Wasn't that the point? She's embarassed the same way little kids are when their aunts/grandmas goes all "aww, how cute!" "who's the smart little girl?" etc
So cute~Hey, cutie~!Kirishima, too, shares their opinion!I-it's embarrassing so please stop...Houshou's really cute deesu!!!Yes, Haruna also thinks that Houshou is cute!It's a matter between the elder and younger.
