Short Regular Chapter.

Yukinoshita Haruno brings me in a restaurant that is more private compared to Saize that everybody wants.

I let her order for me as she's the one who's more familiar in this place and I believe that she won't play a prank if food is concerned.

While we were waiting for our orders.

"Hikigaya-kun…" She starts the conversation while resting her elbow on the table. "…what do you think of the kiss earlier?"

"It caught me unprepared," I answer.

She smiles. "Really?"

"Yeah, I thought you will just use your seduction like usual, but you've betrayed my expectation." I nonchalantly said.

She nods and removes her smile. "Then, would that make me interesting?"

"A little. Don't worry you can't do that anymore unless it has my permission."

She frowns and glare at me while her mouth curves upward. "I shouldn't hesitate earlier."

"That sounds like a threat."

"You can treat it as one or not…" She didn't deny my assumption. "…Is Meguri-chan really your type?"

"I thought I already told you that I'm just curious and her being my type will be known if I know her more." I honestly answered.

"You're deciding too fast; didn't you know that you will hurt a lot of girls if you focused too much on Meguri-chan?" Her words contain a sharpness that is meant for me.

"If what you said is the truth, then I don't know if the girls who like me have damage in their brain and I'll be the one who'll voluntary ask the girl so anyone will be rejected without any hesitation and don't attempt to tell me what to do."

"Are you telling me that I have something wrong in my brain?" Her mouth is not smiling anymore.

"I'm not since what you want with me is a merely pure interest which cannot be described as love."

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"We've accidentally known each other for a month, it's impossible you fell for me within that short time."

She smiles but not because of happiness, maybe curiosity? "Go on and try to persuade me."

"I already told you I'm soon-to-be-extinct type and that's the reason why you got hooked on me if by any chance you found another man like me but have a better appearance like pretty boy…" I look at her.

"…I think you'll prefer him over me."

"Hahaha…" She laughs at my explanation. "…I think you've got the point…"

Her laugh ceased as she looks at me. "…then I presume that was the reason why you like Meguri-chan? A mere interest."

I frown at her words. "Didn't I correct myself earlier that what I feel about Senpai is mere curiosity and me loving her is only a possibility?"

She blinks her eyes and smile. "Right, I just blindly believe that there's another meaning behind your words..."

She rests her cheek on her palm. "...You're brutally honest, Hikigaya-kun."

"I also think the same, but it's not absolute as I lie as well," I admit my sin.

She nods. "For someone important to you, right?"

I just stay silent as she already knows the answer.

Our orders finally arrived, and we took our time to eat instead of having a conversation that shifts from best to the worst atmosphere and vice versa.

…

…

We are walking or should I say I'm being dragged to walk around the mall instead of heading straight to my bike.

"Hikigaya-kun, you should've noticed what I'm doing before right?" She asked while looking at the decorations of the mall.

"If it's luring me in a trap then I guess?" I said without any hint of curiosity as it's like common knowledge for me.

She nods. "Did Hayato or Yukino-chan told you about our past?"

"I think you're the one who spills the most."

"Hahaha…" She chuckles. "…it looks like Yukino-chan and Hayato are too frail for you."

"It's because you are so persistent of spilling everything that I unwillingly learned it."

"Eh, you shouldn't say that in front of a beautiful woman like me…" It looks like her self-depreciation is the same as her sister. "…I'll add another information then."

I immediately interject. "I'm not interested so please keep it to yourself or someone interested."

She frowns. "You also shouldn't tell that when a woman is in distress."

"At least give me a proper expression as I can't find that distressed woman."

As she notices that words can't budge me, she resorts to violence as she starts poking my side with force.

"I wonder if this will let you feel the pain."

I hold the wrist she used for poking. "I'm open ears, but I won't assure you that it won't go out to the other side."

She chuckles as she drags me on the bench near the fountain.

She puts her index finger at her chin and looks at the sky from the glass of the mall. "I wonder where should I start? Yukino-chan and Hayato's love life? Yukino-chan's sudden change? Or…"

"How about saying the main point instead of summarizing everything with the title alone?" I suggest.

"Of course,…" She smiles at my suggestion. "…Hikigaya-kun is not interested in Yukino-chan, to begin with..."

I ignore her words and she starts giving me unwanted information. "Even though Yukino-chan is beautiful, smart, she is still young and immature…"

She sighs. "…and the only thing she's doing is what's common for her which makes things boring."

"Doing something common is like doing where you're good at. If it's me, I won't hesitate to do it as well instead of working hard to do something I'm bad at besides what made you boring might be interesting to others."

Her solemn face that hides behind her smile suddenly vanished as she looks at me. "Of course, you've got a point but it's not absolute like what we have right now!"

"I don't think we have anything other than being a mere acquaintance," I answered.

She chuckles and starts poking my bicep. "What do you think of me? Beautiful? Sexy? Or a Liar?"

"Why are you asking a multiple choice without all of the above in the choices?"

"Right, I forgot about that…" She puts her annoying hand on her lap. "…but the main point is I'm a liar in your definition, right?"

"I think that harsh how about a storyteller?" I said.

"That doesn't lessen the meaning at all. Oh well, let's just say that I'm a fabricator and what I'm good at is satisfying everyone which should be common for me…" She points her finger to me.

"…but why am I having a hard time satisfying your interest on me?"

"Maybe that's not where you're good at, I think you should change your course."

She happily rejects me. "Not interested since I've experienced a nice dream."

"Basing everything to a dream? That's unlikely of you."

"Of course, I won't base everything on it…" She smirks which is rare for her to do. "…but I'll turn it into a goal."

"As long as I'm not involved then do what you want." It looks like something annoying will happen.

"That's impossible as you're the goal." Yep, the annoyance's target is me.

"How did I barge in your dream?" I sigh.

"I don't know…" She stands up in front of me. "…but the only thing I know is I regret not doing this earlier."

She leans closer but I immediately used my right hand to stop what she is planning.

She immediately swings her left arm to slap away my hand and grab my right wrist which she immediately tried to pull but I also pulled at the same time and grab her wrist as well.

"Resorting to violence? And that movement, Aikido?" I ask.

Does this woman want to lock my arm?

She also looks surprised at my sudden movement.

"I didn't think Hikigaya-kun is a hard-working type to learn some martial arts. You won't put too much strength to a feeble woman, right?"

How can you say you're frail when you tried to lock my arm down?

"I guess, and I hope that you won't use your right hand since your legs are out of the question," I said while looking at her long skirt.

"Quite a pervert…" She chuckles. "…well, that caught me surprised but this isn't bad as well."

I give her a questioning look but the only thing she did is. "KYAAA!"

Yes, she shouts like a victim that is terrified from being harassed and I'm the harasser.

Once people heard those and saw a beautiful woman shriek once. The Carnivores' cognitive system will automatically tell them that I'm violating this woman.

A group of males around college immediately shouts. "Oi Creep, what are you doing?"

They glare at me even though I'm only using self-defense.

"Release her this instant or don't blame us if you'll wake up at the hospital!" The other man shouts.

I sigh and release her. I'll just hope I won't get punish heavily that my parents need to be summoned.

The moment I released her, she immediately used both hands and coil around my neck while pressing her body on me who's sitting.

*CHU*

The unguarded me suddenly attacked by her soft lips. I think everyone also got silent at the sudden comeback by this woman.

I tried to remove her, but she bit my lower lip as something liquid flows into it and I know it's not saliva as pain intrudes my body, so I just let her do what she wants.

After a couple of seconds, she distanced her face and looked at the males. "Sorry everyone, I've seen a cockroach in my bag, that caused me to shout but my boyfriend tries to calm me down and it looks like it caught a lot of misunderstanding."

Her words caused the males to get back to their senses and even the people's prying eyes from the upper floor also calms down.

She looks at me. "Lying is too easy for me as it gives positive outcome…"

She pressed her body once more without any care on the affection she's showing here and rest her face on my shoulder as she whispers. "…with your brutality of being honest that results of the negative outcome, I believe that I'm the only one who'll be compatible with you. Meguri's honesty won't keep your curiosity for so long."

She removes her body from me as she stands up and offers me her hand.

I grab it and stand up as well and I'm glaring at her this time. "You've crossed the line."

She looks at me without her façade. "I know…"

Her acknowledgment of her doings caught me a little bit surprised.

She touched my cheek. "…if I've seen this expression for the first time, then I'll honestly get scared, but I already saw this in my dream."

"Hikigaya-kun…" She looks at me seriously. "…let's have a match like what Shizuka-chan proposed to you and Yukino-chan."

Sensei really knows how to spill anything as long as it's not personal information.

"If I've become an interesting person in your life then I win but if not, I'll admit defeat."

"What's the time limit and condition?" I ask.

"Your High School life and there's only one condition just simply ignore Meguri-chan, I believe that she can't satisfy your interest for a long time and it's not only for my selfish desire but also for her as well."

"Only in First Year…" I demand. "…and what's the prize?"

"First Year? Alright, about the prize winner's takes all!"

She elaborates. "If I win, I'll give you my everything, I'll turn you into a dictator in my life."

"Are you sabotaging your initial plan?..." I ask which she nods without any hesitation.

"…I prefer if you don't give up easily and risk everything in this single bet."

"The moment I kissed you I already sealed everything in this match." She picked out her handkerchief as she wipes the blood beside my lips.

I sigh. "Do what you want, I'll decide my prize if something came up in my mind."

She blinks her eyes then smiles. "It looks like I won't be forbidden to have a second chance once I lost."

"Who knows?" I said as I turn around.

She grabs my arm. "Where are you going?"

"Home, I'm tired," I answer truthfully.

She chuckles. "Bring me to the station and act like a boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" I give her a questioning look.

"You need to be interested in me and I'm fighting with the time so I'll have to use my time properly and I'm really busy this week so entertain me to the fullest." She grabs her sling bag and locks my arm.

I sigh while I grab my bag and she starts dragging me to where I parked my bike.

Risking everything? That's kind of interesting.

"By the way Hikigaya-kun, I think you're wrong about me preferring others over you."

"It's just your thought," I said.

"Hahaha..." She chuckles and rephrases her sentence. "...By the way Hikigaya-kun, You're wrong about me preferring others over you."

I sigh. "Yeah."

Quite Short? No, it's not!

No Haruno for the meantime, 100% Sure in the next Chapter. On the next, I dunno.
