Tokyo: They say it's just dating, but they're serious about it.

At this time, Katsuhiko is probably in a hotel with Yuma Kanzaki, right? I'm really curious... I can't remind Sayuri, otherwise she'll be too embarrassed to call.

Chapter 102 Yumi: How can she go first?

Hotel room 202.

When the phone rang, Katsuhiko and Yuma Shinsaki had just entered their resting phase. They were lying on the bed, embracing each other and panting. One of their bodies, soft and flushed, and the other's strong and muscular body, were covered with a layer of slippery sweat.

The mobile phone was in the inner pocket of Sheng Yan's jacket, which was hanging on the coat rack behind the door. The ringtone wasn't very loud.

Katsuhiko released Yuma Kamisaki and walked barefoot to the clothes rack.

Yuma Kanzaki's slightly dazed gaze lingered on Katsuhiko.

"Hello?" Katsuhiko answered the phone.

"Really? How was the footage? Isn't your husband handsome...? It must be thanks to Sayuri-chan... You mean Mikoto? Oh, did Kotoha let it slip? She's such an idiot... Yes, yes, yes, that's probably what you're thinking... Sayuri-chan is so considerate, no wonder she's my ideal wife. I'll comfort you when we get home tonight... Still want to catch him? Okay, okay, okay, whatever makes you happy..."

After about three to five minutes, Katsuhiko hung up the phone.

Yuma Kazaki was already sitting on the edge of the bed, covered only by a thin sheet. Her bare right foot was on the floor, her left leg was crossed over her right leg, her right hand was on her left leg, and a cigarette was held between the index and middle fingers of her left hand. She only put the cigarette holder to her lips without lighting it, and her face looked very melancholy.

Sheng Yan asked in surprise, "You smoke?"

“I don’t smoke,” Yuma Kazaki shook her head slightly, still holding the cigarette in her hand, with a melancholy expression and somewhat vacant eyes. She continued, “I just feel that it should be like this.”

The tone of Sheng Yan's voice when he talked to Xiao Baihe on the phone made her feel inferior and suffocated.

“It looks pretty cool. If you don’t smoke, don’t do this,” Katsuhiko said, taking the cigarette from between her fingers and handing her a bottle of mineral water from the bedside table. He then sat down next to her and said, “You can drink mineral water instead, that’s cool too.”

Shinsaki Yuma stared blankly, her eyes trembling slightly. Clutching the mineral water bottle, she turned to look at Katsuhiko, remaining silent for four or five seconds. Her breathing became increasingly rapid, and her heart pounded.

An impulse welled up inside her...

Sheng Yan met her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Could you take me to register?"

Yuma Kanzaki was still staring blankly at Katsuhiko, her body trembling as if in sync with her wildly beating heart. With a nasal, tearful voice, she stammered, "I, I don't want your money... I'll earn my own money to pay off my debts, I can sign a contract... As long as you agree, I... I'll do whatever you say, anything."

As she finished speaking, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She lowered her head, her eyes darting away, and the mineral water bottle in her hand was crushed. Tears welled up in her eyes, sliding down her nose and dripping down her nose.

"Isn't it good to maintain this relationship?" Sheng Yan quickly took the bottle of mineral water containing the [Recovery Potion], then pulled out a tissue and handed it to her, saying, "Many people are like this. You happen to be short of money, and I happen to be able to make money. You can also relax a bit."

"I don't want money," Yuma Kamisaki said, her hand clutching a crumpled tissue. She kept her head down, tears streaming down her face. Then she turned away, collapsed onto her pillow, and sobbed, "Mikoto's already registered her marriage. I'm so envious of her and Sayuri. I want to get married too. I want a home, I want to be your wife… I'm so heartbroken…"

Katsuhiko's rejection of the same response instantly shattered her "do or die" mentality. She didn't know how to vent her pent-up frustration, and could only instinctively cry, but the more she cried, the more miserable she felt…

Katsuhiko sat further into the bed, placed his hands on her trembling shoulders as she cried, pulled her onto himself, and then lay back on the bed, saying, "Are you still that violent karate teacher?"

Yuma Kanzaki collapsed against Katsuhiko's chest, still sobbing uncontrollably, murmuring incoherent words, her face deathly pale from crying.

"It's so late, the registration office must have closed long ago. How about we register tomorrow at noon?"

Yuma Kazaki's limp body stiffened, her tear-reddened eyes widened, and she raised her head with a blank look in her eyes. Her slightly parted pink lips trembled, but she didn't make a sound, only breathing rapidly.

Sheng Yan raised an eyebrow, then extended his index finger to support her fair chin, and said, "Say thank you."

Kazaki Yuma gasped for breath, two streams of blood flowing from her nostrils. She ignored them, instead pressing her smooth body down on him...

As the next round of battle began here, Mikoto, at the convenience store, closed the store's rolling shutter door and took the dozing Chinatsu home on her bicycle...

As soon as they arrived at the front door, they noticed the lights were on inside. Mikoto instinctively assumed that Katsuhiko was waiting for her, so she quickly carried Chinatsu into the room.

An interview program was playing on the television, and Katsuhiko was talking animatedly to the camera...

On the sofa opposite the TV was Kanzaki Yumi. On the coffee table in front of her were many beer cans and sunflower seed shells.

She turned around with a big smile and said, "Sister Mikoto, I did you a huge favor today~ How are you going to thank me?"

It was in the convenience store that, when she provoked Sayuri by impersonating Yuma Kanzaki, Sayuri angrily declared: "Even if Mikoto becomes her husband's girlfriend, I won't let Yuma Kanzaki get involved..."

Mikoto put the dozing Chinatsu into the children's room, then sat on the sofa, picked up some melon seeds and started cracking them open, saying, "I couldn't help her, because Eiyo and Kotoha came and messed things up."

It was such a close call; Sayuri was almost going to agree. What a pity...

Kanzaki Yumi chuckled twice, tugged at Mikoto's arm and shook it a couple of times, saying, "Mikoto-neechan, give me a break! How are you planning to catch me, Sayuri-chan?"

"I don't know." Mikoto smiled, shook her head, picked up a can of beer, tore off the cap, took a swig, and continued, "Since Sayuri has accepted you, can't you make her happy? You should be grateful."

“Okay! Thanks for your help last time,” Kanzaki Yumi said, taking a swig of beer. “So what if I get arrested? I don’t care. If they break my legs, I’ll have her husband take care of me 24/7.”

Mikoto chuckled and said, "Sayuri-chan wouldn't be so tactless."

“My foolish sister dares to do that.” Kanzaki Yumi shook her head and said sadly, “Did you see the news today? My lovely fans forced her to break up with Katsuhiko-kun. She must hate me to death… Haha… I’m already looking forward to the future concerts.”

Finally, she couldn't help but laugh, clutching her stomach and patting the sofa for a while before continuing, "Luckily, I stirred up trouble between her and Sayuri-chan. As long as she doesn't corner me in bed, I have countless ways to escape..."

"That's a real shame. After you escaped, Sayuri realized what was going on and saw through your trick. She's going to team up with Yuma to catch you."

Mikoto really couldn't be sure if Yuma Kanzaki would break Yumi Kanzaki's legs.

Considering their physical altercation at the press conference, I'm a bit worried and have decided to reveal some information. After all, a broken leg is a serious matter that could severely affect the harmony between the sisters and the stability of the harem.

Kanzaki Yumi's smile froze, and she stood up abruptly, saying, "Could it be that Eiyo and Kotoha exposed it? When I left, Sayuri seemed so innocent that she couldn't possibly have noticed anything. After all, she even fooled you, you old fox."

"Old fox?!" Mikoto was stunned. She grabbed an orange from the coffee table and shoved it into Kanzaki Yumi's mouth, saying irritably, "Just wait until we catch you too! We'll break your legs."

Kanzaki Yumi chuckled awkwardly, bowed repeatedly in apology, and explained that "Old Fox" was an affectionate nickname; she couldn't help it, she was just too envious of your relationship with Sayuri, not only did you get half of her husband, but she also trusted you completely...

Mikoto wasn't really angry, but judging from her tone, it seemed she shared the same goal as Eiyo and Kotoha: to register her marriage with Katsuhiko...

At this point, she was also in a bad mood and was really worried that if there were too many people around, it would be exposed. She immediately asked, "Do you know that this is illegal? If it is exposed, it will be an invalid marriage and you will be sentenced to two years in prison."

“Of course I know, I’m a lawyer.” Kanzaki Yumi blinked and nodded. “That night, didn’t you directly threaten your husband? Every time I think about it, I regret it so much that I want to bang my head. I should have pretended to be pitiful, just threw myself into his arms and cried and begged him to take me to register our marriage. I was so stupid.”

"Who wants to hear your regretful remarks?" Mikoto slapped her on the head in annoyance, then asked, "I don't think it can be hidden for long. After all, my husband has become a celebrity. There will be too many paparazzi following and taking pictures of him. If his influence is too great, the government departments might investigate him out of boredom. Do you have any ideas? For example, if he is exposed and prosecuted, at least don't get arrested."

Mikoto did research a lot of information about asking for favors and using connections.

It's basically impossible for me here. Not only have I graduated several years ago, but I also graduated from a third-rate university. According to the theory of "academic monopoly," I've monopolized industries like "corporate slaves," "unemployment," "debt," "bankruptcy," and even "homelessness," and have nothing to do with the elite social class.

Yuma Kanzaki is quite good; she probably has connections. After all, she's a student at Waseda University, a top student within the Waseda clique, and has a strong influence in the areas of public opinion and information dissemination.

Yumi Kanzaki is in a better position here; she has a higher level of education. She's from the Akamon faction at the University of Tokyo, a cradle for cultivating high-ranking bureaucrats, and academia, politics, and finance. It's a real waste that she didn't take the civil service exam.

Mikoto had high expectations for Kanzaki Yumi's network of connections.

"How could I dare to build any connections?" Kanzaki Yumi frowned and took a swig of beer. She continued, "Someone like me, with no background and decent looks, if I even have the slightest desire to build connections, I'd have to sleep with someone. Wouldn't that be cheating on your husband? Don't frame me. You should ask Yuma instead."

Mikoto's eyes widened in disbelief as she said, "So this is what your elite circles are like?"

"That's how it is. Many of my classmates in the dorm have already blended in and are dating a lot of married older men. They are very jealous of me because I am 'untainted by the mud,' and they want to taint me. I won't play with them. I am a woman with aspirations, and I am determined to marry your husband and have children."

Kanzaki Yumi looked very pleased with herself.

"I think I'll ask my husband..."

Mikoto was so angry she laughed. She didn't want to chat with her anymore, but the issue of bigamy did feel quite urgent. She immediately got up, walked to the phone, and dialed Katsuhiko's mobile phone number.

Yumi Kanzaki also leaned over and pressed the speakerphone button.

After all, she had seen the latest news: Katsuhiko and Yuma Kanzaki were on a date, and they hadn't returned yet so late; they must have already gone to a hotel...

The phone was answered after only half a ring.

First came a series of rolling sounds, like a portable phone being dropped and rolled on the floor.

In the background of the phone call, there was a series of "slapping" sounds, followed by panting, and then nothing else.

Katsuhiko seemed to be busy with Yuma Kanzaki, and Mikoto's face immediately turned bright red. With mixed feelings, she was about to hang up the phone.

Kanzaki Yumi snatched the phone, tilted her head, and listened for a while with her bright red ears. Then she opened her eyes wide and whispered, "Could it be that they accidentally pressed the answer button?"

Mikoto placed her hand on her flushed forehead and whispered, "That's about it. Let's hang up now and call again later."

"Why did you hang up?" Kanzaki Yumi sat on the sofa, holding the phone and cracking sunflower seeds. "This was my best chance to spy on my rival."

I don't know how long the sound lasted, but then it stopped, and all that was left were the panting sounds of someone exhausted.

"No way?" Kanzaki Yumi whispered, glancing at Mikoto who was also eavesdropping. "Kanzaki Yumi is really good at holding back. She hasn't said a word for so long. Is that acceptable?"

“How could I possibly know?” Mikoto waved her hand haphazardly, then said, “I’m done with my work, hang up now and call back.”

"Listen a little longer," Kanzaki Yumi said, bringing the phone to her ear. "I want to hear if she's saying anything bad about me."

A little while later, Yuma Kamisaki's voice, weak yet tinged with shyness, rang out: "Can I...can I call you husband now?"

Kanzaki Yumi, who was eavesdropping on the phone, shuddered dramatically, goosebumps rose on her cheek, and her eyes widened.

Such a cheesy voice, coming from Yuma Kanzaki's mouth... Seriously, husband? I'm too embarrassed to call myself husband, how dare she?

Katsuhiko said he didn't care and that people could call him whatever they wanted.

After a while, Yuma Kamisaki whispered again, "Um, honey~ what time should we register tomorrow?"

Whoosh!

The phone fell from Kanzaki Yumi's hand, the cord detached. She quickly picked it up, frantically plugged it back in, and frantically dialed a number. Her trembling hands made it difficult to press the keys, and she cried out urgently, her voice trembling with tears, "Mikoto-neechan, quick, quick, quick, call her! I don't accept this, I don't accept this... How could she get to call first..."

Chapter 103 The Sisters Fight Each Other a Second Time

Mikoto was somewhat surprised, but it was also within her expectations.

After all, Katsuhiko had tacitly agreed to Eiyo and Kotoha's "marriage due to pregnancy".

As a blank slate, Yuma Kanzaki is a year or two younger than Sayuri, so she probably hasn't graduated yet.

Of course, Kanzaki Yumi was also a blank slate, but she had too many ulterior motives and wasted a registration opportunity.

Mikoto suppressed a laugh, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

“Mikoto-neechan,” Kanzaki Yumi pressed Mikoto’s hand, her eyes wide and darting around, and whispered, “Could you please ask them what time they register tomorrow, where they register, and how they need to meet?”

Mikoto was taken aback and asked in surprise, "You're not going to take the blame for me, are you?"

Kanzaki Yumi knelt down with a thud, hugged Mikoto's legs, tilted her head back, shook her legs, and said pitifully, "Mikoto-neechan, promise me, promise me, in the next life I'll be your cow or your horse, really, really."

"There's no need for this!" Mikoto said helplessly. "As long as it's not exposed, you'll be in trouble sooner or later anyway."

“She attended the press conference in my place, and I registered in her place. It’s perfectly reasonable,” Kanzaki Yumi said confidently. “You said it was sooner or later, so I went a little earlier than her. It won’t delay her.”

“I wouldn’t dare do anything reckless,” Mikoto quickly pushed Kanzaki Yumi away, then said, “You’ll have to figure it out yourself!”

Mikoto's attitude was firm. Although the two of them were indeed going to meet sooner or later, and her husband probably wouldn't mind taking the blame, she couldn't resist the fact that they cared about the order of events. If she really wanted to find out, she would be an accomplice, which would be detrimental to the stability of the relationship between them.
