Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"Hey, don't change the subject. You guys were just talking about the wedding, right? Why don't we join in? It'll be easier if everyone gets married together, won't it?"

Lan Yi frowned. She hadn't intended to respond to Hikawa Makoto's absurd proposal, but seeing that she was still persisting, she looked displeased and wanted to tell her to stop talking nonsense.

"What are you saying, you brainless person..."

"What? Is there a problem with what I said? Didn't you just say that because Ming is not old enough to apply for citizenship, it's just a formality for the wedding?"

"..."

She intended to turn the formal wedding into a farce, an informal cosplay show.

This woman came prepared; she didn't just come to cause trouble.

Lan Yi had to be serious and solemnly refused.

"Even so, this is a matter between me and Kuroba-kun, and it has nothing to do with you."

"How can it not be related? Ming and we are all engaged, and we are all Ming's potential marriage partners. So since it is Ming's wedding, we naturally have the right to express our opinions."

Even Hitomi Anri and Shion Murasaki have tacitly agreed to this, so how dare you, a nobody, raise any objections?

"If you want to have a wedding with him, then you can have it done later. Why deliberately interfere when I'm about to have my wedding with him? You're just here to cause trouble, aren't you?"

However, Makoto had already achieved her goal by the time Lan Yi responded to her.

"Oh? Really? Okay then, we can line up before you, right?"

"Huh?!"

That's impossible!

Makoto's amused smile infuriated Lan Yi.

You shouldn't have bothered with her in the first place!

It's stuck to me like glue! It's just here to disgust me!

If Kuroba Akira had a wedding with someone else first, wouldn't the woman who marries him later be a clown?

Ultimately, only the first place matters and can earn official recognition.

Makoto Hikawa couldn't be so stupid as to not know this, so she's just here to cause trouble.

What Tsukimi Ryoui didn't know was that Hikawa Makoto was the woman who managed to steal a large chunk of territory from the gap between Anri Hitomi and Murasomiya Shion.

If it weren't for her intrusion, the wound wouldn't have split so wide.

It was precisely because of the precedent set by Makoto Hikawa that the girls who might have given up in despair mustered their courage and filed in one after another through the expanding crack.

She can be considered a pioneer of third-party intervention.

Anyone who attempts to monopolize the market is her target.

Lan Yi realized that there was no point in continuing to argue with her, so she ignored her for the second time.

But this means that Lan Yi is speechless, giving Makoto the opportunity to continue performing.

Having seized the initiative, Makoto skillfully moved closer, grabbed Kuroba Akira's arm, and began to coax him in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Hey Ming, you must also think it's more fun to get married with everyone, right? Don't you want to see everyone in their wedding dresses? My sister can design some sexy wedding dresses for everyone, just for you to see!"

"elder sister……!"

Zhencheng rolled her eyes on the spot. That damn older sister had sold her younger sister off so easily again!

Sister, do you know how complicated it is to make wedding dresses? Kuroba-kun has so many women. If we make wedding dresses for each of them and the designs can't be the same, the weddings might not happen until this time next year!

But Makoto didn't care about any of that; she just kept throwing out offers to tempt Kuroba Akira.

"Furthermore, Zhencheng and I have already discussed it and decided to open a private cosplay café at Ming's house. It's a place for everyone to relax and have fun together. You see, you also need a place to take a break, right? And the same goes for everyone in the club. You can have a cup of coffee or something at our place, and then play a game of board games together. That would also count as a club activity, right?"

Makoto's words were also very clever; she even used the club's name, which made it seem like it wasn't entirely for personal gain, but rather for everyone's sake.

"This...sounds pretty good..."

Akira Kuroba was genuinely tempted.

His current form of rest is sleeping. Although he gets enough sleep, he finds it difficult to completely eliminate mental fatigue, which is actually a sign of poor concentration.

Ultimately, human concentration has its limits. After intense work, it's necessary to shift focus and relax, which is why schools set up break times between classes.

For example, Akira Kuroba would do something else after drawing storyboards for a while. This is actually a way to replenish concentration by switching between different tasks.

But switching from one job to another is still working; it's just reducing losses and increasing efficiency, not a true recovery.

If you're just looking at the cosplayers to feast your eyes on, eating the little cakes they feed you and the coffee they recommend, and then flirting, playing games, and flirting with them, it's bound to be pleasant and enjoyable, and your SAN value will recover in large quantities.

"I knew you'd agree!"

Makoto hugged Kuroba Akira's neck and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"How about I stay here for a while? You see, I still need to design the layout of the coffee shop..."

Makoto personally demonstrated what it means to push your luck and secretly start creating more opportunities for herself.

Lan Yi was numb from watching. If she spoke, the woman would bite her and not let go; if she didn't speak, the woman would relentlessly attack her. What kind of mad dog was this woman?

No! We can't just stand by and do nothing any longer!

"you……!"

Just as Lan Yi was about to stop Makoto, someone pressed down on her shoulder and said something.

"I advise you to give up. I've been burned by her before. Once Makoto sets her sights on you, don't even think about getting away unscathed."

"Ok?"

The person who came to comfort her was actually Ziyin.

Then Tong, who had just entered the house, also spoke.

"Indeed, if you keep getting entangled with Makoto, you'll only end up exhausted, both physically and mentally."

After all, Makoto is a perverted, niche woman who watches Anri Hitomi's every move and tries to get on her bed.

"The idea of ​​a café is good, but staying overnight is against the rules, Makoto-chan."

The last one to give the warning was Qingxia, who walked in with Tong.

"Tch... The disciplinary committee arrived so quickly? I suspect you guys planted a listening device in Ming's room, otherwise how could you have gotten here so fast?"

Makoto squinted, looking suspiciously at the three people who had suddenly appeared.

She and Makoto came to launch a surprise attack without even notifying Kuroba Akira. How did they know?

Makoto originally wanted to get more benefits from Kuroba Akira, such as having her and Makoto serve as his personal maids after the coffee shop opened, or even as his home maids outside the coffee shop.

And any clothing and services are first tried on by the three of them on Kuroba Akira, so that the three of them can have a good time together before they are made available to others.

In this way, Makoto can act as a supervisor, making her younger sister make two new cosplay outfits every few days, and then take the clothes to Akira Kuroba under the guise of trying them on to have fun with him.

As a result, she was caught red-handed before she could even get the 'right to stick it anywhere' and the 'right to enjoy it first', which made her wonder if Kuroba Akira's house had been completely monitored by these three women.

"There's absolutely no need to do such a thing. The wise ruler wouldn't hide anything from us. As for why he arrived in time... well, there's definitely a reason. Guess who the informant is?"

Makoto immediately understood, turned around and glared at her sister, shouting fiercely.

"You stupid sister! You betrayed me!"

The older sister was still thinking about how to get more benefits and share them with her younger sister, but this younger sister actually stabbed her in the back!

Zhencheng didn't look away, but spoke seriously.

"It's just that it's hard for me to stop you on my own. If I let you do whatever you want, you and Tsukimi will definitely have a conflict."

Moreover, if you go too far, you will be held accountable afterward, and you may even face a united boycott from others.

Even if Kuroba-kun is persuaded, others will still have objections, and disharmony will make her sister an enemy of the harem.

If I end up having to clean up my sister's mess and plead for her later, it would be better to just let her quit while she was ahead from the start.

But once the older sister gets carried away, she won't listen to anything, let alone what her younger sister says. Only the three leaders can subdue her.

Lan Yi looked at Zhen Cheng with some surprise. She hadn't expected that it was Zhen Cheng who had tipped her off, and in the end, she had indeed helped her solve her problem.

Is this... a feud between the sisters? Or is she trying to do me a favor?

It doesn't seem like either of those... So why is she standing neutral?

Tong smiled and clapped her hands as she spoke.

"Anyway, a coffee shop is a great idea. I'll cover the renovation costs. I've made a small fortune, so I can afford it. But we all need to follow the rules. No one can use cosplay as an excuse to ask Mingjun for special services outside the coffee shop, okay?"

"Tsk..."

"But since the clothes are all handmade by Zhencheng, we do need to give her a fee for her hard work. So after the new clothes are finished, let's leave the fitting to you sisters. Of course, Mingjun will be the judge."

As for any additional improper transactions between the fitting staff and the reviewers during the fitting review process, we'll just turn a blind eye.

Hitomi saw through both of Makoto's desires, and she rejected one while agreeing to the other.

"Do you understand now, Makoto? You only got this benefit because of your sister, you know?"

"Okay, I understand..."

Having known Xiaotong for so long, she could naturally hear the warning in her words; it was essentially telling her not to go too far and to stop.

Having received the benefits, Makoto stopped causing trouble.

But this matter is not over yet.

The three of them came not just to arrest Makoto.

However, some things were not suitable to be said in front of Akira Kuroba, and a way to get rid of him had already been prepared.

"Mingjun, you must be very tired, so why don't you go and hold Mengmeng for a while? Mengmeng's little tummy feels so soft to rub, doesn't it?"

"Uh……"

Actually, Kuroba Akira wasn't very sleepy, but he could tell that the class monitor wanted him to leave temporarily, so he nodded in agreement.

"I understand, I'll go rest for a while too... But I'm very sensitive to noise, if it's too noisy I might not be able to sleep..."

The subtext is: Don't start arguing, or I'll be in a difficult position.

"Okay, don't worry, we won't disturb you."

"Well... I'll take my leave now."
