Chapter 265

What did those words mean? Could it be that all of Sister Asahi's feelings for me all this time were just...? She didn't want to think any further, and her soft, delicate body froze on the spot.

In this warm spring day, her body gradually grew cold.

Chapter 310 Different methods should be used for different people.

"Then I'll go back to my room first Ashiri. You guys go to the dining room first, she's all yours."

"Okay, Yueyi Yilin $yi+Qisi (five;)jiusijiu?? b? a?, I understand."

Sakurakoji Ashiri smiled brightly, understanding his determination.

As I passed by Okura Rumin, her cool words reached my ears. "A wise judgment."

He paused, knowing she had done nothing wrong this time, but he was still furious!

He puffed out his cheeks and glared at her, then, driven by his emotions, he took advantage of her momentary lapse in attention and slapped her bottom hard with his palm.

Snap!

After finishing the move, he was a little dazed, staring at his left hand that had made the move, lost in thought.

This feels amazing! It's almost addictive...

It has just the right amount of elasticity, without bouncing back and hurting the other person. It's soft and delicate, and it's hard to tell whether it's the feel of fabric or skin. The undulating texture is like ripples on the surface of water... No, I can't think about it anymore.

He quickened his pace and hurried towards his room.

If he stays any longer, he'll be killed!

Behind them, the blushing and furious expression on Okura Rumin's face, and the stunned expressions of Sakurakoji Ashiri, were so vividly captured that even through a photograph, one could feel the lifelike energy of the scene.

"... Let's go to the restaurant first, Mahiru, please follow me!"

The somewhat eerie atmosphere at the scene prompted the perceptive Ashiri to decide to move the battlefield.

Oh, brother, how could you do such a thing to Rumin- nee here!

Huh? Isn't this place enough? (Yi Lingyi 4 (9q) 49ba?)

So, how far have things progressed between them? Are they sure they're going to get married? Isn't it a bit too fast?

That's not right either, considering that Rumin has always...

Thinking about these gossips among her relatives, she led Shiina Mahiru to the restaurant.

"Um, Ashiri, what exactly did Sister Asahi mean when she said she lied to me...?"

Finally, unable to resist, Shiina Mahiru.

He had intended to tell her she would find out soon, but looking at her helpless and bewildered expression, Ashiri couldn't bear to leave her alone.

"Please sit down."

She personally pulled out a chair for her and helped her sit down, then sat down next to her herself.

After a few seconds of thought, she composed herself and said seriously, "First, let me ask you a question, Mahiru. Do you know what my surname is?"

Shiina Mahiru was puzzled. "Eh... isn't that Ogura?"

Because Ogura Asahi said they were full sisters, she subconsciously assumed that she should also have that surname.

"I knew that's what they thought..."

Ashiri's eyebrows were lowered.

She also noticed that her brother deliberately omitted his surname when introducing her.

"W-What's wrong?"

Shiina Mahiru's heart skipped a beat; she sensed something was wrong.

"Well, it's very rude of me, but may I ask one more question?"

"Please go ahead..."

"Mahiru, what are your thoughts on Sister Asahi?"

After a moment of contemplation, Shiina Mahiru looked up and answered, "Sister Asahi is the most important person to me!"

"He helped me a lot, was gentler to me than anyone else, and was the first person who was willing to love me and treat me like family!"

"I hope to be with her forever, and I want to stay by her side in the future, to become someone who can help her!"

Okura Rumin glanced sideways and rolled her eyes. What on earth did that guy do to her?

Suddenly, a sense of crisis welled up in her heart. This sister, who valued him so much and was not related to him by blood, what would happen if she found out his true gender...?

Division!!!

That awful, unruly younger brother! How many people does he need to like before he's satisfied?!

"This, this is what Lu Yinyin said, 28 (4) 8#"

Sakurakoji Ashiri also felt a bit tricky, completely unable to predict what was about to happen. "What, what if 'she' lies to you, like about her surname or something..."

She tried to express herself tactfully.

"Surname?"

Despite her confusion, Shiina Mahiru hesitated before answering, "As long as Sister Asahi doesn't actually dislike me and is just pretending to like me... I think I'll forgive her."

"I see..."

Sakurakoji Ashiri felt a little relieved and pointed to herself, "Let me reintroduce myself. My full name is Sakurakoji Ashiri."

"Hmm? Ashiri, you and Sister Asahi have different surnames?"

Shiina Mahiru tilted her head, then quickly realized and slapped her hand, "Ah! It's because one is with the father and the other with the mother, right!"

"... No, we all take Mother's surname."

"Um?"

"So, my dear sister, no, my brother's real surname isn't Ogura, but Sakurakoji."

Ashiri nervously swallowed. "My real name isn't Asahi), it's Talent)..."

"Sakurakoji, Talent ... no, wait, brother, sir?"

Shiina Mahiru was bewildered and unable to recover from the chaotic flow of information for a while.

Rather, the idea that her older sister was actually her older brother was simply impossible for her to form in her mind.

After a while, before the next person began to speak.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I'm back."

A neutral voice, completely different from Ogura Asahi's, came from the entrance of the hall and echoed in the now quiet place.

"Hi, you've come at the perfect time, elder brother."

"Um?"

Shiina Mahiru looked in the direction of the sound, and then—her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

A woman, about ten centimeters taller than her older sister, with a simple ponytail, possessing the same unparalleled beauty and long silver-white hair, and even the same ruby eye color... suddenly appeared there.

There were no prominent female features, and the lines on his body seemed a bit hardcore... The title "Ashiri" and common sense told her that this should be a man.

But who is that face that looks exactly like her sister's...? Could it be that her Sister Asahi, has a twin brother?

"Oh my gosh~ Don't you recognize me anymore, Mahiru ~"

Sakurakoji Talent walked up to her, lifted her smooth, delicate chin, and added in a familiar tone:

"If that happens, I'll be very sad."

"Huh?! It's Sister Asahi's voice?!"

Shiina Mahiru snapped out of her daze, her small body pressed against the back of the chair, staring at him in disbelief and shock.

Well, that's roughly how it is.

He withdrew his fingers, his eyebrows arched apologetically, and he clasped his hands together, bowing his head. "I'm sorry! Mahiru!"

"Actually, I wanted to tell you before, but I just hadn't found the right time."

"Because that's how I acted when we first met, it caused you to misunderstand... I'm so sorry!"

Shiina Mahiru stared blankly at him, her eyes unfocused, still reeling from the devastating news.

Okura Rumin to the side, was laughing so hard she couldn't suppress her voice and body movements, hugging her ample breasts and trembling on the spot.

This is it, this is what she wanted to see!

A full minute or two later.

"Why?"

Shiina Mahiru gradually understood what had happened, and her eyes gradually focused again. "Eh, eh eh yin⊙seven o o si qi si wu (six) T? eh eh eh eh eh eh eh??!!!!"

Normally Kokoro and demure, she unleashed a sound more deafening than the highest note of Flute!

Sakurakoji Talent, who was directly exposed to all the sound waves, frowned slightly, feeling a bit annoyed. At the same time, she was worried about Sakurakoji's throat. She thought she should find some throat lozenges for her later.

The lunch, with its extremely tense atmosphere and everyone's varying moods, ended hastily.

No one was in the mood to savor the delicious dishes he rarely cooked himself.

Even when he brought up a topic and served food to Shiina Mahiru, he only received a complex response that was hard to describe as either fear or shyness.

After dinner, Sakurakoji Talent was kicked out of the mansion by Okura Rumin and Sakurakoji Ashiri, because Shiina Mahiru felt annoyed by him now.

During his recovery period, he is forbidden from meeting with Shiina Mahiru without permission.

Damn it, I was actually kicked out of my own home. Walking along the broad road of Omotesando, he muttered to himself with a pout.

He casually subdued the blond thug who had misunderstood his gender and tried to take advantage of him in broad daylight, dislocated his bones, and threw him into the green belt before continuing his digestive journey.

After indulging in a revenge shopping spree at numerous world-class luxury stores, spending enough to buy a sports car, he carried his bags to the roadside and hailed a taxi back to his apartment, which was less than a kilometer away.

Hmm, I don't feel anything. The worry and frustration in my heart are still lingering and hard to dispel.

Miss Kairin's method didn't work; it seems this varies from person to person.

Or should he increase the amount accordingly, spending enough to make his heart ache?

But even if I bought several luxury stores here, it wouldn't be of much use to me...

Ah, but... he thought of a potentially useful method, his eyes lowered and a wicked smirk playing on his lips.

After returning to the apartment.

After putting some things in his room and chatting briefly with Aoyama Nanami was cleaning and practicing there, he carried the remaining bags downstairs to another floor.

Without knocking, he used the master key to open the door and barged in amidst the astonished voices and gazes of the person inside.

"Ai-chan ~ Look what I bought for you?"

He held up what he was holding and spoke to Hoshino Ai, who was lazily lying on the bed watching TV.

"Huh? What? By the way, Talent, how did you get in here?!"

She puffed out her cheeks in displeasure, "Really, you scared me to death! I thought it was a bad guy!"

"I have the master key to this apartment building, so don't worry, the security here is very tight."

He glanced at the clean lunchbox on the table and nodded in satisfaction.

I put the items aside, placed several luxury shopping bags on top, and took out the contents of each one one by one.

"What's this?"

Hoshino Ai climbed out of bed and curiously approached.

"These are clothes I bought for you, and this is the number one most popular phone among girls lately!"

He handed her a square box, gesturing for her to open it.

I only realized this morning when I answered the phone that her phone model was really too old, and the girl was reluctant to replace it.

I happened to be shopping, so I just bought one.

"Hey, no need! My old phone works perfectly fine, this one must be expensive!"
