He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

Xing Gongxi: It's their business if they have grievances. If they have any disloyalty to the Xing Gong family, then tell them to pack their things and get out of here.

Butler: But, Miss...

Hoshimiya Shio: I'll say it again, I have something very important to do, something that even concerns the future of the Hoshimiya family. Don't bother me during this time, and don't send me any messages.

Butler: Okay, Miss, I understand.

Hoshimiya Shio: Oh, right, there's one more thing. Please inform Rie that she will be in charge of all affairs of the Hoshimiya Group until I return.

Butler: Miss, why don't you tell her yourself? After all, she is your mother...

Xinggong Xi: What is the first family rule of the Xinggong family?

Butler: Regardless of age or social status, the greater the ability, the greater the power.

Hoshimiya Shio: I am now the head of the family, so just do as I say.

Butler: Yes, I will arrange everything.

Hoshimiya Shio turned off her phone.

She had no feelings for her mother, Hoshimiya Rie. She was raised by the housekeeper from a young age, and her mother was just a word that existed in textbooks during her childhood.

The father doesn't even exist.

Since her birth, apart from the diligent and elderly housekeeper, no man has ever appeared in the Hoshimiya family.

Even Hoshimiya Shio herself was unaware of the detailed facts of this matter. The Hoshimiya family's unanimous explanation was that women's last pair of chromosomes were XX, while men's last pair of chromosomes were XY. The Y chromosome is very small and carries less genetic code. In terms of adapting to the environment, the X chromosome is stronger than the Y chromosome, so men are considered inferior.

Therefore, the entire Hoshigumi family has always been very prejudiced against men.

Xing Gongxi is from the main branch of the Xing Gong family. Not only has her father never appeared, but she also has no grandfather.

Other families had men, but Hoshimiya Shio didn't care about such things.

She has no discrimination against women or men.

She thinks everyone is trash.

She looked down on everyone equally.

In her view, relationships between people are nothing more than mutual deception and exploitation for their own benefit.

Rie Hoshimiya's approach is based on win-win cooperation and mutual communication, which is relatively mild.

Her approach to managing the conglomerate was ruthless, monopolistic, and unilaterally annexed and subjugated.

She only trusts those who submit to her, those who are her "pet dogs."

The board members of the Hoshimiya Foundation were terrified of Hoshimiya Shio, who was only 16 years old but could be so cold and ruthless. So, on the grounds that minors should go to school to gain experience, they forcibly sent her to Sakura High School to weaken her control over the foundation.

But all this was in vain. The school could not become a shackle to bind her; instead, it became a place for her to play. She was still above everyone else at school, including Principal Kato.

Hoshimiya Shio glanced at the time on her phone; it was 2 a.m. Estimating that it was about time, she quietly opened the door, went to Shirakawa's room, and pushed it open a crack.

The pocket watch should be in his pocket; steal it while he's asleep.

Ok?

Shirakawa had his legs propped up on the bed, his body on the floor, and he lowered himself down, bending his elbows and then pushing himself up with his arms, repeating this action over and over again.

He was doing push-ups at 2 a.m. instead of sleeping?

Is he out of his mind?

Are ordinary people really that busy with evening activities these days?

Hoshimiya Shio stood in front of his door for a while, waiting for him to fall asleep, but Shirakawa didn't seem to be stopping.

Xing Gongxi couldn't wait any longer. Being an infant had taken a lot of energy today, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted, so she had to go back to her room to rest.

I'll find another opportunity to steal this pocket watch later.

Hoshiguchi returned to the master bedroom, where the old, worn-out kendama was still on her pillow.

She unconsciously picked it up and played with it for a moment.

Ok?

Why would I play with the things of ordinary people?

Hoshimiya Shio tossed the Kendama aside and fell into a deep sleep next to Aunt Mito.

69. Miike Naeko's Unfeeling Body

Shirakawa was just drifting off to sleep.

Suddenly I felt something pressing down on my body.

Is it sleep paralysis?

Just as Shirakawa was about to open his eyes, he noticed an unnatural flow of gas around his neck.

That thing is smelling itself.

Carefully feel the direction and frequency of the flow.

It should be Mito Maki, no doubt.

Shirakawa had already been sniffed by her several times and knew her technique for sniffing him like the back of her hand.

From the shoulders to the neck, from bottom to top, slowly get closer.

But how did she get into her room?

The front door was definitely closed when I went to sleep.

Oh... I think I gave Aunt Meidu a key before.

Oh no, Shirakawa can only pretend to be asleep now.

Once Maki discovers that he is still awake.

Putting aside whether it was awkward or not after Shirakawa woke up, this strange Maki might just take Shirakawa right there and then.

Aunt Midu was still asleep next door, and it didn't seem like a good person would do something like that, with her daughter next to her.

Hold her tight, kiss her, and possess her.

Shirakawa was too powerless to complain about the curse, so he could only close his eyes and endure it.

He resisted his own male desires and the woman's seduction.

Tolerate!

But Maki's movements became bolder and larger, her breathing became more frequent, and one could even faintly hear the ticking of a clock (?).

Oh! She did that in my bed??

Shirakawa felt that the blanket covering his lower body was slightly seeping through.

Gan!

Shirakawa reacted from a profit-driven perspective.

Any normal man would react if a pretty girl did that kind of thing in front of him, and Shirakawa was no exception.

No matter how much his reason tries to restrain and soothe him, his body doesn't lie.

not good!

Shirakawa had already nailed the blankets to a slightly worn-out state.

You absolutely must not touch her.

There is no other way but this.

Shirakawa pretended to be asleep, slightly twisted his body, changed to a position of riding the blanket, and used his thigh to perform a tactical recoil control maneuver.

Maki stopped what she was doing and looked nervously at Shirakawa.

Shirakawa desperately tried to control his body, trying to steady his breathing, while his heart pounded uncontrollably.

After enduring it for a while, Maki continued her magnificent human engineering exploration.

Anxious breaths brushed against Shirakawa's face, and his black hair gently brushed against the tip of his nose. It was a scent completely different from Nikaido's.

Nikaido is more wild and has a slightly stronger flavor, while Maki's is more reserved.

Suddenly swayed a few times

As the blanket covering Shirakawa's thighs was stained with another stream of lava.

it is finally over.

Maki got out of bed and left, satisfied.

She's having a good time, but what about me?

Shirakawa also needs to vent!

What can we do? What else can we do?

Shirakawa pulled out a notebook from under the bed, then turned on the computer, searching for spellcasting materials.
