It has been established Haruna knows Rito's personality quite well (which was established in the very early CH's) as a kind person & seemingly the only person to see it.

Until I've properly read the CH, that's my take on it.

Spoiler for Ch. 10.5:

Haruna was there because it was logical that she'd be there (as she is one of the main characters in Rito's class) and she acted that way out of necessity to highlight the difference in Yui's mindset. If Haruna reacted any other way, then Yui reacting the way she did wouldn't have been a big deal because she would have been agreeing with Haruna. Haruna was used as a device in this case to create a contrast for Yui.

It's as simple as that. There's no point in blowing this out of proportion to make Haruna look bad, when she was used by the author to make Yui look good. It's a Yui chapter, after all.

Also, it's not stupid (unless I'm also stupid for agreeing ). I agree that the belts work very well on Yami.
