"Haruto-kun, are you here?"
Haruto paused for a moment: "I'm here."
Hearing this, Mafuyu immediately looked around.
Soon, she spotted Haruto not far away, holding his phone and staring at her with a strange look.
After walking out of the park, Haruto looked at Mafuyu, who was wearing a mask and bundled up like a big celebrity, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Mafuyu-chan, you're going overboard. We're going on a date, and you're really dressed like this?"
Mafuyu's cheeks turned slightly red as she denied: "This isn't a date, we're just going to watch a movie."
Going on a date and watching a movie are entirely different situations.
Because on a date, they would likely engage in romantic activities like a couple.
What if someone saw them in public and the news reached Sobu High School?
So, she had to be careful.
Haruto firmly said, "Mafuyu-chan, this is a date!"
Mafuyu glared at him angrily, but this time, she didn't argue back.
Haruto took her hand. At this moment, Mafuyu could feel eyes from the people around them looking over.
But it wasn't an illusion—it was real!
Mafuyu panicked: "Haruto-kun, have I been recognized?"
Haruto couldn't hold back his laughter: "Doesn't Mafuyu-chan think you're even more noticeable like this?"
On the street, where people were coming and going, everyone was dressed in work or casual clothes. It was common, so no one paid attention.
But right now, a mysterious and out-of-place person was suddenly mixed in with the crowd.
No matter how others saw it, it was very strange!
Mafuyu's disguise, which she thought was perfect, looked very odd to others!
If not for politeness, someone might have come over and asked, "Um, are you a big celebrity or something?"
Mafuyu became furious: "Stop laughing!"
Haruto quickly regained his composure and said seriously: "I just suddenly thought of a joke."
Mafuyu was so angry that she couldn't help but pinch him. Suddenly, she noticed someone seemingly trying to approach, and she began to panic.
"Haruto-kun, can we go back?"
"No way!"
Haruto held her hand: "Actually, this problem is easy to solve. Just listen to me and take off your hat."
Mafuyu hesitated for a moment but chose to trust him.
Once her hat was removed, her waist-length pink hair cascaded down.
Haruto reached out to help arrange her hair: "Next, the mask."
Blushing, Mafuyu did as instructed.
The mask was removed, revealing her beautiful face, with long lashes slightly trembling. Mafuyu unconsciously squeezed his hand.
"Haruto-kun, how do I look?"
"It's perfect."
When people around them saw this scene, their faces showed surprise. Then, as if understanding something, they all looked at Haruto with admiration.
What were they admiring?
Had they recognized Mafuyu's identity?
Haruto firmly shook his head.
At that moment, he suddenly heard the voice of a man not far away.
"So, it's a brother-sister relationship. I thought she was too ugly to show her face or a popular idol. Damn, I'm so jealous. I wish I could date such a beautiful older sister."
"Being in love with a beautiful older sister like that would be amazing."
"No wonder she dressed like that. That older sister must be the shy, innocent type, right?"
"Damn! A girl like that is my dream!"
After listening closely to the chatter around him, Haruto realized something.
So, they thought he was dating a super cute and beautiful older sister, and they admired him for it!
But they were wrong.
Mafuyu wasn't just an older sister—she was also a teacher!
Realizing that the stares from passersby were decreasing, Mafuyu quietly sighed in relief.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Mafuyu suddenly stared at Haruto, trying to appear dignified.
Haruto wasn't fazed at all and said seriously: "Mafuyu-chan is so cute. So, I want to look at her."
"I want to look at Mafuyu-chan for the rest of my life."
Mafuyu's cheeks flushed, but she didn't know how to respond at all. She could only lower her head, letting Haruto pull her along obediently.
Talking along the way, they soon arrived near the cinema.
Haruto checked the time and pulled Mafuyu toward a clothing store.
At home, Mafuyu usually wore a red sports outfit or business clothes.
Honestly, Haruto had rarely seen her wear anything else.
Though Mafuyu was very beautiful and looked good in anything, Haruto still wanted to see her wear something different.
So, this was his chance.
Seeing they were going off-course, Mafuyu hesitated and said: "Haruto-kun, we're going the wrong way. The cinema is upstairs."
"There's no mistake." Haruto paused for a moment: "Before going to the cinema, change your clothes first."
"No way." Mafuyu pulled back and said, "This outfit is fine."
Haruto looked at her seriously: "Mafuyu-chan."
Mafuyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she stammered: "What?"
Haruto's expression was serious: "I like Mafuyu-chan."
"!!!"
Mafuyu was slightly shocked and stared at him blankly with wide eyes.
Haruto suddenly thought of something—
'I brought the stars in the sky to give to you, but I still feel that the stars in the sky aren't as good as yours.'
He suddenly realized.
How high Mafuyu's status was in his heart? If he ever lost little Mafuyu one day, maybe his heart would never beat again.
But that situation was impossible. Even if the world collapsed, he wanted Mafuyu to stay with him until the end.
Finally, Mafuyu agreed and wore the beautiful pink and white dress Haruto had chosen.
Soon, Mafuyu stepped out of the dressing room, her face flushed: "Haruto-kun, how do I look?"
