Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"Could you buy all the novels and comics in this bookstore for me?"

"..."

Well, it seems she's completely addicted to entertainment reading materials like novels and comics.

It's a bit like how kids get completely absorbed in anime after watching it.

"Alright, I'll take you to a nice place then... but let me make a call first to see if it's convenient there."

If we're talking about a place brimming with comics and novels... a comic cafe? Of course not, then it has to be Takanashi House.

Although going directly there probably wouldn't be a problem, Kuroba Akira still made a phone call to inquire, and naturally received a very willing reply from Mirai.

"Okay, okay, okay! Come on over! Let's set off towards happiness!"

The future remains peaceful as always; she has been waiting for Kuroba Akira to come and visit her.

As long as I keep the ACGN treasure trove that my mother has hoarded for me, I don't have to worry about Kuroba Akira not coming to my house to play.

However, after receiving the latest information, the future side also felt a sense of crisis. After all, if Kuroba Akira had his own house, it would mean that he could build his own homestead, and he might not come to their house to play anymore.

Moreover, the original intention of sending her mother to work as a nanny at Kobayashi's house was to expand the influence of the Takanashi family to Kuroba Akira's house. However, now that her mother has finally gained a foothold in Kobayashi's house, the most crucial thing is that Kuroba Akira has moved away.

We need to readjust our strategy.

In fact, she already had some ideas, but whether they could be implemented smoothly depended on the subsequent negotiations.

Having received the promise, Kuroba Akira paid the bill and then went to Takanashi's house with Amayu Hikaru, who was carrying two novels and a manga.

"Excuse me... Oh no, I'm back."

"Welcome back, dear."

"Dad! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Kuroba Akira was warmly greeted by Takanashi and her mother as he entered the house. One helped him take off his clothes and change his shoes, while the other gave him a hug and a kiss as if he were coming home.

As everyone knows, Takanashi's house is also Akira Kuroba's second home, where his wife and daughter live... Originally it was just role-playing, but now it's probably hard to tell the difference.

"..."

Tianyu Guang remained expressionless as he watched this scene, showing no shock or even doubt.

The mother and daughter, Takanashi, originally intended to give her a hard time, but she remained calm and composed, which surprised them instead.

Tianyu Guang glanced at his brother and his wife and daughter's intimate behavior and asked casually.

"So, this is the good place you were talking about?"

"Yes, look at the bookshelf over there in the living room. It probably has more comics than the bookstore we just visited."

"Yes, I'm very satisfied."

After saying that, Tianyu Guang took off his shoes and went to look for novels and comics that interested him without saying a word.

Kuroba Akira sighed and said.

"Honestly, if you're going to someone's house to read a book, you should at least greet the host properly first..."

Just as he was about to apologize to Mirai and Akiko on behalf of his sister, he heard a voice drifting from afar.

"Brother, aren't you the master of this house?"

"..."

The mother and daughter, who were holding onto Kuroba Akira's arms, nodded repeatedly, beaming with joy.

Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely right! He is the owner of this house! Sister-in-law, you're so perceptive! We accept you now!

With just one sentence, Hikaru Amagi won over the Takanashi family, mother and daughter; she really knows how to win people's hearts.

After that, Akira Kuroba sat down and explained the origins of Hikari Ame no Hikari to Akiko and Mirai. He set aside the divine matters for the time being and only said that he and Hikari Ame no Hikari were once a brother and sister from the Hisa family, a branch of the Ame no family. However, due to the family's arrangements, he came to Tokyo, while his sister stayed in their hometown. Now, for some reason, his sister came to Tokyo to visit her brother.

"Hey, so she's Ming's 'real sister'..."

Mirai, resting her chin on her hand, watched Amayu Hikaru completely absorbed in reading in front of the bookshelf, and felt a mix of emotions.

Since she had previously claimed to be Akira Kuroba's younger sister, she now feels a bit competitive when she sees Akira Kuroba's real younger sister.

However, her future identity and stance can be flexibly changed. She personally prefers to tease her brother in her "little devil" mode, but when she wants to act cute, she will still interact with Kuroba Akira as a daughter.

"Well... in terms of status, we're probably siblings, but now..."

She's not the real sister, and I'm not the real brother; two 'fakes' are embarking on a journey to find their past.

"How should I put it? It's more like a distant cousin I've never met."

She doesn't have any sisterly charm at all; she's not even as good as the little devil sister she'll be playing in the future.

As for Hikari Amane before she lost her memory, she had an overly strong sisterly aura, which made her seem a bit scary.

After hearing about Kuroba Akira's background, Akiko touched her cheek and asked.

"So, does that mean my dear and I are still distant relatives?"

"Oh, yes, that's true. After all, the Takanashi family was once a branch of the Ameha family."

Mirai straddled Kuroba Akira's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and exclaimed excitedly.

"It turns out we were destined to be family all along!"

Is that another way to explain it...?

However, Akira Kuroba also felt that this fate was quite wonderful.

He knew Takanashi and her mother through the class monitor before he knew his own background, and only now did he realize that he had such a connection with the Takanashi family.

"By the way, I heard you moved out?"

"Yes, it has been moved to the shrine."

After receiving a definite answer, Wei Lai winked at her mother, conveying the message, "See, Mom! I told you! Ming has already moved his base, you should go with him!"

Akiko actually quite enjoys working as a nanny at Kobayashi's house. She has a close best friend, Hongxiang, whom she gets along with very well, as well as a kind mother-in-law. Although she is a bit aloof, Shion-chan gives her and her loved one a chance to spend time together. No one really treats her like a nanny... It feels like she has married into Kuroba Akira's family and become a daughter-in-law.

But my daughter is right too. We must not forget our original purpose: to live with our beloved!

So Akiko made the suggestion in a seemingly natural manner.

"Then I'll cook for you, dear."

"Actually, I'll still eat at Kobayashi's house, so Akiko, you don't need to cook for me separately. I just go back to the shrine to sleep at night... There's no room for me at Kobayashi's house anymore..."

Kuroba Akira turned his head away with a desolate expression.

Seeing that her cooking offensive was not working, Akiko immediately switched to cleaning.

"Then, shall I go and help my darling clean the room?"

"The cleaning is almost finished these past few days, so I won't trouble you any further, Akiko. Besides, the shrine building is quite large, how can I let you clean it all by yourself? Don't think of yourself as a servant, Akiko. You're my wife, and I'll feel bad if you have to work so hard."

"Ah, yes..."

Having been told this, Akiko naturally blushed and lowered her head, her voice barely audible. Under the table, she tugged at her daughter's nightgown, signaling for help.

Waaah, my sweet daughter, Mommy can't take it anymore! My husband is so amazing, please come and help Mommy, I want to warm his bed.

Honestly, you still have to rely on me when it matters... Mom, just you wait and see!

"Ming, you said you live in a very big place now?"

"Yes, there are plenty of empty rooms."

If it weren't for the no-overnight-stay rule, it seems like it wouldn't be a problem to let all the members of the Literature Club move in... But then it would really become a girls' dormitory, and Kuroba Akira is the dormitory manager.

"Can I discuss something with you? Is it possible to set up a motion capture shed in your home?"

"A dynamic trapping shed? Oh... indeed..."

To make the virtual suit come to life, motion capture equipment is still needed.

That said, motion capture equipment must be very expensive now, and no one has used it for virtual streamers yet. In other words, even streaming is an emerging industry, let alone something as cutting-edge as virtual streamers.

If we can upgrade our technology first, we can indeed be several levels ahead in this field.

"Okay, then set one up over there."

"Could we also build a recording studio? Just like the one at home... Of course, Mom will pay for it all!"

“Sure, let’s set up a recording studio, or maybe an editing room, so that we can do live streaming and video production together… If it’s convenient for you in the future, you can come to my house to do video streaming business.”

"Great! That would be perfect!"

The mother and daughter excitedly clasped hands under the table.

Now the mother and daughter's workplace is at Kuroba Akira's house. Every day, they go to work to see Kuroba Akira, which greatly increases the time they spend together!

This idea is actually exactly the same as Shiori's idea of ​​maintaining a long-term connection with Akira Kuroba through manga serialization.

Since we can't stay overnight, let's make use of the daytime...

Work encroaches on life.

Chapter 413 You deserve to be targeted, man like you

After receiving permission to set up a work room in Akira Kuroba's new shrine home, the mother and daughter were in high spirits. They clung to Akira Kuroba, enjoying plenty of watermelon and xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) while also spending quality time together as a family.

Meanwhile, the non-human being named Hikari Amane is completely immersed in the world of manga and novels.

Seeing her like this, Kuroba Akira was reminded of the days when he first became obsessed with anime, a period when he truly forgot to eat and sleep...

On the contrary, after starting work, I lost the enthusiasm to follow the latest episodes. I don't even know what new anime series has come out or what chapter the manga I'm following has been updated to... It's really sad.

Time flew by and it was evening, so the brother and sister naturally stayed at the Birdstalk House for dinner.

Unlike before when he ate New Year's bento boxes and seemed completely uninterested in the food, Tianyu Guang now wolfed down his meal and even had two more bowls of rice.

After eating his fill, Tenyu Hikaru clasped his hands together and thanked Akiko.

"Thank you for the hospitality. It was absolutely delicious. No wonder you're the woman my brother has his eye on. It's my brother's good fortune to have a wife as skilled as you. I'm also benefiting from your good fortune."

Akiko's lips curled up in a wide smile from the compliment, as if sugar had been sprinkled on her heart, making her feel sweet and comfortable all over.

There's nothing more satisfying than your husband's sister acknowledging you as his wife.

Moreover, Akiko already had an overflowing maternal instinct, and now it's like she has an adorable daughter, so she wants to dote on Ameyu Hikaru with all her might.
