The bright moonlight shines on the tatami, gradually climbing up to Megumi's feet as she walks forward.
The pair of slender legs exposed to the air reflects an alluring white color, suggesting that Megumi has just taken a bath in the hot springs. She is wearing a pink and white kimono with a cherry blossom pattern embroidered on the hem, giving her a noble and beautiful appearance.
Although Megumi's figure is usually not visible, it is actually well-proportioned and alluring.
The collar of the kimono pushes up against her chest, revealing obvious curves, and the rope belt cinching her waist outlines her slender figure, tied in a large bow behind her back.
In Japanese's culture, this bow signifies a pure girl willing to surrender her body and mind to someone.
Megumi is exceptionally beautiful tonight, captivating Haruto's gaze, who usually wouldn't stare but finds himself unable to look away.
He notices that the edge of her slim kimono shows no traces of ties or fabric, implying that she is likely completely bare underneath.
This realization makes his blood boil with anticipation.
"Haru wasn't surprised at all."
Kato Megumi says, sitting down next to Haruto with a brisk voice.
"Um… I guessed."
Haruto responded.
At this time, Haruto could smell the soft fragrance of the girl.
The fragrance was not too special.
However, it seemed particularly special at this moment.
It was like passing by the girl he had a crush on in class. The girl's hair was lifted up by the breeze, and the scent of shampoo blew in.
It made people's hearts beat.
"I thought Haru would become helpless like the male protagonist in a light novel, with all kinds of romantic accidents and unexpected events."
Kato Megumi couldn't help but chuckle as she spoke.
Haruto spread his hands.
"Maybe."
Speaking of accidents, it's not impossible to happen.
And the probability of it happening is not low.
After all, although Haruto guessed that someone would come to do a night raid, he didn't guess who would come, or who would be the first person to come, he didn't expect it to be Megumi, who is usually gentle and not typically associated with such bold actions.
Although she will work hard and fight for her feelings.
But when put together with the word "night raid" and "Kato Megumi", it is indeed a bit out of place.
Not to mention that it is still early, some of there were still having dinner, and occasionally there would be conversations in the corridor outside.
At this seemingly super dangerous time, Megumi aim directly for the kill.
Haruto thought of the event this noon.
It seemed that the lunch incident, although Kato Megumi didn't say anything, she wasn't completely indifferent.
"I'm probably not the only one who will come looking for Haru tonight. It's also still early, but I have all the keys to Haru's room. There should be enough time to eat and devour Haru clean. Even if someone comes knocking at the door, no one can interrupt us."
In Haruto's shocked eyes, the lovely Kato Megumi made some powerful remarks.
Moreover, she also took out a large bunch of identical keys from the sleeves of her kimono.
This included the spare key of the hot spring hotel.
And the control In charge of the spare keys for firefighters.
With the weak-presence buff on, Megumi snatched all the possible spare keys.
In this way, the wooden door became a reliable barrier.
After all, it's impossible for a girl who comes to find Haruto to violently break into the door.
Even if someone does come, Kato Megumi has the guts to do it and make them listen through the door!
Today is the day she will eat Haruto clean!
Even if God comes, He can't stop it!
After Haruto's eyes widened in shock, he finally reached out, half laughing at himself. Kato Megumi brushed back her slightly damp hair, her movements soft as always.
Seeing the quiet determination on her face made Haruto feel a little ashamed.
Had he really been neglecting her feelings this much?
He'd promised he would never ignore Kato Megumi's words, but he wasn't at school very often.And Megumi sometimes skipped classes to help run the meme department.
In the end, the time they spent together still wasn't enough. Their interactions weren't enough. To the point where even someone as gentle as Kato Megumi had to push herself like this.
She tried to hide her embarrassment.
Thinking about all of that, Haruto leaned in and kissed her.
Kato Megumi closed her eyes, holding her breath out of inexperience. It wasn't until long after they parted that she finally let out a shaky breath, her exhalation sounding almost too intimate in the quiet room.
"I promise that starting from today, every day from now on, I will love Megumi more."
Haruto said seriously.
The corners of Kato Megumi's mouth raised, revealing a beautiful smile.
Nothing else made Kato Megumi happier than Haruto's promise at this time.
Kato Megumi was not actually dissatisfied with Haruto.
The two of them are all busy because of various things, and she knows this very well. As long as Haruto do not break his promise, always remember her, and never ignore her, is enough for her to feel extremely at ease and not be shaken by the passage of time.
Tonight, I had been bold—perhaps a little too bold.
It was because Kato Megumi seemed slightly dissatisfied with her care.
There time together was precious, yet she had not prepared enough.
In terms of attentiveness, she couldn't compare to someone like Shinomiya Kaguya. That lunchbox… it was such a simple thing, yet it could make a person feel truly cherished.
Since noon, Kato Megumi had been scolding herself about being more careful with money.
In short, what Megumi had lost, is needed to win back tonight.
With that resolve, Kato Megumi pressed her hand against Haruto's chest, applying a little force.
The two of them slipped out of the shadows near the window and fell onto the tatami, bathed in the bright moonlight.
After pushing Haruto down, Kato Megumi straightened slightly, then reached behind her back. Her slender fingers grasped a section of the bow at her waist, and without hesitation, she tore it apart with ease.
Haruto's hands explored the smooth skin beneath the kimono, feeling the curves and contours of Megumi's body.
She gasped as his touch sent shivers down her spine, her breath hitching with anticipation. He leaned in, his lips finding hers in a passionate kiss that deepened with each passing second.
Megumi's hands tangled in his hair, pulling him closer as she responded with equal fervor.
The world around them faded away, leaving only the two of them lost in their shared desire. Haruto's hands roamed lower, tracing the line of her waist before moving to the hem of her kimono.
He slowly lifted the fabric, revealing more of her flawless skin, his touch gentle yet insistent.
Megumi arched her back, pressing herself against him, her body aching for more.
The room filled with the soft sounds of their breaths mingling, the rustle of fabric, and the occasional moan of pleasure.
Haruto's lips left hers, trailing kisses down her neck and collarbone, making her squirm beneath him.
He took his time, savoring every inch of her, his touch both teasing and tantalizing.
Megumi's fingers dug into his shoulders, her nails leaving faint marks on his skin as she clung to him, lost in the whirlwind of sensations.
The moonlight cast a ethereal glow on their entwined bodies, highlighting the beauty of their connection.
In that moment, they were one, their hearts and souls intertwined, lost in a dance of passion and devotion.
Under the silvery moonlight, the moment seemed to stretch into eternity—beautiful and unforgettable.
When it was over, the quiet aftermath felt like a soft, shared victory.
Kato Megumi's voice, gentle and low, sounded like a night bird's cry—touching, intimate, and impossible to ignore.
"Win… win," she whispered.
