Tokyo Soft Rice King.

It takes two to tango, and Kuroba Akira was just cooperating.

Hikawa Makoto understood this, of course; her warning was actually meant to shut Kuroba Akira up.

"I know! What I mean is, Ming, stop talking! Just be a background NPC who silently enjoys the meat!"

Although Akira Kuroba's original intention was to persuade Makoto Saionji to accept the talent transfer, Makoto Hikawa felt that anything he said now might cause Makoto's affection for him to increase.

My sister is getting love-struck!

"Okay, okay, I understand, but Zhencheng hasn't agreed to accept your talent yet."

"She'll agree! Anyway, you don't need to worry about it! Just eat your meat!"

"Alright, alright, you guys talk, I'll eat the meat."

As Kuroba Akira dried his hands and prepared to leave, Hikawa Makoto grabbed his hand again and added.

"Wait a minute! There's one more thing. What if Zhencheng shows interest in you and wants to develop a closer relationship with you..."

"Okay, okay, I got it. You want me to reject her, right?"

"No! If you refuse, Makoto will get hurt, but if you agree, things will become really complicated... So, just brush it off!"

"Fine……"

Kuroba Akira had just gotten rid of her 'indecisive' negative state because of Hikawa Makoto's suggestion, but now she herself is asking her to change back to it.

Of course, it's not that they actually change back; they just have to act like they're in a dilemma.

After all, he didn't want his sister, with whom he had finally reconciled, to break up again because of him.

Kuroba Akira returned to the table first, while Hikawa Makoto went to the bathroom because she felt a stomachache.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to be alone with the two of them, Saionji Machi spoke earnestly to Kuroba Akira.

"Kuroba-kun, I want to ask you a question."

"Ok?"

The meat hasn't arrived yet, so let's have some tea first.

"Have you and your sister already done it?"

"puff!"

Kuroba Akira, who had just taken a sip of tea, spat it out, spraying it all over the face of Shinichi opposite him.

But Saionji Machi showed no sign of disgust or aversion. She simply took out a tissue, wiped her face, and said something.

"I knew it... I knew that with my sister's personality, she would have already made a move on you, because you are the type of girl my sister likes."

She even guessed that it was Hikawa Makoto who took the initiative first.

"Furthermore, my sister must also appreciate that you don't care about other people's opinions and follow your heart."

Because Saionji Mato also likes this type.

Kuroba Akira wanted to explain that his special relationship with Makoto had been exposed to her sister so quickly, but remembering Makoto's instructions, he simply kept quiet and pretended to be mute.

However, Makoto Hikawa then asked an even more explosive question.

"So, Kuroba-kun, you and Kotomi have a relationship that goes beyond friendship, right?"

She didn't use "is it or isn't it?" to ask, but rather "is it also", which shows that she had already concluded that Kuroba Akira and Anri Hitomi were having an affair.

"..."

"Is this your default decision? Or did your sister tell you not to answer me?"

"..."

The sukiyaki pot in front of him was already hot, with white steam rising, but what made Kuroba Akira feel sweating on his forehead was the pressure from Makoto across from him.

"And when we first bumped into each other at the family restaurant, Murasaki was with you, along with another mature woman... I think her name is Tashiro Kurenai? What is your relationship with them? I bet it's not just a normal friendship."

Kuroba Akira was drenched in sweat.

"I don't know much about Ms. Tashiro, so I won't make any guesses. But since Hitomi and Murasomiya were both by your side during the cultural festival, and Murasomiya was willing to go on stage to sing because of you, it means that you have some kind of special relationship with them."

Akira Kuroba was drenched in sweat.

"Oh, right, and during the last school festival, she and you, Kuroba-kun, seemed really close. She mentioned to me that she often invites you to her house. Could it be that you two got together at her future home...?"

Akira Kuroba denied it.

"No, that's not true!"

They will remain just playmates in the future!

They haven't even gotten to the point of playing with each other's bodies yet!

"Oh? So, that means Hitomi and Murasaki no Miyako are 'really' pregnant?"

Oops.

Saionji Mato... she knows too much!

Thinking about it, although he hadn't seen her many times before, the girl next to Kuroba Akira was always different each time he ran into her.

Now that she knows her sister has been taken by Kuroba Akira, she will naturally wonder about Kuroba Akira's relationship with other girls.

Then, through direct interrogation using the 'most malicious speculation,' Saionji Machi came to a conclusion.

"Looks like you're a frivolous playboy, Kuroba-kun."

"Sorry……"

Kuroba Akira finally spoke up, but all he could do was apologize.

Does my sister know about these things?

"I certainly don't know as much as you do... but I do know something."

Kuroba Akira was already using honorifics with her.

After losing her older sister personality, will she revert to being a weak younger sister?

Who said that! Doesn't this just turn her into a scheming younger sister?!

"Is that so? It seems that one of the reasons my sister attacked you was because she knew about your relationship with Hitomi. It makes her even more eager to devour you, Kuroba-kun."

"Hmm? What do you mean? Now that you know about my relationship with the class president, you want to eat me even more? Does Makoto have some strange fetish?"

"Because when she was little, my sister loved to compete with Kotomi and fight over all sorts of things, and now she's doing the same thing with her boyfriend. And since Kotomi broke off our friendship, my sister will definitely want to get revenge on Kotomi, which is why she took the initiative to 'desecrate' Kuroba-kun..."

At this point, Saionji Makoto bowed his head and apologized to Kuroba Akira once again.

"I apologize on behalf of my sister. I'm sorry, Kuroba-kun, my sister has caused you trouble."

"Oh, no, no... I'm the one who's...causing you trouble..."

As if she had figured something out, Saionji Machi suddenly shook her head and chuckled.

"Hehe, it seems that even my older sister and Xiaotong have things they 'cannot do' and people they 'cannot completely obtain'..."

Then, looking at Kuroba Akira again, he already had the answer in his heart.

After a while, when Hikawa Makoto returned, the meal officially began, and Saionji Machi agreed to the earlier suggestion.

"I can accept my sister's talent, but I have one condition: you must date my sister, Kuroba-kun."

"Varied?!"

Hikawa Makoto was shocked. What did her sister mean by this?

Is she trying to play the wingman?

No need for me to help you out, sis! You've misunderstood! Ming and I are just...

Before she could even explain, Kuroba Akira shook his head and said...

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to that condition."

"Cough cough..."

Hikawa Makoto feigned a cough, giving Kuroba Akira a look that conveyed the message, "Have you forgotten what I just said?! Shut up!"

"Okay, let's change the terms."

Unexpectedly, Saionji Machi didn't even ask for a reason before accepting the terms and changing them.

"Then, Kuroba-kun, will you go out with me?"

"what?!"

Hikawa Makoto was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped.

Kuroba Akira continued to shake his head.

"That won't work either. This isn't your problem; it's my own. I won't associate with anyone right now."

"I understand. It seems that person has imposed very strong restrictions on you."

"..."

"By the way, marriage is probably not allowed either, right?"

"Yes."

“I understand. Then I hope that you, Kuroba-kun, can become the ‘person in charge’ for both my sister and me.”

"The person in charge?"

"Yes, if I accept my sister's talent and she loses it, and either of us gets into trouble, you, Kuroba-kun, will be responsible for resolving it."

"You mean you'll provide after-sales service, right? Of course. In the process of helping to transfer your talents, I'm not just acting as a 'data cable,' but also as a 'receiver' like you, sharing your sister's talents and karma. So if you have any problems, I will definitely take responsibility."

"In other words, my sister and I... our lives from now on will be the responsibility of Kuroba-kun."

Hikawa Makoto, who couldn't keep up with the two, looked bewildered.

"Real oranges?!"

Chapter 316 Sisters' Shared Feelings

"Wait, wait, wait! What are you saying?! Zhen Cheng!"

Hikawa Makoto frowned at her sister, a hint of confusion in her eyes, because the conversation that had just taken place was completely beyond her comprehension.
