I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

"Um...Maria, just keep talking and stop pulling at my straps!"

After rescuing the shoulder strap that was already under great pressure, Naruse Mio turned her face away with a slightly red face and some anger.

"Besides, whether he replies to other girls' messages or not has nothing to do with me. Can I stop him?"

The first half of the last sentence seemed to sound a bit arrogant and angry, but the second half of the sentence could no longer conceal the little girl's aggrieved complaints.

Wan Liya sighed softly and shook his head in a sophisticated manner.

"You can't say that. Mio-sama, you have to have confidence in yourself and firmly believe that you are the queen. How can you bow your head before even competing?"

Naruse Mio: "..."

This is not a question of whether to bow her head or not. In terms of seniority, she even has to call Hua Kaiyuan Fogui her brother-in-law. It has come to this point. What relationship does it have with the queen?

To add fuel to the fire, one must do so from both sides. Seeing that there was no significant effect on Naruse Mio's side, Maria turned again to the boy who was closer to her.

"Hey, Mr. Fogui, don't you see that Mio-sama is angry? Aren't you going to comfort her?"

That's because you're frantically trying to sow discord over there...

Huakaiyuan Fogui couldn't help but hold his forehead in his heart, but he had to admit that he was indeed responsible for this.

After all, it’s not a good idea to reply to other girlfriends’ messages in front of your girlfriend.

Thinking of this, Huakaiyuan Fogui put away his phone, pushed himself up with his knees, and stood up.

Eh?

Wan Liya was slightly stunned, feeling that this posture was somewhat familiar. It seemed that every time Mr. Fogui was about to leave, he would stand up like this, then say, "It's getting late, I'm leaving first," and then leave directly.

So, could it be that this time too... No! She simply wanted to help Master Mio. If she said something wrong and Master Fogui got angry and left, she would be in big trouble!

Just as the nightmare girl was thinking this, she saw Hanakaiin Fukui get up from the sofa, turn around and walk to Naruse Mio. Ignoring the red-haired girl's screams, he picked her up from the sofa in his arms like a princess.

"Wait, wait, Buddha...Brother-in-law, what are you going to do..."

She never expected it to be so direct. Feeling the boy's breath approaching, two seductive blushes instantly appeared on Naruse Mio's cheeks.

Hanakaiin Fogui shrugged. "It can't be helped. Like I said, the Brave Village has been paying close attention to the situation in Kanto lately, so it would be best if you don't even leave the guest rooms here, let alone go shopping... Originally, I wanted to wait a little longer, but since Maria said so, let's take a shower and go to bed early~"

Wash, take a shower and sleep?!

Of course, it couldn't be what it meant literally. When Naruse Mio heard these four words, her face flushed even more.

"But we just had dinner..."

If you do it right after eating, you will definitely vomit!

The red-haired girl was still hesitating whether to refuse, but it was too late.

Bang.

As the sound of the bedroom door closing echoed in the living room, a ray of golden power flashed past the door and instantly formed a soundproof barrier that enveloped the entire bedroom.

Meanwhile, outside in the living room—

"Ah, they just went in like that."

Xuela covered her mouth in surprise.

Although she knew that Huakaiyuan Fugui had always been the kind of person who would never hesitate when it was time to act, she originally thought that it was only limited to one-on-one situations, just like what they experienced last time. But she didn't expect that he would be so open when there were many people around.

He's truly the man she's attracted to~?

“Yes….”

Wan Liya was still looking in the direction of the bedroom, with a hint of hesitation in her tone, as if she was still thinking about something.

Seeing her daughter like this, Xuela pursed her lips and smiled gently.

"Why, is our Maria also moved? It's okay, they say love is like war. If you are moved, how about joining in now?"

"Eh? Ah... this..."

As if the thoughts hidden deep in her heart were finally discovered, Maria suddenly became panicked.

Xuela smiled slightly and with a snap of her fingers, she removed the soundproofing barrier set up around the bedroom.

"Such a simple soundproof barrier... Okay, now let's hear what progress has been made."

Soon, as the light of the barrier completely dissipated, the red-haired girl's voice in the room instantly penetrated the wall and echoed in the living room.

Having clearly heard the voices in the room, Zest turned her face away silently, a barely perceptible blush on her wheat-colored cheeks.

As someone who had experienced this, Xuela naturally smiled.

Although Maria's cheeks also flushed, her face was more full of amazement.

So, Mr. Fukui and Ms. Mio always make it this intense...

It's as if I can feel my stomach churning just by hearing the sound.

However, at this moment, Maria suddenly felt someone poking her shoulder from the side.

Turning around, it was her mother.

"…What's wrong, Mom?"

"Nothing~"

Madam Xuela smiled slightly, and touched her daughter's brow with her green fingertips. Purple magic representing the power of nightmare immediately spread out.

"But as a mother, when I see my child in a state of indecision, I can't help but want to help."

"So, if you want to go, let's go together, right? Hehe~"

Chapter 243 Let’s Become Real Sisters~

The scene changes to the bedroom.

On the full-size double bed in the center of the room, the bedding and pillows had long been pushed aside. The sheets, which should have been evenly spread across the entire bed, were covered with wrinkles, as if they had just been pushed and rubbed back and forth vigorously. A faint and subtle scent permeated the slightly damp air.

Naruse Mio, who had just landed on the ground from the clouds, hugged the boy in front of her tightly.

Her breathing had not yet calmed down, and it was particularly clear in the quiet environment.

"Bad guy..."

The girl's hot cheeks pressed against the solid chest, and her plump red lips, soaked in saliva, opened and closed gently.

Ok?

Huakaiyuan Fogui asked a question and looked down.

However, although Naruse Mio said this, her actual action was to hug him even tighter, and then complained again in a low voice.

“Too much…”

Um? ?

Huakaiyuan Fogui became even more confused.

What a bad guy, what an excessive act. Just now, it was a certain red-haired girl with twin tails who was saying “Brother-in-law is so great, brother-in-law is so awesome”, but now she is saying bad things about him.

This...isn't it you who asked for it?

"Na."

Naruse Mio, who was sitting in his arms, suddenly raised her head slightly and looked at him from bottom to top with her red eyes that were still filled with deep water.

"So you haven't told me yet, why didn't you come over these past few days?"

"I told you, there's something else."

"Hmm—so now I'm just asking what the reason is!"

"Oh……"

After being reminded, he remembered that he had mentioned in the living room before dinner that he had told Wan Liya, but the latter forgot to relay it, and then the two girls started fighting with each other and there was no follow-up. Hua Kaiyuan Fogui couldn't help but hold his forehead in his heart.

Then he briefly explained what had happened on Genshin Island the previous week.

Including the dispute between the War King Realm and the Black Death Emperor Faction, as well as the conspiracy of the Black Death Emperor Faction, etc.

Hanakaiin Fukui originally thought that Naruse Mio would be interested in some of the content after listening to it, but what he did not expect was that after he finished speaking, the red-haired girl just said "oh" and nothing else.

"Mio, don't you have anything to ask?"

"……No."

Compared to Hanakaiin Fukui who was a little surprised, Naruse Mio was even more confused when asked this question.

"I just want to know why you didn't come. As for those things you mentioned... well, anyway, those fields and black glutinous rice factions, they have nothing to do with me."

Even though she said this, the red-haired girl didn't show any happiness on her face.

This is very strange.

Hanakaiin Fukui exclaimed in his heart, then gently pinched Naruse Mio's cheek, which was quite similar to Rias's but still had some baby fat.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy staying here these days? Is Maria bullying you? No way."

"That's not the case."

Naruse Mio curled her lips, lowered her eyes slightly, and her expression was dim.

"It just feels... a little different from before."

Different? How?

Huakaiyuan Fogui didn't react for a moment.

After all, Naruse Mio and Maria have settled down in a sense now. They have a fixed residence in Tokyo and are no longer being hunted. (Although they rely on nightmare magic to eat and drink in other people's hotels.)

It's not necessarily that you're used to the life of fleeing every day, and now that the living environment has suddenly become safe, you're not used to it, right?

Is that the thrill of being on the run?

how is this possible.

But other than that, the only change is probably...

As if a flash of inspiration had occurred, for some reason the figure of Mrs. Xuela suddenly flashed through Hua Kaiyuan Fogui's mind.

Okay, now I understand.

To put it bluntly, before this, Naruse Mio and Maria had always been in a state of dependence on each other as sisters. To each other, they were the closest people in the world. Although this state was actually false to a certain extent, this was the case from Naruse Mio's own perspective.

But now Zolgear is dead, and Mrs. Sheila has been rescued and successfully reunited with her daughter Maria.

For Maria, this is naturally the best outcome. Not only does she not have to continue to be controlled by Zolgear and betray her sister because of her mother, but she can also save her mother and the three of them can settle down and continue to live together... Oh, and of course, there is also the maid, Zest.

But from Naruse Mio's perspective, the picture is completely different - the family affection that she finally regained was once again taken away. She is just Maria's sister, but not Mrs. Xuela's daughter.

Now the reunion of Maria and Mrs. Xuela means the restoration of a family.

But she, Naruse Mio, cannot fit into this family.

It’s like two orphans who have been dependent on each other since childhood are suddenly found one day by a couple, who tell them that they are the biological parents of one of them and express their willingness to adopt their biological child’s playmate as well.

This is certainly good for the biological child.

But what about the adopted one?

An orphan is still an orphan, but he orphan has become an orphan living under the care of others.

This is even more unacceptable than the original situation.

"I can't explain why..."

Naruse Mio buried her face in the boy's chest, her fair and round shoulders trembling slightly.

"But during the few days you were away, I felt uneasy every day, hoping you would suddenly show up at some point."

"Even if it's just to sit next to me and reply to messages from other girls..."

There was a slight tremor in the girl's voice, and drops of warm liquid soaked into Hua Kaiyuan Fugui's chest.

"Who knew you hadn't even come back once in all these days!"

"But I'm not Maria's biological sister after all!"

"..."

Huakaiyuan Fogui didn't know how to answer for a moment, and could only gently stroke the red-haired girl's smooth back.
