Tokyo Soft Rice King.

Even Makoto Hikawa hadn't considered the idea of ​​'living together as a family,' but her younger sister brought it up.

Saionji Masato's idea was actually the same as Takanashi's: as long as they could keep Kuroba Akira around, it would only be a matter of time before they could take him down.

Unfortunately, Kuroba Akira wouldn't agree, he said with a troubled expression.

"Ahem... Well, I'm sorry, but that's probably not feasible. First of all, I'm currently staying at someone else's house, so it's not convenient for me to move out, and I don't really want to. Secondly, if I were to move out and live with other women, there's a real possibility that a life-or-death situation could arise, and you might also be implicated."

If you don't want to get triple kills by the yandere-ified Shion, then you'd better not do anything reckless.

Saionji Machi immediately understood the reason behind it and muttered to herself while rubbing her chin.

“I see, so it’s the constraint from ‘the other side’… No wonder a ‘balance’ has been achieved… For Kuroba-kun, who is still a student, ‘home’ and ‘school’ are the two major centers of his life…”

"What? What are you saying, Zhencheng?"

"It's nothing, it's okay if you don't know, as long as I do, I will make sure 'our interests' are protected."

What?!

Hikawa Makoto felt like her younger sister was treating her like an idiot.

"Then let's forget about living together for now, but I hope you can exchange contact information with me, Kuroba-kun. My sister has probably already exchanged with you... Also, please set me and my sister as special ringtones, and I hope you can reply to our messages immediately after seeing them."

Saionji Masato then proposed some new conditions, which Kuroba Akira agreed to.

After the conditions were established, Kuroba Akira, having eaten his fill, extended his right hand to them.

"So... are you coming?"

After exchanging glances, the three sisters looked at each other again. Saionji Makoto nodded to her older sister first, and Hikawa Makoto also made up her mind and nodded in agreement.

Yes, don't always think the worst. Worrying about this and that is not like you at all!

Since the younger sister wants it, then as the older sister, I should give it to her! That's how it was before, it's how it is now, and it will be in the future!

"bring it on!"

Hikawa Makoto grasped Kuroba Akira's right hand and imprinted her talent into it.

Then he began to silently think to himself, 'I will pass on my talents to my younger sister.'

After copying, Kuroba Akira was about to shake Makoto's hand when he found that she had already opened her right hand to him with a smile.

Judging from the hand gesture, it means they want to clasp their fingers together.

Because we didn't know exactly how long we should hold hands, we held hands for quite a while, until our palms became sticky from sweating.

Saionji Makoto's face turned red again. She once again thought of what happened in the movie theater. She felt so helpless at that time and almost leaked her virginity because of embarrassment.

This time, however, she gently pursed her lips, a shy smile playing on her lips. Her bright eyes did not flinch; instead, they met Kuroba Akira's gaze with unwavering determination.

She wanted to acknowledge her feelings and accept this rare and budding affection.

After a long while, Makoto Hikawa said somewhat jealously, "That's enough, isn't it?" and the two then separated their hands.

Kuroba Akira examined his palms to see if the first transfer had been successful.

He discovered that his hands had lost the words but gained markings.

It is a double-headed arrow symbol with two characters on each side: 'Makoto' and 'Makoto'.

Then she looked up and asked the two sisters to show her their right palms. Makoto only had one talent left in her hand, and the position of the text had changed to the position when there was only one talent. Meanwhile, the text 'Styling Design A' appeared in Makoto's hand.

It looks like we succeeded!

This time it's definitely a transfer of talent, not just copying!

"The transfer was successful! How do you feel now?"

The two sisters closed their eyes and tried to feel something... but they couldn't feel anything.

"...I don't seem to notice anything different."

"I feel the same way as my sister... I don't have any particular feelings."

"Well, it's a talent, not a superpower. I didn't feel anything special when I copied other people's talents before. Talents only work in areas related to them. You'll know once you go back and try it. Let's eat now, the pot is getting cold."

After hearing Kuroba Akira's explanation, the two nodded in acceptance and began to eat dinner.

After finishing their meal, Akira Kuroba paid the bill, and then the three of them went to the station together. Akira saw Makoto off on the train, leaving Akira and Makoto alone.

The same situation as the last date.

Then, just like last time, Makoto was a little aroused and pouted as she spoke.

"Hey, Ming... Today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday... which means it's okay if I get up a little late tomorrow, right?"

Kuroba knew perfectly well what she was implying: she wanted to ask her out.

Although going home too late will result in Ziyin nagging and even more punishment from her.

But since she already knows, and refusing Makoto will only make her angry...

It's nice to change things up once in a while, but that kind of thinking is more like that of a jerk.

……

As Saionji Machi reached her front door, she took out her keys from her pocket and suddenly felt a strange sensation in her stomach.

But this definitely doesn't feel like diarrhea, nor does it feel like a stitch... This feeling is...!

Her face was flushed red as she struggled to hold onto the doorknob, but she felt like she was about to lose her balance.

Zhencheng immediately thought of her older sister.

Could it be that……

My own feelings and my sister's feelings...

Are they connected?

Chapter 317 Early Experience

The feeling, like having worms crawling around in her stomach, made Saionji Machi lean against her front door for a while to catch her breath.

After finally getting over the strange sensation, Saionji Machi regained her balance, quickly opened the door, and went into her home.

All she wanted to do now was rush to the bathroom to check if it was really as she thought, that she and her sister were connected.

However, as soon as she entered the house, she saw her father waiting for her in the living room, with a table full of dishes laid out.

Then Saionji Machi realized that she had forgotten to call her father to tell him that she would be late coming home today... Seeing that he had waited for her for so long, she immediately felt guilty.

When Saionji Kyoichi heard the door open, he looked up and saw his daughter. He smiled kindly, got up and went over to ask her what was wrong.

"Zhencheng, you're back! That's great! I was worried something had happened since you didn't come back so late."

"Sorry, Dad, I forgot to text you. I... I just went to the celebration party."

After thinking about it for a while, Saionji Machi decided not to tell her father about meeting her sister.

"I thought so too, so I didn't call to bother you."

Saionji Kyouichi was quite at ease with his daughter. If it were the 'pre-exchange True Orange', it might have caused some trouble, but this little daughter had been well-behaved since she was little, and now she had become even more sensible. She was exactly the 'other people's daughter' that others talked about, making him, as her father, very worry-free. So he gave his daughter the maximum freedom.

Seeing that his daughter didn't seem too disappointed or regretful when she returned home, Kyoichi Saionji couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"So, what was the result of the match?"

"I made it to the finals, but unfortunately I lost... My dad's coach's daughter. She was really too good. I only got one point from her... But I did my best, so I don't have too many regrets."

Saionji Machi revealed a relieved smile and recounted the results of today's match and her feelings afterward in one breath.

"Real orange..."

Kyoichi Saionji looked at his daughter, somewhat dazed. He noticed that his daughter seemed to have changed, and seemed to resemble her when she was a child again.

Previously, his daughter always treated him with utmost respect. While it was good that his daughter respected her father, it also made Kyoichi Saionji feel a sense of estrangement, as if they were strangers living together.

Although he knew that girls usually start to dislike their middle-aged fathers when they reach puberty, Saionji Kyoichi was already very gratified that Mako didn't show any obvious disgust towards him, but he still hoped that he could have a closer relationship with his daughter.

After all, Zhencheng was separated from his mother at a young age and lacked some maternal love, so it was up to him, the father, to find a way to make up for it.

The best thing would be to reconcile with his wife. Kyoichi Saionji also misses his wife very much, but the reality doesn't allow it.

Ultimately, the real reason for their divorce was not due to emotional issues, but rather the antagonistic relationship between the Saionji and Hikawa families.

It was only after marrying his wife that Saionji Kyoichi learned that his wife's father was someone who had been involved in 'that incident'. As a former member of the royalist 'nobility', Saionji's family could not accept him being with the 'daughter of a rebel'.

Although his wife changed her surname to follow him and kept it a secret for a while, it was eventually exposed, and the couple was forced to divorce. Their daughter was also taken as a 'hostage', with one in the Saionji family and one in the Hikawa family, much like how princes were sent to other countries as hostages in medieval Europe.

If he wants to reconcile with his wife, he'll probably have to wait until all those stubborn old men in the Saionji family are dead...

Saionji Kyouichi had absolutely no liking for those old people who treated him like a puppet, and even hated them for breaking up their families because of pointless political struggles. So he cursed them to die soon without any guilt.

Nowadays, the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda Ward has become a 'tourist attraction' that everyone can visit, and it's utterly ridiculous to still dream of restoring its former status.

Although Saionji Kyoichi despised his family, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse; the family still had some foundation. Even if they couldn't control others, they could still easily manipulate the younger members of their own family.

Therefore, Saionji Kyoichi, who originally wanted to break away from the family and sever ties with the Saionji family, ultimately chose to compromise with the family for the safety of his wife and two daughters.

But he believed that if he waited, one day the landscape of Japan would change again, and his family would be able to become whole again...

He has already waited for ten years and doesn't mind continuing to wait.

While Kyoichi Saionji was thinking about these things, Masato Saionji kept her head down and remained silent, her fingers unconsciously twisting together.

A strange feeling swept over my body again, and this time my skin was being 'cared for' in every way.

This feeling, like encountering a perverted maniac on a train, made Saionji Mato feel both shy and terrified, standing there helplessly like a frightened fawn.

The key issue is... I simply couldn't stop this 'invisible man's' groping behavior!

She looked down at her large cup, focusing on the tip. Even though there was nothing under her clothes and the cup wasn't deformed, the sensation was unusually clear!

It's a bit like phantom limb pain... Saionji Maju feels like she has an extra virtual body, and this virtual body is receiving a 'massage' from someone.

Suddenly, Saionji Machi's body stiffened abruptly, her lips parted slightly, and she let out a barely audible gasp.

"hiss……"

Sister...you...!

To think that Kuroba-kun would...!

Guh...! No...! ...!

I'm going crazy...!!!
