Chapter 210

But seeing that there were other people behind her, she no longer disregarded her image as before, and instead became much more restrained.

"This is the studio I set up out of interest, for the purpose of creating games. Please take a quick look around."

"Hmph~ A game? That's amazing! What exactly is it?" She blinked her big eyes.

"Visual text games."

"Hmm, I don't quite understand. Is it a word puzzle game?"

"I think it's okay if you don't understand, but let me just say it for now: it's a dating game."

"Love?! Love through a game? How?!" She stared at him with a gleam in her eyes, her gaze revealing a formidable determination.

Why are you so interested in this kind of otaku stuff? Or is it just that you're interested in the word "romance"?

"Talent-kun, who is this?"

Their commotion had already attracted everyone's attention, but the first to speak and ask a question was Kasumigaoka Utaha.

What happened?

Where did this dazzling young lady, just like the one I bumped into last time, come from?

One by one, this is truly outrageous!

"Let me introduce you. This is Ms. Ouka Mai, who is visiting my home today. She's interested in the studio, so she's come to take a look around. Please don't be shy."

"Hello everyone, nice to meet you all, I'm Ouka Mai."

The reactions varied. Kasumigaoka Utaha looked as if she were facing a formidable enemy; Eriri compared herself to her and looked utterly defeated; Shiina Mashiro and Kato Megumi... showed no expression at all, remaining as calm as ever.

"Miss Wangzhong has such an impressive appearance; she looks like a young lady from Sawamura-kun." Kato Megumi's voice rose and fell slightly, but only slightly.

"I'm so sorry if you're more like a young lady than me!" Eriri stepped onto her wheelchair and glared fiercely at her.

Slap! Slap!

Sakurakoji Talent clapped his hands to signal quiet. "Alright, everyone, please introduce yourselves."

"I'm Kato Megumi, nice to meet you."

"Kasumigaoka Utaha, let's just say she's a Light Novel author."

"Sawamura Spencer Eriri is an illustrator."

"Shiina Mashiro." Shiina Mashiro nodded repeatedly, drowsy.

"Wow! Mashiro! You're not allowed to sleep until this drawing is finished!"

"But..."

"No buts! How can a cartoonist not have the stamina to work through the night for one or two days straight!"

"Noon, sugar, carbon monoxide poisoning..."

Although she spoke very briefly, Sakurakoji Talent could roughly guess what she meant: she ate too much sugar at noon, so she felt dizzy and wanted to take a nap.

But Eriri... he subtly scrutinized the blonde, twin-tailed high school girl.

Normally it's fine, but today, with Ouka Mai beside him, he suddenly thought of her mother, who seemed to be a blonde woman of short stature with the same hairstyle as Eriri.

But their auras are completely different; one is a comedian, while the other is a cool, mature, and powerful woman...

I wonder if Eriri will be like that in ten years or so.

No, that can't be.

This thought only lasted for a second before he rejected it.

"I feel like this place is really interesting!" Watching their interaction, Ouka Mai interested than before, and happily clasped her hands together.

"Speaking of which," her attention was drawn to Kato Megumi, and she looked at him and Aoyama Nanami with a questioning look, "Could this young lady also be a maid in the Sakurakoji Family?"

She probably noticed that Kato Megumi's clothes were different from those of Aoyama Nanami and the maids in the mansion, which aroused her suspicion.

"Yes, Megumi- Senpai Utaha and Sawamura-kun go to the same school. She's currently working part-time as a maid for me. She's wearing this because we don't have enough Maid Outfit right now."

He used the same excuse as before, but then a sudden, mischievous idea struck him... Regardless of whether it would work, he decided to scatter the bait first.

To become a qualified hunter and Master of Time Management, you can't let any opportunity slip by.

He cleared his throat. "As you can see, this apartment building is very large, and I have a lot of extra work to do, so we need a lot of manpower."

"Hui and Nanami are both students, and they work here in their spare time."

"Eh~ I knew you two were very young, but I didn't expect you to still be enrolled. Is that alright?" Ouka Mai asked all three people at the same time, seemingly casually.

"Yes! Thanks to you, Young Master, I was able to pursue my dreams while balancing my studies and life. I am very grateful to Young Master!"

"Although I'm not very confident in my abilities, I'd be happy to do it if you don't mind, Young Master... and the hourly rate here is really high."

"It's alright, they're all excellent and completed the tasks I assigned smoothly. I think it was worth it."

Finally, Sakurakoji Talent responded nonchalantly.

"I see." Ouka Mai nodded, though it was unclear who she was responding to.

Chapter 266 These days, who isn't mixed-race?

"Um..." Kato Megumi held down the hem of the maid's skirt with one hand and raised the other.

Although she had been wearing it for two or three days, she still wasn't used to this kind of clothing, which was about the same length as her school skirt but much more embarrassing—it was almost frightening that she could get used to it so quickly.

"Miss Wangzhong is very beautiful, with well-defined and striking features, blonde hair, and a great figure... Could it be that you are of mixed race?"

She's probably the only one here who would be interested in this question and ask it.

Sakurakoji Talent knows the answer; Aoyama Nanami wouldn't ask such a rude question to a guest; Kasumigaoka Utaha feels more of a sense of crisis than curiosity; Eriri and Shiina Mashiro that rare?

It's like you're saying everyone's mixed-race!

"Yes, I am one-quarter France." Ouka Mai nodded frankly.

Her mother started a company in France because she was half France.

Sakurakoji Talent is hard to let go of. It's hard to imagine that Ouka Mai, with such an appearance and personality, has a mother who is a cold woman with a loli-like figure, blonde twin tails, and is not good at expressing her emotions.

You said she looks more like Eriri's mother.

"..."

Wait, he and his mother seem to be too? Even Sakurakoji Luna seems shorter than him—never mind then.

These two Queen -like, career-driven women are even more similar to each other than he and Ouka Mai, and they even operate in the same field... Could it be that, unbeknownst to him, they actually have a very good relationship?

"Ah~ I knew it!" Kato Megumi said with a "I guessed it" look, clapping her hands and then looking around the room.

"But looking at it this way, there are so many mixed-race children here, isn't the proportion a bit too high?"

"Indeed, with Sawamura-kun and Mashiro included, the number is almost half." Kasumigaoka Utaha, whose mood was already complicated, felt even more complicated now.

Three mixed-race young ladies, who are extremely rare to see outside, have suddenly appeared here. Is there some mistake here?

[Note: Mashiro's family is an artistic family and actually quite wealthy. She initially ran away from home without her parents' knowledge and stayed with her cousin, so she didn't stand out much.]

Is this Half-blood people?!

Or is it that these days, you can't even be a leading lady if you're not a mixed-race heiress?!

Recent works in the industry are also showing this trend, either silver-haired Japanese-Russian mixed-race characters or blonde-haired Japanese-American or Japanese-British mixed-race characters!

Have people grown tired of the traditional, quintessential "kingly" domestic character archetype?

Tsk! Instead of focusing on crafting exquisite stories and writing styles, writers and screenwriters waste their time on these frivolous pursuits! She wants to vehemently criticize this bizarre and decadent trend!

Black Long Straight Hair is the way to go! Bring back the classic, quintessential Black Long Straight Hair, Black Stockings- stockinged, big-breasted high Senpai /junkie look!

The industry has been ruined by people like you. jpg

"That's not right, Senpai Utaha," Sakurakoji Talent objected, "It's already more than halfway done, isn't it?"

"Huh?" XN

Everyone looked at him, some wondering if he was bad at math.

"Um, Young Master..." Aoyama Nanami tugged at his sleeve and whispered a reminder, "Three out of the seven are mixed-race, so it's not half yet."

The original four Shiina Mashiro and Kato Megumi, plus the three newcomers, now make up a total of seven people in the studio.

"So, who told you there are only three mixed-race people here?" Sakurakoji Talent tilted his head, looking at her with confusion.

"Huh? Who else?" Aoyama Nanami asked in surprise, then added, "It's not me!"

"And me." He made the Dragon Ball gesture of looking defeated, pointing to himself.

"My grandmother was Ireland, so I am one-quarter Ireland."

Hmph, these days, aren't mixed race and Ahoge) the standard? Surely no one doesn't have them?

"Eh? Eh eh eh eh--!" Aoyama Nanami stared wide-eyed in shock and exclaimed.

"That, that Miss Ashiri also..."

"Of course."

That's his own sister, of course.

Within the Okura Family, a significant proportion of their direct descendants are of mixed race, and those who are not of mixed race may actually be in the minority.

Okura Nikkin and his ex-wife had a total of 6 sons. The first three died in the war before the birth of the latter three, which is why he valued blood relatives and family members from then on.

The eldest of the three—his grandfather, Okura Masashi —Kaneko had Japan wife, Kaneko, but his concubine (his grandmother) was Ireland.

The second son was similar; his two wives' names were clearly Izayoi and Camelia —you could tell just by looking at their names. They gave birth to two cousins Okura Shunya and Okura Anthony, respectively.

In addition, there is a mistress Yamagata Clan, whose unacknowledged illegitimate son Yamagata Daiei, is also studying at Filia. He is currently a second-year student, Piano Department, just like Rumin.

As mentioned before, Okura Anthony and the supermodel's son Okura Anthony II, is also a first-year student at the Filia Beauty and Hairdressing Academy.

Ah~ His skills are really good. I heard that many celebrities in the America book appointments with him, and recently, he has been taking care of their hair.

Because we're Relatives, and his beautiful hair impressed him, it sparked his professional urge to get his hands dirty. So, it's free and no appointment needed! Hehehe~

The third son was killed by his enemies because of his own actions and the indifference of his two older brothers. His wife, a France named Sophie de Lindgren, took her infant daughter back to France and then jumped off a cliff to commit suicide.

Their only daughter, his cousin Meryl Linkie, or Okura Meryl, was not only an outstanding beauty, but also the most gifted person in the entire family besides him.

Just how amazing is she...? Let's put it this way: like him, she's a peerless genius who can simultaneously handle design, cutting, and sewing.

Moreover, her talent and ability in each area are top-tier. Her individual design skills alone would place her at the T0.5 level globally, even slightly stronger than Sakurakoji Luna and Okura Iyo —it's that outrageous.

Her pattern-making skills are a bit lacking, since she didn't have the opportunity to receive a good education growing up. But if she were to make it herself, she could complete the work entirely without patterns, relying solely on her feel for Draping.

She has also founded her own brand company... Looking at it this way, she definitely knows Ouka's mother. Tsk, what a small world.

[Note: She is truly Pure Talent Monster. She didn't even have a teacher for the basics of drawing; she just copied from magazines and honed her skills to the maximum level by mending and sewing clothes for the villagers. She barely attended school before high school.]

But what is most amazing is that despite her difficult life and hardships, she still maintains an Angel personality and a pure and gentle character.

If we were to draw an analogy, she possesses the purity and innocence of Okura Rumin Shiina Mahiru, the obedient, cute, hardworking, and gentle nature of Mahiru Shiina, and also the natural personality and exceptional talent of Shiina Mashiro. Furthermore, she is unassuming, has very low personal desires, and doesn't compete for anything...

She's Angel even more Angel than Shiina Mahiru!

In short, she belongs to the kind of person who is very rare.

Even though I grew up in a remote monastery (Orphanage) isolated from the world, many of my childhood friends were open-minded and Western, and I had heard a lot about erotic content from friends, so I had a basic understanding of sex.

But she manages to maintain that pure and innocent facade, upholding a remarkably strong sense of chastity and a correct sexual orientation—can you accept that?

Because of the Nun Mother's teachings, she was not only kind and selfless, but also had no sense of her own worth and very low material desires—her original thought was that the reward for hard work would be enough to cover three meals a day, and that it would be enough to occasionally "luxurize" buying an éclair.

She's more like the Reincarnated Saint of the Virgin Mary than Angel!

Her only stain was that she and her childhood sweetheart, the noblewoman Brienne Nicolet Plumcat, took marriage vows like adults in front of a convent when they were young (just kidding).

What's more troublesome is that, during their long-term relationship, the other person was captivated by her purity and loveliness, becoming truly in love with her unrequitedly, and is still harassing her and trying to seduce her...
