It was a bit too embarrassing.
Miss Ran deliberately stood up and walked back, "If you don't want it, then I'll delete it."
"Don't..."
Ichiko reached out and grabbed the corner of Miss Ran's clothes, whispering, "You... You add me on Massenger and send it to me."
"OK~"
The photo was transferred, and they also went through the procedures to adopt the King, plus they were given a pile of things like cat litter, cat treats, teaser wands, and a whole bunch of other items.
Not to mention girls, even an adult man would probably struggle to carry it.
This also made Ichiko and Haruko give Inari another good person card.
Not only did they get the cat for free, but the accompanying items were worth one or two thousand.
Although there were many things, luckily Ichiko was stronger than an average adult man.
She let Haruko hold the King, while she easily lifted the pile of things, canceled their original plan to go to the mall, and headed home instead.
As soon as they entered the downtown area, Haruko's Perception Skill gave a faint alert again.
Looking left and right, she didn't find Black appearing in any corner.
They returned home all the way without any accidents.
Arranged the cat bed and put away the things.
Perhaps it was Haruko's affinity skill; the King quickly accepted new things and became completely familiar with the house in no time.
But its temper was indeed a bit big; if Haruko wanted to hold it, it wouldn't necessarily let her.
It wasn't until evening, when the day was almost over, and after dinner, that Ichiko planned to leave, "Haruko, I still have some things to do, so I'll head off now."
Haruko was a bit reluctant, "Ichiko, aren't you sleeping here tonight?"
Ichiko comforted her, saying, "I have a night shift at my part-time job, and I also need to go see the counselor tonight to get a leave slip. I'll come back tomorrow, okay?"
As she spoke, she paused, and Ichiko reached out and stroked Haruko's beautiful hair, "Be good. I'll come over tomorrow to make you breakfast. We've been out for half the day today, and Haruko's health isn't great, so you get tired easily, right? Take a bath and go to bed early tonight."
"Okay."
Haruko nodded gently when she heard the word "good" that Ichiko said.
She could completely play the yandere and make Ichiko stay, and even keep Ichiko here for the next few days.
But she didn't do that.
If she forced it like that, Ichiko would definitely be unhappy.
Just like she said.
As long as I'm obedient, she will always like me and stay by my side.
Ichiko left, Haruko sat on the sofa, and the King lay on her lap, enjoying the petting.
Beside her, that Black appeared again.
She always appeared beside Haruko like a mirror or a friend when Haruko was calm or feeling down.
Haruko waited for a long time but didn't wait for Black to open her mouth and tempt her.
She frowned and was the first to ask, "Aren't you going to say something like before?"
Black smoothed the wrinkles on the formal dress on her leg and said faintly, "I'm just here to keep your lonely self company."
Haruko gave a cold laugh, "You know you can't persuade me. Ichiko likes me very much today, and I will always believe her."
"Don't be so nervous," Black said faintly, "You and I are originally one. Ichiko won't be lonely without you by her side."
"She has people who pursue her, friends she can confide in, a Teacher who cares about her, colleagues who help and understand each other. She has never lacked anything by her side."
"But what about you?"
"If it weren't for this new little cat, once Ichiko leaves, you would only have loneliness as your companion."
"You can only pitifully beg Ichiko not to leave."
She bent down and quietly looked at Haruko's profile, "In your previous life, you also trusted your ex-girlfriend like this, right? What was the result?"
Her originally stable heart was gradually provoked into restlessness again.
Haruko snorted, "You still want me to wear the yandere mask, I won't be tempted by you!"
The deeper the trust, the deeper the hurt.
Haven't you had enough of the lessons that were so painful you chose to forget them?
Black meaningfully curved the corner of her lips, "Is 'yandere' the mask, or is the current 'you' the mask?"
