It was the sound of plates colliding violently with the coffee table, but no one in the room paid any attention to it. Hanako covered her mouth, trembling as she walked to Kitahara Sousuke, her fingers carefully tracing his eyebrows and eyes.

Tears blurred her vision; the person before her was a spitting image of her deceased husband.

"Daisuke..."

"Mom, welcome home. I'm not feeling well..."

Ah, I used too much force... Kitahara Sousuke gently patted Hanako's back, feeling his clothes getting wet at an alarming rate.

After a while, Hua Daizi climbed out of her son's arms, pursed her lips, and tried to compose herself, though her eyes were still red.

"Sousuke, why are you wearing... your father's clothes?"

"Oh, I think I've grown a little taller recently. My clothes used to be a bit small, so I tried on some of Dad's old clothes, and they seem to fit perfectly."

"Yes, just right, exactly like your father when he was young..."

With a loving expression, Hua Daizi smoothed out the wrinkles on her shirt, watching her eldest son grow into a grown man without her even realizing it.

"Daisuke, our child has grown up, and he really looks like you..."

Unbeknownst to her, in Hua Daizi's eyes, Kitahara Sousuke's image overlapped with that of Kitahara Daisuke in the photo.

"I'm sorry, Kozo, let's talk about our matter later."

Hua Daizi's hoarse voice rang in Akizuki Kozo's ears, as if pronouncing a death sentence, making his heart sink suddenly.

Assessment result: Unmarried, lost male function due to an accident during his doctoral studies. While teaching at Seifu Academy, he unexpectedly discovered that the Kitahara sisters seemed to be able to reactivate their long-lost functions, and is currently pursuing their mother, Kitahara Hanako, by any means necessary. In an experiment, he accidentally concocted a chemical agent with strong hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac properties, and likes to carry a chemical spray he invented with him. He is secretly luring students at Seifu Academy to perfect his agent experiments.

Kitahara Sosuke frowned, and with a thought, he put away the appraisal interface in front of him. He secretly glanced at the other person's pants pocket, where the item was probably located.

"So he's already starting to harm students to improve his drug experiments? We need to find a way to get the spray over here."

While pondering, Kitahara Sosuke concealed the barely perceptible look of disgust between his brows and greeted Akizuki Kozo, who sat to the side with a livid face.

"Nice to meet you. I am Kitahara Sōsuke. My mother has been taken care of by you."

"Hello, I am Akizuki Kozo. I am ashamed to say that I have received a lot of help from Hanako."

The two cunning old men forced smiles and shook hands with each other.

Kitahara Sousuke helped his mother, Hanako, back to sit at the coffee table. He glanced at the marriage registration form placed among them and quietly closed the folder.

"Forehead……"

Akizuki Kozo's eyelids twitched, and he opened his mouth as if to say something but couldn't utter a word. Meanwhile, Hanako, standing to the side, seemed completely oblivious to the movement.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve had any guests,” Kitahara Sosuke said with a smile. “Uncle Akizuki, is there something you need this time?”

Of course I have something to do, you can see that. But you came out and immediately threw that marriage registration form aside, and then asked me what I had to do? How am I supposed to answer that now?

After all, Akizuki Kozo was a well-educated and cultured person, and at least had some basic decency. He suppressed the urge to curse and said a few polite words.

During the meal, Akizuki Kozo tried to warm up the atmosphere, which had been interrupted several times, and attempted to steer the conversation back to himself and Kitahara Kayoko.

However, Kitahara Sousuke wasn't stupid. He pretended not to understand even if he understood, and pretended not to hear even if he heard. If you said, "Miss Hanako is gentle and generous, and very popular in the company," he would reply, "That's right, that's right. My younger sister is cute and charming, and she inherited her mother's beauty. The number of people who confess to her at the academy could stretch to the curb at the school gate."

This is a classic case of talking at cross purposes.

For example, Akizuki Kozo said with feigned regret, "Miss Hanako must have had a tough year raising three children all by herself." Hanako opened her mouth to say something, but Kitahara Sosuke immediately smiled and chimed in, "No, no, Airi and Marina are very obedient. They took all the love letters home, read them, and then carefully shredded them all."

"..."

Marina was confused, but she vaguely sensed that although the two were smiling, it seemed like they might jump up and punch each other at any moment. As for Airi, her face was flushed as she sat next to her sister, her mind filled with Kitahara Sosuke's words of praise for her.

Damn it, no way, how can this guy be so shameless? Kitahara Sosuke maintained his stiff facial muscles, repeatedly blocking the opponent's movement, under immense pressure.

"Ellie, I'm a little thirsty, go get me a glass of water."

"Oh……"

"I need to finish this quickly, my mom's already awake." Kitahara Sousuke could already feel Kitahara Hanako's complicated gaze behind him.

Alice slipped on her slippers, went to the kitchen, made a cup of tea, and then walked back to the living room pouting, saying, "Hey—"

Kitahara Sosuke reached out to take the teacup, but deliberately loosened his grip.

"ah--"

With a gasp from Airi, the teacup crashed onto the table, rolled twice, and the liquid inside, under Kitahara Sousuke's deliberate control, spilled entirely onto Akizuki Kozo on his left.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... my sister is clumsy."

Kitahara Sosuke pretended to be worried about the other person getting burned, and quickly pulled out two tissues to help wipe the tea on the table. However, his left hand reached into Akizuki Kozo's pocket from an angle where no one could see him.

His index finger touched a small, round-sectioned bottle with a plastic-like texture. Kitahara Sosuke chuckled inwardly, thinking, "I knew it was here," and then silently recited...

"Props box, for storage—"

The tactile sound at the fingertips disappeared.

"It doesn't matter."

Akizuki Kozo awkwardly stood up and waved his hand, feeling that it was indeed not suitable to continue the conversation today. He then made an excuse to leave, completely unaware that his spray had disappeared.

"Um... Hua Daizi, I suddenly remembered that there are some things in the lab that I need to go back and take care of."

……

As the door closed with a click, Hanako picked up a picture frame from the shoe cabinet in the entryway, almost identical to the one in the living room, and looked at Kitahara Sousuke with a half-smile:

"Sousuke, why did you find this and put it here?"

"Huh? I don't know, maybe Ellie misses her dad..."

Oh no, my mom is fully awake. Kitahara Sousuke shamelessly shifted the blame onto his sister.

"what?"

Ellie stomped on her brother's foot with a "thud".

Both Hanako and Kitahara Daisuke are university professors, outstanding among their peers in terms of experience and intelligence. Although women, being more emotional, may temporarily lose their judgment during intense emotional fluctuations, Hanako quickly realized her son's trickery once she calmed down.

With a slightly sad sigh, Hua Daizi touched Airi, who was clinging to her arm, with her free hand. How could she not know what her daughter was thinking?

"So, you and Airi really don't like other people being your fathers, do you?"

"Of course... Waaah..."

Kitahara Sosuke delivered a karate chop to Airi's head, stopping her thoughtless remarks.

“Mom, ever since Dad passed away, I have always firmly supported you in finding your own support.”

"Huh? Then why just now..."

“Japan has never hidden its malice towards women. Even someone as highly educated as you, Mom, must have been subjected to a lot of gossip and rumors.”

Kitahara Sousuke pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to focus. The little girl next to him kept muttering that he was a traitor.

"Moreover, Marina and Airi will be going to high school soon. It's not uncommon for children from single-parent families to be bullied when they re-enter an unfamiliar school environment."

But sometimes, there are people around you who take advantage of your vulnerability, hoping to take advantage of your weakness. Therefore, I hope that after you truly overcome your grief, you can… oh dear…

"You kid..."

Hua Daizi smiled and withdrew her finger.

"You're even meddling in adult matters now, and you're just as stubborn as your father when you try to reason with him."

Seventh Chapter, produced by Xiao San, quality guaranteed.

Kitahara Sosuke lay on the bed, toying with a golden tarot card-sized card in his hand. He had snatched it from the foolish goddess before disappearing into the mysterious space.

Strange colors swirled on the card, and mysterious patterns highlighted its extraordinary nature. However, whether it was stuck to the forehead or subjected to a blood test, there was no reaction.

Even with the identification skill, all I could get was: "The one who has made a mistake should correct it."

"Never mind, let's look at something else." Kitahara Sousuke put the mystery card back in the prop box and took out a small bottle.

ID: seex21

Main ingredients: ***, ***, flunitrazepam, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid

Effects: Strong hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac effects; inhalation may cause numbness, auditory hallucinations, and estrus.

Effective time: within 3 minutes

Duration: depends on dose

With the identification skill, the composition and effects of the mysterious liquid are clearly revealed.

However, looking at the string of seemingly incomprehensible chemical names in the main ingredients list, Kitahara Sousuke couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. His identification skills could only analyze the components, not create an antidote.

Moreover, this powerful hallucinogen takes effect extremely quickly, leaving no time for detoxification after exposure.
