Tokyo Soft Rice King.

Women love to be complimented on their beauty, especially by someone they like. It makes them genuinely happy and puts them in a good mood all day.

Furthermore, Makoto knew that Kuroba's words were definitely not flattery, but rather a genuine appreciation for the film, and that he might even receive some special treatment in return...

No, no, no! How did my way of thinking become like my sister's?! Isn't this turning into trying to seduce Kuroba-kun just to get his 'praise'?!

"And it's not just us who get praise; Ming also gets some time to relax and rest his eyes. Look at him now, he clearly lacks time to relax. Even when he's with us, he acts like he's doing business!"

"That...that's true..."

Kuroba Akira is very busy, so busy that he doesn't seem like a high school student at all, but more like a working adult.

Not long ago, on Valentine's Day, we all made him some handmade chocolates, but he was still working on a manuscript with Mengmeng that day and even forgot that it was Valentine's Day.

But because Kuroba Akira was working hard for everyone, no one could help him put on the brakes, and they didn't know what to do.

Perhaps he will only be able to catch his breath once he finishes his current tasks.

But will there really be a day when all this work will be over?

Things will only keep coming one after another; there's never enough work to do.

"Because he's completely focused on us, serving us wholeheartedly, his goal is to make us ecstatic, right? If this continues, he'll eventually become a heartless machine that gives women pleasure, but he won't be able to enjoy himself!"

"Um……"

Makoto nodded silently, having unknowingly been drawn into Makoto's train of thought.

If they were to be together, she wanted Kuroba Akira to be happy, not just herself to be the only one who found happiness in him.

If you're together, you should fulfill each other's needs; that's the right way to be, isn't it?

"And if he's always so tense, everyone working with him won't have time to relax either, because seeing him working so hard makes them unable to let their guard down... If this continues, everyone will eventually collapse from exhaustion!"

Although Makoto's words might make Makoto doubt how her older sister could possibly care about everyone's situation, there's nothing wrong with what she said.

"So our goal is to open a private cosplay café in Ming's house! We want to make our previous group travel trips more like everyday life, so that everyone can have a place to relax!"

"Is this a cosplay cafe where only Kuroba-kun is a customer...?"

"It's not just about Ming. We can let other people come and visit. They might just be customers at first, but if they see us cosplaying and using this method to seduce Ming, they'll definitely want to follow suit. It's actually an 'arms race'!"

Although Zhencheng was a little annoyed that her older sister used the cosplay outfits she made as 'weapons', on the other hand, her sister didn't look down on her because of these indecent cosplay outfits. Instead, she felt that she could make use of them, which made her feel that making these outfits was also valuable.

"That way, if everyone gets into the mood, we can easily turn it into a nightclub, hehehehe..."

Makoto let out an evil laugh. As expected, her ultimate goal was to drag everyone down with her and eventually turn them into a multi-person flexible team of Silver Hands.

However, it must be said that the older sister's crooked idea does have some merit.

In addition, Zhencheng also secretly wanted to make clothes for everyone... especially for Ziyin and Lanyi. With top-quality 'materials' right in front of her, she really wanted to dress them up.

Furthermore, if it's a private exhibition only for Akira Kuroba, the costumes can be designed to be even bolder; Shinichi's design desires are already stirring.

Although her sister's motives were impure, after careful consideration, Zhencheng felt that she could support her sister this time.

“Okay, what you said does make some sense… Kuroba-kun does need a place and time to relax right now, and we really can’t let everyone keep going at his pace.”

To her surprise, her younger sister didn't pour cold water on her this time, but instead went along with her. Makoto was overjoyed and hugged her sister tightly, snuggling against her and exclaiming with delight.

"Really?! Sister, you've finally figured it out! That's fantastic! If we sisters team up, we'll definitely secure a place among the favored concubines!"

"I'm not after that kind of status..."

However, if it makes Kuroba-kun like it more... then it's an extra bonus.

"Hehe, this way we can make up for the gap caused by the tricks of fate!"

"A cruel twist of fate?"

“Makoto, have you forgotten? Akira mentioned it before, right? When he first came to Tokyo, he had two choices: one was to stay at a shrine, and the other was to stay at the Saionji family’s house. If he had stayed at your house back then, you would have been the first person to meet Akira. There would have been no chance for Hitomi and Shion… Sigh, what a pity.”

"Oh, you mean this, sister... But even if Kuroba-kun had chosen to live in my house back then, given my mindset at the time, I probably wouldn't have cared about him. It wouldn't have turned into a bittersweet cohabitation like Shion-san's."

"Since he can restore you to your original state, he can definitely help you in another timeline!"

"Hmph... But even if I really do get together with Kuroba-kun, once you find out, you'll definitely try to sabotage me under the guise of 'testing my little sister's boyfriend,' right?"

"Uh...no, really?"

Makoto looked away guiltily.

She would definitely do that.

If your beloved younger sister is taken away by another man, you'll definitely want to test him to see what kind of man he is and whether he's worthy of your sister.

"It would be strange if it didn't happen. And then Kuroba-kun happens to be the type you really like, so if you also fall for Kuroba-kun, with your awful personality, you'll try to steal your sister's man or try to get a share of me... which will make me really conflicted and feel really bad."

The younger sister really knows her shameless older sister all too well.

"I...I won't steal my sister's man...I'll wish you both well!"

"Hehe, if I believed you, I wouldn't be your sister anymore. In that case, let alone the sisters getting back together, we would definitely become enemies. It's better to be like this now. Kuroba-kun belongs to everyone, so at least I won't experience the despair of having my man stolen by my sister."

"Woooo..."

Makoto was so ashamed by her sister's words that she couldn't face anyone. Although she knew that her personality was a bit "outspoken", being completely exposed by her sister and being disliked to this extent made her lose all face and pride as the older sister.

Although that kind of thing seems to have never existed in the first place.

"And sister, you should really thank yourself for meeting Kuroba-kun. Besides being able to repair your relationship with me, you're only able to find a decent job thanks to Kuroba-kun. I can already imagine what a hopeless good-for-nothing you would have become if you hadn't met Kuroba-kun..."

"Damn it! In your eyes, Makoto, am I such a useless woman? I used to work at a bookstore before I met Akira!"

"That's because you want something, right? Anyway, that's just how you are, sister. You don't have any motivation if it's not for something you like."

Conversely, it can also be said that Makoto will go to great lengths to get what she likes, no matter what.

This time was no different. If she didn't genuinely like Kuroba Akira, she wouldn't have racked her brains to come up with such a bizarre idea as opening a cosplay cafe at his house.

This can also be described as a straightforward expression, demonstrating courage that ordinary people do not possess.

While others were still hesitating, Makoto had already taken action, so sometimes Makoto admired and longed for her older sister...

But I won't say these things to her face, because if I tell my sister, she'll definitely get carried away.

"However, as soon as you have a little spare money, you think about having fun, so you can't save any money at all, right? Someone like you will definitely become a spendthrift after you start working, and may even end up with a mountain of debt."

"Then I'll have to rely on my sister to support me."

"I don't want to! Sister, you can continue to be a shameless woman, fawning over and wagging your tail at Kuroba-kun. If you keep him happy, maybe Kuroba-kun will take pity on you and reluctantly keep you as a pet at home."

"Heh, do you think I'm that lowly? But thinking about it, being Ming's pet is actually pretty good. They provide food, drink, and care, and even give me pocket money... Maybe I should volunteer myself."

Look at this woman, she's so depraved, truly beyond saving.

"But then again, Kuroba-kun is getting engaged to Tsukimi-san soon, right? Are you going to cause trouble at this crucial moment, sister? Tsukimi-san certainly doesn't want to see her husband running some kind of private Kotobuki cosplay café at home before the wedding."

"Was their marriage just a sham?"

"That's true, but I don't think a strong-willed woman like her would simply give up what she's already got."

Power is addictive, and Makoto, who was once the student council president, knows this very well.

She may not have had many feelings for Kuroba Akira before marriage, but that may change after marriage.

Putting herself in her husband's shoes, Makoto felt that if she were Kuroba Akira's official wife, she would definitely forbid her sister from seeing her husband again.

What kind of fake sisterhood is it? It's worthless in front of your husband.

"It's alright, I've already thought of a way to force her to accept it!"

"Hmm? Sister, what kind of wicked idea have you come up with this time?"

"Look... a wedding dress can be considered a form of cosplay, right?"

"……what……"

"So if it's 'just cosplay,' then anyone can wear it, right? You can, I can, everyone can. It's not just Tsukimi Ryoui who can wear it, right?"

"...Sister, you might really be a genius."

"Hehe, I'm a genius!"

……

Back to the present, Makoto's next words after loudly objecting were...

"Since it's an informal wedding without citizenship, let's just have everyone attend!"

The wedding dress is so beautiful, so we let everyone try it on.

"As the bride!"

Who says you can only have one bride?

Chapter 474 He Likes Me Too

"You are... Hikawa, right?"

Tsukimi Ranyi searched her memory for a moment before finally remembering her name.

"Oh? You actually remembered my name? That's quite an honor. I thought big stars wouldn't remember the names of small fry like us."

Makoto's words were not only self-deprecating, but also carried a mockery of Tsukimi Rii.

But this statement cannot be said to be wrong.

Lan Yi doesn't really have a deep memory of the others, mainly because Anri Hitomi and Shion Shinomiya are too dazzling. So her impression of the other girls is only a vague label like 'Kuroba Akira's woman'.

The one I remember most is Haruka, because she stopped Anri Hitomi and Shion Murasaki from turning to the dark side, and her role as a mediator is something she remembers.

Lan Yi completely ignored Hikawa Makoto's provocation and the words she had just shouted, and greeted Makoto behind her.

"And the person behind him must be Saionji-kun."

"Yes, hello, Tsukimi-kun. And I'm sorry to bother you, Kuroba-kun. I came here without saying hello and I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"No, no, I already said last time that you are welcome to come to my house anytime."

Kuroba Akira breathed a sigh of relief, feeling extremely grateful to the twin sisters who had appeared at the most opportune moment.

With them around, Lan Yi won't be able to get away with it easily.

Especially Makoto, she's a master at stirring up trouble, she'll definitely give Lan Yi a shocking surprise.

As expected, Makoto persisted, pressing for answers.
