Moreover, that way, no one would know the event was real.

“I’ll think about it some more. Or, I could film the scene of the person receiving assistance. If they agree, I could do a TV interview. If they don’t agree, I’ll just keep a record to avoid being extorted.”

After all, it's not uncommon for someone to be greedy after you've helped them, wanting more and then trying to extort money from you.

Masamune paused for a moment, then continued:

"Alternatively, cooperating with the police and having officers visit your home together should reduce the chances of being extorted."

Hayase Kinue nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"It's never a bad thing to think things through more. I've seen plenty of cases where good intentions turn into bad ones because they weren't handled well."

"If there's anything you don't understand, remember to call your dad; he knows a lot."

"Hmm." Masamune nodded slightly.

Then, he fell into deep thought again.

......

The following afternoon, Masamune arrived at the Sanzenin residence as promised.

Because they arrived early, before school let out, only Shizuko Sanzenin and Maria, who was in charge of serving tea and water, were in the living room.

"Hasn't Nagi come back yet? What brings you here today?"

"Don't rush, Masamune-kun, you happen to be free today, don't you?"

"That's just social nicety; the truth is: I'm incredibly busy right now."

Sanzenin Murasaki couldn't help but laugh, shaking her head slightly, her face full of smiles:

"I'm really sorry, but even so, I won't let you leave easily today."

"So, what exactly happened?" Masamune asked again.

"You'll find out soon enough. After Nagi comes back, can you find a place to hide? Come out when I call you."

"No."

"?Why?"

"There's nothing I can't say to others, and I don't feel I need to hide."

"Aren't you currently hosting a service event? I can invest in it."

"That's Hachiman's entire fortune, what does it have to do with me?"

"Is that what you're saying to the outside world?" Sanzenin Murasaki chuckled, a mischievous grin on her face. "In that case... if you don't want your own money to be exposed, then you'll have to do as I say. How about that?"

Masamune stared at her speechlessly. Honestly, there was definitely some kind of conspiracy going on.

"Fine, fine... I agree, okay?"

"Then let's hide behind the curtains?"

"now?"

"Judging by the time, Nagi should be back soon; it's always around this time every day."

"it is good."

Not long after Masamune hid himself, about two or three minutes later, Nagi Sanzenin's voice came from the living room.

"Mom, I'm back!"

"Welcome home! How was school today? Did you pay attention in class?"

"...Of course there are."

"Good children shouldn't lie."

Sanzenin Nagi was speechless. Should she say that no one knows a child better than their parents? Every time she lies, she is seen through instantly. This feeling is truly a headache.

"I'm sorry, I felt groggy when I woke up today, and I almost slept through the morning. In the afternoon, which was my worst class, PE, I just sat under the shade of a tree playing on my phone."

"You should go to bed early tonight. If you don't sleep at night, you'll definitely be tired in the morning."

"I want to go to sleep early too, but as soon as I lie down, that guy's face appears in front of me, and I just can't fall asleep."

"Who is it?"

Seeing the smile on her mother's face, Sanzenin Nagi froze. What was going on? When was she exposed?

"When did Mom find out? I shouldn't have mentioned this at all?"

“We slept together the night before last. Last night, I was worried about you, so I went to see you again, but I didn’t go inside.”

"Didn't Mom go to bed very early the day before yesterday?"

"To avoid you finding out that I was disturbing my sleep and then feeling guilty, I was pretending to be asleep."

"..."

Sanzenin Nagi was speechless. As expected of her mother, she had really thought things through.

Moreover, even though it happened the day before yesterday, they waited until today to inquire about the details.

"Can we not talk about this? I don't want to discuss these things with people."

"No. Besides, I already know, but you insist that I pretend I don't know. That's very difficult."

At this moment, Sanzenin Nagi felt a little flustered.

Since you already know, why are you asking me?

Could it be that they're just trying to trick me?

How much does Mom know?

“The night before last, you kept calling out Masamune-kun’s name, and then you would wake up in a fright every now and then.”

"And then, did Mom pretend to be asleep the whole time?"

"That's right. The way you carefully turn over, worried about disturbing me, is really cute."

"..."

Sanzenin Nagi sighed helplessly, and after a long while, she said in despair:

"Since Mom already knows, there's nothing I can't say. That's it, I've been dreaming about Hayase these past few days."

"Damn it! Appearing in my dream without permission."

"What's even more infuriating is that I dream about him being intimate with other women every time, which is really upsetting."

"So Masamune-kun is such a lecherous person? He can't live without women? I never would have guessed." Mizenin Murasaki said with a light laugh.

"No, it didn't get to that extent, it's just... I saw another side of him."

"What are you talking about specifically?"

"He adopts different attitudes towards different people and can change his attitude extremely quickly."

"Me too, or rather, everyone is like this. I have two faces, one outside and one at home."

Shiko Sanzenin felt that the timing was about right, paused for a moment, and tentatively asked:

"If that's the case, Nagi shouldn't be so angry, right?"

Sanzenin Nagi remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:

"That's right, I'm just angry with myself, angry at myself for being so weak, for actually developing feelings for that womanizer."

"Of course, I wouldn't say I like him, at most I just have a bit of a crush on him."

"I know that I don't have a single decent guy around me, and if a guy with a good personality and looks suddenly appears, it's easy to lose myself."

"But that's precisely why it's even more infuriating."

"Moreover, because of his superpowers, he dreams about parts of his experiences each day."

"If this continues, over time, the goodwill will easily increase gradually."

"And this process is irreversible; it cannot be stopped no matter what."

"I feel like there's a progress bar in front of me, and my favorability increases by one every day."

"The road ahead is like a bottomless abyss, while the ground beneath your feet is a muddy slope. You will only slowly sink in as time goes by."

"The thought that I might become one of the fifth in the future makes me even angrier."

It turned out to be the case.

Sanzenin Murasaki seemed to be deep in thought. She had thought Murasaki was angry at Masamune's philandering, but she hadn't expected that Murasaki was angry at herself.

However, it is very rare to see a little girl with such a clear understanding of herself.

It seems that Nagi is more mature than she thought.

Come to think of it, she had been all alone for the past ten years while I was away.

Moreover, it seems that he didn't rely on the Sanzenin family's influence to skip a grade and enter high school, which is no easy feat.

"So, what are your thoughts?"

“I don’t know.” Sanzenin Nagi shook her head slightly. “I try to avoid dreaming, but I can’t control it at all. I’ve also tried looking at pictures of my idols, trying to transfer my affections, but I just can’t do it.”

Do you dislike Masamune-kun?

"I don't dislike him. If he only pursued me, I might be tempted. But I don't want to be one of the five, and I hate fickle men even more."

"Hmm... Mom suddenly regrets it a little. She shouldn't have called Masamune-kun here on her own today."

"??"

Sanzenin Nagi was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening and immediately looked around warily.

Hearing this, Masamune could only step out from behind the curtains, looking apologetic.

"Sorry, I can pretend I didn't hear what you said."

At this moment, Sanzenin Nagi really didn't know what expression to make.
