Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

Of course, this was also because he had nothing to hide in his heart. Thinking of this, Makoto Haramura couldn't help but rub his large hand holding Misaki Shokuhou's hand again.

"Hmph, I'll pass you."

Having her hands handled like that made Misaki Shokuhou blush slightly.

But more importantly, it was something she had offered herself, so she tentatively pulled back a little.

However, because Makoto Haramura held on very tightly, she gave up after the unsuccessful attempt.

"Oh, Yoon-chan must be very sad."

"Alright, if you keep being naughty, I'll really beat you up."

This time, Makoto Haramura didn't hold back at all when he flicked Fremia's head, and the impact made her stagger.

"Let's get to your problem."

"Let me ask you something simple first: do you know what your sister does?"

There weren't any extra chairs in the room, but the floor was covered with the kind of carpets that children use to play on, so Makoto Haramura just sat down on the floor.

"I'm not really sure."

“I’ve asked my sister before, but she never tells me.”

"But I don't think it's such an easy place."

Fremia has always been a very smart child.

They know how to read people's expressions, how to speak properly, and how to hide their true feelings. They may occasionally act a little temperamental, but they never do anything that would put others in a difficult position.

Therefore, she never asked her sister on her own initiative.

"So, is this kidnapping related to my sister?"

In an instant, the child grasped the crux of the problem.

"correct."

"The specific cause is quite simple..."

Simply describe the whole story, its origins, and its beginning.

There were no details concealed; everything was explained clearly in detail.

The reason is also very simple.

He believed that Freya was a sensible child, a child who understood right from wrong.

as predicted!

After listening to Makoto Haramura's words, Freya immediately stood up, her previous nonchalant expression completely gone, replaced by a serious one.

"I'm sorry, Brother Cheng. You've always taken such good care of me, and my sister still did this."

"And you even went easy on my sister."

"That's nothing to worry about."

Makoto Haramura waved his hand dismissively and gently patted Fremia's shoulder.

"Anyway, we've lived together for so long, we're practically family now."

This stems from his past life experiences: the early death of loved ones and the lack of emotional connection, which shaped his personality, making him extremely attached to bonds.

Or rather, he would treat anyone he accepted as family.

"Brother Cheng".

Fremia bit her lip, and her eyes seemed a little moist.

"So Fremia, you need to work harder to convince your sister too."

"Since things are already like this, it's much better to stay with my sister."

Chapter 043 My psychological defenses have completely crumbled; please, Xiao Qi.

"Young Miss, Miss Frenda has arrived."

A rhythmic knocking sounded at the door, and Mugino Shizuri stood there with Frenda, who had finished washing up and looked refreshed.

"In that case, the task of persuading you is up to you."

"There shouldn't be any problem, Freya."

Makoto Haramura didn't seem to intend to stay either, and reached out to pat Fremia on the shoulder with a smile.

"No problem, leave it to me."

Fremia confidently raised her little hand, her innocent face trying her best to look serious.

"Let's go, Misaki. Let's leave this place to the two sisters."

"That's right."

Picking up her handbag, she stood up behind Makoto Haramura.

The two stood up and walked slowly side by side toward the door. Although it was just a normal gait, it seemed to instantly make the atmosphere in the whole room a little more solemn.

Standing next to Mugino Shizuri, the petite blonde girl was visibly trembling.

"I think you, being a pragmatic person, should be able to make the right choice and not hurt that child."

As he reached the doorway, Makoto Haramura suddenly paused.

"Yes Yes--"

Cold sweat instantly soaked her shirt, and her voice trembled, yet it was incredibly loud, like a primary school student suddenly called on by the teacher.

"Ah That's good."

Just like he had patted Fremia earlier, Makoto Haramura patted Frenda gently again before leaving with Misaki Shokuhou.

"Ha ha--"

No sooner had Makoto Haramura left than Frenda knelt down on the ground.

He looked like a drowning person who had just been pulled from the water, his eyes revealing the fear of surviving a disaster, and he greedily inhaled the fresh air.

No one can truly understand the emotional journey Fran had just gone through.

In fact, after waking up and finding herself in an unfamiliar environment, she had already decided to surrender.

Again.

No matter the situation, she always prioritized her own life.

Surrender is certainly shameful and spineless, but for the sake of her own life, she could certainly do it.

So she just waited there for the person in charge to come in, and then she could simply prostrate herself in surrender.

As it turned out, the person who came in was someone she could never have imagined.

For a moment, she thought Mugino Shizuri had come to rescue her and that they had successfully breached the enemy base.

At the same time, she was also relieved, relieved that she hadn't yet become spineless.

Otherwise, he would definitely be burned to ashes by Mugino Shizuri.

However, Mugino Shizuri's next words made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Miss Frenda, does the master request your presence?

what is this?

At that moment, she even wondered if she might have a mental problem, or if she was hallucinating from excessive fear.

However, her constant probing on the way here made her realize a very serious problem.

The person in front of me, Mugino Shizuri, seems to be Mugino Shizuri, yet he doesn't seem to be Mugino Shizuri at all.

To put it simply, this is someone who wears the shell of Mugino Shizuri, but is a completely different person inside.

What kind of feeling does it evoke?

Yes, it's exactly the same as the novels she's been enjoying lately, where the protagonist is reborn through a substitute soul.

But how could such a bizarre thing happen in this world? It's simply impossible.

The only possibility is that it's Mugino Shizuri.

As a Level 5, her memories and past were completely altered by a mental ability user.

fear!

At that moment, all that remained in Frenda's heart was fear.

Is there any difference between this situation and being killed?

Without a doubt, no!

She absolutely cannot be like this.

……

What exactly happened to Frenda's mind was no longer relevant to Makoto Haramura.

He has now left the talent workshop and arrived at the door, waiting for the driver that Misaki Shokuhou found for him.

"By the way, Misaki, you'd better use your methods a little regarding that Frenda."

"Ok?"

"I think you've completely destroyed her psychological defenses."

With her hands behind her back, Misaki Shokuhou tilted her head to the side.

"Of course."

"But for a spineless guy like this, if the same problem arises again, it will be you who gets it."

"Anyway, your ability is to completely change her personality, isn't it?"

No one doubted that Frenda was now truly surrendering.

However, similarly, no one would trust or give Frenda an important position.

Because this is the normal situation.

Normally, killing her would be the right choice, but no matter what, she is Freya's sister.

Therefore, we can only trouble Misaki Shokuhou to completely change Frenda's cowardly and self-destructive personality.

"I understand, don't worry."

"That was my original plan."

"I have no intention of trusting anyone but you."

With a soft hum, Misaki Shokuhou blinked.

That's right, that's just how Misaki Shokuhou is.

They do not believe in uncertain things like 'assistance' or 'trust'. Even if someone is an assistant, they will definitely peek into their mind and thoroughly understand their thoughts and code of conduct.

If it weren't for the words spoken by the deadlock at the moment of the crisis.

At that time, she would definitely have been unable to resist taking action to control Haramura Makoto.

However, all of this can only be described as a coincidence, a matter of fate.

Makoto Haramura stared at Misaki Shokuhou's profile, slightly lost in thought.

Others may not know, but how could he not know?

For Misaki Shokuhou, these might be just simple words, but the fact that she said them speaks volumes about the trust she placed in him and the depth of her feelings for Makoto Haramura.

That's how I made a decision in my heart.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand and grasped Misaki Shokuhou's small hand, which was behind her back, just as she had done before, and held it in her palm.

"I have something I'd like to ask you."

"Wh-what is it?"
