Chapter 403

"We know that."

On behalf of the Okura Iyo agreed, and the other three nodded slightly, their attitudes becoming serious under his influence.

"Alright, everyone! Please enjoy!"

He smiled and opened his Hands, his body radiating a mysterious and dazzling glow.

"Sakurakoji Talent— shining brighter, more beautiful, more perfect, and more effortless—was born!"

Ten minutes later.

Sakurakoji Talent retracted his supernatural powers, sat back down on the sofa, and asked calmly, "How are you feeling?"

"..."

X 4.

Captivated by the wondrous and magnificent scene just now, the four of them stood there dumbfounded, their brows furrowed, their eyes closed, unable to utter a single word.

The scene from just now was still replaying in their minds.

At the same time, their worldview, which they had shaped over decades and was nearing perfection, is about to be completely shattered by this wave of impact.

They are simply forcing themselves to accept and understand this, relying on their strong adaptability and resilience.

Three more minutes passed.

"Don't you have any thoughts after watching it? Auntie, you guys are so boring~"

He gestured with his lips and poured himself a cup of tea from the teapot on the coffee table, which had already cooled down.

"Ah, let me prepare another pot for you, the other one's cold..."

Okura Yusei watched him drink the herbal tea, he couldn't help but ask with concern.

The scene he just witnessed probably had the least impact on him.

This is certainly partly due to his exceptional adaptability, which is the best among them. However, on the other hand, in his view, no matter how the world changes, his family will always be his family.

"No need~ The herbal tea is delicious too~ In fact, I'm in a great mood right now, so everything tastes good~!"

He drank the glass of water in one gulp, finding the spring water in the glass so sweet and refreshing, and said with delight, pressing one hand to his chest.

"Oh, that's good!"

Okura Yusei was genuinely happy for him.

He then pursed his lips and looked at his three other relatives, wondering when they would be able to break free.

After a while, the other three finally woke up.

"It's perfect for you... or rather, it suits our family's capabilities perfectly."

Okura Iyo commented with a complex expression.

"Although I hate to say it, I think my older brother is absolutely right this time..."

Okura Rina looked at him with a subtle expression, unsure of how to describe it.

"Phew~"

Sakurakoji Luna let out a long breath. A glint of light flashed in her red eyes, which had been tired from staying up all night. A long-lost fighting spirit returned, and she slammed her hand on the table, exclaiming, "Inspiration has struck! I'm going to the studio downstairs to draw up the design!"

"Me too! I feel like I can finally draw some really good design drawings again after a long time!"

"Since Luna and my older brother both say so, I'll go too~ I haven't drawn in a long time, I'm getting a little itchy~"

"Huh? Really?! I want to go too!"

Okura Yusei eyes, his gaze full of brilliance.

Although he lacked design talent, he chose the path of a pattern maker in order to get closer to this world.

Being able to see his wife and siblings' top-notch blueprints up close was something that made him very happy.

"Talent, would you like to join us?"

"Hmm... I wasn't really planning on drawing this, but as it's my first day of rebirth, I really should capture this wonderful feeling..."

He also stood up and walked towards the underground studio.

"I understand, I'll go with you!"

"Wow! Luna, brother, Risana, Talent —I'm so moved to have so many top designers gathered here!"

"Shut up!"

X N.

"Hi, hi..."

"Speaking of which, Talent, what did you mean by 'not entirely' just now?"

"It means exactly what it says. As you can see, I currently only have three."

"So, does that mean there will be other abilities later...? That's really outrageous!"

"Hmph~ As expected of my son! Completely different from that single, childless guy!"

"Brother Iyo! Luna is insulting you!"

"Shut up..."

"..."

The next morning.

The family, who had stayed up all night, sat around the long table in the restaurant. Everyone's eyes looked a little stiff, but they were all in good spirits.

Over the past few hours, the group has created a series of designs that are poised to cause a sensation in the design world.

Although they are several different styles, they are surprisingly unified in terms of elements and feel.

On the other hand, upon learning that Sakurakoji Talent had finally made it to base safely and would no longer have to worry about his condition worsening, their feelings as elders were difficult to describe in words.

In short, if it weren't for Sakurakoji Talent's own strong opposition, saying he didn't have time, they would already be preparing for a grand social event.

Because he was "frail and sickly" in the past, no one forced him to do anything.

Okura Iyo and the others felt that it was about time for him to go out and make a name for himself.

However Sakurakoji Luna objected. "We already have so many potential daughters-in-law. If we let him go out and attract so many young girls, what will we do in the future?"

Although socializing is more than just getting to know the children of famous people, it's foreseeable that when he appears at a banquet, no matter its level, he will become a highlight, making it impossible for him to keep a low profile.

Okura Yusei served the breakfasts he had personally prepared, placing them in front of the group.

"Where is the Talent of others?"

Okura Iyo and asked.

"It seems they went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes."

"I see. I suppose his feelings are just as complicated as ours right now?"

"Yes, that's what I think."

"..."

In Sakurakoji Talent room.

Upon returning here, he gathered up the bloodstained residue and disposed of it beforehand to avoid worrying the others later.

Then I went into the bathroom and finished the shower I hadn't completed last night.

As the water dripped from the showerhead, he stared blankly at the bathroom wall tiles.

Although it was something he had always dreamed of, when the moment actually arrived, he felt a strange emptiness and unease in his heart.

Whether he likes it or not, this means that the old life is gone and a new history is surging towards him.

"Well, let's take it one step at a time. Our current tasks, besides Kokoro reconnaissance, are to unlock other abilities!"

Thinking about his legendary experience last night, he felt a little elated.

As he said before, he now possesses three abilities—does that ring a bell?

That's right! It's those three kisses that represent a valid kiss!

Unfortunately, aside from kissing, the other minor progress steps can't yet play their proper role... But that's okay! Making good use of what we have now is perfectly sufficient for the moment!

So it seems that if I want to gain more power, I'd better speed up my kissing (becoming a player) process...

Hehehe~ He used to have some reservations about these things, but now...

All I can say is that, having seen the answer, he is no longer afraid of the hatchet. He's done!

If even this can't lead to a happy ending, he might as well just find a block of tofu and kill himself.

He effortlessly shifted his body shape, put on his school uniform, pulled his silver hair out from under his shirt, and quickly styled his hair in front of the full-length mirror.

I am still so beautiful today...

I pushed open the door, went downstairs, entered the dining room, and sat down as if no one else was there, ignoring the various gazes around me. I gestured to the elderly family member next to me to serve the dishes.

Are you planning to go to school today?

Sakurakoji Luna pinched her silver hair, bit her lip, then let go, asking helplessly.

"Well, the Golden Week is over, and I should go back to school after so long. What's up?"

Ogura Asahi tilted her head, revealing a beauty that was breathtakingly gorgeous, even more stunning than hers.

"No... you didn't sleep yesterday, why don't you rest for a bit today?"

"It's okay! I feel like I have plenty of energy right now!"

"Oh, I see..."

"Ugh~ Ugh~ It's unbearable to look at..."

Okura Rina covered her eyes, numbly muttering, "This weird nephew still likes cross-dressing so much..."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Okura Yusei, causing him to freeze in place.

"It's not that I like women's clothing, it's just that the clothes I like happen to be women's clothing."

Ogura Asahi didn't even look up, explaining in a serious and understated manner.

"Sophistry!"

"Think what you want, I don't care~"

"Hmph~ Not bad, your will is very strong. In this regard, I have to praise you!"

"Thank you~ although I'm not happy at all."

"Kuji! I'm furious! How dare you talk to your aunt like that! Aren't you afraid I'll make things difficult for you?"

"I used to be a little scared, but now..."

He gave her a look that conveyed everything without saying a word, with a mix of indifference, amusement, and disdain.

"..."

Okura Rina, who fully understood his meaning, slumped helplessly onto the table. "What to do? This genius and difficult nephew of mine is getting even more difficult now..."

"Ugh! It'll be even harder to play pranks on him in the future!"

Okura Yusei neatly placed his breakfast set in front of him, holding the tray and asking with concern, "But there's not much time before class starts, are you sure you'll make it in time?"

There are still twenty minutes left before Hanasakigawa's class starts, and with lunch time included, it's unlikely they'll make it in time no matter what.

Sakurakoji Talent skillfully and elegantly handled her knife and fork, her movements swift and efficient. "Before, I would have answered, 'Just be late,' but now... I have my own way."

The others, except for the maid, instantly understood and silently acknowledged it.

"This is so convenient. How about you take me and Brother Iyo to the company later?"

Okura Rina raised an eyebrow and gave him a knowing look.
