"Exactly, Haruno-san, you're being too greedy."
"Haven't you thought about them?"
Tenya raised his hand and pointed behind him at Miko, Hana, Rikka, Megumi, Rukia, Yui, and Yukino.
Hana exclaimed, "Oh no, Miko!"
"Boyfriend-kun is a philanderer!"
Miko's lips twitched as she said, "You're only realizing that now?"
Rikka indignantly said, "Aren't there too many names on the contract?"
Rukia said, "What a noble-like statement!"
Perhaps having received a noble education in the Soul Society, Rukia didn't find it strange at all.
"Huh?"
"Am I included too?"
"Hehehehehe."
Yui chuckled with a surprised look.
"Yuigahama-san, this is nothing to be proud of!" Yukino complained weakly.
"I'm afraid it's far more than this number..." Megumi seemed to have seen through everything.
Haruno exclaimed, "What?!"
"Although I know Tenya-kun isn't an ordinary man, isn't your idea a bit too outrageous?"
Ever since she had first met Tenya at her sister's rental apartment, Haruno had a rough idea of what kind of person he was.
She could even predict that when she had asked the question, "Is Tenya-kun planning to abandon Yukino and pursue me instead?", he would reply with a scumbag statement like, "I want both of the sisters."
What Haruno hadn't expected, however, was that he would want *all* of them.
Calling his behavior "two-timing" is an understatement.
Yukino said with her eyebrows slightly raised, "Sister, give up."
"Your skilled tongue won't work in front of him."
It was as if seeing her usually strong sister suffer a setback brought a strange sense of satisfaction.
"It's not necessarily useless..."
Tenya's gaze was suggestive.
"Wow! Boyfriend-kun, you can't do that!" Hana made a stopping gesture with a red face.
"Cough cough!"
"I don't understand what you mean."
Miko's gaze drifted, pretending to look at the scenery.
"???"
Yukino's eyes still held the clear look of not being contaminated by impure knowledge.
"Hmph!"
Haruno said, "To actually flirt right in front of me!!"
"Tenya-kun, you really have some nerve!!!"
Haruno let out a heavy snort, feeling even more annoyed.
She was holding Tenya's hand and suddenly squeezed it hard.
Having practiced Aikido since childhood, her martial arts skill might not have reached world class, but she could certainly easily beat an ordinary person in an one on one.
Feeling the strength from Haruno's hand, Tenya couldn't help but laugh inwardly. But he still managed to suppress his laughter on his face.
He even deliberately put on a slightly pained expression.
Haruno said, "How about that? Kid, do you now realize that you were wrong?"
She thought she had won and beamed with a triumphant smile.
"Yes, I know I was wrong, but I won't change!" Tenya returned a smile to her and said.
Haruno said, "Naughty juniors need a bit of strict education!"
Haruno's eyebrows shot up, and she increased the force in her hand.
Whether it was an illusion or not, out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to vaguely see the other girls showing expressions of pity.
Were they feeling sorry for Tenya?
What a sinful man!
"How scary~" Tenya put on a pained expression.
"Ah! Sister, let me give you a piece of advice."
"Competing in martial arts with him is undoubtedly asking for trouble!"
Yukino finally couldn't hold back and advised her sincerely.
"What... Huh?"
Haruno was confused and was about to ask why, but she saw Tenya's mouth twitching slightly.
Tenya said, "Sorry."
"I'm a professional."
"Usually I can hold back from laughing, unless I can't help it... Pfft!"
Tenya's mouth curved into a perfect arc.
How could Haruno not understand that she had just been played?
"Tenya!!!"
The enraged Haruno immediately started pounding Tenya's chest fiercely with her small fists.
With her martial arts skill, even a professional, if hit by with all her might, would probably have to step back half a step.
However, to Tenya, this was like tickling and acting spoiled.
"Haruno-san, did you not eat?"
This sentence didn't do much damage, but it was extremely insulting.
"You...!"
Haruno was already very angry, and coupled with the exhaustion from her vigorous punching, she couldn't catch her breath.
Seeing stars, her foot slipped and she fell backward.
"Sister!"
Yukino, quick-witted, was about to step forward to catch her. But Tenya intercepted her even faster.
He simply reached out his arm, wrapped it around Haruno's soft waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
In an instant, a strong masculine scent filled the air.
This made the already dizzy Haruno flush red all over, as if she were drunk.
"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Yukino glared at him and said.
"You figured that out?" Tenya said.
"Tenya-kun, maybe don't bully Haruno-san too much?" Miko advised tactfully.
"I wasn't the one who started the trouble." Tenya stated the facts and reasoned.
Since Haruno had arrived, she had been constantly instigating trouble, and even started hitting him.
If it were anyone else, he would have slapped them a long time ago.
"He's very vengeful." Rukia muttered softly.
"Ah~ Someone is coming this way..."
Megumi, who had been playing on her phone nearby, suddenly spoke up to remind them.
"Yoshida Tenya!"
"Let go of Haruno!!"
The person who had arrived was none other than Hayato. He had come running over in a huff.
Then, for some unknown reason, his legs went numb, and he fell without any warning.
"Is this the Aura of a King?"
"Using invisible aura to suppress opponents!"
Rikka gave a serious chuunibyou explanation.
Tenya gave her a thumbs-up and said, "As expected of my best friend, the Evil King's True Eye User!"
Throughout the entire process, he didn't even spare a glance at Hayato, who had fallen to the ground.
"Hayato, you suddenly ran off without a word, what are you doi...ng?!"
Yumiko, who was following behind, froze the moment she saw Hayato sprawled on the ground without any dignity.
Because of the "Water Release ninjutsu" rumor, Hayato's image in her heart had dropped significantly.
However, since he had taken the initiative to explain, Yumiko's heart softened, and she agreed to forget about it.
Who would have thought that as they were talking, Hayato, upon seeing Haruno, would run off without looking back?
Their years of companionship meant nothing?
"Oh my~ Isn't this Hayato-kun?"
"What happened to you?"
Haruno's eyes slightly narrowed, and a smile that didn't reach her eyes appeared on her face.
The Yukinoshita and the Hayama family have close business ties, and the elders of both families had intended to arrange a marriage, setting her up with Hayato.
This manipulated life made Haruno extremely unhappy.
"Haruno..."
"I will definitely save you!!"
Hayato gritted his teeth, trying to stand up, but an invisible mountain seemed to be pressing down on him, forcing him to remain prostrate on the ground.
Haruno said, "Hayato-kun, you seem to have misunderstood something."
"Tenya-kun didn't force me. I threw myself into his arms, you know."
Haruno grinned, intentionally raising her fair wrist to wrap around Tenya's neck right in front of Hayato.
