Chapter 134 The Elves' Plan to Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole [5k]

When Kasugano Mirai and Tokisaki Kurumi returned home, it was already 7 p.m.

However, due to the long days and short nights in summer, 7 pm is just the time when the sun is about to completely disappear, rather than when it is pitch black.

However, just because it's not dark yet doesn't mean everything is alright.

After all, there are two little ones at home who are still crying for food, and it's hard to tell whether they're my sister, daughter, or girlfriend.

They got home so late. If Kasugano Mirai hadn't made a lot of snacks for his girlfriends and put them in the refrigerator, the two girls would probably be starving by now.

Okay, don't ask why I don't order takeout or go out to eat.

Can restaurant food compare to home-cooked food?

After changing into slippers, before the two little ones could say anything, Kasugano Mirai quickly went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

Considering that it was getting late, he didn't make any complicated dishes, but instead chose curry rice, which is the most common and convenient dish in Japan.

With world-class culinary skills, he can make even the most ordinary curry rice incredibly delicious.

Kurumi Tokisaki originally planned to cook with her boyfriend in the kitchen, but just as she entered the living room, she received a subtle hint from the two little ones.

So she paused in her tracks and said to her boyfriend, "In the future, if I don't see the cats and meows for a day, I'll go upstairs to check on them. You can cook dinner, okay?"

"It's okay, I can manage on my own. Kurumi, go play with them."

Knowing that his girlfriend was a cat lover, Kasugano Mirai did not suspect anything.

Having received her boyfriend's reply, Tokisaki Kurumi immediately left the living room and headed upstairs.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

The sound of rhythmic footsteps coming upstairs could be heard from outside the living room.

The remaining two little ones exchanged a glance, and then Seven Sins called out to Kasugano Mirai, who was busy in the kitchen, "hentai, I went out to play with Yoshino for a long time this afternoon and forgot to feed the cats and meows. Let's go up and check on them and soothe their emotions."

Cat and Meow have neither monster blood nor any cheat-like system; they are just two ordinary little cats.

However, thanks to the Seven Sins' abilities, the two cats are able to communicate with humans.

Kasugano Mirai already knew about this news and had no doubts.

Besides, he doesn't need the two little ones to help him cook, so whether his two girlfriends are in the living room or not doesn't really affect him.

"Go ahead, I'll come up and call you when dinner is ready."

"Mmm! *2"

The two little ones nodded repeatedly, then dashed out of the living room in a flash.

Seeing her two girlfriends' lively antics, Kasugano Mirai smiled and shook her head, then lowered her head to continue preparing the ingredients.

……

……

……

The innermost bedroom on the second floor.

As soon as Kurumi Tokisaki entered the room, the cats and meows pounced on her, rubbing against her feet and meowing incessantly.

Even though the girl knew that the two little ones were hinting with their eyes that they definitely had something to discuss, petting the cat and discussing things are not contradictory, are they?

She opened the cat food can she brought and placed it on the floor. The cats and meows that had been surrounding Tokisaki Kurumi just moments before instantly abandoned her and started munching on the food, their furry butts sticking out.

"Click."

Just then, the door was opened again.

After Yoshino and Nanami entered the room, they first closed the door.

Then, Yoshino whispered to Kurumi Tokisaki, "When we're chatting later, Kurumi, remember to sense Mirai's location."

"Of course, Nanami, Yoshina, and I will also use our senses to prevent Mirai from coming up to call us for dinner without us noticing and thus overhearing our conversation."

Upon hearing this, Tokisaki Kurumi, who had previously seemed somewhat nonchalant, slightly changed her expression, her eyes becoming more serious.

Given their current relationship with Kasugano Mirai, there's almost nothing they can't talk about.

However, Yoshino and Nanami looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, not only sensing the latter's location themselves, but also making her sense it as well.

Her cautious behavior made her realize that her previous guess was wrong, and what the two little ones wanted to discuss with her was definitely not ordinary!

"I understand. I will be able to sense the future location at any time."

As she spoke, Kurumi Tokisaki unleashed her senses.

Just to be on the safe side, she even summoned her teenage and adolescent selves.

After telling the two what had happened, the three of them looked at the two little ones together.

Stared at by three people who look exactly alike, even though they've spent so much time together, the two little ones still nervously took a half-step back.

Fortunately, the two realized in time why the other was acting this way and stopped in their tracks.

Then, the two little ones looked at each other, seemingly deciding who should deliver the message.

However, seeing how slow the two of them were, Yoshina decided to relay the information she had obtained that day to Tokisaki Kurumi herself.

"Miss Kurumi, Yoshino and Nanami ran into Miss Yukinoshita when they went out this afternoon."

At this point, fearing that Kurumi Tokisaki might not understand which Yukinoshita she was referring to, she added, "It's the president of the company, Yukinoshita Yukino."

Upon hearing this name, Tokisaki Kurumi, who had already deduced that the other person was likely her boyfriend's lover from the previous timeline, became increasingly serious, and the eyes of both the teenage Kurumi and the chuunibyou Kurumi also became incredibly sharp.

As the same person across different timelines, all three must have the same IQ.

What Kurumi Tokisaki could deduce, the two of them could naturally deduce as well.

Knowing that what was about to happen was likely the key point, the three remained silent, waiting quietly for Yoshina to continue.

"I'm sure Kurumi-san is aware that, due to some previous misunderstandings, Yukinoshita-san has a very good impression of Yoshino and Nanami-san, and feels great pity and tenderness for them."

"Out of this affection, and also because she wanted to get information about the future brother from Yoshino and Nanami, she invited them to her home."

"It was during this visit that Yoshino and Nanami discovered a shocking secret!"

As it spoke, the mischievous rabbit stretched out its short arms to the sides, trying to make it seem like it had a big secret.

With her short, clumsy hands and comical appearance, she looks incredibly endearing and adorable.

Normally, Kurumi Tokisaki would make a few sarcastic remarks.

But at this moment, with the safety of her potential rival and boyfriend at stake, the girl had no time for such thoughts and kept staring intently at Yoshina.

The chilling gaze made Yoshina, who had intended to keep everyone in suspense, suddenly shiver. She dared not continue to court death and bluntly revealed the truth: "That Yukinoshita-san is a reincarnated person, which is why her feelings for the future young man have developed to this extent in such a short period of time."

Although Kurumi Tokisaki had already guessed that Yukino Yukinoshita's timeline had been altered, she was still shocked when the answer was actually presented to her.

But she knew that now was not the time to be shocked.

Compared to the act of rebirth itself, the hidden meaning behind it is more worthy of deep reflection.

"It seems that I don't exist in that timeline, and even Yoshino and Nanami might not exist there."

As a spirit who controls time, she also has the spiritual power of an entire world to squander.

Kurumi Tokisaki was confident that if she existed in that timeline, her boyfriend could never be re-created.

Conversely, since it was reopened, it means she must not be on that timeline.

This guess also corresponds to her initial reasoning.

"It seems my initial deduction was correct; that mysterious girl brought me, Yoshino, and Nanami to this world to help the future."

"If nothing unexpected happens, she should be my future girlfriend."

……

"But if she has the ability to rewrite the timeline, why did she need to come to me?"

Even if I had plenty of spiritual energy to spare, I wasn't confident I could outlast her in terms of time.

Tokisaki Kurumi was completely baffled by this question.

However, this issue is not important right now, because there will be plenty of opportunities to find out later.

Therefore, since she couldn't figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it and turned her attention to other things.

The reasoning has been verified, and some previous doubts have been explained.

"For example, why did Yukinoshita's bento suit Mirai's taste? Why didn't Mirai refuse her? Why did he uncontrollably help Yukinoshita Haruno before?"

Based on the current situation, Yukino Yukinoshita, even after her rebirth, has not given up on her feelings for the future.

……

Well, that suits her personality.

"While the future may lack memories of the past, it possesses muscle memory, or rather, subconscious memory."

Both scenarios demonstrate the same thing.

He still harbored feelings for the snow beneath the snow.

……

"Of course, without knowing exactly what happened in the previous timeline, this kind of reasoning is actually quite decisive."

Even assuming we take a step back, our future feelings towards each other are still quite complex.

……

From initial antagonism, to subsequent respectful distance, and now to a relationship that goes beyond mere friendship.

Kasugano Mirai, as someone involved, didn't notice anything wrong, but Tokisaki Kurumi, as an outsider, saw things very clearly.

From the former's perspective, he and Yukino Yukinoshita are currently just friends, and he doesn't have any romantic feelings for her.

In Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes, her boyfriend and the other person were already in a relationship that was not quite lovers.
