"Stop crying."
Haruto glanced at the jacket and scarf around the other person's neck, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Because the crying girl was none other than the obsessed stalker he had thrown into a precarious situation.
Yes, it was the same person Haruto had encountered yesterday when he returned to the apartment.
Since he was in a hurry, he had only thrown her into the oddity. After all, she had seemed cunning and suspicious at that moment.
To avoid alarming Mafuyu, he handled it casually.
However, who would have thought that she wasn't just an ordinary crazy person—she was actually his sister-in-law!
That's right.
This girl was none other than Kirisu Miharu.
Hadn't her belongings just arrived as promised on Saturday afternoon?
It would have been fine if Miharu had come a little earlier, but she actually showed up a whole day ahead of schedule?
It would still have been manageable a day early, but she had come secretly to spy.
Haruto felt both helpless and relieved.
He seemed to understand why Yoruha hadn't let Miharu escape and even tied her up. She must have thought the girl looked like Mafuyu, so she brought her back.
Haruto looked at Yoruha, who stood obediently by his side, and praised her, "Yoruha, you did a good job this time."
Yoruha's eyes blinked slightly, staring at him without blinking.
This feeling... Was she happy?
Yoruha blinked, suddenly wanting to hear it again.
After praising Yoruha, Haruto turned to Miharu and suddenly felt a headache coming on.
What should he do now?
To prevent Mafuyu from finding out that he had thrown her sister into the oddity, he needed the simplest, most direct, and effective method.
Sure enough, direct hypnosis was better.
Haruto looked at Miharu, who was sobbing, sad, scared, and helpless, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Forget it.
Who made her his sister-in-law?
Haruto reached out and took the handkerchief out of the girl's mouth and asked, "What's your name?"
Miharu sniffled and said timidly, "My name is Kirisu Miharu. Can you let me go? I promise not to say anything unnecessary."
"Sure."
Haruto nodded, then said seriously, "Miharu, I said that I tied you up last night for your safety. Do you believe me?"
'He's really calling me by my name? What a reckless guy.'
Miharu looked at him timidly and said sadly, "I, I believe."
"No, you don't believe."
"I do believe."
"You don't believe."
Miharu's mouth formed a wavy shape out of grievance: "I really do believe."
Seeing the girl looking sad and on the verge of tears, Haruto cleared his throat: "I wasn't trying to harass you, but you really misunderstood, understand?"
Seeing Miharu look at him warily, Haruto continued, "This is no longer Chiba City. We're far from Chiba City. If you were asked to go back alone, would you know the way?"
"Also, Miharu, you're very pretty, what if you met bad people?"
"Could you handle it?"
Miharu: "😐"
She rarely traveled far, but this time she had made thorough preparations to successfully reach Chiba City.
If what he said was true, she wouldn't be able to handle it at all.
Was he complimenting her?
But why did he suddenly call her pretty?
Miharu's cheeks turned a little warm. She glanced at Haruto and said timidly, "Alright. I understand, can you untie me now?"
"Good."
Haruto immediately untied Miharu's restraints.
Fortunately, Yoruha hadn't learned poor rope skills, otherwise, it would have been more frustrating.
Seeing that she was really released, Miharu sighed in relief, then lifted her head slightly and looked at him.
Did she really misunderstand?
And soon after, Miharu relaxed completely.
Because several other girls, including Kamiya Saki, were already up and came over.
Haruto introduced Miharu.
After the introduction, the Nakano quintuplets immediately remembered the teacher at school, Kirisu Mafuyu.
Combined with the girl's pink hair and blue eyes.
"What? You're all Onee-sama's students?"
Learning this, Miharu looked surprised and completely at ease.
"Wait."
She suddenly realized that they all recognized her identity, but the man must have recognized her too, right?
Miharu's eyes widened as she looked at Haruto, who was calmly playing with his phone not far away.
Realizing Miharu's gaze, Haruto raised his head and showed a polite smile.
'He definitely recognized me! Woo~ This guy is so evil, so bad. He clearly knew who I was from the beginning but pretended not to.'
Thinking about how embarrassed she had been in front of him, even begging him with tearful eyes, Miharu wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
But she didn't dare say anything, so she could only look at him sadly, then lower her head, her mouth forming a wavy line again.
She had come to see her sister, and she had been looking forward to this meeting, but unfortunately, she ended up in a dark and cold place and was tied up all night.
In the end, she was teased by a younger man.
So sad.
She wanted to go home and never sneak out alone again.
Haruto covered his forehead.
'You're a college student. Can you stop looking at me like a wronged girl? But this is my fault, after all, she's my sister-in-law, so the relationship can't be messed up.'
Thinking this, Haruto put down his phone: "Since everyone's awake, let's have breakfast."
The ahoge on Itsuki's head stood up straight, and she cleared her throat and said, "Kuromori-kun is right, it's already late, we should have breakfast."
"Let's go. I didn't even eat well last night. I'm already starving."
"Miku, hurry up and follow me."
Haruto walked towards the hesitant Miharu and said, "Miharu, let's join everyone."
