Although one day Haruto had to leave town following his father after his parents divorced. Knowing that, Miharu kept crying asking Haruto to stay, Haruto then promised to one day coming back to her and at that time he will marry her.

Both of them then grow up while holding the promises close, bettering themselves waiting for the day they meet again.

Relationships

 * Rio/Amakawa Haruto
 * Ayase Miharu is Amakawa Haruto (Rio's previous incarnation)'s 1st love and childhood friend. Before they separated when they were 9 years old, they made a promise to married when they were adult. Due to that promise, both of them worked hard in every aspects to be a better man/woman for the other party. When they reached the age to enter High School, Haruto returns to the city where Miharu was and managed to enter the same school by chance. After knowing that through the class listing, he went out to search for her. However, upon seeing the seemingly close relationship between Miharu and Takahisa, Haruto ran away and missed the chance to reunite with Miharu as he mistook Miharu and Takahisa relationship. After few days of hesitation, Haruto decided to talk to Miharu face-to-face to remove the regret for not facing her. However, the regret cannot be eliminated as Miharu went missing (she was transmigrated to another world). Haruto carried this regret till the end of his life when he lost his life during a traffic accident.


 * In volume 4, the reincarnated Haruto, Rio, found Miharu and co. in the forest. Rio was confused of how to interact with her again as his moral values were different from those when he was Amakawa Haruto. He also detested the idea of involving Miharu and those he holds dear into his revenge toward Lucius. This stemmed form the fact that he felt guilty of killing people despite being necessary. Hence, he felt that he is not qualified to be close to her nor is he qualified to attain happiness.


 * Later, Aisia bestow a dream upon Miharu, a dream about Haruto after they separated and Rio before they reunited again. This spurred Miharu to approach Rio more aggressively (it is only aggressively when compared to her usual shy/timid personality).


 * Aisia also warn Miharu that Rio is kind but cowardly person as he doesn't want people he love to enter his life because he may end up hurting them. She also says if Miharu want to stay by Haruto's side once more there's one opportunity to do so, when he revealed his true identity and tells her not to run away if that opportunity comes. Thanks to Satsuki who give Haruto advice he can accept himself and Miharu once again. She later tells Sendou Takahisa that she's in love with Haruto as his past and as Rio, Takahisa attempt to kidnap Miharu but Rio came and saving her (also carried her like a princess).


 * While in WN, Miharu keeps comparing Rio with the previous Haruto, Miharu realizes that she's totally fine just being around Haruto though he supposedly are stranger boy, later on, Aishia put Haruto's life in japan as a dream to Miharu without explanation, completely scaring her, when she reunited with Takahisa and he hugged her, the dream comeback and Miharu completely flipped out, trying to tell Haruto that watching confusedly that he got it wrong, when Takahisa asks her to come with him to Stellar Kingdom, Miharu refuses him and stated that she want to stay with Haruto, in the party, Haruto confessed his love to Miharu, so clearly without letting any chance of misunderstanding, but before he confessed who he was and Miharu answers, their confession got disturbed by Aki and Takahisa, she then get forcefully taken away by Takahisa to Stellar kingdom, and only several month later she know who Haruto is after Lilyana gives her Haruto letter that Takahisa took.

 * Their relationship start to crack after their reunion, out of sense of relief after meeting again, Takahisa just hugged Miharu suddenly, scaring her, and then Miharu's decision to stay with Haruto that completely collapsed Takahisa's little dream, and after Takahisa's stunt of deceiving Miharu and taking her by force to Saint Stellar, they are pretty much in a cold war with Miharu refusing to interact in any way with him.
