Chapter 287

"Ugh~ I already said no~ Talent Brother, you still..."

Shiina Mahiru puffed out her cheeks and curled up her delicate body, trying to stop him from seeing her any longer.

"How can it be considered punishment if it's not done this way? After all, Mahiru's resistance is so strong."

He caressed her skin affectionately.

Even so, it's still...

Shiina Mahiru muttered to herself, unable to let go of her grievances.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. As an apology, I'll grant you one more wish, okay?"

"A wish?"

Shiina Mahiru blinked her large eyes, which were no longer entirely clear.

"Okay, go ahead and say it!"

"That..."

After thinking for a long time, and taking even longer to muster her courage, she hesitantly said, "Next, I'll have Sister Asahi come and keep me company..."

"..."

Faced with Sakurakoji Talent's complex gaze, a mixture of silence, shock, doubt, and amusement, Shiina Mahiru shyly buried herself as much as possible in the blankets.

"No, that's not it! I... I just wanted to talk to Sister Asahi! To watch the sunrise together!"

A dull thud came from under the covers.

Sakurakoji Talent chuckled and approached her, whispering in her ear in Ogura Asahi's voice, "It's okay if you're not innocent..."

"!!!"

Several visible wisps of steam rose from the top of Shiina Mahiru.

Ya Lei, Ya Lei, there's just no way to deal with her.

He frowned and gave a helpless, bitter smile. He first went to the dressing room and changed into appropriate gear.

Back in the master bedroom, I walked to a secure cabinet, unlocked it, and took out a special collection inside—a basket of small props I had prepared after meeting Hoshino Ai last time.

What would happen if Aoyama Nanami saw these things...?

Having done all this, he returned to his original position and said to Shiina Mahiru, who was still in the same pose, "That's enough, Mahiru. It's Sister Asahi ~"

Upon hearing the sound, Shiina Mahiru's body trembled slightly. She then slowly rose to her feet, her profile, more beautiful than the most delicate flower in the world, secretly glancing in their direction.

Upon seeing Ogura Asahi, she was initially shyly happy, then awkwardly touched her head.

When her gaze fell upon a small basket of things beside her, her delicate body suddenly stiffened...

"Sister Asahi, these are..."

"Hmm? Didn't you ask for this yourself, Mahiru? We can't just use the same method as before, can we?"

"I... I didn't ask that! I just...!"

"Well, it's too late to say all this now. Just consider it an experience. Don't worry, this is my first time using it too, I don't have much experience."

I can't put my mind at ease at all!!!

"Then I'll begin!"

"No, no! Oh dear! Sister Asahi! I really have no strength left..."

"As a good and responsible younger sister, I think it's your responsibility to fulfill Onee-chan's request~"

"But I just finished Onii-chan's mission... it's really..."

"Then be more careful next time."

"Waaaaah~ Why did this happen~ Yadayo~!"

"..."

Before dawn, Ogura Asahi looked at Shiina Mahiru, who was already exhausted and had fallen into a deep sleep after playing with Ogura Asahi for a short time, and smiled.

Now the child knows that some wishes shouldn't be made carelessly, right?

Speaking of which, her sleeping face is so cute, just like Ashiri when she was little, pure and innocent.

But after today, will she be able to maintain the same appearance as before...? It's hard to say.

He glanced at the time, ignored her pitiful expression, and pinched her jelly-like sleeping face, disturbing her peaceful slumber.

"Time to get up, Mahiru!"

"Waaah... no, don't do this, Sister Asahi... let me sleep a little longer, I'm so tired..."

"Didn't you say you wanted to watch the sunrise with me on the rooftop? Aren't you going to watch it anymore?"

"Waaah~ Hmm hmm hmm~ Waaah~"

Accompanied by a sound like a baby crying, Shiina Mahiru was pulled up by him. The two of them, wrapped in blankets, sat in front of the French windows in the living room, waiting for dawn to break.

Sakurakoji Talent is undeniable; aside from those office workers sitting in high-rise financial buildings, working through the night, he is definitely the first person in Tokyo to see the sunrise today.

After all, the higher you stand, the farther you can see.

"The sun is rising, Mahiru, look!"

"Hmm... beautiful~"

Shiina Mahiru nestled her little head on his shoulder, gazing sleepily at the rising sun.

"The view from the upper floors is so beautiful, it's like being on a mountain. I wish I could see it more often in the future."

"I'll definitely keep watching until I'm fed up with your 'billion-dollar curse'."

"It's a promise~"

"Yes, it's a deal."

Their little fingers were tightly hooked together, with such force that it hurt him a little.

However, this kind of pain is surprisingly comfortable.

He didn't pick her up until the sun was high in the sky, when she had fallen asleep again, and carried her back to the bedroom.

Chapter 325 The Second Miss's Special Request

Early morning.

After leaving a Sticky Note saying he had arranged for her to be excused from school that day, he ate a much more lavish breakfast than usual and went to class at Hanasakigawa as usual, chatting with his classmates.

After working so hard without sleep for so long, he still managed to come to school under pressure to continue his social career—he's practically a superman!

However, I applied several layers of concealer today to cover up my dark circles.

In the classroom in the morning.

"Little Asahi's complexion looks a little strange today."

What's strange about it?

"Hmm, I can't quite put my finger on it, it just feels different from usual... Should I say it's better or worse...?"

"Oh, I see. Maybe you didn't sleep well last night."

"You stayed up late? Your health isn't good, you need to take better care of yourself! Why don't you skip class and go home today?"

"I never imagined I'd be the one being advised to skip class..."

At noon, he continued to have lunch with Toyama Kasumi and the others.

Wow~ Little Asahi's lunch is so delicious today!

"Instead of saying it's plentiful... isn't there too much meat today? Where is the usual aesthetic balance of meat and vegetables?"

Ichigaya Arisa was surprised.

"Well, I suddenly have a craving for meat today, probably because I'm lacking protein!"

"Hey? Are you feeling unwell? If so, you should probably leave early later."

"You're the second person to say that to me today, Misaki- senpai... Don't worry, everyone, I'm perfectly healthy when I'm not having an attack. You might even beat me in the physical fitness test."

"Kokoro is paramount."

"Then let's eat less of Little Asahi's food today!"

"You eat your own food, eat your own food!"

Occasionally, Ogura Asahi's gaze fell upon a bulging, strip-shaped piece of rice in the lunchbox, and he fell into deep thought. On the snow-white, flat, expensive pearl rice grain, a strip-shaped protrusion was unusually conspicuous.

Are progress bars really that common?

I didn't notice it the first time, but why is it so obvious the last two times?

Was it because the rice there was too big, too much, and too puffy, or because the rice around it was too thin and too small?

Both are possible...

Well, it's really cute and fun.

"That's really good..." A sinister smile crept across his lips.

"Wow... what's with that smile? Are you thinking of some naughty idea?"

Ichigaya Arisa looked at him with a subtle expression.

"I never imagined that the Angel Little Asahi would have a dark side!"

"The world is truly terrifying..."

"..."

In the afternoon... he arrived in Chiba.

Although his actions are somewhat erratic, with wide-ranging and unpredictable shifts, this is simply his daily routine.

In short, he was called by the Second Miss.

Tsk tsk, I never thought I'd see Yukino Shita Yukino using her connections. As for the reason...

"Oh, good afternoon, Teacher Shizuka."

Standing at the school gate, he greeted Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had come to pick him up.

He didn't have the uniform of Soubu High School, so to avoid being mistaken for a suspicious person, he asked Hiratsuka Shizuka in advance when she was free from class, and came right on time so she could come out to pick him up.

"Why are you here again? And you always choose to come during class time."

Hiratsuka Shizuka cradled her breasts, gazing at him helplessly.

"You'll have to ask your dear student; she's the one who called me here."

Sakurakoji Talent stepped forward and walked alongside her.

"Please take me to the Service Club classroom first. You have the key, right?"

"Oh, or you could take me to the staff room and brag to everyone that I'm your boyfriend. I'll be good at pretending."

"Really?! Is it really possible?!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka grabbed his arm with shining eyes.

"Sure, I'm not a student at your school anyway, so they probably won't be able to tell, right?"

Perhaps it was the word "student" that slightly stung her heart, and Hiratsuka Shizuka struggled to give up.

"... Never mind, Yukino Shita and the others already know your identity. If they find out, they'll only laugh at me even more."

"That's such a pity. I was planning to ask Teacher Shizuka for payment."

"Yes, that's a real shame... What are you planning to do?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka cast a wary glance at her.

"It's nothing,"

He whispered on her shoulder, "I just want Teacher Shizuka to kiss me and treat me to dinner, it's that simple, right?"

"... I think you've been living too comfortably lately, not getting disciplined by anyone, and you're getting a little itchy, aren't you, Sakurakoji?"
