After leisurely finishing breakfast and enjoying a cup of coffee to refresh himself, Sakurakoji changed into Ogura Asahi's clothes and took a car to Fuchu City.

Today is Shiina Mahiru's high school entrance ceremony. He promised her two weeks ago that he would attend, and he emphasized it again a few days ago, so he naturally couldn't be absent or late today.

After a half-hour drive, he arrived at the building where Shiina Mahiru lived and rang the doorbell for apartment 502.

ding dong~

The call was answered in less than five seconds.

"Sister Chaoyang?! I'll open the door right away!"

Before he could answer, the automatic door to the lobby slowly opened.

Ogura Asahi was exasperated by her impatient behavior, but couldn't say anything, since she was the most important person today. One could roughly guess just how excited she was.

If it were two weeks ago, she might not have had any thoughts about this kind of thing, and might even have felt genuine disgust.

But now, everything is different.

She stepped into the lobby she had been to several times before, and easily entered the elevator, going straight to the fifth floor.

"Sister Chaoyang!"

The elevator doors had barely opened a crack when she heard a clear, crisp voice coming from the hallway. Yes, it was undoubtedly her stepsister, whom she hadn't seen for three days.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and Shiina Mahiru's face, as radiant as golden rapeseed flowers, came into her view.

Shiina Mahiru, wearing slippers and holding her hands, looked expectantly at Ogura Asahi as she slowly walked out of the elevator.

"Why didn't you even change your shoes?" As he approached, Ogura Asahi stroked her flaxen head and said reproachfully.

"Hehe~" She didn't try to argue or answer, but just stood there, grinning foolishly with a relaxed expression.

"Let's go inside first. I've prepared a gift for you. Leave it here before you set off." Ogura Asahi raised the clothing bag in his hand.

"Is it the same clothes as last time?" Shiina Mahiru's eyes sparkled as she looked over curiously.

"Yes, see if you like it." She handed over the bag, looking apologetic. "Um, I'm sorry, Mahiru."

"Although I originally wanted to make it by hand, I've been too busy lately and haven't had the time..."

She originally thought a few days would be enough for her to make one herself, but she didn't expect that just the time it took for Shiina Mahiru to go to Sakura Mansion and stay overnight at PA's house would take two days and two nights. There wasn't enough time left, so she could only pick out a piece of clothing of a similar size from the clothes that her workshop had already made.

"However, I designed it myself, so I hope you don't mind!"

"Hmm~" Shiina Mahiru hugged the paper bag, showing no sign of blame, her face beaming with a smile, "What are you talking about, Asahi-neechan! How could I blame you for this!"

"I know Sister Chaoyang is very busy, so I'm really happy that she could take some time to be with me today! Not to mention she even prepared a gift for me!"

"Stop saying those weird things, come on in!"

"Thank you, I'm relieved to hear that."

"I should be the one saying thank you. Thank you so much for the gift, Asahi-neechan!" Shiina Mahiru tightened her grip on her pocket, her face seemingly bathed in light.

Oh, angels! An angel has descended upon me!

Ogura Asahi, the little voice inside him, was in tears, half moved and half relieved as he followed her into the inner room.

"Do you like it?" Ogura Asahi asked, a little nervously, as she watched Shiina Mahiru open the bag and take out the clothes to examine them.

Although she has always been very confident in her skills and aesthetic sense, she cannot rule out the possibility that young girls may have different aesthetic senses than she does.

As the saying goes, being one step ahead is genius, being two steps ahead is madness.

Her professional aesthetic sense is sometimes really different from that of ordinary people.

"Yes! I love it the most!" Shiina Mahiru held up the chiffon dress, perfect for spring, in front of her, her expression a mixture of amazement and undisguised joy.

Although she hasn't put it on yet, just by looking at it in front of her, you can see its extraordinary charm.

The beige main color accentuates her purity, the overlapping and complex pleats of the skirt reveal its taste, and the reflective, pure fabric indicates its high price.

She couldn't help but hug it, spin around a few times, and laugh happily.

"I'm glad you like it." Ogura Asahi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's put it down first, we should probably go... By the way, you haven't changed your clothes yet?"

She only just noticed this; as a freshman, she was still wearing casual clothes.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I was too excited this morning and didn't remember... I'll change right away!" Shiina Mahiru placed the dress on the bed, clasped her hands in front of her, blushed apologetically, and then walked to the wardrobe to take out the new uniform she had been given.

Without giving her any prior notice, he started taking off his old clothes right in front of her, revealing his fair and delicate skin through his thick hair.

"Wait...!" Ogura Asahi's eyes widened, startled by her swift movements.

What are you doing?! Why are you taking off your clothes without warning?!

Even if you are my adopted sister, even if this is indoors, even if we have slept in the same bed for one night, you can't do this!

"Hmm?" Hearing the noise, Shiina Mahiru turned around in confusion, revealing more of her skin and flat, cute little belly to him.

"..." Ogura Asahi's naturally translucent skin flushed slightly. She closed her eyes and raised her hand to indicate, "No, it's nothing. You can continue, hurry up."

"Ok."

Confused, she continued changing her clothes. After a rustling sound of fabric, the air returned to silence.

Ogura Asahi opened his squinting eyes and saw a modern high school girl in a brand-new uniform, who was exceptionally cute, pointing her slender fingers at each other and shyly glancing at him.

"Um, I want Sister Chaoyang to be the first to see me like this. What do you think, me as a high school student?"

The dark blue top with a red bow tie and the brown mesh skirt swayed with her small movements, exuding a mysterious aura that could even stir the heartstrings of some. The black stockings on her legs added a touch of mature allure to her elegant temperament.

In short, it's really nice!

With tears welling up in her eyes and her hands trembling, Ogura Asahi covered her pert nose with her left hand to check for bleeding, while giving her a thumbs-up with her right hand.

So that's why she didn't change her clothes beforehand.

"Hehe~" Receiving her silent praise, Shiina Mahiru playfully twirled left and right, causing her short skirt to flutter in the air.

"Ready? Let's go."

"Ok!"

The two walked out of the room together, closed the door, and chatted and laughed as they headed for the elevator.

They had only taken a couple of steps when the door next to them happened to open. Ogura Asahi instantly tensed up, instinctively reaching out to shield Shiina Mahiru behind him, and cautiously glancing over.

"what……"

Behind the wide-open door, a boy with a somewhat gloomy expression and long bangs was revealed.

He was rather thin, also wearing a school uniform, and his complexion had an unhealthy tinge. His features were somewhat androgynous; if he cut his bangs and styled himself properly, he would probably be quite handsome.

"It's him?" Ogura Asahi raised an eyebrow in understanding and lowered her guard. Although she had guessed before that he should already be living here, this was the first time she had seen him.

Her gaze passed over his figure and fell upon the brightly lit interior.

The ground was littered with clutter, garbage bags were piled up and not thrown away, and there were obvious stains in some places—it could basically be considered a small garbage dump.

"..."

Fujimiya Shu was startled when he opened the door, but not by anything terrifying; quite the opposite.

On the first day of the new school year, the moment he opened the door, two stunningly beautiful women, one tall and one short, appeared before him.

The girl with flaxen blonde hair seemed to be about my age. She was petite but looked very healthy, with radiant skin and hair. Her delicate features were unmatched even in my previous school.

The joy on her face gradually faded in his sight, replaced by wariness and shyness. She was a true campus beauty.

Judging from her school uniform, could she be a first-year student at Chengcheng High School, just like me?

The other one... He focused his gaze on that direction, his pupils suddenly dilating to their maximum size.

What...what is this?!

He was deeply shaken, astonished by the other person's stunning appearance.

She was very young, but her aloof and otherworldly temperament made it impossible to guess her exact age. Her silvery-white hair was like that of a fairy in a dream, her clear skin was like snow in winter, and her crimson eyes were like flames igniting winter. Her flawless and beautiful face showcased the purest aesthetics.

The moment their eyes met, he would instinctively look away, but he couldn't help stealing glances.

He had never seen such a beautiful person before; even the very lovely girl next to him paled in comparison.

Are they sisters? He glanced at her twice; her taller figure compared to the schoolgirl seemed to indicate that she was older.

At one point, he noticed that the silver-haired beauty's gaze seemed to pass over him and focus on something behind him. He followed her gaze and turned around, and then... ugh!

bump!

Realizing what had happened, he hurriedly closed the door, his face flushed as he leaned against it, speechless, feeling as if his privacy and shameful, base nature had been completely exposed.

"Good morning," Ogura Asahi greeted with a light laugh.

"Hello." Shiina Mahiru grabbed her sleeve and followed closely behind.

"Good morning..." Fujimiya Shuu stared down at the floor, not daring to move his gaze. He just wanted to find a hole to crawl into!

However, their voices are all so beautiful...

"Taiwa." Ogura Asahi nodded slightly and led Shiina Mahiru toward the elevator.

Only after the elevator returned to the ground floor did Fujimiya Shu's body, which had been leaning against the door, slowly slide down, and he sat limply in front of the door.

He was so nervous! What just happened almost drained all his energy. Should he just skip school today?

But skipping class on the first day doesn't seem right; besides, they seem to be going to the opening ceremony too. If he goes, will he run into them again...? He looked up and gazed at the distant sky outside the corridor.

Such a romantic encounter on the first day of school—though nothing happened, and he ended up embarrassing himself. But this light novel-like start seems to suggest that leaving home and coming here was the right choice.

Could it be that his high school life would be exciting? He couldn't suppress his anticipation.

……

"Little Mahiru, how about I get you a new house?"

Upon reaching the first floor, Ogura Asahi spoke to Shiina Mahiru beside him.

Author's Note: Tomorrow's update will finally be the moment when the protagonist reveals the answer to the mystery on the first day of school. Are you looking forward to it?! (If I keep being the riddle teller, I'm afraid I'll get beaten to death. *covers head in hands*)

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 148 As a Parent

"Change houses? Why?" Shiina Mahiru tilted her head, feeling puzzled.

“Well—there’s no particular reason, it’s just that this room was rented for you by your parents, right? Since you want to completely get rid of them and move into my house, I hope we can provide for everything materially.” He explained briefly, paused, and continued:

"Besides, judging from the clothes and bow tie, that child seemed to be in the same grade as you, right? Although it's not nice to say it like that, he seemed to be a child with some problems."

"To ensure you can continue your studies without any disruptions, I think moving is the best option. Don't worry about the money, what do you think?"

Although there shouldn't be any further problems, it's best to completely sever the connection between the lotus roots, both internally and externally, just for peace of mind.

"That room was really... well..." After hearing her explanation, Shiina Mahiru also recalled what had just happened. Thinking of the messy state of that room, a hint of disgust flashed across her face.

Clearly, while Fujimiya Shu was stunned by the beauty, she also saw the view behind the door.

It's hard to imagine that there are such inconsiderate people in the world, especially living next door. I wonder if the smell will seep through the walls at night...

She looked up and took in the worry in Ogura Asahi's eyes. Her body warmed slightly, and her worry turned into a smile: "I understand. Although I want to try not to add to Asahi-neechan's burden, I will listen to you if it can reduce Asahi-neechan's worries!"

"Okay! Once you've sorted things out with your family, I'll arrange your move!" Ogura Asahi smiled with satisfaction.

"Have they bothered you these past few days?"

"I did call to ask what happened, but that's all."

"Like this." Ogura Asahi patted her head again, feeling like it was becoming a habit; the feel of her hands was truly amazing.

"Don't worry, things will be resolved soon, and you'll be completely free afterward."

"Let's go, the car is waiting for us outside."

"Hmm!" Stepping out of the vestibule in front of the apartment, the warm spring sunshine shone on her, dispelling the shadows inside.

Spring is indeed a great season to start everything.
