"How... how could you do something like this!"
On the deserted street swept by a gentle breeze, the bright streetlights cast a dim glow on Yotsuba's flushed face.
Her adorably embarrassed expression made Haruno cover her mouth and laugh softly. This innocent demeanor brought out her mischievous side.
"What's so surprising? Don't you think Daiki-kun deserves this kind of treatment? If it weren't for his protection, who knows what would have happened." She pretended to wipe her eyes while squinting slightly.
"But... but..." Yotsuba's pupils trembled as she was completely shocked by Haruno's brazenness.
Were all the noble families in Chiba this shameless? If she wasn't mistaken, that figure must be Mrs. Yukinoshita, right?
Though it was true that Daiki protected the Yukinoshita family, the price they paid far exceeded her imagination.
Yotsuba's eyes darted around wildly, avoiding direct eye contact.
Haruno, showing no restraint, grabbed her arm and pulled her to the luxury car's window, shamelessly inviting Yotsuba to watch the entire process from the side.
'Judging from Yotsuba's reaction, she probably can't see their faces clearly, right? Otherwise, seeing Ichika and Nino, she would surely denounce them as shameless?' A hint of cunning flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Based on Yotsuba's expression, she guessed the other party couldn't see clearly either.
Little did she know that Yotsuba was purely shocked by Haruno's behavior. Seeing Yukino's reddened face, the ice queen image of Sōbu High crumbled instantly, never to be restored.
"Though Miss Miku came first, we won't care about that! With your personality, it's better not to get involved. As a partner of the Nakano Hospital, as long as Miss Miku keeps her distance from Daiki-kun in the future, our friendship won't change."
Haruno's inflammatory words made Yotsuba clench her fists.
How could she tolerate the Yukinoshita family stealing Miku's boyfriend!
"No way! Daiki-kun is mine! Even if... even if you do this, I absolutely won't give up!" A blush spread across Yotsuba's face, her wandering eyes involuntarily falling on the glass surface before quickly looking away.
She couldn't fathom how this Yukinoshita family young lady could chat and laugh with her in this situation.
With such extraordinary composure, she had to acknowledge her as the strongest!
But how could she compete with the three from the Yukinoshita family? After all, those three had already... she couldn't possibly follow their example, could she?
"Words alone aren't enough. Miss Miku was here first, and we're in the wrong. So here's my proposal — if Miss Miku joins us, once it's over, we'll step back and let her have him." Haruno pondered briefly before making this outlandish suggestion.
"This... this is impossible!"
She was just Yotsuba, not really Miku.
If she did this, how would she be any different from Itsuki and the others?
"Heh, just empty words after all! Then why should Daiki-kun abandon us and choose you?"
Haruno's gentle expression instantly turned cold, making the young girl stumble back two steps.
"In that case, please leave. I'll send Daiki-kun back tomorrow morning." Her lips curved into a villainous smile.
"No!" Yotsuba grabbed her arm forcefully.
"Then prove it to me!"
Unexpectedly, Haruno pulled her into the luxury car.
The cramped space felt particularly dark. Yotsuba, her thoughts scattered, was positioned haphazardly by Haruno.
The innocent girl had no time to react before her body was pushed down, and the lance — until now inside Yukino — suddenly entered her.
As blood was spilled, a notification sounded in Daiki's ear.
『Host has collected Yotsuba Nakano!』
『Reward: Future Sight!』
Haruno leaned close to his ear, "Daiki-kun, how should you reward me? The Nakano sisters' taste wasn't bad, right?"
Daiki looked at her in surprise.
So she had assumed the two unclear figures were Nino and Ichika, which explained her earlier comment.
"Daiki-kun, wait..." Yotsuba watched in disbelief as her vision began to blur and consciousness faded.
"The other two seem rather hesitant!" Daiki remarked to Haruno, his eyes shifting.
The puzzled woman interpreted this as his signal.
Slap!
She gracefully raised her hand and brought it down behind one of the figures, causing liquid to splash across her.
"I never expected Miss Nino to be so... responsive."
Mrs. Yukinoshita's face flushed crimson as she nearly collided with the wall.
Amused, Daiki temporarily lifted the mature woman's illusion.
When Mrs. Yukinoshita's vision cleared, she immediately spotted Haruno. As suspected, this was all her eldest daughter's doing!
More shocking was Yukino's presence. Speechless, she instinctively moved to hide her reddened cheeks at the sight of her daughters.
"Mrs. Yukinoshita, shall we maintain some discretion between you and your daughters?"
Daiki withdrew his implement from between the Yukinoshita sisters and presented it before her.
Observing the glistening surface, Mrs. Yukinoshita closed her eyes, sampling the distinctive mixture. While she had previously experienced Haruno's essence alone, now she could discern Yukino's as well.

In the luxury apartment, Itsuki and the others remained oblivious to Yotsuba's disappearance and the luxury car parked outside.
Meanwhile, Tokyo Jujutsu High received an unexpected visitor — Yūta Okkotsu, one of the four current Special Grade Sorcerers.
"Yo, Gojo, your injuries are far worse than I imagined." Yūta gazed in horror at Satoru's condition.
The once-proud Six Eyes were gone, his legs virtually useless. The strongest Sorcerer, who had once ruled the Jujutsu World, had fallen so far.
"Hahaha, I got lucky, really. At least that guy slashed horizontally instead of vertically..."
Megumi, Yuta, and the others' faces darkened at once.
A vertical cut would have meant their teacher's certain death.
"Why did you return? I thought you were gone for good!" Masamichi asked, surprised.
"I hadn't planned to come back, but something unexpected crossed my path — or rather, I'm chasing something." Yūta pulled up the weather forecast app on his phone and tossed it to the Principal.
Megumi frowned, "What does this mean?"
"It's a weather forecast! Obviously to predict the weather! Look at it carefully — the most important information is right there." Yūta replied with exasperation.
Masamichi studied the forecast and murmured, "Super Typhoon No. 18 is expected to make landfall on the Kamakura coastline next month."
