Nino gently nudged Haruto with her arm and said, "When we were young, we went there with Mom."
Ichika said affectionately, "That was the last time; I remember we were all so happy."
Itsuki lowered her head and clasped her hands together, "But back then, Mom's body was already on the verge of collapse, and we didn't realize it; we were just playing and having fun."
"When we grew older, we would visit Itomori Town once a year to remember her, but after the disaster in Itomori Town three years ago, we never went back."
Because every place they had been to was destroyed.
If they went again, it would only make them feel even sadder.
Moreover, Itomori Town was the last place that had brought them happiness and joy, which is why they had such a strong reaction when they heard about it.
"But it's too far." Ichika frowned and said, "If we go there, it will take at least seven hours, plus the search, and the timing will be very tight. It would take at least two days to go back and forth."
Two days?
There was a look of doubt on Nino's face. If it was only two days, then it was the date she had long anticipated for Saturday.
But the most important thing now wasn't the date.
Nino looked at Miku, and after exchanging glances, they understood what the other meant.
Once the decision was made, Nino did not hesitate any longer. She stood up, clenched her fist, and said, "Everyone, let's go back, pack up, and leave immediately!"
"Huh?" Itsuki was taken aback, "Are we going now? But we haven't prepared anything, and Yotsuba is still practicing at the club."
Of course, it was impossible to leave Yotsuba behind.
"Leave Yotsuba to me." Miku took on the task.
She couldn't do much, and she wasn't good at tidying up. Instead of causing trouble, it was better for her to find Yotsuba.
"If that's the case, time is really tight, but…" Ichika looked at Haruto with curiosity, "Kuromori-kun, what about you?"
The most important person in this operation was actually Haruto. If he didn't go, even if they went, they might not achieve anything.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Haruto shrugged, "Can I still refuse at this point?"
Even though the schedule was disrupted, life was like that, never going as planned.
For example, the last trip to the zoo proposed by Ichika had yet to materialize.
Once the decision was made, the four sisters said goodbye and left.
Ichika and Miku went to find Yotsuba, while Nino and Itsuki went home first to pack their things.
After leaving the train station, Haruto walked toward his apartment.
Back at the old apartment door, Haruto was about to enter when he suddenly spotted a man hiding behind some greenery, sneaking peeks upstairs.
The man wore a suit, scarf, hat, and large sunglasses that covered most of his face, as if he was trying to avoid recognition.
On top of that, he was hiding behind bushes.
A stalker?
Haruto paused for a moment, then stopped. What should one do when encountering such a person?
It was simple.
Throw them into an oddity.
If a person like that were shown sympathy, forgiveness, and mercy, it wouldn't be because of kindness but because of a flaw in the mind.
Especially at the bottom of this apartment building.
It would be closer to death.
Haruto continued walking, but on the other side, a sudden crack opened up and swallowed him.
Done.
Haruto walked upstairs, approached Mafuyu's door, and raised his hand to knock.
Because Mafuyu's younger sister, Miharu, was coming the next afternoon, Haruto agreed to help clean the room.
The original plan was for tomorrow morning, but since the schedule had changed, he had no free time for tomorrow, so he moved it up a bit.
"Please wait a moment."
Footsteps could be heard. As she spoke, Mafuyu came to the door and opened it slightly.
"Excuse me."
Mafuyu's voice suddenly halted, and she squinted her eyes, immediately putting on a death stare, her eyes a mix of embarrassment and disgust.
"What are you doing?"
Haruto ignored her gaze and spoke seriously, "Of course, there's something to do. Hurry up and let me in."
'You still want to come in? Don't you remember what you did that night?'
Mafuyu narrowed her eyes and looked straight into his eyes, "You can talk about anything here."
No wonder she was so wary, especially since Haruto had started making moves now.
However, Mafuyu knew he didn't have any real intent to act against her, so to prevent certain misunderstandings, she had to remain vigilant temporarily.
Some people had already started evolving from herbivores to carnivores!
Haruto said lightly, "I came here to help clean the room, because next, I'll be going on a long trip."
"A trip?" Mafuyu frowned slightly and unconsciously asked, "Is it dangerous?"
"No."
It was just to do something and confirm some situations, so in theory, there was no danger at all.
"I see."
Mafuyu breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to leave the room to him, so she had no choice.
"I understand, Haruto-kun. Please proceed."
"Mm."
Seeing Mafuyu open the door, Haruto stepped inside.
This time, due to limited time, he didn't make a mess but honestly tidied up the room.
As for Mafuyu wanting to help, Haruto told her to make tea instead.
Because if Mafuyu helped, the more she did, the messier it would get!
It didn't take long. About twenty minutes later, Haruto finished cleaning the room and sorting out the trash.
After that, he drank a cup of tea, said goodbye, and left.
After casually packing two sets of spare clothes, grabbing his wallet and Yoruha, Haruto was ready to leave.
Haruto suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Yoruha, who was following behind him.
Yoruha blinked and pulled out a steaming cup of coffee from nowhere, "Master, would you like some coffee?"
"No." Haruto declined, and then his gaze slowly moved downward, landing on Yoruha's well-proportioned and slender legs wrapped in white knee-high socks.
Since the maid's skirt was so short, most of the doll girl's legs were exposed. The absolute area between the maid skirt and the white stockings was even whiter than the white stockings themselves.
It didn't seem appropriate to take Yoruha out dressed like this.
Haruto thought for a moment and said, "Yoruha, change your clothes."
Perhaps out of habit. Yoruha could change her clothes herself, but she always wore the maid outfit.
It was fine to wear it at home, but not great when going out.
"Change clothes?"
Feeling his gaze, Yoruha unconsciously shifted her legs, a surprised expression appearing on her face.
The next moment, the maid uniform disappeared instantly, and then, something appeared on Yoruha.
A nurse's outfit.
The pink nurse uniform had a low neckline, showing a significant amount of fair skin, and the skirt was even shorter, perfectly displaying her slender, pale legs.
Yoruha also held a large syringe in her hand.
Holding the syringe, she looked at Haruto with her blue eyes without blinking. She tilted her head slightly and asked, "Master, do you want an injection?"
