Haruno was shopping with her family. She was happy since she could spend time with her little sister even though her mother also joined them.

"What do you want to buy? Yukino-chan?" Haruno asked with a smile.

Yukino sighed and said, "Maybe some clothes."

Haruno nodded, "Sure, let's visit the clothes store, mother."

She nodded at her daughter, "Well, I don't mind."

Three of them visited the clothes store while talking to each other.

"That's right, have you found someone in your university?" Yukinoshita's mother asked Haruno.

Haruno's expression became ugly but she hid it immediately, "Not yet."

"I can introduce you to the son of that family," Yukinoshita's mother said.

"Mom, let me search for a while, mom," Haruno said.

"You will become the leader of our family and our family is one of the governors in this country and we have big business, you need to have a suitable partner to help you," Yukinoshita's mother said. She was worried that her daughter didn't find a suitable partner for herself. They were a very small family and it would be hard to maintain it with her daughter alone.

The world was also very dangerous with the appearance of dungeon and monster it was hard to predict whether they could live tomorrow. She wanted her daughter to have someone strong or someone from a big family since that family would have a high-Rank Hunter in their families.

Haruno also understood but she also wanted to search for her own love but she knew it was impossible since she had to carry on her family legacy. She looked at her little sister who was looking at the cat design t-shirt.

"Cute..." Yukino said while holding his cat t-shirt.

Haruno shook her head and felt jealous sometimes. She had to think very hard and put on this charade smile while her little sister had the freedom to do whatever she wanted in her life.

It was unfair but she also didn't want to let her little sister to be forced into marriage.

"Anyway, I will give you one year at that time, you need to find a suitable partner or else I will search for it for your own," Yukinoshita's mother said.

"Yes, mother...." Haruno was wondering whether she could escape from this shackle known as family.

"This is good," Yukino smiled while holding a cat design t-shirt.

Haruno shook her head and better to think about something happy. He smiled and walked to her little sister, "Yukino-chan, are you going to buy that shirt?"

Yukino was startled, "N - no, the design is just too childish." She felt quite regretful when she told her that.

"Eeee, really? Then I will buy it then," Haruno said with a teasing smile.

Yukino had a sad expression on her face but she shook her head and put her usual cold expression, "Then buy it." She thought there was another stock of these clothes in this store.

"Really? I have heard that this shirt is the only one here," Haruno said.

"What?" Yukino became panicked and tried to ask the staff.

"I am sorry but that is the last one," the store clerk said.

Yukino's face became pale when she heard it.

"Ara, Yukino-chan, do you want it?" Haruno asked.

Yukino looked at her while biting her lips.

Haruno smiled happily when she looked at her expression. She started to forget the thing that she had talked about with her mother earlier.

"I - I wan-," Before Yukino finished her words.

"Let's go, we have some appointments," Yukinoshita's mother said.

Haruno frowned when she heard her mother.

Yukino didn't have the courage to fight her mother and could only leave the shirt that she had wanted and placed it back in the clothes store.

Haruno sighed and shook her head. She didn't hate her mother since she also knew how hard it was to manage the Yukinoshita Family. Her father had died early and her mother was the master of this family.

Both of them followed their mother to meet with some big family to make a connection between the two of them. They wanted to make an alliance between two families in this era of monster, dungeon, and hunter.

They walked into the restaurant and saw the other party.

"Hello, Yukinoshita-san," the old man said to her mother.

"Hello, Haruno-san," his son said with a smile to her and gave his hand to her.

Haruno wanted to throw up and didn't want to hold his hand but she had to beat it. She put her best smile and said, "Hello." She also held his hand even though she felt disgusted with him. She had already known the personality of this man and didn't want to have any relationship with him.

"Hahaha, both of them are really suitable for each other," the old man said to her mother.

Yukinoshita's mother smiled and said, "That's true."

"Oh, is this your younger sister?" His son said while looking at Yukino. He looked at her face and ignored her flat chest.

Yukino nodded at him but she didn't introduce herself.

Haruno moved to block his vision from her, "Why don't we talk about the matter today?" She didn't want him to get close to her little sister.

They nodded and agreed to talk about their alliances.

Haruno had to bear this while talking with a smile to both of them. She needed to take advantage of their families as much as she could and definitely wouldn't promise to have a marriage between two families.

They were talking for a while and the old man had talked about the marriage between his son and Haruno.

The son looked at Haruno with a smile.

Haruno really couldn't bear it anymore since she could feel a lust from him. She wanted to get out from this matter, 'I hope a monster break will happen.' She hoped but she didn't expect it would happen.

BOOOOM!!!

"Hissssssss!!!!"

The building was destroyed.

"RUN!!!!" Both the old man and his son ran away very fast while being guarded by their bodyguards.

Haruno and her family were also running away to the shelter but one of the big snakes targeted them. Her bodyguard used their bodies to protect Haruno and her family.

"Milady, please run away!!"

"Haruno, Yukino, let's go!"

Yukinoshita's mother was also scared but she needed to protect her daughters.

Haruno was holding her little sister while running. She felt very dumb to wish for a monster outbreak.

They ran but the number of these snakes were too much and their speed was too slow.

Yukino fell down because she stumbled into something. She wanted to get up but her feet sprained and it was very painful to move.

"YUKINO!!!" Haruno and her mother screamed.

Yukino saw one of those snakes open its mouth wide toward her. She closed her eyes waiting for her death.

Haruno cried and hoped someone would help her little sister.

Then they saw someone suddenly appeared from the sky and landed in front of her. They saw him holding a metal bat in his hand and he bashed those snakes with his bat. They saw him keep killing those snakes with ease.

"Yukino!" Both Haruno and her mother helped her.

Haruno looked at this guy and felt familiar. She saw him walking toward them and she felt her heart thumping. She thought this guy would walk toward her and asked her condition but she didn't expect this scenario.

"Are you okay, milady? Let me help you walk to the shelter."

Yukino and Haruno saw this guy was trying to flirt with their mother.
