Ms. Chiko was startled by his sudden loud voice and said somewhat irritably, "What are you nodding for?"

"I want to marry them all!"

"what?"

"I mean! I want to marry Haruka, Takanashi, and Kurumi at the same time!"

"Furutegawa!" Takanashi's embarrassed voice suddenly rang out from upstairs.

Ms. Senko was stunned by his words, and after a long while, she laughed in exasperation, "Kurugawa-kun... are you playing a game about the Spring Festival?"

Chapter 131 Spring Festival (Part 3) (New Chapter)

Kotegawa was still kicked out.

The kind, generous, and amiable Ms. Chiko's beautiful eyes were filled with fire, but fortunately, being a teacher, she had a deep sense of self-restraint and did not say "get out" to this brat.

Kotegawa walked away sheepishly, but his retreating figure still carried an unwavering belief that would never waver, making Ms. Chiko's chest heave with anger.

The next morning, Qingkong and Youjia watched in a daze as he stretched and yawned as he walked down the stairs from the second floor.

Meeting the dazed gazes of the two girls staring up at him, he flashed a smile and greeted them, "Good morning."

"Good morning..." the two girls replied instinctively.

"Good morning!" The soft, crisp voice, still carrying a hint of babyishness, belonged to Amamiya Kazuki.

"Meow." The large white cat, with its elegant steps and graceful figure, also greeted us.

Youjia realized what was happening and asked in surprise, "What time did you get back?"

Kotegawa stepped down, reached out and pinched Haruka's cheek, leaned down and kissed her, and replied, "Around three in the morning."

"Three o'clock? No wonder I didn't hear the door open." Yujia said "Oh," and breathed a sigh of relief, like a useless homeowner who had failed in her duty by not catching the thief but then realized it wasn't her fault but the thief's cunning. In short, she had found a reason to comfort herself.

Kotegawa patted her on the shoulder.

Yu Jia, Qingkong: "..."

An hour later, the four people and the cat were all sitting at the dining table.

Having been hungry all night, Kotegawa held his large bowl and ate with slurping mouthfuls.

The two girls next to them also started to have a better appetite.

“Having a man in the family is actually quite nice, at least it whets the appetite,” Youjia said to Qingkong.

After the family finished their breakfast, they all went back to their rooms to tidy up.

Kotegawa, who always eats until he's about 80% full, didn't feel bloated. He changed into his school uniform, which he hadn't worn in a long time, dusted off his backpack, and slung it over his shoulder before going downstairs.

Yujia, who was already waiting for him, clicked her tongue and walked over, patted his belly, and put her ear to it to listen intently.

Kotegawa's stomach rumbled.

Yuka's eyes lit up immediately, and she waved to Haruka, saying, "Haruka, I heard thunder! Kotegawa's stomach really is another dimension!"

"Snapped!"

Kotegawa gave her a roasted chestnut.

After making a fuss for a while, the three older children waited for the kindergarten school bus to arrive and pick up Amamiya and Tsuki before locking the door and going to school, leaving the big white cat to watch the house.

As usual, the little bird, Yu Hana, was waiting for them at their doorstep, carrying their schoolbags in both hands.

Qingkong and Youjia exclaimed in unison, "Oh ha!"

Takanashi's eyes flickered, and she slightly turned her head to avoid Kotegawa's gaze before nodding to them without saying a word.

Kotekawa raised his hand, touched his nose, and lowered it. He clearly sensed a sharp gaze coming from the window of Takanashi's house.

The four walked together in silence.

However, Takanashi deliberately walked at the other end, keeping a distance of more than a meter from not only Kotegawa but also from Yuka Haruka.

Yuka and Haruka kept glancing at her as they walked past the shopping street intersection and the traffic light intersection. Finally, when they were almost at the school gate, Yuka couldn't help herself anymore. She sniffed herself repeatedly, looked at Takanashi, and said nervously, "Do we smell something? Only Kotegawa ate garlic this morning!"

Kotegawa couldn't help but chime in, "That's fried in oil, not eaten raw!"

"Hua Wu, what's wrong?" Qing Kong asked her, puzzled.

Takanashi first turned his head to look around before whispering, "No, it's not that. My mom won't let me play with Kotegawa anymore. She told me to keep my distance from him."

Kotegawa couldn't help but scratch his head again.

"Huh? Why is that?" Both girls looked at her blankly.

"Because..." Takanashi's scalp tingled, and her face flushed uncontrollably, all the way to the roots of her ears. Although she was extremely ashamed, she was also burning with anger. She pouted and said, "This guy said those kinds of things in front of my mom!"

"Huh? What? What did you say?" Yuka instantly turned her guns on Kotegawa, "What rude thing did you say to Senko-sensei?"

Kotegawa extended his right index finger and waved it in the air: "First of all, I didn't say anything rude to Senko-sensei, I just spoke the truth."

"Hmm?" The two girls turned their heads at the same time.

The little bird standing to the side stared wide-eyed, its cherry lips slightly parted, somewhat frightened.

This guy, this guy is really...

Qingkong had a vague guess in her mind, and tried asking, "What's the truth?"

"I said I must marry Seishu, Kurumi, and Takanashi," Kotegawa answered frankly.

The three girls next to him froze instantly.

Takanashi's head started steaming, as if making a sizzling sound. She covered her burning face with her hot hands, shielding her eyes.

But there was a subtle hint of shyness mixed with something else.

"So he wasn't just saying empty words, nor was he just teasing her; he was simply lusting after her body... He really did want to marry her..."

This sense of responsibility is quite sweet... "No way! Such a reliable child, marrying three? How can anyone say such a thing?! And dare to say it so confidently! If it were that bastard Shuren, I would have pulled his tendons out..." Her mother's frantic voice popped up in her mind again.

She quickly shook her head.

Qingkong, who was standing to the side, recovered from her petrified state first. She looked around, feeling somewhat helpless, amused and annoyed as she looked at Kotekawa. This guy, if you say he's a womanizer, he always does some shocking things, but he's also stubbornly cute, so you can't really get angry at him... But she must be out of her mind, otherwise how could she allow such a thing to happen?

In the past, this would have been a question that didn't even need to be considered.

Kotegawa, standing nearby, was also deep in thought, muttering to himself, "Whether or not we can impress Senko-sensei depends entirely on that matter..."

He'll go find Xia Mushuren and make Teacher Qianzi cry tears of joy, then take advantage of her excitement to get her to agree to this... No, no, no, isn't that a bit unfair?

He frowned.

Just then, an extremely surprised voice interrupted his thoughts: "Huh? Clear Sky, Flower Dance, Walnut? Where am I? Where am I? Huh?"

He glanced over instinctively and saw Yuka pointing to her chest, her eyes wide with surprise and uncertainty.

Qingkong and Takanashi both stared blankly at her.

Huh? What kind of "white drama" is this?

Uh……

The four of them stood silently in the swirling, cold wind.

Chapter 132 Spring Festival (Part 4) (New Chapter)

Having missed many days of school, Kotegawa was immediately drawn to the cheerful laughter and energetic figures on campus as he entered the school gate.

He remarked with some emotion, "The school is pretty good, isn't it?"

Jia chuckled beside him, "You've gone mad, haven't you? Today is the Spring Festival, no classes, of course it's lively!"

Kotegawa paused for a moment, then exclaimed, "Today is the Spring Festival! The Spring Festival..."

Teacher Qianzi said the same thing last night. He didn't understand what it meant at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he probably meant that he was playing a game like pretend.

They entered the campus and walked towards the teaching building, seeing many colorful paintings related to rice ears along the way.

The Spring Festival differs somewhat from the Cultural Festival and Campus Festival. The theme is limited to "spring," and participants can perform related plays, sing related songs to praise spring, or prepare spring ingredients to let people experience the flavors of spring.

In the afternoon, there will be a very solemn sacrificial dance performance in the stadium, led by real priests, with a grand and impressive scale.

In the past, I had only seen the spring festival on TV in Kotegawa.

"Is today's offering to Amaterasu or Inari? But one is the head of the Amatsu gods, and the other is just Kunitsu, so their statuses aren't quite equal..." This thought popped into his mind.

The four of them went back to their respective classes.

It was just like any other day.

As for why this happened, it's because when we were silent outside the school, Youjia laughed and said, "Just kidding."

The almost frozen atmosphere came alive.

……

Kotegawa returned to his seat, glanced at the empty seat of the little priest in the distance, and then turned to look at Takanashi.

Takanashi glanced over instantly and no longer tried to avoid it.

She suddenly wrinkled her nose and tossed a note over.

Kotegawa caught the paper and unfolded it, revealing two lines of delicate handwriting.

[You bastard...]

[That kind of thing... my mom says no way.]

Just then, another note flew over, and he picked it up casually.

[I...I only have my mother...]

Kotegawa took out paper and pen from his bag, wrote down a sentence, turned around and handed it to her.

The little bird snatched it away quickly, lay on the table, and waited a while before slowly opening it.
