Sasaki was secretly surprised that they didn't think their relationship was that good.

She didn't sound polite.

Is there something you need to ask me?

Thinking so, Sasaki politely declined her proposal.

[No need to bother, auntie, do you have anything to say? (doubt.jpg)] 07:31 "Read"

[Does Sasaki-kun have time this week? (hesitation.jpg)] 07:32 "Unread"

Walking to Rinka's door, Sasaki put his phone in his pocket and pushed the door open.

Put the sleepyhead on the bed with his arms around your neck and his chin resting on your shoulder.

Sasaki looked at Rinka who was still dazed, reached out and pinched her fair and pretty nose: "Hurry up and get changed~"

"Hmm~"

Okino Rinka, who was having difficulty breathing, shook her head and groaned, shaking off the hand that was teasing her.

Then she opened her sleepy eyes, glanced at Sasaki who was about to leave, turned over and hugged the quilt, humming in response:

"In a moment... five minutes..."

Throw the clothes that Rinka needs to wear onto the bed.

Seeing that she was still a little lazy, Sasaki raised his hand and patted the curved snow hill:

"Hurry up, if Otome comes upstairs to urge you, I'll see what you'll say."

"She agreed to let me find someone else, but she didn't agree to let her good sister stab her in the back."

Although Sasaki was telling the truth, his words that completely removed himself from the issue still made Okino Rinka sit up and grit her teeth in anger:

"You were the one who asked me to come over last night! I didn't backstab Sister Otome! Don't talk nonsense!"

Looking at Rinka, she looked like a cat with its fur standing on end, with its teeth and claws bared.

Sasaki smiled without answering. He leaned forward and put his arms around the slender and soft waist.

Pressing against Rinka's soft, smooth, but slightly cool face.

Sasaki leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Then I'll let you come again tonight... Remember to come early~"

After saying that, without waiting for Rinka to reply, Sasaki stood up and said, "Otome should have finished cooking, come down quickly."

After smoothing Rinka's messy hair, Sasaki turned around and walked out of the room.

Ever since Rinka realized that she had feelings for him.

Sasaki didn't think that with Rinka's personality, she would reject his closeness because of shyness, so he didn't think Rinka would reject him.

If she was the type of person who hesitated because of shyness, she would not have fallen in love with her brother, Okino Kazuki.

But she now has a fragile barrier in her heart.

That is the fear of seeing the sad and complicated eyes of the maiden.

This is also the reason why we didn’t proceed to the final step last night.

Just as Sasaki told her.

In Okino Rinka's eyes.

Sister Otome only agreed to let Brother Fuyumi find someone else, but she did not say that person could be her, Rinka Okino.

Others are hooking up with Tomi-kun, but that means they have no relationship with Otome-san. I like your boyfriend, so it’s none of your business.

So in Okino Rinka's opinion, the maiden sister had no choice but to compromise with the sneaky cat outside for the sake of the harmony of their relationship.

But as Sakuragi Otome's younger sister, it's different if she falls in love with Sasaki.

To Sister Otome, Sasaki is like her brother-in-law to Rinka Okino...

If she cheated on Sasaki, in the eyes of Otome, she would be abandoning the sisterhood between them.

Therefore, as long as Okino Rinka is still entangled in sisterly love, it will be difficult for her to give her all.

However, in Sasaki's opinion, this "barrier of sisterhood" is not solid.

Because Rinka is not the kind of person who cares about what others think of her.

She cares more about her own happiness than other people's evaluations and opinions.

This can be seen from the fact that she can fall in love with her brother and take action.

Compared with the criticism caused by the brother-sister relationship, the pressure that Okino Rinka is facing now is much smaller.

Because she just needs to find various excuses to eliminate the guilt in her heart.

As long as she feels at peace with herself, no one else can judge her except the maiden.

But in order to make Rinka feel better, Sasaki could give her an excuse that he "forced her".

With this excuse, Rinka could feel less guilty towards Otome.

Coming downstairs to the kitchen, Sasaki sat on a chair and replied to the message that Miyajima Tsubaki had sent earlier.

[Sorry Auntie, I was just serving rice... I'm free on Saturday... Is there anything Auntie Miyajima can help me with? (doubt.jpg)] 07:36 "Unread"

Thinking that he hadn't replied to the message for a while and that Miyajima Tsubaki should have to wait for a reply, Sasaki heard a message alert tone before he put down his phone.

Hey~

[It's nothing... it's just that my aunt told my father something about Sasaki-kun... my father hopes to meet Sasaki-kun, because we are also a family...] 07:36 "Read"

Looking at Miyajima Tsubaki's intermittent and hesitant words.

Sasaki, who didn't understand what her last sentence meant, frowned and wondered if there was any relationship between them.

But after frowning and thinking for a while, Sasaki couldn't remember anything, so he asked her directly.

[What does the aunt mean by a family? ] 07:38 "Read"

No definite response was received.

Miyajima Tsubaki sent me a photo.

There are three people in the photo.

The one on the left is a middle-aged man with short black hair, a slightly fierce face, and a thin figure.

The one in the middle is a young man who looks 50% similar to Sasaki, but wears glasses and has an elegant temperament. He is probably about the same age as Sasaki now.

The one on the right is a middle-aged man with a slender and strong figure, and his face is somewhat similar to the young man in the middle.

Sasaki didn't know the two middle-aged men.

But the young man in the middle, who looked like his brother just by looking at his face, Sasaki knew that he was his father when he was young.

The identity of the tall and strong middle-aged man wearing a black and white kendo uniform is not difficult to find out.

That was Sasaki Fuyumi's grandfather, Sasaki Fumiichiro.

Because Sasaki's father was often on business trips, Sasaki has no memory of returning to his hometown to pay homage to his ancestors.

Even his grandfather's name was told to him by Sasaki's mother.

But I only know the name.

I didn't dwell on the memories for too long.

After Sasaki recognized the person in the photo.

Miyajima Tsubaki sent their names over.

【Miyajima Sosuke, Sasaki Kyota, Sasaki Fumiichiro.】07:40「Read」

Without waiting for Sasaki to ask, Miyajima Tsubaki sent a few more messages.

[I know Sasaki-kun has a lot of doubts, but I can't explain them clearly for a while.] 07:40 "Read"

[Perhaps your father has not told you, but from the photos, you should be able to guess that our two families have a good relationship.] 07:40 [Read]

[Although the two families have lost contact due to... some reasons, they are still old friends, so my father wants Sasaki-kun to come to the dojo when he is free.] 07:41 "Read"

Looking at the information on his phone, Sasaki scratched his head as he learned about the relationship between his ancestors for the first time.

He didn't think that Miyajima Tsubaki was just out of boredom and trying to deceive him.

After all, I had told her about my family situation.

But Sasaki didn't mention the names of his father and grandfather at all.

Since Miyajima Tsubaki knows the names of her ancestors and has photos, it means that their family has some connection with her own family.

Although Sasaki is not very interested in the relationship between ancestors.

But since they have already asked, it would be impolite if I didn't refuse.

So after thinking for a while, Sasaki agreed.

[If it’s convenient for Aunt Miyajima, I’m sorry to bother you on this Saturday. (smile.jpg)] 07:42 [Read]

Chapter 64 Breakfast

I agreed with Miyajima Tsubaki on the time for the visit.

Before Sasaki put down his phone, Sakuragi Otome, who had already prepared breakfast, brought the breakfast and placed it in front of Sasaki:

"What's up with Fuyumi today?"

After seeing Sasaki coming downstairs, he just sat on the chair and kept playing with his phone.

Out of curiosity, Sakuragi Otome asked casually.

After tasting the rice porridge, Sasaki shook his head and said, "It's not that I have something to do today."

"It's Saturday."

"I went to a classmate's house yesterday. The elders there thought I looked familiar and asked about my family situation. Later they found out that my grandfather was a close friend of their family and planned to invite me over on Saturday."

I didn't tell the girl about her sword skills, or recognize her identity, which is not a complicated thing.

Sasaki changed his words and explained the situation briefly.

And Otome just asked casually and didn't take it to heart.

Compared to these, she was more concerned about Rinka's situation.

After serving breakfast to the table, Sakuragi Otome, who hadn't waited for Rinka to come down, asked, "Is Rinka still awake?"

Pretending not to notice the maiden's gaze, Sasaki drank the rice porridge in small sips.

Because Rinka discovered something about herself unexpectedly.

This created a wonderful misunderstanding between them.

As an insider, Sasaki did not intend to make it clear.

He just needs to follow the script that Rinka gave him.

Although I felt a little sorry for Rinka, it was her fault for taking the photo of me secretly.

If she hadn't discovered what happened to her, there wouldn't be such a misunderstanding. Sasaki just didn't explain it, so it's obvious who is responsible.

And according to Rinka's script.

At this moment, Sasaki couldn't understand the look in Otome's eyes.

But since he knew everything and had indeed attacked Rinka, he just pretended not to see it.

Watching Dong Jian drinking his porridge with his head down with a guilty look on his face.

Sakuragi Otome, who was standing beside him, felt a little excited in her heart.

Because he feels guilty, it means he still cares about his own feelings.

He didn't make fun of himself for pushing Rinka to him.

Although she didn't care too much, the feeling of being cared about still made her feel warm inside.

After all, no girl wants to be generous in this matter.

If Sakuragi Otome really heard similar praise from Fuyumi, she would still feel a little disappointed in her heart even though she wouldn't say it.
