Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

What was she studying when I was away? But what was certain was that she was not studying.

Sakuraba Mitsuki leaned back on the soft chair, then stretched out her long legs and placed them on Oreki Gen's legs in front of Oreki Sakura.

This kind of intimate gesture no longer needs to be hidden from anyone.

And Oreki Sakura felt that this woman was declaring war on her.

What kind of blatant behavior is this? This is a provocation!

I also want to do this, but... it seems that my thoughts cannot be exposed to others, especially without the young man's determination.

"Oh? You mean not everyone will like me?"

Sakuraba Mitsuki seemed to have asked a funny question, and even Oreki Gen felt it was strange. With this girl's personality, even if she was very narcissistic and confident, she would not ask such a question.

Oreki Sakura couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course, do you think everyone will like you?"

Then Sakuraba Jianyue smiled indifferently.

"It seems that I don't really need it. Your brother likes me very much, and that's enough."

"..."

Oreki Gen now understood what the other party meant. The real purpose was finally revealed.

Are you still setting traps for others like this?

All of a sudden, the smile on Oreki Sakura's face disappeared without a trace. She looked out the window angrily, determined not to look at Sakuraba Mitsuki again.

The girl didn't care and looked at Oreki Gen with a smile on her face.

The boy was helpless.

We should be thankful that these two didn't fight. And even if they did, even though my sister has a good foundation in swimming and seems to have excellent athletic ability, she probably wouldn't stand to any benefit.

You will never know how high this young lady's ceiling is, nor how much else she can do.

The car quickly drove towards the destination, which was not his shabby apartment, but a golden area where every inch of land was worth a lot of money.

Oreki Sakura also noticed something was wrong.

This didn't look like the route to my brother's apartment at all, and I even stopped in front of a luxurious and exaggerated mansion, a place I had only seen in movies and had never been to in person.

"Where is this?"

Oreki Sakura asked curiously.

At this time, Sakuraba Mitsuki had already opened the car door and was ready to get out.

"Get off the car, we're here."

After saying that, he walked down. Oreki Gen also got off the car and said to the girl next to him.

"This is Jianyue's home. Be polite when you go in. Her mother should be there too."

"What?! Her house?!"

Oreki Sakura's eyes widened, while Oreki Gen had already gotten out of the car and helped the other party open the door.

"Get out of the car."

"No, why did we come to her house? You didn't tell me in advance!"

Oreki Sakura's eyes widened. Although she was curious about this luxurious mansion, when she thought about it being the other person's home, she felt like it was a dangerous restricted area.

Oreki Xian sighed helplessly.

"I told you in advance, are you still willing to come?"

"You know I don't want to come over, yet you still do this? I want to go back! If you want to go to her house, go by yourself!"

She held the car door tightly, trying to resist.

Oreki Gen couldn't help but roll his eyes. Are you only seven years old?

"Stop it. I told you to listen to me when you come here. Besides, my apartment is small, and it's a bit difficult for the two of us to live together. She has more rooms here..."

"What?! You still want me to live in her house? Are you crazy? Oreki Gen!!"

As expected, the resistance became more intense.

And of course Sakuraba Mizuki, who had already walked to the door, could not have failed to hear such noise.

She just stood at the door and turned around with a smile.

"Can you handle it? If not, how about I do it?"

Obviously, this is a threat. If she were to deal with it...it's hard to imagine what normal means she would use.

Oreki Xian had no choice but to squat down.

He looked at Oreki Sakura seriously.

"Calm down first and listen to me."

"Tell me! Let me see what nonsense you can come up with!"

Oreki Sakura was extremely reluctant. She was not happy just seeing Sakuraba Mitsuki, let alone living in her house.

Even if it is a six-star hotel, I would feel so uncomfortable that I can't sleep.

The young man said softly.

"I know this is difficult for you, and I know you don't want to see her. But there are some things that I can't help, and not just for myself, but also for you."

"For me...?"

Oreki Sakura didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence. She might naively think that this society is a society ruled by law, and no matter how excessive Sakuraba Mitsuki was, he couldn't do anything to her.

But Oreki Gen knew that it was not that simple.

He could only hint at the other party.

"Yes, some things are not as simple as you think. It seems that the world is peaceful and even mostly fair. But in fact, it is still unfair in nature. Resources and power are in the hands of a small number of people. And they...mostly ignore the boundaries of law and morality. I'm sorry that you are affected because of me, but...I don't want you to be affected more. All I do is just to make you get through this competition peacefully and without other accidents. Do you understand?"

Oreki Sakura is not a fool.

She just tended to be controlled by emotions, especially when it came to this young boy.

Hearing Oreki Gen's serious words at this time, she also realized the seriousness of the matter.

She seemed to understand Oreki Gen's hint.

She frowned.

"You mean she..."

Oreki Gen interrupted her speculation.

"I won't hurt you. You just need to remember this. Everything I do is to protect you. I hate seeing you get hurt or sad more than anyone else. No matter what the time or situation, I am your brother. Absolutely."

When he looked straight into her eyes.

Oreki Sakura understood his sincerity.

He will not deceive himself.

I will not accompany that woman to tease me.

So in this situation, even though she was extremely reluctant, she still let go.

"I see..."

Oreki Gen stood up and gently took her hand.

"Okay, if you don't like it, just don't say anything. It's okay. But you have to be polite, okay?"

"I know! I'm not ignorant... humph."

The girl blushed a little when Oreki Gen held her soft little hand.

Feeling the boy's delicate palm and his generous warmth seemed to be able to warm my heart.

Sakuraba Mitsuki narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them.

"They have such a good relationship, just like real siblings."

Oreki Sakura rolled her eyes at the other person.

"We are siblings, are you envious?"

Sakuraba Jianyue couldn't help but laugh: "Why should I envy you...I am also your sister."

"Screw you!"

Oreki Sakura thought that the other party was still talking about the time when he gave her a pair of shoes when she was in her hometown, but she had no idea about the complicated relationship that Oreki Gen now had in this family.

Until the three of them entered the vestibule together.

At this time, a mature woman in kimono appeared in front of the three people.

With an incomparable friendly smile, she has an indescribable charm.

This was the most beautiful mature woman Oreki Sakura had ever seen.

How should I put it, the qualities of this woman are what every girl wants to have when she grows up.

Whether you are a good wife and mother or an independent and strong woman, you won’t mind having such temperament.

Just by looking at it, you can feel the spring breeze and completely forget that it is winter.

Could this be Sakuraba Mitsuki’s mother?

Why did a woman who seemed like no one hated her and everyone wanted to be close to her give birth to such an annoying daughter?

She was a little puzzled.

But Sakuraba Izumi had already come in front of the three of them, and she said with a smile.

"This is Oreki-kun's sister, Sakura, right? Hello, I'm Mizuki's mother, my name is Sakuraba Izumi, nice to meet you... I've asked someone to prepare a gift, it's really beautiful, you're worthy of being Oreki-kun's sister, I really want to meet your parents."

Oreki Sakura felt a little strange.

I seem to have heard this somewhere before?

Isn't that right? When Oreki Gen heard this, he thought of Kikyo Rimi.

The office lady next door even said that she wanted to treat the two of them to a meal. Fortunately, Oreki Gen had foreseen this and did not agree directly.

Oreki Sakura suddenly became a little nervous.

"Ah... no need for gifts, hello..."

Sakuraba Izumi held the girl's hand affectionately.

"You are already so tall at this age. Have you ever thought about becoming a model in the future? This body proportion is not common."

Oreki Sakura was a little lost after being flattered by the other party, and her mind was a little confused.

"No, I don't have that plan. I'm in the swimming club at school..."

"I see, no wonder you have such a great figure. I guess when you grow up a little bit, you will definitely be a popular figure. Looking across the entire Sakura City, there are few people more attractive than you."

"W-Where is that..."

The girl's cheeks became hot.

Oreki Gen couldn't help but sigh that age is always more valuable.

Sakuraba Izumi has ample experience in dealing with girls of all ages, and her approach is flawless. Not only does she not lower her status, but she also makes the other party feel good about her from the very beginning.

This is all a trap, sister!

It's a pity that Oreki String couldn't give any hints.

He could only watch from the side until everyone entered the reception hall and a special servant came to serve tea and water.

Oreki Sakura was still a little nervous as she sat next to Oreki Gen. Her previous aura was gone, but she found that the annoying girl actually stopped talking and seemed very well-behaved.

He kept his head down and did not do anything against his brother.

As expected, no matter how bad a girl is, she will behave well in front of her parents?

As if noticing the girl's nervousness, Sakuraba Izumi said with a smile.

"Don't be too nervous, just treat it like your own family. After all, Oreki-kun is also our family, and of course you are our family too."
