A group of people traveled through a strange world, and I was the only one who was not a refugee.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

"Good morning, Senior Shiyu."

"Hah~ Good morning to you too."

"Give."

"Thank you."

After drinking a few sips of hot water, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a little better.

It was still snowing outside, and unless it was something important, no one would choose to go out in this kind of weather.

After washing and eating something, the two sat on the carpet in front of the fireplace, chatting and reading.

She continued to delve into the weird light novel market.

Kato Megumi, on the other hand, is researching new recipes.

"By the way, Hui, have you seen that girl Eriri?" asked Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Kato Megumi replied: "She probably hasn't woken up yet. It's just winter, and even Hayasaka hasn't gotten up yet."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, then put down the book and stood up.

"Senior Shiyu, what are you doing...?"

"I'll take a look."

Kato Megumi was a little amused and confused. It was just sleeping, what was there to see?

But she also stood up and chose to follow.

When they opened the bedroom door, they saw three bulges of quilts.

Except for Yukinoshita Yukino, the three women in the bedroom were all asleep.

Looking at Sawamura Eriri's bed, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a little helpless.

She thought that this guy had no sense of crisis at all.

As there are more and more women in the family, even if the adults are not partial, they can easily become invisible if they do not take the initiative to show their presence.

Kato Megumi's focus is not here.

She let out a soft "eh" and walked to Eriri Sawamura's bed.

On the drawing board, the previous page of paper half covers the content of the next page.

But you can vaguely see that it should be a painting depicting a bathroom, and the steaming water vapor is lifelike.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also came over.

Gently turn the page and see the true appearance of the illustration...

The two people's faces were quickly covered with blushes, and they were embarrassed.

Chapter 129: 127. Moving, the women sleeping together

The content of the painting is far smaller in scale than one might imagine.

The bathroom, the mist, the extremely blurred outlines of men and women...that's all this painting contains.

But compared with the straightforward style, this hazy technique makes people feel hotter in their hearts.

"Shiyu-senpai, let's get out quickly and not disturb Eriri and the others from resting."

After saying this in a low voice, Kato Megumi blushed and turned the paper behind the drawing board to cover the embarrassing painting in front of her.

"Ah."

Kasumigaoka Utaha responded softly, and as she turned around, she couldn't help but pat her cheeks with both hands.

She caught a glimpse of the woman hiding under the quilt from the corner of her eye, and she thought her previous thought was hasty.

The painting behind me actually still has some small details that need to be added, which shows that I just started it not long ago.

But after Master Zhen returned home yesterday, he had no contact with this guy.

It should be early morning...

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn’t know whether her guess was correct, but it didn’t matter anymore.

As the door closed again, Sawamura Eriri, who was lying in the quilt, opened her eyes as if she sensed something.

He first sat up dazedly, then subconsciously looked at the drawing board beside the bed.

She was stunned for a moment, then looked at the closed window.

After she reacted, her pretty face flushed.

…………

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

There are only three things that Akita Makoto needs to worry about right now.

1. Command the police officers of the branch and manage the area under the branch.

2. Go outside the safe zone and bring back refugees that appear from time to time. Most of them are time travelers.

3. The stockpiled extraordinary materials must be sold as soon as possible.

Needless to say, the first two are his responsibilities.

The last one is... a little bit troublesome.

As the security forces gradually increased their pressure, even if the underground organizations in Kyoto were slow to react, they should have known that this was an instruction from the top.

We are not stupid. Behind the underground organization, there are also S-level extraordinary people protecting them.

But these unofficial organizations basically have one thing in common, that is, "self-interest" comes first.

Occasional suppression to maintain face... There are a few times like this every year among the top leaders in Kyoto. The old underground organizations have long been accustomed to it. It is better to keep a low profile during this period.

As for the extraordinary people at the bottom, they can only hope for the best.

This leads to a phenomenon.

As underground markets ceased operations one after another, the newly emerged extraordinary people who had just gained power through secret techniques or rituals had no channels to obtain resources.

The prices of some essential and high-demand materials continue to rise.

Taking one of the materials that Akita Shin asked Hayasaka Ai to buy as an example, the current price has increased by three times!

The others are fine, but on average, they have also increased by about two times.

There aren't many buyers who can spend eight or nine thousand gold coins at a time...

Akita Shin rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

The maid who was massaging his shoulders thought for a moment and suggested, "Master, why don't you do it later?"

Akita Shin collected his thoughts and shook his head, saying, "If we want to maximize our profits, now is the best time."

Hearing this, Hayasaka Ai was very confused.

These days, he would occasionally explain to them what was happening in Kyoto, and that the suppression from the security forces would continue for the entire winter.

"It's normal that Xiao Ai doesn't know."

“Don’t look at the prices of various extraordinary resources. They are still on the rise, but it will soon end.”

Shinomiya Kaguya, who was also in the study, looked away from the book in her hand, thought for a moment and said, "Sir, is it because of profit?"

"Yes."

Akita Shin gave him an admiring look.

The girl's eyes dodged, and her mind suddenly became confused, but she quickly suppressed it and said:

“A great man once said that for capital, 20% profit can make them active.”

"A 50% profit would make them take risks."

"100%, can trample on the law."

"300% means you can commit any crime, even if you are sentenced to death."

Akita couldn't help but rub his chin.

Hayasaka Ai suddenly became nervous. These words had never appeared in this world before.

Shinomiya Kaguya also realized that she was a little reckless.

She just felt that this sentence was very suitable for the current situation.

“Interesting perspective.”

"But for extraordinary people, life is the most important thing. Otherwise, wouldn't the power gained by taking huge risks be wasted?"

Hearing this, the two women breathed a sigh of relief.

Akita Makoto saw all their reactions and just smiled.

After chatting for a while, Akita Makoto got up and left home to find a customer who could consume all the materials in one go.

As for the object, it already exists.

If you don't want to be involved with underground organizations, the family forces in Kyoto are the best choice.

Hayasaka Ai and others were not aware of what happened afterwards.

The next day, someone came to the house to deliver the materials piled up in the warehouse.

In addition to five thousand gold coins, there was also a land deed.

After learning the news of the upcoming move, the girls were surprised but more happy.

After all, the houses we have nowadays are not very big. If there are more family members in the future, space will become very tight.

They don't need to worry about moving or spend money to hire someone to do the relocation.

By Saturday, everyone had moved into their new home.

afternoon.

New bedroom, new big bed.

Wherever you look, you see spring.

Hayasaka Ai, Kato Megumi, Miura Yumiko, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Eriri.

They all looked exhausted and were still fast asleep.

It was the first time that five women slept in one bed at the same time.

Akita really didn't bother them.

Unfortunately, Yukino still couldn't accept it, and Haruno couldn't accept it either.

It was a rare good day. Not only was it not snowing, but the sun was out.

He simply wandered around his new home.

The area of ​​the courtyard is several times larger.

There is also a small lake, but unfortunately it is winter now and the surface is frozen.

Overall, Akita Makoto is very satisfied with his new home.

Although it is not in the central area of ​​the inner city, it is big enough.

Just as he was about to find a warmer place to sit down, drink tea and read.

"You are such a great man."

"Ok?"

Turning around, I saw Yukinoshita Yukino, walking towards me with Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Before we could exchange pleasantries, the latter said, "Director Akita, headquarters has notified us that a large number of refugees have arrived outside the safety zone closest to the branch."
