Chapter 346

A scene of a man and a woman walking in the rain, sharing an umbrella...

Isn't that something only romance comics have storylines?

Perhaps, to others, she and the Lord Sage appear to be a couple right now?

No, no, no...

You can't think like that!

Master and Lord Sage are the perfect match; any other pairing is heretical!

Dekomori Sanae kept telling herself this, but the heartbeat she heard in her ear grew even more intense.

"Sanae."

"Ah... ah, Lord Sage, what's wrong?"

The sudden address startled her like a rabbit.

"It's partly because of me that your hair clip broke, Sanae. As compensation, I'll give you a new one."

"Eh... eh?"

"What, you don't want it?"

"No, no... I really want it!"

He wasn't going to give her any carefully chosen gift; he just randomly picked a small shop, had Sanae choose a hair clip she liked, and bought it for her.

Even so, when she received the hair clip, the girl was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, and she held it to her heart with both hands.

"I will cherish the treasure given to me by the Lord Sage!"

"I'm glad you like it."

Afterwards, the two parted ways near the Dekumori residence.

Dekomori Sanae stared blankly at the departing figure.

She had always kept a secret hidden in her heart, concealing her true feelings.

Perhaps, at first, her admiration and adoration for the Lord Sage was just that—admiration. But somehow, that feeling transformed into... a desire to be his bride.

She had always been reluctant to get involved, not because of the mater's presence, but because of her own shyness.

But she's no longer that little middle school kid.

She was about to move forward as well.

"I'm sorry, Master, I've made up my mind. The only Lord Sage I cannot give up is the Sage!"

Dekomori Sanae pinned the hair clips to both sides, then muttered to herself with a resolute look in her eyes.

Volume 4: 43 Among everyone, who is your favorite?

In a group chat.

Thunder Hammer User: I have completed the Lord Sage's Trial! I have also advanced to Rank Three!

Dekomori Sanae posted a selfie of herself in full power, the flowing golden lightning highlighting her extraordinary presence, making her look like a thunder Saintess who could wield lightning at will.

At this time, the organization members were all relatively free, so they saw the message and replied.

Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King User: Congratulations, Servant, you have lived up to my expectations and kept up with my pace.

morisummer: Pshaw, what's so great about that, Little Dot? I've been one for ages.

Spirit Channeling: I'm so envious, no wonder you're a senior.

Fallen Holy Black Cat: The progress is so fast, I need to work harder too.

Ice Queen: Indeed, our progress is still too slow.

Royal Guard. Hui: Congratulations.

Seeing the comments from everyone, some congratulating her and others marveling at her, Dekomori Sanae's vanity was greatly satisfied.

After so much hard work, we've finally achieved good results and maintained our ranking.

However, Morisummer was still above her, so she couldn't retaliate.

But there's one person she won't let go.

Thunder Hammer User: Huh, where did the Witch go? Could she be hiding in fear?

Thunder Hammer User: There's no need for that at all; it's just that I won again.

Thunder Hammer User: Sigh, it seems you'll be living in the shadow of the Thunder Hammer User for the rest of your life.

Greedy Witch: Get out!

Natsukawa Masuzu's concise response made everyone who saw the message laugh, as if they could see her resentful yet helpless expression.

"Oh."

Hasegawa Izumi happened to see this message and chuckled softly.

After all, even they were annoyed by M Liang's behavior, so they were happy to see the girl get her comeuppance.

Immediately afterwards, the girl went lurking in the group chat and launched a text message offensive.

Unlike her public persona, she acted like a wronged, submissive wife, a stark contrast.

M Liang: Club President ~! I've been bullied! Look, they're all laughing at me!

M Liang: Club President, you're showing favoritism! If this continues, I'll stop liking you!

M Liang: o(>

M Liang: I need a hug from the Club President, or even just a voice message to comfort me.

"What on earth is this guy doing, acting all cute..."

Hasegawa Izumi chuckled to herself.

However, she definitely looks cuter this way than before.

It's a wonderful sense of contrast.

Seeing M Liang's pitiful appearance, he didn't pretend not to see it and comforted her a couple more times, saying that he had done some divination for her and that a good opportunity for a breakthrough was coming soon. After that, M Liang sent a bunch of happy and grateful emojis, becoming more and more boisterous.

The appointed day arrived quickly.

Hasegawa Izumi knocked on the door, and her Little Sister came out of her room.

"Kōko, are you ready?"

"Kukuku, my My other half, my Dark Power is already boiling over!"

"It's just a trip out to have fun, not a trip to fight."

"As the ruler of the night, I am most vulnerable under the scorching sun, and those vampire hunters will certainly not let this opportunity pass..."

He just smiled and walked out the door.

Kōko followed closely behind, holding a black umbrella and dressed in Gothic clothing. Her attire wasn't particularly revealing; last year, she would have been meowing in the heat, but now she seemed perfectly at ease.

"Hmph, the power of the sun can no longer suppress us, the Night Blood Clan."

She muttered to herself smugly.

After some time, they arrived at the outskirts of a private airport.

After discussing it, the girls decided to travel to a private resort island for their beach trip, which required a private jet to transport them there.

He and his Little Sister weren't the last to arrive; most of the girls had already gathered before them.

However, in addition to the regular characters, new characters have appeared.

She was petite, about the same size as Sanae, with the same hair color as Chika-chan, and wore somewhat childish twin tails. She was lively chatting with the others.

"Brother Quan~!"

As soon as Hasegawa Izumi arrived at the scene, the girl, looking excited, ran straight over, shouting as she went.

"Here we go again!"

Kōko's expression instantly turned alert. She stepped forward, blocking the other person's path, and said agitatedly, "Don't call me 'brother'!"

"Huh, why?"

The girl tilted her head, placed her finger next to her chin, and looked puzzled.

"You're asking why... because my brother can only have one Little Sister!"

Kōko puffed out her cheeks.

This remark made the onlookers laugh.

"Oh~ You must be Izumi-nii's biological Little Sister, Kōko? This is our first time meeting, please take care of me in the future!"

The girl, however, acted as if she knew him well, reaching out her hand with an innocent and carefree expression.

"Ah... uh."

Kōko was still overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and stood there awkwardly stunned.

"That's great, Kōko, you have such a wonderful older brother, unlike me, who only has two useless older sisters."

The girl sighed, a look of disappointment on her face.

"Hey, am I really that useless?!"

Beside her, Fujiwara Chika looked at the others with a very aggrieved expression and asked.

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded silently.

The promised support was completely useless!

"Waaaaah..."

Fujiwara Chika then burst into tears.

"It's been a long time, Brother Quan! Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

The girl turned her head again, casting an admiring glance.

"Moeha, it's been a long time indeed."

"Hasegawa Izumi thought for a moment and said..."

As Chika-chan -Chika-chan's Little Sister, he had met her a few times a long time ago when they played games together, and he remembered her as a very likable child.

"Hehe, actually I've always wanted to meet Brother Quan. Last year, my sister often told me stories about how she and Brother Quan worked together seamlessly, overcoming numerous obstacles..."

"Stop calling me brother!"

Moeha's shy demeanor once again displeased Kōko.

This description of her sister drew Byakugan from the others.

I just joined the cast for a basketball game, how did you become the main character?

Fujiwara Chika's lips seemed to form a wave shape, she poked at each other with her index fingers, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

At this moment, the last member arrived.

"Eriri, you're just in time! We should get going, we can't keep the flight crew waiting too long!"

"???"

Amid Eriri's bewildered expression, she enthusiastically rushed over and took her arm.

The group began to move.

"By the way, Quan-gege, who is your favorite person among everyone?"

As they were walking, Moeha suddenly stood on tiptoe and whispered a question in his ear.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

The girl thought she was speaking softly, but to others, it was very clear.
