The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Hakuto looked at Vermouth, who had appeared out of nowhere, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly.

"I'm not interested in Mouri Ran. So, you don't need to worry about me having any thoughts about her."

"That's what you say, but some things don't obey your will. For example, you and Kisaki Eri had no connection originally, but suddenly you had a relationship."

Hakuto's brow furrowed slightly. He looked at Vermouth before him and said calmly, "Are you spying on me?"

Vermouth quickly shook her head, denying it. "I don't have the time to spy on you, nor do I have the courage. I was just following Ran, and happened to find out about you and Kisaki Eri."

Alright, Hakuto could accept that reason. Judging by Vermouth's current situation, it was indeed very possible that she had learned about this from Ran.

And if she really had the courage to follow him, Hakuto wouldn't mind killing her.

"So, you came to me to tell me to stay away from Mouri Ran? But have you considered one thing? What status are you using to say this to me?"

Utterly nonsensical. Hakuto didn't even know if he should laugh at Vermouth for not knowing her place. What level was Vermouth that she dared to come talk to him and make demands?

[It seems I give off the impression of being easy to talk to. Otherwise, how could Vermouth have the courage to come to me and tell me to stay away from Mouri Ran? Who gave Vermouth the guts? Utterly courting death.]

Vermouth looked at Hakuto before her, and the corner of her eye couldn't help but twitch. It seemed she really had been a bit arrogant. Hakuto wouldn't give her any respect at all!

Now, Vermouth also smiled bitterly. She really had forgotten herself when it came to matters concerning Ran, to the point of forgetting that the man before her was not an ordinary man. He was an extremely cruel tyrant.

Vermouth felt that she must have gotten carried away, to the point of forgetting this and coming to this man to tell him to stay away from Ran.

Seeing the fear that had belatedly dawned on Vermouth's face, Hakuto said calmly, "Give me a reason to let you go. If there's no reason, then you'll stay here forever."

"I..."

Cold sweat beaded on Vermouth's forehead from anxiety. Hakuto looked at Vermouth indifferently, with a hint of panic in his eyes, 'Oh no, was I really going to be done for this time?'

But fortunately, someone came to save Vermouth before she was done for.

Natsuki appeared before Hakuto and said to him, "Alright, alright. For my sake, let this one go this once."

Hakuto glanced at Natsuki and then said calmly, "So this is why Vermouth had such courage. So you were backing her up."

Natsuki rolled her eyes at Hakuto and then said, "I say, can you, a big man, not be so petty? Vermouth was just too concerned about Mouri Ran, that's why she made this mistake. And it hasn't caused you any inconvenience. Why do you have to keep harping on it? Be a little more magnanimous."

Hakuto glanced at Natsuki, then said to her, "For your sake, I won't hold it against Vermouth. But don't let it happen again. If it happens again, I can't guarantee what might happen. Also, letting her go is fine, but there must be a small punishment to serve as a warning."

But before Hakuto could act, Natsuki stepped forward and grabbed his hand. "I'll punish Vermouth properly later, alright? Just don't bother with her now. I promise I'll give her the punishment she deserves. Don't you trust me?"

There was a hint of suspicion in Hakuto's eyes as he looked at Natsuki. Why was Natsuki protecting Vermouth so much? What kind of deal did those two have?

But faced with the suspicion in Hakuto's eyes, Natsuki could only shake her head helplessly.

"Vermouth is an excellent spy. She plays a quite significant role for me and has rendered considerable service. Naturally, I can't just stand by and watch something happen to her. You should understand how rare a good subordinate is."

'That was true. Finding a good subordinate wasn't easy.'

"Alright. This time, for your sake, I won't bother with Vermouth."

Hearing that Hakuto was willing to let her go, Vermouth breathed a sigh of relief.

Natsuki quickly took Vermouth away. If Vermouth lingered here any longer, who knew what else she might stir up. It was better to get this one out of here quickly.

Collecting yesterday's check-in reward, Hakuto sighed as he looked at another bunch of worthless trinkets. Luck was a funny thing; sometimes you love it, sometimes you hate it.

The following days were quite easy for Hakuto. He spent his days slacking off, writing in his diary, and collecting rewards.

Unfortunately, the rewards during this period hadn't been very good.

Until one day, Shouko asked Hakuto out on a date.

It was the same amusement park as two years ago.

Only, two years ago, it had been Shouko and Yuji. Two years later, it was Shouko and Hakuto.

"On this day two years ago, you came and saved me. That was also the moment I started to like you."

Hakuto scratched his cheek, a little awkward.

"Back then, I didn't have any other thoughts. I just thought that Yuji was quite inhuman. You're a good girl, but he didn't care about you at all. He really is a bastard."

"Do you want to know why I used to like Yuji?"

Hakuto looked at Shouko and shook his head. "No matter why you liked Yuji before, it doesn't matter now. What matters is that now, you like me. That's enough."

Hearing Hakuto's words, Shouko said to him, "Kiss me."

Hakuto chuckled softly, embraced Shouko, and kissed her lips.
