Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

But you can vaguely see the kiss marks on the girl's fair neck.

"Why not? Don't worry, she won't eat you. Besides, don't you think that if there is real danger, I am the only one who can save you?"

...How should I put it?

I know you have some intelligence, but you don't have to use it so thoroughly all the time.

After a brief consideration, Oreki Gen accepted the reality.

That’s right, Sakuraba Mitsuki is right.

If the other person's mother really has ill intentions towards you and wants to do something, then running away is not the best option. On the contrary, you will suddenly be surrounded by dangers and you don't know when an accident will happen.

Only now can you win!

That is, only when Sakuraba Mitsuki is by his side can he understand the woman's intentions, and at the same time, it is possible to resolve this sudden crisis.

"You are amazing. I now doubt whether you arranged this."

Oreki Xian looked at the girl who walked up to him. The noble temperament was still there, but it was more charming and beautiful. Where did such temperament come from... Oreki Xian didn't believe that the other party's mother would not fail to see it.

It's already a desperate situation~

Sakuraba smiled at Yue.

"Didn't I tell you to leave before, but you refused to leave."

"Then can I leave? No man can leave!"

Sakuraba Mitsuki opened the door with a smile.

"That's your own problem. That's what a man with a lustful mind is like. He's stupid and ridiculous."

Oreki Gen sighed and shook his head.

"You'd better not be impulsive, or you will put all the blame on me."

Sakuraba Mizuki led Oreki Gen through the corridor and headed towards the living room where the lights were on.

Oreki Gen didn't see any bodyguards or servants outside the living room, and it seemed that there were no corresponding security measures.

But what about in this endless darkness? Could there be someone hiding? Oreki Gen couldn't be sure, but he didn't think the woman's situation was absolutely safe.

"Mother, we are here."

Sakuraba Jianyue walked to the door of the living room first, lowered his head slightly and said this.

A voice soon came from inside.

"Well, come in with him, I'll take a look."

It was a simple answer, with no emotion in the voice.

Oreki Gen held his breath, adjusted his expression, and calmly walked to the side of Sakuraba Mitsuki.

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Kenzuki's classmate."

He greeted politely first, then looked at the other person.

In the living room, a figure was kneeling behind the tea table, holding a cup of tea.

how to say...

She is the woman with the most indescribable temperament and the most unforgettable overall image that Oreki Gen has ever seen since he came to this world.

She was wearing a kimono with alternating red and white colors.

Her long hair was neatly tied behind her head and pinned with a jade hairpin.

She has a plump figure, but doesn't look fat or cumbersome.

She had a graceful figure, and even though she was just sitting, her posture made Oreki Gen think of paintings of beautiful ladies that only existed in distant countries.

She looks somewhat similar to Sakuraba Mizuki, but she is obviously a more mature woman with a more outstanding temperament and has learned to be more restrained.

It possesses traditional classical beauty as well as quiet and restrained elegance.

There was no exaggerated makeup on her face, but her face was delicate and there was not a single wrinkle. Even with Oreki Xian's excellent eyesight, he couldn't see any signs of aging on her face.

Her skin is as fair and beautiful as Sakuraba Mizuki.

The most important thing was the look in the woman's eyes.

It seems that she can see through everything. But you still can't feel whether she is hostile, kind or neutral when she looks at you.

If the original book has a final villain, Oreki Gen thinks it should be this woman because she is too difficult to see through.

This temperament is simply flawless.

Oreki Gen tried to remain calm and lowered his eyes, not doing anything unnecessary or making any unnecessary explanations.

After hearing what the young man said, the woman inside took a sip of tea.

"Yes, I understand. I am Jianyue's mother, Sakuraba Izumi. Please take a seat. It is not the custom of the Sakuraba family to let guests stand all the time."

At this point, Oreki Gen had no choice but to obey orders.

Sakuraba Mitsuki was the first to step in.

Oreki Gen naturally followed, and then sat right in front of the other person. Naturally, he couldn't sit cross-legged or on one knee like he usually did... That would be tantamount to asking the other person to shoot him directly.

Although Oreki Ken hasn't seen the gun yet.

There shouldn't be a gun hidden in the kimono...right?

He thought so.

The other person's eyes didn't seem to be focused on her, so she poured a cup of tea.

He pushed the wooden string with an extremely graceful movement, without any flaws.

Oreki Gen could only nod and take the cup of water with both hands.

"Thank you, aunt."

The woman smiled faintly, and when she smiled, she had very cute dimples on her face, which was somewhat in contrast to her mature image, but it was not a deduction, on the contrary, it added to her unique charm.

"This is the first time that Mizuki has brought a boy home. What do you think, Oreki-kun?"

Were you given the topic right at the start?

Oreki Gen thought for a moment, then smiled and said.

“Of course I feel very honored.”

Sakuraba Izumi nodded slightly.

"Indeed, any boy should feel honored to be chosen by Jianyue. After all, he is my child."

Oreki Gen was certain that they were definitely mother and daughter, they were both narcissistic in the same way!

"I think so..."

"So when did Oreki-kun get close to Mitsuki? Was it when he entered school, or after he found out that she was the daughter of the Sakuraba family..."

Her gaze seemed to have changed. Although her tone remained the same, Oreki Gen already sensed an interrogation.

Sakuraba Mitsuki remained silent the entire time, showing no intention of relieving the boy's pressure.

Just sit quietly by the side, listening and watching quietly.

You can only rely on yourself, women are unreliable!

Oreki Gen understood the meaning of this question, which was that he believed that his approach to Sakuraba Mizuki was a long-planned purpose and a covetousness for the Sakuraba family.

So he smiled and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Well, I think my aunt made a mistake."

"Ok?"

"It was Jianyue who approached me, I didn't take the initiative to find Jianyue."

This sentence surprised Sakuraba Izumi a little, and she looked at her daughter.

"See the moon, is that so?"

Sakuraba Jianyue then raised his head and spoke nonchalantly.

"Although I don't want to admit it, it seems to be the case."

Sakuraba Izumi slightly frowned her beautiful brows.

"why?"

Yeah, why?

Oreki Gen also wanted to ask.

The girl looked at her mother as a matter of course.

“Because he’s funny.”

"So you brought him home because it was interesting, and we were even alone together in your room this late?"

Sakuraba Mizuki nodded.

"He's so funny, so I want him to be mine alone."

Looking at the complicated expression on Sakuraba Izumi's face, Oreki Gen felt like laughing.

It seems that this girl...even her mother finds it difficult to understand?

But he couldn't gloat over other people's misfortune at this time, so he remained calm, as if he was deaf to it.

Sakuraba Izumi was silent for a while before looking up and speaking.

"I roughly understand the situation. Okay, Jianyue, you go back to your room first. I want to talk to Oreki-kun alone."

Sakuraba Mitsuki had no intention of refusing at all.

Just stand up.

Oreki Gen's attempt to keep him was caught off guard, so he still had a conscience.

After Sakuraba Jianyue walked to the door of the living room, he seemed to remember something and turned around to look at his mother.

"Oh, mother, don't kill him."

You are really direct! Oreki Gen was sweating, why did it feel more like a reminder?

Could it be a secret code?

Sakuraba Izumi looked at the girl at the door.

"Is this your request?"

Sakuraba Jianyue frowned.

"Well, sort of. Just this one request. He is very important to me now."

After saying this, the girl left the living room door, and her footsteps faded away, as if she was really going back to her room to sleep.

Oreki Xian wanted to cry but had no tears.

He really wanted to sing "Take Me Away".

And he soon saw Sakuraba Izumi in front of him. This woman with unique temperament who simply crushed everyone looked at him with sparkling eyes and smiled.

“I would like to ask Oreki-kun, how did you deceive my daughter to such an extent? This question is very important, please answer it carefully, Oreki-kun.”

...

(I owe 16 chapters now, 8 chapters left, too much, how come there are still eight chapters?)

64: He is laughing wildly!

What is the importance of this issue?

Oreki Gen didn't know, but he knew that if his answer was not one that the other party could accept, he would have a hard time getting through the night.

It's obviously just him and the other person now.
