Chapter 269 A Strange Atmosphere, Nakiri Managi's Doubts (Please Subscribe~)

Lucifer appeared unusually calm in the car, and Baphomet simply held Bai Yu without saying a word. The calmness of the two of them made everyone feel a little strange.

But what's even stranger is that Yumeko Jabami suddenly became very quiet. Usually, she would chat with everyone and was a very talkative girl, but now she was silent.

Jinx, who is usually very talkative, was unusually calm as she rested her chin on her hand, bit her thumb, and looked out the window.

Although she doesn't usually talk much, Gurefia, who often checks her phone for news when she's quiet, was just looking out the window in this quiet state, which was rather striking.

Finally, it was Yakumo Ran's turn. Even when Cheng called her name, Yakumo Ran took a long time to process it. For a moment, everyone felt something was off. Kirari asked in confusion, "Yumeko, you seem to be very quiet?"

Yumeko Jabami thought for a moment and said, "It's probably just that I suddenly feel that life is full of uncertainty."

Kirari tilted her head, looking puzzled. What's wrong with this child? Why does he seem so strange? Suddenly, she felt as if the child had grown up in an instant.

Rindou Kobayashi was making a phone call when Yumiko, who was sitting next to him, asked in confusion, "Rindou, what's wrong?"

"Nothing... Hello? Mom?"

Everyone rolled their eyes. So all that seriousness was just to call home. Kobayashi Rindou nodded and said, "Yeah, Mom, just wait to see the photos today. I'm telling you, they're absolutely amazing!"

"Of course, I'm very reliable!"

"Um... then I can..."

"Huh? Mom! Mom! Are we really going to kick me out?! Hello? Hello?! Mom?!"

Kraki laughed and said, "Gentian, give up. How could you possibly go back? You're definitely going to be kicked out. You think you can go back with just a family photo? You're dreaming."

Nakiri Managi nodded and said, "That's right. Besides, you're staying at an inn anyway. Look at me, I'm not worried at all. Even when my father tells me to go home, I don't go back."

Rindou Kobayashi sighed and said, "Alas... my former status in the family is completely gone... Hey! Shiraha!"

"Eh?"

"This is it, I'm completely homeless now, so you'd better treat me well!"

"Huh? Am I not good to you?"

"There's always room for improvement, and I'm talking about the future!"

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Do you remember what I told you?"

"Huh?" xn

Kobayashi Rindou paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Hmm... I remember, then remember it well! Hmm... Sheka has also gotten off the plane, maybe she'll arrive home at the same time."

Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We absolutely have to celebrate today. It's a real family reunion. Hey, let's get this straight, we don't have any plans for tomorrow. Who can't drink today, raise your hand first."

Several people raised their hands, and Zhengyi tilted his head and said, "Huh? What's going on with you guys?"

"You ate too much."

Justice rolled his eyes and said, "So that means... everyone except Orange and Kaguya, right? Okay! It's decided!"

"Huh?!" xn

No one said anything, but Kobayashi Rindou glanced at his phone, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said softly, "Every day is a date..."

Yumiko looked at Kobayashi Rindou with a strange expression. As one of the first to join the group, she was determined to find out more about Kobayashi Rindou; this girl definitely had some secrets.

By the time they saw the coastline, a sliver of sunset was already appearing on the horizon, making the sea look exceptionally beautiful. Kobayashi Rindou breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled as he said, "Shiroha!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"In a bit, you go change your clothes and wake Zi up. The rest of you can wait for Qiaoxiang on the beach. When Qiaoxiang arrives, we'll take some photos first, and then go eat. How about that?"

"Okay!" xn

Kobayashi Rindou thought for a moment and said, "Oh dear, I forgot something. Ran, Yumeko, Jinx, Grayfia, and Baphomet, you guys get off the bus and come with me in a bit."

Eirin Yagokoro asked in confusion, "Huh? Why are there five of them? I can understand the others, but what is Jinx doing there?"

Jinx retorted irritably, "Why can't it be me?! I'm amazing!"

Looking at the adorable yet fierce Jinx, Eirin Yagokoro smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, Rindou, is there some deeper meaning behind your arrangement?"

Kobayashi Rindou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Jinx's task is very simple. She just needs to sit and touch up this girl's makeup, and then have her set the table."

"Lan and Mengzi will come with me to get the things. Gurefia, you're in the kitchen."

Jinx and the other three looked at Kobayashi Rindou with some strangeness. Although the excuse was a bit awkward, there was nothing wrong with what she said, and the basic job assignments were correct. However, all four of them knew that Kobayashi Rindou had other plans.

Eirin Yagokoro glanced at Jinx, who was blinking, and nodded, saying, "This girl definitely needs some makeup touched up, but why not Sora?"

"It's simple. I was just passing by. This girl obviously didn't get her lighting done. Xiao Qiong and the others can handle it themselves. You can just touch up your makeup as you've already done it and wait by the beach."

"Okay... fine, wait a minute, why are there so many people?"

“They’re all WGO employees. I found ten people. Managi, you have to remember these ten people well. It would be a real shame not to give them a reward.”

Nakiri Managi nodded and said, "Hmm, that makes sense. I think there are also internships, right?"

"Yeah, what?"

"If you perform well, you can be promoted to a permanent position later. Let's give you a bonus first!"

Lucifer said softly, "Is it just a reward?"

Nakiri Managi paused for a moment and said, "Then what else should we do? It's just a family photo. If we didn't have stronger execution capabilities, we should have just formed a professional team. The bonus is pretty good."

Baphomet said with a smile, "I have a feeling that you'll end up with a lot more rewards, Managi."

"Huh? Really? Why?"

"Because... Ah! We've arrived! Get off the bus!"

"Oh!" xn

Chapter 270 A serious atmosphere, and everyone was stunned (Please subscribe~)

As soon as they got off the bus, they saw Yuko Ichihara, Leonora, and Yuuka Kazami directing something on the beach, while Erina and the other three were taking pictures of something with their phones.

Meanwhile, on the beach, some employees were repeatedly checking the situation. Mordis said blankly, "My goodness, they're taking this too seriously! I suddenly feel a little nervous."

Justice breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This isn't just tense, it's like we're filming a movie! Gentian, you're really something."

Nami pointed to the platform in the distance and exclaimed, "Wow! That platform looks sparkly from a distance, it's so pretty!"

Lucifer and Baphomet nodded in agreement, and Nakiri Managi said with a smile, "Oh my, such excellent execution! Erina has improved. I thought it would be a mess, but the result is so good."

Kobayashi Rindou also breathed a sigh of relief. Lucifer said softly, "Now you can rest assured, you've been tense all day."

"Hmm? Is it that obvious?"

"Are you kidding? We've been in the same room, how could I not know you? Any thoughts?"

"Thoughts? Hmm... the sunset was really beautiful..."

Lucifer paused for a moment, turned his head to look at the sunset, smiled, and nodded. Kobayashi Rindou clapped his hands and said, "Don't just stand here! Come on over! We're the main characters!"

"Oh!" xn

The group ran straight over. Kraki and the others, who were more composed, didn't run, but Cerberus cheered and shouted, "Wow! So beautiful! So beautiful! So beautiful!"

Leonora smiled and said, "You're all back! What do you think? The result of our afternoon's hard work, isn't it beautiful with the sunset and the waves?"

As everyone approached, they saw the magnificent and dreamlike platform, the soft sunset, the sound of the crashing waves, and the sea that was exceptionally beautiful under the sunset. The beach, decorated with colorful lights and other ornaments, made everything seem so perfect.

Yumiko said with some surprise, "That's really impressive. Your execution is that strong?"

Rindou Kobayashi walked to the edge of the platform, gently touched it, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Yuuko Ichihara smiled and said, "Was that a pleasant surprise for you?"

"Everyone being here is the best contrast, isn't it?"

Justice laughed and said, "Hey! Gentian! Now you should tell me what your surprise is!"

"What's the rush? We'll know after we take the group photo, won't we? Leonora, is the drone confirmed to be working correctly?"

“No problem. Mr. Leto has checked it many times. The spare battery is ready, and the camera is fully charged. We have confirmed it many times, including the position and height of the tide.”

Soryuin Shion paused for a moment and said, "Wait, are you all taking this so seriously? Suddenly I feel like it's a bit inappropriate for me to be so calm?"

"Hmm..." xn

Esdeath glanced at it and said, "I also feel that perhaps we're being a bit too meticulous?"

Kazami Yuuka, holding up a parasol, said softly, "You won't feel that way in a little while. This will be the most special and unforgettable group photo ever."

"Huh?" xn

Kirari asked in confusion, "Erina, what are you four doing?"

Erina held up her phone, looked down at it, and then said softly, "Look at the lighting, Aunt Leonora, the lighting is fine. The camera's resolution is higher than the phone's, so the effect is definitely correct."

Alice nodded and said, "Yes, the shadows in the backlight are fine too. We need to adjust it to the professional photography mode."

"Same here!"

Rantabi said blankly, "My goodness... this is too professional! What are you guys trying to do? It's just a family photo! There's no need to be so serious! Suddenly I feel like we've been playing around like this all afternoon and it's been so carefree!"

"Hmm!" xn

Momoko Akane shook her head and said, "You just need to wait, Shiraha, Shiraha."

"Ok?"

"You should go change your clothes. Sheath Incense will arrive soon. I'll leave Sister Zi to you to wake her up. Gentian Cotton, the cake is ready."

"OK!"

Hancock said somewhat flusteredly, "No...no! This sudden seriousness makes me a little flustered. What should we do?"

Yuko Ichihara pointed to the tent that had been used to store clothes and said, "You guys go touch up your makeup. I'll go with you so that none of you will have trouble getting the lighting right."

"Huh?!" xn

Kobayashi Rindou called out, "Jinx, Yumeko, Ran, Grayfia, the four of you come with me. You can just do your makeup. Baphomet, you too, come with me."

"OK!"

Jabami Yumeko and the others looked puzzled, but they still followed Kobayashi Rindou toward the villa. However, they were soon stunned because the four of them did not go to the villa at all, but went to a pavilion next to the villa.

Gurefia asked in confusion, "Gentian, what do you want with the five of us?"

Kobayashi Rindou shook his head and said, "No, I'm not looking for the five of you, I'm looking for the four of you. Baphomet was just trying to avoid arousing their suspicion. I'm looking for the four of you."

Baphomet said with a smile, "Oh, Gentian, to be honest, I thought you would be looking for Lucy."

"I came here because of you, so it's the most reasonable thing to come to you. Baphomet, go to your room and get a set of cosmetics and a mirror."

"Oh, but what if we run into Darling and Zi? What then?"

Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and said, "Just say that in order to shoot a good outdoor scene and find the best lighting, we did our makeup outside. That's all you need to say. Besides, Zi might stick to Bai Yu, although the probability is low."

"Oh...I see! Eh? Do I need all the cosmetics, or just the ones for touch-ups?"

"Bring everything over here. Little Peach should have brought it; she clearly touched up her skin. We all use the same skincare and makeup products, so just use them directly. Go ahead."

"understand!"

After Baphomet left, Rindou Kobayashi turned to look at the four people in front of him. The four of them felt a chill run down their spines; could something serious really have happened...?

Suddenly, the pavilion fell silent. Jabami Yumeko's beautiful eyes widened slightly, her mouth agape in surprise. Grayfia clenched her fists, her face flushed. Yakumo Ran turned into a steampunk princess, unsure of where to put her hands. As for Jinx, her face was also flushed, and she stood frozen in place, unable to move.

The reason was simple: they never expected Kobayashi Rindou to be so direct, to ask such a question, and they couldn't believe he was being so serious. It felt like things were getting serious...

Let's go back a few minutes...

After Baphomet left, Yumeko Jabami said with a smile, "Rindou-nee, what do you need to talk to the four of us about? I've been thinking about it and I can't think of anything we four have in common."

Yakumo Ran and the other two nodded. Kobayashi Rindou sat on a stone bench and said seriously, "Before I talk to the four of you, I must tell you a premise, a very important premise!"

In their minds, Kobayashi Rindou had always been a somewhat childish and mischievous older sister type who would stand up for them in crucial moments. She was always laughing and joking, spending her days playing, eating, or acting cute with Shiraha. They had never seen her so serious before.

Gurefia said softly, "Tell me, what are the prerequisites?"

"I need you to guarantee that everything you say from now on is absolutely true, absolutely the truth, absolutely! Understand? This is not a joke. You have to take responsibility for what you say. I can give you time to consider, but our entire conversation is only ten minutes long, understand?"
