Chapter 307

But Nijika gave her a sideways glance.

Liang continued eating without a care in the world. Just as Xiang was worried that a fight was about to begin, Nijika sighed and turned her gaze to her, asking a question.

"Is Hibiki in the third year of junior high school?"

Hibiki glanced at Ryo and replied, "Yes, that's right."

At this moment, Ishikawa Hayato also sat down on the sofa. He sat in the very corner, but as soon as he sat down, he patted the leg of the Hitori next to him.

With his eyes fixed on the fried chicken nuggets, Hitori stood up on his own initiative. He then moved to where Hitori had been sitting, Hitori sat back down on his lap.

Without any hesitation, Ishikawa Hayato picked up his chopsticks and also gave Hitori a piece of fried chicken.

Hitori stared at the fried chicken nuggets in front of her, her eyes sparkling and her mouth practically watering. She happily took a bite.

But before she could swallow, she picked up her chopsticks and gave Ishikawa Hayato a piece of yokan (sweet bean jelly).

"Those are the test takers. Are their scores okay? They can ask us anytime if they have any difficulties," Ikuyo said.

Ikuyo won't let us show off our love, so you'll find someone else? And your sister, your own sister! He was practically drooling!

But she didn't leave out the answer.

"It's okay. Although my grades aren't as good as my brother's, I'm still doing quite well."

"So this means you can't go down or up, sigh, my Ishikawa Hayato's sister actually..."

Hibiki's anger continued to rise because of Ishikawa Hayato's words, but before Ishikawa Hayato could finish speaking, he brought the pudding to Hibiki.

Hibiki smiled and took the pudding, saying proudly.

"But I'm not a pervert."

Ishikawa Hayato chuckled smugly.

Nijika did notice that Xiang was a little shy, and her tone became softer, as if she were just asking casually, although that was also her intention.

"So, will you go to Shuhua High School like your brother in the future?"

As she spoke, she picked up a French fry and ate it casually.

"No, I won't take that long tram ride to school like my silly older brother."

And it's not even a school with a very high deviation rate.

Hibiki kept these words in her heart; she remembered that two of her sisters-in-law were in the same school as Ishikawa Hayato.

But her words still offended one of the sisters-in-law, the one who had prepared most of the dishes on the table.

Startled for Hitori moment, he suddenly lowered his head and became lost in his own world.

And those who survive a near-death experience are often given a final blow.

"Indeed, it's much easier to get around if it's closer to home and transportation is convenient, and it's also easier to find friends to hang out with."

Ikuyo spoke, she winked at Hitori, implying that in order to build a good relationship with Hibiki, she would have to ask Ichiri to make a sacrifice.

Idiot, can't find any friends. Two consecutive slashes dealt true damage to Hitori immediately collapsed with zero health.

Ishikawa Hayato sensed that there would be plenty of fun today, so he smiled and picked up Hitori to comfort him while observing the scene.

Xiang looked at his sister-in-law with a puzzled expression; she hadn't uttered a single word during this game of friendship before collapsing to the ground.

215. Questions and Answers about Life and Death

Hibiki still remembers the first time she met Hitori. Back then, this sister-in-law looked very strange. Now she's so much prettier, but her inner self is still the same.

She didn't Hitori the situation further.

Seeing that Hitori had just put a piece of yokan (sweet bean jelly) on Ishikawa Hayato's plate, Hibiki quickly grabbed a piece from the plate on the coffee table while everyone else was paying attention to Hitori.

As for why you should slip it in when other people's attention is diverted, it's obviously because you don't want to appear impolite.

The battle between her and her sisters-in-law had already begun the moment she entered Ishikawa Hayato's house!

She, Ishikawa Hibiki, is representing her brother's family of origin! She's going to defeat her sisters-in-law with her composure.

Even though there's not much benefit to winning.

Moreover, it seems that two of the sisters-in-law had no intention of participating at all and chose to surrender directly.

With a head full of strange thoughts, Hibiki ate the yokan (sweet bean jelly).

"Mmm... so sweet..."

The overly sweet taste made Hibiki unable to help but shout out.

"Huh?" Nijika blinked, slightly surprised. She was the one who made this yokan.

She also picked up a piece of yokan (sweet bean jelly), put it in her mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and then spoke.

"It's a little sweet, isn't Hibiki good with sweet things?"

As she spoke, Ikuyo and Ryo also curiously tried it.

After tasting it, Ikuyo's expression turned strange. "Senior Nijika, you went a little too far."

She took a couple of bites of the cold drink, then grabbed a beverage from the coffee table and drank it down, she said helplessly.

"You yourself said not to spoil Falcon too much, but now even your own tastes have changed..."

Upon hearing Liang's words, Nijika quickly glanced at Xiang and hurriedly waved her hand.

"Wait, wait, now is not the time to talk about this!"

The cloyingly sweet taste in his mouth was hard to swallow, but then the sudden dog food stuffed his mouth full.

What do you mean your tastes have completely changed? If it's like the older brother's tastes, that's just too outrageous.

She had previously worried that the fact that the group was so peaceful was because they didn't like the older brother that much, which was why they weren't jealous at all, but it seems that's not the case.

Hibiki glanced at Ishikawa Hayato, who was leisurely playing affectionately with Hitori, seemingly oblivious to what was happening here.

Even she found their appearance displeasing, yet the other sisters-in-law remained remarkably calm.

In her Nijika noticed Hibiki's gaze and, seeing the situation with Ishikawa Hayato, quickly shifted her focus.

"Hayato-kun, be careful!"

Nijika's reminder triggered a chain reaction, Ikuyo also spoke up.

"Yeah, everyone's chatting, you're going too far."

Hearing the accusations from several people, Hitori stood up uneasily and quietly sat down next to Ishikawa Hayato, who looked at them helplessly.

"But just chatting is so boring, how about we play some games?"

She went to Xiang to watch the play this time, and she paid attention to her sisters-in-law's reactions.

However, just chatting like this is really not very interesting. This time she came with a different idea than last time. She wanted to get to know her sisters-in-law better.

Liang picked up another piece of fried chicken and asked nonchalantly, "What game?"

Without even thinking, Ishikawa Hayato said it directly.

"King's Game."

"Would anyone play the King's Game when their sister is around?!"

Nijika immediately complained.

Does this mean they can play whenever she's not around? It seems the sisters-in-law and brothers have a lot of fun together in private...

Perhaps others play the King's Game to experience being a king, while he plays it as a pastime.

Xiang looked around again and, seeing that the others indeed disagreed, breathed a sigh of relief.

If they really played the King's Game, she would either be embarrassed or get sunburned, which wouldn't be good.

Ishikawa Hayato had his own perspective. He looked at Hibiki and said, "Yeah, it's like stepping on a landmine."

"Are you treating me like a landmine...?"

Xiang muttered a self-aware complaint in a low voice.

"It's so exciting, figuring out where the landmines are and then avoiding them..."

Ishikawa Hayato stopped speaking under Nijika's increasingly piercing gaze, then gave an awkward laugh and continued.

"That..."

"How about a game of Truth or Dare? Of course, overly difficult questions and dares are not allowed."

Before he could finish speaking, Hibiki interrupted him, looking expectantly at his sisters-in-law and glancing at Ishikawa Hayato as he made the final rules.

Compared to the King's Game that Ishikawa Hayato mentioned, Hibiki's proposed game is much more normal.

It's also easier to get along with friends and understand them through embarrassing moments and shared interests.

Of course, whether you can have fun playing this kind of social game depends on the people you play with.

The three people, except for Hitori away, looked at each other and quickly agreed.

"Not bad."

"Let's play then!"

The vote is unanimously in favor; the game begins.

"The rules are like this: I have six cards in my hand, four regular cards and two jokers. The joker determines whether the second joker should tell the truth or the third joker."

As the one who proposed the game, Hibiki explained the rules to the five players while holding the cards in his hand and shuffling the cards.

The four girls listened attentively to her explanation, but after seeing the constantly changing cards in her hand, they all turned to Ishikawa Hayato.

Just then, I saw Ishikawa Hayato staring at the card in Hibiki's hand.

"Hayato-kun, you can take the last one."

Nijika decisively limited Ishikawa Hayato's ability to cheat and sly.

Looking at Ishikawa Hayato, who had already memorized the fine details on the card, he said incredulously.

"How could this be?!"

But none of the four of them paid him any attention.

Seeing this, Xiang secretly rejoiced; it seemed his sisters-in-law had also suffered a lot at his hands.

Outside the apartment, the sky was overcast, with one or two dry, cracked leaves swirling in the air.

Everyone in the family gathered in the living room and sat on the sofa that had been moved. The chaise lounge, which was originally fixed, was now divided into two parts on either side of the coffee table.

Ryo sat down next to Ishikawa Hayato, reached out his slender hand, picked up the playing cards on the coffee table, glanced at them, and smiled.

"I am the king."

A hint of interest flickered in Liang's indifferent eyes as he glanced at Ishikawa Hayato beside him and Hibiki sitting between Nijika and Ikuyo.

Her voice could be heard from the other side of Ishikawa Hayato.

"Xiao Wang is... it's me..."

Hitori timidly raised her hand, feeling very uneasy about being the first to be asked a question.

Liang glanced at the cards, his interest waning. He casually tossed them back onto the table, leaned back on the sofa, and asked a question.

What is the most embarrassing thing that Bocchi remembers?

"Ah..." Hitori blinked twice quickly.

Although Hitori's lies were fluent, his deceptive manner was very easy to spot, at least for Ishikawa Hayato.

"Hitori, you have to tell the truth."

Ishikawa Hayato gave a timely reminder, and the next moment, Hitori turned into a pitiful face like this (><).

Anyone could tell from her expression that she had originally intended to lie.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Hitori weakly tried to change the game content.

"Liang Sang... what is a dare?"
