"Yui, forgive me, I didn't mean to follow you, I was just a little worried about you."
Miura holding back her embarrassment, walked out gracefully and looked at Haruto with the pride of a large white swan with its neck raised. "Are you Kuromori Haruto?"
"It's me."
Haruto nodded and reminded her, "Don't stand too tall and speak, you'll expose yourself."
Miura crossed her arms indifferently. Instead, she said with a disdainful look, "Kuromori-kun, are you expecting something?"
Haruto replied seriously, "Please don't insult me, I'm just reminding you."
Next to them, Ebina adjusted her glasses and said with a smile, "I've never talked to Kuromori-kun before. I feel Kuromori-kun is always mysterious and cold."
"That's just an illusion."
Haruto leaned against the wall. "I was just busy before. In fact, the rumors about Sobu High are all wrong. As you can see, I'm actually a good person."
"Bad people say they're good people."
Miura hummed. "Anyway, I won't say anything more. Yui is my friend. If you dare to toy with her feelings, I won't let you off."
"Yumiko, you misunderstand."
Yuigahama blushed and explained, "I was just thanking Kuromori-kun for teaching me how to bake a cake."
Haruto added, "Yuigahama-san is right, you misunderstood. There's nothing going on between Yuigahama-san and me."
Yuigahama: "😐"
Even though what he said was true, for some reason, she suddenly felt unhappy.
Miura glanced at Yuigahama's expression and became suspicious, thinking that Yuigahama was acting too strangely.
At that moment, a sudden gust of wind blew.
A girl's scream was suddenly heard.
Haruto instinctively looked up and saw two girls on the stairs with their skirts flying.
Sakura petals flew with the wind, and he was a little surprised. Was it really pink?
He hadn't realized it, but it turned out that Miura was innocent!
'Ebina, what's with you? You usually have a quiet personality, like a literary girl, but you're actually quite daring!'
The next moment, the two girls panicked and lowered their skirts.
Two embarrassed, glaring eyes locked onto Haruto.
Miura's face flushed, and she said angrily, "Pervert, you're still looking!"
Haruto always felt that if he stayed any longer, it would be very troublesome.
He quickly bid farewell and left. "Sorry, I didn't see anything. Continue on, I have other things to do, so goodbye!"
"Yui, I'm off. Goodbye."
Just after walking away from the stairs, a girl with headphones, leaning against the wall not far from the corridor, held her school bag with both hands and called out softly, "Reckless Kuromori."
This particular title...
Haruto gently moved the corner of his mouth and said, "Miku, please call me Kuromori."
"No, it's easier to call you Reckless Kuromori." Miku turned her face away, tucking her hair behind her ear, and spoke in a calm tone.
Haruto's face darkened, and he complained, "Why does that sound so smooth?"
"You know."
'Chatting, confessing... We've only known each other for a few days, but we've done so much.'
"Sorry, I don't know."
Haruto firmly ignored the topic and said, "Next, I'm heading to the library. Do you want to come?"
Miku nodded lightly, following him with her school bag, and said, "It's too dangerous for Itsuki to stay with you, so I'm going."
Haruto really liked teasing girls, and if she didn't watch, he might do the same to Itsuki.
That sort of thing was absolutely impossible.
Haruto's mind was filled with dark lines. Was her opinion of him really that bad?
He said expressionlessly, "…Thank you, Miku-sama, for overthinking about me."
"Guilty!"
"I'm not going to commit seppuku, so don't ever think about it."
"Bullying."
"Clearly, you're the one bullying me!"
"NO."
"It's obvious."
"..."
The two of them walked towards the library.
Haruto walked in front, and Miku slowly followed behind, trailing three steps behind.
"That's Nino."
Haruto's eyes lit up a little, and just as he was about to walk over, Miku suddenly grabbed his wrist and said nervously, "Reckless Kuromori, come this way."
Nino was suspicious of her when she returned yesterday, and even more so this morning. If she saw her walking with Haruto now, there would definitely be a misunderstanding.
Nino had a bad temper, so if a conflict happened, it would be troublesome.
Haruto fell silent and said, "Miku, why are we hiding from Nino?"
Not to mention that he wasn't even dating Miku right now, even if they were, there was no reason to avoid Nino.
A hint of pink appeared on Miku's face as she turned away and said, "It's nothing, I just don't want Nino to catch me."
"You don't want Nino to catch you?"
Several question marks appeared in Haruto's mind, but when he saw Miku puffing out her cheeks, he wisely chose to stay silent.
'Fine! I almost kissed Miku twice, and I feel a little guilty. But didn't she kiss me?'
Haruto had no choice but to follow Miku to the back.
"AHHH—"
At this moment, Miku suddenly groaned. The foot she had twisted yesterday stepped on a stone, causing her foot to twist again. In severe pain, her body instinctively fell forward.
Haruto instinctively reached out to catch Miku.
The girl's waist, due to a lack of exercise, felt soft and without fat. Therefore, it seemed both soft and slender, reminding Haruto of the phrase "willow waist."
Her scent was fragrant and refreshing.
The tip of his nose was filled with her delicious aroma. To be honest, Miku's body smelled wonderful.
And it felt very comfortable to hold her in his arms.
Haruto's heart felt like a cat was scratching at it, making his heart beat faster.
A girl with headphones always called him "Reckless Kuromori"...
Who wouldn't be tempted!
Therefore, this was just the most basic and normal biological phenomenon.
Haruto took a breath and immediately decided to release Miku.
However, just as he pushed her away, Miku took the initiative to hug his arm.
"Oh~~don't let go..."
Miku lay in Haruto's arms, her eyebrows furrowed, her face slightly pale, and she took the initiative to hug his arm, speaking in a pained voice, "My foot is twisted, it hurts..."
Haruto reacted, "That foot from yesterday?"
