I, the mastermind behind the scenes at Soubu High, refuse to be caught in a bloodbath.

"Aunt Yaozi..."

Himeko was speechless. They were still at the dinner table, how could she be making such lewd remarks? Although she did sleep with Yoko when they were little, that was all in the past.

"Mother..."

Kazusa immediately showed a suspicious expression →_→, while Himekoji's mother, Daphne, clapped her hands and tilted her head, saying, "Yes, the new year is a day worth celebrating. Haruto will be 18 this year, a full adult. Before he becomes an adult, why don't you sleep with Mommy tonight?"

"puff--"

The old man, who had just taken a sip of red wine, wanted to spit it all over the wall. He choked and coughed incessantly, patting his chest and rolling his eyes back.

"What's wrong, Naoto? Do you have a problem with this?"

Mom showed a very cute face, blinking as she stared at Dad.

"No no."

Dad quickly shook his head, like a rattle-drum.

"Ahem, I think I'll pass, never mind..."

Ji Xiaolu immediately chickened out. She was such a grown-up, sleeping with her mother? People would laugh at her if they found out! Besides, her mother was so cute and petite. If they slept together, Ji Xiaolu would be tempted to use her as a pillow.

"Hehehe, I was just kidding," Daphne shrugged and shook her head. "After all, Haruto has grown up, and you, Yoko, have gotten old. It's really inappropriate for you and Haruto to sleep together. I think it's rare that you could reminisce about your childhood tonight and Haruto could sleep with Kazusa instead?"

“Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?”

Himekoji and Kazusa both opened their mouths wide and exclaimed in surprise, "Eh!" Then they looked at each other and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

“Oh! That’s a good suggestion,” Yoko, always eager to stir up trouble, immediately raised her glass in agreement. “I think it’s fantastic.”

"I second that."

Ji Xiaolu's father also raised his glass.

I second that!

Himekoji's mother immediately raised her glass as well.

"Wait, wait a minute, how did things suddenly turn out like this..." Kazusa, blushing, nudged Himekoji with her elbow and said, "Why don't you tell us something too..."

"Ahem, I think it's quite necessary to reminisce about childhood." Himeko coughed loudly, causing everyone's eyes to turn to Kazusa. Kazusa was extremely embarrassed, covering her face and mumbling, "Don't all look at me, what's going on here..."

"Shouldn't it be common sense for men and women of the right age to sleep in bed together?"

My mother tilted her head, puzzled, and continued to ask questions about the shado.

"Aunt Daphne, where did you get this common sense from?! I've never known this before."

"Hmm, that's probably common knowledge within the Borgia family."

"...This isn't Italy!"

Kazusa held her forehead, her head throbbing terribly.

"That's good common sense, I think it'll work!" Yaozi added fuel to the fire. She was especially happy today because she knew her terminal illness was about to be cured. She clinked her wine glass against Daphne's and revealed a mischievous smile, saying, "Little Nini, do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

"puff----"

Himekoji, Kazusa, and Himekoji's father all felt like they wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"No need, it will just make me a slut."

"What did you say?"

"Could it be not?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Ji Xiaolu's father quickly stopped them. The dinner was a mess, with everyone having strange thoughts in their hearts. After dinner, Kazusa immediately slipped away. When she ran to her room door, she found Miss Reiko blocking her way and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Kazusa, the door lock is broken."

"That guest room..."

"I'm sorry, the door lock is also broken."

"And my mom's room..."

"I'm sorry, Ms. Youzi has already locked the door from the inside."

So Ms. Reiko revealed a mischievous grin, as if she were watching a good show.

Chapter 290 Quietly, [Himekoji Haruto] chose to hide.

If Himekoji hadn't happened to walk by at that moment, Kazusa probably would have blurted out something stupid like, "I'll sleep on the sofa!" Seeing Himekoji approach, Kazusa immediately put one hand on her hip and pointed at Reiko, saying, "Reiko-nee won't let me in, what do you think we should do?"

"What should we do?" Himeko and Reiko exchanged a glance, then Himeko spread her hands innocently and said, "Let's just do it this way."

"Ha..." Kazusa was speechless, but at this moment she seized the opportunity to rush to Himekoji's room and locked the door behind her. She leaned against the door and said triumphantly, "Alright, I'll rest like this tonight."

"Good night, sweet dreams, Miss Kazusa." Miss Reiko said her blessing at the door, then took out a master key and put it in Himekoji's ear, saying, "This is for you, Haruto."

"Oh, thank you so much."

After receiving the master key, Himeko felt very strange. Why had things turned out this way? He sat with Reiko in the lounge at the end of the corridor for a while, casually turned on the TV and watched a program for about half an hour. Only after he felt that Kazusa had basically let down her guard did he get up and tiptoe back to his room.

"Good luck to you."

Reiko pulled Himeko aside and gently kissed him on the cheek. Then she stood there motionless. Himeko listened at the door, but there was no sound inside. He wondered where Kazusa was. He took out the master key that Miss Reiko had given him, quickly inserted it into the keyhole and turned it all the way around. Then he gripped the doorknob and pushed the door open.

Then Himekoji discovered that Kazusa was not in the room, but her clothes were carelessly thrown on the bed, including her bra and panties. It seemed that she had probably gone into the bathroom, but the sound of water was quite loud in the bathroom, and he did not hear her open the door.

Miss Reiko peeked over and, finding nothing amiss, retrieved the master key from Himekoji. She then quietly closed the door and quickly directed two maids to bring over chairs to prop the doorknob shut. This prevented them from turning the handle from the inside, thus blocking the door from opening.

Himekoji, who had just entered the room, found the feeling quite peculiar. He sat on the edge of the bed, picked up Kazusa's pure white bra, and waved it in his hand, giving it a slight squeeze. He couldn't help but laugh. Kazusa's figure was amazing in every way, curvaceous and perfectly proportioned. It had been several years since he had casually squeezed her bra, when Kazusa was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Himekoji lost interest after squeezing at it for a while, and threw it aside. After the sound of water in the bathroom stopped abruptly, he made the same decision as Kazusa had made that day—to hide it in his wardrobe.

Hiding her slippers under the bed, she quietly slipped into the wardrobe. The wardrobe door was entirely made of wood, with no glass panels. Although she knew she wouldn't be able to see Kazusa emerging from her bath, Himekoji thought it was all worth it, considering what would happen next.

After the bathroom door was opened, Kazusa looked around the room but didn't find anything suspicious. She wrapped herself in a bath towel and dried her hair with a towel as she walked to the bed and sat on the edge of the bed to wait for her hair to dry.

"My nightgown is in that room too, so I can't wear it today." Kazusa shook her head in frustration, placing her hands on her smooth legs and muttering, "Seriously... Mom and Aunt Daphne, everyone suddenly turned into that, and now it's so awkward. I'm sleeping in Haruto's bed, and I'm afraid Haruto will sleep in my bed later... What if that guy keeps nuzzling, smelling, and kissing me... Ughhhhh, so embarrassing."

"What strange things are you fantasizing about all by yourself... Why would I do something so perverted?"

Himeko muttered to herself, when she heard Kazusa slump onto the bed. It looked like she was lying flat on the bed, but her hair wasn't even dry yet. Was it really okay for her to lie down like that?

In short, Himekoji hid in the closet for about an hour. Eventually, he got bored and started reading an e-book on his phone. Only when the light from the closet stopped shining into the room did it mean Kazusa had turned off the light. Since she didn't have a nightgown, and Kazusa wasn't used to sleeping naked, she put on her underwear, quietly snuggled into the covers, and yawned as she drifted off to sleep. —Although it wasn't that late yet, Kazusa was exhausted today, having cried three times in a row, and was mentally drained.

In her hazy state, Kazusa felt as if something warm had crept into her side. She instinctively leaned closer to it, but then felt too hot and returned to where she had been lying. Himekoji got into bed, only taking off her outer garment, just in case Kazusa woke up and started screaming.

Any girl with a modicum of awareness would notice if there was someone else in her bed; it's just a matter of how quickly she notices it. When Kazusa suddenly woke up and found Himekoji lying next to her, she immediately felt a headache coming on.

However, Himekoji remained motionless, lying there calmly. Kazusa pulled the blanket up, sat up, and leaned against the headboard, looking down at him. Himekoji noticed that Kazusa had woken up and opened his eyes to look at her. The two remained silent for a good five or six minutes.

"I am here."

"I already know."

Would you like to hear me recite a poem for you?

“No need,” Kazusa shook her head, leaned down and pressed her hands on Himekoji’s shoulders, letting her hair fall down his neck and chest, and said, “Why did you get into bed without taking off your clothes?”

"If you could do it for me."

"How lazy..."

In the darkness, Kazusa reached out and touched Himekoji's face. The room was pitch black, and even though she knew Himekoji was beneath her, Kazusa didn't feel much of a sensation and wasn't too embarrassed.

"Pitter-patter-patter-patter-"

One button after another was undone by Kazusa, revealing Himekoji's very muscular chest. She reached down, unbuckled his belt, and threw it off the bed.

"You can do the rest yourself, you lazybones, oops—"

Kazusa made a face at Himekoji, but he couldn't see her cute expression at that moment.

Himeko sat up again, but instead of taking off all her clothes and throwing them on the carpet, Kazusa turned to the side, her back to him, and said, "So, you went to all this trouble to come and sleep with me?"

Chapter 291 Unexpectedly, [that person] broke the peace.

"Is it wrong to sleep with my beloved Kazusa-nee?"

“I’m telling you…” Kazusa lay back down on her face, and Himekoji pressed her shoulders against her ear, saying, “So, Kazusa, do you hate this?”

"Hmph... I wouldn't say I like it anyway."

"Is that so?" Himekoji released her shoulders, lifted the blanket and continued to lie down, letting the blanket form a wall between herself and Kazusa.

"Hey...you bastard."

"what happened?"

"If you want to do something, then do it responsibly..."

Kazusa leaned closer, rested her little head on Himekoji's shoulder, and muttered to herself.

In the silent darkness, two furtive figures shuffled along the corridor wall until they reached the door of Himekoji's room, which was guarded by Reiko. They exchanged strange gestures, as if they were making a secret rendezvous with Satanists.

Ouch, you stepped on my hair!

"Who told you to have such long hair that drags on the ground!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

The people lurking suspiciously at the door were none other than Himekoji's mother and Kazusa's mother, along with Reiko, who was in charge of guarding the door. The three of them were all vying to press their ears against the door, trying to hear the strange noises inside.

Miss Reiko just sent them a message—there's movement inside!

If Ji Xiaolu knew that the two ladies and Miss Lingzi were all eavesdropping outside the window, he would probably die of shock. Miss Lingzi, on the other hand, had already been overheard once, and now that it was her turn to eavesdrop, she was naturally happy to do so.

However, the two people inside the room were completely unaware of what was happening outside. After all, the three people outside were communicating in very low voices, and they were just pressed against the door without making a sound. Therefore, Himekoji and Kazusa were still engrossed in their quiet conversation.

"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that it's a bit strange to let them do whatever they want, so I guess I'll just let it go."

"..." Hearing Himekoji's words, Kazusa really wanted to slap him, but after all, she was the one who had been hiding at the beginning, and Kazusa herself had no right to do such a thing. She simply turned over, put her hands on Himekoji's shoulders, and pressed her body against him, saying, "Don't let me underestimate you at this critical moment."

"...Thinking about it, I've always been the one chasing after you, Kazusa-nee, but now it's the other way around. I find it funny."

"Hey..."

"Of course I love Kazusa very much. I love you so much. The way you sleep, the way you cry, the way you smile, the way you play the piano, every single one of them is imprinted in my heart. But I regret that I didn't learn to draw from my lovely mother, so that I could have drawn every beautiful moment of you."

Looking up at Kazusa's face, Himekoji noticed that Kazusa was trembling. Perhaps she was too nervous, or perhaps she was angry. Who knows? Her thoughts are always so hard to guess.

"Anyway, if it were you, you'd probably make me do some embarrassing things to draw, I can't stand it."
