I have bound two systems.

Goto Ichiri's unexpected remarks and bold actions made it difficult for Sawamura Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, whose hands she held respectively, to accept the facts for a while.

The pupils that had been relatively calm before now could not stop shaking. They had lost something that was invisible and intangible, but the most important thing between the two sexes.

First come first served…in name only.

The definition of the original wife and the third party is actually very simple.

The couple who are together first are considered the original couple.

As time goes by, anyone who interferes between a couple who have not separated becomes a dishonorable third party.

Because Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri had experienced those two dream lives, with the blessing of such memories, they naturally put themselves into the role of the main wife, Mrs. Haruhiya, from the beginning, without thinking of any other possibilities.

And now they are paying the price for their careless misstep.

After Goto Ichiri informed them that she was the first to arrive, Kasumigaoka and Eriri lost the initiative in an instant, and any countermeasures they had originally thought of lost their meaning.

There are all kinds of people in society. Perhaps there are indeed third parties with corrupt morals who are caught by the original wife, but they still confidently put on their ugly faces of "I am the third party and I am proud of it."

But Kasumigaoka and Eriri are not like that. Not only that, they are essentially very kind and reasonable people.

Therefore, after hearing the other party's words, their identities and positions were instantly changed.

The two of them looked at Goto Ichiri, and they stammered for a long time but couldn't utter a single word.

It's no wonder they lost their sense of proportion, as they had not thought of this.

Faced with Goto Ichiri who was crying silently and seemed unwilling but helpless, Eriri finally responded.

She placed her right hand on the back of the other person's hand, then moved aside and pulled Goto Ichiri to sit beside her. Finally, she took out a tissue and wiped the tears from her cheeks.

This action was extremely gentle.

Well...if you don't look at her expression.

Ying Lili's expression was no longer as gentle as before, and now she looked a little serious, or rather, dissatisfied.

Her clever little brain had already gotten some kind of answer almost the moment Goto Ichiri finished his last sentence.

Considering the performance of Chisato Suzumiya, whose presence was very weak from beginning to end, she didn't think that the current situation had nothing to do with him.

In this case, it doesn't matter what Goto Ichiri says now.

What is important is the thoughts and stance of Qianli, the person behind her.

In this situation, it can even be said that the most important person is almost wholeheartedly standing on the opposite side of her and Kasumigaoka.

This is a bit difficult to deal with.

Eriri patted Goto Ichiri's back gently to comfort her, and after her emotions calmed down a little, she took the initiative to speak.

But it was not a response to her previous remarks, but a digression into another unrelated field.

"The soup in the kitchen should be ready soon. I'll go check it out."

Her words did not receive any response from anyone at first.

Goto Ichiri was still immersed in the role he played, full of sadness.

Chisato Suzumiya lowered her eyes to the floor, seeming to be in deep thought or feeling guilty.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha realized that this was a reminder from Eriri.

She took a deep breath and stood up.

"There's another dish that needs extra preparation. I'll go help."

The two of them didn't say anything extra and walked towards the kitchen one after another.

After they left, Suzumiya Chisato slowly raised her head, then stood up and sat next to Goto Ichiri. She put her hand on her head and gently stroked her hair, which seemed messy but was actually very soft.

"Sorry Chisato, I think I messed up."

Goto Ichiri saw the reactions of Eriri and Kasumigaoka, and no matter how one interpreted it, it was definitely not the attitude that should be displayed in terms of kindness and friendship.

"That's not the case. You did a good job. It's natural for them to react like that. If they can't calm down, you have to give them time to accept it."

Suzumiya Chisato's words were not a comfort. Eriri and Kasumigaoka's reactions were really within his expectations.

If they could still maintain that polite smile on their faces after hearing what Yili just said, it would make him worried.

As for now, it doesn’t matter. If he wants to convince them to accept other people, this is a necessary stage to go through. He has already been mentally prepared for this.

It is not so easy to have many kittens around you.

in the kitchen.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri stood together in front of the stove, both of them with their hands idle, staring at the soup simmering over a low fire.

They left together not to prepare food as they had just said, but to find an excuse to create a space where the two of them could talk and discuss alone.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Kasumigaoka Utaha opened the conversation. She sneered softly,

"It's really ironic that we are the despicable ones now, while the pink-haired one has become the one who looks down on us."

Sawamura Eriri sighed softly.

"That's not the important thing. Didn't you see that Qianli didn't have any special reaction to this from beginning to end?"

"What do you want to say?"

"What Goto Ichiri said was probably prompted by Chisato behind the scenes."

Kasumigaoka seemed a little surprised.

"Qianli... do you have any basis for this?"

"No, this is just my guess, but I am 90% sure that this guess is correct. Qianli is biased in private, so she instructed Goto Ichiri to say those words just now when she saw us. If she occupies the moral high ground, she will always be invincible."

In just a few words, Eriri gave a general idea of ​​Chisato Suzumiya's plan and ideas.

There were some more detailed aspects that she didn't mention. She felt that now that she had made things so clear, it would not be impossible for Kasumigaoka Utaha to not understand.

"You mean to say that Chisato prefers that guy Goto Ichiri?"

When Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke of this possibility, her teeth couldn't stop trembling.

"I didn't say that, and it's not important. After all, he brought that girl to see us. This behavior itself speaks volumes. If that girl wasn't that important to him, why would he have to do that?"

Ying Lili shook her head, sighed again, and expressed her thoughts.

"Qianli's main purpose is to take this opportunity to express his will to us. Just like the previous issue of renting a house, he deliberately wants to draw a line between us on the issue of rent. He does not want to receive our favor so that he can be independent and dominant.

What just happened was also conveying this message intentionally or unintentionally. He knew that we were extremely resistant and unwilling to accept Goto Ichiri, so he came up with such a way to ignore our wishes and forcefully keep her by his side, while at the same time conveying his will to us.

Even if we realize it later, the fact that it has been fabricated can shut us up and make us unable to say anything else. "

"This is... a naked conspiracy."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little annoyed and started biting her nails gently.

"That's right, but we reacted too slowly. It's too late to know now."

"So we're compromised?"

"Who said we compromised? I didn't agree with Goto Ichiri's statement at all. My thoughts have never changed. It's just you, me, and Qianli. There is no way a fourth guy can join in."

Eriri placed her hands on the stove top, her words couldn't be more firm.

Because of their fundamental incompatibility in personality, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri often quarrel and have small frictions.

But I have to say that at this moment when everyone is united against a common enemy, this blonde lady can really give people a sense of security and reliability.

It was during these days after Kasumigaoka failed to steal the kill last time and let Eriri get the first blood of Senri that he could gradually feel the growth of Eriri.

This sense of déjà vu is not experienced on the body, Eriri's breasts are still small and cute.

What is more surprising about Eriri is her way of thinking in dealing with people, especially her inner feelings. Her insight, decisiveness, and feminine power are all at an incredible level.

This reminded Kasumigaoka of her mother, Sayuri Sawamura.

The lady who looked about 60% similar to her, and although she was smiling most of the time, she always gave people a sense of unfathomableness.

In Kasumigaoka's mind, there was often a moment when the two of them overlapped and were difficult to distinguish. This kind of imaginary thought was inexplicable, but it did happen.

"Then next, shall we do as we said before and find an opportunity to avoid Qianli and talk to that girl in private?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha expressed her understanding and response measures.

She was actually right.

Since the impartial referee is no longer impartial, avoiding him in the duel is obviously a good idea.

But Ying Lili once again denied her idea.

"Don't be so hasty to make a decision. There is actually one thing I've always been concerned about. Did you notice Goto Ichiri's expression when he talked to me?"

"Demeanor?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha thought for a moment.

"She was so timid and her speech was a little halting. She looked like a timid and indecisive girl. Is that what you wanted to say?"

"That was just the way she spoke at the beginning. Later on, didn't you notice that she was like a different person? Not only did she speak more coherently and naturally, but she also didn't look fearful or withdrawn anymore, did she?"

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha thought about what Eriri said and found that it was indeed the case.

When saying those last words, Goto Ichiri even looked into her eyes, and the look in his eyes even made her feel a little bit of empathy for a moment.

"If it's acting, then her acting is so good."

Ying Lili was a little uneasy.

"Then what do you think we should do now?"

"Don't worry. Things have come to this point. The situation can't get any worse. Put away your bitter and vengeful expression. Let's eat first. It's not a bad thing to have more contact with Goto Ichiri and learn more about our enemy. And... pass me the gloves over there."

Ying Lili brought the steaming pot of soup and placed it on the dining table.

With Kasumigaoka Utaha's greeting, it was time for dinner at Suzumiya Chisato's house.

…………

Chapter 234: Kitten tries to solve the problem

Goto Ichiri had always dreamed of having dinner with Suzumiya Chisato in his mind, but he never thought it would happen in the way it is today.

However, the number of people changed from two to four, and the atmosphere changed from romantic to weird, which was very different from what she had expected.

But the good news is that every dish looks delicious.

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri, they no longer showed the unsettling expression they had shown after she said those words.

This made Goto Ichiri, who was as timid as a rabbit, breathe a sigh of relief.

The reason why she behaved uncharacteristically just now was because she knew that her next action was related to Suzumiya Chisato's expectations, so she kept recalling in her mind some of the things she had realized from the first-person perspective in that dream.

She had no idea how she was performing because she was completely subconsciously immersed in it.

But looking at the harmonious atmosphere at the table now, and Qianli who has never shown any dissatisfaction from beginning to end, I should have done a pretty good job, right?

Goto Ichiri took small bites of the food that Suzumiya Chisato picked for her, and her attitude gradually became more optimistic.

However, Chisato Suzumiya sighed silently in her heart. The current situation was not optimistic.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that everyone at the table seems to be friendly with each other, as if it is a normal dinner party among friends.

But the situation under the table is quite intense.

Sitting opposite him, Kasumigaoka Utaha, holding a bowl and chopsticks in her hands, seemed to be casually talking to Eriri, but in fact her feet under the table had stretched straight between Suzumiya Chisato's thighs, and she was constantly using her small toes to attack the soft flesh on the side of his leg.

Suzumiya Chisato could tolerate this kind of venting behavior, but what he cared about was the other person's reaction.

After sitting at the dining table, although Eriri behaved as usual, her eyes never met his from beginning to end.

Even though he was obviously staring at her, she pretended not to notice and continued to pick up food and chat with the other two.

Such a reaction actually conveys a signal that she is dissatisfied or angry.

Compared to Kasumigaoka's behavior of directly kicking to vent her anger, Suzumiya Chisato was actually more worried about Eriri's silent reaction.

The longer this unsettling silence lasts, the more unbearable the storm that is to come will be.

This is the price of greed. No matter what you do, the more you want, the more you have to pay.

After all, it is the path I have chosen, and I have already decided to go all the way to the end, rather than retreating just at the beginning.
