Chapter 245: Entering Oddity Again
"Maid outfit?"
Miharu was startled, her cheeks immediately flushed, and she shook her head in panic: "No, that won't work!"
Haruto asked, "Why not? If she wears it, Kirisu-sensei will be sweeter, right?"
"In short, it won't work!"
'Actually, Kuromori-kun wants Onee-sama to wear a maid outfit, he's so wicked!'
After imagining the scene of her older sister in a cute maid outfit, Miharu's face turned red.
It seemed quite nice?
But there was no way her sister could wear it!
And she always felt that maid uniforms were too inappropriate.
Moreover, Haruto's idea was too dangerous.
Her sister was a teacher!
Miharu quickly shook her head and said with a flushed face: "In short, it can't be done, Kuromori-kun, please stop talking!"
"Alright." Haruto's expression was calm as he continued writing, saying, "Now you know why sometimes it's better not to continue, right?"
"It's not that I don't want to or can't, but it's unnecessary."
"But—"
Haruto put on a serious face: "No, I'm thirsty; go get me a glass of water!"
Miharu puffed her cheeks and stared at him. After hesitating for a moment, she got up and ran to pour some water.
Was she really too serious and meticulous?
Was pursuing perfection a bad thing?
But her older sister was so perfect. As a younger sister, how could she embarrass her sister?
Now that Haruto brought it up, it meant her behavior had caused problems.
Wasn't that annoying?
Miharu unconsciously bit her lip, and her mood suddenly became a bit depressed.
"Excuse me."
A few minutes later, Mafuyu arrived.
"Miharu, what's wrong?"
"Hmm~ It's nothing~"
Miharu glanced at Haruto, then quickly shook her head.
When she was with Haruto, not only did she not achieve anything, but she also got scolded.
How could she say something embarrassing?
"Haruto-kun, I've troubled you today."
Since she couldn't cook, Mafuyu could only take her sister to eat at Haruto's place, of course, there was a reason for that.
For example, there was a problem with the gas pipe.
Miharu had no doubt about this.
In her mind, how could her amazing and capable older sister take her to a boy's house next door just because she didn't know how to cook?
Such a thing was utterly impossible.

After dinner, Mafuyu and Miharu left.
Haruto watched TV for a while and waited until midnight before turning off the TV and getting up.
Standing quietly every night, Yoruha asked: "Master, do you want to go to the oddity?"
"Yeah, let's go."
Haruto took a step forward and slowly disappeared into the living room with Yoruha.
❀❀❀
Oddity.
The recent period of oddity had become quieter. However, all of this was only temporary.
Like the calm before the storm, it felt frightening.
Haruto exhaled a white breath and said: "I thought closing the gap in the sky would temporarily block the invasion of oddity, but in reality, it can only slow down the invasion of oddity."
Yoruha tilted her head slightly: "So, will the current climate become abnormal?"
Haruto nodded slightly, his eyes drifting and wandering as if he were distracted and searching for something.
Yoruha pouted her lips and stood silently behind him.
She could feel his emotions.
Because they were so strong.
It started from that night in Itomori Town, and until now, instead of calming down, it had become increasingly intense.
Like oil in a hot pan, it only needed the opportunity to explode perfectly.
But his expression was always so calm that no one noticed anything.
Because Haruto didn't want society to worry.
There were some things that were too weak to be expressed in words.
Just like sadness.
There were also those who were so sad that they cried hysterically.
But there were also some who didn't express their sadness hysterically; however, upon seeing it, they would feel deep sorrow. They didn't cry loudly, perhaps out of fear of expelling their souls.
These things could not be expressed in words at all.
Because humans cannot truly empathize with others.
Thinking from someone else's perspective is even harder to do.
"Found it."
"Master."
As Haruto took a step forward, Yoruha reached out her hand and grabbed his clothes, staring at him without blinking with her pure ruby eyes.
Haruto looked at her: "What's wrong, Yoruha?"
Yoruha pulled back her hand, bowed slightly, then looked at him and said seriously: "Master has many worries, so please stay here."
Haruto extended his hand and touched her head.
Yoruha looked at him, her eyes sparkling slightly.
At this moment, she felt like enjoying this feeling and involuntarily wanted to rub it gently.
What is this?
Happiness?
Or sweetness?
Or is it satisfaction?
Yoruha tilted her head slightly and stared at him with a serious expression on her face.
"I know you're worried, but I refuse." Haruto pulled his hand back: "Sorry, even though I'm not a good man, I can't belittle myself and let a girl take risks."
If he were that kind of person, how could he be so noble as to make those foolish people like him?
Yoruha pursed her lips slightly, then said: "Yoruha is just a lifeless, soulless doll, not a girl."
"I said yes!"
Haruto's tone left no room for doubt.
'So in Master's eyes, I'm also a girl?' Yoruha thought.
"And this time is just to test the existence of Gensokyo, not to directly confront the things behind the oddity."
Haruto said calmly: "So, there's no danger this time, but I still feel I can't enter Gensokyo."
Yoruha immediately said: "Master, please leave it to me!"
Haruto glanced at her: "This is the purpose of bringing you here."
For some reason, Yoruha suddenly felt a bit unhappy.
This was to ensure safety every night.
Haruto had said this a long time ago.
Although he initially used Yoruha as a tool, he changed his mind once this girl had a soul and began to follow him.
He said he wouldn't leave Yoruha, so he definitely wouldn't abandon her.
Do what he said he would do.
Haruto took a deep breath, extended his hand, and grabbed Yoruha's hand: "Let's go!"
The next moment, the space suddenly opened up, like a giant beast opening its mouth and swallowing both of them in one bite.
