Anyway, Let’s Fill Our Stomachs First

At Yotsuba's request, Haruto helped Mai catch two goldfish, then pulled Yotsuba away and left.

"Kuromori-san, I'm leaving~"

"Yotsuba, wait for me to come see you at night."

"I don't want to, Kuromori-san is a pervert~"

Yotsuba stuck out her tongue, glared at him, then quickly left carrying a small water bag.

Who's next?

There were still Nino and Itsuki who hadn't appeared yet.

Haruto took out his phone and checked the time. More than half an hour had passed since he saw Miku.

According to Yoruha's report, Shoko and Yukino were now together.

"I just said that the daily routine would be reduced in the future, and I wouldn't have much time to spend with them."

"But it seems that they misunderstood something."

Haruto put down his phone.

If he explained to them right now, it would only be counterproductive.

So explanations were impossible.

It's best for everyone to live in peace.

Haruto felt that he might be thinking too much.

If he was an ordinary person, he would have been called to the roof long ago, and a bloody end would be staged.

"Haruto, good evening."

A sweet and gentle voice sounded. Haruto turned around and saw a girl with headphones walking with small steps.

This calm pace, and this polite tone.

This is Itsuki.

Haruto stepped towards Itsuki and said, "Good evening, Itsuki."

"Eh?"

Itsuki showed her surprise, then walked quickly to his side and said with a smile, "Kuromori-kun, you recognized me?"

"Um."

Haruto looked above Itsuki's head: "There's no ahoge hair. Itsuki without ahoge hair has no soul."

"What~ Kuromori-kun, don't always worry about the ahoge hair!"

Itsuki glared at him angrily, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Kuromori-kun, please wait a moment."

She turned around and walked to a secluded corner. After a while, the ahoge hair popped out.

Seeing Haruto looking at her ahoge hair, Itsuki bit her lip, then jumped into his arms and immediately poked him with her silly hair.

Haruto rested his chin on Itsuki's forehead: "You're going too far."

"Hmph~"

Itsuki snorted, took a step back, glared at him angrily, then grabbed his arm and dragged him away.

"Let's go!"

After walking for a while, Itsuki pursed her lips, then said softly: "Sorry, Kuromori-kun, I always bother you. But we can't help you with anything."

Haruto reminded: "Actually, there are a few. Have you ever heard of a cheer-up program?"

"Cheer-up program?"

Itsuki looked curiously: "Kuromori-kun, what is it?"

"A cheer-up programmer, as the name suggests, is a job that encourages and boosts their mood to achieve better work efficiency."

Haruto said: "This kind of job is usually done by beautiful women."

Itsuki was a little surprised: "Is there such a job?"

"There is."

Haruto nodded lightly, "So it doesn't mean you're doing nothing. At least, you make me feel good."

Itsuki looked up with wide eyes: "Really?"

Haruto gave an example: "For example, when Itsuki kisses me, and when I touch Itsuki's stomach, I will feel very comfortable, and then my mood will be happy."

*BAM!*

Itsuki clenched Haruto's hand and said angrily: "If Kuromori-kun talks nonsense again, I'll ignore you."

"Itsuki is so cute?"

"Hmph~ I won't listen~"

"Do you want to eat haw candy with a skewer?"

"Huh! No~"

"Tamakoyaki?"

"Oh~ Kuromori-kun, please don't tempt me!"

"No. I'm just hungry, so I want to eat first. The octopus balls are delicious. Do you want some, Itsuki?"

"Since, then, we can't do anything. I'll just eat a little."

Itsuki's eyes wandered and her confidence was greatly reduced.

She came here in a hurry today, she wasn't in the mood for dinner, and now the air was filled with the tempting aroma of food.

Anyway, let's eat first!

Ten minutes later.

Itsuki's cheeks twitched slightly as she was eating grilled squid. She unconsciously looked at the time and then paused for a moment.

"Actually, twenty minutes have passed?"

"Oops."

"It's time!"

Itsuki immediately swallowed the food in her mouth and said frantically: "Kuromori-kun, time's up, I'm leaving."

After running a few steps, she suddenly stopped, then walked back, raised her face and looked up, and said seriously: "Kuromori-kun, if anything happens in the future, don't hide it from me, because I'm Kuromori-kun's lover."

After saying that, Itsuki tiptoed, leaving an oily wet mark on Haruto's face, then quickly left.

"Itsuki!!!"

Seeing Itsuki's appearance, Nino closed her eyes with her hand, her eyes blazing, and she gritted her teeth and said: "You're going too far. Everyone is given ten minutes, but you actually asked for twenty minutes!"

"Do you know how hard it is for me to be here?"

Itsuki immediately apologized: "Sorry, because there were too many delicious things, so I accidentally."

"Wrong!" Next to her, Ichika raised one finger and wagged it, smiling and saying: "Actually, Itsuki's health is better, so she can last longer than us~"

Itsuki's face immediately flushed red, and she rushed towards Ichika: "Ichika, what are you talking about!"

Nino turned her face away in guilt and hummed: "Anyway, I'll go there first."

After saying that, she hurried away.

Yotsuba turned her face away and realized that Miku was looking at her. Her heart beat faster and she said with a guilty conscience: "What are you looking at me for, Miku?"

Miku tilted her head slightly: "I always feel that Yotsuba is strange, like…"

Ichika added: "A cunning cat?"

❀❀❀

People came and went.

Haruto continued to stand where he was. Soon, he saw a beautiful girl with a side ponytail running towards him.

Strangely, it was Nino.

But this time Nino wasn't playing Miku.

Because she couldn't hide it, and also Nino didn't want to play Miku. She was Nino.

No need!

Nino actually thought they could be fine if they relied on their own halo.

The streets were lined with orange-red lanterns. Under the lantern light, Nino looked at Haruto, and her beautiful blue eyes sparkled under her bangs.

"Pervert Kuromori, I'm here."
