"won't you ever considered that I might be in danger too?"
Kojou Yuna's last words were almost a shout.
Her voice trembled slightly, her eyes were red-rimmed, but she stubbornly refused to let tears fall.
Fujiwara Shunsui's heart tightened.
He suddenly realized that his seemingly casual probing just now had, by a fluke, torn open the tightly shut door to her heart.
After saying that, she leaned lightly into Harumizu's ear, her warm breath caressing his earlobe, carrying a hint of mischievous laughter:
"How was it? Was my acting good?"
Looking at Kojou Yuna, who had seemed on the verge of tears, now playfully acting cute towards him.
He could only sigh from the bottom of his heart, realizing that "he" had probably really neglected Yuna-chan's feelings before.
And this woman's self-regulation ability was so strong it made his heart ache.

[side quest: Kojou Yuna's Worries]
[Host used clever methods to guide Kojou Yuna, helping her temporarily vent her frustrations, increasing Host's favorability by +5 (this favorability increase is not included in quest rewards)]
[Kojou Yuna Favorability: 66/100]
"Thanks again to my ex-girlfriend for her generosity!"
It had to be said, aside from the favorability points from quests, only ex-girlfriend Kojou Yuna's favorability increased like a rollercoaster, chugging upwards.
"If it were an ex-girlfriend, with Kiko's precedent, the favorability would at least start at 90."
"Looks like I still need to work hard!"
Harumizu only wanted to work hard now!
As for what direction he wanted to work hard in, that remained unknown.
Kojou Yuna seemed to sense Shunsui-kun's confusion.
She pressed her entire body against Harumizu's back.
She blew a warm breath into Harumizu's ear and whispered softly:
"Did Harumizu-elder brother get scared by me? Let's see if you dare to bully me again!"
Harumizu felt an itch behind his ear, as if an electric current had streaked from his earlobe straight down his spine.
Immediately after, a wicked fire slowly began to brew, and Harumizu's Adam's apple bobbed.
Only one thought remained in his mind:
"Is it against the rules to do something with an ex-girlfriend...?"
The two fell silent again in the living room.
Nissho Taro, even though he had decided internally not to interfere when the two argued, still wanted to advise them.
Just as Taro was about to open the room door, Harumizu's voice once again interrupted his thoughts.
If it was only Yuna unilaterally venting, it would be possible to persuade them;
But if Harumizu-grown ups was already angry, his joining the "battlefield" would make him a target.
The hand he had placed on the doorknob was put down again by Taro.
Harumizu responded loudly and emphatically:
"Do you think I don't want to? Do you think I don't care about you? You are the person I care about most!"
Even though Kojou Yuna knew Harumizu was acting at this moment, her heart still trembled slightly after hearing him say that!
Then, Harumizu's tone shifted, and he said in a low, somewhat sad voice:
"You always push me a thousand miles away. How can I make you happy?"
Harumizu slowly raised his voice, and at the same time, he turned his head, fixing his gaze on Yuna's eyes, quietly staring at her.
"I also know that beneath your cold exterior lies a fragile heart. I work hard to become stronger because I want to protect you! So no one can bully you!"
A hint of panic flashed in Kojou Yuna's eyes.
At this moment, she couldn't tell if Fujiwara Shunsui's words were genuine or just him playing along with her "act"!
Finally, Harumizu deliberately raised his voice, as if speaking to Taro in the room:
"I can't stand you being so quiet about everything! So affected! I'll leave, can't I just leave?!"
Hearing Fujiwara Shunsui say that, Nissho Taro in the room immediately opened the door!
He thought: "You can't leave, Harumizu-grown ups, if you leave, how will I move in with you today!"
But what Taro didn't expect was that the moment he opened the door, he saw Kojou Yuna lazily draped over Harumizu.
The two were smiling at him, not looking like they had been arguing at all!
This made Taro realize he had been set up!
Yuna didn't seem to mind Taro seeing her in this state; instead, she began to tease Taro:
"We knew you were eavesdropping again, Taro! Tell us, when will you get rid of this habit of eavesdropping!"
Nissho Taro shook his head again, trying to clear his mind, as if the scene before him shouldn't be happening.
It was as if Yuna and Harumizu-grown ups shouldn't be so intimate.
He had long forgotten how long it had been since he had seen the two of them so relaxed as they were today.
To make Taro even more embarrassed, Harumizu continued to agree with Kojou Yuna:
"Taro, aren't you packing? Why haven't you finished after so long! Do you want to hear us chat some more?"
Taro's face turned red as he frantically waved his hands:
"No, no!"
Then he pulled a suitcase out of the room.
"Oh, I just didn't dare to disturb your argument!"
"I've already packed, I'm leaving now!"
Fujiwara Shunsui and Kojou Yuna exchanged glances and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Their laughter contained tacit understanding, relief, and a long-lost, relaxed tenderness... The adjacent room had many of Takahashi Kazuma's belongings.
Nissho Taro, "forced to move," spent the entire afternoon tidying up the items left behind by the other party.
After Taro moved into his new home, he had asked Yuna in advance if he should pack the items and leave them for the other party.
But Yuna told him that she had already emphasized to Takahashi Kazuma that he should disappear from Miya Harukiko's sight and never appear again!
So, Takahashi would not be coming back for the miscellaneous items in his house.
And the compensation for these items, she had already given to Takahashi Kazuma long ago... Back in Harumizu's house, it was the familiar quartet again.
Miya Harukiko was busy in the kitchen, and the dining table was once again laden with food.
Kojou Yuna, on the other hand, was helping Miya Harukiko in the kitchen, bustling about.
The two were chatting and laughing.
Harumizu was in the living room, stroking Taro's bald head, and asked:
"Why were you eavesdropping on us through the door earlier?"
"What's there to be afraid of just opening the door! Given our relationship!"
Nissho Taro could only chuckle apologetically, then fawningly replied to Harumizu:
"Harumizu-grown ups, I was just afraid you two would cause a scene in my house, but I really didn't expect, after all these years, I've never seen you two so intimate as you are today!"
Harumizu lowered his hand, thinking to himself: The feel of this bald head is really good.
Then he responded to Taro:
"Intimate?"
Taro's tone was sincere and heartfelt:
"Intimate! Very intimate!"
Just then, Harumizu seemed to hear Kiko in the kitchen intermittently saying something to Yuna:
"How about... the three of us live together?"
