Haruto showed no guilt: "Yes, this hair belongs to Yotsuba."
'Baka Nii-san! Did you really just say that?'
Nanako couldn't help but tug on Haruto's arm.
'What are you afraid of! You can't hide something like this! Instead of lying, it's better to be an honest jerk… Ahem, I made a mistake, let me try again!'
'It's better to be straightforward than to lie. Otherwise, lies will keep piling up, and in the end, only lies will remain in your life.'
Sora bit her lip gently, turned her head away, remained silent for a while, and said, "Yotsuba... I see..."
She naturally knew her and was somewhat familiar with her, having met her on the way to school and even greeting her.
Yotsuba was a pretty and lively girl.
But what exactly did Haruto do for the girl's hair to still be on his shoulder?
Hugging?
Or something else?
Sora took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "I'm sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."
"Sora."
Hearing his voice, Sora stopped and glanced sideways at him.
Haruto thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want for dinner?"
'You've never asked that before. Now you're suddenly asking? Clearly, you have a guilty conscience!'
Sora stomped her foot hard as she walked toward Haruto. Just when Haruto thought she was going to get angry, she bent down and grabbed his arm.
"Stand up."
"?"
Haruto stood up: "What are you doing?"
Sora didn't answer but glanced at the cautious Nanako and softly said, "Nanako, play by yourself for a while."
Nanako obediently replied, "I understand, Sora-Nee."
After taking care of Nanako, Sora grabbed Haruto and said, "Come with me."
"..."
After thinking about it, Haruto didn't refuse.
Whether Sora was angry or sad, it was better for her to vent than to keep it bottled up.
And this day was bound to come sooner or later.
Wait, why are they going to the bathroom?
Haruto looked at the expressionless girl, thought for a moment, and still didn't say anything.
Because he felt that right now, this girl was like a barrel of dynamite, ready to explode at any moment!
And even though Sora appeared soft and fragile on the outside, she was actually very stubborn. So, what was she planning?
Nanako watched helplessly as the bathroom door closed.
Something had happened.
Nanako thought for a moment, then stood up and ran to the bedroom.
"Yotsuba Onee-san, open the door quickly—"
Nanako gently knocked on the door. Even though it was the first time she had heard Yotsuba's name and hadn't met her yet, because Yotsuba might be her brother's girlfriend, it was okay to call her Onee-san.
The door opened, and Yotsuba carefully looked at the girl standing outside. Then, her eyes sparkled a little.
So cute!
The girl outside was petite, with an adorable appearance, long black hair tied in twin-tails, and dressed beautifully.
Was this Haruto's other little sister?
She's so cute!
When Nanako saw Yotsuba, she couldn't help but say, "Nino Onee-san?"
"Huh?" Yotsuba was surprised, then quickly said, "Nanako, you've made a mistake. I'm Yotsuba, not Nino."
Nanako looked up with wide eyes: "Really, you're Yotsuba Onee-san?"
She really did look like Nino.
Nanako had heard from Sora that the Nakano family had quintuplets. Could it be that they all looked the same?
If so, how could her brother tell who was who?
What if her brother accidentally picked the wrong girlfriend?
Maybe it would develop like a plot in the anime she watched. The girl finds out her boyfriend is cheating, then hates him because of love, and falls into despair. Finally, under the sunset, a scene full of love and hatred fades into the depths of the ocean!
Nanako quickly interrupted the little theater in her mind and hugged Yotsuba's arm: "Yotsuba Onee-san, please save Baka Nii-san!"
"Huh?"
❀❀❀
Bathroom.
As soon as Haruto entered, Sora pushed him against the door.
"Liar!"
"I'm not." Haruto retorted, "It just so happened that her hair fell on my shoulder."
He wasn't lying. It really was a coincidence that Yotsuba's hair fell on his shoulder.
As for why Yotsuba's hair ended up on his shoulder, he couldn't say.
Even though he didn't want to lie, he wasn't foolish enough to say everything, right?
Yotsuba had provided a lap pillow and all that.
That was a sentence that must never be spoken!
Sora didn't say anything but suddenly leaned in close, "Sniff, sniff."
After a moment, she lifted her face and looked up, her eyes not friendly: "It smells."
Since there had been physical contact, of course, there would be a scent.
Haruto looked down at the girl pretending to be strong, but her eyes were filled with complaints.
"So, what now?"
"Let's go abroad."
"I refuse." Haruto's face darkened slightly: "Don't even think about it."
If he entertained the thought of eloping without saying a word, his mother would cry if she heard this!
"Anyway, I don't care, you can't leave me."
"Haruto, how will you choose?"
"Choose me or another girl?"
What should Haruto do now?
If he refused, this girl, who appeared weak but was actually stubborn, might do something reckless.
But if he agreed, with Sora's jealous personality, he would surely be in trouble in the future!
Haruto suddenly realized something, grabbed Sora's hand, and lifted it: "Sora, are you recording this?"
Sora turned her head away, guilty: "I accidentally pressed it."
Haruto put on a stern face: "Stay quiet!"
"No."
Haruto raised his eyes: "Are you sure?"
Sora's heart tightened, and she stared at him without showing any sign of weakness: "I'm sure."
"Very well."
Haruto stopped wasting words and reached out to pinch her waist.
At first, Sora didn't mind. Not to mention just pinching her waist, even if he wanted to do something more extreme, it would be fine.
But in the next moment, Sora realized she had underestimated Haruto.
