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

Then, she went from trembling at first, to calm, to suspicion, and then her personality changed drastically. She became furious and claimed that she was being abused and that she would fight back...

Katsuhiko definitely didn't want to suffer like that.

However, considering Yingdai's shattered dignity, in order to appease her, he simply lay down on the mattress in a nonchalant manner, indicating: As long as you don't beat people in a freakish way, do whatever you want, I'll do whatever you say...

"I don't care, you said it, so you have to keep your word."

Because of Katsuhiko's promise to give up, Eiyo felt that she had absolute control and was very excited.

After all, she had two huge burdens weighing on her head. As the legal wife, Sayuri was an unshakeable figure, unattainable and unattainable. Even if it was painful, she had to endure it.

I thought I could go toe-to-toe with Mikoto, but I was completely defeated last night. She even accused me of being petty and jealous, though Mikoto didn't say it explicitly, that's the gist of it.

This situation made Yingdai feel extremely insecure.

To fill the void in her heart, Eiyo works incredibly hard while she can "completely possess" Katsuhiko. When she collapses from exhaustion, she drinks a sip of water mixed with a "restoration potion"...

She didn't know what happened, but after resting for a while, she was full of energy again.

"It's probably true love," Eiyo thought, remembering Mikoto's sarcastic remark about her. How infuriating! My true love is even more genuine than hers!

Meanwhile, Eiyo was secretly pleased with herself. Through what she had overheard a few days ago about "Mikoto and Katsuhiko's affair next door," she realized that Mikoto was indeed a useless woman who was always crying for help and couldn't even fulfill Katsuhiko's simple request for assistance...

Now, the thought that Katsuhiko was still on the mattress, and that she still had the power to control him, made Eiya tremble with happiness.

I was so tired last night that I couldn't do anything... But even just holding him like this is nice, every second counts... In these few seconds, he belongs to me alone...

Sheng Yan glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table; it was 7:30 a.m.

Chinatsu-chan is going to school, Mikoto should come pick her up...

And what about Qinye? She needs to eat breakfast too, right?

Sayuri will probably bring Mrs. Kudo along to visit as well, right?

Mr. Kudo is still in the police station, and it's anyone's guess when he'll be brought to trial. As his lawyer, Eiyo has to be there. Also, she needs to notify the workers at the food processing plant. There's been a lot of trouble today...

“If you keep clinging to me like this,” Sheng Yan immediately frowned and glared at him, “I’m breaking up with you.”

"Say it again!" Yingdai froze, pressed her smooth forehead against Shengyan's forehead, then opened her mouth, her two rows of sharp white teeth biting Shengyan's nose, and said indistinctly, "This is not a request, this is a threat. Think carefully before you speak."

"Sweetie, stop fooling around, I was just joking. Let go, let go."

Her nose was really bitten by her teeth.

As she spoke, her tongue kept licking the tip of her nose, which didn't seem like a pleasant sensation. Her red eyes clearly showed she wasn't joking…

Katsuhiko's hair stood on end.

“You said you only like me.” Yingdai’s eyes darted around.

“Any demands made under threat are invalid. You are a lawyer, you should know that.”

"I want to listen even if it's invalid."

"Fine, I only like you." Katsuhiko rolled his eyes.

"That's too perfunctory," Yingdai said with a smile in her eyes.

“That’s cheesy enough already, don’t be so ungrateful,” Katsuhiko moved the hands that were pressed on either side of his head to his waist. “Chinatsu-chan is next door, if you keep making a fuss, I’m going to yell.”

"You, you're not allowed to shout," Yingdai pressed down on Shengyan with her entire upper body, and continued to press his hands down on either side of his waist, "If you dare to shout, I'll bite off your nose."

Without a second thought, Katsuhiko stubbornly forced a smile and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Chinatsu-chan!!! It's time to go to school!!!"

"asshole!"

Yingdai jumped out of bed, quickly grabbed her clothes, and frantically put them on...

Chika, who was in the next children's room, heard it, but she didn't want to go to school at all, and even covered her ears with her pillow.

However, it was time for school, and just as Katsuhiko and Eiyo finished getting dressed, the doorbell rang.

The front door wasn't locked last night, so Mikoto rang the doorbell and came right in.

Eiyo, who was initially angry with Katsuhiko, immediately became embarrassed upon seeing Mikoto's smiling face, avoiding eye contact with her.

Even when Mikoto deliberately circled around to look at her face, she turned away.

"How was last night?" Mikoto whispered in Eiyo's ear.

“Better than you…” Yingdai said softly, her face flushed.

“Okay…” Mikoto covered her mouth and chuckled, then turned back and said, “Mr. Takenaka, Sayuri-chan and Mrs. Kudo are looking for Eiyo-chan at the prosecutor’s office! Can Eiyo-chan handle it?”

"Have they already come to my house looking for me?" Eiyo's face stiffened, and she grabbed Mikoto's hand, asking, "Did you tell her where I am?"

She would have forgotten about it if Mikoto hadn't brought it up.

This is a pretty serious situation. How am I going to meet Sayuri later? I feel so guilty...

Eiyo's worries were completely unnecessary. Mikoto wanted to keep the harem stable, so she naturally wouldn't say anything carelessly. She simply told her: Eiyo is here to cook.

Sayuri and Mrs. Kudo wanted to come and help, but Mikoto quickly made an excuse that "Kotoha needs someone to keep her company."

However, if this goes on for too long, they'll probably send someone over to check on things...

"No, no, I have to get there right away..." Yingdai hurriedly put on her shoes.

Katsuhiko asked, "How did you tell them where I was?"

Mikoto shrugged: "It must be because he's busy with company affairs!"

"I have to go now," Katsuhiko said, giving Mikoto a quick kiss on the cheek before lightly slapping her bottom. "Mikoto-chan is great, I'll play with you tonight~"

Eiyo, who was putting on her shoes, suddenly turned her head, opened her eyes wide, and stared at Mikoto's buttocks.

Her eyes held scrutiny and curiosity.

Mikoto's expression remained unchanged. She winked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hmph~" Yingdai turned around abruptly, put on her shoes, and left.

As Eiyo followed Katsuhiko out the door, she kicked him in the backside and said, "I'm going to the prosecutor's office with Sayuri today. You go to the factory and tell the workers yourself!"

After she finished speaking, she ran off with a grin. Her yandere demeanor this morning felt like a hallucination…

Katsuhiko also found it inconvenient to go to Kotoha's house, since going there would expose Mikoto's good intentions.

So she drove Mikoto's silver-gray Mazda and took a detour to the food processing plant.

In Chapter 45, Kenta's portrait shows him smiling brightly.

Eiyo felt a sense of pleasure from successfully sneaking a hit on Katsuhiko's butt, but she was also a little disappointed. Next time she could use her hand to hit him, since he had already hit her more than a dozen times and touched her, so she should touch him back...

As Eiyo walked towards Kotoha's house, she slapped the air in front of her with her hand, muttering with a grin, "Pat, pat, touch~~ pat, pat, touch~~ pat, pat, uh, Sayuri-chan?"

As Yingdai turned into the alley, she bumped into Xiaobaihe walking towards her.

Little Sayuri looked up at her with a curious expression and asked, "Sister Eida, what are you doing?"

"I, I..." Yingdai didn't dare to look at Xiaobaihe's innocent face, and subconsciously looked up at the blue sky, "I, I'm practicing, fighting off perverts!"

"Oh, so that's how it is..."

When Xiaobaihe saw her flushed face, she secretly guessed that it couldn't be her. If she wanted to beat up a pervert, two slaps would have been enough. Why would she touch him?

And she was smiling "mischievously" just now, just like when Mikoto misses her boyfriend, so she probably got a boyfriend too!

If it were someone like Mikoto, I'd definitely tease her a bit.

Should we make a few teasing remarks? Little Lily suddenly had a bright idea; that should quickly build rapport, right?

After all, that's how I got to know Misaka...

"Little, Little Lily, are you here to pick me up?" Seeing Little Lily's eyes darting around, Eitai's throat bobbing was sore, and she turned to leave. "Let's go!"

“Okay,” Sayuri ran a few steps and imitated Eita’s gesture of hitting the air, muttering, “Slap, slap, touch~~ Eita-neechan, I know ‘slap slap’ means to hit, but how do I deal with a pervert with ‘touch’?”

"It's...it's...uh~ I'm home, I'm home."

Yingdai was sweating profusely and ran quickly into the house.

Sayuri covered her mouth and giggled, realizing that Eiyo-neechan wasn't so cold after all, and was actually quite cute! If only Mikoto-neechan were shy like that, she wouldn't be afraid of being teased by her anymore…

Just as Yingdai reached the door, Qinye, who was still kneeling in front of the mourning hall, subconsciously turned her head to look back.

Last night, Yingdai looked preoccupied and haggard, but now she looks radiant. It's the first time I've ever seen her like this.

Qin Ye subconsciously squeezed the platinum ring on her right ring finger. A sudden feeling of grievance welled up inside her, and her mind went blank. She blurted out:

"Sister Yingdai, how was your night?"

Yingdai was changing her shoes at the entrance when she almost lost her balance and turned around in surprise.

Qin Ye's eyes darted away, and she quickly lowered her head.

Mrs. Kudo was on the balcony, hanging the bedding on the clothesline...

Yingdai quickly sat down next to Qinye and asked in a low voice, "You don't think of me as an enemy, do you?"

"I was just asking," Qinye said softly, head down, "After all, I was the one who brought them together..."

Are there still secrets between us?

Yingdai's face flushed red. She had been on tenterhooks with Xiaobaihe, and now that she was home, Qinye had cornered her. She was furious. She pinched Qinye's thigh, got up, and went into the bedroom, muttering angrily, "Our fates are the same. You can't escape anyway. You actually showed hostility towards me. It hurts me so much..."

Kotoha pursed her lips and pressed her leg, which Eiyo had twisted. It didn't hurt much, but it was still a little painful...

I talked a lot with Mikoto last night.

She said she felt that Yingdai was trying to hog the food and wanted her to sound her out...

Qin Ye was first stunned, then overwhelmed with shame, wishing she could just smash her head against the mourning hall and die.

Are we already talking about this while we're still keeping vigil for Kenta? What about our reputation?

Then Qinye stopped talking to her and remained silent the whole time.

However, Mikoto's incessant chatter made Kotoha a little uneasy. After all, her future life would definitely be entangled with Katsuhiko; he was so considerate, so caring, never showing any disdain, and had even helped her save her factory…

But if no one gives me a push, I'll be too ashamed to take that step... If Eiyo is really like Mikoto said, it's definitely over, after all, I was the one who brought them together with my sharp tongue...

However, she breathed a sigh of relief after Yingdai's probing.

She lowered her head, touched the platinum ring on her ring finger, then took it off and placed it next to Kenta's black and white portrait. She pursed her lips and whispered, "Kenta, you'll bless me too, right? At a class reunion before, Yazhi secretly told me that the way he looked at me was strange. I didn't think much of it then, and I didn't know if it was true… probably not. I want to ask Yazhi. Can you tell me where Yazhi is…?"
