The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Knowing that he couldn't solve Umaru's problem for now, Hakuto looked at her and said, "How about you stay here for a while? Here, you won't affect the others. You can interact with them safely. Also, if any solution comes up, we can notify you immediately."

That's what he said, but realistically, Hakuto didn't think there was any way to solve Umaru's problem.

[There's no solution, but it's fine to let Umaru stay here temporarily. The only possible way now is to try what Nyaruko suggested. But I'm really not interested in Umaru. For now, I'll let her stay here. If I find a solution later, I'll help her. If not, then I'll see if I can develop some feelings for Umaru and then try what Nyaruko said.]

[So does this count as getting familiar with Umaru first, and then making a move? I feel like this is kind of pretentious and pathetic. But whatever, maybe there will be a way to solve this after all.]

Understanding Hakuto's thoughts, Umaru decisively nodded, having decided to stay in her heart.

"Then, I'll be troubling you for a while."

Umaru gave a slight bow to Hakuto, looking like a proper young lady. If Hakuto didn't know what kind of girl Umaru really was, he might have actually been fooled by her act.

Then Hakuto looked at Yukino and Tifa and said, "How about we go out to eat together?"

"Perverted Master, you go ahead by yourself. Rem and Ram will stay and watch the house."

Ram and Rem didn't plan to intrude on Hakuto and Tifa's private time together. Yukino also refused Hakuto's suggestion. She naturally knew that Hakuto actually planned to go out with Tifa.

"I'm not going either. My sister has some things to discuss with me, so I need to go find her. I'll leave first. About Umaru's situation... if Umaru herself is willing, then you can give it a try."

Yukino had seen the resolute expression on Umaru's face earlier. She was worried that if it really couldn't be solved, Umaru might do something foolish.

"Don't worry, I'm taking this matter seriously."

Yukino then took her leave. Hakuto glanced at Tifa, then went out with her.

Hakuto was going to find Sonoka. Although they had spoken on the phone before, Hakuto still planned to see Sonoka in person, and also to introduce Tifa to Sonoka.

But when Hakuto arrived at Sonoka's restaurant, something was happening there.

In Sonoka's restaurant, a middle-aged man in a suit seemed to say something to Sonoka, then left with an arrogant expression.

Hakuto narrowed his eyes. He saved a picture of the man and sent it to the Yamaguchi-gumi. Only then did he lead Tifa into the restaurant. Tifa had also seen what Hakuto did and roughly guessed his thoughts, but she didn't say anything and followed Hakuto into the restaurant.

"Sonoka."

Sonoka, who was telling the waitstaff to continue operations, lit up with joy upon hearing the voice. She turned to look at Hakuto. "Haku... oh, and this is..."

Seeing that Hakuto wasn't alone but accompanied by a beautiful black-haired girl, Sonoka hesitated.

"Tifa Lockhart. Very happy to meet you, Kikuchi Sonoka."

'So the girl in front of her was Tifa Lockhart, Hakuto's close friend from Amerika?'

Sonoka immediately introduced herself: "I am Kikuchi Sonoka. Nice to meet you, Miss Tifa."

"You two don't need to be so formal. We're all family here."

Hakuto interrupted the pleasantries between the two, then looked at Sonoka and asked, "Who was that middle-aged man who just came in?"

Sonoka shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I can handle it myself."

"If you could handle it yourself, what would you need me for? Never mind, I won't ask you. I've already sent people to look into it."

Hakuto directly interrupted Sonoka. Regardless of who it was, since they were causing trouble for Sonoka, Hakuto would have to have a word with them.

Sonoka seemed about to say something, but Tifa spoke up before her: "Don't say anything more. Once Hakuto decides something, no one can change his mind. And since this matter concerns you, he'll compromise even less. You don't need to take this to heart. If you try to solve everything yourself, it will make him feel useless."

Hearing Tifa say this, Sonoka finally stopped arguing.

Hakuto said to Sonoka, "Tifa came from Amerika. I originally wanted to introduce you two, but unexpectedly witnessed this scene. Later, I'll send someone to your place to help you. Just give them a waiter's identity. On normal days, they'll do whatever waiters usually do."

Understanding what Hakuto was planning, Sonoka was touched but also a little hesitant. "Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

"Don't worry. Normally, they'll just be ordinary waiters. They'll only act when someone comes to cause trouble."

Seeing that Hakuto had said this, Sonoka naturally had no further objections.

Then Sonoka glanced at the time and said, "So, will you two be staying here to eat?"

"Tifa, what do you think?"

"I have no problem. Then I'll be troubling you, Miss Sonoka."

Sonoka nodded, excused herself, and went to cook for them. Tifa said to Hakuto, "Don't you think this feels a bit like you're bringing your mistress to meet your wife? The fact that she doesn't show any emotion means either she doesn't love you, or she loves you to the extreme."

"Definitely the second one."

Hakuto said confidently. Tifa smiled as well. She naturally knew the answer was the second one.

"If it's the second one, then isn't it cruel of you to bring me to see her?"

Hakuto tapped Tifa on the head, wondering why was Tifa so argumentative today?
