Chapter 724 - 724: Going School Together

Although the single bed holding three people seemed very crowded.

Hikari slept very soundly that night at the Tsubakihara house.

Perhaps it was because sleeping in the same bed with Miss Mira and Tsubakihara Yuna brought back the feeling from his childhood.

It might also have been because Miss Mira helped him massage well before sleep and let him release his stress.

She even didn't have time to wash her hands or brush her teeth after finishing, and directly let Hikari hold her as they slept.

Anyway, no matter what, this was the soundest sleep Hikari had gotten in the past week.

———

Opening his eyes, morning light was already coming through the gaps in the curtain, casting mottled pale gold on the covers.

Hikari turned his head, and the spot beside him where Miss Mira had been was already empty, with only a bit of lingering warmth left, she must have gotten up early to busy herself.

But Tsubakihara Yuna beside him was still curled up holding the covers, her little face buried in the pillow, sleeping soundly.

The girl's long eyelashes trembled lightly with her breathing, like a well-behaved little cat.

Looking at her cute sleeping face, completely defenseless, Hikari couldn't help reaching out, his fingertip gently pinching a bit of the tender flesh of her cheek. The touch was smooth and springy, like pinching a freshly made marshmallow.

"Yuna-nee, time to get up."

"...Mmm?"

Tsubakihara Yuna, whose sleep had been disturbed, let out a small whimper, and rubbed her eyes drowsily.

Her slender long eyelashes fluttered again and again, her beautiful eyes still covered with a layer of undispersed mist, and her voice was soft like just-melted milk candy, "Eh? Good morning, Hikari-kun... where's Mom?"

"Miss Mira probably went downstairs first to prepare breakfast."

Hikari smiled and withdrew his hand, and was the first to get up and fold the covers.

By the time he finished washing up and came out, Tsubakihara Yuna had also finished getting ready, and the two walked downstairs side by side.

Just as they reached the stairway, a rich aroma drifted over.

The burnt fragrance of fried eggs, the savory mellow smell of miso soup, and the aroma of toasted crisp bread. It hooked one's appetite wide open.

Three figures were already seated by the dining table: Tsubakihara Nina, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, was nibbling on toast in small bites while looking down and flipping through a paperback in her hand, a small bookmark still pinched between her fingers.

The Kaede and Suzu sisters sat upright, with bowls of miso soup already filled in front of them.

"Good morning, Yuna-nee, Hikari-kun," Nina heard the footsteps and looked up to greet them, not even caring that her glasses had slid to the tip of her nose.

After saying that she quickly lowered her head again, her gaze returning to the page, her fingertip lightly tracing the text, a typical top-student look.

"Hikari-kun... good morning."

"Good morning."

Kaede and Suzu also greeted them, except that Hoshizuki Kaede's normally cheerful voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz this morning.

When Hikari looked over, her water-blue pupils instantly dodged like a startled fawn, not daring to meet his gaze.

The girl's cheeks were still suffused with a faint blush, and even the fingertip holding the soup spoon trembled slightly.

Seeing that there happened to be an empty seat beside Hoshizuki Kaede, Hikari immediately sat down in the chair next to her.

Seeing that the male lead from last night's fantasy movie was now sitting right beside her, Hoshizuki Kaede couldn't help but tense up, and even lightened her breathing a little.

Seeing this scene, Tsubakihara Yuna paused her steps, then quickly walked over, naturally sat down on Hikari's other side, and even lightly leaned toward him.

Her skirt hem inadvertently brushed against his calf, carrying a bit of imperceptible closeness.

At this time, Miss Mira came out of the kitchen carrying the last plate of fried eggs, a pink apron tied around her, her hair casually pinned behind her head, adding a bit more domestic gentleness, "Hikari-chan and Yuna are awake? Hurry and eat while it's hot."

She placed the fried eggs on the table, and sat down in the main seat at the dining table.

The dining table soon became lively, Nina occasionally looked up to discuss a textbook question with Suzu.

And when she saw Hikari putting a fried egg into her bowl, Kaede was so nervous she almost choked even while drinking soup.

Suzu silently handed her a tissue, while Miss Mira from time to time put food into Hikari's bowl, telling him to eat more.

Amid laughter and chatter, a table full of sumptuous breakfast quickly reached the bottom.

After breakfast, the few of them each packed their schoolbags and gathered at the door.

Hikari looked at the four beautiful girls before him, each with a different style.

Tsubakihara Nina, wearing a uniform and glasses.

Kaede, her hair slightly messy, her cheeks still carrying a bit of blush.

Suzu, standing upright with a cool and aloof air.

And Yuna, intimately close to him, with a sweet smile.

He smiled and spoke, "Let's go, to school together."

———

The morning sunlight spilled over the mouth of the alley, golden light passing through the branches and leaves of the cherry trees, casting fine shadows on the ground

Five figures walked forward side by side, the soft sound of skirt hems fluttering in the wind mixed with the chattering laughter of the beautiful girls, drawing frequent glances from many passersby, and even the air carried a youthful and sweet warm feeling.

On the way to school, Hikari introduced the shortcut from home to school to the Kaede and Suzu sisters.

Tsubakihara Yuna and Nina beside him also helped add some school precautions.

Although it was one boy and four girls walking side by side, the atmosphere was not stiff at all, but rather harmonious and joyful.

But this beautiful atmosphere didn't last long before it was broken by a sudden whistle.

"Shh!"

A frivolous and piercing whistle came from not far behind the five of them.

Tsubakihara Yuna, Tsubakihara Nina, and Kaede and Suzu, four beautiful girls, all frowned at the same time, and Hikari also raised an eyebrow slightly and turned to look.

He saw standing behind them a young boy wearing the same uniform as Osaka High, with a pair of black-framed glasses and a mushroom cut, looking somewhat sleazy.

At first, when the glasses mushroom-head saw the Tsubakihara sisters and beauties like Kaede and Suzu, he had widened his eyes in amazement.

But when he clearly saw Hikari's appearance, the frivolous smile on his face instantly froze, his pupils also rapidly constricted, as if he had seen a ghost, and his whole person froze in place.

"Hik-Hikari-kun?"

The glasses mushroom-head boy's voice was trembling, and his earlier arrogant attitude was wiped out in an instant.

He subconsciously stood at attention, changed from his previous slovenly look, and even shrank back a little, his legs trembling, his whole body shaking.

He greeted with a face full of apologetic smiles, "You-You're early... good morning!"

Hikari glanced at him, and finally remembered that this was a male classmate in the same class, named Takashi.

Usually silent and taciturn in class, always with no sense of presence.

Today, for some unknown reason, he had actually boldly whistled.

Probably because just now he hadn't recognized him.

After all, in class Hikari had long been famous.
