"So... It's so white... What is this?"

Haruhara looked at the three cod jumping around on the board and Mahaku, who was standing by with a long, narrow slicing knife.

Mashiro looked at Haruhara with baby-like innocence: "Cod."

"Of course I know it's cod, I mean what do you want to do......

I don't know why, looking at the glittering blade in the hand of the natural beautiful girl in front of me, Haruha always feels uncomfortable.

"I'll win?"

As if to cheer himself up, Mahaku clenched his left fist and changed to a questioning tone.

「……」

True white vs three cod.

- After comparing the combat effectiveness, Haruha became even more worried.

"Also, the manga serialization has been very popular."

Looking at Haruhara's worried expression, Mahaku added.

"Cauliflower Village? Congratulations, it's white."

"Thank you."

After politely returning the salute, Mashiro tilted his head and blinked, and continued with a serious face, "Moreover, Mashiro, Katsura, Haruhara-2, Haruhara-3, and Haruhara-4 also like it."

"It's normal for cats to like fish, right? Why do you want to put yourself in the same category as cats?! And except for the first wig ... Wrong... Outside of Gui, why are the latter ones called this super inappropriate species? ! And ah, it's white...... Are you sure you want to embark on this path of killing Shura?"

In the past month or so, the reason why Sakuraso has become a shelter for cats is precisely the little Mahaku in front of him who can't walk when he sees the abandoned kitten.

"Just call the fish 'man'."

Mashiro raised the slicing knife, which was clearly unsuitable for the job, and unconsciously made a terrible declaration.

「…… Isn't that even more terrifying?"

"It's delicious, so it's okay."

Because of the memories of the pan-fried cod made by Haruhara, the corners of Mabai's small mouth unconsciously hung a trace of shiny saliva.

"That sounds horrible, hey! Sure enough, forget it! You're a painter, so it's not good to hurt your hands!"

Although he knew that the girl in front of him was just stupid and cute every day, Haruhara's scalp still felt a little numb.

"It's okay, Haruhara."

Mashiro held the handle of the slicing knife with his two small hands, and although he was still the cute appearance of Sanwu, he exuded a strong confidence for no reason, "Misaki-senpai taught me 'Double Knife Flow'."

- What kind of trouble is the "double knife flow" with a knife in both hands?!

Misaki's alien priest girl's skull is broken, don't believe her!

And......

"That...... Sorry to bother. Is Haruhara-senpai here?"

Just when Haruhara's heart was frantically complaining, a somewhat timid young man's voice came from outside the gate of Sakura Village.

☆

This is a teenager with coffee-colored hair, and the logo on the school uniform should be a freshman in the first year of Hikari High School.

The appearance and temperament are ordinary, and there is nothing special about it.

The only thing that catches the eye should be the four kittens he is holding in his arms.

"Hello Haruhara-senpai! I'm Sota Kanda in Class C of the first year of Hikari High School. These children are Hikaru, Tsubasa, Tsubame, and Sakura. Hikaru Ko, Tsubasa Koba, Sakura Ko, this is Haruhara's senior."

According to Haruhara's experience, these four cute greetings should be abandoned cats, although they are not as good as the four spoiled cats in Sakurazhuang, but they also seem to be taken care of.

For Haruhara, though, that's not the point.

"Kanda-san, that...... What did you just call me?"

Haruhara's eyes sparkled.

"Haruhara...... Seniors?"

Stared at by Haruhara's imposing strange gaze, Kanda Kuta, who was a little frightened, replied tentatively.

"Can you say that again?"

Haruhara was still excited.

「…… Haruhara-senpai?"

Timidly replied again, Kanda began to doubt the correctness of his trip.

"I've been called this many times by cute beautiful girls, but it's the first time I've been called like this by a cute male junior."

Looking at the frightened teenager in front of him, Haruhara, who noticed his lack of majesty, coughed and explained with a satisfied expression.

"Haruhara-sen...... Are you 'the one'?"

Kanda Kuta, who was getting more and more nervous when he heard the explanation, asked with a wary expression.

「…… It's not !!."

It took four or five seconds for Haruhara to come to his senses, and he retorted excitedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I misunderstood just now because Haruhara-senpai was too enthusiastic. Actually, I'm here to entrust the adopted abandoned cat to you, Haruhara."

As if he had made a big mistake, he bowed again and again, and Kanda Kuta explained his intention with a ashamed face.

"That's fine, and Mashiro likes this kind of little guy a lot. But why did you find me? I don't know you."

Haruhara took the four little furball-like guys in Kanda Sota's arms, and asked curiously as the four docile cats competed for cuteness.

"But Haruhara-senpai is quite famous! When I was worried about these little guys a few days ago, I didn't realize that Chunyuan was such a good person as everyone respected, and I didn't remember it until noon today, I really am a fool! I'm relieved that these little guys will take care of Haruhara-senpai, so ......."

Kanda scratched the coffee-colored hair on his head a little shyly, and then bowed and thanked him with a straight face, "Thank you very much, Haruhara-senpai!"

「…… Well, leave these little ones to me."

"That's great! Haruhara-senpai is really a good person worthy of respect!"

Kanda Sota's look of reverence really made Haruhara, who had always been infamous, a little confused.

Although it is a good thing to be respected and trusted, Haruhara always felt that something was wrong.

- When did you become so famous?

Just when Haruhara's desire to ask further questions was made, Kanda Kuta's expression on the other side suddenly turned pale, his eyes trembled violently, and dense cold sweat seeped out of his face.

Haruhara's gaze looked back along Kanda Kuta's line of sight, but what caught his eye was the cute Mashiro.

It's just that the real white looks a little curious.

It was still the true white of the three dumb and cute expressions, and a few drops of blood were splashed on the fair little face of the frost and snow.

Not only on the face, but also on the cute bear apron, there are a few blood spray marks made up of a large number of tiny blood droplets that crisscross around the bear.

The slicing knife he was holding in his right hand was even more bloody, and drops of blood that had not been cleaned up dripped down the blade.

"Killed."

Mashiro obviously didn't realize how much impact his current image had, and raised his head slightly and looked at Haruhara.

"What...... Killed ......."

Haruhara, whose scalp was a little numb, was subjected to a strong visual impact and did not react for a while.

"'People'."

Maharo nodded.

It turned out to be those fish......

Haruhara, who has adapted to the band of true white thinking, contacted the previous article, and was suddenly relieved.

「(ˉ﹃ˉ)……」

Mahaku grabbed the corner of Haruhara's clothes with his left hand, drooling and revealing a cute expression that Haruhara's couldn't refuse.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it for you."

Haruhara's resistance to such requests has always been zero, "Kill them all?"

"All."

Although Mahaku still has no obvious expression, in the eyes of Haruhara, who is already familiar with Mahaku's emotional changes, this child is completely full of confidence and triumphant.

…… It looks like a pretty tough battle.

Haruhara, who was about to praise two true white words, suddenly remembered that there was a junior next to him, and if he and the real white of this kind of 'true white flow dialogue' that only a true white owner like himself could understand, if he didn't explain it well, this guy might have some strange misunderstanding.

However, Haruhara, who turned back, found that the original location of Kanda Sota's junior brother had long been empty.

「……」

Looking at the backs of Kanda's sora disciples fleeing in the distance, Haruhara's could already foresee Sakuraso becoming part of Mitsusaka's strange tales like the 'Seven Wonders'.

In the end, because Haruhahara forgot the original names of the four kittens, the four little guys got the names of Haruhara-5, Haruhara-6, Haruhara-7, and Haruhara-8 respectively.

As a result, the 'Haruhara Family' of Sakuraso grew again.

(Recently, because of something, the update is unstable, and it should be better after the 15th.) ）
