Chapter 615

Around noon, after getting his lunch at Filia's cafeteria as usual, Ogura Asahi returned to the Hanasakigawa.

"What did you do today?" Miyako Shizuka wasn't surprised, but she was curious.

Ogura Asahi put a piece of Bavarian roast meat into his mouth and, rather rudely, said while chewing, "Would you believe me if I said I went to see a performance?"

"Live?" Shiina Rikki raised an eyebrow and looked over.

"In your eyes, is performing only about live performances? How narrow-minded~ So narrow-minded~" He clicked his tongue and shook his head.

"..."

"What is that?" Hachiman Kairin also wanted to know.

"Chorus."

"A chorus?" X 3

The three looked at each other, completely taken aback by this answer; it was comparable to the surprise of attending a concert.

Going to a choir performance during exam time, isn't that a bit...?

"You actually went to see the show?" Shiina Rikki, who thought he was just joking, was even more speechless.

"..."

After finishing the health and physical education test in the afternoon, Ogura Asahi left school an hour and a half early.

The exam for this subject only lasted one hour, and the content wasn't difficult. Originally, they could have waited for Miyako Shizuka to finish so they could go to the [Sakura Rain] building together. But after thinking about it, he felt there was nothing to do with her there, so he slipped away early.

Before going to work at Starry, he still made full use of his time to complete the work he had accumulated, and his hand speed was comparable to that of a Student Council President who could create afterimages when typing.

After finishing his work with the Starry, he returned to his apartment at the same time as yesterday and began preparing dinner.

To think that someone as talented as him has fallen so low as to cook for others every day... I suddenly miss the days a few months ago when I could just sit around and have food served to me.

The attendees at the evening meeting were not much different from yesterday's; after all, both of them had equally pathetic social relationships.

The only difference is that there's an extra Shiina Mahiru.

She absolutely had to attend her "Great Aunt's " and "older sister's" birthday parties.

"Rumin-jie, happy birthday~ This is a gift for you."

"Thank you... What's this year's? A dress you sewed yourself?"

"You can save this surprise for when you open it yourself later~"

Sakurakoji Talent smiled, his eyes narrowed, his expression flawless.

"Rumin- neechan, this is my gift. Happy birthday!"

"Thank you, Ashiri."

"Ahem~ This is my gift! Use it with gratitude, Rumin-san!"

"Thank you, Miss Sakuri... Something feels a little strange, what is this?"

"Hehehe~ Of course, it's something that Rumin-san can use alone at night!"

"Hmm? What's that?" Okura Rumin tilted her dark purple head, her eyes filled with confusion.

Although her relationship with him had progressed a lot, she remained one of the most innocent girls around him.

If we include those from before, probably only Shiina Mashiro can be ranked alongside her in this regard.

Yōkadō Sakuri's cheeks flushed crimson. "I love Rumin-san! Ah! This feeling of guilt and joy is wonderful!"

"Is this really a good idea? You'll probably get a nationwide arrest warrant from Rumin-san tomorrow, right?" Esther looked at this person who liked to court death with concern.

"Never mind! I want to change it!" She quickly swapped the gift in the other person's hand for another one in her own.

"Huh? Why change it?" Okura Rumin, her eyes wide with surprise.

But because they didn't understand its meaning, they didn't stop them.

"Really...? Do such pure-hearted people really exist in this world...?"

"Yes, I felt my own filth and depravity..."

"Huh? Is this person joking? Even I'm so embarrassed by that kind of thing..."

"Lord Justin, you can't talk about that kind of thing."

"Rumin-san... as expected of my Mirai older sister, she truly has the demeanor of a young lady from a wealthy family."

"..."

Feeling the strange, warm gazes around her, Okura Rumin felt a chill run down her spine. Why did she suddenly feel like the one with the shallow knowledge?

She glanced at Shiina Mahiru, Hoshino Ai, and Aoyama Nanami one by one, and found that they all blushed and turned their eyes away, avoiding her gaze.

She looked at Sakurakoji Talent for help. "Hey, what are they talking about?"

Sakurakoji Talent was torn between teasing her and not wanting to spoil her innocent charm.

I'll tell you later...

"Eh~~~"

"..."

After delivering the gift, following a similar process to yesterday, his apartment returned to its quiet state.

Shiina Mahiru will stay here for the night and return to Fuchu City tomorrow. However, she and Hoshino Ai expressed that they wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Ashiri tonight.

Even a pig could see right through their thoughts; they're just afraid he'll prevent them from working or studying tomorrow...

However, he could only say that they were overthinking it, because he had other plans for the evening.

The 64th floor of the Ten no Yashiro is Loft Apartment belonging to Okura Rumin.

"Ooh... Chirp... Hah..."

After a rather lengthy exchange, Sakurakoji Talent released the house owner, whose skin was now flushed red.

Her exquisite face, accentuated by the girl's Shy, hesitant manner, was made even more captivating and alluring.

Once a pure and innocent young lady, as pristine as a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, she is now taken and knows a great deal of forbidden knowledge...

The thought that all her current positive contributions were only for herself simultaneously gave him a sense of satisfaction and a wicked desire.

That's just how humans are; when they encounter something pure, they can't help but think in the opposite direction.

The light emitted by the warm-toned, high-end lamps is similar to the special colored lights on some streets at this moment.

He gently touched her delicate earlobe. "Rumin-jie ~ I don't want to go home tonight~"

"Ugh..." She shrank back, her words mumbled, "No, no, what if Ai and the others find out..."

"They said they're going to have a late-night talk with Ashiri today."

"..."

"Besides," he wrapped his arms around her waist, the exquisite sensation indescribable, "You seemed a little awkward around them last time, so let me help you out."

"How..." She was only halfway through her sentence when she realized what was going on, her IQ being dozens of times higher than the average person's, and the rest of her words were cut off.

Sakurakoji Talent smiled wickedly and began his actions.

He had been planning to do this a few days ago at the mansion, and her birthday was the perfect time!

Yes! Very memorable!

A few minutes later,

"No, no~ I still need to buy some things, otherwise..." she tried to make a final struggle.

Sakurakoji Talent smiled knowingly, "Rumin-jie ~ Have you opened the gift I gave you?"

"Not yet..."

"Then open it up and take a look."

"..."

A few minutes later,

In the empty room, only Sakurakoji Talent's voice could be heard. "Do you understand now?"

In a sense, he and the perverted woman were thinking the same thing.

However, she was just a smooth talker, only wanting to tease him. But he was different; he had many more things to consider.

"..."

After silently pinching him lightly, Okura Rumin didn't object. She simply lowered her body silently, left the sofa, and sat on the floor like a duck.

Although she was annoyed by his cunning, she didn't find it particularly surprising.

According to common social phenomena, many young people nowadays, on the very day they establish a romantic relationship,...

"Wait!" he suddenly exclaimed.

"Huh?" She looked at him, puzzled.

Instead of explaining, Sakurakoji Talent got up and looked around the house, finally finding his target on her bedroom desk—a pair of red-rimmed glasses without prescription lenses.

"I think this looks really good, and it would suit you perfectly, Rumin-jie. Would you like to try it on?"

"Talent ~ Jun... I understand."

Despite her sullen Rumin-san still indulgently agreed to her "little brother's" pleading.

Who could blame her? He was the man she had been secretly pursuing for the past ten years, the one she had always secretly loved.

By afternoon and evening, the rain outside had gradually subsided, and now even most of the dark clouds had dispersed, revealing the bright, clear moon after the rain.

Under the moon's watchful eye, tonight is destined to be extraordinary.

One hour later,

Having completed most of the plans, Sakurakoji Talent, exhausted, suggested to her, "It's stopped raining outside, why don't we go outside and take a look?"

"Ugh~ No~ I don't want to go out right now..."

Don't worry, you don't need to walk~

"Then what should we do...?"

Seeing him open a spatial Wormhole right in front of her, Okura Rumin suddenly felt relieved.

I almost forgot, he can't be considered a normal person right now...

He picked her up in a crooked position and didn't immediately enter the purplish-black Wormhole.

Noticing his frantic actions, Okura Rumin exclaimed, "Eh?! Just like that! No, no! Absolutely not! At least let me..."

"It's okay, there's no one there."

Before she could say anything more, he took a step forward—and arrived at an altitude of one thousand meters.

The chilly air and wind made him very worried that she might catch a cold, so he decided to finish quickly.

"Rumin ~ You seem really nervous right now~"

"Talent-kun... how tall is he?"

"About a kilometer?"

"Is that so...?"

"Hey? Don't faint!!"

"..."

Despite the many twists and turns, no matter what, at this moment, they were definitely the boys and girls closest to the moon.

Chapter 557 Solutions and Flirting

The next day,

Hanasakigawa still has exams all day long. The morning exam is on civics (politics, economy & ethics), and the afternoon exam is the written part of family studies.
