Chapter 218

Night,

Lying on the fragrant, soft, and comfortable bed, Ogura Asahi was pondering another important matter, which was also another reason why he had agreed to stay the night.

First of all, it needs to be clarified that he is not alone now. To reiterate, he is not alone.

Less than twenty centimeters away from him, Shiina Mahiru lay peacefully on her back, breathing steadily, and the mixed scent of various Aromatherapy emanating from her body could be easily smelled by him.

That's right, Shiina Mahiru once again tugged at his clothes and begged him to sleep with her, but this time, he didn't resist at all.

The reason why is this? It's because it aligns with his tactics.

Let me ask you a question first: If a patient who has suffered greatly from his illness were to one day discover a way to easily cure it, what do you think he would do?

Indeed, for those struggling to survive, they will not give up even the slightest hope, let alone a method with definite positive feedback.

He had once read a book in which the protagonist also suffered from an incurable disease from birth—of course, not as painful as him, but also destined to die at the appointed time.

Fortunately, after twenty years of relentless searching by him and his family, they finally found the only person who could cure him—another woman with the opposite symptoms.

The cure for them is self-evident, right?

During their heartfelt conversation, they mentioned that they had long been mentally prepared for the prolonged torment.

As long as they can be freed from prolonged torment and continue living, they will not hesitate to dedicate themselves to their partner, even if that partner is a slovenly, ugly, and unsightly person.

Even if this method is just a legend, and its authenticity is unknown, it's still the same.

No matter how small the hope, you'll never be satisfied without trying it yourself.

Patients who have been bedridden for a long time are no longer ordinary people; their hearts and minds have long been tormented and distorted by the daily pain and fear.

All he was trying to say was that he felt the same way. He had also fantasized that if one day he were to find a way to cure himself, he wouldn't hesitate at all.

Even if it meant drowning his proud, holy, and unparalleled brilliance in the most filthy and defiled pond, he would not hesitate.

Offering one's virginity to a partner with uncertain circumstances is utterly insignificant.

Of course, normal stories always have happy endings. Fortunately, the male and female Female Protagonist were both handsome and beautiful, with at least good looks, and their personalities and character were also upright.

--Speaking of which, don't you think this story is a bit similar to his?

Although some details are different, and his requirements for the number of potential partners are indeed a bit higher... at least, he wasn't required to offer himself up, right?

However, even without being required to, who could resist taking the shortcut once they know it?

Instead of spending unknown time building relationships with hundreds of people and pursuing an unknown outcome, this approach seems much more worthwhile, doesn't it?

If he didn't know that ordinary people are useless, he would want to go to a nightclub right now, order a dozen or twenty sexy women at once, kiss them all, go home, and enjoy his carefree and wealthy life from then on.

Unfortunately, none of his people were up to par, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to control his animalistic instincts during the day and would have gone to reward that Yōkadō Sakuri for kissing him!

So, even if it's a bit immoral, he's going to steal his god-sister's first kiss today!

If my guess is correct, with Shiina Mahiru joining tonight, I can unlock another 5%, reaching a progress of 30%!

Not only can the pain be greatly reduced, but the frequency of subsequent epileptic seizures will also be greatly reduced.

From now on, there will be no more worries about my life!

Who could possibly resist such a slap!

Mahiru, don't blame your older sister for being inhuman, it's just that the result was too tempting, and your older sister simply couldn't resist.

It's alright, as long as I don't say anything later, your first kiss will remain, just like mine was before—you wretched Hoshino Ai, you just wait!

And Ouka Mai too, you ungrateful, lustful, selfish bastards, have you forgotten how I helped you?

Once he has some free time, he'll make you pay!

In the darkness, time ticked by, and although he didn't keep track of the exact moments, about half an hour had passed.

Shiina Mahiru's breathing had already stabilized, but just to be on the safe side, he decided to wait another half hour before making a move, and not to use his mouth!

He has always been very patient with everything.

However, no matter how much he planned, he never expected...

"Sister Asahi, are you asleep?"

The thought had barely left his mind when a deliberately suppressed, faint sound hummed in the darkness.

"..."

No, why aren't you asleep yet?!

Ogura Asahi's breathing became erratic for a second, but he quickly corrected himself, closing his eyes and pretending not to hear as he continued to feign sleep.

"Sister Asahi?" Shiina Mahiru asked softly again.

After receiving no response two or three times, she tiptoed back under the covers on her side and slowly got up.

Kokoro tuck your hair behind your back and move your upper body.

Through the ineffable aura of the darkness, he could vaguely sense that she had come above him.

He didn't hear Shiina Mahiru speak again, but the breathing above seemed to become more rapid, and the faint heat seemed to intensify.

As time passed, the warm, humid air seemed to touch his face... humid air?!

He used all his strength to suppress the urge to open his eyes and leap up. But where Shiina Mahiru couldn't see, his Hands still suddenly flexed and extended.

Two seconds later, a familiar sensation, one he had just experienced that morning, enveloped the corners of his mouth.

"..."

The small, soft, and warm sensation instantly shut down his brain, causing tinnitus.

After a while, their skin separated, then pressed together intimately again after a short interval, repeating this cycle several times before finally ending.

"It's alright, Sister Asahi! I've covered up that girl's mark for you!" Shiina Mahiru said softly, blushing as she looked at her sleeping sister beneath her.

"Ahhh!"

Soft screams and shouts, accompanied by the rolling of the bedding and the shaking of the bed, which initially traveled clearly through the air, became a muffled buzzing sound.

"..." Only after noticing that she had hidden under the covers did Ogura Asahi dare to open her eyes, staring blankly at the vaguely visible, unfamiliar ceiling.

Thank you so much! You're so considerate of me!

Damn it! I got kissed again!

Why do you young girls all like this?!

Feeling the tangible changes occurring within his body, he couldn't feel happy at all. Although the result was correct, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this...

He shouldn't be a passive recipient, but rather the one who takes the initiative.

Besides, no matter what, he's now Ogura Asahi, not Sakurakoji Talent! Hoshino Ai is one thing, but why is Shiina Mahiru also...?

As for Ashiri, was his own sister destined to be unable to escape this curse?

He stared sadly at the ceiling, worried about his sisters' Mirai.

I'm having trouble falling asleep again tonight.

Chapter 273 The Meeting of Two Asahi

The next day,

Ogura Asahi acted as if nothing had happened, calmly getting up, calmly making breakfast, calmly eating breakfast, and calmly taking Shiina Mahiru to school...

In stark contrast to him was Shiina Mahiru, whose face betrayed her inner turmoil, constantly blushing, fidgeting, and occasionally glancing at him erratically...

"Indeed, "Ogura Asahi sighed softly, her crimson eyes cold.

I've been pretending nothing happened, and you're still so flustered. Doesn't that tell me you actually did something?

This child may have a fatal weakness when it comes to lying and concealing information.

"What's wrong?" It wouldn't be normal for him not to ask, given her obvious surprise, even from the maid beside her.

"N-nothing!" Shiina Mahiru exclaimed in surprise, shoving the sandwich in her hand into her mouth and weakly saying, "The sandwiches made by Sister Asahi are just so delicious."

Miss Tachikawa next to her, nodded repeatedly, her face showing complete agreement.

"Really? Eat more if you like it, and finish your milk too. I've prepared your lunchbox for you, don't forget to take it later."

"Good..."

A warm feeling welled up inside Shiina Mahiru's tender heart. Is this what true family feels like? She felt so happy.

But I did that to the sleeping Sister Asahi... I'm such a bad child, she thought, and then she felt guilty again.

No, but if it's not her first kiss, it should be okay, right? Besides, it's actually her first kiss...

I've heard that close female friends kiss each other to express their affection, yes! That's right! So it's okay!

Looking at her silly expression, Ogura Asahi covered his forehead and sighed.

Suan Niao Suan Niao, since she helped me solve a big problem, I won't spank her little bottom.

That said, he's been thinking about this problem from the ground up since yesterday.

That is: if kissing can add so much progress at once, then if we actually do it, will it also...? It's really making me hesitate and feel melancholy.

Although he had long been prepared to gamble everything, he still hesitated when the time came.

Besides, even without paying so much, there's still hope for a complete cure. Even if we were to actually do it, choosing the right person is a problem; it's not as simple as a kiss, considering the future of our relationship...

Forget it! I don't want to think about it anymore!

When the time came, the two of them got into his car, watched by the maid.

Since he was going back to Tokyo anyway, he figured he should give her a ride home.

"I can manage on my own, I'm used to it..." Shiina Mahiru said with a slight hint of sulking.

Perhaps worried about attracting attention, she didn't really want Ogura Asahi to pick her up or drop her off.

"Ah, but I want to spend more time with Sister Asahi. If only she could walk me home—oh no, am I being too willful?" Halfway through her sentence, she became depressed because of her troublesome personality.

Ogura Asahi couldn't help but chuckle and then patted her hair helplessly, "You're my little sister, and you'll be attracting attention in the future. How can you not be used to it now?"

"But, they're clearly very close..."

As she said, the house and school are close by, although not as exaggerated as the five-minute walk from the Ten no Yashiro to Filia, it can still be reached in twenty minutes on foot.

Compared to the commuting time of students in other island nations, which often exceeds half an hour, this is considered short.

Although he wanted to buy closer, there weren't any houses within that area that met his expectations.

"Alright, alright~ It's rare for me to give you a gift, so just let me be a little indulgent this once."

He smiled and comforted the spoiled Shiina Mahiru; as a parent, this feeling was strangely novel.

Ashiri very sensible and usually doesn't show this kind of reaction—unless he's using the identity of Ogura Asahi.

Actually, Shiina Mahiru doesn't usually act like this, but perhaps she wanted to enjoy the feeling of being affectionate today, which is why she appeared unusually weak and self-centered.

Given this, he certainly couldn't refuse.

Because they were so close, the vehicle reached its destination in the short time it took them to talk.

He picked up the lunchbox he had prepared for her, and after getting off the bus with her, he handed it to her and straightened her clothes as she blushed.

In just a short while, they had attracted the attention of all the students around them.

The whispers around her—"Angel!" "Angel and her sister!" "Is that the legendary Angel?"...—faintly reached Shiina Mahiru's ears, making her feel both proud and even more shy.

Ogura Asahi didn't say anything, only giving a "wicked" smile to those around him.

A few small screams erupted from the surrounding area, and some students, forgetting to watch where they were going, comically bumped into telephone poles...

"Then I'll head back now. See you in a few days."

"Okay, goodbye, Sister Asahi!"

Shiina Mahiru responded cheerfully and brightly. Although she lacked the aloofness and sternness of Ogura Asahi, she was still so cute that the boys and girls around her were stunned.

After watching her walk into the school gate and be surrounded by several students who appeared to be her classmates, he turned and got into his car.

He had been considering whether to give the students a hard time at the school gate, so that they would spread his bad reputation and dare not provoke Shiina Mahiru in the future, but he decided against it after thinking about it.

That would affect her normal studies and life, and might even have other negative impacts. Let's trust her for now.
