Sento saw that Miss Ichiko's expression was wrong.
His heart tightened.
He looked at the Suit Man again, "What just happened? You tell me!"
The Suit Man shrunk his neck, then glanced at Miss Ichiko, who was pursing her lips and silent.
Still, he gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, when I just came in, I saw Miss Ichiko tied to the bed, and then..."
His voice weakened again, "And then Haruko was straddling Miss Ichiko, and the two of them were kissing... kissing..."
Upon hearing this, Sento's eyes suddenly widened.
The other bodyguards also looked shocked.
Who didn't know that their Young Master had deep feelings for Miss Ichiko?
Could such words that were unfavorable to unity be spoken?
"Ichiko, is this true!"
Ichiko glanced to the side and gently shook her head, "No, she just tied me to the bed, and then left me there, warning me... warning me not to get close to you again."
"Phew, that's good." Sento looked at the Suit Man again, "You guy dare to damage Ichiko's innocence, what are you still looking at here? Why aren't you chasing Haruko through the secret door!"
Upon hearing this, Ichiko reached out, wanting to stop the Suit Man again.
But the words reached her lips, and she didn't know how to speak.
Even she herself didn't know why she wanted to defend Haruko.
What she did was clearly too much.
What Ichiko had always wanted was to restore the relationship she once had with Haruko as friends.
But now it's like this, can they really still be friends?
The bits and pieces of their past interactions flooded into her mind, and in the next second, she had a hallucination of Haruko suddenly turning into a yandere just now.
It's been over ten years, why didn't I know at all that Haruko liked me?
Clearly, I only treated her as a younger sister...
She composed herself and said to Sento, "Sento, why don't we just... just leave Haruko alone?"
"You're still speaking up for her?"
"I... she didn't do anything to me, just... just..."
Ichiko was incoherent, not knowing how to explain what had just happened.
Sento snorted, "I know, doesn't she just like me? She doesn't even look at what kind of bird she is, short and ugly, with thicker foundation on her face than the dirt on my shoe soles, she's simply ungrateful!"
"If I could fancy her, unless the sky falls!"
His words were full of disdain.
Sento was arrogant and confident.
Ichiko opened her mouth again, but in the end, she didn't defend Haruko.
She just said weakly, "Haruko actually... knows she was wrong. She just told me she won't bother you anymore in the future, so let's... give her another chance, okay?"
Sento looked at the person he loved, whose eyes were red with tears, and his heart softened.
"Okay, everything is as you wish."
His tone was also gentle, and he reached out, wanting to pull Ichiko into his arms.
What he didn't expect was that Ichiko actually quickly took half a step back.
She avoided his embrace.
His eyes were a little surprised.
Seeing the complex expression on Ichiko's face, he then understood.
Right, Ichiko hadn't agreed to his pursuit yet.
She must want some quiet time now, right?
Or is it because I arrived in time to be her hero, so she's shy?
Hmm, it must be like this!
Sento reached out and brushed his hair, saying to Ichiko, "Let's go out first, to my private Hospital. I'll have the Doctor check your body."
"Okay."
Ichiko nodded blankly.
She always kept a step away from Sento.
He became more certain that Ichiko was shy.
Little did he know, Ichiko's small tongue was prodding the spot in her mouth that had been bitten, and her mind was full of that small figure.
Both confused and relieved.
Meanwhile, after escaping the basement through the secret door, Haruko quickly ran home, orienting herself by memory.
Her hair was a little messy, her hands were in her pockets, and her head was bowed low to prevent passersby from noticing anything unusual.
But that small face was full of anxiety.
"Damn it, I still overestimated this body. I only ran for a little while, and I already feel dizzy."
More importantly, the Suit Man behind her was still in hot pursuit.
[Host, keep going, you're almost home!]
"Shut up, you useless System, or at least do something!"
[Consumed 20 points of Host's emotional value, temporarily increased Host's physique, duration: 3 minutes]
A warm current surged from Haruko's lower abdomen to her limbs. The almost exhausted Haruko stumbled but stabilized her body.
But even so, she was still tired and weak.
She looked back at the Suit Man.
He was now less than twenty meters away from her.
"No, I'll be caught like this, I need to think of something."
Haruko looked around.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
Coming towards her was a tall and strong boy, his eyes revealing the unique foolishness of a university student.
Haruko took three steps in two, and her acting skills immediately exploded.
She stumbled and fell in front of the boy.
Minato was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and quickly helped Haruko up. This was the first time in his 23 years of being single that he was so close to a girl, and he was a little flustered.
His eyes subconsciously looked elsewhere, "Are you okay?"
Haruko whimpered, squeezed out tears, and said in a panic, "Brother, Brother, help me, there's a man in a suit behind me who keeps chasing me!"
"What?!"
Minato's eyes widened.
Afraid that the Suit Man wasn't bad enough, Haruko added a mark for him, "He suddenly kidnapped me just now, wanting to abduct me. I finally managed to escape, and he's still chasing me, woo woo woo..."
Tears streamed down.
The new skill given by the System was used by Haruko with great proficiency.
Now Minato couldn't sit still at all.
Anger rose from his heart.
"In broad daylight, under the clear sky, there's actually such a thing!"
Minato quickly shielded Haruko behind him and looked at the Suit Man, "Is that the person over there?"
"Mm-hmm!" Haruko nodded hard, then asked in a tea-like manner, "That big brother, I see he's quite strong. If you can't handle him, should we just run?"
Could a man say he couldn't?
Minato rolled up his sleeves and walked straight towards him.
Seeing this, Haruko's lips curved into a mischievous smile.
She took the opportunity to quickly run backward, while shouting, "Help! Kidnapping!"
Seeing this, Minato also followed Haruko's words and called out to the enthusiastic crowd, pointing at the Suit Man and saying, "It's him, that guy is a kidnapper!"
The originally confused crowd had already become suspicious upon seeing the fleeing Haruko. With this shout, they immediately reacted.
No wonder this little guy was running so frantically.
It turned out she was being kidnapped and threatened!
Immediately, there were people everywhere eager to do justice. The Suit Man had no choice but to retreat.
And when he went back to report to Sento, he was met with another barrage of abuse, "Useless! You're a 1.8-meter tall guy, you can't catch a 1.5-meter guy, what's the use of keeping you!"
Ichiko was nearby. After hearing the Suit Man's report, she breathed a sigh of relief.
That's great, Haruko wasn't caught. If she were caught by Sento, who was in a fit of anger, the consequences would probably be unimaginable!
At this moment, Sento kicked the Suit Man away, glanced at Ichiko beside him, and then patted his chest in self-comfort.
Forget it, it's really great that Ichiko is okay.
Ichiko had the same thought as Sento.
Although her mind was in turmoil, it was really great that Haruko was okay.
