Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

She walked in slowly.

With the familiar tenderness and laziness, her long hair was unkempt and draped over her fair shoulders, and the dress that exposed her shoulders did not look very warm.

But it does not affect her noble temperament at all.

"You come at this hour and you are still neglecting our guests as usual."

Sakuraba Izumi said with a smile.

Sakuraba Jianyue sat in the reserved seat nonchalantly. He first glanced at the two girls opposite him who didn't look at him, and then yawned.

"They have a free place to sleep and free food to eat. How polite do I have to be to not treat them lightly?"

Sure enough, the moment he opened his mouth, people frowned in dissatisfaction.

However, when Sakuraba Mitsuki put his hands on the table and picked up the chopsticks familiarly, Sakuraba Izumi narrowed his eyes and noticed something.

"Jianyue, what's wrong with your hand?"

So everyone's eyes were focused on it.

Then everyone noticed that there were two obvious red marks on Sakuraba Mizuki's fair wrists.

Although the color is not as bright, it is still quite obvious and can be seen at a glance.

Oreki Sakura and Asagiri Ran, who knew the inside story, suddenly thought of something.

For example... a beautiful girl who should be noble and elegant, feeling lonely at the top, is handcuffed to the head of the bed, twisting her waist...

Now even Asagiri Ran couldn't remain calm anymore.

Oreki Sakura almost couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily.

Compared to this slight nervousness, they were actually more curious about how Sakuraba Mizuki would answer. After all, this kind of thing...isn't it a bit abnormal? And it's hard to explain?

Maybe this was a chance for her to show a rare look of panic.

As for Oreki Gen, who had just sat down and sat next to Sakuraba Mizuki, his heart skipped a beat.

Good guy.

If this woman knew how I 'took care' of her daughter last night, would she... dress herself up like a bullfrog and roast herself on the grill?

All of a sudden, everyone at the dinner table became nervous, even though it didn't seem to be their business.

What no one expected was that Sakuraba Mitsuki was calmer than anyone else. She even looked at her mother, and then showed the marks on her wrist more frankly.

"This? Oh, I played some games with this bastard next to me last night, and he was too cautious, so this is what happened."

This made Oreki Sakura's eyes widen, and she exclaimed: Is this Sakuraba Mitsuki? Is this the woman who insisted on asking me to call her sister-in-law? Absolutely not! A girl who is so scary at this age must not be my sister-in-law! !

Asagiri Ran almost choked on her mouthful of water.

Games?

Is that a mini game?

If the soundproofing was poor, it would be earth-shattering!

You speak so calmly, Sakuraba Mitsuki, are you a human?

However, Sakuraba Izumi seemed not to understand.

She frowned.

"Mini game... What kind of mini game requires making a person look like this? Or both hands? Hmm?"

She looked at Oreki Gen, as if to ask him for an explanation.

Oreki Xian suddenly broke out in sweat.

Something that could have been explained normally has now suddenly reached the highest level of difficulty. It is hard not to think that this girl did it on purpose.

"this..."

But before Oreki Genji could come up with a good solution, Sakuraba Mitsuki looked at his mother with a smile.

"It's just a little game between lovers. What? If mother is interested, she can find a boyfriend to help you try it out."

Having said that, Sakuraba Izumi finally understood.

She just didn't think of this aspect at first.

But when her daughter mentioned the couple, she reacted instantly. Even though she was so calm, she was slightly surprised for a moment.

He glanced at the two of them in disbelief.

what's the situation?

What is Oreki Ken's current situation?

This boy... has he reached this point? He did such a thing to Jianyue, and yet he can still live to the next morning without any harm?

What magical ability is this?

For a moment, Sakuraba Izumi didn't know what to say, perhaps because of her daughter's attitude, or perhaps because this situation was unexpected.

Instead, Sakuraba Kentsuki looked at the expressions of everyone present nonchalantly.

"You're not eating, what are you doing?"

Asagiri Ran put away her inner surprise and continued to eat. There was nothing delicious either. Just like Sakuraba Mitsuki, it looked gorgeous but didn't taste good. It was far inferior to Oreki Gen's cooking.

Oreki Sakura's fleeting blush made her quickly lower her head.

"You can only eat when you come..."

Oreki Gen suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, where's Yui? Isn't she coming for breakfast?"

The Sakuraba Spring returned to calm.

He smiled gently as always.

"She hasn't woken up yet. I left her some food. She will eat it when she wakes up."

"That's it..."

Sakuraba Mitsuki turned his head to look at Oreki Gen.

"I noticed that you really like to care about others. Are you born with an excess of thoughtfulness and tenderness?"

The young man, who already had a brand new mindset, still had a warm smile like the sunshine pouring down.

"It's not a problem to be too gentle and considerate. Just because society is tending towards indifference, we can't ask everyone to become indifferent. Otherwise, a winter more terrible than the end of the world will come to this era ahead of schedule."

"Can this kind of thing involve all of humanity?"

Sakuraba Jianyue snorted disdainfully, expressing his contempt and indifference for all humanity.

Oreki Gen smiled and personally picked up a fried dumpling for the girl.

"I'm just seeing the big picture from the small. Don't you think that my image becomes taller by saying this?"

Sakuraba Mitsuki picked up the fried dumpling, not even slightly disgusted at having touched the boy's chopsticks, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then he said in a slurred voice.

"No, you are still so insignificant, just like them, like an ant that can be stepped on and killed at any time."

He also glanced at the two girls opposite.

Oreki Sakura and Asagiri Ran thought the same thing almost at the same time.

What kind of punishment is this? I have to watch you flirting in the early morning, and I have to be AOEed. Is this against the law?

Sakuraba Izumi was very satisfied with the scene because she clearly saw the changes in her daughter.

It's very obvious.

"Okay, stop bickering while you eat. Of course, if this is how you young people fall in love, just ignore what I said."

Oreki Xian flattered appropriately.

"Godmother, you are not that old. Don't always belittle yourself like this."

“Alas, now Oreki-kun is the only person who can clearly feel the love and care of the younger generation.”

Sakuraba saw Yue and said immediately.

"He can love in more ways..."

"Okay, okay, let's try this lettuce. I can tell it's juicy at first glance..."

Oreki Gen immediately stopped Sakuraba Mitsuki from saying anything shocking.

Good guy.

Even though she was his godmother, he didn't want to do anything that would betray his filial piety.

It looks like an easy job, but it’s actually a unique skill?

I don’t know, the meal passed in such a seemingly harmonious, and actually... quite harmonious atmosphere.

Like an intelligent AI and an advanced robot, Qiandao Feng is still responsible for sending several people to school.

But before Oreki Gen got on the car, Sakuraba Izumi called him.

"What's wrong, godmother?"

Oreki Gen looked at the woman. Although he seemed to be smiling brightly and handsomely, his brain was actually working at a rapid speed.

Why did she call me at this time?

Warn yourself of the consequences of that kind of game?

Or do you have other work to do?

I don't know, but I'm nervous.

However, he did not expect that Sakuraba Izumi would reach out and touch the boy's head gently and lovingly.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether Sakuraba Izumi was acting or really meant it.

He froze in place and heard her say.

"Well done, keep it up."

"what?"

"I mean... this kind of game can be more frequent and more intense."

"..."

Sakuraba Izumi...you are committing a crime!

Looking at the woman in front of him with a smile as gentle as water, Oreki Gen thought so.

Chapter 40: How about you guess? (Additional chapter 2~)

Oreki Sakura doesn't have to go to class, and these few days are a rare time to relax, so she doesn't need to get in the car and prepare to go to school like Oreki Gen.

After calming down the 'little shock' brought to her by Sakuraba Izumi, Asagiri Ran still sat on her outside, while Sakuraba Mitsuki sat on her inside in a familiar manner.

It seems that judging from the position, Sakuraba Mitsuki is more like the one who needs a sense of security.

In fact, Oreki Gen knew that the relationship between these two girls was basically one where neither of them could tell anyone about the other.

Everyone has their own flaws, and they also have things that they will insist on no matter how stubborn they are.

He remembered something and said softly.

"By the way, Jianyue, I plan to pick up Sakura after school today."

He hesitated for a moment, but still told Sakuraba Mitsuki about something he had been planning for a few days. It could be said that it had been planned since the first day he arrived.

"why?"

Sakuraba Mitsuki expressed his dissatisfaction with a simple and direct rhetorical question.

Oreki Gen said with a smile.

"Isn't the competition over? She'll be staying here for a few more days, and I want to take her around Sakura City to have some fun and experience it. After all, she's never had the chance to come to a big city before."

"Not at my house? Do you think my house isn't as interesting as those crappy places?"

He narrowed his eyes, the aura he exuded was very familiar, but to be honest, Oreki Gen was no longer that worried or afraid.
