Tokyo Soft Rice King.

It's only because S-class talents inherently contain very strong karma that they can involuntarily lead their holders down the path of becoming actors, which is why the risk of being consumed by S-class talents is so high.

But it just so happens...

Saionji Maju fulfilled this condition.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been acting, playing a role that is not herself, and she has maintained this for ten years.

Even if she herself did not have the talent, the long enough duration of her persistence, and what could be described as madness and obsession, allowed her to create a new personality in her mind.

Originally, this was just a persona she created out of her conflicting feelings of longing and fear of exposure. It was flawed because she lacked talent, and because of her self-contradiction, she was already on the verge of losing the act.

However, he underwent a 'qualitative change' at this moment because he unexpectedly shared extraordinary S-class talent.

And in just that short time, she was overwhelmed by Ziyin's talent.

Her indecisiveness prevented her from mastering the personality of the character she created, resulting in her being overtaken and her original self being suppressed.

At this moment, the real Saionji Machi found herself watching a movie inside her own body, completely out of control, as if controlled by AI, entering an 'auto-running' mode.

Meanwhile, Saionji Mato has transformed into the 'ideal older sister'.

Then, from the older sister's perspective, 'the younger sister's happiness' is the most important thing.

Now she believes that happiness for Makoto is to marry Akira Kuroba, because she knows that Akira Kuroba is the type of person Makoto Hikawa likes, and if it weren't someone she likes, given Makoto Hikawa's personality, she would never have come out to see him, let alone meet him alone.

The older sister will do anything to help her younger sister get what she wants; this is the underlying logic of Saionji Mato's 'pseudo-personality'.

In other words, she wants to help Hikawa Makoto win over Kuroba Akira.

Therefore, she deliberately said ambiguous things to seduce Kuroba Akira and to provoke her younger sister, stirring up her rebellious spirit.

If you don't seriously try to win over Kuroba Akira, I'm going to steal the person you like away!

Saionji Machi is deliberately creating this sense of crisis.

So after maintaining her handshake with Kuroba Akira and saying those ambiguous words, she deliberately showed him her intertwined hands, just so that Hikawa Makoto could see them clearly.

When Hikawa Makoto saw it, she felt very confused, but even more shocked.

What's going on... Is she... showing off?

Given her personality, she shouldn't do something like this, especially not deliberately to show off...

The key question is, why do I feel a little angry?

Seeing Hikawa Makoto's furrowed brow, Saionji Machi knew she had achieved her goal, so she let go of Kuroba Akira's hand and went to the restroom.

A perfect older sister wouldn't leak urine in a movie theater.

Seeing Makoto leave, Hikawa Makoto rested her chin on her hand, her mind in turmoil, and she lost all interest in watching the movie.

In the end, only Akira Kuroba watched the entire movie.

It is indeed a masterpiece.

It tells the story of an angel who fell to earth, met a girl from the slums, and raised her to adulthood. But in fact, it is a cyber war world. The angel is actually an autonomous humanoid combat weapon, codenamed Angel. He accidentally fell to the slums because of enemy shelling, met the girl from the slums, and raised her to adulthood.

The robot gained humanity and emotions, and the girl raised by the robot used love to move everyone and became the terminator of the war.

The most amazing thing about this movie is that the grown-up girl and the 'mechanical angel' are both played by Riro Tsukimi.

The fact that one person can play two roles and portray them 'completely different' is enough to prove their excellent acting skills.

Kuroba Akira remembers the last movie where someone could play two roles so well was Jim Carrey's "One Piece: A Big Headache".

When Saionji Mado returned from the restroom, the movie had just ended.

After watching the movie, Akira Kuroba wanted to share his thoughts with the twin sisters, but they didn't seem interested, so he had to give up in disappointment.

After leaving the movie theater, Saionji Makoto once again took Kuroba Akira's hand, a move that surprised both Kuroba Akira and Hikawa Makoto.

Hikawa Makoto couldn't take it anymore and spoke up directly.

"Hey, Zhencheng, do you want to hold his hand forever? Why don't you just take him home?"

Saionji Machen covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Makoto, are you envious of me?"

"Huh?! What nonsense are you talking about! I mean, he's not your boyfriend, so please don't do things that will cause misunderstandings!"

Akira Kuroba nodded, indicating that if he were a naive young man, he would have fallen in love with the other person after holding hands twice.

Luckily, I'm experienced and already a master at touching hands.

"I think holding hands is a symbol of friendship, you know? Kuroba-kun and I are already friends."

"That was a handshake!"

"Hmm... Since Makoto, you don't want to see us holding hands... then Kuroba-kun's hand is yours to keep."

As she spoke, Saionji Makoto smiled and took Hikawa Makoto's left hand, then placed Kuroba Akira's right hand in hers.

"Hey...! This...!"

What kind of logic is that?!

Saionji Makoto! Are you out of your mind?!

Hikawa Makoto screamed in her mind, feeling like she was going crazy. Was this really the Makoto she knew?

And the way she looks... is practically... an extension of my former self...

Ugh... Just looking at it makes me want to vomit! Utterly disgusting!

Kuroba Akira was the one who could best sense Hikawa Makoto's furious mood at that moment... because his hand was about to be crushed by Hikawa Makoto as a hand gripper.

what is the problem?

How come these twin sisters started arguing again while watching a movie?

Kuroba Akira, sweating profusely, changed the subject.

"Um! How about we go eat first? We can chat while we eat..."

Hikawa Makoto, barely suppressing her anger, clicked her tongue and said...

"Tsk... There's a pretty good ramen shop over on Dogenzaka..."

"Wouldn't eating ramen be enough?"

"What does it matter! As long as it tastes good, that's all that matters!"

"That's true."

JK really likes eating ramen.

Japanese ramen is quite delicious, but the broth is so thick and salty. No wonder the Japanese like to pair carbs with carbs...

"Then come with me!"

Hikawa Makoto simply grabbed Kuroba Akira and left, almost as if she didn't want her boyfriend to continue being seduced by his older sister.

Actually, there's another reason to choose a ramen shop: the turnover rate is very fast. Customers will finish eating as quickly as possible, and since they're constantly slurping while eating ramen, they don't have time to talk, so they can finish quickly and leave as soon as possible.

Hikawa Makoto just wants to get away from Saionji Makoto, who has suddenly become a million times more disgusting.

What she didn't expect was that even in the ramen shop, Saionji Machi could still show off her older sister side.

"Honestly, look at you, don't eat so fast..."

When Kuroba Akira got soup splattered on his face while eating noodles, Saionji Madoka naturally took out a handkerchief to wipe his face. That kind and natural gesture made Kuroba Akira feel a strange sense of unease.

What's going on? It seems like she's taking care of him like a younger brother?

No, are you sure you're taking care of the right person? Your sister looks like a demon right next to you!

After gently wiping Kuroba Akira's face, Saionji Makoto turned to Hikawa Makoto and said something.

"Makoto, you too..."

Furthermore, she planned to use the same side of the same handkerchief to indirectly kiss Akira Kuroba and Makoto Hikawa.

"I! Don't! Need!"

The older sister's good intentions were ruthlessly rejected by the younger sister.

Hikawa Makoto, eating noodles in a frenzy.

Actually, she wasn't hungry. In fact, there was someone next to her who was extremely disgusting, and she felt a little nauseous.

But she couldn't bear it any longer...

We must get away from this strange Saionji Mako immediately!

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Sister Exchange

"I'm stuffed!"

Clang!

After finishing her ramen broth, Hikawa Makoto put down her straw hat bowl, placed the money on the table, and then suddenly turned her head, glaring at Kuroba Akira with narrowed eyes, conveying the message, "Finish your food now!"

"It's alright, Kuroba-kun, eat slowly. Be careful not to choke. Do you need me to cool it down for you?"

Meanwhile, Saionji Makoto smiled and showed concern for Kuroba Akira, telling him not to rush to finish his food, as he was determined to go against his sister.

Kuroba Akira felt pressure from both sides, but it was also a familiar feeling. Wasn't this the most classic battleground?

In the end, it still happened between these two sisters...

Ziyin and the class president rarely see each other now, and they probably don't want to see each other either. So they are fighting each other from afar based on the scent and traces on Kuroba Akira's body. But if the two of them were to meet, their situation would probably be similar to that of the two sisters.

Compared to being physically pulled by the arm, this feeling of being caught in the middle was giving Kuroba Akira a real headache, so he simply ignored everyone's advice and continued eating his noodles at his own pace.

Hmm... the ramen at this ramen shop is indeed quite good. Kuroba Akira ordered the chicken broth ramen recommended by the shop owner. A bowl costs 750 yen. The chicken broth, made from chicken bones, is paired with chewy, ultra-thin wheat noodles. It's not too salty, and the taste is surprisingly refreshing.

Incidentally, Hikawa Makoto ordered the rich tonkotsu ramen, while Saionji Mato ordered soy sauce ramen, just like the two sisters' current stances and styles, which are completely opposite.

After Kuroba Akira calmly finished his bowl of noodles, the shop manager was deeply impressed by this model of a man who could remain calm even when caught in a dangerous situation, so he gave him a plate of fried dumplings as a gift.

"Oh, thank you, manager. Let's eat together then, come on, ah~"

After dividing the dumplings into portions with chopsticks, Kuroba Akira picked one up and fed it to Hikawa Makoto, who had already finished eating.

"Huh?! You...!"

She wanted to lash out, but then she remembered that this was a shop, and it would be too rude to make a scene. Also, Kuroba Akira's silly, love-like feeding behavior had attracted the attention of other customers in the shop.
