"So that's what happened. You mean the photos in the group were just a misunderstanding?"
Resting his chin in his hand, Shinji Tokita frowned after listening to the entire explanation, but he still maintained a fairly skeptical expression.
"That is true..."
No matter how disappointed the senpais were, Chisa Kotegawa cruelly nodded frantically, finally shattering the last bit of hope the senpais had.
Disappointment...
Their demeanor instantly became subdued. Shinji Tokita sighed and put the wedding money back into his pocket. Ryujiro Kotobuki also put back the classic works and discs that Iori might no longer need.
As for the remaining senpais, they scattered to take down the balloons and flowers in the shop, and simultaneously flipped the "Closed for Business" sign to "Open for Business"!
"The senpais' unique execution power is remarkably strong..."
"Alright, so now the problem is!"
Amidst Iori's complaints, the senpais finally restored everything to its original state and gathered around again. However, this time, the focus of their attention was on the two girls.
"These are Iori and Yuu's little sisters?"
"Mhm, this is Iori's little sister, and my cousin, Shiori Kitahara~"
Standing up as Nanaka-san introduced her, Shiori Kitahara bowed respectfully: "Hello everyone, my name is Shiori Kitahara. I apologize for the trouble my older brother has caused you!"
"And this one is little Rin, Yuu's little sister. We met once in Tokyo."
"Yes, my full name is Miyazawa Rin. I came suddenly because of my unworthy older brother. I apologize for the intrusion!"
"No, no! Rin-chan, you're too polite..."
Hastily waving her hands to show she didn't mind, Aina Yoshiwara, the only one in the Pab Club with a significant conscience, glanced slightly backward, but in the end, she couldn't help but ask.
"Um, Yuu..."
"Did you mean my older brother?"
The usual Miyazawa Rin prefers to be quiet with others. The reason is that her aloof exterior can physically reduce the likelihood of being troubled.
But how can she be so impolite when facing her Onii-chan's friends!
A naive smile appeared on her face. She slightly tilted her head and patted her Onii-chan, who was tightly bound with hemp rope on her back, and chuckled: "He's clearly in very good condition, still kicking and full of life!"
"That's completely inaccurate. Yuu looks like he's rolling his eyes!"
"Oh, really!"
Quickly loosening the rope gag on Miyazawa Yuu's mouth by two layers, she rubbed the back of her head sheepishly: "I apologize, it's my first time tying someone up. I'm not very proficient..."
"Ah, so it's your first time tying someone up. I see..."
"It's normal not to be proficient the first time. Rin-chan, don't be discouraged~"
Honestly charmed by such a cute little sister, Shinji Tokita and Ryujiro Kotobuki nodded repeatedly, feeling like they were basking in a spring breeze, and gave her a thumbs-up representing their approval.
"Hey! Do you guys have hearts? Can't you see I'm about to be finished off, senpais!"
His eyes splitting with rage, Miyazawa Yuu's lungs were about to explode watching the senpais' comforting expressions!
He didn't know what was going on today. First, he was ambushed by Chisa, and now he's being subjected to BDSM play by his suddenly appearing little sister!
This isn't right, is it? The old almanac didn't say today was bad for little sisters!
"Onii-chan, if you shout so loudly at the senpais, I, as your little sister, will be very troubled!"
"Exactly, Yuu. Rin-chan is such a good kid. Is there something she came here for?"
"Yes~"
Nodding gently and harmlessly, she pointed to the beach outside and explained in a whimsical tone: "I want to throw my brother into the sea to fish for sharks!"
"I'm telling you, senpais! If I'm thrown into the sea like this, I will really die! The Pab Club's three meals a day will be gone!"
Although he didn't know what his little sister was trying to pull, Miyazawa Yuu understood one thing: when a person is killed, they die!
Even the invincible, muscle-bound man of the universe, if thrown into the sea to feed sharks when he can't exert any force, the only outcome is a return to nature. There is no other option!
"Hiss, so it's about three meals a day? Rin-chan, how about we untie Yuu first, and then he can go shark fishing with you after his body recovers?"
"Ugh... although I'm very unwilling, that's the only way."
Pondering for two seconds, Miyazawa Rin saw that with so many senpais watching, she definitely couldn't throw Yuu into the sea to feed the sharks.
She had no choice but to reluctantly pull out a two-finger-wide dagger from her lower leg and gently cut the ropes on the former's body.
"Onii-chan, this life was given to you by the senpais. Cherish it~!"
"I thank you all. If it weren't for Rin-chan and the senpais, the danger would have been nipped in the bud long ago!"
Wriggling his wrists twice, Miyazawa Yuu looked at his forearm, which was bruised with red marks, and felt a rush of fear.
Putting aside whether Rin intended to kill him or not, this little girl's state was clearly wrong!
He remembered she was just a normal middle school student half a month ago. Now, how did she suddenly transform, not only awakening her bloodline but also achieving Release? In short, it's preposterous!
"In any case, why did Rin-chan come here? It's strange, isn't it?"
"Exactly!"
Instantly finding solidarity, Iori Kitahara immediately put his arm around Miyazawa Yuu's shoulder and asked fretfully: "Didn't the situation already get reported in the letter yesterday? There was no need to chase after me, right?!"
"That's true, but my brother's letter said he was studying seriously every day and living a clean and simple life."
Her eyes were completely ignoring her foolish older brother. Shiori Kitahara slightly looked at the terrifying girl next to her. The two instantly exchanged information.
First, although surprising, the other girl was definitely the oni-kon girl she knew from the group chat!
But it's truly baffling. According to her surveillance of GrandBlue, the young man named Miyazawa Yuu, though slightly more normal, is also a pervert!
Would a girl really like an older brother who drinks naked all day? That point remains questionable!
Thinking this, she drew her attention back, turned to look at her foolish Onii-chan, put her hand on her chest, and continued to explain: "But I'm sure all of that was fabricated, so I came in person."
"I see..."
"That's sharp intuition!"
Aina and Chisa were too embarrassed to refute this point, as Iori's real life was the clearest contrast to clean and simple!
Honestly, if it weren't for the constraint of the law, that guy would probably commit any outrageous, sanity-shattering act!
"Who says that? Maybe it's true?!!"
Caught in a lie, Iori Kitahara broke out in cold sweat.
But for the sake of his reputation in his little sister's heart, he still gritted his teeth, propped himself up, and pressed his hands on the latter's shoulders, trying to use a sincere look to influence his foolish little sister.
"Shiori-chan, think about it. Have I ever lied to you even once? You know this, right?"
"Yes..."
"So, I'm saying!"
Putting on a thick skin that wouldn't blush no matter how much he lied, Iori Kitahara was as firm as if he were stating established fact.
"I, as a person, absolutely hate lies and dishonesty the most!"
"Ah... about that."
Taking out a collection of newspaper clippings from her package, Shiori Kitahara opened the first page in front of everyone. Several news headlines that exploded into view read:
[Shock! A masked naked man appears at the Izu Academy Entrance Ceremony! Rumored to be a man surnamed Kitahara!]
[Cross-dressing celebrity appears at the Izu Manhood Contest?! Critics angrily denounce: Contemporary Japanese university students are a lost generation!]
[The tavern puppy, is it the master's game or...]
...
"Onii-chan, these are all about you, right?"
"..."
His complexion no different from a dead person, Iori Kitahara stiffly turned his head away, struggling to squeeze out a few words—
"Th-those are all fake news. The media these days is too mean!"
"But Onii-chan..."
"Ahaha, everyone, stop looking!"
Those despicable, unscrupulous media outlets! They actually investigated the matter so thoroughly!
Tears of blood streamed down his face. Iori Kitahara had no choice but to forcefully change the subject for self-preservation: "Um... why did Rin-chan come here!"
"To kill!"
Returning to her quiet loli state, Miyazawa Rin slightly bowed, her hunting gaze locking onto her older brother, who was attempting to hide. She explained without reservation: "Because I was afraid Onii-chan would do bad things, it's easier to just kill him!"
"Ah~"
Cupping her cheeks, Aina Yoshiwara nodded and cleverly summarized: "So she has an oni-kon. Is she afraid her brother will be snatched away? She's just like Chisa~"
"Mhm, mhm!"
Having similar experience in trying to kill Yuu, Chisa Kotegawa hugged little Rin with sympathy, attempting to soothe the other party's heart with a warm embrace.
It must be very hard when your older brother or sister suddenly leaves your life. She must be going through a tough time!
"Wait, how did you two hear oni-kon from a declaration full of killing intent?"
Looking speechlessly at the love-struck Aina, and the already beyond saving Chisa who was infected by her, Miyazawa Yuu waved his hand, refusing to accept that explanation.
"This kid is very independent. She hasn't been willing to sleep with me since she was four! So, she absolutely cannot have an oni-kon!"
