"It's alright, it's alright. Compared to you, Ms. Yang, who always wears a mask, mine is nothing." Feeling a bit annoyed by this topic, he simply replied like this.

As expected, upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Haruno stopped dwelling on these trivial and uninteresting points, her gaze hardened, and she fell silent.

Hiratsuka Shizuya stared at Sakurakoji Takashi in surprise, not expecting him to be so brave and have such accurate judgment.

Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes flickered slightly as she glanced at him casually: "Eh~ what do you mean by that?"

"What does 'sa' mean?"

"..."

She stopped what she was doing and observed him for a long time with a burning gaze, but she still couldn't see any sign of him wavering. In the end, she had no choice but to look away.

"You're really something else, bro."

"After all, I'm handsome."

He tried to lighten the mood, but only received eye rolls from Hiratsuka Shizuka and Iji Tomoka.

"I'm really interested in you. How about we go on a date outside sometime?"

"Hey~ Isn't it a bit much to skip confessing and go straight to a date?"

"It's okay! These kinds of relationships happen sometimes! And dating isn't just for couples, even same-sex couples can do it!"

"Is that so? I'm a little nervous being alone with a mature older sister like you."

Don't worry! I'm not going to eat you!

Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyelids twitched as she listened, suppressing the urge to step forward and punch him a few times.

You get nervous too? I never saw you nervous when we were eating together.

But what kind of scheme is Yang Nai up to now? Why is she being so proactive? She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

Could it be that he has actually fallen for Sakurakoji?

Probably not. In any case, she shouldn't be so shallow as to fall in love so quickly, even if the other person is handsome.

So you wanted to play a trick on him, but didn't you pick the wrong opponent? That guy won't let you get your way so easily.

Well, anyway, there might be some fun to see later.

She was happy to see these two annoying guys fighting, no matter who came out on top, and she took a small sip of her hot cocoa.

"Then, can we exchange contact information?"

After a brief conversation, Yukino Yukinoshita took out her phone and offered to add her contact information.

“Sure.” Sakurakoji Saiki readily accepted the free sales opportunity.

However, if the plot continues to develop, will he get along well with his older sister, who is three years older than him, before he even meets the second young lady?

What will happen next?

Hopefully, nothing serious will break out.

For some reason, a scene suddenly flashed through his mind: heavy rain, two people fighting, one person trying to break it up, and the fight stopping... Just thinking about the scene made him want to laugh.

happy.

“Um, let me think, young man, your name is Sakurakoji Saiki, right?” Yukinoshita Haruno recalled the name she had heard before and confirmed it.

"Yes, that's right, thank you for not forgetting me." He bowed in a perfunctory manner.

"That's quite a rare surname." After setting the nickname, Yukino Yukinoshita slightly raised her gaze from her phone screen, her expression meaningful.

"Well, after all, there are six-digit surnames in Japan, so it's not surprising that they come in all sorts." He shrugged, his expression as calm as a passing breeze.

Although some people might think that his name sounds very noble and that he must be a descendant of the old Chinese, that is not the case.

While it is true here, in his previous life, this family and surname did not exist in Japan at all; it was simply a creation of the story.

While it's true that some noble surnames are based on place names, making them easily recognizable, that's just one example.

If she does develop suspicions and launches an investigation—there's nothing he can do about it.

He couldn't just start using a pseudonym now, nor could he stop her from taking action.

“That makes sense.” Yukinoshita Haruno nodded without saying anything.

However, I was still a little concerned. Sakurakoji, that surname sounds familiar. Have I heard it somewhere before?

Sakurakoji didn't seem to care much about this issue.

Although a family name with a long history sounds nice, it doesn't have much use in modern society.

If they cannot maintain their position through generations of political activity or have a place in the business world, their decline will only take a few decades.

For example, the Sakurakoji family of the previous generation, if it weren't for the fact that they had an unpopular third daughter, would probably not be much better off now.

Without Luna Sakurakoji's help and the influence of the Daizo family, it's questionable whether they would even exist today.

Not to mention, Japan has accumulated so many noble family names over the years that they are as numerous as stray dogs on the street. There are hundreds of noble titles alone. Can you really expect each one to receive good treatment?

Nowadays, nobles who can still exert influence in their localities, like the hometown of Hachikado Sakuri, are considered to be doing quite well, and are about the same as local hereditary councilor families like the Yukinoshita family.

Moreover, his family had long since moved overseas, and he himself had been living in the cabinet for a long time. Without a thorough investigation, it would be questionable whether he could even be found out that such a person existed.

We chatted for a long time about all sorts of things. After going through the daily routine of opening the doors to sell tickets, selling food and drinks, and starting the performance, it was past dinner time when the two women got up to say goodbye—they were going out to eat.

"Sakurakoji, are you going or not?" The person asking him was still Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Should we eat ramen again, like last time?" He wasn't too keen on it.

If you specifically call me out, you should at least take him out for a nice meal. It's not a matter of taste, it's a matter of formality!

"What? You're not convinced?" Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes sharpened.

"...No, ramen is the best!"

"Alright, what do you want to eat?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked helplessly, scratching her hair.

"At the very least, it has to be fried rice that makes people's clothes explode after eating it, or a fantastical dish that makes dieting monks choose to return to secular life. At the very least, it has to be a golden dish that makes people glow and cause hallucinations after eating it..." Sakurakoji Sai gave examples.

"What's that? Have you been reading too many comics?" Hiratsuka Shizuka looked him up and down. "I didn't expect you to prefer food comics over romance comics. Is it to get inspiration for cooking?"

"Oh, by the way, I prefer reading fighting comics!"

"..." Sakurakoji fell silent, sadly accepting reality. "Is that so? No, that's a shame..."

"what are you talking about?"

"I'm saying that superpowers and abilities should be a kind of romance that every boy should pursue."

"It's a girl's way of being romantic too," Hiratsuka Shizuka added. "Okay, stop talking nonsense, are you coming or not?"

Although I wanted to tease her that she shouldn't even be considered a girl anymore, I still said, "Come on! Of course I'll come! Teacher Xiaojing personally invited me, how could I not come!"

"loquacious."

After speaking to Ichiji Hoshika, he was easily allowed to pass.

Although he wanted to call on others, not everyone was his. Ichiji Hoshika had to manage the venue, and the PA had to constantly adjust the sound—it seems that being a limited-edition catering chef is a pretty good job.

After leaving the starry sky, the three began to forage for food near Shimokitazawa.

After wandering around for a while, for some reason, I ended up at the same ramen shop as last time.

"What do you want this time?" After asking Yukinoshita Haruno on her right, Hiratsuka Shizuka turned to Sakurakoji Saiki on her left at the long table.

"Last time it was tonkotsu, this time let's try soy sauce."

"Wow~ That's quite courageous, worthy of praise." Hiratsuka Shizuka raised the corners of her cute, delicate mouth. "That's right, young people should have the courage to try everything!"

"Put courage aside for now," he said, trying to get Yukino Haruno's attention. "Miss Haruno, would you mind having ramen for dinner?"

"Hmm? You don't mind? Don't let my appearance fool you, I actually quite like junk food, you know?" She smiled and made a cute gesture.

"That's it."

"Don't call ramen junk food! Are you looking for trouble?!"

A Ramen God cult follower, extremely displeased with her remarks, punched her on the head as a form of punishment.

"Ouch~ It hurts!" Yukinoshita Haruno clutched her head and massaged her wound with tears in her eyes. "You still love ramen so much, Shizuka."

"Hmph, you could eat ramen your whole life and never get tired of it," Hiratsuka Shizuka said calmly. "Ah, didn't I just say something pretty good? I feel like it could be considered a famous quote!"

"Such a casual saying shouldn't exist." X 2

"Tsk, it's only at times like this that you two are so in sync." She clicked her tongue.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

"Oh, right, Sakurakoji! Do you still have that mackerel from last time? Give me some more!" Hiratsuka Shizuka leaned towards him, her plump, soft cushion pressing against his arm.

The deformation unfolded like a water droplet falling to the ground, causing Sakurakoji's talent to spread outwards like ripples from the splashing water.

Whether it's because she exercises regularly or because of her natural genetic advantages, thank you very much!

The small distance between seats isn't without its advantages, he thought, feeling apologetic for the initial assessment he had made when he first entered the room.

"Yes, it is. Teacher Xiaojing likes it very much?" He composed himself and turned his head to meet her beautiful face.

At such close range, not only could one clearly see her fair and delicate skin, but also the number of her long, fluttering eyelashes.

"Hmm, that tastes surprisingly good! It's perfect for eating with rice or noodles, no need to cook anything else, so convenient!" Hiratsuka Shizuka pressed her left hand on his shoulder, leaning against it for support.

"You should eat your meal properly, don't treat that as the main course!" He sighed, knowing he probably couldn't persuade her, and felt utterly defeated.

If you want her to develop good sleep and lifestyle habits, you can probably only hope that she marries a man who is good at all housework.

"I understand. I'll get you two more cans when I get back."

"Yay! Ta-da!" Hiratsuka Shizuka cheered excitedly.

"Nani?! It's delicious?" Yukinoshita Haruno, who had smelled something tasty, curiously came closer.

"It's none of your business, go away!" Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand to shoo him away.

"Eh~~ Aren't we like-minded partners, Yuuka~-chan~~"

"Who said you're my partner? I don't recall ever doing that."

After watching the bickering of this pair of bickering lovers for a while, Sakurakoji cleverly interjected to end it: "Last time I gave Ms. Shizuka some local specialties, and she seemed to like them quite a bit. Ms. Haruno, would you like some? If so, I'll get you some later too."

"Yes! I want it!" She accepted without hesitation.

"You're hopeless." Hiratsuka Shizuka was disgusted by her shamelessness.

Before long, their food was served, and the fragrant soup made them abandon their argument and start focusing on dinner.

After finishing their meal, the three of them went to the spot where Hiratsuka Shizuka had parked her car.

To get the marinated mackerel, Hiratsuka Shizuka drove to his residence first. Because she was intercepted by Yukinoshita Haruno after school, she was driving the Land Cruiser instead of a supercar.

Thanks to this, Sakurakoji no Takashi didn't have to take a taxi home by himself.

"Hey, here you go, one for each of you later." After coming downstairs, he placed the two bags on the passenger seat.

Because he couldn't carry that many by himself, he had to put them in a bag.

"thanks!"

"See you next time, buddy!"

After saying goodbye, he watched the vehicle gradually disappear into the distance, thus concluding his journey for the day.

……

No wonder!

Back in his room, looking at Aoyama Nanami and Shiina Mashiro entangled together, Sakurakoji Sai felt a headache coming on.

"What's wrong? Why is Mashiro here?"

They weren't here when he came up earlier, so how come they appeared in the blink of an eye?

Speaking of Marcy, he inexplicably thought of the medicine seller in the Moon Forest.

He shook his head, almost hallucinating.

"Ah, young master!"
