My love index is at its maximum.

"Aren't you cold?" Kuriyama Sakura looked at him in the dead of winter with his cold drink and couldn't help but shiver, feeling a chill in her throat, esophagus, and stomach.

"It's not cold," Tsukasa Tazaki shook his head.

"You're such a weirdo!" Kuriyama Sakura muttered.

Yui glanced at her, who was afraid of the cold, reached out and took the half-empty can of cola from Tsukasa Tazaki's hand, tilted her head back and drank it down in one gulp.

"Whoo~"

The blonde girl opened her soft lips and exhaled a warm breath of white air into the air as if she had been relieved.

Kuriyama Sakura stared wide-eyed.

"It's so hot..." Yui Kikawa fanned herself with her hand, took off her jacket and draped it over Tsukasa Tazaki's shoulder, then stretched out an unusually large yawn in front of Sakura Kuriyama.

At this moment, she was only wearing a close-fitting shirt. As her body stretched out, her high and full breasts were on full display. Her slender and soft waist was like a cherry tree in full bloom in spring, making passersby unable to help but stop and admire her.

Kuriyama Sakura stared at her chest subconsciously, murmuring, "...Are they really that big?"

"Alright, Yui, stop teasing her." Tsukasa Tazaki suppressed a laugh and draped Yui's coat over Sakura Kuriyama's shoulders. "If you're cold, go home and enjoy the warmth. Don't just stand here daydreaming."

"Hmm." Kuriyama Sakura nodded, her expression softening slightly.

Just then, Yui Kikawa suddenly snuggled into Tsukasa Tazaki's arms and held his arm tightly: "Tazaki, I'm cold, hold me tighter."

"...My head hurts!" Tsukasa Tazaki sighed helplessly.

Knowing full well that her older brother was doing it on purpose, but with her arms caught in her soft embrace, she could only let her hold her as they walked forward.

The streets lit up with Christmas lights on a winter night give people a warm feeling.

With a defeated lover following behind her, Yui Kawakawa, leaning against Tsukasa Tazaki, felt more exhilarated than ever before.

Kuriyama Sakura puffed out her cheeks slightly, gritted her little fangs, and glared at the arrogant back of the blonde girl: "You're too young. You don't know that every gift that fate bestows has already had a price tag attached in secret!"

Recalling Zweig's "Marie Antoinette," the empress walked alone across the shallow snow on the sidewalk. Passing the Odakyu Line railway crossing, she saw a couple passionately kissing through the misty tram window.

……

When they returned to the Tazaki residence, it was completely dark.

The trees in the courtyard were adorned with colorful lights, creating a dreamlike and enchanting atmosphere, as if one had stepped into a fairytale world. In the open space near the entrance, a large, imposing black G-Wagon was parked, its bright lights shining through.

Upon entering the house, I saw Shiori Ninomiya and Shikami Hoshino playing games with controllers, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Kuriyama Sakura took off her coat and placed it on the coat rack in front of the shoe cabinet. Underneath the coat, her slender body was wearing two layers of clothing: a gray long-sleeved sweater over a dark blue short-sleeved T-shirt, revealing a slight bulge in her chest.

Tazaki noticed that a Christmas tree had been erected in the middle of the living room, decorated with bright yellow lights, but other decorations such as stockings and Santa hats had not yet been added.

"What are you two doing?" Kuriyama Sakura ran her fingers through her straight black hair as she walked toward the two girls playing games.

Shikami Hoshino stared intently at the screen: "Splatoon!"

"Kiki, come play with me!" Shiori Ninomiya turned around excitedly and looked at Tsukasa Tazaki: "Shikami is so stupid, I don't feel any sense of accomplishment after beating her."

The room was very warm, and the little cutie was only wearing a white shirt with pretty pleats at the chest, and her long legs were covered by a black skirt and black stockings.

Her outfit, paired with her radiant smile, made her look incredibly youthful and beautiful.

"Ahhh, Tazaki is part of my family!" Hoshino Shikami stood in front of Ninomiya Shiori with her hands on her hips, her expression very serious: "Even if we're going to help, Tazaki can only help Shikami!"

"Yes, yes, yes, we'll only help Shikami!" Tsukasa Tazaki walked up and affectionately ruffled her hair.

His beautiful and charmingly naive sister-in-law was the apple of his eye.

"Great!"

Hoshino Shikami excitedly raised her hands, but lost her grip on the controller and dropped it to the ground, where it was picked up by Kikawa Yui. With the four girls gathered together, the once spacious hall seemed much more crowded.

"You're very popular," the blonde girl joked.

“That’s not true.” Tsukasa Tazaki shook his head.

Kuriyama Sakura took another handle from Ninomiya Shiori: "He just likes to tease people."

“No way!” Ninomiya Shiori protested. “Kiki is so gentle with Shiori-chan!”

"So, he thinks we're easy to bully?" Yui Kichikawa looked at Sakura Kuriyama.

Kuriyama Sakura nodded.

"Do you two think you're easy to bully?" Tsukasa Tazaki retorted.

“Sakura Ryo is the scariest person,” Hoshino Shikami said, shrinking her neck as she remembered something. “Back in Kamakura, she forced three big spoonfuls of water down Shikami’s throat, almost bursting her little belly.”

"You're really silly..." Kuriyama Sakura sighed, looking at her youngest daughter with helplessness and a headache: "Stay by my side tonight, and you can't participate in any activities or games without my permission!"

"Eh? No..." Hoshino Shikami looked at Tazaki Tsukasa with a pitiful expression, "Tazaki, you should talk to her..."

"I'm sorry!" Tazaki Tsukasa turned his face away, unable to bear seeing her helpless look. "If I dared to be so reckless as to stand on your side, I would face the same fate as the president. Besides, you didn't bring the Navy with you. If she really tames me, I won't even have a dog to save me."

"Hahaha..." Shiori Ninomiya laughed, jumping from behind onto Sakura Kuriyama's back: "Is the gentle Sakura actually a strict older sister when facing Shikami?"

Caught off guard, Kuriyama Sakura fell directly onto the sofa.

With someone still pressing down on her back, she couldn't get up and could only bury her face in the sofa and mutter, "If Tsukasa Tazaki hadn't acted quickly, you would be under my control like this too."

Yui Kichikawa sat down on one side of the sofa, reached out and lifted Kuriyama Sakura's chin, raising her face: "Hmm, this position is very good."

"Shiori, let me out!" Kuriyama Sakura puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction and shouted at Kichikawa Yui, "I've had enough of your tantrums today. Tonight, only one of us will be able to leave this place safely!"

"What's wrong with Sakura?" Shiori Ninomiya turned her head to look at Tsukasa Tazaki, her face showing a shocked expression.

Tsukasa Tazaki honestly replied, "I'm jealous!"

"No!" Kuriyama Sakura immediately denied.

Hoshino Shikami stared blankly at the two of them, then subconsciously put her thumb in her mouth and gnawed on it: "It feels like Sakura's eyes are about to kill me."

"No hand-sucking!" Tsukasa Tazaki scolded, taking his sister-in-law's hand away. He then looked at the three people on the sofa and said, "Shiori, come down. Let the two of them decide the winner with a game. Whoever loses has to be the other's little sister for one night."

"Whoa!"

Hoshino Shikami's eyes lit up instantly. She shook off Tazaki Tsukasa's hand and rushed to Shiikawa Yui, giving her a big hug: "Yui-chan, you must do your best! Shikami will always be your strongest supporter!"

The sudden enthusiasm made Yui Kichikawa a little uncomfortable. She hesitated for a moment before awkwardly patting Hoshino Shikami's shoulder: "I will try my best."

After saying that, she quickly turned to look at Tsukasa Tazaki, her wide, clear blue eyes seeming to say, "Get this guy off my body right now."

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Tazaki Tsukasa pretended not to see it, sniffed hard, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

He didn't care who won or lost, who was the younger sister or who was the older sister, as long as they were all his.

In the kitchen, two teachers were preparing dinner. Accompanied by the soft sound of the gas stove burning, they hummed a song as they busily moved between the sink and the stove, seemingly in a very pleasant mood.

Kana Shimamoto wore a long white sweater, a light gray wool skirt, and patterned black stockings—a truly elegant urban late autumn outfit. Hanami Hoshino, on the other hand, wore an oversized baseball jacket, a yacht jacket, and high-waisted jeans, showcasing her beautifully curved hips—looking like a trendy Harajuku street style girl.

These two completely different styles of dressing share the common thread of being pleasing to the eye. Most importantly, both are wearing the same pair of pink cotton slippers, exuding a youthful and girly charm.

Watching the two busy figures from behind, Tsukasa Tazaki felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"It smells so good." He sniffed it and walked over to Hoshino Hanami.

From behind, Hanami's waist is stunningly beautiful. Her long-term exercise keeps her waist taut and strong, yet without an ounce of excess fat, making her look incredibly slender.

That's why, compared to the typical girl's delicate appearance in jeans, she gives off a neutral vibe, but fortunately, her hips are perky and shapely, exuding the characteristics of a mature woman.

"You seem so virtuous today, older sister," Tsukasa Tazaki said with a grin, leaning closer and hugging her waist from behind. "What are you doing? Can I have a taste first?"

Hoshino Hanami narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled kindly: "Okay!"

The next second, she bent her elbow and slammed it hard into Tsukasa Tazaki's ribs without holding back at all.

"Ouch, it hurts..."

Tazaki Tsukasa gasped, clutching his left rib and taking a few steps back.

The passive perception gave a warning, but because the distance was too close and Hoshino Hanami had a boost of 10 stamina points, he couldn't dodge it at all. Luckily, his stamina had increased to 13 points today, otherwise, being hit might have broken his life.

"Get out of here, don't even think about touching me today!" Hoshino Hanami warned impatiently.

"...What's wrong?" Tsukasa Tazaki asked, clutching his ribs with a wronged expression.

Seeing his aggrieved look, Hoshino Hanami pouted, blew her bangs back, and turned to continue cooking the spaghetti. Light shone down from the kitchen ceiling, adding a hazy glow to the silhouette of her back.

It looked beautiful, but Tsukasa Tazaki dared not go up there again.

He approached Shimamoto Kana and asked in a low voice, "What happened to her?"

"I don't know." Shimamoto Kana pushed up her glasses, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

Compared to the trendy Hoshino Hanami, Mrs. Tazaki has a similarly beautiful figure, but is a little more fleshy than Hanami. Therefore, she exudes a more mature woman's charm. Compared to the two women, Hoshino Hanami seems like a younger sister with more youthful energy.

"You wouldn't be plotting something, would you?" Tazaki Tsukasa's ominous premonition grew stronger.

"Do you distrust your wife that much?" Shimamoto Kana replied, while using both hands to slam the meatball in the basin back and forth to remove the air.

For some reason, she pronounced the word "wife" with extra emphasis, as if she was deliberately stressing it out.

“Of course I believe you…” Tsukasa Tazaki muttered in reply.

Kana Shimamoto stopped kneading the fleshy mass: "Help me roll up my sleeves."

After Tsukasa Tazaki helped her roll up her sweater sleeves, revealing her two fair and slender arms, she turned around and wrapped her arms around Tsukasa Tazaki's neck. She then tiptoed and brought her soft, affectionate lips close to his.

When he came to his senses, Tsukasa Tazaki found himself with a tongue in his mouth.

This……

Do you want the big cutie to go on a killing spree?

Out of the corner of his eye, Tsukasa Tazaki glanced at Hanami Hoshino, only to see her glaring at Kana Shimamoto, with veins bulging on her forehead.

How terrifying.

Under Hoshino Hanami's watchful gaze, Shimamoto Kana tightly embraced Tazaki Tsukasa.

The mature body was soft and warm. Because they were pressed so close and tightly, the outlines of each other's bodies could be clearly felt. With each deep breath, their noses were filled with each other's scent.

After a long time, their lips and teeth separated.

"Mmm—" Shimamoto Kana let out a satisfied groan, wrapping her arms around Tazaki Tsukasa's neck: "It feels so good. Please, Tazaki-kun, go a little harder, don't hold back."

Hoshino Hana stared at him expressionlessly for a while, then picked up a cleaver from the cutting board and began chopping wildly at the empty board.

"..."
