After Nino left, Haruto no longer felt drowsy.
He stood up and opened the door, and a cool breeze blew in. He looked up at the sky, and now the day was starting to darken. There was still at least half an hour until dawn completely arrived.
So, he decided to take a shower.
After soaking in the hot spring, Haruto sighed, raised his left hand, and looked at the red string on his wrist.
"Has the answer been out for a long time?"
All he needed was confirmation.
And now, a few things could finally be confirmed.
"Gensokyo. Is this the last hope of existence due to critical destruction? Is that where Rikka went?"
As Haruto was deep in thought, there was a small knock on the door. If he hadn't listened carefully, he would have almost ignored it.
Yoruha opened the door and walked out, her eyes slightly focused, and a whip suddenly appeared in her hand as she stepped toward Haruto.
Seeing her turn, Yoruha said calmly, "I apologize for not appearing as soon as Master was bathing. I suggest Master whip me."
Because of that, she raised the whip with both hands.
"..."
Haruto looked at the whip in her hand, his mouth twitching slightly, then he said expressionlessly, "I won't whip you, just get out!"
"I must refuse."
Yoruha said seriously: "As a qualified maid, I cannot leave Master alone."
"You are not a maid."
"Will Master discard Yoruha?"
Haruto averted his gaze and said calmly, "I told you last time that I wouldn't abandon you. You shouldn't say such things again."
"I'm sorry."
Yoruha blinked slightly, shaking her head gently: "Master gave life to Yoruha, and Master has the right to deal with Yoruha, so Master does not need to apologize."
"But!"
Yoruha said firmly: "As a qualified maid, the battlefield is right next to Master, so I must not retreat when facing a battle!"
Haruto raised his eyes: "Stop talking, no way, give up!"
"Get out quickly!"
*JIII—*
Yoruha stared at him without blinking. Then she thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "I know, it turns out what Master wants is not a bath."
❀❀❀
The sky was slightly bright.
Some girls had already woken up.
Haruto left his room, had breakfast with everyone, and then set off again.
Inside the car.
Yotsuba glanced at Nino and Miku, who were both playing with their phones, with a slightly subtle expression.
'Kuromori-san and Nino are very close... Does Miku know? If Miku doesn't know, doesn't that mean Kuromori-san is playing both sides? Isn't it easy to be found out like this?'
Nino turned and stared at Yotsuba, pretending to be calm and asked, "Yotsuba, why are you always staring at me?"
"Nothing~"
Yotsuba waved her hand quickly, scratching her head awkwardly, and laughed: "I just thought Nino seems to be in a good mood today, so I was a little curious."
Miku looked at Nino.
Nino raised her hand to straighten her blunt bangs and stared at Haruto in front of her with her bright blue eyes.
Then she said nonchalantly: "Really? Maybe because I dreamed about mom for a long time last night, so I'm in a good mood."
"Eh?" Yotsuba was surprised and said: "So Nino also dreamed about mom?"
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became silent.
Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Nino's heart raced, and she opened her eyes wide and said, "Ichika, Itsuki, did you also dream about her?"
"Hmm~"
Ichika raised her finger and pointed to her lips: "By the way, I really dreamed about mom last night~"
Itsuki pouted and said, "I dreamed about mom too."
Did we all dream about that?
Nino was stunned, then stared at Miku.
Miku removed her headphones and said softly: "I dreamed about her too."
"By the way, I dreamed that mom was healed in the hospital and then came home together."
Seeing everyone silent, Ichika spoke up, wanting to break the boring atmosphere. However, these words made the atmosphere even sadder.
Itsuki clenched her fists and said in a low voice: "Ichika, I had the same dream."
"I did too!"
"Me too."
"Um."
How is this possible!
If one person dreams, it's normal, but if five sisters dream together, it's still the same dream.
Suddenly, several girls looked at Haruto.
Haruto: "😐"
'Look at what I've done! Do you really think I'm an all-knowing and omnipotent God?'
But last night, Rena did come, including the appearance of the little fox; Haruto knew all this. After all, as an Esper who could temporarily suppress the entire world, if he didn't know about this, then this book might as well be over!
However, he did not know what Rena was doing. After all, Haruto was doing homework with the five little versions at that time. Rena asked him to help them with their homework.
At the same time, Haruto had never used superpowers like clairvoyance and mind reading to spy on others because the consequences were not good.
This is not nonsense, but experience.
Itsuki said nervously: "Kuromori-kun, do you know what happened? Telepathy of the five sisters?"
Because of that, Haruto looked at Nino with gentle eyes.
If the five sisters had this sensing ability, wouldn't that be five synchronizations?
Realizing Haruto's gaze, Nino bit her lip silently, then glared at him.
Haruto turned his face as if nothing had happened and asked curiously: "What exactly are you doing?"
"Hmm~ Homework?"
"Watching TV."
"Playing games."
"Watching TV."
"Eating."
For a moment, everyone looked at Itsuki.
Itsuki's face suddenly turned red, and she said angrily: "You all pay attention to what I'm doing, so I remembered the dishes mom made, it's fine!"
Everyone was indifferent; why did she only eat when it came to her turn?
Please reflect carefully!
A few girls began to chat.
In the end, of course, there was no result.
Although it was strange for the five sisters to have the same dream, there were many strange things in this world, and perhaps nothing was stranger than this.
At this moment, Ichika suddenly remembered something and said: "I remember, mom seemed to say something to the five of us."
Speaking of this, she suddenly lowered her head and looked at Haruto with a half-smile.
"It seems that if we fall in love, we must keep our eyes open, because some men may seem honest, but they might have some problems behind them."
"Naa~ Kuromori-kun."
Ichika looked at him curiously, her eyes slightly curved, filled with a happy smile: "Do you know what kind of man mom was talking about?"
