They all have hidden attributes!

Seeing that Nekoya Hina's expression was a little unnatural, Hanakawa Kaori put her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and gave a sweet smile: "I still need to find out what the adults like."

"You haven't given up yet?" Makoto Takahashi interjected.

"I've tried coffee and black tea, but they're not for me. Next, I'd like to try alcoholic beverages." Hanakawa Kaori nodded emphatically.

"No, you're not old enough to drink alcohol." Nekoya Hina's voice suddenly turned serious.

"Is Haruna-nee hiding a lot of beer in the dorm?"

"It will have to wait until you enroll next year at the earliest."

Nekoya Hina immediately changed her tune, while Hanakawa Kaori narrowed her eyes slightly and asked with a dangerous smile, "Is that so?"

Seeing Hanakawa Kaori's smile, Takahashi Makoto suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, as if he were facing Tachimi Yuki.

No way?

Haruna, it seems you've bitten off more than you can chew.

He swallowed hard, just as he was about to change the subject, when Hanakawa Kaori had already made a move on Nekoya Hina: "Speaking of which, you don't know yet, do you, brother? If Hina-nee fails her makeup exam, she'll have to repeat the year next year."

In Japan, college upgrades have attendance and academic requirements, which is why Supervisor Chihaya emphasizes the importance of the opening exam.

"Yangcai?"

Makoto Takahashi looked at Hina Nekoya with a helpless expression. She looked away, her eyes darting around, and stammered, "This time it'll definitely be fine."

"Yin Cai-nee, don't get in the way."

Hanakawa Kaori said meaningfully, then immediately smiled at Takahashi Makoto: "Brother, how about we tutor Hina-nee together this afternoon? It just so happens that I want to go to a love hotel."

"Love hotel?" Makoto Takahashi felt like she was being screwed on the head with pliers.

"Yeah, its name is Trick. The girls in my class have mentioned it a lot in their chats. I've never been there before, but I feel more at ease going with my brother."

Hanakawa Kaori's suggestion left him with no way to refuse. Although it was strange for the three of them to go to math tutoring, it was safer than letting her run around alone.

Later, I'll ask Tatsumi Yuki what strange things Hanakawa Hanaori taught her.

"Okay, let's go eat barbecue first, and then we'll go together this afternoon."

Seeing that Takahashi Makoto had agreed, Hanakawa Kaori hugged him tightly and rubbed her head against his chest through his clothes: "I love you the most, brother."

From an angle that Takahashi Makoto couldn't see, she gave the dejected Nekoya Hina a sly smile: "Hina-nee, I'll tutor you properly. There just happens to be a bookstore nearby that sells practice books."

Hina Nekoya looked despairing.

After having lunch at a barbecue restaurant, the three of them first went to a bookstore to buy a book of exercises, and then went to a pachinko parlor to buy beer. The love hotel that Hanakawa Kaori mentioned was also nearby.

At the entrance, marked by a pink sign, the fees for rest and accommodation are clearly displayed.

Once inside, a sense of antiquity permeated the air. After paying the fee, Takahashi Makoto took the key and headed towards the stairs.

"Has my brother been here before?" Hanakawa Kaori looked around curiously.

"No."

Being called "older brother" in this environment made Makoto Takahashi feel inexplicably immoral, so he naturally changed the subject: "Why insist on adult tastes?"

"I only want to tell my brother." Hanakawa Kaori glanced at Nekoya Hina casually.

After opening the two doors and entering the room, Makoto Takahashi placed the study guides, snacks, and beer he had bought on the sofa. Looking around, he felt that the love hotel had a more vintage feel compared to the hotels he had stayed in before, but otherwise there was nothing special about it.

If you're not concerned about saving money and want a romantic atmosphere, like a love-themed double bed, then a themed room in a luxury hotel is definitely a better choice.

"It seems pretty ordinary."

Hanakawa Kaori looked around, pulled the tab on a can of beer, took a small sip, and immediately frowned with a distorted expression: "This tastes awful, ugh."

"If it's not suitable, don't drink it." Makoto Takahashi took the can of beer.

"Brother, can you drink it for me?"

Upon hearing this, Nekoya Hina realized what was happening, snatched the beer from Takahashi Makoto's hand with a face full of shame and indignation, and shouted at Hanakawa Kaori:

"No, this is an indirect kiss!"

"You can't drink this, Haruna-nee, I still need to tutor you."

Hanakawa Kaori exuded a chilling aura of terror, causing Nekoya Hina to instinctively take two steps back and swallow hard.

"Give it to me, Hina."

Makoto Takahashi took back his beer, swallowed a sip, and said to the two of them in a gentle tone, "You two can start your tutoring now."

"Come on, Haruna-nee, when you expanded the formula last time, you got the final coefficient wrong, right? As long as you practice more, there won't be any problems."

Seeing Hanakawa Kaori's devilish smile, Takahashi Makoto decided to have a good talk with Tachimi Yuki tonight.

The tutoring session continued until evening.

When the three of them left the love hotel, Nekoya Hina, who had spent the whole afternoon working on math problems, felt dizzy and weak.

Not only did she fail to gather any information, but she was also lectured by Hanakawa Kaori. Thinking about this, Nekoya Hina felt that she would never be able to hold her head up in Tsurumi Sawa again.

"Yinna-nee, if you repeat a year, you'll be my classmate next year, okay?" Hanakawa Kaori raised her hand to cover her pink lips, a wicked smile curving her lips.

The orange-red afterglow of the setting sun bathed the streets, and her petite figure cast a long shadow, giving her a mischievous air.

Takahashi Makoto lightly tapped Hanakawa Kaori's head with a chopstick, then leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Don't bully Hina too much."

"Oh, I see." Hanakawa Kaori pouted unhappily, turned her face to the side, and looked a little resentful.

"I also have plans with Sachi tonight. Are you going back to the academy or to my apartment?" Takahashi Makoto asked, patting her head.

"I'm going to go find Uesugi-nee for a free meal."

Hanakawa Kaori instantly perked up, her purple eyes shining brightly, and dragged the completely listless Nekoya Hina towards the taxi stand: "Don't worry, brother, Uesugi-nee and I will definitely not let Hina-nee repeat a year."

Watching them get into the taxi and leave, Takahashi Makoto rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Chapter 135 Overt and covert fighting

pat-

Slender, fair fingers picked up a black chess piece and gently placed it on the chessboard. The sapphire embedded on the top of the piece was bathed in bright light.

In the quiet Japanese-style room, Tachibana Yuki was playing Go with his mother. The cool evening breeze blew in from the window, carrying the fragrance of various flowers from the garden.

“Xiaoxing, your father and I are very happy that you have found someone you like. Xiaocheng is also an upright person.”

Kotoha looked at the chessboard with a troubled expression, and slowly said, "It's not that I'm worried about Makoto plotting to steal the family fortune, it's just that with his personality, what if something terrible happens—"

"Will not."

Li Jianxing picked up the black tea, brought it to her lips, and took a small sip: "Makoto-kun actually has a ruthless side, he's definitely not kind, and I also want to find him something to do."

She still remembers when she was looking at the Medici paintings at the art museum, Makoto Takahashi uttered cruel words in a calm tone.

"Oh dear, are you jealous of Sayo?" Tatsumi Kotoha moved a chess piece and asked in a tone of watching a spectacle.

"Although I don't want to admit it, there is one thing."

"It's good to find something to do, but we still need to be careful about the Tachimi family. People who have split up the family are not easy to deal with."

"Mother, he will find a way."

Tachikami emphasized, and without hesitation devoured the [Queen] opposite him: "He's even confident he can snatch a Nobel Prize in Literature for Sayo."

As she spoke, a hint of jealousy crept into her sweet voice.

Looking at her childish daughter, Tatsumi Kotoha chuckled and said, "You're really something. In that case, why don't you just get married soon? How many children do you plan to have?"

"It's a difficult situation."

"You've finally been able to show the same expressions as people your age lately, Xiaoxing."

"I do get very angry sometimes."

As the two were talking, a gentle woman in a kimono walked to the door: "Master, young lady, young master Takahashi has arrived."

"Within 10 moves," said Tachimi Yuki.

"Honestly, Mother has no authority at all."

Kotoha put down the chess piece she had just picked up and nodded, saying, "Since Makoto wants to help you share the burden, then relax a bit."

"No, Mother, come here."

Li Jianxing slowly stood up and walked towards the door: "You are not allowed to have any physical contact with Cheng-kun."

"Do you have to be jealous of your mother too?" Tatsumi Kotoyo asked with a teasing smile.

"As for the family division, Chengjun will definitely be fine."

Tatsumi Yuki emphasized this point, then left the Japanese-style room, walked through the winding corridor, and slowly made his way to the archery dojo.

When I entered, Makoto Takahashi was shooting an arrow; the muscles in his arm, which was sticking out of his sleeve, were taut, almost breaking the bamboo bow.

With a "snap," the arrow left the bowstring, creating a gentle breeze, and struck the bullseye.

The boy in the sunset was tall and straight, with an impeccable appearance, outstanding talent, and a caring personality, but unfortunately, he was too much of a womanizer.

Besides the family, the academy also needs to find something to keep him occupied.

After a moment's thought, Tachikami Yuki stepped forward and said, "Makoto-kun, Mother has already made arrangements."

"What exactly do you want me to do?"

Makoto Takahashi put down the bamboo bow in his hand and looked back. Yuki Tachibana was wearing a white and gold short-sleeved kimono today, which retained a sense of purity while outlining a beautiful and ideal figure.

"Can I stay at Lijian's house after school for a while?"

When Tachikami Yuki remembered that her mother had just mentioned the topic of "children," her sweet voice became inexplicably hoarse: "Mother will call the people who are going to separate from the family to introduce you to them. Please stay here for now."

"I'm fine, let's go eat."

Makoto Takahashi nodded, put his arm around her waist, and walked out of the archery dojo: "I ran into Hanori at noon today. Has she been clinging to you lately?"

Why ask that?

"Your smile looks a lot like yours."

Makoto Takahashi was certain of this; that dangerous smile was completely different from Maya Uesugi's cold, fake smile.

Tachikami frowned unhappily, her eyes reproachful as she asked, "Makoto-kun, are you trying to say I've corrupted her?"
