The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

The next day, after washing up, Hakuto went out to pick up Kato.

At the same time, he cursed inwardly about yesterday's reward.

What a lousy reward.

Yesterday's reward was actually a condom. Did Hakuto need that?

Hakuto expressed that he had absolutely no use for it.

He never used them.

As for the person mentioned most times yesterday, Kaguya, was also cursing. What she received yesterday was actually one hundred grams of gold.

Did she need one hundred grams of gold?

Hakuto originally wanted to go to Megumi's house to pick her up, but Megumi asked him to wait at a nearby intersection instead.

Although he didn't know why Megumi was unwilling, Hakuto didn't insist.

Hakuto didn't wait long after arriving before Megumi came out.

"Megumi, you look very pretty."

Looking at Megumi, Hakuto complimented her. Megumi was very good at dressing and matching. Today's outfit also made Hakuto's eyes light up.

"Thank you for the compliment. But before receiving Haku's invitation, I thought you had forgotten about me. After all, you have so many other girls around you."

A sheepish smile immediately appeared on Hakuto's face. How was he supposed to answer that? Either way, it was a dead end.

"Sorry, I just didn't know what to say to you, Megumi. Because of what happened before..."

Hakuto had not only expressed his desire for a harem to Megumi but had also used her to provoke Tomoya. This made Hakuto not know how to face Megumi for a while, so he subconsciously avoided her.

Hakuto hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took Megumi's hand.

Megumi didn't pull away. She just looked at Hakuto. "Has you made some kind of decision, Haku?"

"Yeah, I actually made the decision long ago. The girls I like, not one less. Whether you're willing or not, I won't let you leave."

"So, Megumi, stay by my side forever."

Megumi sighed softly. Although she had expected something like this, it still troubled her a bit.

"Don't you think you're being too harsh, Haku?"

"Yeah, very harsh. A person as harsh as Yagami Hakuto deserves to die."

Hearing Hakuto's words, Megumi was speechless.

"I can't fight back, so I'll just have to let you have your way, Haku."

'Hmm?'

Hakuto looked at Megumi. Megumi was also looking at him. Then Hakuto seemed to realize something.

"That's right. You can't fight back."

He tightened his grip on Megumi's hand slightly.

"Then let's go. Today, Sonoka invited us to taste her cooking. Can't pass up a free meal, especially from an excellent chef."

Hakuto and Megumi arrived at Sonoka's restaurant. Sonoka, who had already prepared everything, started cooking when Hakuto arrived. About half an hour later, Hakuto saw the dish Sonoka brought out.

"A salad?"

Although it was more than just a salad, Hakuto recognized at a glance that the salad was the main attraction of Sonoka's dish this time.

"Yes."

A smile radiated on Sonoka's face. Hakuto looked at Sonoka, paused for a moment, and then said, "Then I'll help myself."

Hakuto tasted Sonoka's dish. His expression remained impassive, but inwardly, he was shocked.

'The embryonic form of Heart of Cooking.'

A flicker of gloom appeared deep in Hakuto's eyes.

[Heart of Cooking again. Damn Heart of Cooking. Following Erina, Sonoka has now also touched the embryonic form of Heart of Cooking. Damn it. I shouldn't have told Sonoka about Heart of Cooking back then. My fears have finally come true.]

[Heart of Cooking is a double-edged sword. Besides "one thought of heaven, one thought of hell", even if you successfully hatch Heart of Cooking, each use reduces the user's lifespan. They're not like me, where all the cost is borne by my Spirits. Oh, right, there is this way. Find a Spirit for them, let the Spirit pay the cost.]

[But it's not easy to find. I'll deal with this later. For now, I'll criticize Sonoka's dish as worthless, make her feel frustrated, and delay the awakening of her Heart of Cooking.]

[Sorry, I don't mean to, but I really can't let you awaken Heart of Cooking.]

After silently apologizing, Hakuto looked at Sonoka and then began to tear into her.

Hakuto directly ripped Sonoka's dish apart, finding a host of flaws in every aspect, leaving Sonoka unable to refute.

[That's not right. I've said such harsh things, why isn't Sonoka reacting at all? Could the shock be too great? Has she gone stupid?]

Looking at Sonoka's completely accepting expression, Hakuto was completely dumbfounded.

"Um, Sonoka, are you okay? What I said just now was a bit harsh, but this..."

Sonoka looked at Hakuto and said approvingly, "No, Haku, what you said makes a lot of sense. I didn't realize my cooking had so many flaws. Thank you for pointing them all out."

Hakuto was dumbfounded.

[You should be angry. You should be angry. Don't thank me. How can you act like this and not let me stop you from awakening Heart of Cooking?]

Hakuto was a bit frustrated.

Beside him, Megumi suddenly laughed.

"Sorry, I thought of something happy."

Seeing Hakuto look over, Megumi withdrew her smile and said to Hakuto.

"Pfft."

Sonoka couldn't help but laugh either.

Facing Hakuto's gaze, Sonoka also said, "I thought of something happy too."

Hakuto asked suspiciously, "Did you two think of the same happy thing?"

"No, no."

The two shook their heads.

Hakuto was silent. Then he looked at Sonoka. "I'm not joking with you."

"Ah, yeah, yeah."

Sonoka suppressed her smile as she looked at Hakuto.

"I've been tolerant of you for a long time. Your cooking is terrible, and you still dare to laugh."

Hakuto glared at Sonoka.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Hakuto: "..."

Megumi: "Pfft hahaha, sorry, my dog had puppies."

Sonoka: "Pfft hahaha, my dog had puppies too."
