My love index is at its maximum.

"He doesn't seem very composed at first glance."

"Then I'll go?"

"Since you're already here, fill out a form."

As she spoke, she pulled out a form and placed it on the table.

"Just fill it out according to the requirements above."

"Thank you."

There is only one line of text at the top.

【I like you.】

Tsukasa Tazaki wrote another line.

I like you too.

The world is collapsing again.

Tsukasa Tazaki woke up with a start and sat up abruptly.

His mouth was parched with thirst, as if all the moisture in his body had evaporated. He gasped for breath and turned to look at his surroundings.

Kuriyama Sakura frowned, as if she were having a nightmare.

"It's okay..." Tsukasa Tazaki lay back down and hugged her tightly.

The girl's body was warm and soft, with a calm sense of reality. In the dim moonlight, her smooth and fair skin was completely exposed, without any defenses. Her legs were slightly apart, maintaining the position she had been in before falling asleep.

Suddenly, a noise was heard in the quiet room.

Tsukasa Tazaki looked up.

Although it was late at night, moonlight streamed in through the window, making the room bright. The curtains that had been drawn before bed suddenly opened, revealing a floating silhouette in the moonlight. The figure was clearly outlined and bathed in a skeletal, fluorescent white light.

She is a witch from Cat City.

Tsukasa Tazaki huddled under the covers, tightly embracing Sakura Kuriyama.

The witch floated by the window, gazing at the bedsheets, her expression one of being immersed in distant, warm memories, a gentle smile occasionally playing on her lips.

Tsukasa Tazaki held his breath and made no sound.

While pretending to be asleep, he made up his mind: regardless of whether this was a hallucination or not, he would not let her disturb Kuriyama Sakura again.

After a long, long time, she suddenly turned around and silently floated out of the window.

At this moment, Kuriyama Sakura's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and her expression became comfortable and natural.

Tsukasa Tazaki kissed her eyelids.

Then, an overwhelming drowsiness washed over him, and he could no longer resist it, closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

Morning has arrived.

Tsukasa Tazaki suddenly opened his eyes; the clock beside his pillow pointed to seven. Outside, the sky was bright and clear, and light streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, tracing the shapes of window frames on the floor. Winter seemed to be drawing to a close.

Compared to the world I was in when I fell asleep last night, what I see before me seems to be unchanged.

The sharp, clear cawing of crows at dawn carried into the room, making one feel that the violent thunderstorm and bizarre encounter of the previous night were nothing more than a dream.

"I still feel lingering fear after waking up..." Tsukasa Tazaki muttered to himself, turning over in bed.

Kuriyama Sakura slept beside her, like a hibernating animal, peaceful and serene.

Fine black hair fell across her snow-white cheeks, outlining intricate patterns. Her ears were hidden beneath her hair, out of sight. Tazaki Tsukasa lifted her hair and gently kissed her ear.

Kuriyama Sakura slowly opened her eyes.

The shadow and unease that had been hanging over her eyes for some time vanished without a trace with last night's thunderstorm. But some things remained, for example... the girl felt the coolness on her skin and the strange surging sensation in her body, and her face flushed crimson in the blink of an eye, as if a whole bottle of paint had been spilled on a canvas in an instant, shy and charming.

What should I say...?

After thinking for a few seconds, Tsukasa Tazaki chose the simplest greeting.

"Minister, it's dawn," he said in a low voice.

Chapter 375 The Final Chapter

"Dong dong~"

After knocking a few times, Hoshino Hanami pushed the door open and came in, immediately enveloped by the warm air inside.

An incredible warmth filled the air, mingled with a scent that stirred the imagination. She took a deep sniff and looked down at the beanbag chair below the window.

Bathed in the warm morning sunlight, Kuriyama Sakura lifted her gaze from the hardcover book in her hands, gently brushed her long hair aside with her fingertips, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

Hello~

Good morning, sister.

"Did anything fun happen last night?" Hoshino Hanami asked, looking at Tazaki Tsukasa, who was still lying in bed.

“You might not believe it, but I turned into a tiger last night,” Tsukasa Tazaki said, emerging from under the covers.

"tiger?"

"Yes, a big white cat."

Hoshino Hanami then looked at Kuriyama Sakura: "Hmm, that's very much in line with your approach."

As she spoke, she walked to the beanbag chair, squatted down, and gently hugged the girl. Neither of them spoke, and the dim light streaming in from the window remained still for a long time, their shadows also staying in the same place.

Tsukasa Tazaki got up and placed his hands on the shoulders of the two men.

He felt empowered and capable of doing anything for them.

The cozy atmosphere didn't last long; a cute little thing suddenly popped out from the doorway.

Good morning, Sakura!

When she first entered, she had a super bright smile on her face, but as soon as Kuriyama Sakura looked up, her expression instantly changed, and she casually lay down on the floor and started shouting.

"Ahhh-"

"Shiori-chan is angry—"

"Sakura is a traitor! She betrayed our Holy Maiden Alliance!"

Kuriyama Sakura was dumbfounded.

The little girl was throwing a tantrum, rolling around on the ground, swinging her legs and muttering complaints. She deliberately puffed out her cheeks, waving her little hands wildly, every move she made was full of a little devil's scheming...

At that moment, Hoshino Hanami seemed to remember something, covered her mouth with her hand, and leaned close to Kuriyama Sakura's ear as if to tell a secret: "Tell me quickly, how did it feel last night?"

"..."

Kuriyama Sakura's face flushed instantly, and she glared at Tazaki Tsukasa with an embarrassed look that made her want to cry.

'Get them away from me right now!'

'Sorry, I'd better not get involved in women's affairs...'

Tsukasa Tazaki decisively turned and ran away.

Completely ignoring the despair in the eyes of the club president, who was being held down by Hoshino Hanami and Ninomiya Shiori behind him.

of course……

He's not a heartless person.

To prevent the others from joining in the persecution of the minister, he knocked on each of their doors to inform them to come downstairs for breakfast before going to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth, and then combing his messy hair in front of the mirror.

After washing up, I went downstairs.

Kana Shimamoto and Sachiko Tono were already in the kitchen preparing to make chocolates, while Yui Kikawa sat alone at the dining table, her dazzling blonde hair shining even brighter than usual in the morning light.

On the dining table, the coffee machine hummed, indicating that the coffee was ready.

"Good morning, big brother!" Tsukasa Tazaki ran over with a smile to greet him.

Without even glancing at him, Qichuan Wei took the coffee machine and poured it into a cup. After filling the cup with black espresso, she added some milk and stirred it. Soon, a layer of white milk foam floated up.

"It smells so good!"

With skin thickened to a certain degree, Tsukasa Tazaki leaned close to his older brother and sniffed him.

"I haven't forgiven you yet!" Yui Kichikawa muttered.

It was a sentence spoken to the dining table, the voice could only be described as talking to oneself, the gaze still fixed on the coffee cup.

White foam slowly spread across the top of the cup.

Under her watchful eye, one or two of them broke, making a "snap" sound.

"Alright, alright, I know I was wrong." Tsukasa Tazaki squatted down, placing his hands on her knees. "As an apology, how about I be your errand boy for a month when we get back to Tokyo?"

Kikawa stared intently at the coffee cup. After a while, she brushed aside the blonde hair that had fallen onto her shoulder and snorted listlessly.

"Are you done talking? Then I'm leaving."

After declaring the conversation over, Yui Kikawa stood up and walked towards the door.

Looking at her beautiful back, Tsukasa Tazaki muttered, "I really want to turn my older brother into a fallen saint."

The sentence wasn't intentionally recorded, so Qichuan Wei naturally heard it. She suddenly stopped and turned around halfway.

"How disgusting!"

The blonde girl twisted her face in disgust and said aggressively.

"Let's stay and celebrate Valentine's Day together," Tsukasa Tazaki invited.

"You're dreaming!" Qi Chuanwei turned around and walked towards the door with even faster steps than before.

Her cheeks, flushed with shyness, were visible through her swaying golden hair. Seeing her like this, Tsukasa Tazaki couldn't help but smile and chase after her, pulling her into a tight embrace just before she left.

“Hey bro,” he joked, “even if you’re going back to Tokyo, you don’t have to go out in your pajamas, do you?”

"Tasaki!" Yui Kikawa bit her lower lip, glaring at him defiantly. "You just wait and see, this young lady... um~"

The words he was about to say were silenced by Tsukasa Tazaki's lips.

It wasn't just a normal kiss; he grabbed her hands, pressed her against the door, and slammed her against it.
