Machete Style Anime

She paused, then changed the subject: "I'm not feeling well, so I'm going to sleep a little longer. If there's nothing else in the future, I'll leave now."

This was, in effect, an order to leave.

However, since Kasugano Mirai already had the idea of ​​leaving, she took the opportunity to say, "Since Haruno-nee is not feeling well, I won't disturb your rest. I'll come to see you later."

He himself didn't think much of the subtle change in address and just said it naturally, but the young lady took it quite seriously.

"Even the way you address me has changed to be the same as in the dream?"

"I wonder when he'll regain his memories. When that happens, I'll bring him to Yukino, and I'm sure her expression will be quite something."

"Perhaps we should bring a video camera with us?"

……

Lost in her thoughts, the young lady couldn't resist the protests coming from all over her body. Her double eyelids gradually became as heavy as a thousand pounds, until at a certain moment, the sound of steady and long breathing filled the room.

"Meow meow~!"

"Hissing and snoring!"

Slurp slurp!

Watching the cat inhale like a starving ghost being reincarnated, Kurumi Tokisaki seemed to be deep in thought.

Then, she turned her gaze to Seven Sins: "Seven Sins, after Meow Meow finishes eating, use your ability to make it communicate with us."

The latter nodded without saying anything.

Even if Kurumi Tokisaki didn't say it, she had this intention.

Judging from the way Meow Meow looks like she's been reincarnated from a starving ghost, she must have gone without food for at least a day and a night to get this hungry.

So here's the question: Was my boyfriend home last night?

If you're at home, why didn't you feed the cat?

If you're not home, where have you been so late at night?

Meanwhile, Yoshino entered the bathroom under Yoshina's guidance.

Seeing the clothes in the basket, Yoshina looked at Yoshino and said, "It seems that Mirai-nii went home last night, but left in a hurry."

“Look at these clothes, there are signs that they have been rummaged through.”

"If I'm not mistaken, he must have received a phone call or a text message from someone before he went out."

Yoshino nodded.

She also noticed what Yoshina had said.

But that's what she can't understand either.

"In Chiba, besides me, Nanami, and Kurumi, who else could make Mirai-san rush out of the house after taking a shower without even having time to wash his clothes?"

"...Is it Yukinoshita?"

Chapter 149 The Truth Gradually Emerging [4k]

She said she would talk to the cat after it had eaten its fill, but in reality, Kurumi Tokisaki had Seven Sins use her powers just five minutes later and took away the cat's food bowl.

This wasn't her intentionally abusing the kitten.

As a devoted cat lover, how could she possibly abuse a cat?

It's simply because cats and dogs can't control their appetites well. If she doesn't keep an eye on things and lets the cat eat and drink to its heart's content, the little guy might even stuff himself to death.

It hadn't eaten all night, so a can of cat food, a small portion of cat food, and some water were enough to satisfy its appetite.

"Meow~~"

It was clear that the little guy was very unhappy that his food bowl had been taken away. He stood up straight and bared his teeth and claws at the culprit.

This made Kurumi Tokisaki burst into laughter.

Appearance can influence a person's initial judgment.

No matter how fierce the cat looks, it's still just a kitten a few months old. Its bared teeth and claws don't look scary at all; instead, they're kind of cute and fierce.

Just as Meow Meow was protesting to the three two-legged creatures in the room in Meow Star language, a green light appeared in the room, and the little guy found that he could speak again.

"My food!"

"..."

Upon hearing Miao Miao's first words, not only the three girls, but even the cat rolled its eyes in a very human-like manner.

"Eat, eat, eat until you die!"

After giving a curt reply, the cat found a shady spot, curled up into a ball of orange fur, and started to sleep.

Cats like to rest in warm places in winter, but in summer they prefer to find shady places instead.

Distracted by the cat, Kurumi Tokisaki found an opportunity to ask, "Meow, can you tell us what happened last night?"

"Didn't the future feed you?"

Upon hearing the question, Meow Meow did not answer, but kept glancing at the rice bowl in Tokisaki Kurumi's hand.

This made the latter both annoyed and amused: "Alright, alright, I'll give you a can of cat food after you finish asking your questions."

With the reward, Meow Meow immediately perked up.

Before Kurumi Tokisaki could ask any more questions, it blurted out all the information it knew.

"Last night, the pet owner came home at about the same time as usual, and then took a shower."

"Everything was fine before, but problems started after I took a shower."

“I saw him holding that…that…oh right, it was a cell phone.”

"I saw him hurriedly leave the bathroom with his phone in his hand, then start getting dressed and changing his shoes, and he went out less than ten minutes later."

"He went out and hasn't come back yet."

At that moment, Seven Sins came out of the bedroom, carrying a standard high school student's backpack.

"Kurumi, it seems that hentai's problem isn't just staying out all night; he didn't even go to school today."

"Do you think something unexpected might happen?"

Upon hearing this, Kurumi Tokisaki didn't react yet, but Yoshino, standing on the other side, was already starting to feel nervous: "Then let's split up and go find Mirai-nii!"

In the end, Yoshino persuaded her: "Yoshino, don't rush. There's no rush to take action after listening to Kurumi's thoughts."

"Miss Kurumi, whether it was listening to Meow Meow recount what happened last night, or hearing Miss Seven Sins speculate that the future brother might have had an accident, your expression has remained calm. Could it be that you know something?"

In short, both children looked at Kurumi Tokisaki.

The latter first shook its head, then nodded slightly under the gaze of the two people and the rabbit.

Before they could ask any questions, the person involved had already spoken up to explain: "I don't know what happened last night, but I can deduce some things."

"Yoshino and Nanami also know that before Mirai transfers to Chiba, he doesn't know anyone here except us."

"For a while after I transferred schools, apart from the landlord, we were basically the only people who knew me."

"According to Miaomiao, she rushed out the door after suddenly receiving the message last night."

"Do you think, besides us, how many people in Chiba right now could make him do this?"

Seven Sins gave an affirmative answer: "Besides us, there are only a few members of the Service Department."

Tokisaki Kurumi smiled without saying a word.

At this moment, Yoshino timidly asked, "Has Nanami forgotten about Ms. Yukinoshita that we saw at the police station?"

"Didn't you say that she was following me and Future Brother back then?"

"Uh…"

Upon hearing this, Seven Sins' little face turned awkward.

Can she say that she forgot?

Fortunately, at this moment, Kurumi Tokisaki chimed in on Yoshino's words, indirectly helping her out of the predicament; otherwise, she really would have run away.

"Yoshino is right, there is also Yukinoshita Haruno."

"There are four members in total. We can get the answer by using a simple process of elimination."

"The other three members of the Service Department will spend about the same amount of time with each other in the future, and they will also part ways around the same time."

"No matter how urgent the future may be, because we have only recently separated, we still have time to send each other a text message to let each other know."

"But here's the problem—he didn't even send a text message."

"Under what circumstances do you think we'll no longer have time to even send text messages?"

Having said that, both Nanami and Yoshino immediately understood what Kurumi Tokisaki was trying to say.

However, the two had different opinions on this.

"Kurumi, could this guess be wrong?"

Despite Seven Sins' frequent use of the vulgar term "hentai," she still genuinely trusts her boyfriend in this situation.

"We can see from what happened with Xiaoqiong last time that hentai would never hide something from us like this."

"Besides, we don't object to him finding other people, so he has no reason to do such a thing."

Yoshino followed her friend's lead: "I also think that Mirai-nii would never do something like this behind our backs. He's not that kind of person."

Seeing how protective the two girls were of her boyfriend, Kurumi Tokisaki gave a smile that was hard to tell whether it was one of relief or helplessness: "It seems that Nanami and Yoshino have misunderstood me."

"I only suspected that something had happened between Mirai and that Miss Yukinoshita, I didn't say that he had something to hide."

Her words not only failed to dispel the two children's confusion, but instead made them feel even more lost.

Seeing their expressions, Kurumi Tokisaki knew they still hadn't understood her, so she expressed her thoughts in another way: "Have Yoshino and Nanami forgotten how we tricked them into revealing their future plans?"
