Chapter 720: Take a deep breath  

While it was good to know that Shiro-san enjoyed the cultural festival, it wasn't good to know that Haruno was angry.

Still, if Shishio knew why Shiro-san enjoyed the cultural festival, he would look at the distant sky, thinking that this guy couldn't be saved anymore, yet it was okay since Shiro-san was happy.

That's the most important thing.

However, Haruno was far from happy.

She didn't walk by his side like before. Instead, she walked in front of him as if she wanted to show him how bad her current emotion was.

Yet how could she feel happy, especially when she knew what kind of bastard this guy was?

Naturally, being a playboy was something common, and everyone in high society, especially when they did it.

Some women also did it.

However, it happened to someone else and didn't happen to her, so she didn't care much.

Yet, when it happened to her. No, her family. It felt so horrible.

She was like a goddess of calamity now. She wanted to bring forth volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, floods, and every disaster in this world to destroy everything.

She might have always kept her smile, but if someone thought she was kind, they would be wrong. Instead, she was such a terrifying woman since she could still maintain a sweet smile even though what she wanted to do was horrible and cruel.

However, he couldn't see that since even if she was a terrifying woman, all he could see was an angry cat who showed her fangs and claws, trying to bite him with her nonexistent fangs.

"Hey, stop."

Hearing his voice, she stopped and was about to turn to show her horrible face, but her shoulders were held by him, so she was unable to turn.

"What are you doing?"

It could be heard that her voice was far from gentle and amiable.

"Take a deep breath."

She glanced at him for a moment and only blew air with her lips in annoyance.

However, he only looked at her helplessly and repeated his words, "Take a deep breath."

She glanced at him again and asked in a loud voice, "What are y—"

"Close your eyes."

She glanced at him blankly but still did what she was told. Then, suddenly, she could feel his hand wrapped around her body, which stunned her since it seemed that she was being hugged by him.

'However, it should be okay, right?'

She didn't stop him at all. Instead, she thought about whether their deed would be discovered by someone since she didn't want someone to know what they were about to do. However, after she thought for a moment, she quickly confirmed that they should be alright since she knew he wasn't so stupid to do something like this in a place where people could see them.

Lastly, while she walked before, she didn't lose her mind, and she drew him to the deserted place where no one was around, yet her left hand was held and pulled before it was put on her right shoulder.

"When you can't control your calm, cross your arms like this."

He also pulled her right hand and put it on the top of her left shoulder.

Her hands were crossed, and she could feel his hands on the top of her hands, seemingly gentle yet reliable.

"Then, you take turns tapping each of your shoulders like this."

He tapped the top of her hands gently, giving her instructions.

She was in silence and felt nice, but there was something a bit unsettling and unsatisfying.

"What is this?"

"The butterfly hug method. It helps you to calm down."

"...why do I need to calm down?"

"Do you think I can't see that you're angry?"

"Oh? Then, you guess, why am I angry?"

She didn't give him a chance to answer and turned her body abruptly, staring into his eyes with a sweet smile on her lips, yet nothing could be seen from her eyes. "Also, why did you use a self-healing method to heal a trauma patient on me?"

"It seems that I have made you angry again?"

She sighed and said, "But trauma should be faced directly like this instead of soothing it from behind." She took a step even closer as if trying to boa tried to constrict her prey. She held his hands and also held his neck, pulling him closer.

He didn't say anything and only stared into her eyes, yet he had to say it was hard to look into her eyes all the time since a big natural ravine was formed on her chest, which was something impossible to be formed by Yukinoshita or even her mother, yet she owned it like nothing and even used them as a weapon.

Once again, he had to say Haruno was a formidable opponent.

"Shishio-kun, do you know I am not a good person."

'I can see it.' However, he didn't voice his opinion and just followed what she wanted to do since he was curious about what she was going to say.

"If I like someone, I want him for myself. No one else. Only for me. If I find him cheating or even talking with another girl, I might kill the girl who talks with him and might also kill him by mistake."

"...what if you can't get that man?"

"What if I can't get him?" She chuckled, then asked with a smile, "What do you think I will do?"

"Don't do that. I don't want my older sister-in-law to become a murderer," he said as he patted her head.

"......"

One sentence was enough to shut her lips.

Her head, which was clouded with anger before, quickly cleared up. She knew that this guy was Yukinoshita's husband-to-be, and also could she kill Yukinoshita?

"......"

Still, leaving their feelings aside, it was hard for them to be together unless she was alright not to marry.

She was the heir of the Yukinoshita family, and naturally, she would hold a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders. It was also impossible for her to be married off like Yukinoshita. Instead, when she married, it was her husband who changed his family name to Yukinoshita.

For her to change her name to something else was definitely impossible.

Even her children would also be named Yukinoshita.

To be honest, Shishio didn't care about this type of naming matter. After all, a name was a name. It didn't change that they were a family, even if their names were different. However, it seemed different in this country, especially for those from prestigious families.

If he had to say, a name was a like a brand.

If he gave an example, one would think of Gucci or Louis Vuitton; they would think of them as luxury goods, right? They would also trust it and didn't complain even if the prince was so high. However, if it was other brands, once you saw something so expensive, you would complain it was expensive.

It was the same name in this country since a name could also make people perceive you.

Haruno also couldn't escape from this responsibility, and she also didn't want to escape it since this was something that she had worked for, and she also didn't wish for Yukinohita to be burdened by this responsibility.

It wouldn't be wrong to say she was an iron lady.

In the future, he wouldn't be surprised if she suddenly became the governor of Chiba.

Still, he also understood why she was chosen as an heir instead of Yukinoshita.

One thing was the oldest child since usually, the oldest child bore the responsibility of continuing the family business.

The second thing, which was the most important thing, was ruthlessness.

It was something that Yukinoshita lacked since she was a gentle and kind girl.

If Yukinoshita was the matriarch of the Yukinoshita family, if someone made a mistake, she might forgive this person before she did everything on her own, so everything would be right.

However, Haruno was different. She would cut this person down and show her prestige, so the other wouldn't mess around.

Still, if Haruno was a male, it would be great. Unfortunately, she was a female, which made everything become complicated, yet even if she became a guy, he could imagine how she would have a hard time making a woman. No, she wouldn't have trouble becoming the fuck many women he wanted, but she would have difficulty marrying since everything except for her family was a matter of interest to her.

However, she was a female, so the matter of emotions would mess her up.

"By the way, do you want to do a better way to calm down?"

"...how?" Haruno asked.

"Like this."

He hugged her gently yet firmly in his hands.

"......."

Haruno was in a daze before she slowly wrapped her hands around him and inhaled deep of his scent.

They were hugging each other without saying anything, only feeling each other warmth.

"Okay, it's done."

When 30 seconds passed, he let her go, but she didn't let him go.

"Say."

"Hmm?"

"If you—"

However, suddenly someone crashed into them.

Haruno was stunned, but Shishio quickly stabilized himself while also feeling angry since they were just in the right moment, but who would have thought that someone would interrupt them?

However, he was stunned when he saw the person who crashed into them. At first, he thought it was a guy since this person was wearing a bullet uniform, but the person who crashed into them surprised him.

"Huh, Senpai?"

Ritsu Kawai.

At first, he thought it was a boy who had interrupted them, considering the butler's uniform and the short hair. However, it was Ritsu. He was speechless, but he could see that her state was quite wrong, especially when she seemed panicked and in tears.

"Shi-Shishio-kun!"

Ritsu was surprised but also felt relief when she saw him. However, a loud voice behind her made her body tense.

"Hey, wait there, bastard!"

"Don't you dare to run!"

The two guys ran in their direction furiously.

Shishio frowned and let go of Haruno before he approached the two guys.
