Seeing the small, dazed figure sprawled on the landing, a flicker of surprise crossed Haru’s face.
His attention had been entirely focused on Kohaku and Hisui’s soft assets... and the girl’s approach had been completely devoid of malice. That was the only reason he’d been caught so off guard.
Realizing he’d collided with someone—and an adorable loli at that—Haru immediately descended the stairs, rushing to her side.
"What happened? How did that child fall down the stairs?"
"That young man stopped, and the little girl wasn’t paying attention and ran right into him."
"Where are her parents?? Why aren’t they watching their child?"
The parents on the landing crowded around, a murmur of discussion rippling through them.
Haru reached the girl, slid his hands under her neck and waist, and scooped her into his arms. Simultaneously, his perception swept over her small frame, checking for injuries.
"...Eh? Ah!" The little loli, realizing she’d been lifted, a dazed expression on her face, seemed to recall what had just happened.
