Anime Heart

Arima Kousei explained, "There is no other relationship between her and me. It is just a pure relationship between senior and junior brothers and sisters."

"Really?" Tsubaki Sawabe asked, slightly doubtful.

“It’s really true!” Arima Kousei answered firmly.

"Alright! Then I'll believe you this time!" Actually, Tsubaki's anger had long since dissipated, and Kousei's actions had touched her deeply.

Now that Gong Sheng has offered her a way out, she certainly won't pretend to be reserved.

"Great! We're almost at our stop, let's get ready to get off!"

When the car came to a complete stop, the two of them got out one after the other. When getting out, Kousei got out first, then reached out and took Tsubaki's hand to help her out of the car.

Xiaochun was secretly delighted. If asked what else Kousei fascinated her about besides the piano, she wondered...

Sawabe Tsubaki would definitely answer, "Of course it's the feeling of being caring and attentive!" Kousei is right; he always thought of Tsubaki as a girl next door who needed to be taken care of.

Now that the two are in a relationship, this kind of care naturally earns her a lot of points in Sawabe Tsubaki's heart.

"Hey, you two, stop showing off your love! Come over here and help me with my things!" Xian Dong's voice suddenly reached his ears as the two stood on the platform gazing at each other affectionately.

Turning his head, he saw that Arima Kento was holding Kurotan and looking at the two of them with a rather helpless expression.

"Xian Dong, what are you doing here?" Xiao Chun asked curiously. The two of them walked hand in hand to Arima Xian Dong and looked at the boy holding the black charcoal.

Arima Kento put the black charcoal down, then pointed behind him and said, "Of course, we'll give it a check-up, vaccinate it, and make a nameplate!"

The largest pet hospital in Nerima Ward is right here at the station, which is why Kousei and Tsubaki were able to run into Arima Kenji after getting off the train.

Actually, it wasn't a coincidence; Ma Xiandong saw the two people in the car window and then came out to call them over for help.

Today, he not only gave Blackie a check-up and made a nameplate, but also bought him a cat tree and some toys.

He had just asked the shop assistant a lot of questions about taboos related to cats. Yu Ma Xian Dong had never owned a cat before, so he didn't know much about many things.

Sawabe Tsubaki watched as the black-faced creature circled Arima Kenjiro and couldn't resist crouching down to pet it. However, she was met with a merciless rejection.

Xiaochun didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she asked, "What things are there? Where are they?"

"It's inside the store! I can't carry it back by myself, so you two have to help me!" As he spoke, Yu Ma Xian Dong took the lead and went into the store.

Kurotan followed Arima Kenji into the room, with Sawabe Tsubaki and Arima Kousei following behind.

However, upon seeing the luxurious cat tree that was over two meters tall, Kousei couldn't help but twitch his lips and exclaimed, "Xian Dong!! You've been wasting money again!!"

"Relax, relax! I asked my dad, and he agreed," Arima Xiandong said, waving his hand.

Hearing this, Kousei Arima stopped worrying. Since his father had already agreed, his opinion was no longer relevant.

However, Kousei still looked at the cat tree, which was taller than him, with some difficulty and said:

"You're telling me we have to take this back? You try it, it's such a big thing..."

"There's nothing we can do! This guy only likes this; he won't climb anything else!" Arima Kento said, shrugging.

“Your cat is just as picky as you. Birds of a feather flock together!” Kosei couldn’t help but say.

"Hey, hey, hey, Kuroko will be a member of the family from now on. Isn't it a bit irresponsible of you to say that?" Arima Kento said with dissatisfaction.

"Alright, stop arguing. Let's figure out how to get this back!" Xiao Chun rarely stepped in to act as a peacemaker.

"Huh? No way! And Xian Dong, stop messing around. This guy is in charge of delivery, right? You're trying to tease me!" Gong Sheng suddenly realized and said to his younger brother with disdain.

"Alright! I couldn't hide it from you. Kousei, you're not too stupid! At least you're much better than Tsubaki."

"Hey, Xiandong, why are you dragging me into this when you're talking about Gongsheng! And don't you dare say Gongsheng is stupid, or I'll never forgive you!" Xiaochun protested.

"Tsk tsk, she's already like this before she even married into the family, what will she be like in the future?!" Yu Ma Xian Dong teased.

Looking at the two faces blushing because of those words, Arima Xiandong thought this was a pretty good 'attack' tactic.

Yes, we can use it from time to time as a regular deterrent.

P.S.: By the way, subscriptions to this book are declining, is nobody reading it anymore?

Chapter 135 A Simple-minded Girl

The matter of Kurotan has been almost resolved, and now Kurotan is truly considered a member of Arima Kento's family.

Arima Kousei has always liked cats, but because Kurozumi is still quite wary of other people, he can't get close to Kurozumi properly.

Arima Kousei was somewhat reluctant about Kurotan becoming a family member, but his actions spoke volumes.

He helped Arima Kento set up the cat tree, then prepared a series of cat supplies, and successfully fed Kurotan for the first time.

This delighted the piano prodigy, who brought his girlfriend over, only to be rejected by the cat once again.

However, this refusal was not because they didn't want them to get close, but because Black Charcoal was already full.

All creatures that are full will absolutely refuse food; eating too much will make them feel bloated and uncomfortable. Of course, gluttons are an exception.

Speaking of competitive eaters, Arima Sen-tung has never seen a real competitive eater in this lifetime.

In my past life, I had seen videos of amazing mukbang (eating contestants) posting on video websites like Bilibili and Youku.

He always watched it late at night, just to torture himself with hunger in order to lose weight.

But after trying it a few times, Ma Xiandong discovered that it was a complete scam.

Because he always gets hungry and eats, then his weight increases...

Far away.

In short, Kurozumi had come to acknowledge Sawabe Tsubaki to some extent. She was a familiar face, and she had even helped move his dragon throne today, so he would give her a chance!

With proud, elegant cat-like steps, Kurotan approached Sawabe Tsubaki, giving her a quick glance that left her to interpret.

Sawabe Tsubaki was overjoyed. She stroked the fur on Kurotan's back, feeling the warm and soft touch, and slowly moved her palm.

Black Charcoal remained reserved; despite feeling quite comfortable, it didn't reveal any corresponding emotions.

Just as Sawabe Tsubaki tried to pat its head, Kurozumi dashed away. Now, only two people are allowed to pat its head.

That's the blonde angel and her current owner. Nobody else should even dream of it, or I'll give them a good thrashing with my cat claws!

Arima Shiki didn't react much to the fact that his son had a pet cat.

In his view, this is normal. Having a pet cat can also help two children develop the ability to take care of others, and they will be able to handle certain things better in the future.

Arima Ayako, on the other hand, was very curious about Kurotan's existence. She had never kept pets because she easily killed small animals.

After she cried bitterly once, her mother forbade her to keep pets.

So after finishing her school club activities today, Ayako went to Arima Kento's house as usual. After greeting her brother, she went straight to Kurotan's cat house.

However, she was disappointed to find that Heitan was not home.

It's a little past seven now. Black Charcoal went out around six o'clock to meet his girlfriend, the white cat Betty, so it takes him almost an hour to walk there.

Originally, Arima Kento was also planning to follow, but since Ako might come, and Kurotan is very familiar with this area, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

For these reasons, Arima Kento gave up the idea of ​​going with Kurotan.

However, Arima Kento was still a little worried about Kurotan, so he called Kanno Megumi and asked her to look after Kurotan.

Because they chatted often, Ma Xiandong knew that she would take the cat out for a walk every night and also digest her food after dinner, so he asked her to help look after the cat. He thought it should be fine!

In fact, there was no problem at all, and Megumi Kamino agreed without hesitation, but she did make one small condition of her own.

That means that from now on, Ma Xiandong must accompany Heitan to the store one day every Saturday and Sunday, and he must chat with Jinye Hui.

Upon hearing this condition, Megumi Kanno felt dizzy, her face flushed red, and she hurriedly explained, "Ah, I just wanted to learn more about the lives of upperclassmen, that's all."

"And I can also make small cakes for you to try. So you definitely have to come!"

Arima Kento assumed that the other party wanted to maintain their friendship and didn't think much of it, replying, "No problem! I'd also like to try what the cake you made tastes like, Ahui."

"Brother Xiandong! I'll definitely make a really, really delicious cake!" Then, as if remembering something, Jinno Megumi added, "Well, I'll take good care of Kurotan too, don't worry!"

"Then it's up to you!"

It was estimated that Kurotan would be home before 8:30. After telling Ako this information, Ako decided that she had to see Kurotan before going home.

Hmm! I can just not go back! It's not like I haven't stayed here before; this is my brother's house! Yako thought to herself.

Having made up her mind, Ako rolled up her sleeves, put on an apron, and went into the kitchen.

She didn't feel tired at all when cooking for her family, a feeling she had never experienced before. She was very happy and full of energy.

Meanwhile, Ako's club activities were going quite well. Because Ako was very dedicated, and with the teacher's help, everything became very organized in just a few days.

Every club needs an advisor, and Ako's club advisor is Risa Taneda's informant, or rather, the person she arranged to keep an eye on Ako.

In order to please her superior, the teacher naturally did her best to help Ako manage the club.

Meanwhile, Risa Taneda figured out the real reason Ako wanted to start a club: to play games for a specific time and be with someone in the game.

Risa Taneda would never accept an online relationship, fearing it would worsen Ako's symptoms.

However, she couldn't directly restrict Ako, as that would provoke Ako's rebellious streak. So, she had no choice but to keep Ako occupied with club activities, leaving her with little time to play games with that person.

Although doing this will make Ayako a little tired, it will also help her develop her abilities and give her some special skills.

The instructor is a very capable person; she knows what to do as soon as she follows Risa Taneda's instructions.

She handles the important and difficult things herself, while leaving the other trivial and complicated matters to Ako, thus satisfying Risa Taneda's needs.

Moreover, this made her life much easier, so why not?

However, Ayako didn't realize it; she was actually happy that her teacher had helped her!

It is estimated that this kind of club work will last for at least three or four weeks, or even a month. It is very likely that Ayako will not be able to play games with Lucian for at least a month.

But Ayako didn't know that she thought she would be able to relax in a few days and then easily achieve her goal.

Chapter 136 The Morning Plane

Early Saturday morning, around 6:30 a.m., Arima Kento got up on his own.

After brushing his teeth, washing his face, making breakfast, opening a can of fish for Kurotan, and opening the doors and windows for ventilation, Arima Kento knocked on Kousei's door.

He didn't sleep in like he usually does on Saturdays because his flight was at 8 a.m. This meant he needed to be at the airport by 7:30 a.m. for check-in and other things.

Although booking his flight for this time meant he had to get up early, he didn't have the slightest complaint. On the contrary, he was extremely excited.
