Chapter 314

"Yes, yes~ Just treat us the way you treat Talent and Ashiri!"

Sakurakoji Luna stopped smiling and nodded repeatedly with a slightly serious expression.

"Hi, hi!"

Shiina Mahiru's cheeks were flushed, and she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had just finished bungee jumping.

After introducing one person, Sakurakoji Talent then put his arm around Hoshino Ai's shoulder and pulled her in front of him. "This is Hoshino Ai, my lover."

"Huh?"

X 2.

Click!

The atmosphere, which had just been somewhat gentle, instantly changed, as if a camera shutter had been pressed, freezing in place.

Okura Yusei and Sakurakoji Luna stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the two, wondering if they had misheard.

"Talent, Talent, what did you just say?"

Sakurakoji Luna spoke tremulously.

"My lover?"

He tilted his head and repeated the sentence.

"Oh, is that so? He's your lover. I see..."

She seemed to accept it, crossing her arms and nodding. A few seconds later, she exclaimed, "That's not right! You silly child! Ah~!"

Her body trembled uncontrollably, and her usually calm mind now swayed back and forth like a hamster.

"What, why so suddenly! You didn't even mention it to us!"

Okura Yusei covered his face with his Hands, bent over and squatted down, feeling somewhat dizzy from the shock of the news.

"I've already told you!"

He gazed at the scene with satisfaction.

This is it! This is exactly what he wanted to see!

He gently patted Hoshino Ai's slender waist with his hand behind her back, signaling that she could begin.

"Um, nice to meet you, Uncle and Aunt, I'm Hoshino Ai!"

With a stiff and solemn expression, she imitated Shiina Mahiru's movements and bowed 90 degrees to the two of them, saying, "Although I know I am not worthy of your son, I will try my best!"

"No, um, get up, you don't need to be so reserved..."

Despite her mixed feelings, Sakurakoji Luna forced herself to help her up.

"Well, since it's a choice based on Talent, we won't interfere... We look forward to your guidance in the future, Miss Ai."

She spoke slowly to Hoshino Ai in a voice that anyone could tell how much she was suffering, forcing herself to remain calm and composed as usual.

"I'm the same age as you (3) Linba 2~ Please guide me in the future..."

Okura Yusei lowered his androgynous, slightly handsome eyebrows and trembled as he spoke, as if in pain.

"Okay! Thank you so much!"

Hoshino Ai was so moved that she covered her mouth and nose, her voice trembling with tears.

Lovers and family are different. No matter how close the relationship is, it doesn't mean that the other person's family will accept you in the same way.

Especially for a top-tier family like the Sakurakoji Talent family, even an ordinary wealthy family would easily be looked down upon, let alone someone with her complicated background.

The fact that she wasn't directly rejected was enough to make her very happy.

"I already said san4? Zero qier 'You're dead, there's no need to worry.'"

He put his arm around her small, delicate shoulders and whispered a smile in her ear.

"Um..."

Only then did Hoshino Ai feel slightly relieved.

Previously, even if he spoke with great certainty, she was still hesitant to fully believe him.

Even knowing that Ashiri was such a gentle, lovely, kind, and generous person, she dared not harbor any seemingly unrealistic hopes.

On the contrary, the more dazzling and warm the other person's and Sakurakoji Talent, the more inferior and fearful she became, afraid that the moment they met... all of this would come to an end.

Chapter 344 Who is Himemiya Chihaya?

"Alright, let's talk about the rest when we get back. Shall we head out now?"

He glanced at the two souls drifting in the sky, and, in place of the temporarily deprived parents, gave the next instructions.

"Sister Asahi..."

"Huh?!"

X 2.

The couple, whose brains had been half-paralyzed, felt their hair stand on end and cold sweat pour down their faces when they heard that all-too-familiar name. They looked up in horror and stared at Shiina Mahiru's frail little body.

"I'm so sorry! I misspoke!"

Under their gazes, Shiina Mahiru blushed like a startled rabbit, clutching Sakurakoji Talent's sleeve tightly, and stammered, "What I wanted to say was, Talent Brother..."

"Ah, ah--I see..."

"I'm sorry, Mahiru-chan, we overreacted and scared you?"

Although they didn't know what kind of slip of the tongue it was that led to calling "Talent Brother" "Sister Asahi," the two of them didn't want to dwell on it too much at the moment and just wanted to move on quickly.

But someone clearly doesn't think that way.

"Oh my, oh my~ Mother, Father!"

With a knowing, playful smile, he emphasized the words, then raised an eyebrow and began to speak in a sarcastic tone:

"Mahiru only mispronounced a name, why are you two reacting so strongly?"

"I know that Miss Asahi was once Mother's most trusted maid, but 'Father'... why are you reacting so strongly?"

[Note: As mentioned before, Chaoyang and Chaori have the same pronunciation]

The couple's fair and beautiful faces were now incredibly rosy, and even their earlobes were tinged with an unusual cherry blossom color.

Especially Sakurakoji Luna, because of the nature of her skin, even a slight surge of blood in her body can cause noticeable changes, which is one of the reasons why she has always maintained a cool and aloof personality.

"No, nothing strange. You're just jealous, aren't you, darling?"

She spoke first to smooth things over for her husband, closing her eyes and explaining casually, "After all, Asahi and I are so close that it wouldn't be surprising if we were lovers!"

"Yes, yes! That's it, that's it!"

Okura Yusei readily agreed, his voice trembling and floating.

"Hey~ Is that so?"

Yashiro Ichiyo, standing to the side, watched this scene. Although she felt it wasn't good for her master, she still took a step back, her body trembling as she suppressed a laugh.

"No, let's not talk about this! Let's go back!"

The two supported each other as they turned and strode outside.

"That's true! I also want to see how the Sakura trees in the courtyard have grown! Let's go!"

Watching the two figures flee in disarray, a satisfied smile once again flashed in Sakurakoji Talent's eyes.

He'd known about this since he was a child, but why didn't he confront them directly—just so he could repeatedly watch their embarrassed expressions?

There aren't many materials that can be reused repeatedly and are also extremely powerful.

"Um, Talent Brother ~ Did I do something wrong?"

Although she couldn't understand the situation, Shiina Mahiru intuitively felt that something was off about the atmosphere.

"No, it's just that there might be some misunderstanding that we're unaware of."

He gently patted her head and smiled in denial.

"Yes, although I don't quite understand it either, I think Father and Mother aren't angry."

Ashiri also comforted her.

That would be wonderful.

Shiina Mahiru patted her chest.

"Alright, let's catch up with them, or those two will get lost."

Watching the two figures, he said to Yashima, "You Ichiyo Ashiri take care of them; I'll handle the other two."

"Is everything alright... Young Master?"

Knowing what method he was referring to, Yashiro Ichiyo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his facial muscles twitching, and asked anxiously.

"It's okay, it's okay~ Trust in my abilities!"

Without lingering, they caught up with their parents, took the small amount of luggage from them, and headed towards the Parking Lot.

To pick them up, they naturally couldn't just bring one car. Besides the one driven by Yashima, their other vehicle was the Maserati he had recently bought.

What Yashima was worried about was his driving skills, which he had just obtained through special means...

Theoretically, as a follower, she should have strictly stopped her master's unreliable behavior, but she couldn't help but believe in his abilities... so she was quite conflicted.

After watching the other four people get into their car and leave, he led his parents to his parking space.

At this moment, the two who had left the "son's lover and goddaughter's power field" and chosen to temporarily forget the "past memories" also came to their senses.

Looking at Sakurakoji Talent, who was sitting in the driver's seat as if it were perfectly normal, Okura Yusei exclaimed in horror, "Talent! What are you doing? You're not even an adult yet, this is too dangerous!"

"Hey? You don't mean you're planning to drive us back yourself?"

Sakurakoji Luna's crimson eyes, sharing the same origin as his, once again revealed their full form. "Ichiyo actually allowed this kind of thing?"

Without much explanation, Sakurakoji Talent simply took an ID card from the small cabinet next to him and handed it to them.

"At least my skills have been acknowledged by my uncle."

The two leaned closer, opened the document, and saw that the photo on it was none other than himself.

However, in terms of age, he is already 18 years old.

The name on the list of names was not the familiar Sakurakoji Talent, but another unfamiliar and more feminine and noble name: Himemiya Chihaya.

"..."

"..."

The two exchanged a glance, and in the blink of an eye, Sakurakoji Luna spoke, "Forged documents?"

"It should be."

Okura Yusei nodded in agreement.

"No, but let's say it's true for now."

He puffed out his cheeks and forcefully pulled the document back from the other man's hand.

"I asked my uncle to do this, and he also tested my driving skills, so don't worry!"

After hearing his explanation, the two felt somewhat relieved. Although they didn't really encourage this kind of behavior, since it was his request, neither Iyo nor they could easily refuse.

Whether it's affection, guilt, pride, or complacency, the fact remains that Sakurakoji Talent suffered from physical hardship from a young age and possessed extraordinary talent, certainly gave him a special place in the family's discourse.

As long as he's happy, everyone will let him live as recklessly as he pleases for the rest of his life.

"Well, it shouldn't matter, as long as the technique is up to par."

"That's true."

Both of them decided to turn a blind eye to it.

The two only spoke again after the black car drove out of the Parking Lot.

"Speaking of which, son,"

After receiving his response, Sakurakoji Luna continued to frown and ask, "What exactly is this method you mentioned for healing the body? Is it reliable?"

"Really!"
