Chapter 304 Please Get Married Right Here!
Kazama Sakura had no intention of going along.

In her view, the relationship between the three people was already abnormal enough, and forcing themselves to appear in front of each other's mother seemed a bit too abnormal.

Moreover, although Asagiri Rin's mother seems very kind and approachable, Kazama Sakura actually feels an instinctive fear of her presence, for reasons unknown.

It's probably related to the subtle atmosphere.

Of course, Asagiri Rin did not specifically invite Kazama Sakura to join her.

What would she do if she went? Besides proving that the relationship between the three of them was temporarily stable, she couldn't do anything. In fact, forcibly proving this would only cause her to lose the ease she should have felt. She didn't like doing such things; such superficial gestures meant nothing to her.

Furthermore, this is not the way to express goodwill towards Kazama Sakura; it looks more like showing off.

However, the girl didn't take it too seriously; in her view, it was fair.

After all, Gen Tsukino had met his mother, and his mother trusted him a lot. As for the difference in their social status, wasn't that something that existed from the beginning?

These things didn't happen because of Tsukino Gen.

So, having already prepared herself mentally, there was no need for her to be pretentious, and the entire afternoon's 'club activities' went very normally.

As for club activities, for this club, wasting time is the most fitting activity.

When he got into the familiar black car, Tsukino Gen took a special look at the woman in front of him.

Morita Kaoru remained the same, meticulously carrying out her work, seemingly unconcerned about anything except the girl's safety.

Gen Tsukino, on the other hand, appeared very relaxed.

"Long time no see, Morita-neechan."

He even greeted her cheerfully, and although he himself meant no harm, Morita Kaoru perceived it as a provocation.

After all, she knew perfectly well about the secret between the boy and her sister, as well as the complicated relationship between him and the young lady, and his behavior seemed as if he wasn't worried at all about her bringing it all to light.

Isn't this a provocation?
However, she seemed to have no way to do anything about it. Her personality meant she didn't want to meddle in other people's business, and she couldn't bear to see her younger sister worry about the boy's 'safety'.

This is terrible! The worst kind of man in the world is this kind of stinky man!
It seems there's nothing to regret about not having any dating experience.

"Ah."

Her response was cold, much like her current mood; she didn't want to have anything to do with this boy. It was unclear whether this feeling was simply dislike and anger, or perhaps a hidden fear.

His uniqueness is obvious to all. When a person is looking at a whirlpool, they probably don't want to get stuck in it and see if they have a chance to swim out, right?

Are you close to Morita?

As soon as Tsukino Gen finished speaking, Asagiri Rin, who had boarded the car first, gave him a cold look.

In the past, I would pretend to care about this boy, or rather, to control him.

Once certain boundaries are truly crossed, it seems there's no need to hide them anymore.

After all, he was Asagiri Rin, and everything about him was special. He must understand these meanings, so there was no point in hiding it.

So if you're unhappy, just say it directly, lest the boy really think he's some kind of obedient pet.

She could never become a kind and understanding girl like Kazama Sakura; she was destined to be pampered and spoiled her whole life, always having little temper tantrums.

Even if it makes people dislike him, even if it makes him want to give up on himself, it is still a great loss for this young man.

She has that kind of confidence.

Gen shrugged. "It's alright. After all, I see them all the time, so it's hard to pretend I don't know them."

The girl squinted at him and whispered in his ear, "You better not think that just because you've got me, you can start targeting the people around me."

"Speaking of which, you only have Morita-neechan and your mother by your side."

"Ok?"

A dangerous aura immediately spread, and Tsukino Gen seemed to see frost forming in her eyes.

Of course, the next moment the boy reached out and took her hand.

"Just kidding, do I look like such an ungrateful person?"

"When have you ever been content? You're like a glutton."

"You even know about Taotie?"

"Tsukino Gen, have I been too nice to you lately?"

A textbook-level threat is a harbinger of her anger.

But Tsukino Gen always has all sorts of bizarre ways to deal with her.

For example, like now, she can switch to a deeply affectionate demeanor, displaying acting skills comparable to Mochizuki Mihime.

"You've always been good to me, and I remember it all."

Deep affection can sometimes be absurd, a truth that Asagiri Rin first grasped through Tsukino Gen.

There's a limit to being malicious. Who gave you permission to talk like that?

It's outrageous to say such things in such a manner and under such circumstances.

Should we take it seriously or not?

So the blame can only be placed on this boy, who is cunning and handsome, it's practically a crime.

Gen Tsukino nodded, his fingers gently caressing the other's soft palm.

When observing a girl, you should not only look into her eyes but also feel the warmth of her palms to accurately judge her emotions.

"Then I'll be more careful in the future."

His smile was gentle.

But he still shows no remorse. Even a fool could tell that he would do the same thing again next time, but what could he do?

It would be best if he could continue to be shameless and shameless like this, at least his future life wouldn't be boring.

The car quickly arrived at its destination, and Tsukino Gen got out first, this time directly taking over Morita Kaoru's job by helping to open the car door.

Morita Kaoru glared at Tsukino Gen. It wasn't jealousy, but she just found him inexplicably annoying; in just a short time, he'd made her uncomfortable several times. Without that face, he'd probably be the type everyone disliked.

Asagiri Rin didn't notice anything until the other person naturally took her hand and led her to the door.

She glanced hesitantly at Tsukino Gen.

This doesn't seem like something he would do, since he sometimes seems really timid, like not daring to admit to his mother that their relationship wasn't actually that complicated.

But then, at times like these, I suddenly become a little braver. Is it an attempt to surprise myself with this contrast?
Humph.

I'm not so easily pleased by this.

She's not the kind of cat that ignores its owner when eating cat food, but then circles around their legs whenever they open a can of food.

"Let's go?"

He said with a smile.

Asagiri Rin took back what she was about to say, nodded slightly, and then started walking.

This was her insistence—to walk ahead of the young man, so that it would appear as if she were pulling him along, rather than him leading her.

They walked hand in hand through the gate, past the flower-filled courtyard, and into the front hall.

When these two seemingly perfect, youthful young people appeared before Asagiri Jun, her slightly surprised gaze naturally fell on their clasped hands.

But they quickly acted as if nothing had happened.

"You came back pretty quickly today."

Asagiri Rin was actually starting to think about letting go. No matter what she thought, doing something like this in front of her mother felt somewhat childish.

Just like the first time you defy your parents' orders after growing up, it's a manifestation of a boring rebellious phase.

Although she hadn't thought of it that way.

"well enough."

Her answer was rather bland, but Tsukino Gen smiled and said, "I heard that Auntie was going to invite me to dinner, so I didn't dare to be negligent and came over immediately."

He still had that familiar sycophantic look.

"Is he like this with all beautiful women?" Asagiri Rin wondered.

Asagiri Jun stood up with a smile and walked closer. Tsukino Gen clearly felt Asagiri Rin's hand tighten slightly.

It seemed to be struggling, wanting to let go, but subconsciously holding on tighter.

Gen Tsukino wasn't annoyed by her hesitation and wavering at this moment; on the contrary, he found it rather endearing.

how to say.

So you're the type who gets more shy the closer someone gets?

"But it seems like your relationship is getting better and better?"

This is clearly mischievous. When have you ever seen your daughter holding hands with a boy? They've never even walked this close.

The last time I remember her getting this close to a boy was when she made someone else's child cry.

She didn't seem helpless at all; instead, she looked disgusted and said that the boy was too weak by crying, which made him cry even louder.

Thinking of this, Jun Asagiri's smile became even gentler.

Gen Tsukino replied with a smile, "People are meant to understand and connect with each other."

"But some people who try to understand each other end up drifting further apart."

"That's because the other person isn't good enough, and their background isn't pretty. As for a girl like Asagiri, if you only think she's scary, that's a huge loss. The closer you get, the more you'll realize how lovely she really is."

"Shut up!"

Asagiri Rin couldn't help but pinch the other person's tiger's mouth hard, a spot that wouldn't hurt at all.

This is also one of the tendernesses she doesn't express aloud.

"Hahaha, Rin is angry."

Asagiri Jun said with a smile.

Gen Tsukino indifferently let go of her hand, "That's part of what I like about her; she's cute even when she's angry."

"You still said that!"

Asagiri Rin felt like a toy in front of the two of them, as if they would be happy no matter how they teased her.

But damn it.
She didn't dislike the feeling; she appeared angry, but there was no real anger in her heart.

Is this considered self-discipline?

No.

I will never be tamed by him.

Love can exist, but she absolutely will not allow him to unconditionally dominate her emotionally; that is her bottom line.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."

Gen Tsukino knew when to stop.

Asagiri Jun smiled as she looked at the two of them, observing a look of anger on her daughter's face that she had never seen before, the kind of anger that a normal girl would have.

They also saw the genuine doting tenderness in the boy's eyes.

He made a heartfelt remark.

"Can you get married right after graduating from high school? I can help with the arrangements."
