"How scary, Kazehaya will definitely be that fierce parent in elementary school."

"Hehe, I've wanted to try it for a long time. I want to experience the feeling of being able to make sarcastic remarks to other parents in a legitimate and lawful way, and then beat them up if things don't go their way."

Kato Megumi's lips curled up slightly: "A lot of resentment, isn't it? Has Kazehaya been holding onto this for a long time?"

Nomiyama complained, "There's no way around it. Before, when I wanted to beat up other people's parents, Yukinoshita would stop me. But now it's different. Now I'm a parent too. Once I take on that role, I can beat them up."

Kato Megumi's tone wavered; "What if we run into classmates that Kazehaya beat up before? After all, Kazehaya has beaten up classmates and upperclassmen, hasn't he?"

Nomiyama rubbed his chin with his free hand: "It seems very likely. After all, Chiba is only so big. Everyone usually goes to school and lives in familiar streets, so it's unlikely that they move."

A smile gradually spread across his face. "Old classmates, that's a feeling I haven't had in a long time."

"Kazehaya, there's something everyone's been deliberately trying to mislead you about."

"what?"

Nomiyama turned his head to look at the person resting on his arm: "What is it?"

Kato Megumi turned her head to meet his gaze and smiled: "Have a baby."

Nomiyama looked slightly puzzled: "Have a child?"

“Yes, having children.” Kato Megumi explained softly, “Is Kazehaya gradually feeling that everyone seems to have lost interest in having children, except for me and Yukinoshita?”

Nomiyama began to go through her memories. In the past two years, the girls had rarely talked about having children. They just did what they were doing and quickly moved on from the topic. Only Megumi and Yukinoshita remained determined to have a child of their own.

He hadn't paid much attention to this aspect. Anyway, not having children wasn't a big deal. Compared to their own choice, he cared more about whether they were happy in daily life.

“Everyone’s just pretending.” Kato Megumi reached out and touched his eyebrows, gently brushing her fingertips outwards.

"Although no one minds Aster and Shiono, their positions are indeed more sensitive, so everyone feels that the first one is still there."

Nomiyama understood and couldn't help but laugh: "So they all create the impression that they don't want to have children, and then one day secretly surprise everyone?"

Kato Megumi smiled.

Nomiyama reached out and, mimicking her gesture, brushed her eyebrows: "But you still figured it out."

Kato Megumi traced her fingers down to his cheek and placed her palm on his cheek: "Although I don't understand each of them as well as Kazehaya does, I really enjoy understanding Kazehaya, so when I look at Kazehaya, the abnormalities they exhibit become very obvious."

Nomiyama grasped Megumi's hand, her eyes shimmering slightly at those words, her lake-like eyes gradually brightening, like reflections of starlight.

Kato Megumi moved closer to him, but not in a suggestive way; she simply lay on her side, embracing him, and said, "Go to sleep, Kazehaya."

Nomiyama suppressed his desires and obediently agreed, "Alright, then Megumi, come closer."

Kato Megumi sighed slightly, "It's been the closest already."

She seemed to suddenly remember something: "Oh right, let's go shopping tomorrow. It's the weekend, and my sister said she wanted to go out with me too."

Nomiyama hugged her: "Great, this is a good opportunity to ask my sister if she wants to stay in this house."

"Okay, goodnight, Kazehaya."

Goodnight, Hui.

......

The world is vast, and there are many people, each different from the other. Some love to talk, while others are as quiet as a stone.

Hiromi Kato and Megumi Kato are different people. Although they look very similar, their personalities are probably completely different.

One is good at creating a lively atmosphere, while the other is good at remaining hidden within it.

However, perhaps because they are sisters, they share some common traits. They have very beautiful eyes, eyes that are well-suited to seeing the ups and downs of people's hearts.

Before he turned eighteen, Nomiyama's interactions with this older sister were limited to serving food at family dinners. At that time, he was used to keeping his head down and eating quietly in front of the two elders.

After they turned eighteen, their communication became closer, and the term "older sister" became more familiar to them.

Because Hiromi Kato became Kazehaya Nomiyama's manager...

While helping this college graduate, who had graduated two years prior, find a job, Mai Sakurajima mentioned that her mother's company needed an agent, and Hiromi Kato successfully joined the company.

Then, the first of his artists was Nomiyama Kazehaya, and the second was Toyohama Kazuka.

In short, she is not only my older sister, but also my work partner in some sense.

"When are you coming to work? How long are you going to be on vacation? I'm completely out of staff."

Nomiyama looked at the smiling person across from her, shifted her position closer to the edge of the table for easier escape: "Maybe it will take a while? You know, sister, the original work of Utaha hasn't even been released yet, let alone any adaptation or filming."

Hiromi Kato's smile remained unchanged: "Screenwriting is one thing, but you also have other job offers, like appearing on a variety show or shooting commercials."

Nomiyama raised his hands in surrender, looking miserable: "Please let me go. I only act because Mai likes it, I don't want to actually become a professional actor."

Hiromi Kato stood up, leaning forward towards him with a fierce look in her eyes: "What about my job? You only have a few people under you. You just slack off after filming. Kazuha is learning from you and is becoming more and more lazy."

Now, after years of honing her skills in that busy industry, Hiromi Kato naturally exudes a decisive and capable aura. Even when wearing a simple navy blue sweater, she still carries an imposing presence.

However, the person opposite her was a lazy person who was good at giving up.

Nomiyama glanced away abruptly: "Well, besides me and Kazuka, there are a few others..."

Hiromi Kato squinted at him: "Oh?"

Nomiyama braced his legs, preparing to escape to his warm haven when she made her move.

"never mind."

Hiromi Kato turned around and sat on the sofa. She picked up the espresso on the table, sipped it all in one go, and after a long sigh, said, "Whatever. Anyway, you have money and a girlfriend to protect you. Megumi will only silently side with you and speak up for you. Mai and Utaha both love to explain for you. Even Kazuka and Hina have to stand by and tell me not to be angry."

Nomiyama's eyelids twitched, faster and faster.

He always found these statements terrifying.

He reached out and pulled out a tissue, saying softly, "Wipe it off, sister, the Italian drink spilled a little."

Seeing his expression, Hiromi Kato couldn't help but laugh. She grabbed a tissue and wiped her mouth, trying to hide the smile from her lips, but her voice still couldn't hide her joy: "I say, brother-in-law, with your weak and timid nature, you're destined to be completely dominated by Megumi."

Nomiyama didn't mind: "I really enjoy having Megumi manage all the big and small things, so it's a happy life for both of us."

"You two have a special way of flirting?"

"..."

Nomiyama stared at her blankly. Was this how it was supposed to be interpreted?

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm leaving now. Unlike you guys, I still have a proposal to discuss later."

Hiromi Kato waved her hand, stood up, and picked up her bag.

Nomiyama stood up: "Aren't you going to tell Megumi?"

Hiromi Kato walked out of the private room: "We're all sisters, and we see each other all the time, so why make so much trouble?"

She glanced back at the people who came out of the private room to see her off: "And about the house you mentioned, I refuse. I'm really bad at housework, I'd die there."

Nomiyama wasn't surprised: "Oh."

“However,” Kato Hiromi paused, “aren’t you moving? To the Yukinoshita family? Or the Nomiyama family? Leave me a room then, I’ll move in, anyway, your place is at least closer to my commute than mine.”

Nomiyama stopped in his tracks: "Huh?"

Hiromi Kato also stopped and turned to look at him, smiling calmly.

She raised her right hand, fingers spread, palm white with a hint of pink: "Kazehaya, you still owe me a slap, don't forget."

Nomiyama Nana: "Um, I remember it was when I was talking about making Megumi unhappy."

Hiromi Kato laughed heartily: "Believe me, you can't escape this slap, you scumbag Kazehaya."

Turning around, she pushed open the door: "Alright, see you at Nomiyama House next time, bye."

Oh, bye.

Turning around, Nomiyama walked back to the private room. The place where they had lunch today was a family business, a French restaurant.

Back in the private room, Nomiyama took out his phone, intending to ask Megumi when she would be back.

After dinner, she looked out the window, as if she had suddenly thought of something, said something, and went outside.

Before the message could be sent, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Nomiyama looked up at Megumi, who was carrying a shopping bag, and asked in surprise, "You went shopping?"

Kato Megumi smiled slightly: "I just saw that a store was having a sale, but I didn't want to suddenly drag you guys along, so I decided to go buy some things and come back later."

Nomiyama chuckled, "I don't know what's wrong with us. Even though we're both so rich, we still can't help but want to go and take a look when there's a discount."

Kato Megumi sat down next to him, tilting her head: "Looks like a married couple?"

Nomiyama gave a thumbs up: "I think so too."

"What did you talk about with your sister just now?"

"It's the same old problems, threatening me to go to work and stuff." Nomiyama paused, turning his head to look at her. "There's something a bit unexpected."

Kato Megumi took his arm and said, "Yes, go ahead."

Nomiyama thought about what had just happened: "My sister means she doesn't want to live in our house, but she's planning to move into our new house with us. The new house is closer to the company, and then she won't have to cook."

Kato Megumi thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, we happen to have someone at home who helps with grocery shopping, right?"

"Yes, but I haven't met her yet. She's Uncle Yoshino's daughter."

Nomiyama stood up, took Megumi's hand, and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere, a very beautiful place."

Seeing his determined look, Kato Megumi smiled and stood up.

If it's a place he thinks is beautiful, then it must be beautiful. The question is, what kind of scenery would he use the word "beautiful" to describe?

The next moment, the view shifted, and the space changed.

Kato Megumi loosened her grip, and the shopping bag fell to the ground. Her pupils gradually became unfocused. The light blue sphere was so huge in front of her, and the darkness and fluorescence outside the sphere were so obvious.

She turned her body in a daze.

The sky was no longer azure, nor was it covered with white clouds; instead, it was a vast, boundless darkness, adorned only by the fireflies lit by the stars.

Here is the starry sky.

"Ms. Megumi Kato, welcome to the moon."

Nomiyama was about to perform a standard English gentleman's hand salute when a girl rushed over and hugged him, causing his hand gesture to fall flat.

Due to gravity, the two flew backward a few meters on the lunar surface before slowly falling.

Nomiyama laughed heartily and hugged Megumi tightly.

Kato Megumi had an unusually radiant expression. Her eyes were lively, as if they carried sunlight, which shone on the person beneath her. After gazing at each other for a while, she twisted her body and rolled him once on the lunar surface, then once more.

Nomiyama let her do whatever she wanted, just grinning.

Only when his lip was bitten did he turn harmless, twist his body and flip himself onto the top, beginning to declare that he was the intruder.

......

Playing chess is difficult, but it shouldn't be that difficult.

The fundamental principle of Go is ultimately just a contest of computing power. Nowadays, artificial intelligence dominates the field of Go, and it can almost completely calculate the 19x19 Go board.

On that nameless mountain, which the Yukino family only called the back mountain, the two players had, in a sense, transcended the limits of the concept of humanity. Their abilities were extraordinary, and of course, they would not lose to artificial intelligence. They were also very confident in each other's computing power.

So, in order for each other to truly give their all, one of them drew many more lines on the chessboard, until she started to get a headache and stopped modifying the chessboard.

The most powerful person a thousand years ago faced off against the most talented person a thousand years later.

No one could truly calculate the odds of victory; they could only try their best to deduce it, and in the end, they all stopped when their heads ached.

The game dragged on and on, and the mental strain on both players intensified day by day.

"Hey, just give up. Who knows how much longer this will go on?"

Xuexia felt a headache coming on, so she stopped thinking, took out a bottle of rum that Xiaojing had given her, and chugged it down. After wiping her mouth, she said, "You should know, I'll definitely win in the end."

The person on the other end was too lazy to speak, and simply replied with a "hehe".

"Why are you so stubborn?" Xue Shita Xuewan sighed, too lazy to think about the chess moves anymore, and decided to give herself a rest.

She turned her body and looked at the lake.

A few days ago there were still flowers on the surface, but after so many days, flowers blooming on the water can't last long. Now, only red petals remain on the lake surface, and occasionally a fish will rise to the surface, stir up the water, and swallow the petals in one gulp.

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned, stopped calculating, and after exhaling, she stood up instead of sitting.

She reached out and brushed the dust off her long dress, feeling a little tired.
