Daily life in Zongman: There's something wrong with their eyes

"Are you embarrassed? After hearing what you said, Mashiro, there's no credibility at all."

Seeing Shiina Mashiro say this without a trace of shyness on her face, Shirakawa Shiki laughed and spoke.

"Then why are you looking at me like that?"

Shiina Mashiro expressed her incomprehension and tilted her head slightly.

She seemed to be completely unaware of how adorable she was right now, and her various little actions were teasing other people's willpower and making people's minds sway.

It was rare that Shirakawa Shiki was at a loss for words for the first time and could only laugh dryly.

"No, nothing. I just thought Mashiro was extra cute today."

"Cute? Hmm..."

Shiina Mashiro, who used to never show any emotion when being praised, now has her eyebrows curved into little crescents, seeming to be in a very happy mood.

Kato Megumi took all of this into account in her eyes, and when she looked at Shiina Mashiro, a hint of envy flashed across her face.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but during the days they spent together, Kato Megumi occasionally felt...

Shirakawa Shiki often acts unconsciously towards this flawless girl who looks like an elf, or even he himself does not realize that this guy has a special preference for Shiina Mashiro.

Kato Megumi shook her head and interrupted her thoughts.

"When Shiki-kun praised Mashiro just now, it was a bit like a child showing off."

She didn't mean to make fun of him, she simply thought that boy like that was a little cute.

Shirakawa Shiki was still a little absent-minded, pretending not to hear the giggles of Miku and Kato Megumi.

"Mashiro is just that powerful, and I'm not lying."

"This place isn't far from your house, right? Why are Miku and Ichika sleeping here?"

Miku covered her mouth lightly with a smile, her eyes subconsciously looking towards the store not far away, and opened her cherry lips to explain.

"Actually, Ichika and I are waiting for Nino and the others."

Shirakawa Shiki suppressed his inner restlessness, no longer looking in the direction of Shiina Mashiro, and said with confusion.

"Where did they go?"

"They went inside over there. Maybe they bought something?!"

Mijiu's tone was not very sure. In her opinion, after May entered the store, she might not want to come out for a while.

After all, in May, I was dazzled by the delicious food and might have bought some food...

"Is that so? I understand."

Shirakawa Shiki felt a little disappointed and a little relieved.

What’s disappointing is that we won’t have the chance to see the five beautiful girls in the same frame.

Fortunately, May saw his expression and wondered what it was. Disgust? Shyness? Or perhaps hatred?

The idea flashed through his mind, and Shirakawa Shi eliminated the last option. In his opinion, the personalities and behaviors of these beautiful girls were ultimately gentle.

"Shiki-kun, I've actually been studying cooking seriously lately."

"If you come to my house, I will definitely treat you well this time."

"I'm looking forward to it, but today is not possible. How about leaving it for next time?"

Seeing the boy in front of her showing just the right hint of anticipation, Miku obviously noticed it too.

"Okay, then we'll leave it until the weekend?"

Shirakawa Shiki pondered after hearing this, after all, he had an appointment with Kitagawa Umi at the weekend.

"Weekend? I need to check the time."

"Is Shiki-kun usually this busy?"

Miku murmured, and suddenly thought that as a samurai, it was normal for him to be so busy, and she couldn't help but reveal a trace of heartache.

Shirakawa Shiki was speechless, wondering if the girl had misunderstood something.

"Well, Miku, how about I check the time then?"

"Okay, if it really doesn't work out, I don't mind. Shiki-kun's business is more important."

Miku nodded understandingly and waved her little hand to decline.

After sitting and chatting for a while, Shirakawa Shiki glanced at the time on his watch and said goodbye.

"Miku, then I'll go back with Kei and Mashiro first."

"You know, it takes a while for us to take the tram, and it wouldn't be good for girls to go back too late."

Shirakawa stood up, and Miku subconsciously raised her delicate hand. Thinking that she and he were in the same school, she smiled and said.

"Okay then, Ichika and I will continue to wait for Satsuki and the others."

"But, Shiki-kun, remember to keep your word."

What she meant was that she could ask him to do what he promised her during the day at school.

What words must be remembered?

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Kato Megumi's calm face moved slightly, and a hint of inexplicable color flashed in her eyes.

These girls are so beautiful. Do I need to tell Senior Mai when I go back?

Forget it... I'd rather not cause trouble for Shiki-kun.

After thinking for just a few seconds with her eyebrows furrowed, Kato Megumi relaxed her beautiful eyebrows and pretended to be completely unaware.

"What?"

"It's what you said, about the cell phone."

Miku looked slightly annoyed and gave Shirakawa Shika a shy look.

Shirakawa Shiki smiled faintly, naturally understanding what she meant.

After making a gesture to indicate that it was all right, he and the two girls beside him left.

Looking at the backs of a man and two women leaving not far away, Miku stared at them in a daze, muttering to herself with her mouth slightly open.

"Shiki-kun, what is your relationship with them?"

"Ugh...it's all my fault! It's all my fault for not daring to ask!!"

She held her little head in her hands, the doubts in her heart were still not resolved, and she was also very concerned about the relationship between them.

"Are they a couple? But Shiki-kun clearly kissed me."

"If only I could have mustered up the courage like Nino just now..."

......

Time passed quickly while Miku was lost in thought, and it wasn't long after Shirakawa Shiki and the other two left.

Soon, Nino, Yotsuba, and Satsuki came back, each carrying some bags and heading in the direction of Miku.

At this time, Ichika woke up from her daze and noticed that she was leaning on Miku. Instead of feeling embarrassed, she smiled gracefully.

"I'm sorry, Miku, for making you stay in this position."

Miku first shook her head, then complained a little.

"This aspect of Ichika is truly unbearable."

Nino and the other two came closer, ignoring what was happening between them and spoke directly.

"Let's go, we've got this."

"Next, you two will accompany me to the convenience store to buy some food. We'll talk about what happens next."

"I heard that Daddy found us another tutor, and he's coming tonight. I still haven't given up."

"Really."

The other sisters all chose to turn a deaf ear to Nino's last two words.

He just responded to her suggestion of going shopping for groceries together.

"But Nino, I don't want to go."

This is Yihua. She has only slept for a few dozen minutes and she is not fully rested.

If you have this time, you might as well go home immediately and make up for your sleep so that you can get enough rest.

"Me too. I just wasted a lot of time. I still want to study."

May indeed thought so. After saving face in front of someone today, she became more motivated to study.

"Nino, I'm quite interested."

This is Miku, who has been very interested in cooking knowledge recently.

Nino glanced at Mayu and said in a nonchalant tone.

"Are you really not going with me, May? You know, I just went in with you."

May's expression froze, and she fell silent, knowing she was in the wrong.

"Okay, okay, since May has no objection, let's go!!"

The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and Yotsuba glanced at their respective conditions.

Suddenly, her face was full of energy, and she raised her little hands and cried out.

"Come here quickly! Otherwise you won't be able to have dinner."

"And you too, Ichika. You promised me before, you don't want to go back on your word, do you?"

"Yes, yes, Nino is so handsome like this."

When the five sisters heard the decision that Nino had made for them without their permission, their expressions varied, but they still agreed in the end.

Along the way, we walked further and further away, accompanied by occasional laughter and playfulness.

......

"Then Xiangzi, remember to stay at home and look after the house at night."

"There are a lot of bad guys after dark, you know?"

"Shoko knows."

Hearing Shirakawa Shigeki's serious reminder again, Shoko nodded obediently and then pouted.

"But, Onii-chan, you've said it three times, and Shoko really remembered it."

"What? Are you tired of your brother? It's because you're worried that my lovely sister might be in danger."

"I don't mind it."

Shouko frowned slightly at that and shook his arm.

"Xiangzi is so good."

Shirakawa-shiki coaxed him with a faint smile, then didn't even look at him.

Mashiro, who was concentrating on her painting career, reminded him helplessly.

"And you too, Mashiro. You can draw, but don't do it so much that you forget to eat and sleep. Remember to take a break in between."

"Otherwise, your body will easily get sick."

Tonight, after everyone finished dinner, Shirakawa changed into casual clothes and prepared to go out.

"Onii-chan, remember to go quickly and come back soon."

When Shoko said this, her little head suddenly thought of Shirakawa Shiki, who had been spending the night outside occasionally recently.

"Onii-chan, are you coming back to sleep tonight?"

"If nothing else, I'll be back tonight."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home."

Shiina Mashiro heard his voice, turned around and responded in a light voice.
