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

Did I misunderstand him?

Impossible, how could a commoner be so meticulous?

Yes, he's deliberately putting on an act; he's still deliberately putting on an act.

Hoshimiya blamed Shirakawa illogically, her powerful, kingly pride preventing her from admitting she was wrong.

Shirakawa, I'm going to make you my dog ​​and make you live a miserable life!

Xing Gongxi made a silent vow in her heart.

71. Aunt Midu wants to look younger.

breakfast.

Sakura ate with unusual care, afraid that food scraps and grease would stain her clothes.

Actually, she didn't really want to eat; she wanted to save her appetite for lunch with Shirakawa after they went shopping.

Order a huge amount of food and squeeze every last drop out of Shirakawa's wallet, so that he can only ask you for money with a pitiful look on his face.

perfect.

A few minutes later, Mito Sakura suddenly stood up from her seat.

"I'm full, I'm going out!"

"Have fun, and come home early tonight. Don't stay out all night..."

"Okay, Mom." Mitsu Sakura winked at Shirakawa, indicating that she was waiting for him downstairs.

Shirakawa nodded.

Mitsu Sakura then left.

"Be careful on the road," Aunt Meidu said.

Midori Maki was thinking about how to secretly warn Shirakawa, but she kept sensing that Hoshimiya Shio was watching her.

No chance.

Oh, right, Maki suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Why don't we try using Line? Although I haven't added Shirakawa as a Line friend, my mom and sister might. We can have them pass on the message to Shirakawa.

"I'm full." Maki got up to leave, then secretly sent a message somewhere Hoshimiya Shio couldn't see her.

"Waaaaah, big sister!" Hoshimiya Shio cried as she hugged Maki tightly.

From Aunt Meidu's perspective, it was a heartwarming gesture from the baby girl who couldn't bear to part with her own daughter.

But in Maki's eyes, it was the silver-haired, terrifying demon who wanted to keep her and monitor her hypocritical performance. He could cry on cue, and no actor in the drama could act like him.

In the past, Maki respected and admired Hoshimiya Shio, and felt honored to join the student council as a disciplinary committee member under her command. Now that Hoshimiya Shio has become her adversary, Maki feels more and more that this person is an extremely terrifying existence.

"Oh dear, Mommy needs to tidy up the table. Maki, why don't you stay and play with Shirakawa in the bedroom for a while?"

Playing? Who's playing with whom?

"Sister, sister. Waaaaaah~" Hoshimiya Shio was still whimpering in Maki's arms.

"merciful."

Maki had no choice but to agree; even if she refused now, Hoshimiya Shio wouldn't let her go.

And so, Hoshimiya Shio carried Maki into the master bedroom of the Shirakawa family home.

As soon as the door closed, Hoshiguchi Shio revealed her true colors, immediately distancing herself from Maki and reverting to her arrogant and domineering demeanor.

"If you dare tell Shirakawa about me, I'll make sure you never see him again," Hoshimiya Shio immediately threatened.

Maki panicked because the student council president meant what she said, and Shirakawa might really disappear forever.

"What are you trying to do by disguising yourself like this at Shirakawa's house?" Maki mustered her courage to ask. Even with such a powerful figure, Maki couldn't bear to have such a dangerous presence around her destined person.

Do you remember the hypnosis session yesterday?

"Hypnosis?"

Seeing Maki's confusion, Hoshimiya Shio immediately realized that she was probably the only one who retained the memory of yesterday's events; the other hypnotized students had all lost their memories.

Since Maki doesn't know, I won't reveal any more. After all, the fewer people who know about the watch's powerful abilities, the better.

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

This is a lesson that Hoshiguchi Shio has learned after years of navigating the business world.

What kind of excuse can we come up with?

It would be best to persuade Maki to stand on my side.

Have it.

"I've come to Shirakawa's house to investigate a secret case."

"Hmm? A secret case?"

“That’s right, this concerns the life and death of the school. As the student council president, I have an inescapable responsibility, which is why I’ve condescended to come here.”

Maki was still puzzled after hearing this and didn't dare to believe it easily: "Since you're here to investigate, why are you acting so strangely? Why don't you just ask Shirakawa directly?"

"No, no, no, that won't do. Shirakawa is being kept in the dark by some vicious people and is being used as a pawn. Telling him anything would easily alert them," Hoshimiya Shio lied. "You have to believe me. I'm the student council president of Sakura High School."

Hoshiguchi Shio raised her head, crossed her arms, and revealed that ruthless and domineering look again: "If it weren't for these important matters, why would I lower myself to come to the commoner Shirakawa's house? What would I be after?"

Hoshimiya Shio is right. Although Maki likes Shirakawa, Shirakawa, who is penniless and powerless, doesn't really have anything worth Hoshimiya Shio coveting.

Xing Gongxi was secretly pleased. She usually dealt with profit-driven businessmen, and her negotiation skills were far superior to those of ordinary people. She could still fool a small disciplinary committee member, Mei Duxi.

Besides, Hoshiguchi Shio does real work in the student council! Many tasks have become more efficient because of her.

"Okay, then I'll keep it a secret and won't tell Shirakawa."

As a member of the disciplinary committee, Mito Maki trusted the student council president.

"Well, but to better protect Shirakawa, there's one more thing you need to do for me..."

?????

Shirakawa is helping Aunt Mito tidy up the table.

After all, Auntie is such a kind person, so it's only right that I help her with whatever I can.

After I'm done with this, I'll tidy up and go find Mitsu Sakura.

I didn't hear any noise from the master bedroom; it seems Maki and the silver-haired girl are getting along very well.

"Yes, Shirakawa-kun, your aunt has something to ask you."

"Aunt Meidu, please speak."

Are you going on a date with Sakura?

Oh, Aunt Midu found out so quickly?

"Um, Auntie... I was just helping her run errands..." Shirakawa stammered.

"It's alright, Auntie knows. I know my own daughter perfectly well. She definitely likes Shirakawa-kun."

"Um...is that so?" Shirakawa didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Oh dear, Sakura has always been compared to her older sister since she was little. The older she gets, the more rebellious she becomes. She's always making sarcastic remarks to others. But actually, she's a good child. You'll have to take good care of her in the future," Aunt Meidu recalled.

"I will, Aunt Mido."

"I'll keep it a secret for you, Maki, so you don't need to worry."

"Regarding Maki, I..."

"I know Maki likes you too."

Besides, it's about liking someone, to the point of being obsessed. What normal person would sneak into someone's bed in the middle of the night and do that kind of thing?

"Shirakawa-kun is really amazing. Both of my precious daughters like Shirakawa-kun. I will fully support you no matter which one you are with. It's just that their sisterly relationship in the future will be a bit difficult to handle," Mito Kana said with a wry smile.

"I...I'm sorry, Aunt Mido." Shirakawa didn't know what to say, so he could only apologize.

"It's alright, it's alright. Go play with Ying, don't keep her waiting. I'll clean up the house." Aunt Meidu stacked the rice bowls on the table and wiped the table with a rag.

"Well, Aunt Meidu, I'm leaving now."

"Be careful on the road."

"Ah."

Shirakawa left home.

"Heave-ho!" Midori Kana put the bowls and dishes in the kitchen sink and squeezed some dish soap into them to soak.

Soaking it for a while before washing will remove the grease faster.

With nothing to do, Midori Kana went to the bathroom to wash Shirakawa's dirty clothes from yesterday.

Huh? Why is Shirakawa's blanket here?
