Chapter 442
"As expected of me! I really am a cute and charming good guy!"
"I love you! My silver-white mom! I love you! My dear mother!"
"... And let me also show you my love, Father."
"..."
The people in the living room all stopped moving. After recognizing the familiar voice coming from upstairs, they quickly looked up and exchanged glances, then simultaneously got up and hurried upstairs!
The howling outside subsided quickly after a few moments, no longer disturbing the peace. As for the maids he had already woken up... what are you looking at? Time to get up and have some water!
The four of them stood guard outside Sakurakoji Talent's room. After a while, the door was slowly opened.
After changing out of her blood-soaked clothes, Sakurakoji Talent, who was about to take a bath, noticed the people outside the door. She quickly washed away the marks on her body with hot water, then dressed and left the bedroom.
"Hey! Father, Mother, Aunt, Uncle... It's so late, aren't you all still awake? Aren't you afraid of having dark circles under your eyes tomorrow?"
Looking at the four people standing at the door, he grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, showing no lingering fear from his brush with death.
There's no way around it; he's in a really good mood right now, and it's really not easy to get him to have any negative emotions...
Seeing that he seemed perfectly fine and was still lively and energetic, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter 408 Tsurumaki Kokoro! Come out and fight one-on-one!
"It's over?"
Sakurakoji Luna couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, it's over."
He nodded with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I had another episode... It's okay, everyone go back now."
He stretched and apologized to the maids who had rushed over after hearing the commotion, telling them to go back to sleep. Then he closed the door and headed towards the stairs.
"Let's talk about it downstairs."
The four looked at each other in confusion and followed closely behind.
He led the four into the living room, closed the heavy door, and then sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed, saying magnanimously, "Hey! Ask me anything you want!"
A brief silence fell over the space; no one spoke for a moment, perhaps pondering where to begin their questions.
"Then I'll go first."
Okura Rina frowned slightly, and with a soft "hmm," asked her first question, "Your parents said you went in this afternoon, that was pretty quick. Does it really exist? That kind of thing?"
"It exists."
"Huh? Really... You've mastered it?"
Okura Rina looked completely bewildered.
Not only her, but the other three also widened their eyes in surprise.
Even Sakurakoji Luna was the same; although she had guessed it before, it still shocked her quite a bit when he confirmed it.
Is this what they're talking about in online games and novels...?
"It's a success, although not entirely complete."
When this was mentioned, Sakurakoji Talent puffed out his chest proudly.
Just as he expected, the answer was exactly what he had guessed, and surprisingly easy to communicate with.
Now I'm safe for the time being!
Moreover, because the ability is so convenient, it is also very beneficial to one's time management plan!
Congratulations! Congratulations!
"Really? So fast?!"
Okura Rina's expression held a hint of lingering resentment. "No, although this is a good thing... I still thought the process would be extremely arduous!"
"Like a 'smack'! Or a 'whoosh'! Or perhaps, a battle with a demon king who wants to possess you that lasts for days and nights..."
She gestured animatedly, explaining the imagery that had formed in her mind.
Sakurakoji Talent a moment, then slammed his hand on the table and said confidently, "Auntie, you were playing online games just now, weren't you!"
"How did you know?"
"Hmph! Of course it's because I'm a genius detective!"
"Nonsense!"
Seeing that the conversation was getting increasingly absurd, Okura Iyo pinched the skin on his forehead and interrupted him.
"Alright, once you've asked your questions, shut up. It's my turn."
"Well..."
Okura Iyo cleared his throat and asked the question that everyone present wanted to know, "So, Talent, can you show us 'that'?"
Sakurakoji Talent closed her eyes slightly and readily agreed, then walked to the center of the spacious living room.
He retracted his earlier frivolous tone, his expression becoming solemn, and with a quiet gaze, he softly instructed, "While it's possible, I hope you won't spread it around before the situation becomes clear. The investigation should be conducted discreetly and Kokoro."
"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 outrageous."
"Hmph~ As expected of my son! Completely different from that single, childless man!"
"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 no longer needed 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."
