Chapter 33: Haruna's home
(Ryoto's pov)
The next day arrived as always, and my morning wasn't any different from usual. I woke up next to naked Lala. Her tail was lying on top of my chest. We needed to get up soon so we wouldn't be late for school, so I decided to touch her tail a bit, waking her in the process.
Lala: "Mhmm~."
Lala woke up with a moan and turned to me with a pout.
Lala: "I told you to not wake me up like that."
I chuckled.
Ryoto: "Sorry, but you are just too cute, and besides, we'll be late at this rate."
Lala: "Oh right!"
Lala jumped out of our bed and started dressing up. I don't know why but seeing her dress up makes me slightly sad.

'Oi, what is the meaning of this Karen?'
Karen: "Don't look at me. I don't make the rules. I just follow them."

After a delicious breakfast, we went to school, and there I told Risa about the plan. She agreed, and we proceeded to execute it, but I felt that I was forgetting something the whole day.
We let Haruna go home alone, and shortly after, we went to meet her again. Rito had his gift-ready. It was a small plant that was easy to take care of. It was like him to give a gift like this.
After a brief walk, we were standing before Haruna's home. Risa rang the bell, and Haruna answered not long after. She was surprised by our visit but welcomed us in nonetheless.
We apologized for inviting her yesterday, and she quickly forgave us. She didn't even blame us as she explained that expecting aliens in the old school building was unreasonable. At her comment, Karen started laughing.
She found it hilarious that I knew exactly what I was putting her in and still went through with my plan, but no one noticed my nervousness, thanks to my reliable poker face.
In Haruna's room, we spent time playing board games, eating snacks, and chatting. We had a lot of fun, but I had a strange feeling at the back of my head the whole time. It wasn't spider-sense but my instincts that were going crazy.
Rito didn't give his present to Haruna immediately as he was too nervous about doing it, but he finally gathered his courage and did it. Haruna seeing it smiled sweetly and accepted the plant.
It was evening, and we started to think it was time to go back to our respective homes, but all of us heard a front door open and close.
Akiho: "I'm home!"
Akiho: "I don't know about it~."
We bickered, well I disputed while Akiho teased me. She always was like that, taking nothing seriously and teasing me to no end. Back then, I wasn't as thick-skinned as I'm today, but that wasn't even the worst part...
While it was going on, the girls started whispering among each other.
Risa: "Say Haruna, do you know what's this all about?"
Haruna shook her head.
Haruna: "I don't know. I haven't heard anything about R-Ryoto-kun from my sister."
Rito: "Me neither. Nii-San doesn't like to talk about past or him in general."
Lala: "Ryoto before I met him..."
Lala muttered to herself.
Rito: "I'm more surprised about him on the ceiling, to be honest."
Risa was surprised by what Rito had said.
Risa: "What? You didn't know?"
Rito: "Wait, you did know?"
Risa: "Almost everyone in the class knows."
Rito: "How?"
Risa: "The question is how you didn't know. He didn't hide it or anything."
Rito didn't pay attention to some things and was often not present at the display of my power.
Risa: "Changing topics, have any of you've seen know Ryoto's eyes? He started walking around with his eyes closed at the beginning of the semester, and he never opened them again, but he doesn't have any problems as if he was seeing everything."
Rito: I thought it was just a weird quirk of his. It wouldn't be the first time he started doing something random."
Lala: "Oh, I've seen them. They are beautiful blue eyes!"
Risa: "Oh~ a piece of new information emerged! So he has blue eyes."
Rito looked confused.
Rito: "But Nii-San has brown eyes."
Everyone: "Huh!!?"
