Machete Style Anime

……

Seven Sins thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why Kurumi wasn't looking for her, until one moment, the doorbell rang.

"Ding dong~"

Upon hearing the doorbell, before the two children could react, Kurumi fiddled with the phone a few more times, returned it to Yoshino, and then went to the entrance to open the door with a smile.

After Kurumi left, Yoshina rested her chin on her short hand and said seriously, "There must be something fishy about this!"

"Miss Seven Sins, what do you think?"

I didn't ask Yoshino because I knew it would be pointless.

Although Seven Sins really wanted to say "I'll stand here and watch," she ultimately didn't have the nerve to say it due to her personality.

Just as they were chatting and joking around, the living room door opened again, and Kurumi walked in with a visitor.

Upon seeing the visitor, the two children exclaimed in unison, "hentai?!"

"Future Bro?"

At this moment, Seven Sins finally understood why Kurumi hadn't been looking for her earlier.

—Although she herself knew what her true feelings for Kasugano Mirai were, she always showed disdain on the surface.

Sending an invitation using her account obviously carries the risk of rejection, so the other party chose to contact her using Yoshino's account.

"Yoshino, Kurumi told me you wanted to see me?"

Upon seeing Yoshino, Kasugano Mirai said this.

"Uh…"

Suddenly called out, Yoshino didn't know how to answer for a moment. She looked pitifully at Nanami, as if she was about to cry.

Then Seven Sins stepped forward, his little face fierce.

"Don't you dare bully Yoshino!"

Kasugano Mirai: "..."

He felt wronged, but he didn't say anything!

"Alright, alright~ Seven Sins, don't blame Mirai-kun."

Kurumi stepped in to smooth things over.

After all, she's the one who caused this situation.

After speaking with Nanami, she turned to look at Kasugano Mirai.

"Actually, I called Future-kun over today."

"I recently learned how to make a dessert and would like to ask Future for your guidance."

"I see."

Although Kasugano Mirai was a little curious as to why the girl had changed her way of addressing him and why she wasn't contacting him using her own account, he didn't ask any further questions since Kimi was closer to him than Kotori.

Upon hearing the name "Kurumi," the two children's expressions subtly changed.

"Yoshino, should we contact Kurumi? I have a feeling she'll go berserk when she gets back."

"Seven Sins, calm down!"

"If we contact Kurumi, the house will probably be blown up several times today after she gets back."

Yoshina's eyes darted around, and a wicked idea immediately popped into her head.

Before she could even speak, Yoshino, quick as a flash, had already covered her mouth.

A girl in love is blind and terrifying; she doesn't want to be the object of the other person's affections.

……

……

……

In the living room.

Kasugano Mirai sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the two little ones, while Kurumi was preparing snacks in the kitchen.

"hentai, why did you write a siscon-type book for your new book?"

Perhaps feeling awkward about remaining silent, or perhaps genuinely concerned about the issue, Seven Sins asked this question.

Upon hearing this question, Yoshino inexplicably recalled Yoshina's far-fetched explanation from last time. Although she felt it was somewhat unlikely, her body obediently reacted—her two little ears perked up, as if afraid of missing an answer.

Kurumi, the girl who was busy preparing desserts in the kitchen, did not react to Nanami's question and continued to bury herself in her work.

Hearing the question posed by Nanami, Kasugano Mirai felt a little numb, and what made him especially uneasy was the strange expression on the two little ones' faces.

His intuition told him that this was a trap.

He tried to bluff his way out, but the Seven Deadly Sins' abilities left him no room for excuses.

Therefore, he chose to answer the question from a business perspective.

"Because works featuring siscon (sister complex) themes are more popular!"

This is the absolute truth.

Many people who are into sister complexes, since they don't have a sister in real life, can only place their emotions in the world of anime and manga. Coupled with stock market speculation and dramatic love triangles, the sister complex theme has been a long-lasting and popular theme in the ACG industry.

Not getting the answer they wanted, Nanami pouted, and a hint of disappointment flashed in Yoshino's eyes.

If she could, she really wanted to know how Kasugano Mirai felt about her.

I don't need a poetic and heartfelt confession like I did with Seven Sins and Kurumi Tokisaki. Even a simple "I like you" would be enough to satisfy her.

Unfortunately, Yoshino, with her introverted and reserved personality, could never express her true feelings.

—At least at this stage, girls would absolutely never say it on their own initiative.

……

……

……

"Awaited!"

After a while, Kurumi brought three plates of snacks to the dining table.

Although her reason was to ask Kasugano Mirai for help with the desserts, she had previously borrowed Yoshino's phone, and it wouldn't be right to just leave her aside now that she had achieved her goal.

Since making two more desserts wouldn't take much time anyway, I might as well make them together.

Of course, what's called a snack is actually a thin pancake.

However, the pancakes here are not the multigrain pancakes from China!

In Japan, pancakes are indeed classified as a type of dessert, made primarily with ingredients such as milk, eggs, and low-gluten flour.

The three-centimeter thin pancake that Kurumi served looked golden in color and smelled delicious.

Kasugano Mirai gently pressed it with her finger; it was very soft.

Judging by appearance and aroma, he would give her nine out of ten, the one point less being to prevent her from becoming arrogant.

As for the taste…

He picked up the knife and fork the girl had prepared from the plate, tied the napkin around his neck, and carefully cut off a piece of pancake and put it in his mouth.

The moment the pancake enters your mouth, the rich, milky flavor fills your mouth, followed by the aroma of eggs.

Compared to milk, eggs have a less intense flavor, but they add a unique touch to this dessert.

……

After chewing for a while, I swallowed the pancake.

Opening her eyes, Kasugano Mirai saw the hopeful look in Kurumi's eyes and smiled, "Kurumi's dessert is quite good. Even I don't have any suggestions."

"If I had to say something, next time when selecting ingredients, I could choose some better ones to make the flavor even better."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Kurumi nodded repeatedly, then moved closer to Kasugano Mirai amidst his puzzled gaze.

"Hey~ Future, I did so well, shouldn't I get a reward?"

Kasugano Mirai slowly typed out a question mark.

?

As everyone knows, when I type this question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem!

By this point, even if Kasugano Mirai were slow to notice, she would have realized the problem.

After all, Kurumi Tokisaki would never do something like acting cute.

Or rather, she would never normally engage in such coquettish behavior.

Yet, Kurumi acted very naturally, like a girl in love waiting for praise from her sweetheart.

Thinking of Tokisaki Kurumi's several special clones, Kasugano Mirai immediately had a plan in mind.

But it was precisely because he had guessed Kurumi's identity that he felt a bit of a headache.

Because Kurumi the Girl is also known as Tanabata Kurumi.

Correct!

That's right!

That's Kurumi, the one who drove the car on Xiao Si!

Because Kurumi was standing so close, Kasugano Mirai could smell a faint fragrance emanating from her.

What's worse, the other person seemed to think that wasn't close enough, so they moved even closer, almost leaning half their body against him.

Feeling the warm, soft touch on her arm, Kasugano Mirai froze, like a robot that had crashed and short-circuited, unable to react.

Seeing what Kurumi was doing, the two little ones' eyes flashed with envy.

To be honest, they actually wanted to do that too.
