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

Although I feel a little sorry for the girls, it is indeed a good idea if I think about it carefully. They all understand Sagiri's special situation. After all, the current situation is complicated, and it is better to do nothing than to make more mistakes.

But there is no point in escaping. Since you have played with other people's feelings, you should stick to your own principles and make choices one by one.

It's something we have to face sooner or later anyway.

The reason for Makoto's death was that he played with too many feelings and bodies. He thought that every relationship he had that was forced by the system was given with his heart, and he had never played with other people's bodies, so there was no reason for others to raise their axes against him, right?

Besides, he also has the elephant-leg-level cheat code for loading save files.

You won't die even if you really want to.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind, and to sum it up this way.

"Okay, we'll join the others tomorrow."

Edit, send.

There were three people who sent him text messages, one was Kasumigaoka Utaha, one was Sagiri, and the other unexpectedly was Yukinoshita Haruno.

The last one might want to take this opportunity to discuss other securities matters with him. Just reject her, she is the biggest uncertainty. As for Yukino, she is still in Chiba, and it seems that she can only spend the Obon Festival there.

Ji Qi put away his phone calmly. Mashiro, the cat, must be taken out for a walk. The only thing left is Sagiri's problem.

Things have come to this point, and he definitely doesn't mind taking Sagiri out. The problem is that even though her condition has improved a lot recently, she still can't leave the house.

When he came to the second floor and saw Sagiri, Ji Qi was stunned.

Now, she was wearing a pink bathrobe with some snowflakes dotted on it. The color was simple, but it made her look extremely cute. Her little hands, which could usually draw vivid pictures, kept playing with her long silver hair, curling it around. Her sky-blue eyes moved back and forth on the floor. She didn't dare to look him in the eye, and she looked like a shy girl.

Ji Qi admired her from head to toe, and before Sagiri could speak, he smiled at the shy girl and said, "You are very pretty and cute, Sagiri."

With so many girls around him, he wouldn't say that he is a seasoned lover, but he knows exactly what to say and when.

A blush appeared on the girl's pretty face like white jade, and a strong sense of shyness instantly surged into her heart, making her almost close the door in front of her to relieve her emotions.

Fortunately, I held back.

Otherwise, being so arrogant will ruin your life.

She can't learn from that blonde Eriri Sawamura.

It would be better to say that it was Eriri's existence that sounded the alarm for Sagiri.

"By the way, Sagiri, you're dressed like this, are you planning to watch the fireworks tomorrow?" Ji Qi asked curiously. There are only two people at home at the moment, and Sagiri must be dressing up for herself. But she specially dressed up in a yukata, is she hinting at something?

"…Brother, you idiot!"

It seemed like he had said something wrong, and Sagiri's cute face, which was particularly lovely under her yukata, puffed up into a chubby face.

?

Ji Qi's face was full of question marks. He had praised him as he should, but why couldn't he just ask his own sister why she was wearing a yukata?

"Brother must have received a lot of invitations from girls today." The silver-haired beautiful girl turned her eyes away, a subtle hint of resentment appearing on her face, and spoke sullenly.

His expression was somewhat embarrassed, and this was indeed the truth.

Although the rest of Kato Hui and the others did not take the initiative to invite him, he was still waiting for the girls to take the initiative? This kind of thing is what men should do. Since he has decided to go, he must invite her.

Seeing Ji Qi's reaction, Sagiri, who had already understood something, snorted, and the raging flames of war were reflected in her clear eyes.

You bunch of thieving cats, I will not give my brother to you!

"It's okay, brother, don't worry about me tomorrow. You can enjoy the fireworks display to your heart's content."

Ji Qi was just about to tell her about this, but Sagiri, with a sweet smile on her face, spoke softly, her voice sweet and gentle, interrupting his actions.

Huh?

When had his sister become so unconventional... no, so considerate?

Ji Qi, who was planning to discuss this matter with her, was stunned again.

Sagiri secretly clenched her fists. She did this for a reason. First of all, she understood that her disadvantage was that she couldn't go out to accompany her brother to the fireworks festival. Maybe she could rely on her status as a younger sister to let her brother stay at home with her, but doing so would obviously not increase her brother's favor for her. So she could think from another angle and turn her disadvantage into an advantage! For example, there must be more than one girl going out with her brother this time. So no matter whether they have feelings for her brother or not, it's not easy to show it in front of other people. In addition, they are involved with each other, so there is no need to worry about anything!

Even if she could go, she would probably end up with the same result.

That's why she said this!

Staying alone at home waiting for her brother, she immediately stood out from the other thieving cats!

It seems to be a proactive retreat, but in fact it is a retreat to advance.

I have to say, Ji Qi, who never thought that his simple sister had so many scheming thoughts, was somewhat moved by her understanding. It wasn't just this time, Sagiri had done something similar before.

After thinking about it, he felt even more fond and pity for the silver-haired girl in front of him who was not troubled by the world, and secretly told himself to consider Sagiri's feelings more in the future.

At the same time, Ji Qi had an idea and thought that there might be a good way to solve this incident that would satisfy both parties.

Chapter 396 The curtain opens

Let’s not talk about what was in Ji Qi’s mind for now. Now it is the second day and the Ullambana Festival has arrived as scheduled.

When he got everything ready and walked out the door, it was already getting dark outside.

Although he said he was preparing, in fact, it was no different from any other time he went out. He just wore a simple T-shirt and long pants. Men don't need to dress up like girls, but choosing a yukata for Mashiro wasted a lot of his time.

Because the homes of several people are different, Ji Qi slowly walked towards Kato Megumi's home, ready to go to the place they agreed on together. As the location moved, the lights that dotted on both sides of the street replaced the usual neon lights and street lights and lit up one after another.

Looking at the bustling crowd nearby, Ji Qi, who had let go of many constraints in his heart, came to the bottom of the cherry blossom slope, where a pretty girl was already standing there waiting.

He walked over with a smile, and when he got closer, he couldn't help but be amazed by Kato Megumi's beauty.

Due to the nature of the festival, she was wearing a cherry blossom colored yukata today. The exquisite clothes were embroidered with colorful patterns. In the breeze, they seemed real and vaguely visible. Her hairstyle was also changed from the usual single ponytail, and she let her long black hair fall naturally. Since she was wearing a yukata, she matched her white and slender thighs with a pair of wooden clogs.

At this moment, she firmly attracted the attention of passers-by. She no longer had the feeling of being just a passerby as usual, and became extremely eye-catching. This made Ji Qi feel happy but also had an indescribable subtle feeling of loss.

"This yukata suits you very well. It's very beautiful, Hui."

"Hey, thank you for the compliment, senior."

The girl's voice had a gentle expression and did not have much emotional ups and downs, but Ji Qi could hear a hint of happiness hidden in it.

Then, he felt a penetrating gaze staring at him from behind.

Pretending to be nonchalant, he turned his gaze to Mashiro and said again with a smile: "Mashiro is also super cute."

Although his words may sound a bit like a scumbag, his praise was definitely from the bottom of his heart.

Mashiro was wearing a white bathrobe with a pattern of light red petals hand-painted on it, which was very consistent with the girl's pure aura that was not affected by the cause and effect of the human world. She stood there quietly, and the world around her seemed to have fallen into a pure white world with her. As for her hair, it was still let down normally - Ji Qi tried for a long time, but even after looking at the tutorials on the Internet, he really didn't know how to do a girl's hair, and Yamada the fairy was not here today.

Hearing the praise, the girl's beautiful and peaceful eyes without a trace of filth were tinged with joy, and the slight unhappiness from before disappeared instantly.

"Good evening, Ms. Shiina."

Looking at Mashiro behind Ji Qi, Kato Megumi's eyes were calm yet somewhat unfathomable, and she greeted her gently.

Just because Mashiro doesn't have common sense doesn't mean she has no common sense. She still needs to pay attention to basic etiquette.

"Call me Mashiro, Kei...are you also going out on a date with Nana?"

Mashiro looked directly at Kato Megumi and said in a soft voice, "It was fine at the beginning, but when Ji Qi heard the second half, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched. Is Mashiro going to start again?!"

"If you don't mind, Miss Shiina, I'll call you Mashiro. But Mashiro, I don't think this may be a date. After all, a date is when two people of a good relationship go out shopping together, and there are a lot of us here." In response to Mashiro's bold and strange remarks, Kato Megumi spoke slowly and went straight to what she meant. The conversation between the two, which always seemed to hint at something, made Ji Qi break out in a cold sweat.

Mashiro nodded her head in understanding. In order to prevent them from having any more shocking conversations, Ji Qi took the initiative to interrupt and said, "Let's talk while we walk, otherwise Shiyu will get impatient waiting."

The place he and Shiyu agreed to meet was in front of a remote shrine. There should be few people there, and the banquet meeting could be seen nearby. It was a place he found with great difficulty.

Well, it’s just Shiyu.

The other girl with blonde hair and twin ponytails was reluctant to come, and she gave the excuse that there was a party being held at home and she really couldn't get away.

Ji Qi had no objection to this, as he couldn't force the girl to come here.

Now these three girls are probably the ones he likes the most.

Ji Qi walked along the dark and remote path with the two delicate girls without any worries. It could be said that he was looking forward to the two little hooligans to try out his Aikido, which he had never used before.

However, the actual development is not so dramatic.

Arriving safely at the street near the shrine, Ji Qi followed the instructions in Shiyu's text message, worked hard to rush through the crowd, and found Shiyu in front of a building with relatively few people.

When she saw Ji Qi, a touching tenderness emerged on Kasumigaoka Utaha's delicate face. Then, when she saw the pretty girls on both sides of him, that tenderness quickly turned into coldness. She was as gentle as she was just now, and it would be the same even if she knew it in advance.

By the way, I don’t know if it’s because she cares about him too much, which leads to a subjective illusion. Kasumigaoka Utaha feels that Ji Qi is now more eye-catching than the two dazzling girls around him.

After taking a deep breath and adjusting her mood, Kasumigaoka Utaha still greeted Ji Qi, "Ji Qi-kun."

"Shiyu, you're here so early?" He walked to the black-haired girl who was frequently attracting attention, and greeted her cheerfully, pretending to know nothing.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was wearing a black yukata that perfectly matched her temperament. The lavender corset could not conceal the girl's graceful figure, especially the pair of surging breasts. The biggest difference between her and the two girls next to her was that Kasumigaoka Utaha had tied her waist-length black hair into a hairpin of an unknown style, revealing her beautiful white neck.

"It's just that you came too late." Kasumigaoka Utaha curled her lips. She saw through Ji Qi's little thoughts but didn't say anything. Although she was jealous, in the overall situation, she had always handled it very maturely and there was nothing to fault with her.

"I can't help it. The road was a bit crowded and it took some time."

Shiyu hummed. If there weren't two girls around her who were as calm as water but gave people a strange sense of danger, she would have teased Ji Qi a few times, but now she let it go.

"Good evening, Kasumigaoka-senpai."

"Good evening, Kato-san."

Looking at Kato Megumi, who was smiling faintly and emitting a charming glow, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that Ji Qi's original idea might be correct.

And the last one is Mashiro...

She didn't have much contact with this girl who seemed to know nothing and didn't know how to talk to her.

In fact, she herself is the type who won’t take the initiative to interact with others.

Chapter 397 It begins

They stood in front of a building with a 100% turning head rate. Everywhere they looked, there were bright lights, as if the streets were on fire. Also, the crowd in front of them was as crowded as sardines in a can. Several of them couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Although we have reunited, all we have to do next is find the originally booked place and stay there, but there are a bit too many people.

In fact, the fireworks display here is not a particularly high-end display, so there are some elderly uncles and elderly people around, and there are also students standing in twos and threes by the river. The flow of people is relatively small. The problem is that they are not people who can adapt to crowded places.

Anyway, there is still more than half an hour before the start, so there is no need to rush over.

then……

"Let's go eat that, Seven."

Mashiro, who was as quiet as a painting, blinked and pointed to the stall selling candy apples on the street ahead.

"Want to eat that?" Ji Qi asked curiously. Except for the Baumkuchen or when she was hungry, he rarely saw Mashiro take the initiative to say that she wanted to eat something.

"No, I saw it in a comic book."

Mashiro's soft and sweet answer gave a result that made people laugh and cry.

"Then let's go eat that."

Looking at the heads of people coming one after another in front of him, Ji Qi smiled. It was not difficult to pass through the shop that Mashiro mentioned under such density.

Kasumigaoka Utaha followed silently behind, looking at the serene and beautiful profile of Mashiro and the bathrobe she was wearing.

This must have been picked by Ji Qi for her.

After such a long time of contact, and the fact that he had no intention of deliberately hiding it, she naturally knew about their unusual relationship. In her heart, she felt a little jealous. Although she didn't need anyone to take care of her dressing, he had never helped her choose clothes from beginning to end. Although this was related to the fact that she had never noticed this aspect before and he had taken the initiative to ask for it.

The remaining Kato Megumi was still walking slowly with a calm and gentle expression, making it difficult to tell what she was thinking.

In the crowd, surrounded by a group of girls, Ji Qi, who was already conspicuous in every sense, radiated a dazzling light like the sun, and for a moment he was able to overshadow the beautiful girls who were carefully dressed up.

Look, look, I won’t lose a piece of meat anyway.

Ji Qi, who was more or less used to being the center of attention, curled his lips and went to the candy apple stand and bought one for each of the girls, including himself.

"Give."

"Thank you, Senior."

Kasumigaoka Utaha also thanked her quietly, and rubbed Ji Qi's hand with her little finger, bringing a warm touch. In this regard, he could only pretend that nothing had happened.

As for Mashiro, maybe they were too familiar with each other, so she took the apple candy and put it directly into her mouth.

"how do you feel?"

Ji Qi asked Mashiro with interest.
