"Indeed... It's been a long time since we last met, Otome..."
Staring at the dangerous girl clinging to him, Haruka Yuzan decisively expressed his longing for Miss Otome.
Otome Yumeko narrowed her eyes, her gaze no longer filled with the madness and infatuation of their reunion, but instead packed with dangerous reasoning, as if... she was waiting for Haruka to give her a satisfactory answer?
"Yumeko, I've been thinking about you every day. Though it's only been two days, it feels as if I've lived through two centuries, so prolonged and torturous is the suffering caused by longing."
An image of a melancholy, perplexed, handsome young man emerged before Miss Otome. He looked down at the girl, sincerity in his eyes,
[Charm Eyes have been activated]
No, it should be said, this Passive Skill had never been turned off.
Deep and bewitching, just a short gaze had turned Otome Yumeko, who passionately loved Haruka, into a blushing mess. The reasoning and indifference in her eyes were replaced once again by familiar pink little hearts,
She rested her head on Haruka's chest, pouting like a wronged little girl, and muttered,
"Haruka, don't be mad at me, I really like you a lot."
Haruka Yuzan nodded, stretching out his hand to gently stroke the girl's slender back,
Through the thin layer of his shirt, he could even feel the warmth of the girl's flushed face. These eyes of his were indeed a bit terrifying. Combined with his maxed-out Charm value, it's best not to make eye contact with others all too easily...
"You miss me, but you don't come to see me..."
At this moment, Miss Otome finally revealed why she had been upset, wrapping her arms tightly around the boy as she whispered,
"Plus, Chiba Shimizu actually went back to help you ask for leave... and that made me unhappy..."
Haruka Yuzan also understood, at the end of the day, the problem was with Chiba-san. Had the news of his taking leave spread to Miss Otome's ears?
As for not seeing each other for a long time, in reality, this was just the pattern of their relationship. Most of the time, Otome Yumeko was busy dealing with company matters and traveling around. Not encountering each other for a day or two was actually quite normal.
Hmm... if it wasn't for Otome Yumeko adhering to her previous promise, he might have already been bound by her side long ago, living a life filled with shameless closeness.
However, putting all that aside, in front of Haruka Yuzan, Otome Yumeko was always the one in love, a deep love indeed, perhaps even more important than seeing himself. Orıginal content can be found at novel•fire.net
Had she fallen in love to the point where she could consciously restrain her 'yandere' traits? Frankly, even Haruka found this incredible.
She was a girl who tugged at the heartstrings... Thinking this, he looked down at the girl who obediently lay on him,
gripping him tightly as though wanting to fuse with him, afraid of losing him at any moment,
He sighed softly and lifted her chin with his hand,
"Yumeko, you need to believe me. It was just a small favor from Chiba Student."
Eyes meeting, Otome Yumeko obediently nodded,
"Okay, I believe you, it's just... in the future, Haruka, please don't let me hear such rumors, it really hurts me."
Humble, weak, helpless, pitiable, pleading—never would he have thought that these emotions would be found in the esteemed Miss Otome, a person of high status. She, too... could feel this way?
But Haruka had seen it, right here, right now.
On the girl's tender face was a blush that wouldn't fade, her watery eyes filled with grievance, making her look very pitiful,
"Can you do that? Haruka... I really don't want to hear about these things anymore... Even if, even if you are deceiving me... Please, keep lying, ideally... for a lifetime..."
Miss Otome was off today, her soft voice making heart-wrenching requests. Haruka Yuzan lifted her chin, looking at the fragile flower before him with sympathy, whispering softly,
Having said that, he moved directly to kiss those moist, glossy lips.
Scorching, fiery, like molten lava was the passion. This was the only girl Haruka had met who was even more initiative than himself, seemingly wanting to devour him.
Watching Otome Yumeko in front of him, eyes closed, thoroughly enjoying the moment, Haruka Yuzan's heart was filled with complexity.
Although Miss Otome had a 'yandere' side, today, he truly witnessed that extreme, humble love,
the beautiful, esteemed, tough matriarch of the Otome Family, the future helmsman, could cherish someone so deeply.
Cherish someone handsome, well-built, virtuous, energy-efficient, and always ready to help... a scumbag?
A mad world, an inconceivable romance.
Slippery, skillful, and increasingly adept, Otome Yumeko could now perfectly sync with Haruka.
The afternoon sun was exceptionally warming, the beautiful cherry blossoms were discreetly fluttering down over the school.
At this moment, the classrooms were serene, all students having already gathered on the sports field beforehand, dressed in uniform shorts and T-shirts. The only difference lay in the various colored ribbons tied around their heads or arms.
Smiles were abundant on everyone's faces, especially the first-year students who treasured their very first high school festival enormously.
