My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Subsequently, Katsura Kotonoha set her sights on Takayanagi Ichiro's position.

"As for my relationship with Saionji, it will definitely continue as a friendship, and there won't be any problems."

Adults should handle their own affairs, and high school students should handle their own affairs. Katsura Kotonoha clearly distinguished between these two categories, which relieved Katsura Manami.

Although Saionji Sekai's mother hasn't called to share the good news yet, Takayanagi Ichiro has already acknowledged his help to the two wives, meaning their fast food restaurant will definitely become famous soon.

This also shows that Ichiro Takayanagi approves of the two wives. If his daughter really opposed the two wives, or even severed ties with their daughters, Ichiro Takayanagi might have a different opinion of Kotonoha Katsura.

Katsura Kotonoha is now very clear-headed and has stated her position.

Of course, Ichiro Takayanagi also deserves credit for stopping it; if Manami Katsura had been allowed to educate Kotonoha Katsura just now, the result might have been the opposite.

"This shop is the result of Mom's hard work, and she certainly won't give it away to someone else for no reason. You can rest assured about that, Kotoha."

Chapter 686 Let me carry her to the room

Now that her daughter had grown up, Katsura Manami made a promise at this time.

I would never give up this shop so easily. Even if the other party is my good friend, I will definitely cooperate with everyone on an equal footing.

"Chunxiang, do you still want to run this shop together in the future?"

So if I do anything wrong, please point it out to me.

Previously, Katsura Manami managed the shop alone, which was quite tiring for her.

But now that Haruka Oki has arrived here and we've teamed up with her, things have become much easier.

Furthermore, Katsura Manami did not want the shop to become a one-man show, so she directly appointed Oki Haruka as the supervisor.

If she does something wrong, then let Haruka Oki step forward to stop her and persuade her.

“My daughter and I came here because of some issues, and we have already received a lot of help from you. We certainly won’t do anything reckless in this matter.”

Haruka Oki still saw herself as an employee, believing that even if there were problems, he shouldn't be the one to raise them, so she directly rejected Manami Katsura.

Katsura Manami was not surprised by Oki Haruka's rejection, so she looked directly at Takayanagi Ichiro.

Currently, everyone in this shop except for the youngest, Katsura Shin, has a close and deep relationship with Takayanagi Ichiro.

Therefore, Ichiro Takayanagi must have a great ability to persuade, and at this time, he should naturally try to persuade Haruka Oki.

"Haruka, Manami is treating you like one of her own."

So you don't need to refuse at all, you can just agree.

There are always areas that one person can't take care of, but when two smart people come together, there are many more possibilities.

Furthermore, when you collaborate with others in the future, those individuals will also have two or three people. Do you really want your true love to deal with each of them individually?

Takayanagi Ichiro's persuasion did have an effect, mainly due to his last sentence.

Katsura Manami will likely have to face two or three people alone, which is something Oki Haruka doesn't want to see.

Haruka Oki and Manami Katsura are now very good friends, regardless of whether she works at the shop or not.

Even if she didn't work here, she would definitely help her good friend solve any problems she saw.

"Okay, I'll definitely step in to help then."

However, I will be careful to maintain a proper distance and will absolutely not put Manami in a difficult position.

Haruka Oki remained steadfast in her stance, and Manami Katsura didn't try to persuade her further; as long as Haruka Oki was willing to help, that was enough.

Seeing that the two ladies, Katsura Manami and Oki Haruka, were cooperating under Takayanagi Ichiro's persuasion, the two high school girls, Katsura Kotonoha and Oki Rinka, exchanged a glance and laughed.

Just like Katsura Kotonoha said before, they are only responsible for communication among high school students, and let the adults handle communication.

"Why am I the only one who hasn't been assigned a job yet?"

When the adorable Katsura saw that the two wives and the two older sisters were interacting too much with Takayanagi Ichiro, she immediately became a little anxious.

She believes that although she is a cute little girl, she can do quite a lot of things.

Moreover, she made great progress when she went to Takayanagi Ichiro's place with her best friend last time. She felt that she had grown a lot, and Katsura thought that Takayanagi Ichiro could assign her more tasks.

"Be careful, you also have a mission. Then please invite your older brother to our house so that he can taste our secret recipe."

At this moment, Haruka Oki revealed her intention to Katsura Shin, which was to have Katsura Shin act as the inviter.

Katsura Manami and Oki Haruka both knew that Takayanagi Ichiro had come to discuss serious business. If it had been their wives or two female students who extended the invitation, Takayanagi Ichiro might not have been willing to stay, since he had his own work to attend to.

However, if the person extending the invitation is Katsura Shin, then Takayanagi Ichiro would most likely not refuse Katsura Shin's invitation.

Because they could tell that Ichiro Takayanagi doted on the little cutie much more than they did.

The high school student showed no jealousy regarding the two wives or two women.

Because they had already tasted the delicious food, while Gui Xin, this little cutie, could only watch with envy.

"Okay."

Katsura, the little cutie, immediately nodded to Oki Haruka. She was very happy to be assigned a task, even though it wasn't from Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Big brother, please come home with us."

Katsura immediately turned to Takayanagi Ichiro and extended an invitation, and she even jumped desperately into his arms.

This time, even her mother, Katsura Manami, didn't stop Katsura Shin's actions, because only in this way could they invite Takayanagi Ichiro over.

"Alright, then for Xiaoxin's sake, I'll go and try your secret recipe."

Takayanagi Ichiro accepted Katsura's invitation, and the two wives and two female high school students were very happy, praising Katsura one after another.

Gui Xin was also very pleased with herself, and she once again fell into Takayanagi Ichiro's arms, after which Takayanagi Ichiro took them home.

...............

Gui Xin, this little cutie, seems to have endless energy during the day, but after getting home, she ate a little something and drank some beverages and then immediately became sleepy.

"I was wondering if you guys had put something in Xiaoxin's drink, how come she's sleepy so early?"

Takayanagi Ichiro was quite surprised when he met Katsura Shin, so he questioned the two wives and the two female high school students.

Takayanagi Ichiro knew perfectly well why the four people had invited him to their home.

However, it would be a bit wrong to use Gui Xin's safety to accomplish this.

"Be careful, it might really be like this at night. We haven't done anything reckless."

Katsura Kotonoha, Katsura's older sister, immediately stepped forward to explain, not wanting Takayanagi Ichiro to have any doubts.

"Brother Gao Liu, let me carry Xiaoxin to her room to rest first. You can continue eating with Mom and the others."

After Katsura Kotonoha finished speaking, she came to Katsura Kotonoha's side, intending to hug Katsura Kokoro, but she was unsuccessful.

Because Katsura Shin tightly hugged Takayanagi Ichiro's arm, she knew very well before she passed out that she would fall on Takayanagi Ichiro's side.

Chapter 687 Kotoba, We Should Gather Our Forces

Knowing that Ichiro Takayanagi was right beside her, Katsura Shin felt very relaxed.

Of course, it would be best if Ichiro Takayanagi could accompany me to rest.

Katsura Kotonoha is now unable to take her younger sister away, which is quite frustrating. Fortunately, Takayanagi Ichiro speaks up at this moment.

"Kotoha, you lead the way, I'll carry Kokoro and follow behind."

Faced with Takayanagi Ichiro's suggestion, Katsura Kotonoha did not refuse and immediately led the way, while Takayanagi Ichiro followed behind with Katsura Kokoro in his arms.

"I'll go help out too."

At this moment, Rinka Ooki also stood up. She wanted to act together with Kotonoha Katsura, which made both of the ladies stop eating.

After the four of them left together, Katsura Manami looked at Oki Haruka.

Do you think they'll come out again?

"Probably, it is a safe room after all."

Haruka Oki knows her daughter is very bold, while Manami Katsura's daughter, Kotonoha Katsura, has changed a lot.

The two girls also missed Takayanagi Ichiro quite a bit, and they were indeed capable of taking very proactive actions.

But that's Guixin's room after all. If they were to do something inappropriate, wouldn't that be a bit too forward?

Actually, there's another reason that Haruka Oki didn't explicitly say: it's highly unlikely that Ichiro Takayanagi would do anything in the little cutie's room.

Katsura Manami shook her head in denial of Oki Haruka's response.

"Be careful of the changes in your body. I've seen them all. They're definitely related to Takayanagi-kun."

"What……"

After hearing what Katsura Manami said, Oki Haruka was completely stunned.

I never expected Katsura Manami to make such a prediction, you know, the little cutie...

"Be careful, she really likes Takayanagi-kun, we can all see that."

Furthermore, Takayanagi-kun absolutely did not force or harm her in any way; on the contrary, the changes were beneficial to her, so I would never object.”

"Then let's..."

"Let's have a little something to tide us over, otherwise we won't have any energy later."

.............

Katsura Shin was easily placed on Takayanagi Ichiro's bed, a smile on her face, clearly indicating that this was the outcome she had been hoping for.

"Brother Gao Liu, may I ask you a question?"

As soon as Ichiro Takayanagi turned around, he saw two high school girls, Kotonoha Katsura and Rinka Oki, close Kokoro Katsura's door, while Kotonoha continued to ask him questions.

"sure."

"Have Saionji-san and Kiyoura-san taken the final step with you?"

The fact that Ichiro Takayanagi was able to provide assistance to the mothers of two classmates suggests that their relationship is beyond doubt.
