"..."
Haruto's mouth moved: "Uncle Ogata, it's me."
Ogata's father suddenly stopped his actions. However, to Haruto's surprise, instead of calming down, the other party became even angrier.
"Son of bitch, thanks to my daughter treating you as a friend, you actually secretly bullied her mother while she was gone?"
Haruto almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
'Who bullied Rizu's mother! You need to explain the situation to me before you speak!'
When Mrs. Ogata heard this, she couldn't help but have a few black lines appear on her head. She lifted her face and stared at her husband with a smile on her face: "What are you saying? Say it again?"
Ogata's father trembled and immediately put away his kitchen knife: "I didn't say anything."
As he said that, he looked at Haruto, and his eyes immediately became very fierce again.
'How dare you make my wife cry? We're not done yet! If you have the guts, don't run!'
Reading Ogata's father's gaze, Haruto felt uncomfortable.
He was treated like this before when he walked with Rizu, but now Rizu wasn't here.
If he didn't owe anything, he would let the other party experience Esper terror every minute!
"Husband."
"Yes."
Ogata's father immediately looked at his wife, with a flattering smile on his face.
"Don't scare the guests!"
"Understood!"
Seeing Ogata's father's obedient expression, not only Haruto but also the quintuplets were speechless.
Ichika whispered: "This might be called strict wife control?"
After escorting Ogata's father back, Mrs. Ogata looked at Haruto with a flushed face.
"Kuromori-kun, I apologize, please come in and sit down."
"Thank you."
Haruto thanked her and walked to his seat to sit down. Soon after, the four sisters also sat around him.
Seeing the four sisters, Mrs. Ogata had a surprised expression on her face.
Soon, her eyes dimmed again.
She thought of her daughter, the same thing happened to Rizu when she brought Haruto back.
"Aunt Ogata, come with me."
"Eh?"
In a moment, Haruto had arrived in front of Mrs. Ogata. After saying this, he ignored Ogata's father, who stuck his head out and glared at him, and walked directly towards the corner.
Although it would be better to go straight upstairs, this could easily be misunderstood.
What if Ogata's father misunderstood and ran again with a kitchen knife. It would be very troublesome. Although Mrs. Ogata was petite, with fair and delicate skin and a beautiful appearance, she was even fiercer.
Mrs. Ogata looked at him in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and followed him.
Although she wasn't very familiar with Haruto, her daughter was very familiar with him and often did homework together.
But, what would Haruto do alone with her?
In the corner, Haruto pulled out a chair: "Aunt Ogata, please sit down."
"Thank you."
Mrs. Ogata pursed her lips, whispered something, then sat down.
Haruto sat opposite her, then took out his phone, opened the photo album and handed it to her, "Aunt Ogata, here it is."
"Kuromori-kun, what is this?"
"That's Rizu."
"..."
Mrs. Ogata's hand holding the phone froze slightly, and mist filled her autumn eyes again.
Haruto took out a tissue and handed it to Mrs. Ogata: "Aunt Ogata, I'm sorry for taking so long to come see you."
Mrs. Ogata shook her head gently, "Kuromori-kun, Aunt is very happy to see you come out now. If Rizu-chan knew, she would be very happy too."
Therefore, Mrs. Ogata started flipping through the photos.
However, the more she looked at the photos, the more she felt something was wrong.
The photos were full of Rizu, some looking serious, some sleeping on the table, some standing in front of the Udon restaurant, and some squatting by the river, touching the clear river water with their hands.
Forget it, there was a funny photo of Rizu waking up with sleepy eyes, messy pajamas, showing most of her snow-white skin, raising her hand and yawning.
Mrs. Ogata continued to scroll down.
Then she took out a photo of her daughter wrapped in a bath towel, expressionless, eyes wide open, staring intently at her.
Mrs. Ogata: "😐"
Continue scrolling down.
Rizu was sitting in the bathtub and poking a little yellow duck.
Continue scrolling down.
Rizu was sitting on a small stool, rubbing her back with one hand.
Mrs. Ogata suddenly put down her phone, her cheeks flushed, and she said with embarrassment and anger: "Kuromori-kun, I'm Rizu-chan's mother!"
"I know."
Haruto thought for a moment and said, "Aunt, you're Rizu's mother, so I showed you these photos."
Most of these photos were taken every night.
In the past few days, he didn't enter Gensokyo because his superpowers were unstable and might affect the boundaries of Gensokyo.
But Yoruha entered every day.
However, Haruto only flipped through a few photos, so he didn't know how daring these photos were.
After all, Yoruha took photos based on the principle of "Master likes it".
As a result, some of her photos were very daring.
In Mrs. Ogata's eyes, these were clearly personal photos of her daughter and a man together!
However, this person showed these photos to herself.
What did he want to do?
Could it be that because he lost Rizu, he shifted his target to her, who was very similar to Rizu?
"I'm Rizu-chan's mother!" Mrs. Ogata blushed and couldn't help but say.
"?"
Seeing Mrs. Ogata looking at him with a red face, a few question marks appeared in Haruto's head: "If it's Aunt, it should be okay, right?"
'Actually, you said it's okay?'
Mrs. Ogata felt embarrassed and panicked. Suddenly she stood up, clenched her fist, and shouted angrily: "I will never betray my husband!"
"Ha?"
Haruto's face darkened and he couldn't help but say: "Mrs. Ogata, I just wanted you to see Rizu's photos. What are you thinking!"
"Eh?"
Mrs. Ogata opened her eyes wide: "Is that all?"
"Otherwise, you think I'll treat you to something."
Haruto took a deep breath and said directly: "Aunt Ogata, don't you notice that Rizu's hair in the photo is longer?"
Rizu's hair?
Mrs. Ogata looked at the photo and observed it carefully. It seemed that Rizu's hair had grown a little longer.
But what does this mean?
Seeing Mrs. Ogata's blank eyes, Haruto sighed, covered his forehead and said: "In short, Rizu isn't dead, but she won't be able to come back for now."
