After Haruto took Itsuki away, the hand that had reached out from the coffin calmly withdrew.
He had just finished his work. It wasn't like he wanted to take advantage of anything.
Now that the target was far away, the staff could only give up.
Fortunately, that was the case. Thus, Haruto didn't feel any resentment. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to take Itsuki back!
"Itsuki."
Haruto looked away and was about to speak when his hand, resting on Itsuki's waist, unconsciously squeezed it.
Haruto swore it was completely subconscious.
Like grabbing a bag of instant noodles and squeezing it without realizing.
After all, he had hugged Miku, Nino, Mafuyu, Hiratsuka, Yukino, and Yui.
Had he hugged that many girls?
The corner of Haruto's mouth twitched slightly. At this point, should he say, "From now on, please call me a playboy?"
If this continued, he might have fewer friends but a lot of girlfriends!
In the next moment, Itsuki, feeling embarrassed and angry, immediately punched Haruto.
*BANG*
The sound was quite dull.
Haruto groaned and instantly snapped back to reality. He felt a weight on his chest and was a little confused for a moment.
With that punch, an ordinary person might have been lying on the ground, unable to get up.
"Itsuki, what are you doing?"
Itsuki looked at him with embarrassment, gritted her teeth, and said, "Kuromori-kun, what were you doing with your hand?"
Haruto firmly replied, "Itsuki, I was wrong. I'm sorry!"
'My weight has indeed increased recently, and there is a bit more flesh around my waist, but it's just a little. Did you only just notice and pinch it?'
Itsuki gritted her teeth and said, "Next time, I'll be really angry!"
Haruto thought for a moment and said, "Actually, don't worry too much. You're not fat at all now. You've got more flesh, and it actually suits you."
"You're still saying that!"
Itsuki was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but hit him again.
But this time, the strength of her punch was clearly much lighter.
Haruto grabbed her fist and said seriously, "I'm serious, Itsuki. This is great. I really like it."
He wasn't lying.
Itsuki was indeed a bit heavier than her sisters. But she wasn't fat at all. Instead, this youthful fullness felt wonderful.
"Woo~"
Itsuki couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted, raising her hands to cover her flushed cheeks, "Kuromori-kun, please stop talking!"
To say such easily misunderstood words.
This was clearly harassment!
Seeing that Itsuki wasn't holding back anymore, Haruto breathed a sigh of relief and decisively changed the subject.
Sure enough, a girl's waist shouldn't be pinched recklessly!
Itsuki had gained weight recently. Though there wasn't any fat now, and it was just right, what if she gained more weight and turned into a ball?
Haruto thought of Itsuki turning into a ball and then shook his head.
Itsuki's body was perfect as it was now!
As for being a fat ball, forget it! After a while, Itsuki calmed down and couldn't help but ask, "Kuromori-kun, are you okay?"
Haruto quickly reacted, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Really?"
"Do you want me to take off my clothes and let you check?"
Itsuki bit her lip, turned around, pouted slightly, and whispered, "Kuromori-kun knows how to bully me."
That's right.
At first, it was just a way to bully others for fun.
But now, something was different!
Haruto gently said, "Sorry, Itsuki."
"I'm not mad." Itsuki whispered, "I don't think it's good for us to be like this."
They weren't a couple, yet sometimes they were clearly as close as one.
She was a little confused.
She wondered how they should define their current relationship.
Friends?
If that was the case, it was hard for Itsuki to accept.
But what if they weren't friends?
Seeing the girl's ahoge getting messy, Haruto raised his hand and smoothed it down, "Don't think too much, let's keep it as it is."
Don't get closer on purpose.
Don't distance yourself on purpose.
Just let everything flow naturally and follow your heart.
Humans only live once, and life is short.
There are beautiful sights in life, and of course, there are unpleasant ones, but no one likes unpleasant views!
Haruto had always done this.
He wasn't an idiot, so he noticed things, but he didn't say them out loud.
Humans...
NO!
In other words, all creatures have a greedy nature. Pet hamsters aren't worried about food and clothing, yet they still hoard food. Dogs eat well, but they also bury bones. If someone feeds a group of stray cats enough cat food, they might still fight and guard it.
And humans are more complex than animals.
But humans, being more successful, have their own civilization and learn self-restraint.
There's a saying that holds true: because humans have desires, civilization has developed so rapidly.
If people had no desires, it wouldn't be possible!
Those who claim to have no desires and choose to lie down actually have no choice, because no matter how hard they try, there's no hope at all!
So, they can't help it.
But what if you gave them a chance to reach the pinnacle of life?
Would they still choose to lie down?
Who wouldn't want to live a happy life, see the great mountains and rivers of the earth, and go fishing every day without a care?
So, Haruto was greedier than the average person.
He understood himself.
He knew what he wanted and what he didn't want.
"Kuromori-kun!!!"
Itsuki grabbed his hand and angrily shouted, "I told you not to touch my head!"
Haruto thought for a moment: "Because my hand itched?"
"I'm going to hit you."
"I was wrong."
"Hmm~"
Itsuki raised her hand to pull her hair behind her ear, a frustrated expression on her face: "Really, Kuromori-kun has such thick skin!"
Haruto kept a poker face and said, "If you're shameless, you're unbeatable."
Itsuki couldn't help but complain, "That's not a good thing at all!"
Even so, her mood clearly improved.
Haruto thought for a moment, then took out a meat bun and handed it to Itsuki, "Want to eat it?"
