A reversal of fortune and victory in a world hated by all girls!

……

"Sister, why did you drag me along when you wanted to come? I have so many things to do!"

"Okay, okay, I'll make it up to you later. Just this once, just today."

Mito Takahashi kept persuading Ayano, and the two of them also came to the riverbank where the fireworks festival was being held. Ayano didn't know what her sister was thinking. She didn't like watching fireworks either, and she hadn't gone to any of the fireworks festivals that were held every few months in the past few years. But this time it was just a relatively small-scale Tokyo fireworks festival, yet it had dragged her out. It was really strange.

Moreover, judging from her demeanor, the older sister also acted very strangely, always giving people a sneaky feeling.

"Could it be..." Ayano's clever little brain started working, and she slowly narrowed her eyes, "Aoi Natsuki will also be at this fireworks festival, right...? Tell the truth!"

Ayano immediately guessed her intentions, and a hint of panic flashed across Takahashi Midori's face, but she quickly hid it: "Don't make wild guesses. I just wanted to bring you out to see the world. Staying at home all the time will make you sick!"

Mito Takahashi spoke in a very serious tone, while Ayano stared at her with her eyes almost narrowed into slits.

"Sister...do you really have feelings for that boy...you've been acting very strangely lately. I've never seen you do anything for any boy before. You even went to his house the other day. Sister, you've changed..."

Ayano looked at her older sister with a puzzled expression, gradually considering all the possibilities in her mind, until she caught a glimpse of her sister's evasive gaze. A bold idea gradually formed in her heart.

"you!"

"..." Takahashi Mito stared at her, feeling flustered.

"Sister, you!"

No, don't say it!

"You haven't been modified by aliens, have you?!"

"..."

Eh?

Chapter 60: Ryū Sakura's Confession Causes an Explosion!

"What else could it be? Thinking about another possibility seems too unlikely. My sister would be happy..."

"Ah! Stop talking! Since we're already here, let's go for a walk together, forget about our daily worries, and have some fun, okay?" Takahashi Mito was so eager that she started gesturing wildly.

Something's wrong! Something's very wrong!

Ayano Takahashi began to seriously consider whether the human in front of her was truly her older sister.

Could it really be some kind of alien creature in disguise...?

……

the other side.

Aoi Natsuki and Hayakawa Keiko sat down at a small stall by the river. Rina was particularly interested in the things there, especially the goldfish scooping game. You use a paper net to scoop up goldfish and you can take them away immediately. However, the paper net is very easy to tear, so it requires a lot of patience and skill from the player.

Having received a large sum of money from Ryuzakura, Aoi Natsuki was now quite well-off, so she naturally let Rina have her fill of fun. Hayakawa Keiko, after failing twice, waved her hand and chose to sit down and chat with Natsuki.

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't bear to leave Li alone at home."

"It's alright, it's alright. To be honest, with Rina around, I'm not so nervous at all." Hayakawa Keiko's gaze fell on Rina, who was having fun, and her eyes were very gentle.

"That's good, your outfit today..."

"This outfit..." Hayakawa Keiko recalled how her parents hurriedly searched for her old yukata after she got home. It was rare for the family to be so busy. They had heard that she was meeting her classmates and wanted her to look as presentable as possible.

Is there a problem?

"No, no, no, I think it looks great." Aoi Natsuki quickly replied. As soon as the praise came out, Hayakawa Keiko shrank her body. She was only 1.5 meters tall and probably weighed less than 70 kilograms, making her look even more petite.

At this moment, Natsuki Aoi noticed her surroundings. Apart from the aroma of barbecue, all she could see were men and women, just as she had expected. Most of them were young men and women, and they looked just like they were now.

"Ugh! Ugh!"

Lina suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

Aoi turned her head and saw a small goldfish lying on the paper net in her hand. The next second, the lively goldfish jumped out of the paper net and landed on the shop floor. Lina was surprised and quickly bent down to look for it.

Aoi Natsuki looked up at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled and squinted, "As long as water comes out, it's a success. I'll get you a bag to put it in."

The shopkeeper was quite reasonable; once the goldfish was put into a small bag filled with water, Lina's gaze remained fixed on it.

Since the writing board was inconvenient to carry, Lily used sign language for him the whole time.

Then, Lina seemed to remember something and excitedly gave Natsuki a series of sign language gestures.

After reading it, Aoi Natsuki's expression hardened: "No way, we made a deal before we left."

Lina then looked disappointed, but that was all she could do.

Keiko Hayakawa turned her head to look at the two of them and said cautiously, "Did Rina mean she wanted to eat another skewer of dumplings?"

"Huh?" Natsuki Aoi turned around in surprise. "Yes, Hayakawa, you know what this sign language means too."

"Um... Last time, Mito and Lili communicated using sign language, so I specifically learned it... But! But I'm still a beginner! There's still a lot I don't understand, and I can't communicate using sign language yet. Yes, I'm sorry!" Hayakawa suddenly bowed and apologized.

"What's there to apologize for?" Aoi Natsuki said helplessly. Hayakawa is good in every way, except that her personality is too shy, making her easy to bully, and she almost developed a people-pleasing personality before. Fortunately, Takahashi is not a bad person, otherwise it would have been terrible.

"I think it's okay for Lina to have a skewer after we've finally come out to have some fun, right? She's a child after all, and any extra sugar can be used to help her grow."

"I'm mainly worried about her stomach..." Natsuki Aoi said, glancing down at Rina's teary eyes...

Really.

"Share a skewer with Hayakawa, you can't eat one by yourself!"

In the end, he compromised.

Lina shouted excitedly, and Hayakawa smiled and stuck out his tongue at Lina.

The longer they spent together, the more Hayakawa's playful side gradually emerged.

The relationship between the two, one big and one small, has also rapidly warmed up today.

……

"Ah! That's it!"

Ayano Takahashi and her sister were crossing a bridge when Ayano suddenly shouted. Mito Takahashi was also attracted by Ayano's voice and immediately saw Natsuki Aoi and her two sisters walking slowly along the riverbank.

"Hey, isn't that Natsuki Aoi? And Hayakawa, Rina! Let's go up and say hello!" Ayano Takahashi was especially enthusiastic about meeting old acquaintances. She was about to run off the bridge when her older sister pulled her back.

She looked at her sister with a blank expression.

"Don't go down! We'll just watch from here."

"Look? Even a duck that's already in your mouth can fly away. A person moving around like this will be gone in a few more glances!"

“I said I’ll watch, so watch. Listen to me, I’m the older sister!” Takahashi Mito struck a pose as the older sister.

Yes, yes, yes, being born six minutes earlier than her is remarkable.

Ayano Takahashi sighed, her gaze falling once more on the three people who were about to disappear into the crowd. Two seconds later, she uttered a sound of surprise.

"They stopped."

"It's perfectly normal to stop."

"Hmm... Ah! It turns out I ran into someone I know, and it's a girl!"

"Huh?" Takahashi Mito, who hadn't wanted to pay attention, immediately leaned over the bridge railing, frowned slightly, and quickly located the positions of Aoi Natsuki and the other two.

Then he looked at the girl who had spoken to him...

she is!

"Ayano, the plan has changed. Let's get even closer!"

"Huh? When did we have a plan?"

"Temporary Plan A, come with me off the bridge!"

Mito Takahashi pulled a bewildered Ayano along and quickly ran off the bridge, slowly closing the distance between them.

……

"Oh, Ryuzakura, I really didn't expect to meet you here." Aoi Natsuki looked at Ryuzakura, who was leaning on a single crutch and wearing black casual clothes. Really? She can go on a long trip after only two days...?

And he looks very energetic, not at all like someone who is hospitalized.

“I remember you are…” Hayakawa also remembered her; Ryuzakura had once pinched her face hard, and she still remembered it vividly!

"I came because I wanted to see you." Yuji Ryuzakura's gaze was fixed on the boy in front of her, her eyes as fiery and intense as the one Aoi had seen during the fire!

“Natsuki…”

"W-what's wrong?" Aoi Natsuki suddenly stumbled.

"Be my man, Natsuki!"

Yuji Ryuzakura clenched her fists and shouted loudly.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Aoi Natsuki was utterly shocked, but a thousand words stuck in her throat, finally escaping to her lips in a single utterance: "Huh?"

Keiko Hayakawa: "Huh! (Shocked)"

Not far away, behind a small stall, Takahashi Mito and Ayano suddenly peeked out.

Mito Takahashi: "Huh??? (Very loudly)"

Ayano: "Alas!"

Behind a large poplar tree behind them, Sakurajima Anne slowly turned to reveal her true face. She had seen everything, and her smile became even more arrogant.

"This is getting more and more interesting..."
