Chapter 273: I Can’t Hold It Anymore
Haruto wasn't surprised by Maruo's expression.
Although it was unclear why Maruo hadn't come and broken his legs, it was actually better this way.
Haruto took out a red string: "Uncle Nakano, please accept this red string."
Seeing Maruo staring at him, he said: "Things like today will happen again in the future, and may even become more frequent. Although I'm here, there's no guarantee that there won't be any accidents, so this red string can protect you."
"Plus, you can have peace of mind."
Haruto said seriously: "I promise that I will not deceive your daughters, nor will I act recklessly. I don't expect your support, but I hope uncle won't stop us."
"I know, uncle, you don't trust them with me. But please, Uncle Nakano, give me time to prove it. Please."
Facing his father-in-law, Haruto sincerely begged for the first time because he really liked the quintuplets.
He hoped he could be recognized by their father.
Not because of any conflict caused by himself.
Maruo clenched his fist, looking at the young man who had always been very polite to him with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Because this kid wasn't an ordinary person.
Therefore, the fact that he was able to reach this step actually explained a lot.
It was because of this that he had been turning a blind eye. Otherwise, even for their safety, he wouldn't be able to do this.
After a moment of silence, Maruo said in a low voice: "Okay, I understand, I'm willing to trust you once, Kuromori-kun."
"Don't disappoint me."
"It's a deal."
Haruto extended his fist and saw Maruo staring at him expressionlessly. After thinking about it, he directly took his hand and clenched his fist. Well, this way it wouldn't be awkward.
Maruo: "😐"
Not to mention anything else, but this guy had such thick skin.
Bidding farewell to Maruo, Haruto walked towards Sobu High School.
His phone rang.
Haruto answered the phone: "Uncle Kamiya, good day."
"Good day, Kuromori-sama."
The serious and low voice of the head of the Kamiya family sounded: "Kuromori-sama, is it really unnecessary to erase the memories of civilians now?"
Haruto narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the gloomy sky: "It's no longer necessary now."
"Hm?"
The head of the Kamiya family's heart beat faster: "Kuromori-sama, what do you mean?"
"The seal has been loosened and will soon be opened. When the time comes, I won't be able to hide it even if I want to."
"So it is."
Putting away his phone, Haruto glanced at the gap in the sky.
In fact, he was fully capable of delaying time, such as completely closing the gap in the sky and placing a seal on the oddity.
But he didn't do that.
Because doing this would mean saying goodbye to the Nakano quintuplets and Nishimiya Shoko.
That wasn't what he wanted.
What belonged to him, he decided.
Haruto sighed and walked towards Sobu High School.
❀❀❀
Half an hour later.
The ruins of Sobu High School. It was ruins, because the entire Sobu High School had disappeared.
"Haruto-kun."
Seeing Haruto approaching, Mafuyu couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and hug his body tightly, her delicate body trembling slightly.
"Ahem… you guys talk, I'll go first."
Hiratsuka glanced at the two people hugging each other, feeling a little envious for no reason, because at this moment, she actually needed a warm hug.
It's a pity she couldn't find a suitable partner.
Hearing Hiratsuka's voice, Mafuyu blushed and immediately left Haruto's embrace, holding Hiratsuka's hand.
"Shizuka, come to my house tonight."
"Isn't this bad?"
Shizuka hesitated. Mafuyu was also scared today. Why didn't they vent their anger when they came back?
And if she was there, what if Mafuyu felt embarrassed?
'Although you mean well, even if you don't feel embarrassed at that time, I'm afraid it will be very uncomfortable!'
Thinking about this, Hiratsuka approached Mafuyu's ear and whispered: "Mafuyu, I won't go today. Besides, you are a teacher, so you should pay attention to safety measures at night, and you should pay attention to safety."
Mafuyu blushed, she secretly looked at Haruto, then gritted her teeth and said: "What are you thinking? He and I. We won't do it now!"
Hiratsuka was surprised: "You haven't done it?"
Mafuyu put on a serious face: "I'll hit you!"
Hiratsuka chuckled softly, reached out and hugged Mafuyu, holding back her smile and said: "What are you afraid of? Kuromori can't hear you. Besides, as a best friend, I have to remind you, there are so many girls around that guy, you'd better drop him soon."
"I, I know, but—"
"But what, you fool, you're not young anymore, I'm sure you haven't thought about it."
"Shizuka, you're getting more and more excessive now!"
"Okay, then I won't say anything."
Seeing that they finally finished talking, Haruto raised his eyes: "Are you done? Aren't you going to continue?"
Hiratsuka swung her fist: "What, can't I chat with Mafuyu for a while?"
"Sure."
Haruto's face was expressionless: "But please don't get Mafuyu-chan into trouble."
'Did he hear it?'
Hiratsuka was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned crimson. She almost wanted to find a piece of tofu and kill herself.
She would never face him again!
Haruto glanced at Hiratsuka with disgust, then walked towards the open space in front of him, "Kirisu-sensei, just stand there and don't move."
"Hmm~"
Mafuyu replied, but her heart was very happy.
Fortunately, she wasn't as bold as Hiratsuka, otherwise. She would die of embarrassment.
She just felt sorry for her.
Mafuyu looked at Shizuka with red cheeks in sympathy. This was the first time she had seen her show an embarrassing expression after so long.
Haruto stopped.
He raised his hand and waved lightly.
In an instant, countless dust floated up, directly covering the sky.
The next moment, time began to flow backwards.
If you haven't seen this scene with your own eyes, you won't know how shocking it is.
The floor, grass, trees, teaching buildings, overpass corridors, playground, gymnasium.
Everything recovered.
As if countless dust continuously condensed into buildings, flowers, plants, glass, and trees.
Mafuyu watched this scene with bated breath, a strange light appeared in her eyes.
However, she had seen Haruto's fight in the oddity, so even though this scene was shocking, it was actually okay.
But Hiratsuka's feelings were very different.
She opened her mouth wide and stared blankly at all of this. For a moment, she forgot where she was and what she was doing.
After all, her mind was blank.
In less than three minutes, Sobu High School, including the destroyed area around it, returned to its state before it was destroyed.
After doing this, Haruto didn't feel tired at all.
Just like that night.
Maybe he underestimated his current ability.
Haruto walked to Mafuyu and was about to speak when Hiratsuka suddenly stiffened her neck and turned her head with fiery eyes.
"Kuromori."
"I can't hold it anymore, give it to me now!"
