Volume 1: Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 106 School is About to Start, A Normal Girl's Room

after an hour,

On the dining table at the Ogiso family's house.

"What is this..." Kogiso Takahiro exclaimed after taking a bite of the food in front of him. "Five ants!"

Where did you come from, you blond swordsman?

Sakurakoji thought to himself, then silently ate a bite of food.

"Really?" Akina Ogiso took a bite of tempura and couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim softly, looking at Saiki Sakurakoji.

"Sakurakoji-kun's cooking skills are really amazing."

"Right, right?" Ogiso Setsuna puffed out her chest proudly, as if she were the one who cooked.

"How dare you say that? Don't you even look at yourself? What do you have that compares to Sakurakoji-kun?" Akina Ogiso sighed, feeling worried about her daughter's future for the first time.

"Compared to Caihua-kun, this is too much to ask..." Ogiso Setsuna was troubled.

“But now I finally believe that Sakurakoji-kun is indeed a head chef.” Akina Ogiso rubbed her cheek with a frustrated expression, then picked up another piece of teriyaki chicken and put it in her mouth.

"So didn't I already say that!"

"But it is indeed hard to believe."

"Not at all, it was just something I did casually, Auntie, you flatter me," he humbly declined.

"No, the food today was really delicious, wasn't it, honey?"

“Well, I think you can be proud of your skills.” Ogiso Susumu, who hadn’t intended to offer praise, had no choice but to give a sincere compliment after being asked.

Although the ingredients and seasonings are all common household items, for some reason, the taste is exceptionally good, comparable to the signature dishes of star-rated hotels.

Even he, who could barely be considered well-informed, traditional, taciturn, and not fond of expressing himself, had to admit that this guy was almost perfect in every way.

"I'm glad my uncle and aunt are happy. I still have a lot to learn and improve."

Is he this humble in personality as well? Kogiso's eyes were complicated.

Although he has always adopted a semi-managed, semi-independent approach to his children's education, and they have always performed well, he can't help but start to reflect on whether his previous educational methods were wrong.

As for Akina Ogiso, she looked at him with eyes full of "love," wishing she could adopt him as her godson right now!

"Speaking of which, Sakurakoji-kun is currently working, which means you're not in school, right? Do you have any plans to do that in the future?"

Suddenly realizing this, Kogiso asked with concern.

"Yes, that's how it is." Sakurakoji's movements paused slightly, but he quickly resumed.

"Because I only came back two months ago, I haven't been studying in Japan yet, but I will go back after the start of the next semester."

“Oh right, the school system in the US is different from that in Japan,” Akina Ogiso chimed in.

Setsuna and Takahiro Ogiso, standing nearby, remained silent, focusing solely on eating while eavesdropping.

"Hmm, so you'll stop working next semester?" Kogiso asked.

“No, because our work hours are mainly in the evening, so it’s fine to start after school.” He shook his head.

"Huh? Won't this be too tiring? And won't it affect your studies?" Akina Ogiso asked with concern.

"Probably not. I'm quite confident in my studies, and the work there isn't actually very tiring. In fact, I don't have much to do at night."

“Since you say so, I suppose there’s nothing to worry about.” Kogami nodded.

Sakurakoji looked at him with some surprise, not expecting him to trust him so much.

"Eh? Caihua-kun is going to school? Which school?" Upon hearing the topic she was interested in, Ogiso Setsuna quickly asked.

"Hmm...that's a secret, but not about Mine City." Upon hearing this question, Sakurakoji Sai's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

"So stingy~ But it's such a pity, if we were in Fengcheng we could see each other every day." She looked genuinely regretful.

"I'm sorry, but this was decided a long time ago, and there's nothing I can do about it." Sakurakoji Sai smiled awkwardly.

"There's no need to apologize for such a small thing."

But, a school?

If they hadn't brought this up today, he would have almost forgotten that today is March 23rd, and in about a week, he will officially start school.

In addition to his current daily tasks, he will also have to attend school, which will probably make him even busier than he is now, and his burden will become even heavier.

Damn it, life is really treating him like a Japanese person!

How can he be even busier when he's already like this?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but bite the chopsticks he was holding in his mouth.

However, this was a decision he had made himself, so he couldn't blame anyone else. With a sigh in his heart, he continued eating as if nothing had happened.

……

"How is it?" Setsuna Ogiso asked, looking at him.

"Well, how should I put it? She has the air of an ideal girl, doesn't she?" Sakurakoji Saiko surveyed the room's layout and gave her assessment.

"Eh... the way you put it... it feels a bit off..."

After finishing his meal and helping with the dishes, he went to Ogiso Setsuna's room on the second floor at her invitation.

"There's nothing I can do; this is the first time I've ever seen such a standard and normal girls' room."

This is true. Although he has met many women so far, and most of them are high-level women with excellent looks, he has actually been to their rooms very few.

My sister and relatives are obviously not normal people. In addition to being high-end and expensive, the furnishings in their rooms are also extremely uniform in style, either modern or retro, leaving no detail overlooked.

Although you can see the atmosphere of daily life, it is more like a small art gallery than a residential house.

Apart from that, he hadn't been to the homes of many of the people he knew outside.

Although he was familiar with the group of people from Fanxing, he had never actually been to their homes, nor had he been to Aoyama Nanami and Hoshino Ai's previous small apartments.

The only places I've actually visited are Isagi Jinna and Kawara Momoka in Kawasaki, and Shiina Mahiru's house in Fuchu City.

Jing Qinrencai's apartment was small and empty because there was nothing there when she first moved in;

Momoka Kawahara's previous room was quite nice, tidy, clean and fully equipped, but the bookshelves and surrounding area were mostly filled with records and music-related equipment, and there would normally be no kitchen counter or sofa in the room;

Shiina Mahiru's room... that's such a room, it has no personality at all, it seems to be just a place to eat, read, and sleep, it needs to be properly remodeled and adjusted.

From this perspective, this pink-themed room, filled with dolls, wardrobes, dressing tables, photos of friends on the wall, a desk full of personal belongings, and many other "ordinary" items, is what most people would consider a normal girl's room, right?

Moreover, there was a faint fragrance in the air, though it was unclear whether it was from aromatherapy perfumes or household products such as shower gel and shampoo.

Overall, it's very reassuring.

"Hey, Caihua-jun has been to a lot of other girls' rooms too."

Sakurakoji stopped looking around and slowly turned to her, as if he could see a few dark lines behind her cheerful smile.

"Actually, I haven't been to many places, and they are all too individualistic."

For some reason, even though there was nothing there, he felt a little nervous, afraid that she might suddenly pull out something shiny from behind her.

"I know, Caihua-jun is sure to be very popular." She pouted slightly, her tone a little sullen, but quickly returned to normal.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. Please, make yourself at home."

“Ha…” He carefully sat down at the small table on the floor, trying to break the silence, his gaze falling on the photos on the wall.

"Speaking of which, the photo on the wall, is it of your friend, Setsuna?"

"Interested?" Ogiso Setsuna sat down next to him, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him with a mischievous expression.

"……Please say."

"Since you put it that way, then let me explain it to you."

But soon, he regretted it.

"..."

"..."

"And then, the boy who confessed to me had a girl who had a crush on him since the beginning of junior high school."

"..."

“Even Mirina, Hidemi, and Junko have suddenly stopped talking to me…”

"..."

"That's what happened when I was in my third year of junior high school. Do you understand?" She looked at Sakura Koji, whose eyes were already lifeless, and asked urgingly.

After Sakurakoji agreed, she spent over an hour telling him about her past friends in the photos and their stories.

“I understand,” he said, coming to his senses. “I understand that this is the unfortunate situation of a lovely girl who was once loved by everyone and had many friends, but was forced into isolation by a small group because of two unrequited loves.”

"This shows that love is poison and should not exist in middle schools."

"Middle school students should all be studying! Kou Lou Ya Lu!"

"...Um, how exactly do you interpret what I just said in this way, Saiki-kun?" Ogiso Setsuna was speechless, sweat beading on her forehead, looking at him with a dark expression.

"Isn't that right?"

"That's not wrong... Ah, never mind." She sighed.

After that matter was put behind them, the two started talking about something else.

Half an hour later, seeing that it was almost time, he said goodbye.

……

"You'll definitely come again next time!"

Goodbye, Sakurakoji-nii!

"Goodbye, Sakurakoji-kun."

"I apologize for disturbing you all today. See you next time." After bowing slightly, Sakurakoji Saiki walked out of the Ogiso family home, escorted by Ogiso Setsuna.

"I'm sorry, my family is so noisy." After walking a distance, Ogiso Setsuna apologized to him.

"No, my uncle and aunt and my brother Xiaohong were very welcoming, and I am very grateful."

"Hehe, it's great that you think that way!" She walked ahead, hands behind her back, laughing as she twirled in circles.

"Thank you for your help today, Caihua. I will definitely go to 'STARRY' to see a show again next time."

"welcome any time."

"I might bring my mother and the others with me then, so you'd better behave yourself!"

"Since you've put it that way, it seems I have no choice but to work hard."

"Ha ha……"

After walking a few hundred meters, Sakurakoji stopped her from continuing.

"That's enough for now, see you next time."

"See you."

The two stared at each other for two seconds, a faint emotion swirling in the air, but soon he waved his hand, turned around, and walked toward the next place.

Just like last time, Ogiso Setsuna watched him disappear around the corner.

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 107 Conspiracy, Plan, Concern

Some time after leaving the Kiso family, Sakurakoji received a phone call.

It's not a work-related matter, nor is it a family matter.

Rather, it was a task he had assigned a few days ago, and now there was a response.

"Thanks for your hard work."
