Chapter 315

Okura Yusei chimed in, "They only said they had a way, but what exactly is it...?"

"I thought you'd ask about Mahiru and Ai first, so this question is a little touching! Wait a minute! Let me wipe my tears!"

He pulled out a tissue as white as the back of his hand and gently wiped away the tears streaming down his nose.

"Of course we care about that too, and if possible, we would appreciate it if you could explain in detail... especially why we weren't notified in advance!"

Accustomed to his playful and mischievous behavior, Sakurakoji Luna stared at his profile with worry and helplessness.

Okura Yusei chimed in, "But compared to your matter, it's not that important."

"Is that so? But that... it's a little difficult to talk about..."

While Kokoro watching the surrounding traffic, he took a breath and answered hesitantly.

"Difficult to talk about? Could it be some kind of... inappropriate method?"

Sakurakoji Luna felt that she hadn't let her guard down at all all night.

"But whatever the method, it doesn't matter! Your father and mother won't dislike you, so tell me."

"That's right! As long as this can be achieved, no matter what it is, we will support you!"

"Real?"

What to do? Although it sounded touching, he was already starting to laugh.

"Of course!"

X 2.

After carefully considering his words and the order of events, he blinked and suggested, "... How about we talk about those two people first, and then we can discuss this later?"

"... You promise you'll tell me later, right?"

Sakurakoji Luna cast a suspicious glance at her.

They knew his cunning all too well; this was probably just another delaying tactic.

"I promise!"

"Okay, let's start with that."

She nodded in agreement.

Although her son had a rather eccentric and wicked personality, even worse than hers, he was still trustworthy.

"Ah~ speaking of this,"

With a troubled expression, Okura Yusei picked up the small designer bag they had brought and took out a Mahiru wrapped little gift box. "Because you only told us about Talent, we only prepared a gift for her."

"I didn't have a chance to give it to Miss Ai because she was there... What should I do?"

"How about we take a slightly longer route and buy one from a luxury store near Omotesando?"

Sakurakoji Luna suggested, "Even though it's a bit late, there should still be shops open 24 hours."

"Ah, right, now that they're not here, it's a good opportunity!"

Okura Yusei expressed his agreement.

"It doesn't need to be that complicated,"

Sakurakoji Talent snorted, proud of her cleverness, and reached into the cabinet to take out another equally exquisite little gift box. "Because I've already prepared one for you."

"Really?! That's wonderful!"

Okura Yusei happily accepted it, "I can give it to them directly after we get off the bus!"

"..."

Sakurakoji Luna, however, was not happy at all. She half-closed her eyes and stared at him sideways. "Since you were prepared all along, then today's surprise attack was indeed premeditated by you, wasn't it?"

"..."

"Ha... you child, you really did inherit..."

"It must be you, Mother (Luna)!"

The two men inside the car answered in unison.

She blinked her big, innocent eyes a few times, not expecting to be met with a chorus of complaints.

"Hey~"

Okura Yusei coughed lightly, then moved on to the next topic, his face showing some hesitation and embarrassment. "Well, that... Talent... how has your relationship with Miss Ai progressed so far..."

"Ah! It's okay if you don't want to talk about it! After all, it's your privacy as young people, and your father won't interfere too much!"

Before he could finish speaking, he waved his hands repeatedly, his handsome face slightly flushed, interrupting himself.

"Hmph~ What's there to be embarrassed about? It's just asking if they reached home plate, right?"

In the back seat, Sakurakoji Luna crossed her legs and casually added to the conversation.

But the fact that her skin was so easily tinged with rosy hues completely betrayed her thoughts.

All of this was observed by Sakurakoji Talent was watching the rearview mirror inside the car, and then he clicked his tongue and shook his head slightly.

My dear mother, you're still too inexperienced. Your experience and mental fortitude are nowhere near mine!

Although he was just a naive young boy who would blush when these topics were discussed not long ago, he is now a completely different person!

To make him blush easily now, I'd have to do something more exciting, something he's never done before!

However, these two should theoretically have far more practical experience than him. Whether it's something he's tried before or not, they should have done it countless times. It shouldn't be like this.

Is it because I still have a youthful mindset, or am I destined to feel awkward around my children...? cough cough

"However, I still feel that it's a bit too early for her Talent to reach adulthood... or something like that."

Okura Yusei offered his opinion weakly, lacking confidence.

Sakurakoji Talent's eyes widened in surprise as she turned to look at him with a somewhat dangerously cautious expression.

How could you have the nerve to say that? When do you think you started making vows under the moonlight back then?

If we're comparing ages, he's a few months younger than them!

"Perhaps it's because in my mind, it hasn't been long since that period when I was just a little Talent and Luna forced me to wear girls' clothes."

"Time is truly terrifying; in the blink of an eye, Talent and Ashiri have grown so much..."

Sakurakoji Luna nodded repeatedly with emotion.

"Ho--!!!"

She covered her face in disbelief, as if she had suffered a great shock.

The strange sound drew the attention of the two people in the front row.

"Oh no! Does this mean I'll soon be a grandmother...? I still have several years before I turn 40!!!"

The two tacitly averted their gazes and remained silent.

"Now you know you regret it? What were you doing when you got pregnant and gave birth to me right after graduating high school?" Sakurakoji Talent thought to himself.

"Well, just as you can imagine, Ai and I have already developed a very close relationship, so she's almost certainly going to be your daughter. I'm entrusting her to you from now on!"

"So, you really did it...?"

Even though he had mentally prepared himself, Okura Yusei still leaned back in his seat, feeling somewhat melancholy and powerless.

"Isn't this way too early? It just goes to show how young people are these days..."

Sakurakoji Luna made a nonchalant comment.

"Hey~ really? When did you and Father get married, Mom?"

He glanced at the two of them with a teasing look.

"..."

X 2.

Okura Yusei and Sakurakoji Luna exchanged a glance, their faces slightly flushed, before looking away a second later.

"Well, I'll definitely be a little later than you guys! Right, Yusei?"

"Hmm, I think so, but I can't quite remember..."

Hmph, liar!

Sakurakoji Talent pursed his lips.

Chapter 345 There might be a lot of daughters.

"One more question: how did you meet Mahiru-chan and Miss Ai?"

Sakurakoji Luna reveals her gossipy side as a mother.

"Soso~ I'm curious too! Can you tell me if it's convenient?"

Previously, when we were online, I had only heard him mention Shiina Mahiru a few times and learned about her background from Okura Iyo, but I knew nothing else about her, and I knew absolutely nothing about Hoshino Ai.

"Well, that's a long story..."

His thoughts drifted back to just over two months ago, not so long ago.

"And so on, and so forth..."

After removing the parts of him dressed as a woman that were close to Shiina Mahiru, he told them the gist of the matter.

"I see..."

Sakurakoji Luna's eyes showed surprise, tinged with pity and tenderness. "Mahiru-chan and Miss Ai both have rather difficult pasts..."

"Coughing, sobbing, whimpering..."

Okura Yusei couldn't help but pull out a tissue to wipe Xiao Zhenzhu's face, letting out a sob, feeling that their life experiences seemed to be much more tragic than her own back then.

At least when he was young, he had his mother's love and companionship. Although his studies were very hard, he was fortunate enough to have enough to eat and wear.

"Waaaaah~ Poor Mahiru and Miss Ai ~ They must have had a really hard life before~"

"Talent, you must treat them well in the future! Of course, we will too! We will treat them like our own daughters!"

In a sense, his life experiences back then were somewhat similar to those of Shiina Mahiru.

Both were born into wealthy families, but they did not receive love and attention. However, he still had his mother's love, while Shiina Mahiru had a nanny who accompanied and educated her. Therefore, both of them were fortunate enough to maintain their original good character.

But Hoshino Ai... well, I can only say that Sakurakoji Talent has never truly seen anyone worse off than her. At least others have wealthy families and living parents, but she has absolutely nothing. Her only mother isn't even considered human.

Compared to her life, most stories of people suffering from a lack of love seem no different from melodrama.

"You're doing a great job with your Talent!"

Sakurakoji Luna was pleased with her son's growth, a happy smile appearing on her beautiful face.

"Although you've faced many setbacks since childhood, you've grown into a gentle and outstanding young man, and I'm so happy for you!"

"Really?! My son has become so outstanding, I Risana right now and invite everyone to have a party!"

Okura Yusei also echoed with a gentle smile.

No, it's not quite what you think... Sakurakoji Talent is a little insecure.

How can he explain that his initial intentions in approaching them were not pure...?

"So, does that mean we'll have three daughters in the future? That's not so bad, they're all so cute!"

Sakurakoji Luna cupped her face in her hands, swaying from side to side, lost in thought about the Mirai, and continued in her usual calm and quiet voice:

"So, when do you plan to marry Miss Ai? How about having the wedding after you come of age?"

"To put Miss Ai's mind at ease, we can hold an engagement ceremony for you now. Will you prepare the ring yourself, or will we do it for you...?"

"Regarding this matter..."

Sakurakoji Talent quickly interrupted his mother, his face hesitant, but knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, he steeled himself and continued to explain:

"I don't think I ever said that... I only have one lover..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the previously comfortable and stable car interior became even quieter, as if time had frozen.

The couple looked at him at the same time, their eyes turning into beady pupils.
