My love index is at its maximum.

Kiki noticed Qichuan Yui's aloof demeanor and felt a pang of sympathy for the "loser."

The remaining ninety-odd points are sweet.

He ignored a beautiful girl whose family background, appearance, and academic performance were all superior to his own, but he showed special favor to her and even agreed to have a relationship with her.

This differential treatment left the innocent and adorable country girl's heart riddled with wounds. Hiding in an unseen, dark corner, the little cutie rested her cheeks on her hands, her eyes sparkling, looking at Tsukasa Tazaki with the same drooling expression she had when standing in front of a cake display case, drooling over the cakes with a "I really want to eat them!" look on her face.

Kiki is the most handsome guy in the world! Shiori Ninomiya's stock index rose 50 points; current stock price: 290.

A notification popped up in front of him indicating that the stock price of his beloved character was rising, and Tsukasa Tazaki raised his hand to check his watch.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

I don't know when Kuriyama Sakura will be back. To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, I should ask the blonde to leave as soon as possible.

"Kikawa-kun..."

Tsukasa Tazaki shrugged slightly and said calmly, "You should go back. You know you're just a rumored ex, and you shouldn't have stayed in my room so late no matter how you look at it."

As Kikawa parted her lips slightly, about to speak, Tsukasa Tazaki raised his hand to interrupt her: "You're a genius girl too, you can't possibly have forgotten what I said before, can you?"

“...I know.”

Kikawa Yui reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear, revealing her small, round ear, which had long been dyed red.

"So, are you planning to show it to me now?"

"no……"

The blonde girl's gaze darted around, her eyes avoiding his gaze. In a voice that sounded almost like a sigh, she said, "Please have a kendo match with me. If you win, I can..."

I hesitated for the rest of the sentence and couldn't quite get it out.

Even the kendo competition was a way for her to save face after listening to her mother, a way to try to soften her stance in front of the opposite sex.

Tsukasa Tazaki asked with interest, "What can you do?"

"I can……"

Kikawa Yui took a deep breath, just about to say it out loud.

"Knock knock~!"

"To! Saki! Tsukasa!"

Why are you locking the door?!

"Hurry! Open it! For me!"

The voice was chillingly cold.

It seems that even after going for such a long walk, the minister's anger has not subsided at all.

Tazaki Tsukasa immediately turned to the blond-haired man: "You, hide right now!"

"..."

It felt like the empress was coming to catch her husband's mistress... Qichuan Wei felt a pang of sadness and said aggrievedly, "Why should I hide?"

"Now is not the time to explain, hurry up!"

"I do not!"

Kikawa Yui gritted her teeth and shook her head vigorously: "No, I want to see why you're treating me differently!"

Tsukasa Tazaki: "?"

Why are you treating me differently? Don't you have any self-awareness?

Now it was his turn to harden his fist.

Kuriyama Sakura is now a powder keg that could explode at any moment. Judging from her hostility towards the blond-haired man, she would definitely explode the moment she sees him in the house.

Or maybe we should just knock the golden retriever unconscious and stuff it in the closet.

calm.

Calm down!

Force should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Tazaki Tsukasa shook his head vigorously, a flash of wisdom crossing his mind.

Got it!

“Didn’t you want to know why I treated her differently?” He pointed to the wardrobe and said, “Kuriyama-san is somewhat similar to you in personality; she’s equally arrogant. But we get along very well. You might as well go inside and secretly observe how we communicate, and your doubts will naturally be answered.”

Yui Kichikawa felt that what he said made some sense.

He nodded, walked to the wardrobe, reached out and opened the sliding door, and then...

"Hello, Kikawa-san, what a coincidence!" The Hokkaido girl who suddenly appeared in front of her waved and greeted her politely but awkwardly: "Would you believe me if I said I was playing hide-and-seek?"

?

Kikawa turned around and looked at Tazaki Tsukasa with a blank expression: "You two..."

Tsukasa Tazaki: "..."

In his moment of confusion, he completely forgot that his little darling was hiding inside the closet.

The situation was urgent, and there was no time to explain.

He reached out and shoved the golden retriever into the closet, then ran to the door and hid her shoes to make sure no trace was left. After that, he opened the door and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, I was a little afraid of the angry Minister, so I opened the door late."

This is absolutely true.

By speaking out first, he could avoid being exposed when Kuriyama Sakura questioned him, and he also wouldn't break his promise not to lie to her.

Tsukasa Tazaki thought he was really clever.

only……

The moment Kuriyama Sakura stepped into the room, she frowned deeply, clearly indicating that something in the room displeased her.

Her intuition is very sharp; she must have noticed something.

Tsukasa Tazaki didn't expect to be able to keep it from her; he just wanted her not to pursue the matter.

Pretending not to notice her odd behavior, he hummed Elvis Presley's "Blue Hawaii" as he walked to the table and poured wine.

Night had just fallen

We are all still young

Hey, come quick!

Taking advantage of the bright moon shining on the sea

The purple wine was poured into a crystal-clear glass. Tsukasa Tazaki picked up a glass and turned to look at the department head: "You must be tired after walking around for so long. Come and rest for a while."

Kuriyama Sakura bent down to take off her high heels, and walked to her seat with a suspicious look on her face. While drinking in silence, her eyes darted around.

Tazaki asked a few casual questions, but she didn't even bother to reply, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

After finishing a glass of wine.

Kuriyama Sakura gently massaged her swollen and painful ankles under the table, staring intently at Tazaki Tsukasa and asking, "Was another woman in here just now?"

Chapter 190 None of the three high school girls were easy to deal with.

The air inside was very still, with no sound except for the chirping of insects.

Kuriyama Sakura glanced at Tazaki Tsukasa, then her gaze fell on the floor, her eyes empty and cold. The chandelier above her head cast a warm yellow light, and small moths outside the window fluttered their wings like scraps of paper.

Tazaki Tsukasa pretended to be nonchalant and said casually, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from the minister. Someone did come in just now."

"Who, and where did they seduce this girl from?"

Kuriyama Sakura sighed deeply and added, "Or perhaps, where did she seduce this auntie?"

"How dare I be so presumptuous in front of the Minister..." Tazaki Tsukasa shook his neck a few times, forcing a smile: "It's Ninomiya, she seemed very happy today. She couldn't sleep, so she came and chatted with me for a while."

Kuriyama Sakura stared at him like he was an idiot for 30 seconds, then picked up a strand of golden hair from the table with two fingers: "What's this?"

"……hehe."

Tazaki Tsukasa chuckled dryly, looked out the window and murmured, "It seems that Kikawa-san is under a lot of pressure. He's so young and already has a hair loss crisis."

As night deepened, the streetlights in Kamakura at the foot of the mountain gradually dimmed, leaving only the streetlights and neon lights still flickering, while the sound of ship horns on the sea, carried by the gentle sea breeze, approached from afar.

pretty good.

This summer night was truly full of charm and surprises.

If the minister loses his temper, then he should consider carrying the train back to Tokyo overnight to apologize to his sister.

Kuriyama Sakura leaned back in her chair and slowly crossed her arms.

Her eyes were somewhat vacant, and her delicate face looked fragile. She was so beautiful that one couldn't help but curse inwardly: Which bastard could bear to make her angry?

She seemed to be deep in thought, and her contemplation took a long time. Her vacant gaze soon returned to its usual cool indifference, and she stood up and walked towards the door.

As she walked, Kuriyama Sakura pondered Tazaki Tsukasa's reaction.

Tazaki Tsukasa was naturally a little afraid of getting angry, but not to the point of being afraid to open the door. During the time it took for me to knock, he was definitely dealing with some tricky matters.

And two more people came in here...

Just as she was about to reach the door, Kuriyama Sakura suddenly glanced at the only wardrobe in the room that could hide someone, and as if she remembered something, she turned back, curled up in a chair, hugged her legs, rested her chin on her knees, and stared at him.

Tsukasa Tazaki smiled at her.

The minister's face didn't look good, and his small tiger teeth, which he was biting his lower lip, were slightly white under the light.

“I will never forgive you,” she said in a hoarse voice.

Tazaki Tsukasa looked into her clear, cold pupils and saw a little Sakura with a very detailed expression in the deepest part of her pupils, shouting in a funny way: Can you hear how angry I am? Hurry up and coax me!

Look, Minister, she's just so adorable.

She is aloof and superior. But when she truly has something on her mind that she wants to confide in, she will subtly express it without removing her aloof mask, so that Tsukasa Tazaki will be more sensible.

Summer nights~

A summer night that can paint one's heart and soul with a soft, indigo blue!
