Anime Heart

Why would Tsubaki think about whether Ako would be bullied in the future? Because she understands Ako's personality.

Although she looks cute and gentle, she is actually very determined and won't easily change her mind about things. She loves Lucien and wants to be his bride, and no one can stop her.

Stubborn but not annoying.

The only thing that worries Xiaochun now is how Yazi and Xiaoxun will get along in the future. Yazi knows that Lucien is Xiandong, so she will definitely stick with Xiandong and never let go.

And Xiao Xun wouldn't give up on Xian Dong so easily! Speaking of which, Xiao Xun is the one who can't let go of Xian Dong the most. She was rescued by Arima Xian Dong in despair, so she puts her whole heart and soul into Arima Xian Dong.

She's probably more determined than Ya Zi on this point.

Ako loves Lucian, while Kaori Miyazono loves Arima Kenjiro himself. Even if Ako were to transfer all her feelings to the real Arima Kenjiro, it would still not compare to Kaori Miyazono's emotions.

This is beyond doubt.

Now that this situation has arisen, the way people in this world think has become significantly different from that of Arima Kento.

When Arima Kento realized the feelings that Ako, Kanno Megumi, and others had for him, his first thought was to transform their feelings into something else.

Megumi Kanno's approach was fairly successful, as she had already started calling him "brother" in a clear voice. However, Ayako's case was still a bit more difficult, though Arima Kento still wanted to persuade her to give up.

Tsubaki Sawabe realized that neither of them could give up on Arima Kento, so she thought of a future where the two could coexist peacefully.

In her opinion, it wouldn't be impossible for both Kaori Miyazono and Ako to become Arima Kenji's wives.

After all, it's all permitted by law.

Ayako and Hitoshi aren't biological siblings, so there's absolutely no problem with Ayako's side. And there's even less of a problem with Kaori Miyazono's side.

If Kaoru and Ayako could get along well, wouldn't everything be perfect?

Xiaochun was only thinking about it in her heart. To be honest, if Kousei fell in love with another girl, would she get along well with her?

Even if we eventually manage to live in peace, the process will definitely be painful for us.

It's an outsider's perspective that allows them to speak so detachedly. Because it's not their business, they can make rational analyses and decisions.

Thinking about these things, Xiaochun's original idea of ​​punishing Arima Kento faded away.

Xian Dong must be feeling very confused right now! It's best not to cause him any more trouble.

"Okay, let's eat our bento boxes! I'm getting a little hungry!" Kotsubaki pretended not to hear Ako's words and casually composed herself.

She left Ako's side, went to Kousei, picked up his lunchbox, and sat directly on his lap, saying, "Kousei~ I want you to feed me!"

Upon hearing this act of forcibly feeding the dog food, Ma Xiandong immediately turned his head away.

At the same time, he turned Ako's head away so that she wouldn't see the scene.

Tsubaki is quite sensible! It's just that Ayako still speaks without thinking! She needs to be taught a lesson!

He picked up the lunchbox, handed it to Ayako, and then Yuma Kento casually tapped Ayako on the head, saying, "Don't tell everyone everything in the future, or you'll get into trouble!"

"Oh." Yako didn't actually think she had done anything wrong, but since Lucien had said so, she figured it was best to listen to him.

Ako glanced enviously at Tsubaki and Kousei, who were interacting intimately, then turned her head to look at Arima Kenjiro, her dark eyes shining, and said:

"Brother, please feed me!"

Arima Kenjiro's face darkened, and he pushed Ayako aside, saying, "Don't you have arms?! You're so lazy! Go eat something yourself!"

Ayako's disappointment was palpable after being rejected. She lowered her head, silently opened her lunchbox, and her hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

Arima Kenji lowered his head slightly and saw that Ako's tears were welling up in her eyes and were about to fall.

At the same time, he also heard Ako's murmured words, "Lu... Brother dislikes me, Brother dislikes me, Brother dislikes me..."

Seeing this, Arima Kento quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Um, Ayako, would you like some chicken nuggets? I don't have any here."

Come on! Ah!

After saying that, Arima Kento took out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried chicken, and handed it to Ako.

"Waaah...waaah..." Ako sobbed, but still looked up at Arima Kento, her mouth slightly open, waiting for Arima Kento to feed her.

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the girl in front of him, Arima Kento couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his action of pushing Ayako away.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I need to deal with the problem at hand first.

"I've already used the chopsticks myself, will Aya mind?" Arima Kenji thought as he gently placed the fried chicken nugget into Aya's mouth.

"Mmm~ So delicious!! Waaah..."

It seems Ako doesn't mind...

Chapter 178 Father's Phone Call

After eating their bento boxes, the four of them went shopping together. Since they had already run into each other, deliberately separating would seem too awkward.

While Akihabara is primarily known for its electronics and anime, it also has clothing stores. Of course, most of them are anime cosplay clothing stores.

However, this person still had a great time browsing around.

Because Ayako remembered that Arima Kento wanted to check out a maid cafe, she decided to buy a maid outfit to surprise her brother.

Taking advantage of Arima Kento's inattention, Ako used the excuse of going to the restroom to run to the clothing store she had visited before and bought two different maid outfits.

One set is wearable right now, and the other is a little bigger, since Yako's figure is still developing and she hasn't stopped growing. Of course, the material is also the best, and Yako isn't short of money.

However, because it took some time to measure the size and find clothes that fit Ayako's body, Arima Kento almost noticed and came looking for Ayako.

Fortunately, Ayako asked Tsubaki to help stop him, so Arima Kento didn't notice Ayako's actions.

Ako's action gave Tsubaki the idea of ​​giving Kousei a surprise.

But then I thought about how Kousei wasn't particularly fond of anime, didn't have any favorite anime characters, and most importantly, Tsubaki's breasts couldn't fill out those clothes.

Xiao Chun sighed in exasperation, and in the end, she gave up. She couldn't very well smash up the shop!

The group continued strolling around for a while, and then went home together at 3 p.m.

It's clear that Ayako won't leave Arima Kento on her own initiative, or rather, she has the idea of ​​staying at Arima Kento's place indefinitely.

In her opinion, what kind of couple is it if they don't live in the same room or sleep in the same bed?

Even though Lucian doesn't accept his marriage right now, Yako will try her best! She'll definitely make Lucian, no, she'll make Brother Xiandong accept her!

The change in how Ayako was addressed was at Ma Xiandong's request. Although he was very upset, he was still concerned about Ayako's condition.

If there is an illness, you should find a way to treat it, and the solution that Arima Sen-dong came up with was to make Ako change.

However, the changes should not be too drastic at the beginning; they should be made gradually.

The first step in this change is to remove Ayako from the online game, so naturally, the nickname from the game cannot be carried over into reality.

Another thing is that we call each other by our game names in real life, which is so embarrassing!

Back home, Arima Kento had an appointment for the afternoon; he needed to find Kanno Megumi and then go with her to Izumi Masamune's house.

Considering that there were still many things to do, Arima Kento rested at home for a while, then greeted Ako with Kurotan and Kousei in his arms before heading straight out of the house.

As Yako watched her beloved leave home, she did not stop Arima Kento from taking her with him.

She did want to do that, but after being persuaded by Tsubaki, Ako gave up the idea.

She didn't want Arima Kento to dislike her.

Kousei wasn't surprised to see his younger brother leave. His brother wasn't a typical artsy nerd like himself, so it was only natural that he had many friends.

Once you make friends, you need to hang out with them and maintain your relationships. So he could have predicted Xian Dong's behavior.

On the contrary, Kousei Arima asked Ako with a hint of concern, "Ako, don't you need to go home? Won't your father and aunt worry?"

Yako shook her head and didn't say anything.

I don't know if she meant 'I'm not worried' or 'I don't know'.

Seeing this, Kousei understood that Ako didn't really want to talk, so he stopped bothering her and just said, "Just call me if you need anything, I'll definitely help you."

"Thank you, Kousei-nii!" This time, Ako didn't remain silent; she looked at Kousei and said thank you.

Gongsheng waved his hand and went upstairs to the second floor without looking back. He had to practice the piano every day, and since he didn't have much to do for the rest of the day, he might as well put his time and energy into the piano.

Xiaochun has also gone home. She spent the whole day out yesterday, and today is almost the same. Xiaochun hasn't finished a lot of her homework yet, so now is a good time to catch up.

After watching Kousei go upstairs, Ayako got up and left the living room, but she did not return to her own guest room.

Instead, she walked step by step to the door of Arima Kento's room. Ako bit her lip lightly, reached out and grasped the doorknob, and pushed open the door.

Meanwhile, Arima Sento had already gotten into a taxi. It was the same guy as before, a skilled, steady, and serious driver.

Now, Ma Xiandong has almost gotten used to riding in his car.

In the taxi, Ma Xiandong was not idle. He placed the black charcoal on his lap and stroked the hair on the black charcoal's back with his hand.

In his other hand, he was holding a cell phone, answering a call.

"Dad, what's up with your call?" Yu Ma Xian Dong asked.

As the head of the Arima clan in Japan, Arima Shiki doesn't have much free time, even though he doesn't have to do most of the work himself.

Therefore, when he calls Arima Kento, it's rarely just for casual conversation.

"Ahem, you brat, you don't give me any face at all." Arima Shiki's voice came over, "There are indeed some things, about you and Ayako."

Arima Sento was initially startled, but then he understood. He immediately realized why his father already knew about this.

He originally thought that his father's arrangement for people to protect their safety was not something that could be done all the time.

Because Ma Xiandong couldn't sense anyone around him at all, but now it seems he was wrong.

The person protecting you has been watching all of this all along.

This explains why her father knew about her identity so quickly after she and Ayako had just revealed their identities to each other.

But why didn't his father find out that Lucian was him before? Instead, he waited until Ayako met him to find out.

Because they are father and son, there's nothing that can't be asked.

After Arima Sento asked the question, Arima Shiki paused for a moment before giving his answer.

"Actually, we could have found out, but your Aunt Risa thought it wasn't a good idea, so we gave up on that approach. If we had known earlier that you were 'Lucian,' we could have had Ayako live with you this year and you could have gone to school together."

"Ah! No, no! You know Ayako's situation. If she lives with me, she might get even worse. We have to find a way to help Ayako get better!"

Ma Xiandong was surprised by his father's answer, but he reacted quickly and refused.
