Chapter 398

He buried his face in his mother's legs and rubbed against her, his Hands around her waist, which was even more slender than Shiina Mahiru's, and lazily closed his eyes and asked softly.

The familiar scent filled his nostrils, gradually relaxing and bringing him comfort.

"Oh oh."

Sakurakoji Luna stared wide-eyed in surprise, astonished by her son's sudden intimate gesture. She then gently touched his silver hair, which was as smooth and soft as her own.

Her eyes held a mixture of affection and confusion. He didn't usually engage in such casual physical intimacy with his family members; what was wrong with him today?

"Ashiri is going back to school tomorrow, so she's heading back to the apartment. Mahiru-chan and Ai-chan are the same; they both have their own things to do."

"Oh, really? That's fine then..."

Sakurakoji Talent felt relieved. Before the situation became clear, telling them about this would only cause them unnecessary worry.

It's actually a good thing they're not here.

He knew about Shiina Mahiru and Hoshino Ai's activities because they were in contact every day, but he didn't know about Ashiri's —after all, she was just a silly and cute Imouto.

"Is there something you need?"

"No, it's not a big deal for them..."

After the maid finished brewing his tea, he instructed her, "I have something to discuss with my father and mother. Could you please guard the door and prevent anyone from coming in?"

"Yes!"

After bowing to them with her hands clasped, she walked out of the living room readily and gently closed the heavy door.

Once the living room fell silent again, Okura Yusei and Sakurakoji Luna exchanged a glance, wondering what he was up to.

But their intuition told them that things probably wouldn't be simple.

"Can we talk now?"

Sakurakoji Luna spoke softly and gently.

"Did something happen to you outside?"

Okura Yusei also expressed his concern, his handsome face showing deep worry.

If he grew his hair long and sat next to Sakurakoji Luna, just by looking at their expressions, it would be hard to tell who was the father and who was the mother... or rather, Sakurakoji Luna clearly looked more like a "strict father".

"Um..."

After absorbing the power of maternal love and replenishing the energy that had leaked from his heart, he slowly sat up and began to describe the supernatural events he had encountered that day.

"Actually, something very strange happened to me today..."

He was going to Fujisawa and told them roughly what happened after he met Sakurajima Mai.

Although I also don't want to worry these two too much, they are, after all, adults who control vast resources, and telling them will actually help them take precautions in advance.

He was afraid that he might encounter a ghost if he went out casually, and he was also afraid that his relatives and friends would suffer the same fate.

The couple's expressions changed dramatically, from initial indifference to wide-eyed astonishment.

Sakurakoji Luna was a little better off. Even though she was very shocked, she knew it was a serious matter, so she could only show it in her eyes.

As Okura Yusei spoke, his body began to tremble, his eyebrows furrowed, his expression uncertain, and he was quite shaken...

"A former celebrity girl walking around the library dressed as Bunny Girl, but nobody pays her any attention... Hey, hey? Hey..."

That's roughly the situation.

Ying Xiaolu Cai? Yi Ling Yi Ni <? ] Privately I blame you? Xi? Jun, Yang Hua has finished explaining.

Sakurakoji Luna glanced at her still-stunned husband, then looked at her son, her brows furrowed in seriousness as she confirmed, "First, let's confirm, today isn't April Fools' Day's Day, right?"

"Yes, April Fools' Day was over a month ago. I even fooled a few girls I know well that day."

Sakurakoji Talent, arms crossed, leaned back on the sofa and nodded repeatedly.

"Several familiar girls... are they just potential daughters-in-law candidates...? Never mind."

Sakurakoji Luna's eyebrows twitched, and her forehead was covered in black lines.

She forced herself not to think about it for the time being, and composed herself. "So, what do you think caused this?"

"This is still under investigation, but that's not what really worries me..."

His brows were furrowed, and his face was filled with worry.

"You're worried that besides this matter, there might be other mysterious events or things happening, right?"

Sakurakoji Luna quickly figured out his thoughts.

"Hmm, Mother, do you still recognize her?"

"No, we're all like you, we didn't pay much attention to the domestic entertainment industry before. If it's celebrities from twenty years ago, I do recognize them..."

"Those are basically the marks of time, right?"

"I'll beat you up if you say that again."

"..."

He chuckled and rushed over to hug her petite body, pleading, "Oh dear, what am I going to do, Mother?! I'm so scared I don't want to go out!"

He rarely showed his childlike side, making gestures and using words that would make him feel very embarrassed if other people he knew saw it.

However, for now, there are no problems.

The only downside... is the nearly 30-centimeter height difference between the two, which makes the scene of him hugging the White Hair loli and acting cute seem somewhat comical.

As he rocked her back and forth, Sakurakoji Luna closed her eyes and pondered deeply, "This is indeed a rather troublesome matter. What exactly is going on?"

"It seems we'll need to leverage the connections and financial resources of the Sakurakoji Family and Okura Family to gather as much intelligence as possible on this matter."

Given Sakurakoji Talent's talented and reputable family background, she didn't suspect that he was just trying to make them happy.

She didn't scold or reprimand him for his improper shaking; instead, she calmly analyzed the situation.

"Have you never heard of this before?"

Sakurakoji Talent asked the two questions.

"No, at least not my older brother and Risana. They've never heard of such a strange thing in the world."

Okura Yusei, recovering from his bewildered state, gave a wry smile.

"There's no record of anything like this in the Sakurakoji Family's history... While there are some mysterious accounts, they can mostly be categorized as myths."

Sakurakoji Luna adds.

"I see. Did this only start appearing recently? That's really troublesome..."

"It's also possible that the lack of information in the past made it difficult to distinguish the truth from falsehood in these stories."

Sakurakoji Luna rested her delicate, fair hand on her chin, continuing to ponder.

"Fortunately, no major incidents have occurred so far, so there's no need to worry excessively."

"Hey? Luna, you're really calm..."

Okura Yusei appeared uneasy, "This is a supernatural phenomenon! Who knows when it might affect us in some extraordinary way!"

"I know, but there's not much we can do for now, so we can't panic."

She didn't even open her eyes, still lost in her own thoughts.

Seeing her like this, Okura Yusei decided not to disturb her.

Although he is quite capable and intelligent, he is mainly suited for supporting roles; decision-making is not his area of expertise.

In other words, once the general direction is set, he is able to perfectly complete the assigned tasks.

He turned his gaze to the person who was still pretending to be a good boy. "What do you think of Talent? What are you going to do about that former actress girl?"

"What do you mean by 'thinking'?"

Sakurakoji Talent's face slightly revealed one eye from Sakurakoji Luna.

"Well, although I don't want you to get involved in this anymore—after all, such unknown matters are too dangerous—you've already promised that girl, right? So we can't just leave it unattended."

Okura Yusei looked at the loving mother and son with envy, his cheeks puffing out slightly, a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

It wasn't that I had any complaints, but I felt a little inexplicably sad that Sakurakoji Talent only had close contact with Sakurakoji Luna and kept her distance from him.

In raising his two children, he devoted the most care and attention to them...

Is this what's said online—that the relationship between mothers and sons, or fathers and daughters, is generally closer than that between fathers and sons, or mothers and daughters?

Hmm... Ashiri does get along very well with him, but because that child is a Good Child, he's also very close to Luna, so he can't be used as a reference at all...

While his mind was caught up in the vortex of parenting, he multitasked and continued, "After all, like a knight, rescuing a girl in distress without expecting anything in return is what a proper gentleman should do."

As soon as he said it, a feeling of nostalgia welled up in his heart.

Suddenly, he thought of his deceased mother and his younger sister, Okura Rina, and the old days...

"Just like you and your aunt?"

Sakurakoji Talent stared at him indifferently with his eyes half-closed.

"Yeah~yes~just like me and Risana... eh?"

Okura Yusei's large eyes widened into circles as he stared at him in shock and astonishment.

"What's so surprising? I knew this a long time ago."

He buried his head back down and muttered, "How pitiful... My aunt... was just flirted with by some irresponsible gentleman and then abandoned. She's destined to be alone forever..."

When Risana was a little Princess, she was on vacation in the United Kingdom when she was bullied by the children of the servants at the Manchester Mansion. The person who saved her was Okura Yusei, nicknamed the Attic Prince, who had escaped from the attic where he was imprisoned.

And so, without knowing each other's identities, Okura Rina fell in love with someone.

However, because of this incident, her mother banished Okura Yusei from Manchester, preventing him from seeing his mother one last time...

Years later, Ozura Sōna, who had grown into a shut-in and good-for-nothing, finally met her Prince Charming again—only as his younger sister.

Shocking! The Prince saved me when I was a child is actually my half-brother!

Hahaha...!!!

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Unfortunately, this isn't the film set for the theory and surrounding area, so that aunt probably has no hope. Sakurakoji Talent allows her to mourn for three seconds.

"Hey--I didn't Risana! It's just... you know what I mean! It's impossible between siblings!"

"Besides, relationships require mutual consent...!"

Okura Yusei hurriedly got up, gesturing frantically, trying to rebuild his imposing image in his son's mind.

Unfortunately, for him, who already knew everything, this effort was destined to be futile.

"Hey~ So you want me to be your gentleman? I hate guys who only flirt but never marry."

Ignoring his sophistry, he continued to nestle in his mother's arms and sullenly retort.

"No, but it's right for a boy to be a gentleman... he should..."

Okura Yusei's tone softened, and he became less confident.

This was his mother's teaching, and he always felt that being a gentle gentleman was the right thing to do.

But thinking about it carefully, it's true that because of his gentleness, many girls who liked him could only attend his wedding in tears...

Was he really wrong? He couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

Chapter 405 The First Person to Experience the Mutation.

"Alright, stop teasing him. His Talent..."

Sakurakoji Luna opened her eyes and tapped his head helplessly.

Hi~

He let out a lazy sound and then fell silent.

"Besides, what right do you have to criticize him? There are clearly more girls here than maids in the house..."

Thinking about this, Sakurakoji Luna couldn't help but look at the ceiling with worry and sigh, feeling as if she had aged several years in an instant.

It seems that because she's about to become a grandmother, even her gray hairs are starting to appear.

Oh, I've always had gray hair. Never mind then.
