Oreki Ken thought through all of these issues in a short moment.

He didn't do anything unnecessary, just drank his tea calmly.

"Other women...are you talking about my family and my sister?"

Sakuraba Izumi was a little surprised by the boy's reaction.

A little calmer than you think.

But it seems to have become a flaw.

She couldn't help but laugh.

“Shouldn’t a person be more surprised when hearing slander against himself? If you suppress your emotions too much, it will seem deliberate, which proves the truth of what I said. Oreki-kun, you don’t seem to be mature enough.”

I am definitely not mature enough for a 'veteran' like Sakuraba Izumi.

However, Oreki Gen didn't seem to be panicked at all.

He just said with a wry smile.

"I just feel that nothing can be hidden from your eyes. If you have already made a conclusion and have enough evidence, then anything I say will sound like a lie."

Sakuraba Izumi took a sip of tea gracefully, and one could clearly see a few drops of water sliding down the corners of her beautiful mouth.

But she quickly wiped it off with her index finger.

"That's a manly thing to say. But... you said that whether a man is a man depends on what he does, not what he says. From what I understand, I'm not very satisfied."

Sure enough, I did find out some details, or some obvious clues.

For example, the existence of Asagiri Ryou, and the several women who have been moving around frequently recently. Oreki Gen didn't want to guess who they were. If the other party really wanted to take any action, they would not wait until this time to tell him these things.

It seems that he showed up at the school gate today to pick me up, or he had some other purpose.

After figuring this out, Oreki Xian smiled.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a perfect person either. There are many things that I can't do to satisfy you in every aspect. But I think in all aspects, I should be considered a good person."

"Haha, really? Do you know that for a woman, being unfaithful can be considered an unforgivable villain?"

Oreki Gen blinked.

"Jianyue is my only girlfriend."

"You mean when you get married one day, you will have countless mistresses outside for you to enjoy? Since you like Xia's culture so much, do you know how the prince consort was treated in ancient Xia?"

Of course Oreki Gen knew that.

Becoming the princess's consort may seem to be a glorious life, but for any ambitious man it is a life with a foreseeable end.

Not only do you have no dignity in front of the princess, you cannot have three wives and four concubines, and don't even think about having any political future.

Is this a hint that I should be aware of my identity when next to Sakuraba Mizuki?

But Oreki Gen had never thought of becoming a royal consort, as this could lead to death.

"I'm not sure about that... But there are no more prince consorts in this era. And Jianyue knows some things very well, and I won't lie to her."

"Really? Anyone can say that as long as the lie is not discovered. But from what I know, it doesn't seem to be the case."

Oreki Gen nodded.

"I didn't say that the things that godmother knew were false, but I can only say that these things did not deceive Jianyue."

This made Sakuraba Izumi frown.

She seemed to understand what the other party meant. Could it be that some of the other party's actions were condoned by her daughter?

How can this be.

Of course, my daughter knows very well what kind of person she is. She is the kind of person who would rather see thousands of others suffer injustice than herself. This kind of thing is a huge offense to her. How could she possibly swallow her anger?

Unless this boy knows magic.

But obviously, if he knew magic, he would have used it on himself long ago.

Sakuraba Izumi was a little unhappy, and even her eyes became colder.

"You should know that no matter what she thinks, as a mother, I will never..."

"Godmother, don't you hope that Jianyue will change a little bit? Or to be honest, what you hope most is that your relationship with Jianyue can become normal, right?"

Oreki Gen's sudden words caught everyone off guard.

At least Sakuraba Izumi didn't expect the other party to say that.

She was stunned for a moment, and her expression immediately became strange.

"What did you say?"

The suppressed voice expressed that her emotions were not stable at the moment.

But this is the effect that Oreki String wants.

If I continue to let this woman do what she wants, then there is no doubt that I will be firmly controlled by her, as she has experience in taking full control of the initiative.

So Oreki Gen had no choice but to tentatively reveal this explosive information.

Only by disturbing the other person's emotions can you get a chance to breathe.

Otherwise, we will always be led by the nose, the status quo will not change at all, the resistance we face will still be very great, and a turnaround will be a long way off.

Oreki Gen looked at Sakuraba Izumi in front of him calmly, but his heart was actually beating fast. It was impossible not to feel pressured when facing such a woman.

He still wanted to give it a try, even if it was just a tiny possibility.

"Well... I should have heard what I said clearly, godmother. You said that I should change Jianyue. Actually, as a mother, why should I change my daughter when she is living a good life?"

"Is she normal?"

"Of course, it seems normal to me. So I think the purpose of you asking me to do this is not to really change her, but to repair your relationship, right? Just like what I understand... you seem to be in harmony and everything seems normal, but in fact you have an unspeakable discomfort. It seems that in the eyes of others, you are a normal mother-daughter relationship, but... you should be able to clearly feel the gap between you and Jianyue now."

I heard Oreki Gen say this.

Of course Sakuraba Izumi would feel offended, and even Oreki Gen could vaguely see that her hand hidden in her sleeve seemed to be in the shape of a clenched fist, with a slight bulge.

She became completely cold and looked at Oreki Gen.

"Do you think that just because I accept you as my godson, you can say such things to me without restraint? Or do you think that Jianyue's existence has given you a golden ticket to immortality? How dare you guess what I'm thinking?"

Looking at Sakuraba Izumi who was suppressing his extremely strong anger and deliberately appearing cold.

Oreki Gen understood that this was a critical moment.

You have to be careful when answering at this time. It's like a game. If you make a bad choice, you may face an elite enemy that you cannot challenge.

Even the big boss.

So even if the opponent's whole momentum seems to be on the verge of a fight, ready to strike.

Oreki Gen also had to calm down and say this.

"It's not important whether I guess your thoughts or not. What's important is... Godmother, do you want to realize this wish?"

desire?

Sakuraba Izumi stood up coldly. Her graceful figure no longer looked beautiful, but full of pressure.

It was almost like a sudden pressure on me.

She was standing in front of Oreki Genji at this moment, looking down at him condescendingly, just like an enhanced version of Sakuraba Mitsuki.

LUXURY PLUS.

"Who do you think you are? Even if I have such thoughts, do you think you can negotiate with me just by observing these things? Can you cover up your own affairs? Don't think too much. After all, we are mother and daughter. Some things are not as simple as you think. If you really think that you can turn the situation around with just this... Oreki Gen, are you tired of living?"

This was the first time she had made such a threat to herself so directly.

It seemed like danger was lurking on every side, and the pressure suddenly reached its maximum.

But at least it can be seen that this time I really caused a huge shake in the other party's emotions, which is unprecedented.

It is both a danger and an opportunity.

Oreki Gen didn't just sit there and wait for death, but instead supported himself on his knees and stood up.

He looked very dangerous when facing the other person, which made people subconsciously look at him with fear.

The young man with clear eyes spoke in a steady voice.

"I am a bad person, maybe even a little mean, and I can't deny that I am not as pure as I say I am, but what I hope most from the beginning to the end is that everyone can be happy, including you."

“What a joke! Your way of making everyone happy is to cheat and be unfaithful? You are so ambitious and you are eager to do something. Don’t think I don’t know. Now you are playing the role of a gentle male protagonist in front of me? It seems like you have your own difficulties. Oreki Gen, life is not an idol drama. Do you think you will never die just because you have the aura of a protagonist?!”

The voices became more intense.

If there was a gun in the other person's hand, there would be no doubt that the other person would shoot, and the boy had no doubt about that.

He took a deep breath.

Look up.

"What if I said this was the only way?"

"How can you convince me? What proof do you have? Your insignificant life!"

Oreki Xian glanced at the bright light.

Will not.

I will not lose my life. At this point, I have nothing to lose.

"Godmother. I will let Jianyue say in person that she loves you."

"...What?"

"time to eat."

96: It feels so good

Suddenly there was a voice at the door.

Cool and indifferent.

Oreki Gen turned around, but Sakuraba Izumi's shaken expression could not be removed for a long time.

It’s Sakuraba Mitsuki.

She stood at the door, standing straight.

No one knew when she came or what she heard.

But she appeared there, staring at the two people confronting each other with eyes that no one could tell what she was thinking.

This situation can only be described as a confrontation.

Who would stand face to face and make eye contact when talking normally? Even the current atmosphere could not be deceived.

It was awkward for a moment.

Oreki Gen couldn't tell whether it was just right or just a little off at this moment.

I just finished saying that sentence, but it was too fast, it appeared as soon as I finished saying it.

Did Sakuraba Izumi hear it clearly? It's hard to confirm.

And did Sakuraba Mitsuki hear it?

If she heard it, wouldn't it make her look like a clown? Of course, the problem wouldn't be too serious. She knew that she was just a person who occasionally had a second-year syndrome. With her arrogance, she would probably just treat it as a child's joke.

Dismissively.

Sakuraba Izumi, who was distracted for only a moment, quickly retracted his gaze.

“Have you eaten yet? Let’s go, Oreki-kun. You must be starving after such a long time, right?”

She immediately put on a smiling face, and even adjusted her voice to be extremely gentle. It sounded very comfortable, but Oreki Gen's scalp went tingling.

Wow, even I can’t change my face as well as you can.

The tone of voice has changed.
