Tokyo Psychic

An and Subaru asked Akira Kurusu, somewhat puzzled, over the voice chat, "Why can you hear so many voices?"

"Both Mu and Xiangzi want to learn how to play games."

"Hey? Does that mean we can all play Left 4 Dead 2 and Divinity: Original Sin 2 together from now on?"

"I thought you were going to talk about Minecraft, Terraria, or Don't Starve."

"Hmph, you know a lot... but I still feel it's not as good as Monster Hunter: World."

"Do you really want to see four katanas standing in front of the black dragon, launching themselves into the air?"

"It's better than everyone being chased all over the map by Duke Shark, who has four times the health bar."

"..."

Wakaba Mutsu and Toyokawa Shoko exchanged bewildered glances, feeling as if Kurusu Akira and Anwa Subaru were having an encrypted conversation. They could hear each word clearly, but when put together, they couldn't understand a word at all.

They played until 11:30 PM before Akira Kurusu saved her game and said goodnight to An and Subaru.

He picked up the milk that Ruoye Mutsu had heated for him from the table and drank it all in one gulp. Then he took a quick shower in the bathroom, went into the bedroom, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep with the two girls sandwiched between him.

The evening breeze blew open the curtains, and the melancholy moonlight shone on Akira Kurusu's face.

186. The first day of officially living together (three-in-one)

（加更：1/6、2/6、3/6）

----------

In the height of summer, May, dawn breaks very early.

At six o'clock, the sky was initially a faint, hazy dawn, with a few sparrows chirping around the bushes. Before long, a white halo spread out, and the golden sun was reflected in the clear, azure river.

In bedroom 302 of "Fujiki-ju," on the large bed, Wakaba Mutsu lay sprawled on Kurusu Akira in a very uncouth sleeping posture, almost like an octopus, her arms wrapped around his neck and her legs clamped around his waist. Rather than comparing her to a "sloth bear," her excessively exquisite appearance and petite, slender figure could hardly be categorized as a "large-sized doll."

It's likely that Wakaba Mutsumi was exposed to the air conditioner all night, and unknowingly ended up in this position.

Akira Kurusu was woken up by the sound of the alarm clock. She noticed that Mutsuka Wakaba was hugging her tightly and trying to curl up, and she couldn't bear to push her away.

Noticing that the girl was about to wake up, he reached under the pillow and turned off the phone alarm. Then, he stroked her long hair and back, trying to coax her back to sleep.

Ruo Yemu had gradually woken up, and it was clearly time to get up. She always had the good habit of getting up immediately to wash up when she heard the alarm clock, but now she was somewhat captivated by this warmth and gentleness...

It's wrong to act spoiled. Ruoye Mu was taught from a very young age that she should try her best to be a "worry-free" child.

So she transferred the innocence and playfulness that a little girl should have to the personality she is now known as "Metis".

Unlike the fake objects portrayed by Mutsuka Wakaba, "Metis" has become an inseparable "real thing" for Mutsuka Wakaba after being reflected in the Impression Space and recognized by important people such as Akira Kurusu. It is a partner that she can try to rely on.

【Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu, it's still early, you can sleep a little longer... after all, you went to bed very late last night!】

Ruoye Mu subconsciously replied, "Staying in bed is not allowed."

【Xiao Mu, Lian is the one who keeps her word in this family now, so it's okay for her to be a little willful!】

【...】

Under Metis's persistent persuasion, Wakaba Mutsumi also wanted to try to act a little more affectionate with Kurusu Akira...

So she stopped forcing herself to get up, and her once clear consciousness gradually faded into silence.

As Akira listened to Wakaba Mutsu's even, soft breathing as she nestled in his arms, and admired her serene and beautiful sleeping face, his mood brightened.

Shoko Toyokawa was already used to waking up early. She would naturally wake up an hour before Akira Kurusu's alarm clock rang, tiptoe out of bed to change and wash up, go to the nearby supermarket to buy some ingredients, and then start thinking about the first breakfast in her new home in the kitchen.

......

[AM. 6:37]

Shoko Toyokawa carefully pulled the doorknob, pushed open the door, and entered the bedroom.

"Good morning..." She looked at Lai Xixiao holding the sleeping Wakaba Mutsu on the bed and playing on her phone, her eyes softening a little. "Breakfast is ready. It's a simple teriyaki chicken leg with rice and miso soup... Ren, are you getting up now?"

As she spoke, Toyokawa Shoko walked to the window and drew back the curtains, instantly flooding the entire space with pale golden sunlight.

Akira Kurusu shielded her forehead with her hand, avoiding the glaring sunlight. "It's about time, after all, I still have to go pick up the cat today."

He hadn't forgotten that Morgana was still missing. If his intuition hadn't told him that Morgana wasn't in danger, he probably would have started a thorough search of the Impression Space overnight.

Toyokawa Shoko walked to the bedside and sat down, nudging Wakaba Mutsu in Kurusu Akira's arms.

Soon, Wakaba Mutsu opened her eyes groggily, "Shoko... good morning."

"Xiao Mu's hair is all messy. Hurry up and get up and have breakfast. I'll comb it a little for you before you go to school."

Toyokawa Shoko's rambling, meticulous manner really made her seem like the lady of the house.

Wakaba Mutsu obediently helped Kurusu Akira sit up, asking, "Should I help Ren get dressed?" She deliberately used the word "help".

Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment, looked at Wakaba Mutsu with a complicated expression, and unusually avoided the question, saying, "Get up quickly."

Wakaba Mutsu hugged Kurusu Akira's shoulders tightly, "I've heard that virtuous wives do this."

"You two aren't married yet."

"Xiangzi is shy."

"Hmph..." Toyokawa Shoko closed the door, turned around and came back, and found Kurusu Akira's school uniform in the closet.

Ignoring the fact that she was still wearing her school uniform, which she had just ironed out the night before, she glared angrily at Ruoye Mu, then kicked off her slippers, sat on the bed, and began to help Lai Xixiao get dressed.

It was probably the first time in their lives that the young ladies had done this kind of service work, and it took them several minutes to get Akira Kurishi dressed and out of bed.

Of course, in the end, it was Akira Kurusu who had to "serve" Mutsumi Wakaba.

This child does have a nanny at home who helps him change his shoes and clothes every morning.

After finishing breakfast, Lai Qixiao sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and began to watch today's news highlights.

Ruo Ye Mu approached with a pair of black stockings, then sat on Lai Qi Xiao's lap, curling her clean white feet and placing them on Lai Qi Xiao's knees, before handing him the stockings.

"Little Mutsu has actually learned to act cute..." Seeing the usually sensible and well-behaved Wakaba Mutsu make such an unusual move, Akira Laiqi happily took the socks from her hand, then held her slightly cold, small and delicate feet, and took the opportunity to play with her pearl-like cute toes.

Ruoye Mu felt itchy, but she didn't resist. She was always very patient and didn't care how Lai Qixiao played with her. She just quietly watched his profile and waited for him to help her put on her socks.

At skin-to-skin contact, the girl's carefully combed and gathered long hair hung in Akira's arms, and the rich fragrance between the strands of hair could be clearly smelled.

The process of changing socks was brief, but Ruoye Mu seemed unsatisfied. She turned around and straddled Laixi Xiao, raising her face and staring at him with her wet eyes.

Akira Kurusu was both amused and exasperated by Mutsuka Wakaba's adorable and even sexy teasing, and could only ask her, "Did Metaphor teach you all this?"

Ruoye Mu nodded, "Metis said that from now on, she won't leave the house without a kiss and a hug every morning."

"These are indeed things that Motis would say. Doesn't Xiaomu find them cheesy?"

Ruoye Mutsu hesitated for a moment, "A little..."

"Only a little? What about more?"

"I actually... I really like it." Wakaba Mutsumi's voice trailed off, then she asked Kurusu Akira uncertainly, "Will this turn me into a bad child?"

"Xiao Mu is a very obedient and sensible child. She can act cute however she wants."

"Yes!" Wakaba Mutsu nodded vigorously. She was genuinely happy. Although her face didn't show any particularly obvious expression, the smile in her eyes was enough to make anyone who saw her feel cheerful.

Then, Wakaba Mutsu hugged Kurusu Akira tightly and took the initiative to lift her small face and rub it against her boyfriend's cheek.

Akira Kurishi held her chin, then lowered her head and kissed the girl's lips.

A shy blush quickly spread across her lovely, fair face, and her light golden eyes closed as she savored the taste of love in this tranquil morning.

After making the bed and carefully folding the quilt, Toyokawa Shoko walked out of the bedroom. Seeing how intimate they were, she hesitated for a while, but finally decided to pretend she hadn't seen anything and walked towards the entrance.

As she passed the sofa, Wakaba Mutsu suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

The girl, panting, leaned on Akira's shoulder and whispered to him, "Shoko wants it too."

The moist, warm breath brushed against Akira's ear, making one's heart flutter.

Akira Kurusu looked at Shoko Toyokawa, whose gaze was darting away. At this moment, Mutsuka Wakaba had obediently climbed off Akira Kurusu's lap, slipped on her slippers, and went around behind Shoko Toyokawa. She pushed her childhood friend's shoulders, who was too easily embarrassed, until she staggered and sat down in Akira Kurusu's arms.

"Please enjoy." Wakaba Mutsu supported Toyokawa Shoko's trembling waist, her face full of seriousness as if introducing a precious treasure.

"Mumi!!" Toyokawa Shoko's voice rose several decibels, but before she could vent her shyness and anger, her mouth was covered.

Her initially assertive attitude softened instantly, and then her straight back gradually slumped down before she collapsed into Akira Kurusu's arms.

The entire process was incredibly rapid, happening almost within a single second.

"I'm completely finished..." This thought flashed through Toyokawa Shoko's mind. Her face flushed red as she lowered her head, only to see Wakaba Mutsumi quietly lying on the sofa cushions, staring at her.

......

Getting up at six o'clock is the right thing to do.

Otherwise, if I linger with two girls I live with for a while, and then get delayed by the morning rush hour, I'll probably be long late by the time I get to the school gate... In that case, I probably won't need to go to school anymore, and I might as well just take leave and come back to start busying myself with important life events... Of course, none of the above is likely to happen.

Although this 17-year-old body could be described as full of energy, it wasn't so full that it could do whatever it wanted.

Akira Kurusu isn't some male protagonist from a hentai manga, possessing endless desires and drive.

However, for a homebody like An and Subaru, whose athletic ability is almost reduced to negative numbers due to their homebody nature, he could probably still be eager to get started every day—but facing a close-knit group of best friends like Wakaba Mutsumi and Toyokawa Shoko, even if he did it once every three days, he would probably have a sore back.

Fortunately, both girls were new to sex and had no interest in learning about such matters, so the conversation was largely left to Akira Kurusu.

The girls did exactly what he told them to do.

Anhe and Subaru are different now. Last night, she texted him on Line asking him to go to a love hotel... Instead of staying at home, this girl is probably secretly playing some visual novels at night.

Akira Kurusu, carrying a trash bag, pushed open the door and saw that the door to apartment 301 next door had opened, and Tomokazu Ebizuka and Rupa were getting ready for work.

Faced with Ebizuka's disdainful gaze, Rupa's admiring and amazed smile, and An and Subaru carrying their schoolbags with resentful expressions, Akira Kurusu took a step back to let them pass first.

An and Subaru stopped at the door and waited until Ebizuka and Rupa came downstairs before suddenly turning around and grabbing Akira Kurusu by the collar.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"You, right now, immediately, ask for leave with me!" Anhe Subaru revealed a murderous expression.

“I remember you’re going to visit the agency that Grandma recommended today… and you also need to help us find out information about that Miss Triangle.”

An and Subaru released Akira's collar, turned around dejectedly and left, "Sigh, this is boring."

“Even if you really take leave, it’s still a waste of time,” Akira Kurusu said, walking behind An and Subaru after changing her shoes. “Anyway, you’ll just be lying there like a corpse for ten minutes at most.”

An and Subaru blushed. "I've been working out a lot lately!"

"Does this refer to hours of thumb-tapping supergrouping with the Switch Pro controller and PS5 controller?"

"Uh......"

While An and Subaru looked around pretending not to understand, Akira Kurusu suddenly realized, "I almost forgot, there's also the index and middle fingers..."

"Shut up! I'm just an ordinary girl, not a saint. How could I not have any feelings in that area at all!"

As they were talking, Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu also went out.

Toyokawa Shoko watched the two talking ahead and quietly nudged Wakaba Mutsu's shoulder. "Mutsu, they seem to be having a great time... Can you understand what they're saying?"

Ruoye Mu's face was flushed, and she lowered her head, refusing to answer Toyokawa Shoko's question.

The boys and girls of the Mind Thieves parted ways at the tram station.

Akira Kurusu walked to Shujin School by herself, while Shoko Toyokawa and Mutsuko Wakaba took the tram to Tsukinomori and Haneoka respectively, and Subaru An took the tram to the office building of the agency.

On my way to school, I unsurprisingly ran into Jing Qinrencai, who was carrying her schoolbag.

As always, Iori Rencai kept nagging at Kurusu Akira, as if adolescence always brings endless complaints and worries.

The girl has recently added another worry to her list—she wants the End Band to surpass Diamond Dust in popularity.

"These things will naturally fall into place after the concert the day after tomorrow." Akira Kurusu really couldn't figure out how a newly debuted band like "Diamond Dust" could compete with the crowd-drawing effect of a concert like the Seibu Dome with 35,000 attendees.

This is where Jing Qinren's biggest worry lies: "That's a venue for 30,000 people! Aren't you nervous at all?!"

"Why be nervous?" Akira Kurusu wasn't nervous when he punched and kicked a popular politician in the street while being watched by a large crowd of passersby.

However, he soon realized that although Izana was genuinely nervous, her deliberate question was actually a subconscious attempt to charm him...

It seems like I've really ruined this child.
