What's Wrong with Adding One More Genius to Omni-Anime?

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, would you like me to pour you a cup of fresh tea?"

Kato Megumi carried the teapot, fulfilling her duty.

"Ah, um... please."

She pursed her sexy, rosy lips, then couldn't help but lick them with her tongue, making her already moist lips even more vibrant.

Although the taste was much better than she had imagined, and she didn't dislike it, she still wanted to cover it up with the aroma of tea.

Kato Megumi observed her silently with a composed expression, feeling that her already proud and stunning appearance seemed to have gained an additional, inexplicable aura...

After quickly finishing her work on the Starry and helping with some odd jobs, Sakurakoji Talent took some time to return to her apartment.

Aoyama Nanami said that Sakurakoji Ashiri needed to talk to him, and he needed to ask her before it got too late.

Ding dong~

"Ah, it's Young Master! We'll open the door for you right away!"

Yamabuki Kuyachiyo, who saw his figure in the internal video, heard a muffled voice coming from inside the door. A few seconds later, the door to the 65th floor was opened from the inside.

"Good evening, Young Master!"

That evening, instead of wearing her Maid Outfit, Yamabuki Kuyachiyo, dressed in her everyday clothes, bowed and greeted him.

"Yo~ Kuyachiyo, how was your Golden Week?"

He entered the room without ceremony, pinching her delicate face as he did so, and struck up a conversation while she changed her shoes.

"Hi, hi... Following behind Miss, I, Kuyachiyo."

Her pretty, slightly childlike face flushed slightly.

Compared to other high school students, she looks relatively young.

"That's good. I've had a fulfilling time too. What's Ashiri doing...? He's probably not taking a shower, right?"

The thought of the potentially disastrous outcome he might Kokoro enter made his heart tighten inexplicably, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

No Germany or anything like that...

If he really goes astray, even if he doesn't really want to do it, he'll have to use a certain ability...

"Yes, it's still early. Miss is still reading in the living room."

After a few words, he changed his shoes and walked straight into the open shoji door.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw his lovely Yamato Nadeshiko Japanese woman).

It must be said that, having inherited the beautiful looks of both her parents, she would appear to anyone as a graceful, elegant, and pure noble lady.

Although she still retained a sense of naivety and innocence compared to Rumin, who was less than a year older than her, her gentle and unassuming temperament was captivating to everyone who saw her.

The only thing she lacks is experience in the social division of labor. Give her a few more years, and she'll probably become another Okura Rumin.

Good evening, Ashiri.

"Ah, good evening, elder brother, how have you been lately?"

Hearing the two enter, Ashiri looked up from the books on the Small Table, smiled gently with eyes as clear as water, and stood up to welcome them.

"Just like you."

"That seems like a good idea."

That's it.

The brother and sister smiled at each other, their eyes revealing a mutual understanding and appreciation. They then took their seats, while Yamabuki Kuyachiyo went to prepare tea and snacks.

"You're up so early today, aren't you at work?"

"No, I did, but I sneaked out during a break."

"Sneaking out during a break? Does that mean it's not work at the livehouse?"

Sakurakoji Ashiri her head with clear eyes. As far as she knew, the livehouse where he worked part-time was quite far from here.

"This is a secret, I can't tell you now, but you'll find out later."

He closed one eye and put a finger to his lips, not afraid of her asking more questions or getting angry.

As expected, seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Ashiri did not show any curiosity or willful attitude of insisting that he talk, but simply changed the subject.

"I see. It seems to be a private matter. I won't ask then—brother, what brings you here today?"

"Can't you come and see my adorable Imouto if there's nothing wrong?"

"While I'm happy you said that, if that's the case, I still hope you can come as my older sister..."

"Uh, I have to go to work soon, so please let me off the hook today..."

"Hehe~ Just kidding, I'm very sorry."

"There's nothing to apologize for, but you're right, I did have something to do, so I'm sorry."

"I'll repeat what my elder brother said earlier... What was it about?"

"Nanami told me about the thing you wanted to find me about."

"Ah..."

With just a little prompting, she understood, and her tone and expression conveyed a hint of struggle and difficulty.

"Has something bad happened to you lately? Or is your allowance not enough? No problem! Just tell me, brother! Whether you want 100 million yen or 1 billion yen, I'll give it to you!"

"If you've been bullied by anyone, just tell me, and I'll go get them myself."

"No, thank you for your concern. But my life and studies are stable, I have enough pocket money, and I also received a bonus from Uncle Iyo Yuan's little stash last time..."

A brief look of gratitude and happiness appeared on Ashiri's face, but he quickly returned to his troubled expression, even shifting his gaze to the side.

"What is that?"

Sakurakoji Talent is incomprehensible.

If it weren't for these things, what else could she have wanted to call me here for?

"..."

Silence followed, but he didn't have to wait long. Having prepared herself mentally, Sakurakoji Ashiri Kokoro parted her red lips and said, "Um, brother..."

"What?"

"Although it may be presumptuous of me to say these things, it concerns your lover..."

"Lover? You mean love, or Mahiru? It can't be that big blond guy, can it?"

He was fine until the moment he thought of Ouka Mai's stunningly beautiful face, a symbol of trendsetting authority, and he trembled almost imperceptibly.

Some things can't be solved with strength and talent alone...

"Unfortunately, Desu, what I'm talking about is neither love, nor Mahiru, nor Miss Wangzhong."

Hearing his older brother call Ouka Mai" Big Golden Hair, "Ashiri could only manage a slight wry smile.

"I haven't even said who you mean, and you already know it's Ouka Mai?"

"..."

Having rarely been choked up before, Ashiri choked for a moment, then continued as if nothing had happened, "... Anyway, I was referring to Rumin!"

"Rumin-jie? What's wrong?"

Sakurakoji Talent was somewhat surprising.

To be honest, apart from meeting once before Golden Week, the two have been busy with personal matters lately and haven't seen each other much.

Ashiri observed his expression and stammered, "When Rumin went to visit her family, she saw Ai and Mahiru..."

Just from that, Sakurakoji Talent instantly understood the whole story and what she wanted to express.

Ah~ this scorching smell... it's the long-lost smell of Shura Field...

Seeing his furrowed brows and silence, Ashiri continued, "Then, these past few days when I've seen her at the regular tea party on the rooftop, she always seems distracted, and I'm very worried about her health..."

"I see..."

His heart felt as if it were being gently squeezed, and a sense of guilt rose within him.

Although, given his previous single status, there was no need for him to feel guilty—those were just empty words and sophistry, and he wasn't going to use them to excuse himself.

Even if there were reasons behind it, being a womanizer is being a womanizer, and there's nothing wrong with him admitting it.

The important thing is to find an acceptable happy ending for everyone.

"I understand, thank you for telling me."

"No, it's what I should do. Did I help you?"

Ashiri blinked her big, purple eyes, gazing at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

Actively helping her brother coordinate and handle matters related to the Crystal Palace —only a very few sisters in the world, including her, would do such a thing.

"Thank you so much!"

He walked to her side, hugged her from behind, gently stroked her hair, and cuddled her like a puppy.

"Very good!"

She accepted it all with an air of enjoyment.

"Alright, now that we've finished talking, I should probably go. I'll go see her when I get back tonight."

"Are we going tonight?"

"It's bound to happen sooner or later anyway, so for her mental and physical well-being, the sooner the better."

"I understand. Best of luck in your military campaign."

She practiced saying the new words she had recently learned.

"Trust your Bro's skills! My proficiency and technique have improved a lot recently!"

"No, I'm not really concerned about that..."

"..."

Chapter 418 How about we talk about our marriage?

Nighttime, after get off work, on the 64th floor of the apartment building.

Ding dong~

"..."

Ding dong~ Ding dong~

"..."

Ding dong~ Ding dong~ Ding dong~

"..."

Even after ringing the doorbell many times, there was still no answer.

Has he not returned yet? That shouldn't be the case, it's already this late—or is he working overtime?

After thinking for a moment, he asked the staff at the front desk and received the reply, "It seems like we saw Rumin return."

So, either he was practicing the piano in his room, or... he couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore.

Forget it, I'll just call.

I was thinking of giving her a surprise attack, but I'll pass now.

He dialed a very familiar number on his phone.

Although he had many ways to open the door, none of them served any purpose other than making her angry.

Fortunately, the call was answered quickly.

"Talent-kun?"

A beautiful voice, tinged with weariness and melancholy, conveyed a tone of doubt through the technological artifact in his hand.

"What is Rumin-jie doing right now?"
