I have bound two systems.

"No, are you guys serious..."

Suzumiya Chisato was shocked, and now she just wants to say that you guys are cheating.

Although there is a saying that a woman's IQ often increases significantly when she catches someone cheating, and sometimes it can even be comparable to Sherlock Holmes depending on the situation.

But... this reality was right in front of him, and it was still somewhat hard for him to accept.

"Let me smell it."

Although Chisato Suzumiya was about to tell them roughly what happened tonight, he just couldn't believe what Eriri had just said, so he stepped forward, picked up his coat and put it close to his nose to verify it.

It turned out that he didn't smell any of the fragrance or alcohol that Eriri had mentioned.

Kasumigaoka Utaha hooked her hair with her hands and spoke lazily,

"It's natural that you can't smell it. The human sense of smell is very adaptable. Some smells will be naturally filtered out after smelling them for a long time. In a short period of time, you will lose the ability to distinguish such smells. But since you can't smell it, this reveals a key piece of information..."

Her gaze suddenly became dangerous, and the angle of her lips raised to a degree that showed not a smile but a sneer.

"Before you came back, it seems that you spent a long time with a strange woman that Eriri and I didn't know about, in a very close manner. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why you have such a strong smell on you, but you can't smell it yourself."

"..."

Chisato Suzumiya's current psychological state is more than just shocking.

Except for some discrepancies in the details, the two of them guessed almost everything else correctly.

He came back from the barbecue restaurant with Yukinoshita Haruno, who had been drinking, and was trapped in the elevator for nearly twenty minutes.

In such a closed scene, with her intentionally or unintentionally getting closer to me, it is not surprising that my body would be stained with her scent.

"Don't just remain silent, say something, Mr. Suzumiya Chisato."

Now Kasumigaoka Utaha's tone was extremely cold.

She was clearly calling me husband affectionately when she just came in.

"There's no need to jump to conclusions. Qianli hasn't said anything yet."

Perhaps she felt that what Eriri said made sense, so Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped talking and turned and walked into the house.

After everyone sat down in the living room, Suzumiya Chisato explained what happened tonight, including the fact that he and Yukinoshita Haruno were trapped in a stopped elevator together. However, he deliberately omitted the content of his conversation with her during this period and did not state it explicitly.

As he spoke, Eriri looked as if she knew it, and Kasumigaoka Utaha's deliberately cold expression slowly changed, replaced by worry.

She also started to do the same as Eriri, coming over and touching his body with her little hands to make sure he was not hurt.

"Don't worry, the elevator just stopped working. There's no way I could get hurt."

Looking at Suzumiya Chisato's indifferent attitude, Kasumigaoka Utaha pinched his thigh hard.

It was rare for Eriri to use a dissatisfied tone.

"But it always feels very dangerous when encountering this kind of thing. Next time if you encounter a similar situation, please call us immediately. Although we cannot help you directly, we can think of other ways. If you are not here...we..."

"Hey, what are you talking about, you blond idiot?"

Seeing that the topic was gradually going in the wrong direction, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately spoke up to stop Eriri.

In the end, thanks to Chisato Suzumiya's repeated assurances, the matter was resolved safely.

Eriri went back to the bathroom to help Dark Wing take a bath. Kasumigaoka Utaha had originally prepared a midnight snack, but since Suzumiya Chisato had come back after eating outside, the dishes on the table had to be put in the refrigerator.

However, after what happened tonight, Suzumiya Chisato has truly realized the terrifying reasoning ability of these two people. It seems that she needs to pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

------

The next morning, Suzumiya Chisato carefully moved Eriri's arm away from her chest, then stood up and pushed Shiyu's right leg away from her stomach. After doing all this, he carefully got out of bed.

I thought my movements were very gentle and would not wake them up from their deep sleep.

But when Eriri stretched out her arm and gently reached forward, the touch she felt on her hand was not the reassuring solidity, but a soft mass. She slowly opened her eyes because of this inharmonious feeling.

After turning around, his sight happened to meet Chisato Suzumiya who was standing on one leg and getting dressed.

"Thousands of miles..."

As she whispered softly, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was in a light sleep, slowly opened her eyes. After a moment of confusion, she lay on her side in a position very similar to Eriri, motionlessly admiring the fashion show in front of her.

"Sorry for waking you up."

Eriri shook her head to indicate that she didn't mind.

Kasumigaoka Utaha yawned slightly.

"what time is it now?"

Chisato Suzumiya picked up her phone and took a look at it and answered her,

"It's past seven."

"Getting up so early on a Saturday... Really, how much do you like your pianist lady? Go quickly and don't disturb my sleep."

Kasumigaoka Utaha said this and turned around impatiently.

Eriri looked back at her, smiled silently, and gestured to Suzumiya Chisato to tell him not to take it seriously. This guy's personality was like that anyway. Although he got angry easily, it was just as easy for him to calm down. If she left him alone for a while, he would be distracted by other things and would be fine.

Suzumiya Chisato scratched the side of her face and smiled helplessly. It was normal for Shiyu to be angry.

I didn't spend enough time with her and Eriri last weekend, and when the weekend finally came again after a week, I had other plans.

I have to go to Kazusa's place today because it's her birthday. I don't have time tomorrow because I have agreed with Yili to go to her house together to celebrate Hongxia's birthday.

Although I didn't mean to not accompany them, no matter how I think about it, I have indeed neglected them in recent times.

Although they all had a great time last night, matters like relationships between men and women cannot always be communicated only in the room at night. This is not the world of hentai where everything can be solved with that.

The collision on the spiritual level is also a very important link.

"I'm sorry, Shiyu Eriri, I will definitely make time next week, and I'll listen to your arrangements then."

Chisato Suzumiya's words did not satisfy Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Forget it. We have to come up with the date location. That's not sincere at all."

"Then I'll make the arrangements. I've saved some money from my part-time job recently. Let's go shopping in Shinjuku and buy you some gifts."

"No, I don't appreciate the courtesy that you ask for deliberately."

"..."

Chisato Suzumiya sat on the bed.

"You're just going to argue with me here, right?"

"Ah, you're so impatient after just a few words. Men are really fickle creatures. They are only interested in prey that they haven't gotten yet. It's okay. Don't worry about me. Go wash up and go meet your girlfriend."

Lying on her side, Kasumigaoka Utaha stretched out her arms and waved them indifferently, but the tone of her voice was full of bitterness that anyone could taste.

Seeing her like this, Suzumiya Chisato smiled bitterly.

At this time, Eriri said nothing, but pulled Chisato Suzumiya, who had already gotten up, to sit beside the bed.

"It's still early anyway, so there's no rush. So it shouldn't matter if we delay a little..."

"It really doesn't matter... um..."

Suzumiya Chisato couldn't continue to reply.

It seems that Eriri, who just got up in the morning, is in a very good mood. Of course, it is also possible that her behavior is to dilute the disharmonious atmosphere between the other two people.

Because the next moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha could no longer show the same condescending indifference as just now. When she heard something wrong, she turned around and shyly looked away.

At first, she was still righteously scolding, saying that doing such a thing in broad daylight was simply shameless, and that I wanted to sleep, so don't bother me here, and so on.

But as time went on, the sound of her scolding gradually lost its strength, took on a different flavor, and she implicitly pushed Eriri away, becoming more happier and more involved.

When Chisato Suzumiya got up again, it was already past nine o'clock.

Eriri curled up her tired body and weakly told him to be careful on the road. As for Kasumigaoka Utaha, she had fallen asleep due to exhaustion before the end and could not continue to be stubborn.

It's a little different from what I originally thought, but this can be considered as solving the problem on another level.

I have to say, the riding skills that he had previously discarded are really a good reward.

Unlike the two people lying weakly on the bed, Chisato Suzumiya was still full of energy. She took a shower, changed her clothes and walked out of the house.

------

At the door of Touma's residence, Suzumiya Chisato rang the doorbell three times in a row but no one responded.

He thought of what Touma Yoko had said to him casually before, that she would not be at home on Saturday so that the couple could strengthen their relationship without being surrounded by others.

I thought she was joking at the time, but I didn't expect she was serious.

I don't know why Kazusa, who is at home now, didn't open the door for her. Maybe she just wanted to vent her anger and left him outside on purpose. Now she is using the camera attached to the doorbell to peek at her embarrassed expression and laugh secretly.

Although it is hard to imagine that Kazusa would do such a childish thing, maybe she just likes this kind of childish pleasure?

But unfortunately, Miss Yoko had already told me the password to open the door in private, so no matter what you have in mind, Kazusa, it is impossible for you to do as you wish.

After pressing a series of digital codes, Chisato Suzumiya successfully stepped into the yard, opened the door and entered the house.

At the entrance, you can see a pair of small leather shoes with the toes facing inward. Hesha must have listened to me and stayed at home obediently today without going out.

The room was very quiet, not much different from usual.

Chisato Suzumiya acted as if she was back home. She took out her slippers and put them on. She first went around the living room and shouted, but when she didn't see anyone, she went straight upstairs, but she didn't see Kazusa in the room either.

Suzumiya Chisato learned the reasoning method that Ms. Touma Yoko once said. He walked to Kazusa's unmade bed and reached under the blanket.

It’s cool, the owner must have been up for a long time.

To be on the safe side, Chisato Suzumiya checked the toilets and bathrooms on the first and second floors, but still didn't see her.

That being said, she would only be in that place.

Chisato Suzumiya walked out of the living room and stepped onto the stairs that led downwards.

These are the stairs leading to the underground practice room. There are always-on light strips installed under the stairs. Hesha had brought him down here once before.

As I got closer to the practice room, I could hear the faint sound of piano.

When Chisato Suzumiya realized that Kazusa was right below, she slowed down her movements.

After quietly pushing open the door, the beautiful piano sound like the trickling of a spring suddenly became clear.

The huge piano became unusually obedient under Hesa's fingers, producing soft and delicate sounds in accordance with her wishes.

Chisato Suzumiya slowly walked to Kazusa's side, looked at her face with slightly raised lips that looked extremely happy, and stared at her hands that were dancing on the black and white keys as gracefully as fluttering butterflies.

It was not until the piano piece ended that Chisato Suzumiya raised her hands and applauded as the only audience member at the scene.

It was at this moment that Touma and Sa suddenly realized that another person had walked into the practice room for some unknown reason.

…………

Chapter 8 I Hate You (k)

"I feel like I've been healed. As expected, Kazusa's performance is the best."

While clapping her hands, Suzumiya Chisato gave her praise very directly and straightforwardly.

Hearing his voice, Touma Kazusa turned around, looking quite flustered, and couldn't figure out where this guy in front of him came from.

However, she did not care about this, and took the lead in refuting what Chisato Suzumiya had just said.

"How can this messed up piano music be so good? How can you say something so insincere?"

Suzumiya Chisato smiled and shook her head.

"I'm not saying this against my will. Everyone has different tastes, and their inner standards of judgment are also different. So, if that's the case, it's normal for Kazusa and I to have different ideas. Don't deny what others say just because of your own subjective feelings, Ms. Kazusa."

Touma Kazusa didn't say anything else, just snorted softly through her nose.

I like the slightly arrogant look of you.

"So, what's the matter that made me wait for you at home today? I deliberately turned down other arrangements and made time for you today."

"Other arrangements? Kazusa?"

"Your tone is like you are looking down on me!"

"Sorry, sorry, I just can't think of any plans for Kazusa. After all, in my impression, you spend most of your free time at home."

"Stop talking nonsense! Even I normally go out shopping, go to the arcade to play video games, or go to the bookstore to read."

"Go to the bookstore to read?"
