimable place where rocks can move the lock? Also, if Karane felt like it, could silently pull the door off its hinges if she wanted to. Also, Nano or Kusuri could’ve had a screwdriver to open this door as there doesn’t seem to be alarms or any guards watching that door.
Image 5: That dog is too small to maul anyone and why only one, you're rich? They are better in numbers as an intruder or many will target that dog as they have no back up if they charge with lethal intent. That dog is more of a barking and growling dog and isn’t big enough to take down a full grown person. Next to Shizuka, that dog is small, a real threat would take them out in seconds as their only sign of hostility is growling and just walks up and licks Shizuka with no biting or clawing, or pouncing or barking.
Images 6-7: The laser hallway is just dumb. Alarms, really? They should be set to cut anything that passes as alarms are useless as you give them an opportunity to run all the way through as the bad security falls for a cat triggering it. They could also EMP the hallway and shut off all the laser sensors and with Kusuri she could easily make a drug that EMPs the hallway on the spot. They could also find the powerbox and shut it off or if they really hate it, they could just smash the powerbox stopping power until it is fixed. They could also climb the walls as they don't reach that high seemingly. Or they could skip the hallway altogether and melt a window out of its frame later down the hallway and continue on their merry way.
Also, what is wrong with the security, where did Hahari even get these thugs from? They aren’t intimidating, they fall for a cat or people acting like cats, they don’t properly search the parameter, and nobody is armed with anything. A martial artist would rip them apart, especially if they fought armies before or are carrying a weapon. Especially if they resort to silent takedowns either non-lethal or lethal. The security only have numbers going for them when they can reach the target to restrain, but if the intruder is packed or has the intent to kill, the guards won’t stand a chance.
Image 8: NEVER BRING UP Mercy!!! This is literally like putting lasers on sharks and either not having the lasers or not having the sharks, useless bits of information to tell your “captives.” What if they are carrying stuff under their coats as nobody checked Karane or Rentarou before this? What if they use things hidden in their coat to dispose of your security? The guards still aren’t armed here. Also, they should’ve been restrained before getting here as you have risked safety hazards for everyone involved. Also, you had so many opportunities to crush them before this point, before they even got on the property, why is your security “a laughing stock.” Also, I want to see you prove you’ll do anything by taking Shizuka and scaring her, I bet you won’t last a full minute before your maternal instincts to kick in and see the damage Shizuka’s mother did (hope she gets a name and gets added to the villains wiki for being a C**t to Shizuka!)
Anyway back on track, search them for any dangerous objects, don’t give away your game by revealing your weakness, have guards next to them if not comfortable with restraining. Also, crush them in a place no one will look and tell Hakari something like Rentarou loving her for the money or something, unless you don’t have the heart to do it and everything earlier was just stuff you pulled out of a soap opera Tsuki Uzaki watches?
Image 9: I’ll be nice and give you some points for the lie detector as it’ll definitely throw off people expecting anything else. Also, who the F is that guy bringing it in, we don’t ever see him again, a butler? Sorry off track again, why does it beep and not electrocute whoever lies as it could give you a better response as they’ll find it difficult to lie and as you said before “you’ll crush them.” Also, nice touch with the camera, but is it live or are you going to show Hakari the footage later? Also, keep the beep but also have it shock as it will help you assert dominance. Lie detectors could also be fooled by an increase in blood pressure, thinking you’re telling the truth by believing it all the way, or giving the most vague explanations ever to avoid giving a straight answer.
Images 10-11: Why is Hahari panicking her and heading towards Rentarou and Hakari? Why did the guards only just intervene to try and try to pull them back in through the window instead of following exactly as Hakari slid where Rentarou went to hold her? I can understand why she would be scared for Hakari because she is all she has left of Hakari’s father. Why is she reaching for Rentarou like Karane is here? I thought she wanted him gone and I thought she would do "anything," so him turning into paste on the pavement shouldn’t worry Hahari as much as Hakari hitting the ground. I mean didn’t she want him gone or killed as she is supposed to be “willing to destroy anyone or anything that threatens her loved ones,” and here a dead Rentarou should be treated like a bird hitting a window (sorry Yamame, I’ll make a appreciation post about you soon, I promise.) 
Post window incident: What do you mean thank goodness and why are you saying if Rentaro knew what would’ve happened if he didn't land in that fountain? What is Hahari on about? You can’t play the “I was worried about your safety,” card when you have stated “you’ll do anything, even if it costs you your life.” And threatened him, and had been intense the whole time, and for scaring the flowers out of Hakari the entire day. Like, wouldn’t you have cheered if Rentarou splatted into paste on the pavement as it would’ve gotten rid of your problem as you would have “killed” him and ended your problem there like you wanted. I thought she was talking about a grave, what is she talking about now wasn't there a set up grave for him? Like make up your mind whether you hate him and want him to die or you never wanted him dead in the first place and was just trying to be scary, make up your mind please and be consistent! I don’t even want to know how the other Hanazono relatives act compared to Hahari and Hakari.

Let’s run a test, if some thug (comes out of nowhere) held Rentarou at gunpoint (model gun) in front of pre-zing Hahari, would she do everything in her power to save him or would she let the thug take Rentarou away?

Anyway, this was just supposed to be good fun of auditing everything and trying to get out some things I had at the back of my head for a while and just needed some answers for and to pick into them. Gets an F for everything with the security. But I’ll give her an A for empathy and for being a lover and not a psychotic murderer. In actuality, I don’t see her as a psychotic murderer, I just see a mother who overacts, talks big with little to no pay off, and a sexy mother who just tries her best even if she could be a bit much when it comes to it, but she is well meaning in the end and just needs love in her life again.

Also, I never did this style of post before.

Also, don't forget to purchase your own Momiji for roughly $150.00 or roughly ¥23,592

What did everyone possibly get Mei for her birthday?
