Chapter 740: Bad luck

"What's wrong?"

While many people might be intimidated by Haruno's gaze, Shishio wasn't one of them.

Still, Haruno's aura was quite prickly, which made the people who looked at her feel uncomfortable, even if she was smiling gently at this moment.

"Shishio-kun, who is this?" Nanami asked curiously and cautiously.

While they had seen Haruno, they didn't know her at all. Still, they had to say this woman was bold to appear in front of Shishio.

However, this was the truth.

In the area around Sakurasou, it might appear like a normal neighborhood, but what they didn't know there were many of his bodyguards that were living in this place, protecting him and the people he cared about for 24 hours and seven days.

To be honest, this wasn't really necessary, but he had too much money, and not using them was such a waste, especially when that money was taken for tax, so even if it might seem outrageous, Roberta told him that it was necessary.

It might seem ridiculous, but he was rather famous in this country, so he had a lot of fans.

While it was good to have a lot of fans, especially when they could help him to vote for him to become a prime minister in the future, many of them weren't normal in their heads.

It was also similar to the woman in front of him.

Her head definitely wasn't right.

'If your mother knows that you have visited me...'

Even if his engagement with Yukinoshita was annulled with his sophistry, without a doubt, the two families knew whether he and Yukinoshita would marry each other. Their relationship was clear, so why should Haruno appear here?

He sighed inwardly and thought this woman was troublesome, especially when he just wanted to spend a relaxing day with his girlfriends during this time.

"She is Yukino's big sister. Her name is—"

Before he finished his words, his words were cut.

"Ah, I haven't introduced myself. How rude of me." Haruno approached them with a gentle smile and wanted to introduce her name, but she was cut by Shishio. "My name is—"

"Her name is Haruno Yukinoshita."

"....."

Haruno stared at Shishio, but he ignored her.

She had cut her, so he also cut her words.

historical

After all, if this continued and he let it slide every time, he was afraid that this woman would think that he would forgive what she had done every time.

Still, unexpectedly, Haruno's smile became brighter instead of frowning. "Yes, my name is Haruno Yukinoshita. Nice to meet all of you."

"....."

However, Shishio felt that this smile was a bit eerie.

Meanwhile, the others didn't realize, and they introduced themselves one by one since they weren't a bad girl, and their relationship with Yukinoshita was quite good, so they also felt good about Haruno, especially when Haruno was a master at communication.

Even if Haruno only talked for a moment, their relationship quickly warmed up, and they became closer.

"I didn't know there was one more girl on the Sakurasou." Haruno looked at Ryuunosuke.

"I am a man," Ryuunosuka said plainly before he left and entered Sakurasou. After all, a woman had always been his nemesis. Still, before he entered, he stopped for a moment, looking at Shishio in a complicated mood before he walked.

"..."

"Well, leaving this aside..." As expected, even if Ryuunosuke was so cold, it didn't really bother Haruno since, for her, he was nothing but a stranger. "Can I borrow him?" She pointed her finger at Shishio with a gentle smile.

"....." Everyone.

"Sorry, no."

However, Shishio refused without hesitation. "We're about to have a party. You, outsider, have you stay still. Go back, woman." He didn't want to go out now and wanted to stay since he knew whatever she was going to do would be troublesome. He was also afraid that he might not be able to go back since if he stayed with her, he was afraid to seduce her too.

More importantly, he could meet Haruno anytime, but Rita's time was limited since Rita would return to England at the end of the cultural festival.

"What? How could you say that?! You're so cruel..."

Haruno acted like she was so sad and crying, causing all of them to feel sorry.

"..." Shishio.

Woman's tears... oh, what a cheating weapon.

Even if Shishio knew that Haruno was acting, it didn't mean that the others knew.

Haruno's tears were so real, and anyone who saw her would feel sorry.

"Shishio-kun, you should go with her..."

"Yeah, we can start the party later."

"Yes, I will only take him for one or two hours," Haruno added while crying.

"Well, that isn't that long."

To be honest, if this woman took Shishio for a night, even if they felt dissatisfied, they might not say anything since even Shishio had to admit that Haruno's acting was so good that it was enough to deceive everyone.

More importantly, he realized how gullible his women were.

He had to say that they were cute, but he knew that they had to be careful since not everyone in this world was so gentle.

"Only one or two hours?" He asked in doubt.

"What? Do you want to spend a night with me? Shishio-kun, you're ecchi..." Haruno looked at him shyly with a blush.

"..."

Shishio had to say that their stares were painful, especially Rita, who looked at him with grief as if he had wronged her.

"You won, woman."

While the girls didn't seem to notice it, Shishio could see that Haruno showed a smug smile.

"I will go back quickly. You don't need to worry."

Everyone in the Sakurasou nodded, but Rita somehow felt that those words were meant for her, which made her hum before she looked away shyly, trying to hide her blush.

They told him that they were going to prepare the ingredients for the takoyaki before he returned, so they could start the takoyaki party immediately.

"How nice... a takoyaki party..." Haruno murmured as she glanced at him.

"What do you want to talk about?" Shishio knew that talking too much would be a waste of time, so he wanted to know what she wanted to talk about and why she would appear so suddenly.

"Geez, impatient, aren't we?" Haruno sighed, then said, "Accompany me."

"Where?"

"Driving."

"Driving?"

---

"...."

Shishio was in the passenger seat quietly while looking at the speedometer of Haruno's car.

'213 km/h...'

After he followed her, he didn't expect that she would bring him to the highway, and she also drove her car so fast.

While it might not be related, he remembered that he also did this before with his car when Nana asked him.

Was it dangerous?

Of course.

However, he had "Driving Mastery," so everything was okay, but this woman didn't have it, which worried him.

Still, even if they crashed, he knew that he could save all of them. Instead, it might be good if they crashed since that way, she could learn how dangerous her action was.

As for the police? He only laughed since he knew as long as one's speed was above 180 km/h, the police would give up chasing after them.

Why did the police give up?

The reason was simple and it was because their machines didn't allow them to chase after them.

"Can you slow down a bit? I want to talk with you?"

"Geez. If you're scared, just tell me, okay?" Haruno laughed before she slowed down the car above 100 km/h.

"You know, if I know you like a car, we might be able to drive a car together."

"Can you drive a car?"

"You don't know?"

"...if I know, I will call you to accompany me."

If she knew this guy could drive a car, she would bring him with her to drive together since she was sure it would be fun to race with him.

There aren't many cars in this country, so many streets in this country could become race courses.

This also made her wonder where they should race later.

'On the mountain? No, the highway is better.'

"Do you like driving?"

Haruno didn't look at him. Instead, she smiled as she looked at the street and said, "Yes, I like it."

"I see."

"It makes me feel free. I feel that I am not shackled with anything, and I can be anything when I drive my car as fast as I want."

"Hmm..."

He glanced at her and realized she might not be as perfect as it seemed. However, in front of Yukinoshita, she had to be perfect since, as a big sister, she wanted her little sister to look her up. Still, her way of love was kind of messed up.

By now, he realized that no one in the Yukinoshita family seemed able to confess their feelings honestly, which made him speechless.

As the car sped up, he felt a bit thirsty, and at the same time, why did he feel a bit restless?

He shook his head and thought that he might think too much.

---

Even if Haruno loved to drive, she wouldn't do it all the time. It had been half an hour since she had been driving, so they went out from the highway and stopped at the nearby convenience store.

"What do you want? I will treat you?"

The two walked out of the car at the same time before she asked that question.

"Well, I will get mineral water."

"Okay."

There weren't many people in the convenience store or on the street. The two bought something before they returned to the car, but they didn't immediately enter; instead, they stood next to each other while leaning on the side of the car, enjoying the quietness.

Her mood had been quite prickly before, but after she spent time with him, she felt relieved and happy. They might not talk, and he might not tell her that she was the most beautiful woman, but at this moment, she didn't need an admirer and only wanted someone to accompany her. This someone should be someone who could see her the way she was.

"Say, Shishio..."

"Haruno, enter the car quickly."

"Huh?"

She saw his expression become solemn and also followed his gaze before her pupils shrunk since she didn't expect to meet this person.

The sound of the whistle sounded so frivolous.

"Date? Can I join you two?"

Shishio didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly told everything.

Kill.
