After a pause, the second young lady continued, "Since my sister is injured and cannot go out, I will go back to my room to sleep for a while."

"I had insomnia last night and didn't sleep well. My eyes hurt a little now."

After saying this, Yukino Yukinoshita bowed to her parents and older sister, and then walked towards her bedroom.

After their younger daughter left, the Yukinoshita couple both looked at their older daughter.

"Yono, you've had contact with Yukino recently. Do you know what happened to her? Why did she suddenly change so much?"

Yukino swallowed the last bite of bread, drank the milk in her cup in one gulp, and said slowly, "The information I got from Shizuka is that Yukino had a conflict with a classmate and was lectured by him, which changed her."

Upon hearing this, Representative Yukinoshita was about to ask something else, but Mrs. Yukinoshita suddenly seemed to remember something and abruptly asked, "Is it the boy you investigated before, Haruno?"

"Ah."

After receiving their eldest daughter's affirmative answer, the Yukinoshita couple exchanged bewildered glances.

Immediately afterwards, Councilor Yukinoshita said with a subtle expression, "Yuna, your father and mother don't object to you dating, and even if you like someone younger than you, we can accept it. But you and Yukino, don't give us that kind of movie plot where two sisters fall in love with the same person!"

Yukinoshita nodded gently: "Don't worry, Yukino didn't do anything to that boy."

"I've only fallen for him, but haven't had a chance to do anything yet."

She didn't say the second half of the sentence, otherwise she was afraid her parents would suddenly have a heart attack.

Secondly, her feelings for Kasugano Mirai haven't reached that stage yet; at most, she has a good impression of her, so it's not considered a serious action.

Then, she recalled what she had seen yesterday, and her expression darkened slightly.

What is his relationship with that little girl?

"I arrived quite late yesterday and only knew it was a misunderstanding; I didn't hear anything about the relationship between Kasugano and that girl."

……

"It might be a relative's or friend's child; we need to pay more attention to this in the future."

..............................................................................

The small apartment that Kasugano Mirai rents.

Due to the accident that happened last night, Kasugano Mirai has spent the entire day today taking care of Kurumi, a girl with limited mobility.

After finishing her red bean and jujube porridge, Kurumi smiled at her boyfriend and said, "In the future, you probably won't wait for Nanami to ask you out on a date, will you?"

Kasugano Mirai placed the soup bowl her girlfriend had finished eating on the desk next to the bed and turned to look at her: "If Nanami hadn't heard what I said earlier, and Kurumi hadn't launched a night attack last night, I probably would have asked Nanami out on a date the first weekend after the holiday ended."

Kurumi, the young girl, smiled and asked, "And now?"

Upon hearing this, the person involved rolled their eyes: "I'd be too embarrassed to even go there for the next two weeks, what kind of invitation is that!"

"I will extend an invitation to the Seven Deadly Sins again in half a month, when everyone's memory of it is not so vivid."

Kurumi, the girl, kept laughing while clutching her stomach, but this aggravated her injuries, causing her to furrow her brow.

Once the pain subsided, she suddenly asked, "In the future, could you tell me more about the backgrounds of Nanami and Yoshino?"

"Ok?"

Kasugano Mirai didn't refuse directly, but instead asked, "Why does Kurumi suddenly want to know this?"

The girl reached out and took her boyfriend's hand, saying seriously, "Because I dote on Nanami and Yoshino in the future, my previous comments about raising a daughter or sister might not have been a joke, so I'm very curious about their past."

Upon hearing this, the former remained silent.

Kurumi didn't let go of his hand; instead, she changed the handshake to pressing her fingers together.

Seeing his girlfriend's subtle actions, he sighed: "Actually, there's nothing I can't say, but if possible, I hope Kurumi won't tell Nanami and Yoshino for the time being."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Hearing her boyfriend finally relent, the girl nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

"Please check the surroundings first, Kurumi, to prevent a repeat of the eavesdropping incident. If it happens again, I'll jump off the building right now!"

"Pfft~"

Kurumi couldn't help but laugh at what her boyfriend said, but she still checked her surroundings as he suggested.

After a while, the girl opened her eyes and gently shook her head.

"There are only the two of us in the room now, so there's no need to worry about our conversation being overheard."

"Then I'll say it."

"The reason why Yoshino and Nanami are favored and even spoiled is because their backgrounds are much more tragic than Kurumi's, making it hard not to feel pity and heartache for them."

"According to Kurumi, after regaining your memories using the Tenth Bullet, you planned to gather spiritual power and time to return to the beginning of time and destroy the Origin Spirit. Just then, someone helped you solve this problem."

"In other words, apart from this accident, in the seventeen years before that, Kurumi had parents who cared for and loved her, close friends, and could go to school, go shopping, travel, and buy pretty clothes like a normal girl."

"However, Yoshino and Nanami did not have such an experience."

"Eh?"

The girl's eyes widened upon hearing this.

"Yoshino's full name is Hyoge Yoshino. She was frail and sickly from a young age and suffered from an incurable disease that was difficult to cure with the medical conditions at the time."

"Her parents divorced as a result, and she and her mother depended on each other for survival."

"Due to her serious illness, Yoshino never went to school. All she had to do was stay in the white ceiling of the ward and smell the lingering disinfectant in the air."

"Yoshino was a gift from her mother on her birthday. In return, Yoshino made a doll by hand to give to her mother."

"but…"

Upon hearing the "but," Kurumi tightened her grip.

She knew the big one was coming.

"However, one day later, an accident occurred at the workplace of Yoshino's mother, and she was caught in the accident and died."

"Upon learning of this devastating news, Yoshino's condition worsened."

That night, Mio Takamiya appeared before her.

"In order to survive, Yoshino accepted the spirit crystal given to her and became a spirit, forgetting her human memories, and from then on walked the world as a spirit."

"Since Yoshino was a birthday gift from Yoshino's mother, after becoming a spirit, she subconsciously used her spiritual power to give her a special personality."

“Yoshino knows the whole truth. You can treat her as the reverse of Yoshino, or you can treat her as the incarnation of Yoshino’s mother.”

Kurumi's eyes reddened slightly, and her nose tingled with emotion.

She initially thought Yoshino's timid personality stemmed from bullying or problems with her family upbringing, but the truth turned out to be far more cruel.

"What about the seven sins?"

"Nanatsumi's full name is Kagami Nanatsumi. She is the child of her mother and a married man. The purpose of having the child was only to collect child support."

"Since the woman used Seven Sins as a tool to extort money, it's not that Seven Sins' upbringing was bad, but that woman didn't treat Seven Sins as a human being at all."

"Not only did they frequently abuse Nanami, they also often failed to prepare meals, resulting in Nanami not getting enough to eat whether at home or at school."

Hearing that Nanami was often abused by her mother at home, Kurumi's knuckles turned white from gripping her boyfriend's fists, but she didn't interrupt him and listened patiently.

"Later, Seven Sins' biological father passed away, and the woman, unable to receive any more living expenses, began to see Seven Sins as a burden, which exacerbated her violent tendencies."

"The worst time was when she almost killed Seven Sins."

"At that moment, Mio Takamiya found the Seven Sins and gave her the Spirit Crystal."

"Having obtained the power of the spirits, the Seven Deadly Sins immediately retaliated against their mother, turning her into a frog."

"I intended to stomp it to death, but I stopped before I could put my foot down."

"Because she realized that what she had wanted from beginning to end was not revenge or an eye for an eye, but her mother's care and protection."

"So, even though she had the option to leave, she stayed by her mother's side."

Having figured this out, Seven Sins laughed as he left, then broke into heart-wrenching sobs.

"From then on, there were no more Seven Sins of Kagami, only the Seven Sins of Witches."

After recounting the two children's backgrounds, Kasugano Mirai looked down at her girlfriend and said, "Now Kurumi knows why I dote on them so much, even spoil them, right?"

"...Um."

"Yoshino and Nanami's personalities are closely related to their upbringing."

“What has already happened is beyond my power to change, but I can choose to give them a better and happier future and heal those childhood memories that they themselves no longer remember.”

Upon hearing this, Kurumi looked enlightened: "No wonder Mirai didn't let me help them regain their memories."

Kurumi Tokisaki was once tricked by Mio Takamiya into helping her eliminate a rampaging, out-of-control spirit, and they became friends.

Later, she accidentally killed her friend Sawa Yamada, and her memories were sealed by her and sent to the neighboring world. She regained her memories through the Tenth Bullet.

Therefore, she knew very well that the elf was transformed from a human girl and had no memories of her human identity.

After her relationship with Yoshino and Nanami improved, she planned to use Zafkiel's power to help them regain their memories, but Kasugano Mirai stopped her.

At that time, she didn't understand why he stopped her, but out of trust in him, she chose to back down.

Until today, until now, until this moment, she finally understands her boyfriend's good intentions.

Chapter 89 Night Work【4k】

Around 4 PM, Kurumi felt much better and was able to get out of bed and walk normally.

To avoid being targeted by the main body, she decided not to linger any longer.

"Well then, I'm going home now~"

"Ah."

Kasugano Mirai waved to his girlfriend.

"be careful."
