Tokyo Soft Rice King.

Didn't you guys change my name to Tianyu? Then Tianyu only needs me.

Of course, she still prefers to restore her original surname, Jiu Yu, and her brother should also restore their parents' surname, so that they can feel more like siblings.

Everything returned to normal, as if they had never been separated.

Chapter 464 The Words and Deeds of Embracing Women on Both Sides

Seeing that everyone had already shed their worldly desires and switched to work mode, discussing what to do when they got back, Makoto had no choice but to give up.

"Sigh... I'll go think of some new songs then. I've only written two for the new album for Miss Ziyin."

Makoto's main job at Shiki Productions right now is composing and writing lyrics for Shion, who is about to debut as a singer. She herself has no plans to become a singer; she prefers creating songs to performing live.

On another note, Makoto also contributes to a fashion magazine popular among high school girls through Saotome Fuyumi's connections, mainly writing about outfit suggestions.

Zhencheng said that her current level is not yet up to par and she needs to accumulate more experience and learn from other people's designs, but she will probably still develop in the direction of fashion designer in the future, since she personally prefers making clothes.

The two sisters are now doing what they want to do, and they have the corresponding talents, so they naturally enjoy it.

So, Hitomi Anri's strategy was indeed very effective. By increasing the proportion of time spent developing her career path, people wouldn't be so attached to Akira Kuroba.

However, there are still times when I feel suppressed. If it were in the past, I would definitely have dealt with it myself. But now, because of the empathy, once I take action, the other side will also feel it, and I will feel... especially embarrassed.

Makoto didn't want her sister to know because she knew her sister would laugh at her and then relentlessly urge and harass her, trying to persuade the two of them to seduce Kuroba Akira. She knew he couldn't resist the sister's bowl.

Makoto, however, never actually did. It wasn't that she had become a lady, but rather that she also had concerns about her self-esteem.

She already has a man, yet she still insists on doing it herself, even using toys. Is that reasonable? If her younger sister finds out, won't she laugh at her for being inferior to Tong?

As a result, the two sisters were like they were competing with each other, neither of them generating any energy. So, since the year-end indulgence, Makoto has never properly let loose even once.

So I had accumulated a lot of primal urges... I was thinking that I could take advantage of everyone being here and let loose, but it all fell through because of the commotion caused by Akira Kuroba's sister, which was a huge disappointment.

Seeing her depressed expression, Kuroba Akira comforted her.

"If you really can't stand the loneliness, Makoto, I can lend you a hand..."

Makoto was actually a little tempted, but then she thought that if she were the only one to benefit, her sister would probably turn evil again, and this time her sister's jealousy would be directed at her alone... She didn't want the hard-won sisterly relationship to crack again because of a man.

Makoto knew that given Makoto's personality, she definitely wouldn't be able to bring herself to accept Kuroba Akira's charity right now, just like at the end of the year, unable to let go of her girlish pride.

She wants something but doesn't dare to say it, and if she doesn't get it, she'll throw a tantrum... What a troublesome little sister.

If you, Shin-chan, were half as proactive as Akira Kuroba's sister, you would probably have already taken off your virginity... Now, your older sister is going to refuse this rare special treatment in order to take care of your feelings.

Makoto glanced at Makoto, then at Tsukimi Rii, and then waved her hand and said.

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood for it anymore. It's like I'm the only one who wants to do something bad... Besides, there's no first place anymore, so there's no point in fighting for second place. There's no difference between second and tenth place anyway. In the end, only the first place gets the 'title reward'."

The first place has already been decided, and there's no point in continuing to compete. Another round would just be for pure enjoyment.

"Besides, it's so boring for me to be alone. I want multiple times the fun this time. If you can win over Zhencheng, I can experience the feeling of multiple times over. Wouldn't that be awesome?"

At that moment, Makoto, with the same terrifying smile as Hitomi Anri, pressed down on Akira Kuroba's shoulder and reminded him.

"Kuroba-kun, have you forgotten that my sister's feelings are also shared with me?"

"Uh, no... Actually, I'm also a little curious. If the two of you work together, how much will it stack up... Just twice, or can it stack back and forth? If it stacks back and forth, what's the limit? What's the highest it can reach..."

It's actually similar to increased sensitivity, right?

But it shouldn't be as exaggerated as the Demon Ninja, like their combat power has increased by thousands of times... For ordinary people, even just two or three times would be enough to make them faint or even have nosebleeds.

If it gets any higher, there's a risk of sudden death, which would truly be a case of 'dying from pleasure'.

Zhencheng rolled her eyes and complained.

"You can make my sister a fool all you want, but don't treat my body like a toy! I don't want to burn my brain out!"

It's clear that Zhencheng is also worried about this issue. She had already tested it at the anime convention before. The closer she was to her sister, the stronger the empathy was. If she were to actually stand next to her sister... she didn't know how embarrassing it would be. Just thinking about it made her feel ashamed.

"I've made up my mind! I will never be with my sister again, no matter what! If my sister is there, it's not me!"

Upon hearing this, Makoto was horrified and immediately rushed over to hug her sister's leg, wailing in pain.

"Ah! No! I can accept everyone else, but I can't live without you, Zhencheng! We're best sisters, bound by a single heart! We'll be buried together if we die! We'll have children together! My child will continue to be your child's older sister!"

"Let me go! You stupid sister! Who wants to have a baby with you!"

The scene of the two sisters playfully bickering made the atmosphere much more relaxed.

Furthermore, Akira Kuroba's suggestion to comfort Makoto put everyone at ease.

Yes, there will be other opportunities in the future anyway.

You can have children even if you don't get married.

Ultimately, even if Kuroba Akira got married, Tsukimi Rii was only his wife in name only. She had no legitimate right to restrict Kuroba Akira from sleeping with other women.

Thinking about it this way, this wife is really quite pitiful. She knows that her husband is having affairs outside and can't complain at all. She can only pretend not to see it. After all, if she is dissatisfied, Kuroba Akira can divorce her immediately... This is almost like a political marriage. There is not a single bit of affection between the husband and wife.

Tsukimi Ran also felt extremely awkward. They weren't even officially engaged or married yet, and she was already destined to be the victim? This was too much!

No, I can't think like that. Kuroba Akira isn't my man, nor is he my possession... I can't let these perverted women lead me astray.

As Tsukimi Ryou closed her eyes to compose herself, Myōen Yomi noticed her best friend's change in expression and secretly chuckled to herself.

This is... jealousy awakening.

If you don't care about the other person at all, how can you feel jealous?

If you feel jealous, it means your level of affection has reached the standard of 'liking'.

It seems that true friendship is revealed in times of hardship.

Yiyi, your choice of first love is just too popular...

If she can simply enjoy happiness like I do, that's fine. But if she gives away her heart too, she'll only become more and more miserable later on.

Then it will start to resemble... those two over there more and more.

Both Anri Hitomi, who remained silent, and Murasomiya Shion, who was also silent, exuded an aura of 'do not approach'.

Apart from Kuroba Akira, no one knew what they were thinking at that moment, and no one dared to speak to them, lest they detonate a powder keg.

Kuroba Akira didn't dare to provoke them. He could offer comfort to the thick-skinned Makoto as compensation, but if he asked the two of them for sex in return, it would probably only make them angrier and feel that he was insulting their feelings.

Now all we can do is let the two of them calm down on their own...

Since no one else wanted him by name, Kuroba Akira decided to go to a hot spring to relax.

"Then, I'll go soak in a hot spring..."

Akira Kuroba originally planned to go to the public hot spring like on the first day, but Haruka suggested it to him.

"Kuroba-kun, why don't you just soak in the room? There's no need to go to a public bath; the hot springs here are of much better quality, you know?"

"Uh... this isn't about continuing the party we couldn't start yesterday, is it? I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow... then you guys will have to carry me back to Tokyo."

The same problem remains: without Black Tail, and without any backup hidden energy source, one or two can manage, but if everyone attacks together, Xiaoming will definitely be drained dry.

"Don't worry, I promise I won't let anyone with ulterior motives to come in and disturb you. Besides, it would be really embarrassing to dirty someone else's hot spring pool."

"Okay...then I won't stand on ceremony."

Kuroba Akira did not refuse. Since Haru was guarding the gate, there was no need to worry about repeated hot spring incidents. After all, the suggestion to guard the house was a plan offered by the strategist Haru.

After Kuroba Akira exited through the small door on the other side of the room that led to the outdoor hot spring, Haruka stepped into the super-gravity domain and started talking to the two gravity sources.

"Xiaotong and Ziyin, why don't you go relax in the hot springs too?"

"..."

The combined terrifying gazes seemed to want to devour Qingxia alive.

Even without saying a word, everyone could feel their anger.

Are you pitying us?

But Qingxia remained calm and smiled as she spoke.

"I just told Kuroba-kun that I won't let people with other motives in, so I believe you'll just be soaking in the hot springs."

He relieved himself of the immense pressure with just one sentence.

"I think it's better to say what you want to say in person, okay? Even if Kuroba-kun knows you all very well, it's hard for him to express anything if you don't say it directly."

Qingxia meant that she wasn't giving them a chance because they were pitiful, but rather because she wanted them to have a heart-to-heart talk with Heiyu Ming.

"...That's true, thank you, Xia."

Anri Hitomi resumed her usual gentle smile, and Shion's expression also softened considerably.

"Going to a wise ruler for comfort now would be too pathetic, but it's definitely necessary to have a talk..."

Makoto rolled her eyes. Well, she almost became the number one loser. Luckily, she managed to hold back.

The rest of the group breathed a sigh of relief. It was definitely Qingxia who could persuade those two terrifying people…

The lubricant of the harem, truly lives up to its name!

This family will fall apart without you!

After Ziyin stood up, she looked at Yuejianli Lanyi with a blank expression. This woman, whose career path overlapped with her own, had obtained the position she had always dreamed of... Where was the difference between her and her?

It's all about luck.

Although meeting a wise ruler at the shrine during his most helpless time was already the greatest fortune of his life, this woman was even luckier than him.

"Hold on to your current position with all your might, I'll catch up soon and take your place."

It refers not only to her position as an entertainer, but also to her position as a legal wife.

"You're just a newcomer, yet you're so arrogant... Now you're the challenger."

Tsukimi Ran was very unhappy, and a sense of crisis arose from the bottom of her heart.

They no longer need to rely on her to gain more popularity, so they have completely entered a state of hostility.

But this also means that I have finally caught her eye and been officially regarded as her rival, right?

She's being targeted by a terrifying woman... but Tsukimi Riyan feels a little excited at the same time.

I only entered the entertainment industry before to pass on my faith to Kikuri, but now that I have a competitor who can rival me, I feel that my entertainment career won't be so boring anymore.

Being invincible is too lonely; it's much more fun to fight against others.
