"Is it something serious?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked.
"It will overturn your worldview."
"Heh~ I've seen dragons and magic with my own eyes, how can I overturn them?" Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
"Okay..." Shi Chen shook his head and chuckled, almost forgetting about it.
"However, this involves Chizuka's background, so let's get her consent first."
"Chizuka's background? Alright then."
"Hmm." Shichen reached the top of the stairs and called upstairs, "Chizuka!"
"What's wrong, Brother Chen?" Jinmu Qian Shu responded quickly.
"Shiyu wants to know about Lycoris and DA, should we tell her?"
"Tell her, we're all family, there's nothing to hide."
"Row."
Shi Chen carried Kanna toward the kitchen: "Let's go, let's sit down in the kitchen and talk."
"Quite a lot of content?" Kasumigaoka Utaha followed him.
"It's not something that can be explained all at once."
Chapter 84 is not about having two-timing.
“I never imagined… that Chizuka was an orphan.” Kasumigaoka Utaha murmured, her expression dazed.
"Mm." Shi Chen nodded gently.
He had just finished explaining to her about Lycoris and DA, which was truly a world-shattering experience for her, who had always lived a peaceful and ordinary life.
So this is what the real world she lived in was like!
These underage female agents dealt with criminals and terrorists before the incident even occurred. Their peaceful lives were all protected by these underage orphan girls.
"Chizuka is still so optimistic and cheerful..."
"Yes, that's just her personality, but she's really amazing." Shi Chen smiled proudly.
He admires people who face life positively, especially since Chizuki Nishiki is just a young girl who has experienced so much.
This was the main reason why he liked her in the first place.
“So…no wonder she was so magnanimous,” Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly said.
"Huh? What do you mean by magnanimity?" Shi Chen looked at her in confusion.
"What do you think?" Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Tohru, who was cooking with great interest.
"..." Shi Chen now understood what she meant.
"Is that all you think? Can't you show some empathy?"
"I just need to treat Chizuka the same way I always have. I think she wouldn't want me to worry about this or that for her, right?"
"That's true..."
"So, I'll react in the manner I should."
"I get it, you mean you're jealous, right?" Shi Chen teased, looking at her.
"What...! Who's jealous?!" Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately retorted.
"Isn't that what you meant just now?" Shi Chen moved closer to her, smiling as he stared into her eyes.
Kasumigaoka Utaha glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed, then couldn't help but look away, leaving him with the back of her head.
"When did I say that? Don't flatter yourself."
"Hehe~" Shi Chen laughed as he looked at her ears, which had turned red.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say."
"You bastard!" Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her head, her fair face already flushed red. She clenched her fists, about to swing them at Tokiomi.
Fortunately, footsteps sounded outside, and then Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue walked in one after the other.
"Brother Chen, Takina's room is all set up."
"Okay, sit down for a while. The food will be ready soon. Takina, please make yourself at home."
“I understand.” Inoue Takina nodded and sat down opposite Shichen.
Nishiki Chizuka sat down on the other side of Shichen, leaning against him. She wanted to put her arm around Shichen's, but he was holding Kanna and there was no space for her to hug him.
However, she did notice something unusual about Kasumigaoka Utaha.
"Shiyu, why is your face so red?"
“It’s hot…” Kasumigaoka Utaha said casually, then turned her head away.
"It's a bit hot in the kitchen, but Thor isn't bothered by the heat."
"Takina, let me introduce you. That dragon maid is Tohru, the one in my arms is Kanna, and this is Kasumigaoka Utaha." Toki took the opportunity to introduce Tohru and the others to Inoue Takina.
"Hello," Kanna waved her little hand in Shi Chen's arms and greeted him in her childish voice.
“Thor? Kanna? This name…” Inoue Takina looked back and forth at the two’s horns and tails with a puzzled expression.
Tohru and the others' dragon horns and tails could actually be hidden, making them invisible to humans, but Toki felt it was unnecessary.
In this era, no one believes in the existence of fantasy anymore; at most, they just regard Thor and the others as cosplay enthusiasts.
As long as they don't fly or use any magic.
Even if it were used, no one would believe it; they would just think it was some kind of special effect during filming.
These days, college students might spout nonsense and call it magic, while elementary and middle school students would definitely think it's special effects or props, and high school students might even be able to explain it with chemistry.
Science has become the only truth in modern times.
Therefore, Shichen was not worried at all about anyone doubting Thor and the others' identities. He could freely admire the two dragon girls with horns on their heads and trailing tails behind them.
Perhaps that was his impression of them, or perhaps he was tired of seeing normal humans, but the dragon girl was indeed more appealing to him.
and many more!
His interests seem a bit abnormal.
"Hehe~ The names might be a bit strange, but they are indeed their names. They are both foreigners," Shichen explained, not intending to reveal Thor and the others' true identities to her for the time being.
“A foreigner? No wonder.” Inoue Takina nodded in realization, without any doubt.
"From now on, we'll be living together. You don't need to be polite with them. Just ask Chizuka if you don't understand anything."
"Ok."
"Thor has almost finished cooking. Let's help serve the dishes and rice."
"Do I need to help too?"
"Isn't that obvious? Everyone is the same."
"Understood." Inoue Takina nodded calmly.
She showed little change in expression, her emotions seemed particularly indifferent, and Shi Chen knew that this was her personality, so naturally he didn't care.
Needless to say, Chizuka Nishiki is similar, and Lycoris is pretty much the same.
Kanna didn't care; all she wanted to do was eat lunch quickly.
Kasumigaoka Utaha already knew Lycoris's identity, so she understood why Lycoris was acting this way.
Inoue Takina wasn't shy at all, and followed Shichen and the others to serve the food, as if she had known them for a long time.
However, during dinner, Inoue Takina seemed out of place.
While Tokiko was feeding Kanna, Tohru and Chizuka were serving him food, while Kasumigaoka Utaha ignored them.
After watching this harmonious scene for a while, Inoue Takina finally couldn't help but ask Nishiki Chizuka, "Chizuka-mae... Chizuka, what's going on here?"
"Hmm? You're putting food on Chen-ge's plate. What's up?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Thor is just like you, right?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"Aren't you and Mr. Shi a couple?"
Not yet~
“?” Inoue Takina stared at her blankly.
"To be honest, I'm competing fairly with Thor right now. You know what fair competition is, right?"
“I know… why didn’t you make a choice back then?” Inoue Takina asked Tokimitsu.
“Choice? Only children make choices,” Shi Chen replied honestly.
There's no point in hiding this; everyone present already knew his intentions, including Kasumigaoka Utaha.
The reason he revealed to her that he was not an ordinary person was to tell her directly that worldly constraints were useless against him.
Although he didn't get a clear response from her, the fact that she's still with him means there's hope.
Next, all we need to do is help her accept it step by step.
It would be difficult under normal circumstances, but he is not a normal person.
"...Playing both sides?" Inoue Takina asked uncertainly.
"This isn't about having your cake and eat it too," Shi Chen shook his head in denial.
"Isn't it?"
"Playing the field requires hiding the existence of another person, but Thor and the others both know each other, so it's not called playing the field," Shichen explained.
"..."
Inoue Takina fell silent. Although she had never been in a relationship, she felt that it shouldn't be like that.
"Don't worry about it so much, it's not really your business anyway, let's eat first," Shi Chen advised.
