It was only then that Nango saw the face of the woman standing behind the door.

Unlike Matsuzaka Satou, she had long, dark purple hair cascading down her shoulders.

She was wearing a pink dress.

She has a delicate, petite face that is three or four parts the same as Matsuzaka Satou's.

Judging solely from her attire, she could at most be considered an older woman who, despite being of a certain age, dresses in a rather cute way.

but…

Nanxiang frowned.

It wasn't because of the other person's attire.

It was because of the various bandages binding the other person's body.

On her fair face.

On her fair forehead.

On slender calves.

There were five or six bandages of various sizes all over his body.

Even from Nanxiang's perspective, there were still obvious bruises on her wrists.

Nanxiang frowned.

With his level 2 medical skills, he could easily tell the difference.

Those bruises were definitely not caused by a fall or trip.

It was done intentionally by someone.

what's the situation?

Nanxiang's eyes sparkled.

abuse?

By whom?

Matsuzaka sugar?

No, obviously not.

Although Matsuzaka Satou sometimes does things that are unusual, Nango Toki doesn't believe that she would do such a thing to her aunt.

Most importantly, Matsuzaka Sugar had no reason to do so.

Ok…

And judging from the dirty-looking dress that Matsuzaka Sayuri was wearing…

Nanxiang took a deep breath.

He vaguely sensed something.

It's probably not just Matsuzaka Sugar that's acting strangely.

The Matsuzaka Sayuri standing in front of him now might not be quite normal either.

Even with his exceptional senses, Nango could clearly smell the strange odor emanating from the room behind Matsuzaka Sayuri.

unusual.

The person in front of me is very abnormal.

but--

"Hello."

Nanxiang did not take a step to leave.

Instead, she stood calmly and looked at Matsuzaka Sayuri in front of her: "I am Nango Toki, a friend of Matsuzaka-san from the same school."

"Um……"

He did not respond to Nanxiang's words.

Matsuzaka Sayuri simply tilted her head, looking at Nango Toki in front of her with a thoughtful expression.

Then—

Her lips curved slightly upward, revealing a truly radiant smile.

"Hello. I am Sugar's aunt."

Nanxiang nodded expressionlessly.

He noticed it.

The person in front of me was clearly smiling, but there was no smile in their eyes at all.

Something's not right...

It's not right.

but…

Now that we've decided to find out about Matsuzaka Sugar, we can't back down here.

Without hesitation, Nanxiang looked up and decisively asked, "Excuse me, may I go in?"

"Oh dear, oh dear..."

Matsuzaka Sayuri smiled and said, "Of course, please come in."

She sidestepped to make way.

Those azure eyes never left Nanxiang Shi.

Click.

With a crisp sound, the door behind them slammed shut.

Meanwhile, upon entering the room, Nanxiang noticed an even stronger odor.

The ground was clearly dry.

The air felt unusually damp due to the peculiar odor that permeated the atmosphere.

Moreover, this taste is actually very familiar to Nanxiang.

If he's not mistaken, it should be...

"The scent of sexual intercourse?"

Nanxiang was pondering this in his heart.

Yes.

Having just had an in-depth discussion about guitar techniques with Goto Ichiri yesterday, he was very familiar with this smell.

This is undoubtedly the smell that lingers after doing that kind of thing.

but…

The smell of Nango Toki and Goto Ichiri was incomparable to the smell of the room in this house.

He only needs to open the window for a while to let the smell dissipate.

However, the odor here is extremely strong.

Even now, in the entryway, one can clearly feel the southern atmosphere.

"Please come in."

Matsuzaka Sayuri, standing behind Nango, smiled as if urging him on.

If it were an ordinary young person, faced with the unsettling atmosphere in this room, they might hesitate, or even turn around and find an excuse to leave.

But things were different in the south.

"Sorry to bother you."

His tone was very direct, with few pauses.

Having uttered those words, Nanxiang Shi then stepped inside.

However, the further you go in, the stronger the smell becomes.

Until we arrived at the relatively spacious living room.

The strong smell had only slightly subsided.

"We don't have any tea to offer, but please have some if you don't mind."

He watched as Nanxiang took his seat.

Matsuzaka Sayuri sat down opposite Nango Toki and handed him a water glass.

The transparent liquid reflected a few bright spots in the room.

Nanxiang didn't rush to drink the water; he simply thanked her and then handed over the box of snacks he was holding.

"If you don't mind this unexpected visit, please accept this."

"Oh dear."

She uttered a light, playful syllable, and Matsuzaka Sayuri's eyes lit up, revealing a smile: "Thank you for your trouble."

I took the snack box.

They exchanged a few more simple pleasantries.

Nango Toki wanted to say something, but Matsuzaka Sayuri spoke first.

"Nanxiang Jun".

"Ok?"

Nango looked at Matsuzaka Sayuri in front of him.

"Are you really our Sugar's friend?"

Matsuzaka Sayuri still wore that same expression—a smile that, though genuinely conveyed no real joy.
