I endured the humiliation and humiliation while being besieged by the ghost story elder sister.

Arisa volunteered, "I'm Mio's girlfriend, nice to meet you, Miss Yasui~"

The moment she finished speaking, Arisa could clearly feel a murderous aura directed at her rushing towards her, but it vanished in an instant.

Miss Yasuko, as if nothing had happened, turned her head and looked at Honoka and Ami beside her, and asked.

"And what about the two of you?"

"As for me, Xiaoling is temporarily living in my apartment. It's kind of like a temporary guardianship plus a cohabitation relationship?"

Since Arisa has already stated that she is Nozomi's girlfriend, she obviously can't afford to lose face in front of Ms. Yasuie.

However, when she heard that Honoka was providing accommodation for Nozomi, Hachiko didn't react much. She simply picked up an orange from the fruit plate and handed it to Honoka.

"I see. Xiaoling is in Xijing, and it's all thanks to your care. Here, have an orange~"

Just as she was about to ask what Ami, who was sitting directly opposite her, was doing, Nozomi suddenly spoke up from the kitchen.

"Alright! Dinner is ready. Everyone, please clear the table and then come help out~ Sister Ba, you have to come and help too."

"Alright, alright~ By the way, Mio, what did you make for dinner tonight? It smells so good!"

Because his attention had been focused on the three people sitting at the table, he hadn't noticed what dishes Xi Ling had prepared.

then.

Some curious people went forward to investigate, and what they found was an exceptionally lavish seafood feast. Judging from its appearance, it seemed that about half of the ingredients in the refrigerator had been used.

This surprised Yachiko for a moment, and judging from the smell, Nozomi's cooking skills seemed to have improved a lot again.

Soon, with several people coming forward to help, the dishes were served.

Just as they were helping out, as they passed by Yashiro, even the already tall Arisa looked somewhat inferior next to her, finally experiencing the oppressive feeling of someone's height.

"What~ Arisa, is this the first time you've seen a girl taller than you?"

Seeing Arisa's surprised expression, Nozomi couldn't help but step forward and tease her, even poking her waist with her elbow. She was quite happy to see the girl's discomfiture.

However, Arisa was not angry when she heard Nozomi teasing her. Instead, she nodded obediently.

"It's definitely the first time I've seen this before, it feels a bit strange... But, Mio, why is your older sister so tall, while you are?"

Although Arisa didn't finish her sentence, Mio knew what she was about to say and, somewhat annoyed, punched her in the lower back.

Of course, this level of force is nothing to Arisa.

Then, Xi Ling explained, "Ya Yui-nee isn't my biological sister, we're not related by blood! But... I think I've kind of forgotten why she stayed at my house."

"Huh? What about your parents, Mio?"

"parents?"

Upon hearing Arisa's question, Nozomi immediately felt a throbbing pain in her head, as if something was amiss.

Just as he was about to figure out what was wrong, a pair of delicate hands suddenly landed on his shoulders.

"Alright, Mio, what are you still doing here flirting with your girlfriend? It's time to go eat!"

"Huh? Sister Baqi, speaking of which, why did you move into my house in the first place? I can't quite remember."

Looking at the eight figures that suddenly appeared behind her, Nozomi asked this question.

Arisa sighed inwardly. Although she didn't know how this guy had altered Nozomi's memories, judging from the current situation, this little trick could be easily cracked.

But the prerequisite is that this guy named Hachiko doesn't find out...

Thinking of this, she silently looked at the tall figure pushing Xi Ling towards the living room, and began to make her own plans.

Chapter Four: Speaking Off the Cuff

During the meal, Honoka and Arisa kept subtly probing into Nozomi's past, trying to make him realize that his memory was malfunctioning.

But every time it came to a crucial moment, Yasuko would cleverly resolve the past and change the subject so that Nozomi wouldn't think about these things anymore.

She now realized that these guys who suddenly arrived were just trying to ruin her plans.

However, judging solely from their strength, aside from the beautiful woman who hasn't made any significant moves and is a bit of a challenge, the other two are just minor figures and not worth worrying about.

After they finished dinner, Xi Miao cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. Ya Zi naturally followed her to prevent the others from saying anything inappropriate to Xi Miao while she was away.

Fanxia and Arisa, who were left at the table, exchanged glances, seemingly wanting to confirm each other's thoughts.

"Do you also think there's a problem with this eight-piece set?"

“Indeed… but we can’t do anything about her. If Xiaoling doesn’t figure out her memories, we’ll only be resented by her, which is something neither of us wants to see.”

After hearing Arisa weigh the pros and cons for her, Honoka also gave up her plan to join forces with the mother and daughter opposite her to take a hard line against Yasuie.

"What should we do? She's always sticking to Mio, we have absolutely no chance..."

"How about we take a bath with Mio later..."

Before Arisa could finish speaking, she heard Hachiko, who had just finished washing the dishes, talking to Himeko from the kitchen behind her.

"Shall we take a bath together in a little while, something we haven't done in a long time?"

"Eh? With Hachi-nee? But..."

If it were before, when he was still a child, he would have readily agreed, but now...

Seeing that Xi Ling was hesitating, or even wanted to refuse her invitation, Ya Yu couldn't help but purse her lips when Xi Ling wasn't looking, but it was only for a moment.

Then she continued talking to Mio, "I've been looking forward to rubbing your back for so long, Mio~ Ever since Mio grew up, she's become more and more indifferent to me. Does she hate me?"

"Nothing!"

"Then let's prove it with our actions!"

"...Okay, I promise you."

For some reason, he had a feeling that he had been tricked again, as if Fanxia had used the same trick on him before.

Just as Nozomi fell into the trap set by Hachiko in a few moments, Honoka and Arisa, who were still sitting at the table, couldn't sit still any longer.

"Hey! Mio, didn't you promise to shower with the two of us first?"

"Huh? When did I agree to something like that with you two?"

Looking at the two angry women, Fanxia and Arisa, who had stood up in the living room and were even slandering her, Ximiao asked with some confusion.

"Pfft~ I guess the two of them are jealous."

As she said this, Yashiro pushed Hime towards the bathroom, completely ignoring the others.

After hearing what Yasu said, Nozomi stopped paying attention to the strange looks of Honoka and Arisa.

If it's just jealousy, he's confident he can appease them both before going to bed...

But then again, why has Aunt Ami become so quiet since she arrived? I don't understand them...

In the dressing room in front of the bathroom, Xi Ling, who was only wearing a shark onesie pajama, simply pulled the zipper and the pajama naturally slid down to her feet.

Her fair and youthful body was displayed before Ba Zi's eyes, making her unable to look away.

"I didn't expect that in just one year, Mio, your figure has become so good~ It's so smooth, are you putting on something?"

She couldn't help but gently touch Xi Ling's shoulder. It was soft and smooth, and felt quite nice. However... the teeth marks and bruises on his back were a bit of an eyesore.

"This must be the work of that woman who claims to be Ximiao's girlfriend," she couldn't help but think.

Upon hearing Sister Yachi mention this matter, Ximiao told this "big sister" whom he hadn't seen in a long time, in detail about the part-time job she had found and how she had been consistently applying body lotion every day.

In the cramped bathtub, because of her astonishing height, her long, slender white legs could only dangle over the edge of the tub, swaying back and forth, with glistening water droplets clinging to her fair and smooth skin.

As for Nozomi, it was less of a bath and more like she was grabbed by Yasuki and used as a toy, like a little yellow duck, while she was taking a bath.

Anyway, that's how he felt. Even if he just moved his head slightly, the softness behind his head would desperately try to make its presence known.

So much so that Nozomi didn't dare to move around, afraid that she might touch something she shouldn't and cause Hachiko to get some wrong information...

"Mio~ Tell me again about what happened when you were in Saikyo~"

"Hey~ I've already said so much, shouldn't you, Hachi-nee, tell me about things here?"

The two, who had been chatting for quite some time, showed no intention of getting out of the bathtub, at least not until the hot water cooled down.

The longer they stayed in the bathroom, the more anxious the people outside became, wishing they could rush in and see what they were doing in the bathroom.

a long time.

After taking another hot shower to clean herself, Nozomi and Hachiko finally decided to come out of the bathroom.

Despite being wrapped in a bath towel, even such a large towel looked tiny on Sister Ba, like a small size.

Her curvaceous figure looked even more sexy against the backdrop of the bath towel.

So, when the two of them passed by the living room door, Arisa, who was already getting impatient, froze on the spot when she saw this scene.

No, how can we fight like this?

She looks like she's an I-cup... Her waist is so slim and her butt is ridiculously perky, is she cheating?

Not only was she shorter, but she was also completely outmatched in terms of figure. In an instant, she became dejected.

But Fanxia, ​​sitting opposite, had no idea what strange things this depressed girl was thinking.

When she saw Xi Ling come out, she rushed over and, ignoring Xi Ling's struggles, untied the bath towel wrapped around his body.

Hmm... there's nothing strange about her body, and no signs of a battle, except for the marks on her back that she and Arisa had taken turns leaving.

After checking several times, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned the towel she had snatched to Xi Ling.

After giving her a disapproving glare, Xi Ling blushed and ran barefoot back upstairs to her bedroom.

Meanwhile, Hachiko, who was still in the corridor, looked at Honoka with a meaningful gaze. Judging from her actions just now, this person probably also had a special relationship with Nozomi.

Thinking of this, her expression clearly turned somewhat unpleasant.

Xiaoling only went to school outside for a year, and she's already been flirting around everywhere, completely forgetting about her hometown and her eighth sister. This is intolerable!

It seems she'll have to resort to some tricks to let these vixens know who Xi Ling really belongs to...

After glancing at them briefly, Hachiko went upstairs to her room to change into her pajamas.

The other three also took advantage of this time to quickly go to the bathroom to take a shower. After that, apart from Aunt Ami, the other two walked towards Nozomi's room without prior arrangement.
