"There's no change."
Haruto firmly said, "Mafuyu-chan, you forgot that you just promised me to fulfill my request."
Mafuyu took a breath, then turned and ran.
However, in the next moment, she was pulled back by Haruto.
"Hmm~"
Mafuyu collided into Haruto's embrace, letting out a muffled sound, looking up in embarrassment and anger: "Haruto-kun, wait, I haven't brushed… Mhm~"
As for the matter of brushing her teeth, it wasn't an issue at all since Haruto would always find a way to add some buffs to Mafuyu every day.
Among those was a cleansing buff.
Issues ordinary people face, like bad breath and bacteria, simply didn't exist for Mafuyu!
So Haruto tasted the sweetness of strawberry cake and the rich sweetness of coffee.
This time, it tasted sweet.
At first, Mafuyu pinched him hard because she had been drinking wine, coffee, and eating food. What if there was a weird taste in her mouth?
The mere thought of it made her uncomfortable.
But Haruto didn't give her a chance at all.
With a dizzy head, Mafuyu could only cling to his neck sadly.
'Insult! He was clearly such a gentle person before, but in less than a year, he's turned so wicked.'
'What a mistake! But... I don't want to resist at all. Because… I like you the most.'
Helping Mafuyu tidy up the room, under her cold gaze, the knee pillow Haruto wanted naturally shattered.
Now here's the question.
Was he at a gain or loss today? Returning to his apartment, Haruto showered and then picked up his phone.
By now, he had fully integrated into the life of Sobu High and also into the Nakano quintuplets' family.
One could say everything was progressing in a good direction at the moment.
The only problem? Haruto suddenly realized he seemed to have become popular all of a sudden.
Though he was popular before, his personality wasn't as bad as it is now.
So, where did the problem lie?
Haruto thought wildly while replying to messages from Nino and Miku, including Shouko and even Yuigahama.
There was even Yukino.
They all wished him goodnight.
After replying, Haruto pondered for a moment and murmured, "Though suddenly becoming popular is a good thing, as it means returning to the normal track of life, but…"
"I always feel something's wrong."
He suddenly remembered the TV series "I Have Few Friends" and his expression became slightly subtle.
Because the overlap between reality and illusion was very delicate!
"Do I want to make friends?"
Haruto thought for a while, then firmly denied it.
Even though he hung out with the Nakano quintuplets and the two members of the Service Club, including Shouko, in reality, he was almost always in a passive position.
Because from the start, he didn't care and didn't want to spend energy on building what's called friendship.
This applied to girls.
And as for taking the initiative to build friendships with other guys?
As expected, forget it.
Haruto lay on the bed, chatted with Miku for a while, then closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.
Since creating the doll girl, Haruto rarely encountered oddities, as the doll girl was different from humans and didn't require any buffs.
Their relationship was like that between a servant and a master.
The doll girl could gain power from Haruto, and since she wasn't human, she could even exert combat strength beyond Haruto's own. However, there were pros and cons.
The downside was also clear: her consumption was much higher.
However, as long as the doll girl didn't face intense battles, such as fighting monsters stronger than Void Demons, it was no big deal for Haruto.
This was even more true after Haruto regained his memories, and his superpowers surged dramatically.
Now, it was more than enough to sustain just one more doll girl.
In fact, Haruto also wanted to get a few more combat dolls so he could free his hands.
Unfortunately, aside from the doll girl who was very successful due to some unforeseen circumstances, the rest were just like machines, completely useless.
❀❀❀
Oddity.
The doll girl threw her scythe aside. Under the blood moon, crystal water droplets floated next to her.
She tilted her head, touched a droplet, and blinked. She didn't know when her eyes had become a little more alive.
❀❀❀
At the same time, Hiratsuka had returned to her apartment.
After bathing, she threw herself onto the sofa. She sighed, a satisfied expression on her face.
After a tiring day, the feeling of lying on the sofa after a bath was so comfortable that she didn't want to move at all.
After a while, Hiratsuka remembered something and stood up to grab the shopping bag placed on the table.
"Did that guy really give me a gift?"
Hiratsuka muttered and took out the book out of curiosity.
When she saw the cover clearly, she suddenly bit her lip, a shy expression on her face.
"Pervert, you really gave me this kind of book. This is clearly harassment!"
"Wait! Is this Genji's work?"
Hiratsuka hesitated for a moment, picked up the doujin, opened it, and murmured: "I'm just a little curious, that's all, so I'll just take a look."
Then she began to read the doujin carefully.
"Heh~ Nothing more than this!"
Her tone was mocking, but her cheeks were clearly tinged with a mesmerizing blush.
"What's that guy trying to do? Does he want to raise me like the heroine in this doujin?"
"Despicable!"
Hiratsuka was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but grit her teeth: "He spends all day with the Nakano quintuplets, but I still have Mafuyu by his side, and now he really wants to take advantage of me?"
"That brat, just wait!"
"Wait until Saturday to see how I'll teach you a lesson and show you what it means to respect your teacher and honor moral principles!"
