Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Page 645

It still looked like an AI robot, with no expression on its face. It was driving very attentively and showed no curiosity when it heard any noise behind it.

It just looks less cold, or rather calmer.

Is this also a change in her during that winter vacation?

I don’t know.

Soon they arrived at the residence of the Sakuraba Mizuki family in Liujin District.

When the two entered the living room, Sakuraba Izumi was leisurely brewing and tasting tea.

Oreki Gen, who knew nothing about tea art, couldn't tell whether the other person's tea art was proficient or not, but he knew that the other person's every move was full of elegant charm.

"I'm going to change my clothes, you wait here."

As always, the girl had to go back and change into more comfortable clothes.

Naturally, Oreki Gen could only stay with the tiger in the front hall... It might seem a bit exaggerated to say this, but it was also true that there was always an invisible pressure surrounding this woman.

Oreki Gen seemed very obedient as he sat opposite the other person.

Sakuraba Izumi poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it in front of Oreki Gen.

"Oreki-kun."

Oreki Gen hurriedly took it with both hands and said with a polite smile.

"Thank you godmother."

Sakuraba Izumi was wearing a kimono, which had an inner lining this time, otherwise she would not be able to withstand the weather.

She smiled slightly, her face was mature but without any flaws left by time, only her graceful figure was quite attractive.

"How was your winter break?"

It seems like a normal question from an elder to a younger person.

Oreki Gen said with a smile, "Not bad, quite fulfilling."

Sakuraba Izumi looked at him with a little emotion: "It's great to be young. I am very motivated to do anything and I can't feel the passage of time at all."

This was a woman with almost no flaws, the only thing that was obvious was her sensitivity to age.

Oreki Gen would smile and comfort the other person.

"It's not that exaggerated. Besides, my godmother is very young. As the saying goes, age is just a number. And my godmother is in the best condition both in appearance and temperament."

Sakuraba Izumi covered her mouth and chuckled, her plump breasts trembling slightly, which was quite a spectacular sight.

"Oreki-kun's words are still as sweet as ever. But it's okay, godmother is not such a timid person, everyone has to face the passage of time. Especially seeing that you and Jianyue are getting along so well now, I have nothing to worry about."

It seems to reflect great confidence in oneself.

But Oreki Gen is not so optimistic. Who knows which of this woman's words are true and which are false?

It is never wrong to remain vigilant.

So he kept smiling and continued to speak respectfully.

"I'm getting along pretty well with Jianyue, and things will get better and better. Godmother, don't underestimate yourself. During this time, you are just as much a part of the scenery as Jianyue."

"Really? Am I as attractive as Jianyue in your eyes?"

Sakuraba Izumi seemed very curious and blinked at Oreki Gen.

Oreki Gen nodded vigorously without any hesitation.

"Of course, Jianyue is still a little immature now. In my opinion, Godmother's mature charm is unmatched."

You are trying to flatter someone, but what's the point if you still hesitate?

So if you want to flatter someone, flatter him hard!

Anyway, compliments don’t cost money, so if it can make the other person suffer less, wouldn’t that be a great deal?

Sakuraba Izumi smiled even more happily.

But at the same time.

"Oh, you like my mom so much?"

Another figure appeared on the side, and cold words were heard at the same time.

Oreki Gen was stunned for a moment, then he saw the mischievous look in Sakuraba Izumi's eyes.

It was obvious that she had noticed Sakuraba Mitsuki's arrival in advance, and this question was a trap.

And now...

"Ah, that, that's not what I meant."

Oreki Gen immediately explained to the girl who had changed into a loose round-neck T-shirt and wide-leg pants.

Then Sakuraba Izumi looked over, looking extremely aggrieved.

“Ah? Could it be that Oreki-kun just said that just to coax me? Are you lying to me?”

Oreki Xian suddenly felt overwhelmed.

This combination of punches was a bit difficult to counter, but the boy still managed to withstand the pressure and gave a clear explanation.

"I'm not lying to you. What I mean is that you are both very attractive women. Jianyue is more youthful, while godmother's charm is mature and elegant. These are different charms, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. I definitely don't mean to say that one is inferior to the other..."

no solution anymore.

I can only be a master of keeping things balanced for once.

Even though Sakuraba Mizuki is the kind of girl who obviously needs favoritism and needs to be chosen unconditionally, it seems that this is the only way she can do in front of this woman.

Sakuraba Kentsuki walked over and grabbed Oreki Gen's ear.

"How is that an official answer? Are you saying I'm not as good as my mother?"

The water in Sakuraba Spring suddenly became full.

"You are my daughter, so it's normal for you to be a little inferior to me now, right?"

Sakuraba Jianyue sneered.

"Who said I'm not as good as you?"

"That's what Oreki-kun just said."

"Haha, that's just to compliment what you said. If you like to put pressure on him, you will only get hypocritical lies."

Sakuraba Izumi looked at her daughter with dissatisfaction.

“Even if I put a little pressure on him, it shouldn’t be as much as you put on him, right? And does pressure necessarily mean it’s a lie? I think what Oreki-kun said just now was very sincere. Right, Oreki-kun?”

"I..."

"Oh? Do you really think I'm not as good as my mother?"

"what?"

Oreki Gen was immediately faced with two gazes.

He originally thought that the mother and daughter were going to fight, and he could finally stay out of it and come to his favorite episode, where a woman beats a woman.

The result was unexpected.

After going around in circles for a while, the topic returned to himself.

The pressure is on.

Oreki Gen's back was soaked with sweat.

Do we have to face such a stressful situation in such a cold day?

It’s only the first day of school!

"Um...did you guys not hear what I just said?"

"I'm asking you now, is this what you meant just now?"

"I was obviously saying that both of you are very attractive!"

“Oreki-kun, being tactful at this time is not a good answer. Preferences are subjective. You should speak up bravely.”

I'm talking to you guys!

Can you please forgive me!

Chapter 31: Solve first, then repent

Is it wrong to hold water?

Of course, for some people, not being partial is a mistake.

For example, when your girlfriend complains to you about troubles and problems at work or in life, she is not telling you that she wants you to objectively analyze where the problem is, nor is she asking you to find her problem and let her reflect on herself.

What she needs is for you to stand firmly on the same front with her and criticize the people and things she complains about.

Of course people have to have conscience, but isn't it hypocritical to always talk about conscience and justice and maintain absolute fairness?

But these seem to have nothing to do with Oreki Gen's current situation.

He looked at the two of them with a wry smile.

"Are you hungry? How about I show you some skills?"

Sakuraba Mizuki narrowed his eyes.

"Change the subject?"

Oreki Gen stood up.

"I can show my legs."

“Pfft…” It was Sakuraba Izumi who finally couldn’t hold back her laughter. She looked at the two of them and said, “Okay, I won’t bother Oreki-kun anymore. I’m not an unreasonable mother who has to compete with her daughter. I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare the food so we can start eating.”

The boy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was just a joke...but if it wasn't a joke, it would look too weird, wouldn't it?

However, living in this world, no matter how strange things are, they seem to be normal, and Oreki Genji reconciled with himself in an instant.

No, it’s about making peace with this world.

When the carefully prepared dishes were served, those who didn’t know would think it was a grand dinner, but in fact it was just the most normal dinner in this family.

At this level, Oreki Gen was too lazy to even criticize it from the perspective of waste.

He has gotten completely used to it.

"By the way, is your school going to hold a campus festival next month?"

Oreki Gen, who was holding the bowl of rice, was stunned for a moment.

"How did godmother know?"

Sakuraba Kenzuki, who was also very ladylike, holding a rice bowl and chopsticks, looked at the food calmly and said.

"Because she also graduated from Sakura Metropolitan High School."

"Is that so? Then isn't the godmother our senior?"

The moment Oreki Gen said this, Sakuraba Mitsuki gave Oreki Gen an elbow in annoyance.

"Are you sick? She's my mother."

She obviously didn't find it funny.

But Sakuraba Izumi was smiling happily.
