In the anime, Ai Li's father really doesn't want to be a yellow-haired man

My lovely sister Feng was already fast asleep in her own room.

Sakuta calculated the time and got up from the bed. He tiptoed to the door and confirmed in the living room that Feng was not awake before quietly walking into the bathroom.

He locked the door, leaned against it, and took a deep breath.

The light in the bathroom was a little dazzling, reflecting on the mirror, reflecting his slightly pale face.

"Do I really want to do this?" Sakuta asked himself silently, but he quickly shook his head, suppressing his hesitation. He knew he had no way out.

He closed his eyes and recited a few words in his mind, following the method Makima had taught him. A moment later, warm light emanated from his body, enveloping him completely.

After a few seconds, the light gradually dissipated...

Sakuta slowly opened his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror.

The person in the mirror was no longer the familiar boy, but a young girl with smooth flaxen hair and delicate features. Her skin was smooth and delicate, her eyes were large and bright, her lips were slightly pursed, and she had a hint of uneasiness on her face.

Sakuta reached out and touched her face. The touch from her fingertips felt unfamiliar, yet strangely real. "Is this... who I am now?" she whispered to herself, her voice trembling.

The girl in the mirror looked lost and bewildered.

Sakuta didn't know how to deal with all this next.

The mission of serving Kozo, his sister's illness, Mai's suspicions...

All the pressure was like a mountain pressing on her heart, making her feel breathless.

Sakuta lowered his head and looked at his hands... his fingers were slender and soft, completely unlike his former self. "No. For Kaede, I must persevere."

Meanwhile, at Miss Makima's house...

Inside the room, dim light cast a shadow on the tousled sheets, and the air was filled with the scent of heather and female hormones. Makima nestled in Takashi's arms, her red hair slightly disheveled, her face still flushed from the battle. Her fingers gently traced circles on Takashi's chest, a look of languid contentment in her eyes.

Xiao San leaned against the headboard, panting slightly, beads of sweat still beading on his forehead. His eyes wandered a little, as if he was still thinking about what had just happened... However, Makima's voice quickly brought him back to reality.

"I've already thought of a treatment for Azusakawa Hanako." Makima said softly.

Xiao San lowered his head and looked at Makima in his arms, frowning slightly: "What method?"

Makima's eyes gleamed with cunning. "Use the power of your eyes to find Hana Kaede's memories, and then show them to her. That way, Kaede will think her memories are returning, and Sakuta will believe his sister is getting better."

"Is that so..." Takashi San was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed even more. "Isn't this a fraud? We didn't really cure her, we just created an illusion."

Makima sighed softly and looked up at Kouzo with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "Right now, this is the only solution we have. Her condition is too complicated, and there's no way to find a true cure in a short period of time. And Sakuta has already paid the price, and we must give him an explanation."

Xiao San knew that Makima's method, while effective, was a deception. However, he also knew that Hua Feng's situation was indeed difficult and that a better solution would not be found in a short period of time.

"But..." Xiaosan wanted to say something, but Makima gently pressed his lips.

"Don't think too much," Makima's voice was soft and alluring, "We're doing this for the good of Sakuta and Hana Kaede. At the very least, this will give Sakuta peace of mind, and it'll also give Hana Kaede's other personality a chance to emerge. As for the future... we can slowly figure it out."

Xiao San was silent for a moment, then nodded. Although he still felt uneasy, he also understood that this was the best solution at the moment.

"Okay," Kozo murmured, "let's do it."

Makima's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. She snuggled back into Xiaosan's arms, her fingers gently stroking his chest. "Don't worry, everything will go well."

Sakuta's home...

Sakuta, transformed into a young girl, still stood in front of the bathroom mirror, looking at herself in the mirror. She didn't know that the "treatment" she had given everything for was actually just an elaborate lie.

Chapter 121:122 Sakurajima Mai Chapter : Sakuta's dedication, Mai senior sister is very green on her head

On Wednesday afternoon, the light from the classroom window at Kanagawa Prefectural Minebara High School fell on the desks. Mai sat in her seat, occasionally glancing out the window. Her brow furrowed slightly, a faint sense of unease forming in her heart. "Isn't Sakuta here today?"

Mai thought of the red-haired woman she saw two days ago and Sakuta's most abnormal behavior, and her uneasiness grew stronger.

After class, she took out her cell phone and called Sakuta again.

However......

Still no one answered the phone.

"Why didn't you answer the phone?" Mai felt a surge of irritation and anxiety. The red-haired woman's provocative gaze and Sakuta's unhesitating arrival in the car surfaced in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was amiss, and her mind began to wander.

Meanwhile, at Sakuta's house.

Sakuta stood at the door of his sister Kaede's room, watching the scene inside with a nervous expression. Takashi San sat beside Kaede's bed, beads of sweat on his forehead. His Sharingan was already aroused, and complex patterns (the Mangekyō Sharingan) appeared in his red pupils.

Feng lay on the bed with his eyes open and his breathing steady.

Takashi San is using the power of the Sharingan to enter her spiritual world, trying to dig out Hana Kaede's memories and show them to Kaede's personality for inspection.

Sakuta stood aside, his hands tightly clutching the corners of his clothes, his heart filled with worry and anxiety. His eyes moved back and forth between Kouzo and Kaede, fearing any accidents.

Time passed minute by minute, and the atmosphere in the room became particularly solemn. After several hours, Xiao San finally let out a long breath, looking a little tired.

Sakuta hurried forward, his voice trembling slightly. "How is it? Is my sister...any better?"

"Yeah. As long as you receive regular treatment in the future, you should get better slowly." Xiaosan wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded slightly.

After receiving this answer, Sakuta felt a little relieved, but he was still full of worry. He walked to the bedside, held his sister's hand, and whispered, "Kaede, you must get better..."

Feng's breathing was still steady, with a peaceful expression on her face, as if she was having a beautiful dream.

A few days later, at Sakuta's house...

In Kaede's room, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting a warm shadow on the floor. Sakuta sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on his sister's face, his heart filled with anticipation and anxiety.

Ever since Kozo used the power of the Sharingan to enter Kaede's spiritual world, Sakuta has been waiting for his sister to change.

At first, Sakuta was skeptical of Kozo's method. He was unsure whether this "treatment" was really effective and even worried that it might cause greater harm to Kaede.

However......

"Brother...I remember we used to go to the park together often, right?" Feng's voice was soft.

Sakuta's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes grew warm. He held his sister's hand tightly, "Yes, that's right! We used to go to the park all the time, and you loved swinging high on the swings, and you always asked me to push you."

Feng smiled, still trying to recall those vague images, and then spoke them out. Although her memory seemed to have not yet fully recovered, these fragments were enough to comfort Sakuta.

"That's great, Feng...you're really getting better." Sakuta said excitedly.

At this moment, Takashi San walked into the room. "It seems that the treatment is beginning to take effect."

Sakuta raised his head and looked at Kouzo, his eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, Feng might never be able to remember these things."

Xiao San waved his hand, "You're welcome, this is what I should do. However, it will take some time for Feng's memory to recover, so you have to be patient."

Sakuta nodded, his doubts about Kozo completely dissipated. He stood up and bowed solemnly to Kozo. "No matter what, I'm very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would have done."

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Kou San patted Sakuta's shoulder gently, with a hint of comfort in his tone: "Next, as long as we continue to follow the plan, Kaede's memory will gradually recover."

A few days later...

Sakuta stood by the living room window, his phone in hand. He had just finished a call with his parents. "That's all I need, right..."

Just now, Sakuta told his parents, who were far away, the news that Hanakame's memory was recovering. He heard his mother's excited voice and his father's relieved sigh on the other end of the phone. They immediately decided to rush back to see their daughter, no matter what.

A few hours later, Sakuta's parents arrived home exhausted.

As soon as her mother entered the room, she rushed into Feng's room and hugged her tightly. Her tears could not stop flowing, and her voice trembled: "Hua Feng, my child, do you really remember? Do you really remember your mother?"

Feng was a little overwhelmed by her mother's hug, but a warm smile appeared on her face. She nodded slightly, her voice soft, "Well... I remember that my mother always made my favorite omurice."

When the mother heard this, she cried even harder and hugged Feng tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, her daughter would disappear from her world again.

His father stood nearby. Though he didn't show his emotions as openly as his mother, tears welled up in his eyes. He walked over to Sakuta, gently patted his son (soon to be his daughter) on the shoulder, and said in a low, yet grateful voice, "Sakuta, thank you for all the hard work you've put in during this time."

Sakuta shook his head, "It's nothing. As long as Feng gets better, everything will be worth it."

He watched his mother holding Kaede, his father standing nearby, a complex wave of emotions welling up in his heart as the family finally reunited. This once-fragmented family seemed to be pieced back together bit by bit. Sakuta was also ready to repay Kozo's kindness.

After that, Sakuta's parents proposed this...

"Sakuta, we want to take Hanako over to live with us for a while." Mother sat on the sofa, a hint of pleading in her tone, "We want to spend more time with her, and we also want her to change her environment. Maybe it will be more helpful for her recovery."

Sakuta was stunned for a moment, a little reluctant. He knew his parents' decision was out of concern for Kaede, but he also knew he was used to taking care of his sister every day. However, he didn't hesitate for long before nodding, "I understand. Kaede... it would be nice if Hana-Feng went back with you guys for a while."

Upon hearing this news, Feng's face showed obvious reluctance. She walked over to Sakuta, gently pulled his sleeve, and said with a hint of grievance in her voice: "Brother, I don't want to leave you."

Sakuta's heart trembled suddenly, but he still tried to force a smile and gently ruffled Feng's hair: "Silly, you are just going to live with your parents for a while. When you recover better, we can live together again, okay?"

Feng lowered her head and was silent for a moment before finally nodding reluctantly. Her voice was soft, yet firm: "Well... I will try my best to recover. Brother, you have to wait for me."

A bitter feeling welled up in Sakuta's heart, but he still smiled and nodded: "Of course, I'll wait for you."

The next day, Sakuta stood at the doorway, watching his parents and Kaede get into the car. Kaede sat in the back seat, waving at him through the window, a look of reluctance on her face. Sakuta waved back, and only let go of his hand once the car was out of sight did he slowly lower it, feeling a sense of emptiness in his heart.

"Next, it's time for me to fulfill my promise." Sakuta said silently in his heart, with determination in his eyes.

That afternoon, after his parents and sister left, Sakuta sat alone on the living room sofa, his phone in hand. Kozō's number appeared on the screen. His finger hovered over the dial button for a long time, a complex mix of emotions filling his heart. He knew that once he dialed the number, he would be entering a world from which there would be no return.

Finally, Sakuta pressed the dial button.

After a few rings, Kouzo's voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello, Sakuta, what's going on?"

Sakuta's voice was dry. "I have something important to discuss with you. Could you please come over?"

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, and then Takashi's voice sounded again, with a hint of interest: "Important? Okay, I'll be there tonight."

After hanging up, Sakuta put the phone aside, covered his face with his hands, and took a deep breath. "For Kaede, for this family... I have to do this." Sakuta told himself silently.

At night, Sakuta's home.

Kouzo sat on the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and waited calmly for Sakuta's explanation. "Sakuta, you said you had something important to discuss. What is it?"

Sakuta sat across from him, looking a little nervous. He first briefly recounted how his parents had taken Kaede away today. "I'm really grateful to you. If it weren't for you, Kaede's memory might never have been restored."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Xiao San nodded. "But, you didn't call me here just to say this, right?"

A look of hesitation flashed across Sakuta's face, and then he stood up and forced a smile: "Um... I'm going to the bathroom first, wait a moment."

"Okay, go ahead." Xiaosan didn't think much about it.

Sakuta quickly walked into the bathroom and locked the door. He leaned against it and took a deep breath... He knew that what he was about to do would completely change his life.

Next, Sakuta once again followed the method Makima taught him...

After a moment, a warm light emanated from his body, enveloping him completely. After a few seconds, the light gradually dissipated.

She looked at herself in the mirror, stroked her face, and confirmed that her beauty was no less than that of Senior Mai.

In the living room, Kozo's eyes glanced towards the bathroom from time to time... because Sakuta had been in there for a long time and had not come out yet.

Just then, the bathroom door opened.

Xiaosan looked over and his eyes froze instantly.

The person emerging from the restroom wasn't the familiar young man, Sakuta, but a slender, delicately crafted young woman. Her slightly curly flaxen hair fell softly over her shoulders, her skin was fair and delicate, and her eyes were tinged with shyness and uneasiness. She wore loose-fitting home clothes, but even that couldn't conceal her uniquely feminine charm.

Xiao San was stunned. His gaze lingered on the girl's face for a moment, and he subconsciously asked, "Excuse me, who are you..."

The girl didn't answer, but walked straight to Xiao San. Her eyes were full of determination, as if she had made some kind of resolution. The next second, she suddenly threw herself into Xiao San's arms, tightly wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips without hesitation.

After a moment, the girl let go of Xiao San and took a step back, a blush on her face. Her voice was trembling, but she was extremely firm. "This is my understanding. Please accept my gratitude."

Kou San finally came to his senses and looked at the girl in front of him with complicated eyes. "You...you are Sakuta?"

Sakuta nodded, "Yes. For my sister and for this family, I am willing to give everything. This is my own choice."

Xiaosan was silent for a moment, and instantly understood that it was Makima's doing.

At this moment, Xiaosan did not feel any joy in his heart, but instead felt an indescribable heaviness.

A stronger sense of guilt came over me...

"Sakuta, you..." Kouzo's voice was filled with helplessness and sighs, "You really don't have to go to this extent."

Sakuta shook his head. "No, this is my own choice. As long as my sister can get better, I'm willing to do anything. And... now I can't turn back."

Hearing him say this, Kozo understood that "Sakuta will become a woman forever." Therefore, he could only take responsibility for her and give her a happy life as compensation.

Kozo looked at the girl in front of him with mixed emotions. He knew that he could no longer refuse Sakuta's decision.

"Okay," Xiao San whispered, "Since this is your choice, I will respect it."

Just like that, Sakuta snuggled in Kozo's arms, her cheeks slightly flushed. Her slender fingers stroked Kozo's chest, and Kozo looked down at the girl in his arms, "Sakuta..." Kozo didn't say anything else, just stroked Sakuta's hair.

Sakuta kissed her again, her movements gentle.

Kouzo returned Sakuta's kiss, wrapping his arms gently around her waist.

The two people's breath intertwined, and the atmosphere in the room gradually heated up.

In the early morning after the battle, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and the ringing of the alarm clock broke the silence.

Sakuta frowned slightly, then slowly opened her eyes, only to find herself still nestled in Kouzo's arms. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she recalled last night's events. "Is this what it's like to be a woman? It seems... not bad."
