Chapter 1566 If this continues, I...

Mari had decided to check whether the relationship between Haru and Jeanne was healthy or not, but it seemed that she didn't have that chance since it really had been a while for her to have fun together, especially with her little sister.

Everyone decided to stay together tonight and they stayed together in Jeanne's room, playing around, talking to each other, and having fun together until they felt tired and fell asleep together.

Jeanne's bed was huge and even if there were five people sleeping together on the same bed, it didn't feel cramped and they could sleep soundly.

Satsuki, who had her fun and played around happily with her new friends, slept soundly with a happy smile on her face, hoping that this kind of day would continue.

Maya was also happy when she could stay together with her older sister. She knew that her older sister was often troubled by a lot of matters and she was very busy so when both of them could stay together like this, she was very happy.

Jeanne was also very happy since she had never had such a normal girl party before. In her teenage days, she had been living as a Saint, living on the battlefield most of the time, then when everything ended, she was being sacrificed by her own country and being burnt the enemy of her country so it made her happy when she could have a lot of good friends like this.

On the other hand, it might be the first time for Shizuno to be able to play around freely, having fun together with her new friends, without thinking about the matter of her family. Her family had always forced her to not own her own will so what had happened right now was like a dream for her and she also wanted a day like this to be continued, but she knew that it was hard when she thought about her family's condition.

In the middle of the night, Shizuno woke up late since she felt thirsty. She wiped her eyes and looked at everyone, who was sleeping, some of them were sleeping soundly, some of them were very sloppy, which made her shake her head, but she didn't realize that there was a smile on her mouth at this moment and it might be the first time that she was glad to live as Shizuno Urushibara, not as Witch of Netherworld.

Shizuno then stood up and walked, and didn't forget to walk over Satsuki's stomach that was wide open.

"Ugh..."

Satsuki frowned, but she didn't wake up.

Shizuno yawned and left the room to go to the kitchen.

Before she came, Haru and Jeanne told her not to be reserved and thought of this place as her home so that's what she did.

Shizuno had to admit that this house was better than her house and she somehow wanted to live in this place, but she knew that her family might not allow it unless...

Shizuno shook her head and took a glass of water to drink but then she realized that someone was sitting on the edge of the living room, facing the yard lazily with a laptop and a bottle of wine. From the back, she could tell who this person was.

"Haru?"

Haru turned his head and noticed Shizuno. "Oh, Shizuno, you're not sleeping yet?"

"I have woken up because I feel thirsty." Shizuno brought a glass of water and walked toward Haru. "You're a minor, you can't drink wine." But after she said all of that, she sat next to him, grabbed the bottle of wine, and poured it on her glass.

"...You're also a minor, you shouldn't drink it," Haru said with a speechless expression, and quickly took the bottle of wine from Shizuno, after she poured a little amount of it.

"Stingy!"

Shizuno snorted and sipped the wine slowly, but she didn't expect that the wine was so clear and delicious that it made her feel that she was having a date on the side of the beautiful river with her lover, however, when she saw the face of the lover, somehow his face was a bit fuzzy which made her frown.

Shizuno then stared at Haru, who was sipping his wine slowly, while staring at the night sky. She followed his gaze and asked, "You're not sleeping?"

"I can't sleep with someone accompanying me..." Haru said with a sad tone.

Shizuno chuckled and said, "What are you? A child?" But then she realized something and asked, "You have been sleeping with Jeanne?"

"Yes." Haru didn't hide anything and nodded. "Is there something wrong? We're lovers after all." However, when he thought about Jeanne's smile when she played together with everyone, he felt quite happy since she could have the life of normal girl in this world.

Having a lover, having a friend, going to school, all of that was impossible to enjoy Jeanne before, but right now, it was possible.

"I was joking, you don't need to take it seriously," Haru said.

"..."

Shizuno could pretty much tell that this guy wasn't joking when she told her that both of them had been sleeping together which made her jealous. She wasn't jealous of Jeanne who had Haru beside her, but she was jealous of Jeanne who could stay beside her loved one.

"Right, Shizuno."

"What's wrong?"

"Thank you for being Jeanne's friend, I hope that both of you can become even closer," Haru said with a smile.

There was no great meaning in Haru's words, he didn't imply that he was going to make Shizuno become his woman too so the relationship between Jeanne and Shizuno became even closer and became a sister.

Haru only hoped that both Shizuno and Jeanne could be good friends from now on since he felt a bit worried to leave Jeanne on Shinobu since Jeanne might be corrupted.

Shizuno was a bit in shock when she saw Haru and somehow she felt a bit guilty when she thought that the reason why she started to get closer to them was that she was told by her older brother.

'However...'

Shizuno felt that everything that had happened was really fun and it was like a dream, and when she saw the young man in front of him, she somehow felt jealous of Jeanne, who had such a thoughtful and caring boyfriend.

"Jeanne is happy to have you."

"I am the one who is happy to have her."

Haru then looked at Shizuno then asked, "How about you? I can tell that you seem to be in love with someone, is it from our class?"

When Shizuno was being asked that question, her mood became bad and she grabbed the bottle of wine on then drank it in one gulp.

Haru was dumbfounded and tried to pull the bottle from Shizuno, but this girl was too persistent and didn't want to let it go until she coughed hard.

"Cough! Cough!"

"As I said before, don't drink too much." Haru patted Shizuno's back and gave her a glass of water. When he patted Shizuno's back, he used a "Ripple" so she wouldn't be drunk and felt better.

"Here, drink some water."

Shizuno gulped the water while being fed by Haru without hesitation. She felt better and somehow clearer, even though she was slightly tipsy.

"Haru, can you listen to a story?" Shizuno asked.

"Sure, I am not sleepy yet." Haru was also curious about the reason why Shizuno suddenly became very fierce and drank the wine

Shizuno was slightly drunk, seemed to have let go all of her reserves, telling everything that had happened to her from how her family had always told her to not have her own will, from how her older brother had always treated her as a tool, she felt that even though she was coming from a rich family, she was only a slave that was chained on her family.

Shizuno was about to tell the story of her previous lives, but her mind was sober so she didn't continue with her story, but she complained when the one that she was waiting for would come to save her.

All the girls had always dreamed of having their prince with a white horse to save them.

Unfortunately, Shizuno didn't have that.

Shizuno sobbed slightly, sitting while hugging her own knees, staring at the ground until she felt a warm and strong hand caressing her head gently. She was a bit surprised, but she felt very comfortable.

"Haru?"

"Shizuno, let's go to your house right now." Haru stood up and said, "I will ask your family to give you to me so you won't worry about living in such a life anymore."

Shizuno was dumbfounded and quickly stopped him since she could tell that this guy was serious.

"Stop! Stop! Don't do this! I don't want to trouble you!"

"It's easy for me to solve this kind of thing in a day," Haru said since he didn't think that it was hard to save Shizuno from her family.

"....."

Shizuno stopped then asked, "Why?" She felt quite confused at why Haru decided to help her so much, however, she would be lying if she didn't feel moved by him.

Both of them had only met each other for a while and even if both of them had a good feeling, it was impossible for both of them to deepen their relationship when Haru had Jeanne as his girlfriend.

"What do you mean, why?"

"Why do you want to help me so much? If you help me so much then I might think that you have fallen for me," Shizuno said jokingly since she wanted to make their conversation less serious.

"If I said, yes." Haru stared at Shizuno and asked, "What do you think?"

Shizuno blushed and lowered her head, but then she shook her head and said, "You have Jeanne and, you should know that I..." She wanted to say that she was in love with her lover in her previous life, but somehow, it felt wrong. Her identity was Shizuno Urushibara, and she wasn't Witch of Netherworld.

But then...

Shizuno quickly shook her head and said, "It wasn't good to joke around, Haru." When she was swayed by his words before, she felt guilty, but she wasn't guilty toward her lover in previous lives, but she was sorry for Jeanne.

Haru then shrugged his shoulders and said, "I might be a bit tipsy, I should go to sleep."

"Yes."

Shizuno nodded, but somehow, there was a sense of loss in her heart.

"However..."

"Huh?"

"I wasn't joking about what I have said to you before." Haru looked straight at Shizuno and said, "If you need my help, then tell me, I will come directly to your house and bring you out from there."

"I..."

Shizuno's voice was choked and her eyes were red.

"Money is the only thing that I don't lack in this world and keeping a spoiled Ojou-sama is something easy for me," Haru said with a smile.

"Who is spoiled Ojou-sama!?" Shizuno complained.

Both of them then looked at each other while chuckling.

"Then I will go back to my room, you should go back too." Haru patted Shizuno's head gently, then left her while bringing his laptop and bottle of wine.

"Good night," Shizuno said.

Waving his hand, Haru didn't say anything, but it told her that he heard her words.

Staring at his back, Shizuno wanted to reach him, but she stopped. She squatted down and covered her face with her hands.

"What should I do?"

Shizuno wasn't sure what to do.

"If this continues, I..."
