Chapter 167: Is the Head of the Family the Sister-in-Law? (Please Subscribe)
"Why are you back so early today?"
"I've finished my work for today. Is it okay if I leave a little early?"
Upon hearing Bai Ye's greeting, the black-haired beauty responded indifferently, her face expressionless, as if she had no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.
This beautiful woman has short, neat black hair and slender eyes, a typical neon-style beauty. She is dressed in a neat and sharp suit with black stockings and high heels, giving her an overall serious and dignified impression.
Her serious and indifferent voice naturally made her icy image even stronger, making people sigh that it was a pity she was an ice queen.
"N-nothing~" Bai Ye waved his hand awkwardly, forcing a smile.
As the head of the household, it seems rather strange that he would do this to others in his own home.
However, no one present seemed to sense anything was wrong. In fact, they all appeared somewhat frightened, some shrinking back as if trying to retreat.
I was afraid that if I was a little ahead, the other person would see me and then I would be scolded.
But the one who felt the most pain wasn't them, but a silver-haired girl who had already retreated back into Bai Ye's arms...
“Sagiri, I told you not to treat outsiders like this. Family scandals should not be aired in public. I don’t want others to know that our child has this special fetish.”
"I... I didn't do anything, I was just drawing..."
"Does painting require those shameless poses and clothes? If you think it's okay, go to the square and try doing it."
"Waaah! I...I know I was wrong, I won't do it again..."
Sagiri tried to retort, but was easily refuted. The other person's voice was strong and unwavering, causing Sagiri's voice to grow softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.
You know, she always has a megaphone on her lips!
Yes, just like in the original story, this girl usually speaks very softly.
It's better when you're only with your own family; you can speak more naturally.
But when she came out to see Hui just now, she put on a megaphone, probably so that her voice wouldn't sound too soft or weak.
After all, her family described her voice as "too sweet and cute, not intimidating at all," so she didn't want to show any weakness in front of Hui!
...But even with this, she still didn't dare to speak loudly in front of her "aunt".
"Ahem, Kyoka-chan, you've seen it yourself, Sagiri has already admitted her mistake, so please forgive her, okay?"
So she turned to Bai Ye behind her for help.
She clung to her father pitifully, looking at him with her big, watery eyes, her delicate little hands resting awkwardly in Bai Ye's arms, appearing utterly helpless.
So Bai Ye coughed once, and then began to plead for her.
“I haven’t even mentioned you yet, brother-in-law, and also Sister Seven Sins and Sister Two Asia.”
"Uh!" x3
However, it had no effect whatsoever, and instead, it resulted in him and the other two people getting caught up in it as well.
"As adults, how can you stand by and watch your children do this kind of thing, and even encourage them? Is that appropriate?"
"Uh, well, Kyoka-chan, we didn't encourage her, it was Sasa herself..."
"It's all the same. You just stood by and watched this happen without stopping or teaching her. Do you think your behavior is that of a qualified adult? The way children are these days is completely inseparable from your indulgence and even instigation."
"..." x3
The black-haired woman showed no mercy and gave the three of them a severe dressing-down.
However, everyone just awkwardly lowered their heads, looked at each other with a sense of helplessness and complaint in their eyes, and seemed innocent and idly trying to shift the blame onto each other.
But he didn't seem to want to refute the black-haired woman's expression...
Well, there's nothing we can do about it; after all, she's considered the "serious one" in this family.
In such a large family, everyone has a different personality.
There are people like Nia Byakuya who are very easygoing, and there are people like Nanami Sagiri who don't talk much. In that case, it's natural that we need some more responsible people to manage this family.
Otherwise, things will definitely get very chaotic.
And this black-haired woman is none other than Kyoka!
Izumi Kyoka, Akane's younger sister, and Sagiri's aunt.
However, unlike the spirits whose appearances have remained unchanged over the years, Kyoka looks quite different now.
The cute middle school girl with pigtails from back then is gone.
Instead, this mature woman who looks like an office lady was replaced.
Well, it was her own choice.
After all, as people get older, they don't want to stay in a childlike state. The current appearance of being twenty-five or twenty-six years old is the most suitable.
However, unlike the rebellious and willful Kyoka of the past, she has now become very serious and meticulous.
...It's pretty much the same as in the original story, but Bai Ye doesn't really want her to become like this!
Kyoka used to love sitting in his lap, just like Sagiri does now.
There's no way around it; after all, life is too good, and some people become too indulgent and do outrageous things, so naturally, they can't stand it!
"But you don't need to worry, they're not bad people, they won't be in danger." After reprimanding them, Kyoka reassured Megumi, who had changed back into her casual clothes.
"I-I wasn't scared at all~ Ms. Kyoka, you don't need to misunderstand... Although, it was indeed a little embarrassing~"
Hui quickly waved her hand to ease the tension and offered an explanation.
Although her face was flushed, she was too embarrassed to look at Kyoka.
After all, she had never met this person before...
Well, after all, she didn't marry Bai Ye, and she's already an adult with her own job, so naturally she won't just stay at her sister and brother-in-law's house forever.
Of course, she has a room here too, but she usually only comes and goes once or twice a week... three, four, five, six, or seven times a week, it's not very regular.
However, they usually come back quite late, so their arrival times are usually different from those of Hui, who gets out of school early.
Facing this serious-looking woman, Hui also felt somewhat restrained.
Although Kyoka's appearance just now helped her escape an awkward situation, it also put her in another kind of awkward situation.
At a classmate's house, wearing suspicious and shameful clothes, posing in unspeakable positions...
She doesn't look like a decent girl at all!
Although she always pretended to be an unconventional girl on the surface, appearing very mature, she actually knew her own situation best.
This is enough to be the most shameful thing that has ever happened to her in her life!
"I'm sorry, Sagiri's strange hobby is bothering you."
"N-No, not at all! It's a little strange, but I'm really happy to see this real side of Sagiri-chan!"
· ······Request flowers· ··
But even if she were given another chance, she felt she would still do the same thing!
After all, I've finally made some progress on my long-held wish, so what if it's embarrassing?
"...Is that so? Thank you."
Upon hearing this answer, Kyoka couldn't help but show a slightly surprised expression, and then smiled faintly at Megumi.
She knew the girl's identity because it had been about half a year since the girl had come over every day.
This time, Sagiri actually showed up here too, met her directly, and even treated her like a "model"...
Putting aside this terrible habit that she shares with her older sister (Akane), Sagiri has indeed made progress, which is a good thing.
"It's alright, it's alright~ But it's getting late, it's about time I headed back~"
Of course, she felt that this was enough for today; it was rare to make progress, and it was time to celebrate.
"Huh? You..." Upon hearing Megumi's words, Sagiri couldn't help but speak up.
But the last sentence was left unsaid, which puzzled Hui.
.. .. 0
"Hehe, is it because Megumi said she wanted to stay? Sagiri wants Megumi to stay~"
However, Byakuya smiled and revealed Sagiri's little secret. As her father, he could see through the little guy's intentions at a glance.
"Huh? Is that so? Then I'll stay~"
"Who, who wants it! I meant you should leave sooner!"
After being exposed, Sagiri was naturally too embarrassed to admit it, so she frantically shook her head and started pushing Megumi out.
"Hi, I'm leaving today... but I'll still come back tomorrow!"
"...Ugh, so annoying, don't come any closer."
But when she heard Megumi say that, Sagiri was also stunned for a moment, then blushed and muttered something under her breath.
Those who witnessed this scene, including Hui, naturally smiled knowingly.
"Well then, I'll be going now~ Come again tomorrow~!"
After saying that, Hui greeted everyone energetically, then happily turned and left.
All that remained were this family of five...
"Seriously, at least don't let friends who are visiting for the first time see this kind of thing."
At this moment, Kyoka's complaints resurfaced.
However, unlike her extremely serious demeanor before, she was now sitting next to Sagiri, who was next to Byakuya, and complaining with a hint of helplessness, her expression much more relaxed.
But actually, this is Kyoka's usual state.
She would act extremely serious when there were outsiders around.
But when she's with her family, she no longer hides her true self.
"We're not friends."
"It's such a hassle, that's why I have no friends."
