Dinner was over.
Everyone returned to their rooms.
Luo Mang headed back to the guest room Tazuna had prepared for them, his head tilted back.
Sakura Haruno followed behind him, looking slightly nervous as she gazed affectionately at his back.
"Is this what they call living together?"
Hehe, I'm so happy~
She muttered under her breath, apparently imagining something wonderful.
Slide-
The door opened, revealing the guest room they had been assigned. It was pitifully small.
Luo Mang took the bedding and quilt he had prepared out of the Diary's storage space.
Sakura's eyes went wide at the sight. How could he pull so many things out of his pocket?
Could such a tiny pocket really hold something that big?
Did that make any sense?
Of course it didn't!
Luo Mang ignored her gaze and laid out his bedding. He didn't want to use what someone else had prepared.
Rustle, rustle~
As he slowly spread it out, Sakura Haruno watched from the side, her eyes darting between Luo Mang and the bedding Tazuna and the others had provided.
The choice seemed obvious.
"Um, Mang-kun, can I sleep with you?"
Sakura Haruno reached for a dangling lock of hair and gently twirled it around her finger, her expression shy and nervous as she spoke.
"Huh?"
Luo Mang turned at the sound of her voice and froze at the sight. Why was this taking such a strange turn?
"I don't want to use someone else's quilt. I won't kick the covers off at night or bother you."
Sakura Haruno hurried over and slowly sat down cross-legged beside the bedding, staring up at Luo Mang with pleading, affectionate eyes.
Seeing the pink-haired girl begging there, Luo Mang felt his heart stir a little. He even wanted to give her a pinch.
"All right."
