Chapitre 466: I’ve already done such a thing twice already

A moment of silence fell between them.

Natsuya's face started reddening even further.

"No, no, I just… tried imagining it for a bit! I'm not saying that I can accept him having a harem right now… Besides, I'm not even his girlfriend yet!!"

'What did I just say!? Why did I just say such things?

'Was I just trying to make a joke, or did I get carried away… at any rate, that wasn't what I should have said out loud!'

"I… I was actually joking around. Something like a harem… I was just casually saying it." Natsuya did her very best to maintain her composure.

"…But you seemed quite serious just now," the cat-eared hat girl muttered in a low voice.

"I wasn't being serious! I just… slightly considered the situation pragmatically…" Natsuya's face continued reddening as she averted her gaze. "I was just extrapolating things from an objective, practical angle… I definitely wasn't thinking about my future at all…"

Hana was rendered speechless.
