Chapter 117 A Harmonious Morning Gathering
"Hello, seniors. I am Suoh Yuki, my cousin's cousin."
After Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama sat down in the living room, Yuki Suo also came out of her room because of the doorbell.
Facing the two of them, she naturally maintained a calm demeanor and politely introduced herself.
"Hello, I'm Yui Yuigahama, a classmate of Natsumi's." Yui Yuigahama responded reservedly.
"Hello, we've met before. My name is Yukino Yukinoshita." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded calmly to Yuki Suoh.
"Hmm, I remember you, senior... Well then, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go back to my room first." Suoh Yuki smiled gently, leaving the three of them some space, and returned to her room.
The living room fell silent.
Natsumi lowered his head, somewhat afraid to look at Yukino Yukinoshita. Her eyes were visibly angry as she looked at him.
After all, he forgot to report his physical condition in the group chat.
There was no way around it; the experiment with Shiina Mahiru left him with such unforgettable memories that he couldn't remember anything else.
He feels very guilty right now.
Unexpectedly, Yukino Yukinoshita came to find him in person, and even brought Yui Yuigahama with her.
"Do you have anything to say?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked coldly.
"I'm sorry," Xia Sheng apologized decisively.
"Sigh, you..." Yukino Yukinoshita sighed helplessly.
"Mahiru is right, I really can't be angry with you."
Xia Sheng's attitude was so direct and sincere that her anger dissipated almost entirely in an instant.
"Mahiru?" Yui Yuigahama looked at Yukino Yukinoshita with a puzzled expression.
"Yukinoshita, have you started calling each other by name?"
"Well, we're all companions after all, and we've known each other for so long, there's no need to be so formal."
"Then I'll call you by your first name too."
"Sure, Yui." Yukino Yukinoshita readily agreed, calling out Yui Yuigahama's name first.
"Yukino, hehe~" Yui Yuigahama laughed happily.
"Alright, back to the main topic, Xia Sheng, are you really alright?"
'
"It's okay, I'm fine," Xia Sheng said, standing up and striking a few poses to show off his muscles.
"That's good, it's good that nothing happened." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded with a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, it's good that you're alright. On the way here, I heard Yukino talk about what happened last night, and it scared me to death." Yui Yuigahama patted her chest with lingering fear.
In the morning, Yukino Yukinoshita woke up and, having not received any message from Natsuo, was extremely worried.
She knew exactly when Natsumi woke up; it wasn't a secret that he and Shiina Mahiru went for a morning run together.
She was a little overthinking it, so she contacted Yui Yuigahama and Mai Sakurajima and came over directly.
Mai Sakurajima lives a bit far from here, so it will take her a while to get here.
"It's my fault for not reporting the situation to you in time, which made you worry," Xia Sheng apologized with a smile.
"How dare you laugh?" Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him.
"Of course I should smile, after all, I'm happy that you're worried about me."
"Isn't it natural for us to worry about you? Shouldn't you be telling us not to worry?" Yukino Yukinoshita said irritably.
"That's right, it won't happen again," Xia Sheng assured him.
"And you're not allowed to lie either."
"Then you can rest assured, my greatest virtue is that I tell the truth."
"It's hard not to deny it."
"Hehe~ I like Natsuo's honesty." Yui Yuigahama said happily.
"I'm pretty much the same as you."
"Huh? Yukino, what did you say?" Natsuo stared at her and pressed for an answer.
"It's just your honesty." Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly.
"Can't you just be honest?"
"I have always been honest."
...That makes it even less pleasant.
"I don't quite understand what you're saying?" Yui Yuigahama looked a little confused.
"It's okay, it wasn't a big deal to begin with, just stay like this," Xia Sheng comforted him.
"Hate!"
Yui Yuigahama glared angrily at Natsuo: "You mean you want me to stay an idiot forever, right?"
"You understand what I'm saying, don't you?"
"I'm getting angry!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I'll treat you to breakfast, okay? You probably haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"
"I arrived in such a hurry, I haven't eaten yet," Yukino Yukinoshita replied.
"I don't have any either."
"That's perfect, stay and eat with us. Mahiru and Yuki will cook later."
"They did the cooking, and you have the nerve to say you're treating us?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Natsuo with disdain.
"So what? We're all on the same side."
"...It seems that being thick-skinned is one of your strengths." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head helplessly.
Not long after, Shiina Mahiru, who had just finished showering, came over. She was also surprised to see Yukino Yukinoshita and the others.
After hearing Yukino Yukinoshita's explanation, she understood the situation, but there was nothing she could say.
After all, Xia Sheng didn't report the situation, so she also bears some responsibility.
Feeling a little guilty, Shiina Mahiru acted enthusiastically, even asking the two if there was anything they wanted to eat, saying she could make it.
Yukino Yukinoshita didn't order any food; she didn't want to just wait to eat and wanted to help.
Yui Yuigahama doesn't have any dietary restrictions, and she doesn't order food but instead learns cooking skills from others.
With Yuki Suho added to the mix, the kitchen was now crammed with four young and beautiful girls.
Luckily, the kitchen is big enough.
Xia Sheng, meanwhile, sat leisurely on the sofa in the living room, waiting for breakfast to be ready.
It wasn't that he didn't want to join in the fun, but Shiina Mahiru was afraid he would disturb them, so she didn't let him come over.
Xia Sheng was happy to have some free time.
"Wow, Yuki-chan, is it okay for you to put in so much chili?"
"No problem, Yui-senpai, it's delicious."
"Then I'll try it later..."
The four of them became familiar with each other without realizing it. Natsuo didn't even know when Yui Yuigahama started calling Yuki Suoh by her first name.
However, it's good that everyone's relationship has improved.
Just as breakfast was almost ready, Mai Sakurajima arrived. When Natsuo opened the door, he felt as if an important person had come to his house.
Despite wearing a baseball cap and dressed simply to conceal her identity, Mai Sakurajima's dazzling charisma was still undeniable.
"Welcome, Mai-senpai."
"Are you alright?" Mai Sakurajima entered the room and immediately checked on Natsuo's condition.
She had her worries, but her main concern was that what Yukino Yukinoshita said was a bit scary.
She never expected the second floor to be so dangerous.
"Do I look like something's wrong to you?" Xia Sheng spread his arms wide, showing himself.
Sakurajima Mai carefully examined him and confirmed that he was indeed fine: "Then why was Yukinoshita so early in the morning..."
"There was a bit of a situation there, but it was resolved after we came back," Xia Sheng explained.
"Really? Does that mean we can get hurt there without any worries?"
"Don't think like that. Not all injuries can heal. If something goes wrong, you'll regret it. Besides, I don't want to see you get hurt," Xia Sheng immediately advised.
"I don't want to see us get hurt..." Sakurajima Mai stared at Natsumi.
"Is there a problem? Do you want to see us get hurt?"
"That's impossible." Mai Sakurajima immediately denied it and turned to look inside.
"What about Yukinoshita and the others?"
"I'm making breakfast in the kitchen. Have you eaten yet? Would you like to have some with me?"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Natsumi got Mai Sakurajima a pair of indoor slippers and watched her put them on.
Her feet were surprisingly small, and they were covered in black stockings, with exquisite curves.
The two returned to the living room together, just in time to find that Yukino Yukinoshita had prepared breakfast and brought it out.
"Sakurajima-senpai, you've arrived."
"Sorry I'm late."
"It's alright, we arrived just in time."
"It looks delicious and smells so good! I didn't know you were such good cooks."
"You flatter me."
It was rice again for breakfast, but the side dishes were plentiful, some oily and some light.
This is the first meal of the day, the source of energy.
However, looking at one of the plates of bright red tofu, Natsuo frowned and glanced at Suoh Yuki, whose eyebrows were slightly smug.
"Did you make this?"
"As expected of my cousin, he recognized my work right away."
"You're making Mapo Tofu so early in the morning?"
"Is there a problem?"
f
.....No."
