My love index is at its maximum.

He's grown to love the scent of Cologne perfume more and more.

"Let me sleep a little longer..." Kichikawa Yui murmured, yawning without opening her eyes. Her adorable body curled up slightly, like a small animal about to hibernate.

Her warm and soft body was completely unguarded at that moment.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Kikawa Yutaka slightly woke up, slowly opening his eyes.

The world I'm awake to looks exactly the same as the world I was in when I fell asleep last night.

The clock on the bedside table pointed to eight. It was already bright outside, and light streamed in through the gaps in the curtains like nails. The light made the darkness of last night seem like a dream, something that happened long ago in some unknown place.

Uh……

How did Tsukasa Tazaki end up in his own bed...?

After staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, Yui Kichikawa finally realized what was going on.

The boy lying to her left kept his arms around her waist, not letting go even when she was awake. He buried his head in her golden hair, his breath coming in through the hair and hitting her neck.

"That bastard... he's despicable!"

Qichuan cursed under her breath and shifted slightly, only to find herself drenched in an unprecedented exhaustion. Her hands and legs ached as if she had just run a marathon, so sore she could barely muster any strength.

at the same time.

The despicable boy intensified his actions, holding her even tighter and whispering in her ear like a lover, "Little Wei, be good..."

With her back pressed against Tsukasa Tazaki's chest, the boy, who had just finished his morning run, was radiating heat. Yui Kikawa subtly shifted her body, trying to get away.

But Tsukasa Tazaki held her tightly, not wanting her to leave.

The friction and pressure between their skin caused Yui Kawakawa to break out in a sweat after a while.

The air in the room began to carry a faint, feminine fragrance, like the alluring scent of gardenias when they are picked.

'hateful!'

'Please stop now!'

'You, you, give it to me... Don't push your luck!'

Kikawa Yui gritted her teeth in anger.

As if she were sulking with Tsukasa Tazaki, she didn't say a word. Instead, she secretly adjusted her body and then suddenly moved her slender waist downwards, trying to escape from Tsukasa Tazaki's arms from below.

Ok?

It looks like I bumped into something...

The phenomenon, which could not be explained by science, caught Shigawa completely off guard. Annoyed and embarrassed, she snuggled back into Tazaki's arms. Having no experience, she simply buried her face in the pillow and pretended to be dead.

Traditional skills...

"Get up and wash up. I'll bring you breakfast."

Knowing when to stop, Tsukasa Tazaki smiled and left the room.

There's no need to rush to finish teasing the older sister in one day; there's plenty of time. It would be better to tease her a little every day from now on…

On the bed, Yui Kikawa savored the warmth of Tsukasa Tazaki's body.

Why is he so bad?

The girl's cheeks were flushed, and she buried her face in the pillow, slapping the sheets with her legs. After a while, she started rolling around on the bed, from left to right and then back to left.

……

Down in the living room on the first floor, Kurisu Kawakawa and Sachiko Tono sat around the table eating breakfast.

The morning sunlight was bright and abundant, and the window offered a view of the city and the sea. With the windows open on both sides, the faint sound of cruise ship horns could be heard from Tokyo Bay.

Hearing footsteps, Kurisu looked up and said with a smile that seemed to want to invade Tsukasa Tazaki's eyes, "After you and Yui sort out your relationship, remember to tell your aunt to be prepared. This hurdle of mine won't be easy to overcome."

“Chestnut…” Sachiko Tono reached out and grabbed her wrist.

“You can’t persuade me about this.” Kurisu Kawakami shook her head.

Sachiko Tono had no choice but to turn her head and look at Tsukasa Tazaki with concern.

"I've been waiting for you, Auntie..." Tsukasa Tazaki smiled, placing a piece of freshly toasted bread onto his plate as he said, "I'm 1/12 stronger than yesterday, Auntie, you're destined to never defeat me!"

Kurisu squinted at his smiling face.

She couldn't quite tell if she was being mocked, but judging from Tsukasa Tazaki's confident expression, the claim of being 1/12 stronger was probably not an exaggeration.

"Also, I have something to say." Tsukasa Tazaki took a glass of milk from the table, drank it all in one gulp, and then spoke. "Since we've chosen to be together, Yui and I are definitely family. I look forward to living with them in the future."

“Impressive,” Kurisu Kirikawa said calmly, “Extraordinary.”

“I believe what Tazaki-kun said!” Sachiko Tono clapped happily.

Kurisu rolled her eyes at her and announced, "From now on, Sachiko belongs to me!"

"Dream on!" Tsukasa Tazaki rolled his eyes at her.

"You two are both mine!" Sachiko Tono raised her hands and stretched out a big yawn.

……

When I brought breakfast back to the room, Yui Kikawa was wearing a large white bathrobe and was half-lying on the bed flipping through the book that Tsukasa Tazaki had read the night before, "Mona Lisa Reboot". The blankets covered her thighs and upper body, revealing her fair calves and delicate pink feet.

Tsukasa Tazaki placed breakfast on the bedside table and drew back the curtains.

The direct sunlight streamed onto the entire bed, bathing the blonde girl in the clear winter light. She looked soft and languid, her exceptional气质 still shining through.

"Here, have some milk first." Tsukasa Tazaki placed the milk in front of her, then picked up a slice of toast and spread jam on it.

Kikawa Yui closed the book and looked at him quietly.

"My aunt just yelled at me," Tsukasa Tazaki said, taking the opportunity to complain.

What did she say?

"She said I can't get close to you anymore, or she'll break my legs."

"Then you'll have to listen to her." Qi Chuanwei finally laughed, stretching her ivory-like slender neck as she sat up straight against the headboard. "But don't blindly obey her, or she might just run off with you one day. I really can't stand her; she's over thirty, but her temper is still like a child's, and she's always making fun of her own daughter..."

"Isn't Xiaowei just like a child too?"

"...You're the child. If you say that again, believe me, I'll kick you out."

"Big brother, I was wrong!"

"I'll let you off this time." Qichuan Wei raised an eyebrow condescendingly, then happily patted her stomach: "My stomach is so empty, I feel weak all over, it's all your fault no matter how you look at it..."

"Let me touch it."

Tsukasa Tazaki was joking, but to her surprise, Yui Kichikawa threw off the covers and said, "Okay."

If you don't touch it, you might as well.

She reached her hand under the covers, then into her bathrobe, and bent over, saying, "You're overthinking it. Stay away from me."

"Eat breakfast!" Tsukasa Tazaki casually picked up a piece of toast covered in jam and stuffed it into her mouth.

They roughly divided breakfast into two portions and sat on the bed eating bread and ham while drinking milk. Midway through, Yui Kikawa turned on the TV to watch the morning news rebroadcast on TV Tokyo. Tsukasa Tazaki talked about his morning run, saying that he didn't know why it seemed like someone was chasing him. As Yui Kikawa listened, she laughed so hard that she almost spilled the whole glass of milk on the sheets.

"Serves you right, you're just annoying, you have no likability at all!"

"Maybe they're chasing after me wanting to take a picture with me?"

"You? Forget it!" Yui Kichikawa said disdainfully, sticking out her little tongue: "Nya ne ne~"

A rare display of girlish charm and innocence.

Now, it seems that she can finally let go of the shackles brought by the word "perfect" and let her lively personality, which had been sealed away, slowly return.

Tsukasa Tazaki was so engrossed in watching that he couldn't help but put down the toast in his hand and use his free hand to hug her.

Her bathrobe slipped down slightly, revealing the girl's delicate collarbone.

When his lips landed on Yui's shoulder, the girl's body recoiled slightly as if struck by lightning. A blush rose on her face, and her long, shapely legs trembled as she said, "...Let me think about it some more."

Tsukasa Tazaki had no choice but to let go of her.

The older brother's mindset was ultimately awkward; he understood this.

Possessiveness is something that's hard to get rid of. Last night was probably due to the effects of fake alcohol. Once she's sober, she'll probably think more carefully about their relationship. She might not mind physical intimacy, but expecting her to be completely obedient or to directly acknowledge their relationship is pure wishful thinking.

After having breakfast, Tsukasa Tazaki moved the tray aside and found a rag to wipe the bedside table clean.

There are many residual marks on the sheets and blankets, so they need to be removed and replaced.

The television on the wall was on, and TV Tokyo started broadcasting anime.

Qichuan sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at the floating clouds in the sky through the French windows.

Occasionally, she would glance back at Tsukasa Tazaki, observing his every move. A gentle and satisfied smile would occasionally appear on her expressionless face. She only ever showed such an expression in front of Tsukasa Tazaki.

After cleaning the entire room, Tsukasa Tazaki turned to look at her: "The weather is pretty good right now. How about we go for a walk on the beach? It might turn cloudy this afternoon. The weather agency just said there's a high chance it will snow tonight."

"No, thank you." Yui Kichikawa shook her head, her tone unusually weary. "I feel so tired..."

Tsukasa Tazaki rolled his eyes twice and walked towards the bedside: "Can you still take it?"

"Uh, okay..." Qichuan Wei glared at him, her face flushed. "Um... I felt much better after applying a hot towel... What are you laughing at? It's all your fault!"

Seeing Tsukasa Tazaki's obnoxious attempt to suppress her laughter, she suddenly became fierce and said loudly, "Fine, I'll go. It's just a walk, what's the big deal? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Haha..." Tsukasa Tazaki finally couldn't help but laugh.

He walked to the bedside, placed his hands on Kichikawa Yui's shoulders, and couldn't stop laughing: "I'm asking if you can still take it. If you can, I want to do it again..."

"...Get out of here!"

Qichuan Wei was so angry that she punched him hard in the chest twice, and then stretched out her leg to kick him in the groin. He dodged with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. Big brother, you should rest in your room. We can talk about other things after you've had enough rest."

"Actually, I'm not that tired, I just feel a little lazier than usual..." Yui Kichikawa shrugged, saying nonchalantly, "I'll just read in bed, you can go out, don't disturb me. By the way... where are you going?"

"I'll stay here with you." Tsukasa Tazaki sat down on the edge of the bed.

Upon receiving his explanation, Yui Kikawa finally smiled again, her eyes brimming with deep satisfaction.

She didn't say anything, but simply moved her body to the other side of the bed to make room for Tsukasa Tazaki to sit down and keep her company.

After Tsukasa Tazaki lay down, she immediately turned over to read, leaving him with only her back to him, unresponsive no matter how she called him.
