If I don't capture the girl, I will die

She has no shortage of money and doesn't need anything. She just wants her brother to be with her!

Uh... no, no, thinking this way made the sense of déjà vu even worse.

However, of course, it was impossible for Sagiri to say this out loud, so she could only express it in a more euphemistic way: "I...I don't want it. Brother, just find some time to teach me how to cook."

"Is this what you're looking for me for? I think it's okay. It just so happens that I won't be so busy starting tomorrow. I'll teach you whatever Sagiri wants to learn."

Ji Qi nodded. Contrary to her perfect appearance, Sagiri's cooking talent was only average at best, and she learned very slowly. He didn't care about this. He was very happy that his sister had transformed from a useless person who could only draw and stay at home to her current level.

"I just missed you, idiot."

Seeing Ji Qi agreeing readily, the silver-haired beauty was happy and clenched her snow-white hand slightly behind her back. Her inner thoughts were racing. Ah, when would the relationship between her and her brother make any substantial progress?

Although Sagiri couldn't go out, she was very concerned about the situation around Ji Qi and found out about the current situation through various means.

Other women were able to develop their relationships with their brothers steadily, but she was the only one who was standing still...

This absolutely cannot go on!

Don't be careless and give other thieving cats a chance just because you have an advantage!

Chapter 387 I Only Have My Brother (Fourth Update)

(Fourth update completed! I did it by writing 9000 words in one night!)

Although he knew that Sagiri had some strange feelings for him, he hadn't expected that she was thinking about how to conquer someone of his level all day long. So Ji Qi simply walked into the girl's boudoir and chatted with her for a long time.

How to say it, although they live under the same roof, strictly speaking, Sagiri and Himeshichi don't have many intersections.

For example, Himechi has to go to school, while Sagiri can only play games and draw in her room, which greatly limits the time they can spend together.

Originally, it was a big honor for Sagiri to draw illustrations for Sword Art Online as Eromanga's teacher, but unfortunately, Himeshichi is not an ordinary person. He has a wide range of interests, and novels are only a part of his career, not all of it. This distracted the two from the topic.

There is another part of the strategy mission that Sagiri doesn't know about...

In short, due to various coincidences, the relationship between the two is temporarily stuck here and cannot move forward.

If there is no opportunity, it will probably take a long time.

With a strong sense of inner crisis, Sagiri does not intend to sit still and wait for death. She plans to abandon some of her tsundere and reserve and take the initiative to do something!

Maybe for other girls, Ji Qi is not the only one. They still have relatives and friends, and they can live well without Ji Qi.

But she only has her brother left.

So please, please don't take away the meaning of my existence...

After going through all kinds of events, Sagiri, who was left with only that one person by her side and only that one person in her eyes, thought silently in her heart when she heard her brother talking about other girls.

……

the next day.

After having a heart-to-heart talk with Sagiri, Ji Qida excitedly jumped out of bed early in the morning and looked through the system in his mind.

Should I say it's worthy of maintenance? The original system meeting full of third-rate gal atmosphere disappeared, replaced by gorgeous special effects, although only he could see it.

Ji Qi clicked on the save page and silently saved the current situation.

Just like the function of galgame, when the file is saved, the save function temporarily turns gray, and then the loading interface displays the precise time, date, picture, and number limit.

Let's try again tonight or tomorrow.

Ji Qi, who couldn't wait to try out the function, changed his mind and realized that there were only three chances to reload the game a month and it couldn't be wasted.

By the way, I need to remember the lottery numbers for the next two days.

As an African, Ji Qi never bought anything related to probability before, but being able to predict the future is a different story!

Ji Qi opened his computer and looked at the long string of zeros behind the first prize. He thought it would take him three or four years to earn this much money even if he didn't eat or drink and made an animation. But now...

He suppressed his desire for money, knowing that he had to take it one step at a time, so he went to the bathroom to wash up, and a new day began.

When the comic convention was about to start, Ji Qi and Hui, who were ready, met up at the old place.

"Senior, good afternoon." Kato Megumi greeted him with a gentle smile.

"Good afternoon, Hui."

At first he was a little nervous, not knowing how to get along with Kato Megumi in the presence of other club members. But after they met, he realized that he was overthinking.

It was as if what happened yesterday had never happened. Kato Megumi had no expression on her face, and the way she addressed him changed from "Ji Nana-kun" to simply "senior", and there was no sign of anything unusual in her attitude.

Only when their eyes occasionally met and some small details, based on Ji Qi's understanding of Kato Megumi, did he realize that Kato Megumi was just pretending.

Shy?

Or is there something else going on?

Considering the girl's opinion, Ji Qi, who didn't quite understand, simply followed her. After all, what happened last night only made the two of them understand each other's status in their hearts, and they had not yet revealed that layer of relationship directly.

His relationship with Kasumigaoka Utaha is probably similar.

I had a subtle feeling that he was sliding towards the abyss step by step... and I could only watch him.

The following days were just like the previous two days, without any disturbances.

After packing up the stall, selling things, and buying things, the comic exhibition ended successfully. With intentional concealment, what happened between Ji Qi and Kato Megumi yesterday was not discovered by the remaining two girls. Only Kasumigaoka Shiyu's suspicious eyes wandered back and forth between the two people's faces from time to time, which made Ji Qi couldn't help but complain that Shiyu was born in the year of the dog, with such a keen sense of smell.

Walking on the way home with the girls, Ji Qi touched his chin, thinking about how to use his golden finger to give the girls some benefits?

If one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit. There are only so many people he cares about, and there are only so many people he has hurt. If there is any way he can compensate them in the slightest, Ji Qi will do it without hesitation.

It has to be said that although Ji Qi often mocks himself as a scumbag, his feelings towards girls are still very sincere and pure.

It's okay to win the lottery once or twice, but if you win too many times, it would be too conspicuous and easily arouse suspicion from others.

Combined with the status of the girls...

So it would be more appropriate to let him manage the money, then throw it all into the financial market and return it to them, right? They don't have the initial capital for investment.

Of course this is just a vague plan. It's too early to think about this now.

At least we have to wait until he has achieved some results so that others will believe in him.

Ji Qi shook his head and temporarily put aside the thoughts that were flooding in like a tide.

"...Why do you seem absent-minded today? Which decent girl are you planning to harm? Or are you feeling drained and uncomfortable?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu, whose whole mind was almost entirely on Ji Qi, keenly noticed every subtle change in him. Shiyu's slender legs moved gently, and she walked to Ji Qi and asked quietly. Her tone was as venomous as ever, mixed with her true feelings.

"No, I'm very healthy." Ji Qi, who automatically filtered out the girl's venomous tongue and was left with only her concern, felt warm in his heart and said softly.

The girl in black silk stockings pursed her lips, smiled mischievously, and complained to Ji Qi: "That's right. After all, the younger generation is the legendary protagonist of the light novel, and you must be a virgin now~"

"What's wrong with being a virgin? Did I eat your rice?" Perhaps other boys would feel overwhelmed and shy when being teased by Kasumigaoka Utaha, but Ji Qi admitted it generously. With a mature mentality, he would not think it was a shameful thing.

"No, I really like it."

While discussing the topic of 'sex' with the boys, Kasumigaoka Utaha gently lifted the black hair at her temples, and her mature and cold face took on some attractive pink.

In fact, most girls are not so averse to this topic. On the contrary, if they have a good relationship with each other, they will often joke about similar things in private.

However, there are probably only two people who can make Shiyu say this, one is Ji Qi and the other is Eriri.

Kato Megumi...

Their relationship hasn't reached that level yet, or rather, Shiyu would instinctively feel a sense of discomfort.

When talking to Hime Nana Eiri, she is confident that she can take the initiative, but Kato Megumi is not like that.

Eriri, who accidentally overheard their explosive conversation, even blushed at the roots of her ears. Fortunately, she was wearing a hat so no one noticed anything unusual.

While complaining about Kasumigaoka Utaha's shamelessness, Eriri couldn't help but continue to prick up her ears and eavesdrop.

As for Kato Megumi, she made full use of her remaining Akarin qualities and quietly watched the intimate posture of the two.

"If you have any worries, you can always tell me. It's what a senior should do to help a junior solve his problems. Whether it's psychological or physical."

Seeing that Ji Qi seemed to be fine, Kasumigaoka Utaha was relieved. But in a blink of an eye, she couldn't control her character of teasing people and telling dirty jokes.

"How long are you going to keep playing this joke... Although you are a few months older than me."

Ji Qi said helplessly, he knew very well that Kasumigaoka Utaha had good intentions, but the words changed in an instant when they came out of her mouth!

"Hey, so Junior-kun knows my birthday?"

Realizing the information revealed by Ji Qi's casual words, Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped moving forward slightly, feeling a little surprised and delighted in her heart, but of course on the surface she pretended to be indifferent.

"January 1, Aquarius, right? I think you fit the eccentric and paranoid personality of Aquarius very well."

Ji Qi nodded. This was information he had received a long time ago.

"Hmm... Junior-kun is really a pervert. He actually secretly investigated girls' birthdays."

Kasumigaoka Utaha gently fixed the white hairband on her head. Where Ji Qi couldn't see, the corners of her mouth curled up in a tiny sweet arc, and her tone changed unconsciously.

As a semi-campus idol and celebrity, many people knew her birthday. In the past, she would receive countless gifts and love letters at school on her birthday, which made her very annoyed. In the end, if she had to go to school on her birthday, she would just ask for leave, and the situation only got better.

But all those people put together are not as important as he is now.

This time Ji Qi was silent, because Kasumigaoka Utaha had guessed it right! He had learned this from secretly looking through the student list when he was helping Hiratsuka Shizuka at school.

"Am I right?"

Both of them have high emotional intelligence. After spending several months together day and night, they already know each other very well. Seeing Ji Qi's attitude, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had mentioned it casually, smiled even brighter. She asked with a smile, not caring at all about her image as an ice goddess in the eyes of others.

Ji Qi turned his head away, "No!"

"Oh my, are you being tsundere, Junior? I didn't expect your tsundere is surprisingly cute. Much cuter than a certain golden retriever."

Chapter 388 You First, You First

Although a man used the word "very cute" to describe Kasumigaoka Utaha, please note that this is not a derogatory word. On the contrary, for a girl like Utaha who never compliments others easily, it is the highest adjective.

If you think someone is handsome, your fantasy will be shattered when you see their flaws. But if you think someone is cute, you will find him cute no matter what he does.

Ying Lili walked behind the two of them and looked at their figures almost hugging each other. She curled her lips when she accidentally heard this and said, "It's fine if you guys just chat, but why do you have to involve me?"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but retort sarcastically: "Even if she's not cute, she's still much better than a woman like you who always likes to be sarcastic and make others angry, and has a dark heart!"

Being ridiculed, Kasumigaoka Utaha brushed her hair around her ears without a care, hugged Ji Qi's arm intimately, and looked at Eriri with a smile:

"Ah, I admit that I like to be sharp-tongued and have a dark heart, but isn't it enough if someone can accept me? It's much better than Sawamura-san who usually pretends to be a good girl and no man wants her, right? Don't you agree, Hime-san?"

It has to be said that Shiyu understands Eriri's character very thoroughly and knows what methods to use to accurately hit her weak spots.

For example, now she did not hesitate to seize the thin-skinned aspect of Eriri in relationships between men and women and attack her.

As expected, hearing this, Eriri's blood boiled and her cheeks flushed. However, to everyone's surprise, this time, before Eriri could open her mouth to refute, Kato Megumi, who had been on standby, took the initiative to interrupt the topic, contrary to her usual practice.

"Kasumigaoka-senpai and Sawamura-san have a really good relationship."

The voice was as calm and indifferent as ever, but Kato Megumi, who said this, turned her gaze to the two people leaning against each other. Her eyes were clear and bright, and her expression was half-smile, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

Being stared at, even Kasumigaoka Utaha felt somewhat uncomfortable. Of course, this doesn't mean that she was afraid of Hui, but Hui's gaze was extremely penetrating, giving people the illusion that he could see through people's hearts.

Shiyu hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and was reluctant to let go of Mo Renren's arm. She coughed and pretended nothing had happened and said casually: "Kato-san is such a joker. How can humans be good friends with pets? Even if there is any relationship between me and Sawamura-san, it is only the relationship between master and pet."

The tone is condescending, as if it were a sadistic queen.

"Tsk, who wants to have a good relationship with a woman like you." Eriri, who was too lazy to correct the way Kasumigaoka Utaha addressed her, sneered and confronted Utaha without giving in even though she couldn't gain any advantage.

Without making any comment on what the two said, she looked at the two people who were still clinging to each other, and a hint of unhappiness seemed to flash across Kato Megumi's pure eyes, which were free of any trace of worldly filth.

As for Ji Qi, who was enjoying the sweet scent of Shi Yu's body, he pretended to be a wooden man and said nothing. In this situation, it would be inappropriate for him to say anything, so he simply kept silent.

In addition, he quite agreed with Hui's speech.

These two girls have a really good relationship.

How should I put it? According to their settings, they are both the type with eccentric and lonely personalities and without any real friends. Although they always quarrel whenever they meet now, from another perspective, this is also proof that they are close to a certain extent.

Because some things are impossible to say if they don't matter to you. It's true that Kasumigaoka Utaha likes to be sharp-tongued, but she never speaks harshly to strangers with whom she has a bad relationship for no reason.

Their relationship can be described as one of the three friends, a friend who gives honest advice.

The originally cheerful atmosphere between the three of them suddenly became a little subtle after being interrupted by Kato Megumi.

They walked to the fork in the road in silence. Ji Qi had originally planned to hold a celebratory banquet according to his idea from yesterday, but knowing that the Sawamura family was going to hold a banquet today, he did not force it.
