Chapter 250: A Real Man Never Explains
"Thank you."
Mafuyu tightly held the red string and seriously expressed her gratitude.
Page after page, even though she wished he could kneel at the washboard to reflect, in this case, she had to express her thanks sincerely.
Although Haruto always said there was no problem, she wasn't a fool.
Mafuyu knew full well that there were some changes happening all over the world, and the only place that might be calm was Chiba City.
And all of this was because of Haruto.
The red string he gave her was not just a decoration but also had a "protective" function.
With it, Miharu's safety would at least not pose a problem.
Mafuyu shook off her thoughts and glanced at him. After seeing that he was not angry, she sighed in relief. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "We'll talk about the reward when we get it back tonight. I'm leaving now, don't be late."
After saying these words, Mafuyu hurriedly left in a panic.
Not long after, the roar of a car was heard, and the sound of tires screeching against the ground faded away, and faintly, screams of fear could be heard.
"Miharu, thank you for your hard work."
Haruto took a moment of silence for Miharu for half a second, then returned to the apartment and continued preparing breakfast.
Now, every weekday morning, Nanako and Sora would come for dinner.
After not seeing each other for two days, it was certainly impossible for Sora not to come.
Before long, the familiar sound of "breaking the door" was heard, and the sharp voice of a girl reached Haruto's ears.
"Baka Nii-san, hurry up and open the door, the cutest Nanako is here~"
Yoruha opened the door and saluted: "Miss, please come in."
"Yoruha Nee-san, you're too polite. By the way, Baka Nii-san really left his beautiful younger sister and ran out to play with another girl. This is outrageous~"
"This kind of Nii-san should be tied to a cross, then."
"And then what?" Haruto came out of the kitchen and stared at her expressionlessly.
Nanako trembled and quickly hid behind Sora: "Nii-san is so scary."
Haruto temporarily let go of Nanako and looked at Sora: "Good morning, Sora."
"Good morning."
Sora greeted him, then walked toward the bedroom out of habit.
Haruto wisely chose to remain silent, then returned to the kitchen.
After breakfast, the three of them went out together.
The sun had risen high.
During this period, the weather was clear, so the morning chill quickly disappeared.
"Nii-san, Sora-Nee, Nanako is leaving first~"
Nanako felt a little guilty. When she reached the intersection, she waved goodbye and then decided to run away.
Sora turned and looked at him with suspicious eyes: "Haruto, why are you always staring at Nanako?"
"I'm observing." Haruto averted his gaze and said, "I'm very curious why Nanako seems to still be growing up after all this time."
"Idiot!" Sora glared at him: "You're going to scare Nanako like this."
She raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, sighed, stared at the blue sky, and said gently: "And Nanako is actually very stressed about not growing up, so don't talk nonsense."
Haruto shook his head, then took the initiative to hold her soft and cold hand: "Go faster, if you delay any longer, you'll be late."
"Um."
Sora squeezed his hand, ignoring the strange looks around her, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and then quickened her pace.
Her steps seemed to become more cheerful.

"Yahalo~ Good morning, Kuromori-kun."
"Good morning, Yui."
Hearing this unique greeting, Haruto turned to see a girl wearing a slightly daring dress and an updo running toward him.
As the girl approached, he clearly felt the eyes around her drawn to her.
One thing could be said, Yuigahama was cute, had a good figure, and dressed in a relatively daring way, which always made people feel easy to talk to. Therefore, this girl was indeed a great choice at Sobu High School.
However, Haruto knew that although Yuigahama's appearance was daring, which made people feel like a green pool, in reality, this girl was quite innocent.
Yuigahama brought a fragrant aroma, then playfully poked Haruto's arm with hers and said seriously:
"Kuromori-kun, something serious has happened."
Haruto thought for a moment and said, "What's wrong? Is the Service Club having problems?"
He remembered that the Service Club had been busy during this period, first with the Hachiman incident, and then with the light novel incident involving Zaimokuza Yoshiteru.
Now it seemed there was another commission from Totsuka Ayaka.
The content of the commission was to increase the strength of the tennis club.
Yukino had spoken to him about this issue, but it was not difficult to resolve, so it might not be a problem.
Yuigahama shook her head slightly: "That's not the issue. Although we are indeed facing something more troublesome now, it's just another thing~"
Haruto was not a member of the Service Club, so the issues of the Service Club certainly would not trouble him.
"Kuromori-kun, I told you before~"
Yuigahama shook her head, then jumped forward, turned around, placed her hands behind her back, slightly leaned forward, and looked at Haruto with a teasing face: "You have to think carefully about traveling with another girl. How do you want to explain it?"
"See you on the roof at noon~"
Yuigahama smiled happily, then waved her hand and ran toward Miura and her group who were waiting.
Miura glared at Haruto with a warning look, then pulled Yuigahama away with her.
Haruto averted his gaze.
During this period, because he spent a lot of time with the five sisters of the Nakano family, it was inevitable that they would be noticed.
And once noticed, there would certainly be topics.
Fortunately, he was not the type of person who could be easily suppressed; otherwise, he would have been cornered in the bathroom multiple times.
As one of the active groups at Sobu High School, Miura and her group certainly knew about it.
So it was reasonable for them to act hostile.
As for Yuigahama's explanation...
Sorry.
A real man never explains.
