Yukino stared at her sister, her expression becoming more and more confused.

"Big Sis, what exactly happened?"

Seeing that Haruno still wasn't speaking, Utaha smiled and ran over to Yukino's side, leaning close to whisper the entire sequence of events into her ear.

After hearing everything, Yukino widened her eyes and looked at Haruno, who was standing there awkwardly darting her gaze around.

"Big Sis, I never expected you to have this kind of hobby!"

"You can't blame me for that! Who told them to suddenly come in?!" Haruno loudly retorted. "And Yukino, I'm the victim here!"

Yukino blinked and calmly replied:

"But if you had gotten up on time, none of this would've happened, right? You're already an adult, yet you still need Ichin to wake you up. It's not like Utaha was working late last night. You were obviously just playing on your phone."

That series of verbal attacks left Haruno completely unable to refute anything. Her mouth opened and closed several times before she finally flopped onto the sofa gloomily, hugging a cushion while kicking her legs around.

"I don't care, I don't care! I'm the victim here!"

Seeing Haruno like this, Utaha shrugged at Yukino.

"Alright already, don't mind her. She'll be fine in a bit. Yukino, you finished your yoga already, right? Then I should hurry and exercise too. Breakfast is almost ready."

Then Yukino sat back down on the mat and resumed today's yoga routine.

After seeing Utaha's actions, Haruno hesitated for a moment before eventually sitting down as well and starting to exercise too.

Fifteen minutes later, Ichin brought out the finished breakfast.

"Alright, breakfast is ready. We really ended up eating late today."

The moment he set down the pan-fried dumplings, Utaha and the others immediately sat down at the table, Haruno included.

Faced with delicious food, Haruno temporarily forgot the embarrassment from this morning. She picked up her glass, took a sip of milk, then happily started eating breakfast.

At the dining table, Utaha also stopped stirring up trouble and simply enjoyed herself, happily taking a bite of youtiao while narrowing her eyes in satisfaction.

After breakfast, since it was Saturday and nobody had anything to do today, everyone stayed on the first floor watching TV and playing with the cats.

Seeing Ichin walk out of the kitchen, Yukino put down the cat teaser wand, walked over, grabbed his hand, and pulled him toward the gym room.

Ichin more or less guessed what Yukino wanted to say, so he simply let her drag him there.

After entering, Ichin watched Yukino close the door before saying:

"Is this about what happened this morning?"

Turning around, Yukino put her hands on her hips and puffed up her cheeks.

"What do you think?"

Ichin smiled bitterly.

"I really didn't know something like that would happen. The key point is that after I woke Haruno-nee up, she probably forgot herself and sat up immediately. I didn't even have time to react."

Although Yukino knew he was right, she still looked at him seriously.

"I have a feeling that if this keeps going, something will eventually happen. There was already that time before when you two slept on the same bed, and now this happened again. If this happens a couple more times, I feel like Big Sis won't even need to find a boyfriend anymore. Isn't there already a ready-made one right here?"

"Uh... cough, it's not that serious, right?"

"What do you think?"

Yukino shot the question right back at him before walking over and hugging him, leaning into his chest.

"Anyway, I'm just saying it. I'm not really qualified to say too much myself. It just feels strange because she's my sister. I don't know what the future will be like, but for now, I'm going to keep an eye on you. Don't you dare start having any weird thoughts. Also, tomorrow when you go help Hajime, it'll just be you and Big Sis going together, so you better behave yourself there too."

Hearing Yukino's words, Ichin helplessly hugged her back.

"Alright, I understand. I'll listen to you."

The two stayed there affectionately for a while before finally heading back out. Then Yukino pulled both Haruno and Utaha upstairs with her, apparently to talk about something.

Looking at the cat teaser wands left on the sofa, as well as the cats staring at him after playtime had suddenly stopped, Ichin scratched his head with a bitter smile and sat down.

"Alright, alright. I'll play with you guys for a while."

By Saturday afternoon and evening, Haruno had completely calmed down. She no longer showed any emotional reaction regarding the embarrassing morning incident and had returned to her usual cheerful, joking self.

Then time arrived at Sunday.

After having lunch at home, it was finally time to head out at one in the afternoon to meet Hajime. The arranged meeting time on her side was two o'clock.

Everyone would first meet up together. Then Haruno would accompany Hajime to meet the guy, while Ichin would sit somewhere inside the café and secretly observe everything.

Yeah... for some reason, it felt like this kind of thing would happen quite often in the future. It was pretty strange.

After changing clothes, the whole group prepared to head out.

Ichin and Haruno would take one car, while Utaha and Yukino would take another.

Before getting into the car, Utaha looked at Ichin and said:

"Ichin, then Yukino and I are going shopping first. Once you're done over there, remember to call us and meet up afterward!"

"OK. It won't take long."

This time was different from Hazuki's blind date before.

Back then, Hazuki's match had been excellent in every aspect, and since Hazuki herself had wanted to try dating, she had genuinely intended to spend more time talking with him.

But this time, although Hajime's blind date candidate sounded pretty good according to the older generation, he simply wasn't her type at all. On top of that, she herself had no intention of getting into a relationship so soon. She was purely going there to deal with it politely before rejecting him.

Ichin estimated it wouldn't even take half an hour.

Ten or twenty minutes would probably be enough.

After Yukino drove off together with Utaha, Ichin also opened the car door and got in. Haruno sat in the passenger seat, and the two first headed off to pick up Hajime.

Since Hajime was currently living together with her family, Ichin drove directly downstairs to her apartment building. After making a call, Hajime came down within a few minutes.

A white T-shirt paired with denim short shorts. This was Hajime's most standard summer outfit, with nothing flashy about it at all.

After sitting in the back seat, Hajime said gloomily:

"I seriously don't know what my mom was thinking. She even wanted me to wear a skirt. It's not like I'm actually going there for a blind date, so why dress up that much? Honestly, I can't keep living at home anymore. I really need to move out. Haruno, when's that villa district finally going to be finished?"

"Second half of next year. Just wait one more year for now. You can save up some money first or something," Haruno replied with a smile as she turned around. "Besides, I think you don't need a skirt at all. This outfit is obviously more eye-catching to guys. Those long legs of yours... if I weren't sitting in the passenger seat, even I'd want to touch them."

"Uh... is that so?" Hajime looked down at her outfit. "I should've worn long pants then. How about we stop by a clothing store first so I can change?"
