Yoko looked at Kazuya, fearing that if he said he liked her straight away, which means that her status in Kazuya's heart would plummet. Kazuya's hands were itchy again, and he really wanted to give Haruna a slap on the back of his head. Putting aside everything else, are you planning to find a nanny who can buy you food and tell you stories?
He said helplessly: "Whether I like it or not, it's too early for you, hurry up and get in!" He didn't think that a simple girl like her knew what is boyfriend. There is no such concept as a relationship between men and women in her mind and she may treat him as her buddy. Even if he really likes him, he wouldn't dare to accept it. This girl can eat all his belongings in three days.
Haruna walked obediently in his room and said casually: "It's not too early. If my dad agrees, I can get married."
But her attention was immediately diverted when she entered the room. She really didn't take her words as a big deal. It felt like playing house. Her eyes fell on Toratoro and she shouted in surprise: "Cute puppy!"
Toratoro was stared at by her and stunned. A look of fear slowly appeared on its face. It backed away slowly as if it saw a wild beast in the forest. Haruna bent down and caught it when it was flipping upside down. The four short legs were about to run away, but they were not as fast as she was. She grabbed its tail and dragged it back, then grabbed its armpits and lifted it into the air.
She laughed loudly, "Wow, it's quite fat!" After that, she squeezed it hard and swallowed.
Toratoro failed to escape and couldn't resist, so it could only use its life-saving skills: trembled and gave Haruna a flattering smile.
Kazuya was speachless. It's okay to play with the dog, but why do you swallow when watching it?
Yoko was also frightened and shouted to her: "What are you going to do! Let Toratoro go, it's my friend!"
Although Haruna's fighting ability is second to none among her peers, her personality is not aggressive. She didn't get angry even when Yoko yelled at her. Instead, she returned Toratoro to Yoko and asked happily: "Is it your dog? I have always wanted to raise a dog, but my mother didn't allow, and now my sister won't allow me to raise one either. I can only raise one myself after I get married. I will raise a big dog, a very powerful one."
Yoko hugged Toratoro and shrank to the side. She glared at Haruna hostilely, feeling a little angry in her heart. However, Haruna was a friend of Kazuya and she didn't dare to show it on her face. She could only hide Toratoro in the bathroom first.
Kazuya introduced them to each other: "Yoko, this is Haruna, a friend of the same level as me. Haruna, this is Yoko, my sister."
Haruna glanced at Yoko curiously, "Is this the sister you fought for. She is the same age as Ayaka and Chika, but more likable than them. Those two are causing trouble all day long, so annoying."
She has a bad relationship with Ayaka and Chika, so there was no mental burden when she spoke ill of them.
Yoko was horrified. Has their relationship reached this point that they called each other by their first names? She was fearful if Kazuya still cared about her after he got a girlfriend.
"Let's study!" Kazuya felt more and more that it made sense for Haruka to beat Haruna. She had all her thoughts all day long and didn't do anything serious at all.
"Okay, okay." Haruna sat down at the desk and looked around, "Your room is so small."
"There is no way, the rent here is too expensive." Kazuya took out a few papers and pens and spread them in front of her, "Do it first, and I will tell you after you finish it... You must do it seriously, It doesn't matter if you take it slow!"
He still cared about Haruna who wanted to fight for him, so he took the time to prepare a set of papers for her. To put it bluntly, there is nothing new, just common question types. Memorize them all and copy them mechanically when you see similar ones. In this way, she may not get high scores but can maintain her scores above a baseline.
It's unrealistic for Haruna to expect her to get high scores in the exam. Kazuya was going to use lots of papers to build her ability by solving some common problems.
Haruna silently looked at the test paper in front of her with a serious expression, as if she was preparing to compete with someone for the spot of sword master. Then she picked up the pen and looked at the first question for a long time, and finally filled in a wrong answer.
Kazuya didn't care either. He was mentally prepared. After all, Haruna was soemone who could even only score 1 point in some subject at most. But he believed that she still had great potential. She had the most room for improvement in the entire grade because she was ranked last!
He left Haruna to do the questions and called to Yoko: "Yoko, I brought you a crepe."
Yoko came out of the bathroom, looking at the crepe with some warmth. Great, Onisan still cared for her!
She took it with a sweet smile and said loudly: "Thank you, Onisan!" Then she peeked at Haruna's reaction. Kazuya smiled and rubbed her little head, then sat down at the desk and continued to read his book.
Yoko was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, she served tea to Kazuya and Haruna. During the time when Kazuya went to pick up Haruna, she did a lot of work. She made tea at the guest's small square table, and even brought her schoolbag over, thinking that she could be a good sister who loves to study, so as not to embarrass Kazuya.
Now she can only be a good sister, otherwise her age will easily attract gossip and ruin Kazuya's future. But what about ten years later?
She and Kazuya had an agreement, an agreement to invest for ten years! She didn't want to lose Kazuya, it was the only important thing in her life.
She stopped reading the fashion magazines and took out textbooks to study. At the same time, she carefully observed Haruna and found that she had a pained expression on her face. She scratched her head from time to time. Thinking about her performance just now, isn't this a fool?
If only she were really a fool...
It's just that Haruna's intuition is very keen. Yoko took a few peeks before she was discovered. As a very enthusiastic girl, she asked: "Can't you do your homework?"
Yoko was startled and said vaguely: "It's a bit difficult, sister."
"Let me help you!" Haruna couldn't figure it out herself but still had time to worry about others. She stretched her head to look at Yoko's exercise.
Kazuya didn't stop her. It would be good to make Haruna build up her self-confidence in learning by helping Yoko. Scolding is useless. Haruka beat her every day but she still dislikes learning.
Haruna was urging. She had been taught by others all day long and wanted to teach others. However, Yoko's mind was not here and she pointed at one question casually. Haruna looked at it and fell into deep thought, "Chinese characters?" After a while, she said happily: "This should refer to a kind of rabbit in China, which called the horned rabbit! It is similar to the rabbit, except it has a pair of horns on its head."
Yoko was stunned. Horned rabbit? She looked down at the exercise book and was a little unsure, while Kazuya side heard something was wrong.
What the hell? I have lived in China for twenty years, how come I haven't heard of this kind of animal?
He couldn't help but get close, took a look at this question, and found that it said "兎に角" on it. Are you a fake high school student?
He said to Yoko: "It means 'all in all' here, not one kind of animal. If you don't understand, ask me. Your sister Haruna has to take tutoring, so try not to disturb her."
"兎に角" comes from the idiom "hare horns and turtle hair". It originally referred to something that did not exist, but after it was imported into Japan, the meaning changed.
Kazuya explained it roughly to Yoko, but Haruna was shocked when she heard it, "Isn't there this kind of animal in China? The world is so big, there are all kinds of strange things. I know that there are animals like wildebeests that eat grass, and the horned rabbit is about the same."
"There is none in the whole world! Just do your papers!" Kazuya gave up explaining to her patiently.
