Machete Style Anime

"How about I call Seven Sins up here and have her help translate what the cat means?"

The Seven Sins certainly don't speak cat language, but the Mirror of a Thousand Transformations can translate cat sounds into a language that humans can understand.

So Kasugano Mirai quickly changed her tune: "Well... I was just making a trivial joke with the cat. It's just that it's too narrow-minded."

Kurumi Tokisaki chuckled and didn't dwell on the topic: "Mirai-san, go and keep Yoshino and Nanami company. I'll go and calm Neko's emotions down. I'll go down later."

"Ah."

……

……

……

Ten minutes later, Tokisaki Kurumi casually entered the living room and sat down opposite Kasugano Mirai.

"Mirai-san, I heard from Yoshino and Nanami that you've joined a club?"

Kasugano Mirai handed the game controller to Yoshino, indicating that she should play with Nanami, while she herself started chatting with Tokisaki Kurumi.

"I had some problems with my essay during spring break, and my homeroom teacher forced me to join that club."

Upon hearing this, a hint of curiosity flashed in Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes: "As far as I know, Mirai-san has never been interested in club activities."

"Even if you're threatened by the teacher to join a club, you'll most likely be a ghost member. Why would you actively participate in club activities?"

Kasugano Mirai rubbed her temples, looking a bit troubled, and said, "Because the president is a very serious person, if I really become a ghost member, I'm bound to clash with her."

"Since I'm just killing time anyway, participating in club activities is like adding spice to my life."

"she?"

The girl keenly noticed the word.

"The club president is a girl?"

In Japanese, the pronunciation of "she" and "he" is different, and Kasugano Mirai did indeed say "she" instead of "he" just now.

"Ah."

Kasugano Mirai nodded, readily admitting it.

Walk uprightly and sit properly.

He hasn't done anything wrong, so there's no need for him to hide it.

Hearing his words, Nanami and Yoshino, who were playing a game, couldn't help but slow down their movements.

They may appear to be still playing the game, but it's unclear how much of their attention is actually still on it.

Noticing the two children's reaction, Tokisaki Kurumi raised an eyebrow slightly and asked casually, "According to the tropes in light novels, the president wouldn't happen to be a beautiful girl, would she?"

Kasugano Mirai, oblivious to the two children's reaction, answered quite readily: "Yes!"

Upon hearing this answer, a faint smile appeared on Tokisaki Kurumi's face: "Ara ara~ A problem student joins a club, only to find that the club president is a beautiful girl. This is a common trope in light novels. Could it be that Mirai-san is the protagonist of a light novel?"

Yoshino originally wanted to say something, but Yoshino and Nanami covered her mouth at the same time.

We haven't finished gathering intelligence yet, so we can't let it cause trouble.

Not only was Kasugano Mirai not stumped by Tokisaki Kurumi's question, she was even able to launch a counterattack: "I think the plot of picking up three spirits and keeping them as mistresses is more in line with the treatment of a light novel protagonist."

The unexpected remark caused a blush to appear on the faces of the three girls.

But Tokisaki Kurumi wasn't a little girl like Yoshino or Nanami. After a brief moment of surprise, she casually said, "I do like Mirai-san, but Mirai-san doesn't seem to feel the same way about me~"

Upon hearing this, a certain DNA of Kasugano Mirai stirred.

"I will always love Kurumi Tokisaki!"

Caught off guard by the sudden confession, the person in question, after regaining their composure, smiled broadly: "Since you like me too, Mirai-san, why don't we be together..."

"Oh dear~ I think I just heard something incredible!"

Kurumi Tokisaki was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

The girl who was interrupted wasn't angry; she looked at Yoshino with a slightly amused expression.

The meaningful look in her eyes made the latter lower his head, unable to look her in the eye.

However, Yoshina in her hand was not affected in the slightest, and her tone even became more and more exaggerated.

"Future Bro took advantage of Seven Sins, then Yoshino, and now he says he likes Kurumi."

"I never would have guessed that the future young man was such a womanizer."

"Yoshino, be careful in the future, don't let this big radish swallow you whole."

Kasugano Mirai: "..."

While the rogue rabbit was attacking, Tokisaki Kurumi sat leisurely on the sofa with a faint smile on her lips, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

P.S.: Kurumi's personality did indeed become more girlish in Part 4, and she was also quite proactive, so her character design didn't fall apart!

Chapter Thirty: Best Friends for Life

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

While Kasugano Mirai was caught in a moment of embarrassment, a tiny little story was unfolding elsewhere in Chiba at the same time.

................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ………………

Yuigahama family.

"Clang, clang."

Mrs. Yuihama returned home after grocery shopping and suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the kitchen.

Worried that her house had been burgled, she put down the vegetable basket she was carrying, took out a long-handled umbrella from behind the door as a weapon, and cautiously made her way to the living room.

After a long few minutes, looking at her daughter preparing to start a new battle in the kitchen, she put down her umbrella, leaned against the living room door, and said with a wry smile, "Yui, are you planning to make Dad redecorate the kitchen?"

"Eh?"

Hearing someone speak, Yui Yuigahama, who was engrossed in making sweets, hurriedly turned around.

"Mother?!"

"When did you come back?"

Mrs. Yuihama opened the living room door and walked into the kitchen. While cleaning up the mess, she joked, "I just got home from grocery shopping when I heard strange noises coming from the kitchen. I was wondering when the thief had fallen so low that he was stealing things from the kitchen. I never expected it to be my precious daughter making desserts."

Mrs. Yuihama knew her daughter was making desserts because there were two plates of finished cookies on the table.

A small, exquisite plate with a rich aroma.

The plate was pitch black, exuding an ominous aura.

"Yui actually made desserts on her own initiative, could it be that she met a boy she likes?"

Married for over a decade, and with their daughter already in high school, Mrs. Yuihama sometimes acts like a high school student.

For this reason, Yui Yuigahama's relationship with her mother is sometimes more like sisters than mother and daughter, and she will confide in her when she has troubles.

Yui Yuigahama blushed as her mother teased her, then puffed out her cheeks as if to cover it up, and said angrily, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I was just suddenly curious about how to make desserts."

"Hi hi hi~"

Mrs. Yuihama was once that age, and even though some of her experience is outdated due to the progress of the times, she can still tell what a girl is thinking.

Seeing through her daughter's insincerity, she wore a smug expression that said, "My little cabbage has finally learned to roam the wild boar," and spoke in a perfunctory tone as if she were coaxing a child. This made Yui secretly annoyed, but she couldn't do anything about this childish mother, so she could only sulk in a huff.

While her daughter was distracted, Mrs. Yuihama took a cookie from the beautifully presented plate and put it in her mouth.

The cookies were baked to perfection, not only preserving the natural aroma of the wheat but also blending seamlessly with the milk, so much so that Mrs. Yuihama showed a hint of enjoyment on her face.

A few minutes later, Mrs. Yuihama, having regained her senses, looked at her daughter with surprise: "Yui, did you really make this?"

It's not that she's making a fuss.

No one would have any expectations for the two plates of pastries if they saw another plate of indescribable cookies. Even Mrs. Yuihama only started tasting the cookies with the mindset that she would praise her daughter and encourage her if they were just of normal quality.

Even so, she always chose the plate of cookies that looked normal.

The cookies tasted unexpectedly delicious, so much so that she couldn't believe that both plates of cookies in front of her were made by her own daughter.

Yui Yuigahama was so angry at her mother's words that she turned into a little pufferfish, and even the bun hairstyle on her head couldn't help but shake a few times: "Mom's words are too much!"

"Of course I did it!"

"But why are the two works so different?"

Mrs. Yuihama's eyes were full of curiosity and a desire to explore.

"Could it be that Yui is a genius at making desserts?"

"Can you master the technique after doing it once?"

Upon hearing this, the blush that had faded from Yui Yuigahama's face reappeared, even more pronounced than before, with a large blush spreading across her neck.

genius?

Stop making trouble!

If he's truly a genius, how did he come up with that indescribable masterpiece?

As for why the two trays of cookies are so different...

Of course, it's because one game was made by my own improvisation, while the other was made by following the steps in the video!

In fact, thanks to home economics classes, girls in Japanese schools are not completely clueless about cooking.

If you follow the steps in a cookbook, almost everyone can make a simple dish or dessert that tastes decent.

The problem lies in the fact that Yui Yuigahama doesn't like to take the conventional path.

She is usually obedient and accommodating to her friends, but when cooking, she always has her own ideas and often adds extra ingredients, resulting in unappetizing finished products.

After failing to make cookies again, she finally gave up on her own ideas, took out her phone, and obediently followed Kasugano Mirai's steps before making a second batch of cookies that looked quite good.

Having learned the whole story from her daughter, Mrs. Yuihama patted her ample bosom and said with a smile, "So that's how it is."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Mom suddenly became curious about the Service Club that Yui mentioned."
