The Club Members' Coordinated Marking Is a Battlefield of Love.

"Why."

He sighed helplessly.

"Then let's put it another way, Club President."

Natsukawa Masuzu raised her slender fingers, glanced at him, and smiled.

"If you saved a beautiful woman, and she said she wanted to repay you with her body, what would the Club President think?"

"That means I'm handsome, and that woman was attracted to me. Normally, she should be begging to be her slave in her next life."

He looked arrogant.

"Now everyone understands, right?"

The Silver-haired Witch's expression was strained; she tapped her head with her fingers and spread her hands.

"Oh."

Everyone's expressions suggested a sudden realization.

"I feel that your current thinking is somewhat offensive."

He narrowed his eyes.

"How could that be?"

"This is all your misconception Seeker of Truth."

"How could I possibly feel offended by Lord Sage?"

The three girls immediately looked flustered.

"Really? I'll just use my mind-reading ability to find out."

He made a feigned threat.

"Wait! Seeker of Truth, this is an invasion of your privacy!"

Nibuya Morika accused him.

"Yes!"

Takanashi Rikka and Dekomori Sanae quickly added their own comments.

He immediately smiled.

Natsukawa Masuzu, however, went a step further, revealing an expectant look in her eyes and pursing her lips as she said, "Club President, would you like to read my heart?"

"I was just kidding... Besides, when you're prepared, your true feelings might not be what you really think."

He immediately rejected it.

"That's such a pity. If the Club President could understand my Girlish Heart, he would be very surprised, wouldn't he?"

Natsukawa Masuzu turned her head slightly, her fingers twirling her silver-white hair as if she were joking with ease. However, her ears, which were previously hidden by her long hair, were now burning red.

For a girl who isn't outspoken, it's too early to completely open up about her inner thoughts.

Afterwards, Hasegawa Izumi took the train home.

Just as he approached the courtyard, he heard the sound of chopping coming from inside. Something occurred to him, so he concealed his presence and quietly entered.

In the courtyard, the blonde, blue-eyed little girl stared intently at the female swordsman wielding a long sword in the center of the courtyard. Her movements were elegant yet swift, agile yet fierce, and the falling leaves on the trees were broken in the air by the slashing air.

After a long while, a set of sword techniques was completed.

The purple-haired female swordsman with her single ponytail sheathed her sword and exhaled a breath that was like mist.

"That's amazing!"

Kōko couldn't find the right adjectives to describe or praise the exquisite nature of this sword technique, so she could only express her emotions with enthusiastic applause.

"It's nothing special, you're still far behind your brother."

Busujima Saeko remained calm, showing little emotional fluctuation.

In her view, it was perfectly normal to be inferior to Hasegawa.

"Hmph! My other half would never normally grant my request!"

The Kōko pouted, looking indignant.

"Is that so? Won't you secretly look?"

"I have never seen my My other half cultivate. My other half, aren't you? He was born that strong! You humans couldn't possibly cultivate to that level."

"Perhaps Izumi-kun was born strong, but he has definitely been training all along, it's just that no one can see it... Izumi-kun, when did you come back?"

As the two were chatting, suddenly a pair of hands quietly landed on Xiaojiu's shoulders Kōko behind.

"Kōko, are you talking about me behind my back?"

Hasegawa Izumi whispered in her Little Sister's ear, like a devil's whisper.

"How... how could this be? My brother is so good to me..."

Kōko's voice trembled with fear, her expression was awkward, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Oh."

He chuckled softly, raised his head, and ruffled his Little Sister's blonde hair with one hand, saying, "Busujima Senpai is right. I have never slacked off in my training, nor am I 'secretly working hard to amaze everyone.' In fact, at my level, I have integrated training into my life, which means that I am training every moment."

"Isn't that cheating?!"

Kōko said loudly.

"Such an exaggerated thing, if it were Izumi-kun, he certainly could do it."

Busujima Saeko was slightly surprised, but then accepted.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to become that strong.

"Brother, I want one too!"

"No, everyone has their own limits. Forcing a breakthrough will only be counterproductive, and most people can't comprehend such a level."

"Ah! How could this be!"

The Little Sister's ambition to quickly become the True Ancestor Vampire was soon shattered.

Soon, Busujima Saeko continued her training.

After giving a few pointers, Hasegawa Izumi...

"Well then, Busujima Senpai, I'll go inside now and call you for dinner."

"Arigato".

The three of them gathered together again for dinner.

"Izumi-kun's cooking skills are really that good, it's really embarrassing."

Busujima Senpai, who considered herself to have exceptional Feminine Power, once again felt a deep sense of admiration.

She had originally planned to repay the kindness shown to her with her excellent cooking this morning, but after tasting the breakfast, she hesitated and now completely rejected the idea.

Such thoughts quickly disappeared from her mind, and her attention returned to what was in front of her.

The brother and sister chatted and laughed at the dinner table, and their interaction today gave her a feeling she had never experienced before...

How to describe it?

That's right, it's -- cozy.

Is this how family members should interact?

Busujima Saeko lowered her head, her expression somewhat gloomy, her heart filled with bitterness.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were few.

The balcony of the living room on the second floor.

Busujima Saeko looked up at the night sky, her eyes filled with loneliness.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded from behind.

"It seems like you're still in a bad mood, senior."

Hasegawa Izumi walked to her side.

"No, actually I'm quite happy to be living under the same roof as Izumi-kun Kōko... I'm quite envious."

Busujima Saeko speaks her mind.

"Oh, I see. Then, senior, don't think too much about it for now. Just focus on getting better."

"I'm really useless; I need encouragement from the younger generation."

"Didn't my senior say those kinds of things yesterday?"

There was a long silence.

"I've discovered something."

Busujima Saeko turned her head, suddenly smiled freely, and there was a hint of flirtatiousness in the corner of her eye.

"Izumi-kun, you're quite cunning after all."

Izumi Segawa avoided answering and looked up at the sky.

After a while, the conversation continued.

"Izumi-kun, tomorrow's the weekend, right? I need to ask you for a favor."

"What's up?"

"I'm not used to wearing the same clothes all the time at home... so, please."

Chapter 9: The collective surveillance by the group members is a battlefield.

On the weekend, at a shopping center two kilometers away from the Hasegawa family.

Hasegawa Izumi walked to the intersection, holding her younger Little Sister's hand, while a tall, purple-haired senior walked beside her.

Yesterday, Busujima Senpai asked to go shopping together for some necessities for women. Considering that she was unfamiliar with the area and had no money, he agreed and also invited Kōko to come along.

"So many humans! Just like ants!"

Kōko, who rarely goes out with her brother, turned pale upon seeing the crowds around them.

"Because there's a discount event today."

He answered lazily.

Besides saving money, the main purpose was, of course, to temper my younger Little Sister's temper.

"Izumi-kun is truly thrifty and good at managing the household; I should learn from you."

Busujima Saeko smiled, her eyes narrowing, and praised her.

As a traditional woman who deeply understands the ways of being a wife, she is also constantly examining her own shortcomings.

After purchasing some necessary daily necessities, the three went to a women's specialty store.

"Welcome, guest."

A shop assistant came over to greet us.

"Izumi-kun, I plan to buy at least two sets of clothes to change into... As for the borrowed money, I'll pay you back later."

She whispered in his ear.

"Um."

Hasegawa Izumi nodded and turned to her Little Sister, saying, "Kōko, just do what you like."

OK.

Kōko blurted out a phrase in English, then eagerly headed to the other side to find the new clothes she wanted.

Hasegawa Izumi sat down on a cushion nearby and took out her phone to start scrolling through messages.
