Chapter 714 - 714: Haruno After Drinking

At seven thirty in the evening, the barbecue party ended, and everyone gradually left one after another. The ones who had not drunk drove the ones who had drunk back home.

Ichin had not drunk either, so he went out to drive Yamada Elf and Hazuki home.

By the time he returned, it was already past eight.

After opening the door and entering the house, Ichin saw Utaha, Yukino, and Haruno sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Utaha and Yukino had also drunk a little tonight, but not much. Each of them had only drunk about two glasses. Haruno, on the other hand, had drunk quite a lot. Just from what Ichin had seen, she had drunk five bottles. As for the ones he had not seen, he had no idea how many there were.

After coming in and putting away the car keys, Ichin said, "Aren't you going to let Haruno rest? She's already dazed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Haruno's sharp gaze shot toward him.

"Who's dazed? I didn't drink too much! Hic~~~"

She called that not drinking too much? Ichin did not believe it.

Shaking his head, he came to sit down beside Utaha, took her hand, and said, "It's getting late. Hurry up and take a bath."

Utaha replied, then stood up and said, "Then Yukino and I will go take a bath. We smell like barbecue after the party. Ichin, I'll leave Haruno-san to you for now."

"Mm, leave her to me."

After Utaha took Yukino upstairs, they did not go straight to the bathroom. Instead, they hid behind the staircase.

Following beside Utaha, the corners of Yukino's mouth twitched as she whispered, "Utaha, do you really believe what my sister said? Even if she's drunk, she won't have that kind of courage."

"Hehe, really?"

Utaha looked downstairs at the two of them with interest and said, "But you should be able to tell that Haruno-san has feelings for Ichin, right? Otherwise, after so many things happened, there's no way Haruno-san could stay calm. Oh, oh, oh! She's moving!"

In the two girls' line of sight, Haruno, who was sitting on the sofa in the first-floor living room, turned to look at Ichin. She snatched the remote control from his hand, pressed it twice, and turned off the TV.

Mm. She had indeed drunk quite a lot. She could not even hold the remote steadily.

Looking at Ichin, who seemed a little stunned, Haruno burped again and said, "Aren't you going to say something? Hm?"

Emmm~~~

After hesitating for a moment, Ichin looked at Haruno and said, "Haruno, about what happened this afternoon, I'm sorry."

"That's it?"

"T-then what else?"

Looking at Haruno, whose eyes had widened, Ichin felt inexplicably afraid. Although he knew Haruno's behavior when drunk was still decent and that she would not do anything too outrageous, he still could not help feeling nervous.

Turning sideways, Haruno lifted her legs and boldly placed them directly on Ichin's lap. Looking at him, she said, "I, hic~~ I haven't had a boyfriend for more than twenty years, you know. I've never even had such intimate contact with any boy before. In the end, you took all the advantage, and all I get is one simple sentence from you?"

To be honest, Ichin really could not figure out what Haruno was trying to do.

Just as he was thinking about how to answer, Ichin felt the sofa shake. Haruno directly pounced onto him.

Straddling him, Haruno looked down at Ichin from above. Her face was flushed red from the alcohol, and a slightly bewitching smile hung on her lips.

"Speaking of which, Ichin, you actually suit my tastes quite well. You have a good body and talent too. In a certain sense, we sisters have pretty similar tastes when it comes to choosing men. After being forced to watch you two show off your love all the time, even I start having thoughts, you know? And with what happened today too, hmph, hmph~~~"

Then Ichin's vision went dark, and he was directly kissed by Haruno.

It was not only Ichin who was stunned. Utaha and Yukino, who were secretly watching from upstairs, were also shocked. Both of them widened their eyes.

"Wow!"

Utaha said in surprise, "I didn't expect Haruno-san to be this bold. Yukino, should we go stop her?"

After a brief moment of shock, Yukino shook her head somewhat helplessly. "Although I don't know exactly what they said, I know my sister's personality. If Ichin saw her body and she didn't have such a strong reaction, it couldn't be because she didn't care. It was because the one who saw it was him, not someone else. We've all been living together for so long. Even if something doesn't happen now, I suppose it'll be hard to avoid in the future. My sister and I are actually very similar in some ways."

"For example, when it comes to choosing men?"

Yukino glared at Utaha, who did not care in the slightest, then slowly stood up. "Let's go. We're taking a bath."

"All right~~~"

Utaha nodded, glanced downstairs again, then stood up and followed Yukino to the bathroom.

Downstairs, Ichin still did not dare to move at all, letting Haruno press herself against him.

His future sister-in-law clearly had no experience in romance, so when it came to kissing, she was a complete beginner. On top of that, she had drunk alcohol, so after kissing him, she no longer knew what she should do.

After they remained stiffly locked together for nearly a minute, Ichin finally found himself unable to hold back anymore and slowly shifted from defense to offense.

That action made Haruno, who had already drunk too much, even more dazed.

About two minutes later, Ichin realized that Haruno was no longer responding to him, so he slowly let go of her.

Good grief. She had fallen asleep directly.

Scratching his head, Ichin looked uneasily toward the staircase. In truth, he also had no idea whether Utaha and Yukino had seen what had just happened.

Based on his understanding of Utaha, there was absolutely no way she would obediently go upstairs to take a bath.

Originally, this would not have been a big deal, but who could have expected Haruno to be this bold? She had actually pounced on him directly.

Looking at Haruno, who had fallen asleep while leaning against him, Ichin sighed. Carefully, he carried Haruno up in a princess carry and brought her upstairs.

Just as Yukino had said when they went out in the morning, Haruno's room really had not been tidied up much. Quite a few clothes had been casually thrown onto the bed.

After putting Haruno down, Ichin helped her tidy up the clothes a little. Only then did he turn off the lights, close the door, return to his own room to get a change of clothes, and enter the bathroom.

No matter what, he still had to confess what needed to be confessed.

The next day, Sunday.

Eight in the morning.

Haruno, who had slept through the night, slowly woke up.

Looking at the ceiling of her room, she stared blankly for quite a while before realizing that it was already morning.

Sitting up and looking at the same set of clothes she had worn yesterday, Haruno held her still aching head and said, "When did I come back to my room again?"

After thinking for several minutes, Haruno vaguely recalled some of what had happened last night.

"Mm, if I remember correctly, after everyone left last night, Utaha, Yukino, and I were watching TV downstairs. Then Ichin came back after sending everyone home. After he came back..."

Then the image of herself pouncing over and forcefully kissing Ichin surfaced in her mind.

"Hiss!!!"

Haruno held her head in disbelief, hoping the memories in her mind were fake. But those memories, including the sensations from that moment, began surfacing one after another, forcing Haruno to believe that it really was something she had done last night.

And at that moment, there was a knock on the door.
