I practiced as a monk alone in Japan.

Chapter 131 I am the light!
Although Morita Kaoru doesn't really understand what it feels like to be in a romantic relationship between a man and a woman.

However, she knew very well that people always have a desire for control and possession when faced with things they like. And clearly, the young lady she served and took care of was even more extreme in this regard.

Regardless of what she knew in her heart that there could be no possibility between her and Tsukino Gen.

However, this behavior was somewhat inappropriate; at the very least, she should have obtained her permission beforehand. But there was no other way. Given the sudden situation, she was worried about her sister and couldn't possibly inform her beforehand. It would even make her seem like she was trying to cover something up.
What is this bastard trying to do?

She hadn't even started questioning him yet, and she'd even invited him to dinner, and now he was already threatening her?

Seeing Morita Kaoru's immediately somewhat sulky expression, Tsukino Gen couldn't help but laugh.

Undeniably, she was meticulous in her work, fulfilling all her duties. For example, she wasn't overly curious, never interrupted, never disobeyed the young lady's orders, and always kept a close eye on the young lady's safety.

But outside of work, he acts like a child who hasn't grown up.

She's so pure; it's completely out of place with her face and figure, or rather, it's a form of contrast.

"It's nothing, just a reminder. Think carefully before you speak, and don't be impulsive, stay calm."

Seeing that the boy had returned to his usual calm and composed demeanor, Morita Kaoru breathed a slight sigh of relief.

While I wouldn't be swayed by such a low-level threat, he was far too audacious. Even the young lady seemed to be under his control. I should indeed be more composed and handle this matter concerning my sister properly.

After that, Morita Kaoru didn't speak hastily, seemingly lost in thought, before the restaurant started serving the food. Large skewers were served with kimchi-like side dishes.

It looks quite appetizing.

Since he didn't have to pay for it himself, the young man didn't feel any pain and started spending money without hesitation.

Morita Kaoru ate slowly; in the time it took her to finish one skewer, Tsukino Gen had already gone down three. He wasn't afraid of getting burned, nor did he care about leaving oil stains on his face. His demeanor seemed quite casual, as if he wasn't taking this dinner seriously.

But it made Morita Kaoru feel relaxed.

It didn't seem like a confrontational situation, but rather a long-awaited reunion between friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.

After thinking about it, she decided to take the initiative to speak.

"You know now, right?"

"what?"

"Chika is my younger sister."

she says.

Gen Tsukino wiped his mouth with a tissue and took a sip of tea to cleanse his palate of the greasy taste.

"To be honest, I only confirmed it today."

"So you're saying you had a suspicion before?"

Gen Tsukino didn't intend to hide anything. "I did get to know Officer Morita quite early on because of some things, but you should have known about our contact back then, right?"

This rhetorical question is not without merit.

After all, Asagiri Rin had specifically called to remind her back then. Asagiri Rin certainly wouldn't bother to investigate these things herself; it was only possible that Morita Kaoru did it for her. Therefore, she must know that after Yamazaki Jihei's incident, her sister was among the police officers who came to investigate, and that she would have had contact with her.

Kaoru Morita did not deny it, "Of course I knew at the time. I just thought it was just a formality, I didn't expect your contact to go this far."

This step?
What step is this? Why do you sound so disheartened and full of regret? Nothing irreversible has happened.

Tsukino Gen said, "Later, some minor things happened, which were coincidentally handled by her, so we had more opportunities to meet, but it wasn't as serious as you think."

The young man tried to comfort the woman, and this is precisely the problem many women face: they tend to overreact when things are just beginning to unfold. While in hindsight, many things may seem plausible, who can completely deny that their initial suspicions might have played a contributing role in the process?
"It's not that serious? She even changed her pants at your house!"

"."

Gen Tsukino immediately felt the gazes of the people at the surrounding tables, their eyes filled with a desire to gossip.

The boy looked at the other person helplessly, "Could you please speak a little quieter? Why don't you grab a megaphone and announce it to the whole audience?"

".Excuse me."

Kaoru Morita also realized that his voice was a bit loud and he was too excited, so much so that people around him could hear it.

Tsukino Gen's helplessness vanished in an instant.

They actually apologized sincerely?

This is a typical "one thing at a time" mentality, and they are quite clear about their grudges.

He was really dull.

"First of all, I was accompanying someone to sweep the tombs today when I happened to run into her. She suggested we have dinner together, and then she said she had something to discuss with me and went to my house. That's when a little thing happened, which led to this situation. But I can assure you that the kind of relationship you're worried about doesn't exist, and there was no inappropriate contact between us."

Is spanking considered excessive contact?

If we're talking about it, Tsukino Gen could be more magnanimous and let Morita Kaoru fight back for her sister.

Hearing Tsukino Gen's words, Morita Kaoru was not relieved, because she realized that the methods she used to judge others were completely ineffective with Tsukino Gen; she had no idea whether he was lying or telling the truth.

But she overheard a piece of information.

"Did she go to sweep the tombs today?"

"Yes. It should be to pay respects to your parents."

Why do you think it's our parents?

"It's very simple. A woman who seems indifferent to many things like her would probably not be allowed to go to the ancestral graves by anyone other than a close relative or even a regular relative."

"You seem to know her quite well."

Morita Kaoru spoke somewhat sarcastically, still feeling that the boy was lying or hiding something.

Gen Tsukino didn't care about these things. He looked regretful and said, "Speaking of paying respects to our parents, why did you all go together? If you had gone together, the accident that happened later wouldn't have happened. In the end, you also bear some responsibility."

"She didn't tell me beforehand, how was I supposed to know?"

"Aren't you sisters?"

"We are not sisters with a normal relationship."

Kaoru Morita was somewhat downcast.

This was something Tsukino Gen had already figured out, but he didn't intend to delve into the meaning of the story, just as he hadn't asked Morita Chinatsu who she came to worship during the day.

"That's interesting. Your relationship isn't exactly normal, and you're thinking of teaching me a lesson on her behalf?"

"There's no lesson learned."

"That is?"

"Just a warning."

She said seriously.

Gen Tsukino blinked. "Morita-neechan, have you always been this cute?"

".cute?"

Morita Kaoru subconsciously felt a strange evasiveness, unaware that it might be the shyness she had felt out of curiosity.

Gen Tsukino shook his head. "It's nothing. What are you trying to warn me about?"

Kaoru Morita considered her words carefully before speaking seriously.

"Your relationship with the young lady is already so unusual, I hope you'll stop flirting with my sister. A friendship is fine. Any more and I'm afraid the young lady might become jealous because of my womanizing ways." "Oh, so you're worried that because of me, this scumbag, flirting with other women, the young lady might become jealous of your sister and try to harm her. And you know your sister's personality well; she'll probably retaliate. So you hope I won't let that happen?"

Gen Tsukino summarized his own feelings.

Although Morita Kaoru didn't want to admit it, she nodded anyway, "Yes, it's good that you understand."

Gen Tsukino casually replied, "Sorry, I can't do that."

"Ok?"

Kaoru Morita was taken aback.

Is he still difficult to talk to? Or perhaps this young man has more ulterior motives and greater ambitions. He not only wants to climb the social ladder by marrying the young lady, but he also has his eye on the vibrant wildflowers by the roadside.
So abominable.

Gen Tsukino sighed helplessly at this moment.

"First of all, I never intended to cross the line with your sister. Today's incident was purely due to her own flawed thinking. Of course, I can control myself, just like when I'm dealing with the young lady, I'm not completely subservient to her."

"Weren't you two pulling each other?"

"Do you still understand this?"

Gen Tsukino looked at Kaoru Morita strangely, and Kaoru Morita avoided his gaze somewhat embarrassedly, saying, "I know a little."

Hmm. I read some manga and novels about youthful romance during my vacation these past two days. She understood Tsukino Gen's behavior a little better now; after all, the young lady was indeed the typical, not-so-frank, heroine.
But her answer made Tsukino Gen laugh.

"Regardless of what happened between Asagiri and me, you can see that I didn't provoke them. I also maintained respect for the police regarding your sister and didn't do anything inappropriate. The key issue is that your sister seems to think this is a fun game. That's why this accident happened today."

She had actually anticipated this to some extent.

My younger sister is a very stubborn person, and also a woman who is considered somewhat strange by others.

She wouldn't even glance at anything she wasn't interested in or disliked; it might even be destroyed outright. But she'd use any means necessary to get what she liked, just like how she developed a desire to become a police officer after that incident.

Then, in pursuit of this wish, they displayed an incomprehensible drive and persistence.

That's really typical of Chinatsu Morita.

But
"After all this talk, what exactly is this 'accident' you're referring to?"

"I can't believe it," Morita Kaoru asked curiously.

Gen Tsukino glanced at the other person. "You really want to hear this? I don't think your sister really wants you to know."

Now, Morita Kaoru knows that the words Morita Chinatsu hinted at to her at Tsukino Gen's house were most likely false, but she still can't think of any unexpected reason why she would come to deliver pants.

It's too ridiculous.

There are no similar plots in those comics, or maybe I haven't read enough?

It seems that the younger sister's privacy should be respected, but it's impossible for her to be completely unaware of her situation and not interfere even though she knows she's on a dangerous path.

"Please tell me, please."

Putting everything else aside, Morita Kaoru was the most polite woman Tsukino Gen had ever met.

It's like a strange android, with only one emotion for each thing, and it doesn't get mixed up by other things, which is inexplicably reasonable.

With this attitude, it's hard for Tsukino Gen to play tricks. Who says honest people always suffer? That's just because they haven't met a good person.

Gen Tsukino thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that your sister has a strange fetish. She always wants to be punished by me. I tried my best to refuse, and then she called me a cowardly turtle. So I pretended to discipline her and then she peed."

"."

"???"

Morita Kaoru opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

What kind of accident is this? Are you sure this isn't a made-up story? Surely no one could come up with such an outrageous story?

There were so many things to complain about that she didn't even know where to begin asking questions.

"She peed? No, what are you talking about?"

So that's why I need to change my pants? That seems reasonable, but what kind of lesson could make someone think this is a bit exaggerated?

Moreover, when she arrived, Chinatsu Morita did not seem to show any signs of going crazy or getting angry; in fact, she seemed a little smug.

These are the areas where her knowledge is lacking.

Gen Tsukino thought for a moment, then leaned forward. "If you really want to know, I'll explain it to you properly. Come closer."

".good."

With mixed feelings, Morita Kaoru leaned closer and listened as the boy spoke in her ear about knowledge from a completely unexpected field.

Her expression changed from confusion to shock, and finally to obvious shyness with her eyes darting away.

When Gen Tsukino calmly distanced himself, Kaoru Morita was still not recovered, as if he had wandered off to another world.

I was unable to calm down for a long time.

She couldn't believe it.

According to Gen Tsukino, his younger sister would be this kind of person.

She still remembers how gratified she was when she saw her sister's photo the moment her sister became a police officer.

She felt that her life was destined to be like this. Fortunately, the Morita Chinatsu she protected was on the right track and would have a bright, or at least normal, future.

But how did it become like this?
Why would she choose a boy several years younger than her, someone who is still in school, and do it in this way?
Seeing Morita Kaoru's expression, Tsukino Gen took a sip of tea and offered words of comfort.

"Don't think this is too serious. There must be some past stories between you two that led her to choose this way to release her repressed emotions. Actually, it's quite normal, and this kind of fetish is not uncommon. Don't treat it as some serious mental illness, and it hasn't affected your sister's daily life or work."

Hearing Tsukino Gen's words, Morita Kaoru's mood calmed down a little.

She looked at Gen Tsukino.

"Those things."

"Don't get me wrong, I think it's best not to tell me about your past. I'm thinking very simply right now. The less you know, the shallower the relationship will be. If you tell me some dramatic and tragic story, I might feel sorry for her and get closer to her, which wouldn't be good."

"It wouldn't come to that."

"So the conclusion is obvious: instead of focusing on me, you should target your sister. Don't treat me like some monster; in fact, most of the time, I'm understanding and kind."

The technique was good, practically perfect.

Morita Kaoru looked at the exceptionally handsome young man in front of her with a strange expression.

"That's a scumbag too."

Gen Tsukino shrugged.

"You can't call me a scumbag just because I always try to please girls and make them want to get close to me."

"What do you call me?"

"Too many girls live in darkness, they yearn for light, and so they can't help but move closer to me. So you can call me 'Light'."

"."

He's not only a scumbag, he also has a serious illness!
