Chapter 438

"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.

"..."

Sakurakoji Talent lay motionless, feigning death.

Although he wanted to say that he wasn't the irresponsible type and that he would marry someone he flirted with, but...

There are just too many people who like him; he simply can't marry them all... It's not his fault!

"So, what are you planning to do about that girl?"

Sakurakoji Luna was also somewhat interested in this.

"... We've already told her that, we can't just abandon her like this, can we? Let's help her resolve this matter first before talking about anything else."

He changed his position, lying peacefully on his back with her lap as his pillow.

He kicked his shoes off, put his legs together on the sofa, and pressed himself down on top of another person.

"..."

Silently observing his actions, Sakurakoji Luna coughed lightly, refraining from reprimanding him for his utterly impolite and presumptuous behavior.

I kept repeating to myself, "Today's a special day, let him off this time..."

Of course, she was able to allow this on the other hand because there were no outsiders or servants here, only the three of them.

"That's good too! It would be a bit pitiful to just leave that child unattended."

Okura Yusei smiled with satisfaction.

He wasn't discouraged by his terrible behavior at all; on the contrary, he was slightly pleased that he could "enjoy" the same treatment as his wife.

"But!"

Sakurakoji Talent's voice trailed off, his Angel face now serious as he added, "It will have to wait until I find a way to fight against these unreasonable things!"

"Huh?"

Okura Yusei was taken aback, then let out a long, mournful cry, "Eh..."

Faced with his disappointed and complicated gaze, Sakurakoji Talent stubbornly pouted and turned her head, resolutely saying, "Even so! Although I roughly guess that what she's doing isn't dangerous, other things are a different story!"

"What if I encounter other unreasonable things while helping her? I'll die!!"

"..."

Okura Yusei lowered his eyes and remained silent, not saying anything.

No normal parent would let their child risk their life for another person's.

"At worst, if she's truly forgotten, I'll take her in for a while—if I still remember her then."

He said it casually, without any hesitation.

Call it fear of death, call it cowardice.

But he's long past the age of impulsive action. Now, he would never risk his life for someone he's only known for a short time.

This wasn't just because his greatest wish in life was to live a normal life until death, but also because he was thinking of those who cared about him!

Bunny Girl stars? Bunny Girl stars are no good either!!!

He wasn't a lustful person; beauty was worthless to him, if not worthless.

"That doesn't matter..."

Sakurakoji Luna scratched her head, looking troubled.

She wasn't particularly concerned about Sakurajima Mai's situation. Although kind-hearted, she wasn't as naive as her husband. What truly mattered to her was...

"But from what you're saying, it seems like you're planning to stay cooped up in the mansion from now on, resuming your old routine..."

"Souta yo (That's right!)!"

Sakurakoji Talent nodded quickly twice, indicating that she was right.

"Majiga (Really?)..."

Sakurakoji Luna had a bitter expression on her face, feeling as if she had been hit in the chest again, and a breath caught in her throat.

Does this mean that my son, who finally managed to leave the house, will become a shut-in again because of this?

This time limit might be a lifetime?

No, I don't want that kind of thing...

"But, but what about Miss Ai and the others?"

Okura Yusei, his brow trembling, tried to persuade him to stay.

Clearly, he, like his wife, was on the verge of developing PTSD from that statement.

Do you know what they've been through for the past ten years?! There can be absolutely no more setbacks!

"When you miss me, come visit me? Or bring me here to play games with you in the room every day?"

"So, what about your Mirai life...?"

"I'll live off your parents for now, and then let Ashiri support me, her useless older brother—if she likes it, being a useless older sister to provide her with emotional support every day isn't out of the question."

"Luna..."

Okura Yusei looked at his wife with a sense of grievance and helplessness.

"Okay, I got it."

Sakurakoji Luna pressed her fingers to her forehead, trying to avoid feeling dizzy. After reviewing the answer she had just come up with, she slowly said, "So, you must have some ideas now, right? Talent?"

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, a bewildered Okura Yusei asked, "Huh? What's going on?"

Gently stroking Sakurakoji Talent's cheek and forehead as he closed his eyes in enjoyment, she explained, "Do you really think he's coming back to be a shut-in? Our son isn't that fragile, or rather, not that stupid."

"Actually, it's not impossible, I don't mind..."

Sakurakoji Talent corrected him quietly.

"Shut up first."

She covered his small, Sakura lips, as soft and thin as her own.

"That's for?"

Okura Yusei was completely bewildered, then recalled the question he had asked earlier, "Is it to see us and Ashiri?"

Sakurakoji Luna gently shook her head under someone's innocently blinking eyes, then explained, "He doesn't even know if we left or not, so how could he be here to see us? The same goes for Ashiri."

"That is..."

Without giving a direct answer, Sakurakoji Luna remained silent for a moment, seemingly considering where to begin.

After a while.

Composing herself, she spoke wearily, "Actually, Ms. Sakurajima's incident isn't the first thing we've encountered that defies common sense..."

"Huh?"
