Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"Sister, I also think that saying that is going too far."

Hikawa Makoto quickly raised her hands in front of her chest to calm everyone down... It seems she still needs to be more tactful in her words.

"Don't get agitated. I wasn't talking about you. Including me, our relationship with him was just a transaction... well, at least it isn't anymore."

Anri Hitomi thought: If it were the original enlightened ruler, he would still treat it as a transaction.

It was only later, thanks to his own guidance, that the wise ruler was able to confront his own heart...

So you should thank me for the genuine kindness he showed you.

"What I mean is, it would be better if there was both physical and mental communication, but the physical and mental communication cannot be completely integrated. For those who are more open-minded, physical communication is not particularly special."

It is indeed hard for inexperienced, well-behaved kids to accept, but if you only look at the survey, you will find that most of them actually had experience in high school.

"Like in our high school, right? Those really hot girls who were really promiscuous, maybe dating a lot of men, even having sex with multiple men at the same time..."

Makoto Hikawa felt the gazes around her becoming increasingly piercing, so she quickly stopped and said something.

"Well! But I guess you guys don't want to become the kind of people who absolutely have to eat it!"

Everyone thought in unison: Isn't that obvious!

Then, Takanashi Mirai seized the opportunity to interject with a sarcastic remark.

"I mean, the situation is now 'completely the opposite'..."

With a straight man in mind, Makoto Hikawa reflexively chimed in.

"Indeed, situations like this, where one person has many, are rare, but they do exist, right? Like that, the emperor's harem, or the dens of women kept by wealthy tycoons... Speaking of which, if you have enough money, you can go to the red-light district of Kabukicho and order as many hostesses as you want..."

Here we go again, that piercing gaze!

"Of course! I didn't mean you were bar girls!"

While Makoto Hikawa verbally reassured everyone, she was inwardly grumbling.

That's enough! These women are such a pain in the neck!

I know you are very pure! Pure! Innocent!

So innocent they're fighting over men here!

“I know what you’re worried about. You just feel that it’s not very traditional for everyone to be together, and it’s even a bit like A-Vie, but it’s not something that’s completely unforgivable, is it?”

Hikawa Makoto made an expression of exasperation, waved her hand, and continued speaking.

"Are you nuns? Or nuns? Is it really necessary to put up with this?"

Shiori Shirai rolled her eyes and retorted.

"Makoto, you're being too casual... The reasons you gave seem so unimportant, as if you can do anything just because the phone rings..."

Hearing this evaluation, Hikawa Makoto was not angry at all. Instead, her eyes lit up and she pointed at Shiori and exclaimed.

"That's it!"

"what?"

Shiori Shirai was dumbfounded, wondering what Shirai had realized this time.

"Shiori, you're right! As long as the phone comes back on, that's fine!"

"Hey?"

Everyone still looked confused, so Makoto Hikawa continued to explain.

"You should be more spontaneous when it comes to these things! For example, when you feel unbearably lonely, when you feel sad and need comforting, or during the period before your period when you feel unable to control your impulses, like right now... cough cough..."

After coughing twice, she continued.

"In short! At this moment, it would be even better if a man were by my side to comfort me! It's just an emotional expression like eating delicious food, watching movies, or playing games!"

Then, as if anticipating that someone would disagree with her by saying "that's not the same thing," Hikawa Makoto spoke up before anyone else could interject.

"Of course I understand your desire to take relationships seriously, after all, I'm half serious myself, but how deep the feelings are and sex aren't absolutely related, are they?"

"Look, we're not characters in a dating simulation game where you have to reach maximum affection level before you can have an H-scene... There's no such 'condition,' right?"

It seems... there really isn't one.

You need to have feelings of the same degree as Shion Murasaki, or at least the same level of devotion she showed to Akira Kuroba...

These conditions and difficulties arise from the competition of feelings and sentiments.

But in reality, this deviates from one's own ideas and is just a competition of who puts in more effort.

At that moment, everyone suddenly understood what Hikawa Makoto meant.

There's really no need to be like her (Shion Murasaki).

Building on this, Makoto Hikawa provided even further inspiration.

"So the key point is that you've got the 'subject' wrong. The important thing isn't 'whether he's comfortable,' but 'whether I'm comfortable.' My own feelings are the most important!"

Then she remembered her conversation with Kuroba Akira before. At that time, Kuroba Akira was also hesitant and didn't act like a man at all...

Now I can suddenly understand why he would be the way he is.

Because these women are all the same.

They all took relationships too seriously and thought too highly of their partners, thus neglecting their own feelings.

Seriously...you bunch of women obsessed with giving! You should really pay more attention to yourselves!

“You and Ming have the same problem. You sacrificed too much. Try to put yourself in his shoes. From his perspective, he doesn’t need you to ‘live only for him.’”

These words struck a nerve with Shion Murasaki, causing her to retort with a huff.

"What makes you so confident to say that? What do you know about him?"

"I may not understand him as well as you do, but I think it's a very simple principle: everyone has times when they want to be alone, right? So he must have too."

"..."

Even Murasaki no Miyako no Shion could not refute it.

Because what she said was common sense.

Everyone needs private space.

“You see, guys must have times when they feel more relaxed hanging out with men than with women.”

They were the ones who trespassed into Kuroba Akira's private space.

"It's just like some people don't like crowded places or group activities; it's simply a matter of personal feelings."

Only then did they realize that they were 'intruders'.

"If he's constantly bothered by women, he'll definitely get annoyed. It's like someone insisting on hugging you on a hot day; he'd definitely hate it."

So mature...!

How could she see things so clearly?

Everyone began to change their opinion of Hikawa Makoto.

She doesn't seem like the kind of woman whose mind is only filled with dirty thoughts, does she?

Enjoying the admiring glances around her, Hikawa Makoto crossed her legs smugly, arms crossed, head held high, a smug look on her face.

Then her sister exposed her older sister's secrets.

"Sister, you clearly know these principles, but you do completely different things. You've been harassing Kuroba-kun all along."

"Don't call it harassment! It was just an invitation! An invitation!"

After making her own excuses, Makoto Hikawa then went on to state her own position.

"So, knowing is one thing, but how I act on it is my own business, right? I don't care if he's annoying or not. From my perspective, of course I want to enjoy myself first! He has no choice but to cooperate with me!"

Extremely selfish...

Too self-centered...

A selfish and willful woman...

The crowd, whose opinion had just begun to change slightly, narrowed their eyes again, realizing they had admired her for nothing.

However, only Aizen Moe still looked at her with admiration, and even more so.

Being able to carry out one's ideas to the end...that's really impressive!

"Anyway, my world won't revolve around him, so I made it clear to Ming that I don't need him to take responsibility for my life, and I don't need him to raise the child even if I get pregnant unexpectedly."

These words completely shattered Shion Murasomiya's common sense.

For her, who was obsessed with love, it was simply incomprehensible that such a woman could exist in the world... Was she really the same 'species' as herself?

They're like aliens...it's so weird!

She originally wanted to investigate whether there were any of her kind, but instead she discovered a heretic.

Makoto Hikawa shrugged and continued.

"Well, it doesn't matter to me which of you marries her..."

Even if he gets married, I'll still openly go and secretly meet up with him... Hikawa Makoto only thought the second half of this sentence in her heart, without saying it out loud.

Just hearing this statement, everyone was moved by her "loser's declaration." How could this woman have such a high level of awareness?

In particular, Akiko Takanashi and Kaori Daiko exchanged glances, both with surprised expressions on their faces.

She's only JK age, but she's actually in the adult group?

"But I'll ruin his wedding and play the recording of us having sex in a hotel room in front of everyone, hehe."

Okay, she's still a nasty, wicked woman.

Makoto Hikawa was included in everyone's list of people they "absolutely do not want to invite to the wedding".

"But as for that guy, he'll probably stay single until he dies... It's not that he doesn't have a partner, it's that he has too many partners, so he can't choose one to marry."

Then he looked at the group of women in front of him and made a sarcastic remark.

"If he really chooses one, some of you will probably become serial killers, and I might even get killed. So for my own life, I support him not putting all his eggs in one basket, hehe."

The others remained silent.
