I have bound two systems.

The current painting progress at hand was completed, and looking at the unfinished picture on the computer screen, Sawamura Eriri breathed a sigh of relief.

Having already been drawing for more than two hours without interruption, she leaned back in her chair, took off her glasses, and planned to reward herself for her hard work with a ten-minute break.

She picked up a small piece of puff on the table and put it in her mouth, then stood up from the table, stood in the middle of the room and stretched her body which was a little stiff from sitting for a long time.

At this moment, her cell phone on the table vibrated.

Could it be that the call came from thousands of miles away?

Eriri picked up the phone with joy, but was greatly disappointed. The caller's name on the screen was Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"what's up."

Eriri Sawamura's tone when she answered the phone was not very good, and one could even tell that she was obviously a little impatient.

This is no wonder, after all, she is in a state of mental imbalance.

The family rules of Kasumigaoka Utaha are very loose, so loose that it doesn’t matter if the guy doesn’t come home for several nights. He just needs to give a proper reason to his family.

In comparison, Eriri was completely different. She was hounded by her parents for a long time and asked them the reason for leaving school early. Fortunately, she managed to fool them, otherwise, who knows how long she would have been scolded.

If mom and dad knew that their daughter could no longer be called a girl at this moment...

The consequences would certainly be serious and unpredictable.

"Can you speak a little better?"

On the other end of the phone, Kasumigaoka Utaha was silent for a long time before giving a response.

Eriri chuckled, took another puff and ate it while continuing to talk nonchalantly,

"Anyway, you called me at this time just to show off the time you will spend alone with Qianli, as a reward for my previous behavior."

Faced with such speculation, Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath.

“I did have this thought at first.”

The other person's tone and the unnaturally soft voice finally made Ying Lili feel a little unnatural. This was not the woman's style.

"What happened?"

"Remember the girl named Touma Kazusa that we saw when we first followed Chisato? Chisato was dating her."

"..."

Ying Lili's eyes slowly widened, and she became a little dazed for a moment, then slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was hiding in the bathroom and finally secretly called to tell Eriri the fact, felt inexplicably happy at this moment.

It felt like she was carrying something heavy on her shoulders, and now she was suddenly able to share the burden with someone else, and she instantly felt a little lighter.

Only at this time could the two of them put aside their past disputes, form a united front, and work together.

Ying Lili held the phone in her hand. Although this incident happened a little suddenly, it was not without warning. She quickly forced herself to calm down.

"How do you know this?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha answered quickly,

"He told me this just now when Qianli came back."

"What exactly did he say?"

"There's nothing special about it. He simply told me the fact. Then I asked him to eat first and we can talk later if he has anything to say."

"Then you now..."

"I'm talking to you from the bathroom now. We'd better hurry. I don't want Qianli to mistakenly think that I have intestinal problems."

"Phew - there's some trouble."

"If it's not too much trouble, I can solve it myself. There's no need to call you to discuss it."

Eriri and Kasumigaoka had very similar mentalities. They both seemed a little overwhelmed when they heard the news, but incredibly, they quickly calmed down.

It’s not that I’m that uneasy or anxious.

Perhaps it was because of the mentality generated by the experience of being a married woman in the dream that they knew the seriousness of the situation, but they were also able to analyze the current situation quite calmly.

Ying Lili stood up and took the juice on the table and drank it all. The sugar can make her brain more active.

"There is one thing I want to know, about Qianli's expression and attitude when she said these words to you."

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned in confusion.

"Why are you asking this? Is it important? Isn't the most important thing for us to focus on right now the girl named Touma Kazusa?"

"That's true, but before that, we must at least know clearly Qianli's attitude towards us."

"……What's the meaning?"

Seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha still didn't understand, Eriri sighed and simply made things clear.

"A man told his lover that he liked another woman. What do you think he was thinking when he said this?"

"…end the current relationship and start a new one, or…"

Kasumigaoka Utaha murmured to this conclusion, and then placed her fingers on the ventilated window sill of the bathroom, digging into the edge with her fingers, her knuckles turning slightly white from using too much force.

"Tell the truth honestly, find a way to make your lover accept it, and in the end... you get both."

"It's great that you understand. I wasn't there, so you have to make the judgment. Of the two mindsets above, which one do you think Qianli is closer to?"

Eriri held her breath unconsciously, as Kasumigaoka's next answer was particularly important.

Kasumigaoka quietly recalled the expression and attitude of Suzumiya Chisato when she said those words to him just now, and finally kicked the wall in hatred and cursed in a low voice,

"That philandering bastard!"

Okay, just based on this light scolding, which was neither harmful nor itchy, Ying Lili realized that the situation was obviously the latter.

This was within her expectations. After all, she didn't think that she would be abandoned by Chisato Suzumiya. This confidence came quite naturally and firmly.

"Now that we understand Qianli's inner thoughts and know what he expects, the next thing will be very simple."

Listening to Eriri's words, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt unbelievable.

"Are you really going to compromise on this matter?"

"How can it be!"

Ying Lili denied it immediately.

"Once we let this go, who knows if it will end there. We absolutely cannot agree to this and need to show a strong attitude of absolute resistance."

"This coping strategy is not like your style."

Kasumigaoka Utaha joked with a smile.

Eriri asked back,

"How did you expect me to react?"

"Shouldn't you continue to say righteously that I believe Qianli is not that kind of person, while continuing to stand by his side infatuatedly and recklessly, sharing his worries and trying to convince me?"

Ying Lili was silent for a while.

"Some of my previous comments were appropriately considerate, but that doesn't mean I'm a brainless naive person."

Kasumigaoka chuckled. It was the right decision to call Eriri.

"Okay, that's it, I have to go back to the living room."

"Wait, do you really understand what I mean?"

"I see. We need to show some resistance, don't we? That was my original idea."

"Well, there is another very important point. We don't have to worry so much. After all, the things that are troubling and difficult to accept for us now are probably exactly the same for that girl named Touma Kazusa."

"what do you mean……"

"Do you think Chisato will confess the existence of Touma and Sa to you first, or will he confess the existence of both of us to Touma and Sa first?"

"..."

The two girls who were talking on the phone in the middle of the night, at this moment, raised their lips slightly with tacit understanding.

Yes, even if Qianli has such an idea, it doesn’t mean that the girl can accept it.

It is better to say that in today's society, few normal women can accept the existence of polygamy.

Kasumigaoka and Eriri are exceptions. After experiencing a dream that felt like real life, they have long regarded each other as family. Such a relationship can no longer be simply described as love.

And that girl, who had no such experience, how could she compare with them? And how could she accept three women sharing one man?

"We had an unshakable advantage from the beginning because there were two of us, you know."

"I know it without you having to tell me."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

"kindness."

When Kasumigaoka Utaha walked out of the bathroom, although he couldn't notice anything specific from her expression or posture, Suzumiya Chisato felt that something was different about her.

Her smile returned to being elegant, and her demeanor was as relaxed as it was during the day.

“They ate it all.”

Kasumigaoka looked at the almost empty plate on the dining table, and the joy on her face did not seem fake.

She leaned over to Chisato Suzumiya's face and gently bit his ear to show her intimacy.

"Go brush your teeth first, then wait for me in the living room. I found a movie with good ratings, and we can go and rest together after watching it."

After she said this, she quickly cleared the plates, wiped the table, and went to the kitchen sink to wash the dishes.

The other party's series of actions, which seemed like a matter of course, made Suzumiya Chisato feel uneasy.

You have to know that he had just confessed to her the matter between Touma and Sa. No matter from which angle you consider it, she shouldn't be so indifferent.

The reaction of no noise, no fuss, no questioning, was as if nothing had ever happened. The mental preparation that Chisato Suzumiya had been building up for half a day was like a punch hitting a cotton ball, without the slightest response.

This felt quite uncomfortable and disturbing, and it was not the result he wanted.

"Shiyu."

Chisato Suzumiya did not wait in the living room as she had just instructed, but came to the kitchen together, helped wipe the dishes she had washed and put them in the cupboard, and at the same time created an opportunity for the two of them to continue chatting.

"I'd like to hear your thoughts on what I just said."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed and stopped washing the dishes.

"I deliberately didn't want to mention this matter. I just wanted us to have a peaceful and pleasant night. I think you should have noticed that I have such thoughts."

"It's because I noticed it that I felt I couldn't go on like this. There's no point in dragging this matter on."

Kasumigaoka Utaha gritted her teeth, laughed in anger, and became emotional.

"Suzumiya Chisato, you really have me in your hands. You think I can't live without you, so you say such things so unscrupulously."

Suzumiya Chisato shook her head.

"On the contrary, it's not like that. I feel that Shiyu is the most important person to me, so I feel that these things cannot be hidden from you. It is also after weighing the pros and cons that I choose to be the first to confess to you."

Girls all like to hear nice words, especially Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Even though she knew the real intention behind such nice words was simply to make her happy, she couldn't control the joy that rose in her heart.

"Even if you say that, I can't accept it."

Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head and started washing the dishes again.

"It's not just me. Eriri must be the same. Even if you confess to me, the result will still be the same. Nothing will change. I can't accept the existence of any other girl around you except Eriri."

Just as she said in the phone call just now, Kasumigaoka Utaha showed her determination clearly, and there is absolutely no way out.

This reaction was similar to what Suzumiya Chisato had thought. If Kasumigaoka Utaha expressed acceptance calmly, contrary to her usual attitude, it would make him very uneasy.

At least it can't be said that I gained nothing. Now that everything has been said, I can let go of some of the guilt in my heart.

Then let go of the remaining part.

"I understand what Shiyu is thinking. I haven't finished what I was saying just now. There is one more thing I need to let you know."

"what?"

"It's about another girl."
