Chapter 298: 288: Meeting Nakano Maruo
"I'm telling the truth..." Hakuto shrugged helplessly. "If someone really does meet the conditions I mentioned, then letting my daughter build a harem with her wouldn't be out of the question."
Damn! Just because there's a Hakuto doesn't mean this world has stopped being normal!
Even now, at this very moment, the only ones who can take a bullet head-on are Hakuto and Otosaka Yuu!
And even then, the current Otosaka Yuu might actually go down from a single Barrett shot.
"Alright, alright, I went to the trouble of getting time off for all of you—you didn't come here just to chit-chat with me, right?"
"Woohoo! Outing time!"
"Come to think of it, this might be the first time we're going out to play with Shiratori-sensei..."
"Hm? Is this a date?"
"Huh? What kind of date happens with five people at once?"
...
On this day, Hakuto really played the part of an escort—a quiet and obedient one at that.
If not for the five sisters, Hakuto wouldn't have realized he could even carry this many shopping bags.
A rough count: Hakuto was carrying at least twenty or thirty shopping bags.
"Wait a sec... weren't we going out to have fun... how did this turn into a shopping trip?"
What? It's not even my money? Then forget it!
No wait—wasn't my personality supposed to have changed already? Why do I still care about money?
Oh well~! Whatever, I'll just make a quick stop at the casino if I run out...
Dear god! Feeling the weight of the bags hanging off him, Hakuto felt like the sky was falling!
Not that he couldn't carry them—the suffocating feeling was just unbearable!
Is this one of the downsides of having a harem?
Walking ahead, Nino glanced back at Hakuto and felt a bit guilty. She walked over to him and lightly poked his shoulder.
"Hey, do you want me to help carry some?"
"That's not necessary..." Hakuto shook his head. "But if possible, Nino, you all wait here for me for a bit. I'm heading back for a moment."
Nino frowned.
Just as she was about to ask if he was going home right now, in the blink of an eye, Hakuto's figure disappeared before her eyes.
"Superpowers... is that how they work?"
"Nino, what are you doing over there?"
"Huh? Where's Shiratori-sensei?" Yotsuba looked around but didn't see any sign of Hakuto.
"He's probably already at our house by now..." Nino shrugged and explained.
Nino now fully understood Hakuto's ability.
Although everything around her looked normal and time flowed as usual, from Hakuto's perspective, time slowed down significantly.
Just during their short exchange, Hakuto might already be halfway back.
"Didn't Shiratori-sensei say his ability has side effects? Is it really okay to use it so casually?"
"I guess... Shiratori probably has his own reasons..."
Nino furrowed her brow. "Something's not right... If we go by the timing, Shiratori should be back by now..."
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this..."
"A bad feeling?"
"I can't explain it..."
Just then, all five sisters received the same message on their phones at the exact same time.
