That's right.
The person who appeared outside was none other than the second daughter of the Nakano family.
Nakano Nino.
"Miku."
Nino took a deep breath and calmly said, "You two were too slow, so I came."
After a pause, she pretended to act casual and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"We…"
Miku quickly pulled her hand away and answered first, "Because my legs were tired from walking, I asked Haruto to check on them."
"They're fine now."
Nino gave a doubtful expression before saying, "Since everything is fine, let's hurry and catch up. Next, we're going to the haunted house. After that, it'll almost be time to go back for the day."
Nino glanced at Haruto, then turned and left.
Haruto shifted his gaze and said, "Don't worry, Nino didn't see anything."
"Seppuku!"
Miku glared at him angrily before immediately following Nino.
Haruto raised an eyebrow. Miku sure loved to talk about executing people at every opportunity.
Just then, a breeze blew, and the green leaves above rustled. Nino walking ahead, suddenly let out a small, uncomfortable groan and stopped.
Miku asked nervously, "Nino, what's wrong?"
"Some dust blew into my eye."
Nino frowned and raised her hand to rub her eyes.
Miku grabbed Nino's hand: "Nino, don't rub it with your hands. I'll blow it out for you."
"Sorry to trouble you."
"Hmm~"
In everyday life, when the wind blows, it's easy for dirt to get into the eyes. It's quite uncomfortable, and many people instinctively rub their eyes with their hands. However, this is not recommended as rubbing can easily harm the eyes and lead to infections.
Blowing into the eye helps remove any debris.
This method is common and one of the most effective ways to relieve the discomfort.
However, Miku wasn't very experienced, and the debris might have been lodged deeper, so her attempt didn't work.
In fact, she only made Nino cry!
Having something in your eye is extremely uncomfortable.
And if left too long, it could harm the eye.
Especially since Nino often wore contact lenses, her eyes needed more protection!
Haruto sighed: "Miku, let me handle this."
"Mhm."
Miku pursed her lips. If it wasn't resolved, Nino would feel really uncomfortable.
Besides, it was just blowing on her eye.
Miku stepped aside, and Haruto walked over to Nino, focusing on her face, and couldn't help but smirk.
The tears were flowing so much.
Nino gritted her teeth and said, "Stop staring, just blow on my eye quickly."
It was embarrassing to be seen like this.
Today was truly her unlucky day!
She made a decision!
When she got back, she would mark today as an unlucky day every year and circle it with a red pen!
Haruto said, "Open your eye a little."
Nino tried, but more tears streamed down as she said, "Damn! This is so uncomfortable, I can't open it at all."
Hearing the frustration in Nino's voice, Haruto didn't hesitate, moving closer and saying, "I'll take care of it, please stay still and don't move."
"Hmm~"
Nino obediently responded, closing her eyes and tilting her face up slightly, blinking softly, then feeling Haruto's hand touch her face.
In the next moment, Haruto acted.
Nino's cheeks flushed several times, her breathing quickened slightly, and she unconsciously tensed her entire body.
Haruto leaned in. At such a close distance, he could clearly feel Nino's warm breath gently hitting his face.
He couldn't help but think it would be a waste not to kiss her in this position!
Even though the thought crossed his mind, Haruto naturally wouldn't take advantage of the situation. Without hesitation, he quickly found the dirt in Nino's eye and gently blew it away.
"Huff…"
"All done."
The entire process went smoothly without delay. He simply leaned in, opened her eyelids, and blew gently. Such a simple task wasn't difficult for him!
'That was fast!'
Miku opened her eyes slightly, surprised that it was over so quickly.
Suppressing her mixed emotions, she nervously looked at Nino: "Nino, how do you feel?"
Nino blinked and felt immediate relief, even the dry sensation of the foreign object was gone.
"I'm fine."
Nino quickly turned around, grabbed a tissue to wipe the tears from her face.
After a moment, she turned back to Haruto, lifted a hand to fix her hair, and with her beautiful blue eyes, she gazed at him: "I didn't expect you to be quite good at this. Anyway, thank you."
Miku had failed multiple times, but Haruto succeeded in one attempt.
Besides, his massage skills were impressive, his grades were good, he could cook well, and he was handsome and healthy. From the looks of it, no other guy could compare to him!
As expected, the man who stole her heart!
Haruto said seriously: "Verbal thanks aren't sincere enough. Nino, please show me your true sincerity."
"Don't worry."
Nino placed her hand on her hip and looked up with a smile on her face: "I, Nakano Nino, am not the type of person who doesn't repay kindness."
"So, Kuromori, please look forward to it!"
After saying that, Nino glanced at Miku: "Miku, let's hurry now."
"Nino, it's fine."
"Don't worry, I'm alright." Nino suddenly remembered something and grabbed Miku's hand: "I almost forgot, we're still in line. Let's hurry, or we'll hold up the people behind us."
"Haruto, stop messing with your phone and let's go."
Soon, they arrived outside the haunted house.
The entrance to the haunted house was shaped like a creepy mouth. From the outside, it was pitch-black inside, and with eerie, creepy music, some faint-hearted people were already getting nervous before even entering.
The haunted house is always a popular attraction in amusement parks.
The haunted house at the amusement park in Chiba City was large and quite famous, with tourists from other cities coming to visit. Therefore, there was always a long line here.
There were rules inside the haunted house. To ensure the best experience, only 3 to 4 people could enter at a time. For safety reasons, single individuals were not allowed to enter alone.
This no-single-entry rule definitely put pressure on some people.
"Kuromori-kun."
When Haruto and the others arrived, they only saw Itsuki; the others were missing.
"Since only four people can go in at a time, Ichika, Yotsuba, and Shouko have already gone in."
"By the way, I heard single people aren't allowed in here. Apparently, someone got so scared they couldn't leave for a long time."
"Itsuki, please stop talking."
"Huh?"
Haruto looked up: "Because if you keep talking, their legs will weaken."
