"Well, if there's a chance."

"But are you sure it's okay? What if our identities are exposed?"

"Well..." He didn't know how to say it for a moment, because he hadn't thought of anything either, and his face showed frustration. "I can only take it one step at a time."

"For an older brother who is usually so perfect, this is quite an irresponsible statement," said Sakura Koruya Jure, slightly surprised.

“Yes! I, Yamabuki Kyuchiyo, think so too!” Yamabuki Kyuchiyo clasped her hands in front of her chest. “Young Master Cai Cai is a born king! Moreover, he has always been perfect since childhood. This is the first time I have ever seen him in such a state!”

"This just goes to show how troublesome things have been lately." He propped his head up with his arm, recalling his "fulfilling" life over the past few weeks, and sighed deeply.

"It seems that it is indeed very difficult... I hope I can help you. Namo Namo."

"You've done a great job. Nanami and Mashiro are also part of my plan, and you've assisted them very well. You truly are my proud little sister!" He stroked the soft, clean hair on her head.

"Really?! That's wonderful!" She accepted the reward with delight and joy.

Yamabuki Kyuchiyo looked at her master with envy, her eyes filled with longing yet restraint.

"Alright, everything should be fine now, right? I'll head back now." He patted his clothes and stood up. "It's getting late, you should all take a shower and get some rest."

"Ah, let me see you off."

"No need, it's just a few steps, why would I offer to escort you? Do you want to follow me to my room?" he joked.

"Hehe, that's not impossible!" Asuri chuckled cutely, it was hard to tell if she was joking.

"...Please spare me. Nanami and Mashiro were just in my room. I don't know if they've left yet."

"Huh?!" Kyuchiyo exclaimed first.

"Huh? It's so late, are they still in my brother's room? Miss Nanami is one thing, but Miss Mashiro too?" Asuri glanced at her out of the corner of her eye and asked for the reason.

“Well, it wasn’t too late for me to come,” Sakura Koji glanced at the time; it was almost his usual time to leave work. “And I’ve been working on a project with Mashiro and the others recently. She came to discuss that with me.”

"I see." Asato said that he understood, and Kyuchiyo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the explanation.

But when she heard her next sentence, she immediately tensed up.

"But I heard from Miss Nanami that all the people involved in that project seem to be very pretty girls, right?" Asuri stared at her brother questioningly.

"Besides, the school is an all-girls school, and my god-sister is a very cute girl."

"Although I don't know much about part-time jobs and other places, there are Miss Hachikado and Miss Esther in the apartment who are very interested in you. As for Rumion, let's not talk about her for now."

"...Brother, you seem to have quite a lot of girls around you lately, and almost all of them are beauties of a certain caliber."

"..." He opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.

Could it be that you guessed right, and that he actually had several full-fledged girl bands and other acquaintances and friends around him? This was his treatment method; the more people around him, the faster he recovered.

If that's really the case, even his own sister would probably think he's a pervert—no, a lewd maniac who's even worse than a pervert!

“While I’m happy that you’ve made so many friends, I also hope you’re aware of your own charm,” Ashley continued, shielding his face with his sleeve.

"You might not think that way, but I think there are very few girls who wouldn't fall for you."

"Although I really look forward to having a real 'older sister', having too many candidates can be a real headache for me."

"I don't think you want the Sakurakoji family to become chaotic, with everyone getting together and fighting over each other, right?"

"Or are you planning to turn the Heavenly Mansion into your own personal Crystal Palace?"

"Ah, could it be that your adopted sister, Shiina Mahiru, is also here to prepare for income... No, it's nothing."

At this point, she sensed something was amiss and temporarily ended her outburst.

Ugh~ This kid is usually so cute, but his comments at times like this are so scathing!

But what she said was true, so he had nothing to say.

I admit what you said makes a lot of sense, but I was incredibly foolish, and now I have nowhere to turn.

"...I'm sorry, I'll be more careful." So all he could do was answer without arguing, and apologize profusely.

"No, I went too far just now, I'm very sorry." Ashray bowed politely.

In a somewhat unusual atmosphere, the two tacitly ended the conversation.

P.S.: If you want to see my sister, go play the game! Do you want me to write it? (fuming.jpg) Just kidding, if I write it, the book will explode immediately.

"Then I'll head back now. See you at the next Sky Tea Party." This time, he was truly saying goodbye.

"Hi~ See you next time, elder brother. I wish you good luck in your martial arts! May you overcome all difficulties soon!"

"Thank you. Please take care of yourself and don't catch a cold."

"Kuchiyo, go and see off your elder brother."

"I understand."

After changing his shoes in the entryway, Sakurakoji turned around to face the petite and adorable maid.

"That's enough. It's just going up and down stairs, there's no need to see me off. Thank you for the gift."

"That's not true, it's my duty!" Yamabuki Kyuchiyo raised her hand to her chest, shook her head, and then hesitated, "Um... young master, you should do your best too!"

"I, Yamabuki, will always be watching over you from afar, praying for you!"

"Yes, I will." His eyes flickered slightly, and he took a step forward, closing the distance between them, and placed his hand on the top of her head.

"Ah~" she exclaimed softly.

"Kuchiyo has grown up a lot, and she's become much more mature and adorable." After patting her head, his hand slid down to touch the smooth, soft skin on her face.

After pinching her soft cheek, he moved down and lifted her small, delicate chin, making her restless, emerald-green eyes meet his gaze.

In an instant, she quickly closed her eyes, then, as if realizing what was happening, opened them again, but kept focusing on her surroundings, not daring to meet her gaze. Her eyelashes and pupils fluttered like butterflies, so adorable that one wanted to kiss them.

Sakurakoji, radiating talent and charisma, pouted and squinted, sporting a mischievous expression.

"Young... Master, no..." Jiuqian murmured, her face flushed red with embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" He whispered close to her ear like a devil, his breath hitting her round, blood-red earlobe, making her body tremble.

"Um, Miss Ya Shili is still waiting for me," she said, her voice barely audible, managing to squeeze out a few words.

"If possible, let's reschedule for another time..."

Having thoroughly enjoyed her predicament, Sakurakoji withdrew his large hand with satisfaction, took two steps back, and then launched his final attack with a light laugh.

"I just wanted to check if you let your guard down at night and if you paid attention to facial cleansing. Why do you need to do it next time?"

"Huh? Eh!!" Yamabuki Kyuchiyo panicked, recalling her embarrassing moment, wishing she could disappear into the floor.

"Is that so? I was so rude just now!"

Regardless of whether what he said made sense or not, the master's orders were absolute, and whatever he said was law! She had no room for rebuttal.

And even if he was deliberately teasing and flirting with her, why didn't he flirt with others? Isn't it because he has feelings for her...?

Maid Yamabuki—no, simp Yamabuki—that's how she justified herself.

"Stay here for a while before going in. Look at you, you're blushing like this after just a little check. Looks like you still need some training." Sakurakoji Sai left with these words, then leisurely closed the door and left.

“Hi…” Watching him disappear completely, Yamabuki Kyuchiyo took two steps to the left and pressed herself against the wall, then slowly slumped down on the spot.

That was so exciting! Her heart was pounding even harder than after a long day of work. The heat made her feel all wet, so she needed to clean herself properly when she took a shower later.

But after taking a shower, will I really be able to return to normal?

The image and aura of the beautiful woman kept replaying in her mind, telling her that this might be a little difficult, and that it would be great if she could fall asleep before 2 a.m.

However, this young master wasn't like this before. This is the first time he's joked with me like this. Should this be considered a good thing or...?

She recalled the first time she saw him as a child; his outstanding appearance and demeanor had astonished her. She never imagined that such a handsome person existed in the world. "The rich and handsome older brother next door" was not enough to describe him; he was more like a character from a fairy tale.

If I had to find a single word to describe him, it would be "prince," like a prince from a fairy tale, glittering and shining...

But at that time, he seemed indifferent to everyone, his fiery red eyes filled with a temperature colder than ice, which even affected the air around him.

She always has a slightly unhappy look on her face and is very prone to getting dissatisfied and sulking—although she is difficult to please, she doesn't easily vent her resentment on others... cute.

There are only a handful of people in the whole world, like the master, mistress, and young lady, who can make him change his attitude briefly, but only slightly.

He acts independently and never pays attention to other people's opinions. He leaves midway through a meal, goes to the yard to admire the moon while sleeping, climbs onto the roof alone late at night, making everyone anxious, and goes to the next room to play a loud piano piece during his studies... These are all common occurrences.

I heard that even when the master wanted to cheer him up by taking him to a dinner party at Sakurakoji's hometown, he beat up several of the noisy kids next to him because he was annoyed by their chatter (Sakurakoji's talent: punching a kid three times).

Even the adults who rushed over to mediate were disdainfully splashed with drinks and thrown glasses by him before he walked away.

From then on, the master and mistress, as well as the other members of the wealthy family, never took him to any more gatherings.

Speaking of Miss Shuri, it seems that she started to like the talented young master around that time, right?

Children are so innocent. They fall in love at first sight just because someone is good-looking and can be cool and doesn't care about adults' opinions or restraint. Is this just a simple love of beauty, or is it envy or admiration for their behavior?

When she was a child, she never understood why she was so dissatisfied when she had always been pampered with the best food, clothing, housing, education and entertainment in the world and was never lacking in the love of her family.

The table was laden with delicacies that would make her drool just from the smell, so why was she unhappy while eating, and even sighed and left after only eating half of it?

So although she initially thought he was very handsome, she didn't have much affection for him; instead, she felt resentful that he was ungrateful for his good fortune.

But what she couldn't understand even more was the attitude of the master and mistress. Apart from constantly apologizing to the people affected by the young master's troubles, they never seemed to blame him. Was that reasonable?

Even if you spoil your child, there should be a limit, right?

However, every time the young master makes a mistake, their eyes will show heartache, their expressions will be very sad, and sometimes when the young master is not around, they will hug each other and blame and comfort each other.

Later she learned that it was because the young master had contracted a very rare and strange disease. His body seemed to be suffering from pain every moment, and it would erupt in waves every now and then, which was why he became irritable and unstable.

She couldn't know what kind of pain it was, nor could she imagine what kind of will it would take to live peacefully with it. She only knew that it was a disease that even the Sakurakoji family couldn't cure, something that money and manpower couldn't solve.

One day, on the master's instructions, she went to his room to call for him and happened to see him in a miserable state during a symptom attack. The young girl was immediately stunned and stood there in fright.

After everything was over, she finally came to her senses and rushed forward, crying anxiously and asking him what was wrong. All she received in return was a surprised smile and the assurance that everything was alright. Instead of comforting him, she was the one who was comforted.

After that, he returned to his usual attitude.

From then on, her heart was filled with his strong and dazzling spirit, and her eyes began to follow him unconsciously. Before she knew it, her vision was filled with his figure.

Because of the resemblance between the young master and the madam, everyone initially assumed that he also suffered from the same illness as the madam. It is said that when the young master was born, the master and madam were saddened for a long time and were also criticized by the people from Sakurakoji's hometown.

Therefore, the young master was forbidden from being in bright light and sunlight and could only stay in the mansion.

Even the lovely and obedient Miss Asahi, who had been cute since childhood, wondered if it was because she had taken away too much of God's favor that her brother had become like this, and later she took it upon herself to assist the young master.

She would do anything the young master wanted her to do—even though the young master never seemed to ask her for anything.

But that's not the case; the turning point came with the American baseball league that year.

When Miss Ya Shili was 10 years old, the young master really wanted to watch the MLB All-Star Game finals live. So he bought tickets online, disguised himself, and sneaked out without telling anyone.

The maids, who discovered the young master was missing during the day, quickly informed the master and mistress, causing chaos throughout the mansion. Upon realizing he was truly not there, everyone despaired.

It was July, the sun was blazing, and the ultraviolet rays in the air were incredibly strong. Whether he went there voluntarily or was abducted, it would definitely cause great damage to his eyes and skin.

Just as the master had contacted all the connections at hand and searched the whole city for him... the young master swaggered back from the doorway.

That was the only time in her memory that the master and mistress were truly angry with him. After learning his motives, they unusually subjected him to physical punishment and a harsh lecture. However, when they later took him to the hospital for a checkup, they discovered that the young master had not suffered any harm at all.

This discovery stunned everyone, except for the young master himself, who showed no surprise whatsoever.

According to him, he had known for a long time that he was immune to light and ultraviolet rays, but he just hadn't thought to say so. The reason he'd been staying home was simply because he was too lazy to go out…

It should be said that this was only natural, because after he explained it this way, the master and mistress, while happy and pleased, also smiled and gave him a good beating...

Volume 1: A Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 188 The Story of Sakurakoji's Talent (Part 2)

Later, although his parents wanted him to go out more, make friends, and socialize, he reverted to his old self as a recluse. He would almost never step out of the mansion unless absolutely necessary.

This was completely unexpected for the patriarchs. It is said that because of their childhood experiences, they did not want their children to become like them, caged birds confined to the mansion.

But the young master, following his own will, ultimately lived a childhood similar to theirs...

According to him, the mansion itself is already big enough, and you would feel tired after walking around it, so there is no need to go out for a walk. He also said that he could learn the necessary knowledge through books and the internet.

So unless Miss Ya Shili makes a big request to go shopping and sightseeing with her, or it's a kind offer from elders that he can't refuse, he will reluctantly do so.

But his activity area will absolutely not exceed a few kilometers around, and the time will not exceed one day. If it's not like that, he will refuse.
