My love index is at its maximum.

It's so painful!

I feel like throwing up!

But you still have to endure it!

You absolutely must hold back!

If only Tsukasa Tazaki were there, it wouldn't matter. Perhaps it's because he's seen her embarrassing state so many times already, one more time wouldn't hurt. She could even use her position as department head to throw a little tantrum and order Tsukasa Tazaki to eat it for her.

Anyway, this masochist will definitely listen to me obediently.

But now that Yui Kawakawa is watching, things are different. If we admit defeat and back down, the department head will feel very ashamed.

With a smile, Yui Kichikawa asked, "How does it taste?"

"Not bad." Kuriyama Sakura forced herself to swallow, then put the second piece into her mouth.

Another spicy sensation rushed to my head.

The minister's body trembled almost imperceptibly, his toes curling tightly inside his stockings.

"Orange peel is very nutritious..." Tsukasa Tazaki looked at her with pity, intending to say something to distract her, "It contains a lot of vitamin C, and eating it can help with digestion, phlegm, stomach health, dampness removal, and lowering blood pressure."

Yui Kikawa tilted her head and looked at Tsukasa Tazaki, pretending to be innocent, and said, "Does raw orange peel have this function? It seems I'll have to feed you orange peel more often from now on."

"..."

Brother, you're so mean!

But the more she tripped him up, the more real Tazaki Tsukasa felt her presence was, and the more he liked her. If she could be even more wicked, that would be even better…

A bold idea popped into his head. He turned his gaze to the orange that Kuriyama Sakura had peeled and subtly winked at his older brother.

During this time, Kuriyama Sakura ate her third piece of orange peel.

Kikawa Yui reached out and took the orange that she had peeled.

She broke off a segment and, with her slender, fair fingers, peeled away the white veins on the surface of the fruit, one by one.

Big brother is absolutely right!

Tazaki Tsukasa stared blankly as the fingertip slowly moved along the glistening fruit flesh. The light and elegant movement looked incredibly solemn, as if a ceremony of great importance to the fate of humanity was being held.

"Open your mouth." Yui Kikawa handed over the peeled fruit.

"Ah~"

Tsukasa Tazaki opened his mouth and leaned closer.

In his plan, his older brother would feed him the whole segment of orange.

This would provoke Kuriyama Sakura, intensifying the confrontation between her and Shigawa Yui. As for herself, being the passive party, the hostility she would suffer would be negligible.

The idea is very good.

Unfortunately, there was a slight mishap in its implementation.

Instead of stuffing the whole orange segment into his mouth as he wished, Qichuan Wei only let him bite off the top half, while she still held the bottom half between her fingers.

Kuriyama Sakura took a deep breath.

After finishing the last piece of orange peel, she kept her eyes fixed on the half-eaten piece of fruit in the blonde girl's hand.

Tsukasa Tazaki was also staring, and opened her mouth again: "Ah~"

Brother!

Stop messing around!

This is going to get really bad!

The blonde girl, who was in the center of their gazes, smiled beautifully, leaned back on the soft sofa, and tossed half a piece of fruit into her small mouth.

"Wow, it's so sweet!"

The moment Yui Kikawa uttered her voice, Tsukasa Tazaki trembled.

Kuriyama Sakura's icy gaze, like a cold wind sweeping through the Hokkaido coniferous forest, pierced through his body and lingered in the small room for a long time.

The fifth round.

Yui Kikkawa picked up the dice and tossed them aside casually.

Do 30 sit-ups in one go

"Tasaki, come help me stretch my legs." Yui Kikawa smiled warmly, a smile that reminded one of a faded old photograph that had been sitting in a drawer for a long time before being taken out to look at.

"..." Tsukasa Tazaki turned his head and glanced cautiously at Sakura Kuriyama.

The minister crossed his arms and tapped his arms rhythmically with his fingers.

Her eyes were as cold and clear as two pools of ice water, so clear that one dared not touch them. Her soft lips were slightly pursed, as if she were making a speechless gesture.

"Dare! Touch! You! Are! Dead!"

that's all.

It was information that Tsukasa Tazaki gleaned from her body language.

Should we still touch it?

Her gaze swept over his conflicted expression, and Yui Kikawa chuckled with amusement. She stood up, walked over to Tsukasa Tazaki, and lay down beside him, her long, golden hair spreading out beneath her, a breathtaking sight.

Tsukasa Tazaki turned around and looked into her clear blue eyes.

A faint glimmer flickered in the depths of her eyes; her thin lips subtly shifted shape with each change of expression; her legs were bent and brought together; her white stockings were flawless; and her crystal high heels shimmered with a captivating light.

It has a sensual connotation!

Tazaki Tsukasa slowly moved closer and touched those beautiful legs in white stockings.

He knew his older brother's legs very well, and he knew how comfortable they felt to touch. He even knew the details of the thighs at the top of those white stockings, and the style and color of the underwear underneath.

No one in this world understands Yui Kichikawa better than him.

"Are you sure you want to?" Tsukasa Tazaki asked again.

"I think I understand how you feel." Qichuan Yui took a deep breath and said in a calm voice, "This is something we both have to face, there's no need to be timid."

"Really?"

“Absolutely certain,” Yui Kichikawa replied confidently. “Some things in this world can be undone, and some cannot. I think time is one of those things that cannot be undone. Once it’s reached this point, there’s no going back. We can only look forward. What do you think?”

"That's roughly what happened." Tsukasa Tazaki's tone was somewhat ambiguous.

"Then let's go."

Kikawa Yui took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Tsukasa Tazaki turned around and winked at the minister.

'I want them all!'

Then she turned around and pressed her leg down on Yui Kikawa's high heels.

He lowered his head slightly, resting his cheek against her knee to help stabilize her legs.

The smooth, delicate, and alluring white silk stockings were right in front of him, carrying her unique cologne scent. In Tazaki Tsukasa's mind, the extremely sexy silhouette of Kikawa Yui once again appeared.

Every inch of that fair skin bears its own mark!

Kuriyama Sakura remained silent, looking at the scumbag as if he were an abandoned house about to collapse.

When the blonde girl reached her twentieth number, the minister let go of her hand, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of coffee.

The already cold liquid was more bitter than any cup of coffee I'd ever had before.

Is it because all the bitterness has settled at the bottom?

Or is it simply because it got colder?

She pondered the reason.

He drank the last drop of coffee in the cup in one gulp, leaving not a single drop.

If all the troubles in the world could be like this cup of coffee, which can be solved in one go as long as you make up your mind, how wonderful that would be.

Thirty sit-ups completed.

Yui Kikawa stood up, carefully straightened the wrinkles in her skirt, and looked at Sakura Kuriyama. A beautiful smile appeared on her lips, revealing a smug and satisfied expression.

"Let's begin, it's my turn," Tsukasa Tazaki urged.

Kuriyama Sakura glared at him fiercely.

He was biting his little tiger teeth, and his cheeks were slightly puffed out.

I'm angry.

They're the kind of people who are hard to coax.

The sixth round.

Yui Sugawa helps Tsukasa Tazaki roll the dice.

[Answer a question from the other players]

"Who wants to ask first?" Tsukasa Tazaki looked at the two of them with an inquiring gaze.

Kuriyama Sakura coldly met his gaze, her tone unfriendly: "What method did you use to get Hanami-nee to forgive you for going to Hokkaido?"

“I’m curious too,” Yui Kichikawa chimed in.

"The two of them have the same question..." Tsukasa Tazaki asked expectantly, "Does answering just one of them mean we've passed this hurdle?"

The two girls answered in unison, "Don't even think about it!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they both turned to look at each other, snorted at the same time, and then turned their heads away again.

"Pfft~ Haha."

The highly synchronized movements made Tsukasa Tazaki burst out laughing.

No more.

Those two top beauties are so much fun, I want to see them stick together.

The moment the laughter rang out, two pairs of eyes filled with murderous intent locked onto Tsukasa Tazaki in unison.
