That's Way Too Shameless!
This happiness likely stems from the pressure and burden she accumulated from receiving an elite education from a young age and being held in Mrs. Yukinoshita.
Now she has suddenly met a boy who is perfectly compatible with her, and almost every word he says touches her heart, which has really surprised and delighted her.
She was so surprised that she almost forgot that Fushimi Makoto and her younger sister had a very good relationship, and might even be lovers.
"See you next time then, take care on your journey~"
"Thanks."
With a smile, Haruno Fushimi Makoto walk into the elevator, and only turned back when the elevator began to descend.
Back in the living room, she saw her mother sitting quietly, seemingly lost in thought. She said jokingly, "I kind of regret meeting him so late."
"Um?"
Mrs. Yukinoshita quickly came to her senses and looked up at her daughter.
Haruno sat down on the sofa, resting her chin on her hand, as if talking to herself. "If I had known beforehand that chatting with him would be so enjoyable, I wouldn't have waited until now to get to know him."
"Makoto is indeed very good at chatting, whether with elders or peers." Mrs. Yukinoshita said calmly, as if she had no thoughts at all.
"You heard my conversation with him just now, right? Logically speaking, he doesn't know me and we're not familiar with each other, but every time he answers my questions, he does so in a way that satisfies me."
"Perhaps Yukino mentioned you to him?"
"It's possible, but unlikely." Haruno seemed very certain. "Even if Yukino talked to him about me, given Yukino's personality, she probably wouldn't say much."
Mrs. Yukinoshita did not object this time; she was well aware of the relationship between her two daughters.
However, she still offered a word of caution. "Yukino has become incredibly talented. If you continue to judge her with the same old perspective, you might be surpassed by her."
"Huh? You think so highly of Yukino now?" Haruno, somewhat surprised.
But her face showed only surprise, without the slightest hint of jealousy or envy.
"It's not that I have high hopes for Yukino, but rather that Yukino's hard work moved me, and besides, I've witnessed all the progress she's made over the past few months."
Mrs. Yukinoshita said this, she cleverly concealed her true feelings.
Yukino's progress is inseparable from Fushimi Makoto.
Once she thinks of Fushimi Makoto, a whole bunch of random things come to mind.
It wasn't just the help Yukino received from the other person, but also the fact that the two juniors had known each other for so long, their relationship had grown stronger, and they had both become more and more outstanding.
She had witnessed Yukino's progress and changes.
Moreover, given Yukino's personality, she probably already accepted Fushimi Makoto long ago; otherwise, he wouldn't visit Yukino home so often.
I also have a lot on my own.
And they're all the kind of things that don't allow for deep thinking.
Not to mention that Haruno was sitting right across from her, so even if she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, she couldn't show them on her face.
If I had to sum it up, it would be this: there has never been such a wonderful ending.
This time, it's for him to see.
Next time...
Haruno, of course, was unaware of these things; she was still thinking about Fushimi Makoto and Yukino: "Mother, what do you think their relationship is now? Good friends? Or lovers?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Mrs. Yukinoshita glanced at her casually.
Haruno grinned and said, "I'm just curious."
Mrs. Yukinoshita did not respond.
She could see Haruno's thirst for knowledge.
Moreover, this thirst for knowledge probably involves more than just curiosity and gossip.
The more this was the case, the less she wanted to mention it.
Because...
She actually felt unhappy.
So she then shifted the conversation to Yukino's new short film.
Fortunately, Haruno was equally interested in this matter, and the mother and daughter had a pleasant conversation.
On the other side.
After returning home, Fushimi Makoto was distracted.
What happened today left such a deep impression on him that he can't forget it even now.
You could even say he still remembers everything that just happened.
Fushimi Makoto remembered every detail, every action, including the changes in her expression.
"This is going to be really funny."
Fushimi Makoto examined the rewards he had received, and both the [Charm Badge] and the [Fantasy Badge] could be considered the "culprits".
It's not just that beautiful woman today.
The same goes for Sawamura Sayuri, whom I encountered at the mall previously.
The effects of these two badges were so overpowered that Sawamura Sayuri rushed to the restroom.
Although Sayuri Fushimi Makoto didn't witness Sayuri's condition firsthand, he guessed that when she finally emerged from the restroom, her legs must have felt light as a feather...
From this perspective, I deserve at least one-third of the credit for these two badges.
Because the events of the day were so shocking, Fushimi Makoto barely slept that night.
Although he was still full of energy when he woke up the next morning, those exciting images lingered in his mind for a long time.
"I need to find something to do and relax."
After thinking for Fushimi Makoto decided to activate the Time Loop.
He hadn't used this thing for quite some time.
While he can do whatever he wants in Time Loop world, staying there for too long can easily give people a strange feeling.
Can't distinguish between reality and Time Loop?
It's not that bad, but it just feels a bit strange.
[The host has activated the Time Loop.]
Upon receiving the system's cold notification, Fushimi Makoto first washed up and ate a meal before picking up his phone to send a message to Yukino: [You don't need to go to school today.]
It was too early; it was barely dawn, Yukino was probably still asleep, so she didn't reply to the message immediately.
After Fushimi Makoto went out for a run, there was no movement from Yukino's side.
However, instead of sending a message, she called directly.
"It's starting again?" Her voice was clearly tinged with excitement after the call connected.
"Um."
I'll come find you tonight.
"Um?"
Fushimi Makoto was taken aback.
Has she taken the initiative?
Chapter 221 This is too despicable!
In fact, Yukino's suggestion to go find Fushimi Makoto wasn't about doing anything shameful.
She has always had a good memory. In the days leading up to the Time Loop last time, she had been studying diligently at home to improve her skills, and thus neglected Fushimi Makoto.
She still remembered what Fushimi Makoto had said, "Because I had nothing to do, I went for a stroll in Kabukicho."
This time, Yukino decided to spend a few days with Fushimi Makoto before going to study.
Otherwise, if that scoundrel goes off and causes trouble again, it'll be too annoying.
Although if Fushimi Makoto wanted to, the other people in the Time Loop wouldn't retain their memories, and Yukino wouldn't be in trouble, she still felt awkward.
"The best-case scenario is that he doesn't cause trouble and studies with me."
Yukino had a great idea.
He's obviously after me, so I'll just go along with him.
This way, I can keep him by my side and also learn from him to continue improving.
Having made a decision, Yukino felt much better.
She had a big smile on her face while washing up.
The only thing that made her regretful was that her mother sent her a message in the morning saying that she would be meeting with her that morning.
So I can only go see that guy again at night...
Etc!
Yukino suddenly realized a problem.
She had also opened and checked the bag that Fushimi Makoto had delivered to her house last time.
It contains not only cat ears, but also a cat tail and cat paws.
A complete catgirl outfit!
"This Time Loop came so suddenly, without him even telling me beforehand. Does that mean he's secretly planning to make me wear a catgirl outfit?"
Yukino glanced at the catgirl outfit she had hidden in her closet, and her feelings suddenly became complicated.
After spending so much time together, she was well aware of how attractive she was to Fushimi Makoto.
That guy's a pervert!
Not just my legs, but also my waist, and...
Yukino feels embarrassed every time she thinks about how she clung to him like an octopus, only to become weak and powerless in the end.
If nothing unexpected happens, as long as I wear the catgirl outfit this time, he will definitely be unable to resist playing with me again... playing with me.
Yukino grew increasingly angry and simply sent Fushimi Makoto a message: [You really are a pervert!]
Fushimi Makoto, who was running laps, saw Yukino's message and a question mark immediately appeared on his forehead.
"What heinous thing have I done this time?"
He didn't understand.
The two were so far apart and had never met, so of course he couldn't possibly know what Yukino was thinking.
So he continued training, figuring he could see Yukino that evening and ask her then.
If you can't get a clear answer from the questions, then you'll have to pick up the pointer and ask yourself.
Given Fushimi Makoto's monstrous physical abilities, this kind of training session would last at least two hours without any breaks.
As he ran laps for longer periods, the once quiet streets gradually became lively.
As he passed an apartment building, he found that the area below was almost completely surrounded by pedestrians, all looking up at him with terrified expressions, and some were even making anxious phone calls.
Fushimi Makoto glanced up and saw a two-year-old child hanging from the balcony of a resident's house, seemingly on the verge of falling at any moment.
"Excuse me, could you move aside?"
Fushimi Makoto, dressed in sportswear, casually pushed aside the crowd of onlookers who were crowding in front of him.
These people were no match for him; with a casual shove, those blocking his way staggered to the sides.
"Hey, what are you doing...?"
The complaints from the onlookers had barely subsided when they abruptly stopped.
To be precise, everyone present was stunned into silence.
Because they witnessed Fushimi Makoto leap directly onto the second-floor balcony, and then use the balcony as a springboard to easily reach the fourth floor.
"Holy crap, Jackie Chan Adventures!"
