They all have hidden attributes!

It's not surprising that Shiraishi Junka and Kashima Reiko play mahjong, given that Japan has a tradition of "Mahjong Gold Offering".

"Brother, you don't know how? I'll teach you."

Seeing that Takahashi Makoto didn't know how to play mahjong, Hanakawa Kaori gave him a mischievous smile and whispered in his ear, "I'm self-taught!"

Seeing the distance between the two shrink drastically, Uesugi Maya expressionlessly reached out, grabbed Hanakawa Kaori by the back of the neck, and pulled her aside.

"I'll teach you."

Maya Uesugi stepped forward and stood next to Makoto Takahashi, stating succinctly: "ABC*n+AAA*m+AA, do you understand?"

"Maya-nee, no one can understand you like this." Hanakawa Kaori pouted unhappily and looked at her with a reproachful look.

"Easy to understand." Takahashi Makoto nodded.

"what?"

Nekoya Hina's eyes widened in shock: "Were you talking about mahjong? You must have made a mistake."

"The most basic way to win is to break the terminal and honor tiles..." Kashima Reiko continued the conversation, reciting the rules accurately.

After she finished speaking, Makoto Takahashi wrote it all down, but Hina Nekoya's eyes darted around.

"I can't do it anymore, Hanaori, you come and play." She stood up, rubbing her forehead with a headache.

It wasn't this difficult before, was it?

After giving her spot to Hanakawa Kaori, Nekoya Hina shook her head, shaking off all the mahjong knowledge she had just absorbed, and stood on the other side of Takahashi Makoto.

"Acheng, come to my house tonight."

She habitually put her elbow on Makoto Takahashi's shoulder and extended an invitation with a cheerful laugh: "Actually, we cleaned it before going to Yamanashi. Come celebrate the housewarming tonight."

In the classroom, it was common for Makoto Takahashi to sit in his seat while Haruna Nekoya stood beside him; both of them were used to this arrangement.

But to Maya Uesugi and Junka Shiraishi, such physical contact was rather jarring.

The air suddenly became heavy, and a faint sense of oppression descended. Nekoya Hina felt the watchful gaze from behind and was caught in a dilemma.

She often lacks her own opinions and now feels caught in a dilemma.

Seeing that Nekoya Hina's expression was not good, Hanakawa Kaori smiled brightly and said, "It's our family, big brother."

"How about I buy a cake tonight?" Takahashi Makoto agreed without much thought.

"Okay, let's buy some more snacks."

Hanakawa Kaori nodded vigorously, clasped her hands together, and said a somewhat willful excuse: "Because my house is relatively small, I can only invite my brother and Reiko-nee this time. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Tsk." Uesugi Maya's face darkened.

Shiraishi Junka remained silent, secretly stepped off her slippers, stretched out her long legs under the table, and used her bare feet to step on Takahashi Makoto's thigh directly opposite her.

"So small?" Takahashi Makoto's eyes showed a hint of worry.

"No, it's not that. The main reason is that I bought a new set of purple lingerie, it's so cute."

Hanakawa Kaori looked up at him, a mischievous smile on her lips, her voice tinged with a hint of coquetry: "Besides, Hina-nee wasn't completely oblivious to everything while she was in Yamanashi."

Makoto Takahashi looked up at Hina Nekoya, whose guilty gaze darted away, making her look a little silly.

"Ah, this—"

Nekoya Hina said in a suspicious voice, without much confidence, "Actually, I haven't thought about it yet. I'm a little troubled."

Compared to her troubles, Maya Uesugi was more concerned about Makoto Takahashi's troubles.

Upon catching a glimpse of the restless bare feet beneath the card table, a shadow instantly fell over her delicate face, and her eyes turned terrifying.

"Get out of the way," Uesugi Maya commanded coldly.

"Where to?" Takahashi Makoto asked innocently.

"I need to go find Lijian and get things cleared up. I have a Latin dance class this afternoon, and I need to get the results as soon as possible."

Maya Uesugi exuded a powerful aura of pressure, leaving Makoto Takahashi no choice but to yield and give her his seat: "Alright, I'll go arrange lunch."

After Makoto Takahashi left, the tense atmosphere among the girls eased slightly, making it a good time to talk about some private topics.

"Perfect figure, looks good in any underwear." Uesugi Maya studied the cards she received and spoke meaningfully.

Hanakawa Kaori stared at her defiantly, straightening her posture and trying to straighten her back: "According to Maya-nee, plastic mannequins in lingerie stores must sell very well, right?"

“Sophistry,” said Maya Uesugi.

"Cheng likes big things."

Shiraishi Junka's voice was weak, but she was not afraid of the topic: "And softness, it can easily change shape with just a touch."

"..." Hanakawa Kaori turned her gaze to her, her expression gradually turning grim.

The difference in talent between the two is an insurmountable chasm that no amount of effort can bridge.

"Makoto is not picky about colors, probably because he doesn't want to force the person he likes to have his own favorite colors on him."

Kashima Reiko didn't seem to care about the faint smell of gunpowder in the air, or perhaps she was already used to it; she was simply sharing her experience selflessly.

"But based on my observations, he prefers lace lingerie and stockings, or styles with cutouts."

"...You guys." Hanakawa Kaori was defeated and speechless.

"What are you talking about? This isn't a proper lingerie topic, is it?"

The four sat around the card table, with only Hina Nekoya standing to the side, looking out of place.

"It's so embarrassing to talk about this, and besides..."

Seeing Hina Nekoya's blushing face, even Maya Uesugi, who was usually the least empathetic, chose to be understanding and focused on playing cards.

Chapter 191 Hina Nekoya's Considerations

While the girls were discussing lingerie styles that would enhance their personal charm, Makoto Takahashi walked through the corridor in a good mood and arrived at a Japanese-style room used for receiving guests.

On the way here, he had already ordered his servants to deliver the ingredients for lunch to the villa's kitchen, thinking that he would cook tacos, slow-cooked beef, and boso lasagna with Uesugi Maya at noon.

Upon opening the door, six girls dressed in traditional Japanese style sat gracefully on cushions across a tea table, including Tachibana Yuki.

Besides tea, pastries, and flower arranging utensils, the tea table also contains a variety of other miscellaneous items, including shoujo manga, tequila, and handheld game consoles.

Upon hearing the door open, the girls immediately straightened their backs, adopted serious expressions, and hid items that were inappropriate for their young lady status under the table.

"Makoto, you seem to have frightened them." Tachimi Yuki waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be nervous.

Makoto Takahashi immediately closed the door and said with a gentle smile, "I'm sorry, it seems like everyone has a tough time."

Although the young ladies are not short of money, they also have their own troubles. They have to maintain a respectable image in public, and their hobbies can only be kept in private.

The most difficult thing is to see someone get lucky immediately.

On a peaceful night afterward, Makoto Takahashi once heard her say that after her father's death, Kotoha Tatsumi was not allowed to shed a single tear, for fear that outsiders would think that the heir of the Tatsumi family was weak.

"You've come at the right time; they're all very interested in you."

Tachikami Yuki patted the tatami mat beside her, smiled, and stretched out her hands, her slender arms seeking his body.

This was undoubtedly a fake smile; she would rather not appear in front of these young ladies, lest she be tempted to have philandering thoughts.

Makoto Takahashi knew exactly how jealous his girlfriend was, so finding an excuse to back out was the best option.

However, he still sat upright beside Tachibana Yuki, and took the initiative to pull her slender body into his arms, his gaze sweeping over the others.

"Nice to meet you, Makoto Takahashi, Sachi's boyfriend," Makoto Takahashi introduced himself in a calm and unhurried manner.

The girl in his arms looked up and gave him a reproachful look, but then habitually took control of the situation, guiding the conversation and atmosphere:

"This is Fujiwara, Fujiwara Ai."

"Just call me Xiao Ai." The girl holding the wine glass had her eyes shining and waved her other hand, greeting him familiarly.

“Ms. Fujiwara.” Makoto Takahashi nodded politely.

"I am Ichinose, Ichinose Yui."

The girl sitting opposite Tachimi Yuki eagerly reached out her hand. Tachimi Yuki looked up and saw her reluctantly withdraw her hand, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.

Makoto Takahashi maintained his polite demeanor.

"It's just that you're too impatient and easily make things go wrong, which is why Aunt Ichinose planned your marriage so early."

Tachibana Yuki was clearly in a leadership position among the group of girls, which didn't surprise Takahashi Makoto at all. Given his girlfriend's personality, she would take the lead in any circle she entered.

After introducing everyone present, Li Jianxing, as if asserting her dominance, leaned her soft body closer, allowing their body temperatures to mingle.

"Makoto, is there something you need that you suddenly came over?" she asked in a coquettish voice, clearly pleased with Makoto's distant attitude towards them.

"I missed you a little." Makoto Takahashi gently reached out and hugged Yuki Tachimi.

In any case, I can't let the girl lose face, so of course I won't talk about living together now.

"I don't believe it, about Xiaoye?"

When Tachikawa looked up and saw his unnatural expression, she poked his side with her finger and said with a light laugh, "Just pretend they don't exist, there's no need to pay attention to them."

The five young ladies went about their business in perfect unison. Fujiwara downed her drink in one gulp and pretended to fall asleep, while Ichinose, sitting opposite her, covered her ears with both hands.

"Hina and Hanaori invited me and Reiko to their house for dinner tonight," Makoto Takahashi leaned down and whispered in Yuki Tachimi's ear.

This kind of thing doesn't normally require an application, but seeing their demeanor, Makoto Takahashi was somewhat overwhelmed by the atmosphere, feeling that his girlfriend was exceptionally authoritative.

"Hmm~ Is there anything else?" Tachimi Yuki nodded.

Makoto Takahashi swallowed hard, then lowered his voice and said, "Yo also wants to move with us. I mean, the three of us..."

“No problem,” Tachimi Yuki readily agreed.

Fortunately, I—

Makoto Takahashi was momentarily stunned before realizing that she hadn't refused, and his gaze towards Yuki Tachimi was gradually overwhelmed with love.

Could she really be an angel?

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow. They'll feel uncomfortable if you stay here."

Tachikawa patted him on the shoulder to reassure him, giving him a look that said, "[We'll talk about it tomorrow.]"

Judging from her expression, she did indeed agree to the three of them living together.
