Ch 119. Haruno: So Sour... This Apple is So Sour...

Haruno went to the kitchen to grab a fruit knife and then took a small figurine she had bought the day before from her bed.

Sitting in front of the computer, she glared at the surveillance footage with a vicious look, using the figurine as a stand-in for Hoshimi. She stabbed it repeatedly with the knife, each thrust pulling out a piece of white "innards" (cotton).

"Dammit!"

Haruno couldn't help but curse.

How long have they been kissing?! It's been over ten minutes already?! Are their mouths not dry?!

They're practically gasping for air and still kissing!

Still kissing! You little bastard, still kissing! I'll kill you!

Fuming with anger, Haruno stabbed the figurine, the cold blade piercing through its back, with strands of cotton hanging from the tip, proving its cruelty and sharpness.

Watching the couple's deep kiss, Haruno continued to stab the figurine.

But the figurine didn't feel pain; Haruno did. Each stab seemed to pierce her heart, real white knives turning red, each cut spewing a significant amount of blood!

Finally, when Hoshimi tried to kiss Yukino again, she reached out to block his lips.

They seemed to have said something, and then they ceased their passionate display, holding hands and resting against the sofa.

Seeing the blushing, dazed couple, Haruno's heart bled.

But at least it was over. They weren't kissing anymore and didn't seem to have any further intentions.

This is good... At least Yukino remains calm, knowing what can and cannot be done...

"Hoshimi! Kiyokawa!"

"Clang!"

Still furious, Haruno thrust the fruit knife into the table and then stared at Hoshimi on the screen. Using her delicate fingers, she dismembered the battered figurine, sending cotton flying everywhere.

"Hmph!" Haruno snorted coldly and threw the figurine's head into the trash bin.

She stared at the screen for a while longer, confirming that Hoshimi and Yukino were merely holding hands and resting. Then she pulled out the knife and headed to the kitchen.

She needed to clean the knife and cut some fruit for herself.

After watching the surveillance footage for so long, she was also feeling thirsty.

Soon, Haruno returned to the computer with a plate of fruit salad.

She glanced at the screen and saw that during the time she had been preparing the fruit salad, Hoshimi had moved the laptop to the living room and placed it on the coffee table.

There was also a plastic bag on the sofa, filled with various snacks.

Were they planning to watch a movie?

Haruno guessed, using a toothpick to skewer a piece of apple, eating while watching the surveillance footage.

Before long, Haruno confirmed her guess as she saw the laptop screen on the side.

She continued eating the fruit, preparing to keep watch. As long as Hoshimi didn't leave Yukino's house, her eyes wouldn't leave the monitor.

She needed to keep a close watch on Hoshimi to ensure her pure sister wasn't entirely consumed.

On the screen, Hoshimi and Yukino began watching a movie.

But their position made Haruno's hand, which was holding the fruit, freeze in mid-air.

Hoshimi was sitting on the sofa, holding Yukino and placing her on his lap. Yukino, with a flushed face, struggled for a moment. Seeing she couldn't escape, she turned her head and said something to Hoshimi.

Then Hoshimi spread his legs, Yukino adjusted her position, and sat down on the sofa between Hoshimi's legs.

Next, Hoshimi opened his arms and held Yukino tightly.

Yukino patted Hoshimi's arms a couple of times, seeing he wouldn't let go, and just accepted it.

At this point, the movie entered the main plot, and both Hoshimi and Yukino quieted down, focusing their attention on the film in a warm and intimate manner.

Seeing this, Haruno expressionlessly put the apple piece into her mouth.

So sour... This apple is so sour... It's making her almost cry...

As she ate, Haruno felt increasingly uncomfortable.

Hoshimi and Yukino were watching the movie lovingly, occasionally whispering sweet nothings.

And she? An empty room, a lonely bed, scattered cotton, and herself alone...

It was so pitiful...

"Damn it!!"

Haruno couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Not because of her pitiful situation, but because that bastard Hoshimi! That bastard... He's kissing Yukino again!

Taking advantage of feeding Yukino snacks, he suddenly replaced the snacks with his own mouth!

Is this guy a dog?! Doesn't he get tired of it?!

Haruno gritted her teeth, puffing her cheeks slightly. She was too lazy to use the toothpick and directly picked fruit from the plate, getting white salad dressing all over her hand.

She imagined the fruit as Hoshimi, biting into each piece with brutal, bloody force.

Soon, the plate was empty, with only the slippery white salad dressing left.

"tsk~" She clicked her tongue, took out a tissue, and wiped the white salad dressing from her hand.

Meanwhile, she noticed something off in the surveillance footage of Yukino and Hoshimi.

The two had stopped watching the movie and were now being affectionate.

Haruno zoomed in on the monitor and saw that Yukino's cheeks were as red as peaches, her eyes full of spring-like charm.

Seeing this, Haruno's heart skipped a beat, feeling a sense of dread.

Looking at the laptop screen through the monitor, she realized they weren't watching a regular movie! The plot had progressed to a very intimate stage.

It seemed Hoshimi had been scheming from the start! And now, Yukino was likely influenced by the atmosphere, lost in it, unable to extricate herself.

Haruno subconsciously glanced at the remaining sweet, white salad dressing in the plate.

Her mind exploded with countless thoughts, and her hair began to tingle.

This cannot go on! If Yukino doesn't wake up, it's all over!

Without hesitation, she picked up her phone and called Yukino.

The phone rang, waking Yukino. She took out her phone, didn't answer, hung up, and then quickly sent an email.

"Sorry, sister, I'm busy right now and can't take the call. Is there something you need?"

Haruno's face darkened. What are you busy with?! Busy creating the next generation for the Yukinoshita family?! Busy making me an aunt at a young age?!

My cute and honest sister has learned to lie! Damn it! This is definitely Hoshimi's fault!

She looked at the affectionate couple on the screen, gritted her teeth, and sent an email back.

"Little Yukino is busy? Then never mind. Just call me back when you're done."
