He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

"We're old acquaintances, you could say." Shirakawa used a toothpick to pick up a complimentary takoyaki and put it in his mouth.

......

It's still just as boring...

“Come on, feed me one, Shirakawa…” Nikaido said, his mouth agape.

"Okay." Shirakawa picked up another one, intending to feed it to Nikaido.

"Hey, you guys." The Mido sisters and Jackie suddenly appeared behind Nikaido.

"You guys had a lot of fun while we were away."

261. Caught red-handed!

Oh no, we've been caught.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. It's an annual celebration, so it's definitely something to spend with good friends or loved ones.

If I disappear without telling them beforehand, they'll definitely have to search for me for ages.

What a mistake.

Before Shirakawa could explain, Nikaido spoke first.

"Today, Shirakawa is mine, and none of you can take him away." Nikaido pulled Shirakawa to his side with his strong arm.

Sakura didn't say much.

Sakura and Nikaido have a very good relationship, after all, they are comrades who shared a bed and even formed a temporary alliance. If Shirakawa really wants to play with Nikaido, she doesn't really have much of a problem with it, at most she'll just feel a little disappointed.

But Maki is different. She and Nikaido are like oil and water, and seeing Shirakawa and her together makes her jealous.

"What do you mean 'yours'? He's my boyfriend! Give me back my boyfriend!" Maki blushed and grabbed Shirakawa's arm, pulling him toward her.

Jackie watched the show with great interest.

"Boyfriend? So what if we have a boyfriend? We were just going to the school festival, it wasn't a private date, right, Shirakawa-kun?"

"Is that so...?" Shirakawa didn't dare look at Maki, deliberately shifting his gaze away.

"Shirakawa, you..."

"Hmph~~ Could it be that you want to control Shirakawa's personal freedom? Ah~~ No wonder little Shirakawa wants to be with me." Nikaido hugged Shirakawa again and said sarcastically.

Huh? How did Nikaido manage to make something like this about a mistress stealing the wife sound so noble and respectable...?

Shirakawa thought to himself.

"Sister..." Sakura was getting anxious. One was a temporary ally, and the other was her blood-related sister. It was difficult to help either of them. Moreover, if Nikaido got impatient and revealed the details of the multi-person battle that night, things would be terrible.

"No, don't make baseless accusations and distort the facts! Isn't it perfectly normal for a boyfriend to accompany his girlfriend to the school festival?"

"Who said that friends can't hang out together? I'm Shirakawa's older sister, and Shirakawa is my younger brother. Can't the two of us hang out together?" Nikaido retorted.

Nikaido's "outrageous" behavior is largely due to Shirakawa standing on her side.

"No, you..." Maki was anxious and couldn't think of a reason to refute, "Shirakawa... right, did you force Shirakawa to be with you? Did you!"

"No, Shirakawa invited me to the school festival," Nikaido said smugly.

"Is that so, Shirakawa!" Maki looked at Shirakawa, her eyes filled with anger.

"Yes... I guess so..." Shirakawa stammered in admission.

"You, you two!" Maki was so angry that her face turned red.

Nikaido secretly rejoiced at Maki's indignant expression.

"Little Shirakawa, weren't you going to feed me just now? Come on, ah!"

Nikaido brushed a strand of hair behind his ear, peeked out, opened his mouth, extended a small snake, closed his eyes slightly, and revealed an expression of enjoyment.

It looked like they were eating that kind of thing.

Shirakawa used a toothpick to pick up the takoyaki he had just eaten and slowly put it into her mouth.

"Wow, Shirakawa fed it to me, it's so delicious, it bursts in my mouth, it's sticky and fragrant, I feel so happy."

Nikaido's tone and expression were quite affected, clearly meant to annoy Maki.

"You~~you~~"

Isn't this just face-to-face NTR?!

Enraged, Maki rushed forward and shoved Nikaido aside.

"What, what's wrong? Do you want to fight?" Nikaido's previously blissful expression turned into anger.

"Stay away from Shirakawa!"

"I won't!"

"Hey, sister, don't rush!" Sakura saw the situation was getting out of hand and quickly tried to break up the fight.

......

"Students, welcome to the annual knowledge quiz competition."

A small stage had been temporarily set up over the playground, and the host on the stage was giving a loud speech.

Groups of students had already gathered below the stage.

The noise and sound of the music were so loud that they could be heard even from the stall area.

Suddenly, Jackie had a flash of inspiration.

She first separated Maki and Nikaido, who were about to fight.

"Calm down first. Since you're arguing so much about going to the school festival with Shirakawa, I have a good idea that can help you allocate Shirakawa reasonably."

"What's a good idea?" the two women asked at the same time.

Jackie pointed to the playground and said, "Let's form two teams to participate in the quiz. Maki's team and Nikaido's team. Whoever wins, Shirakawa belongs to them today. How about it?"

“Great idea, I think it’s a good idea.” Maki immediately agreed.

She's an excellent student, with top grades and extensive knowledge of literature. She has no chance of losing in an activity that tests both her knowledge and intellect.

"Knowledge quiz..." Nikaido looked troubled.

She knew she wasn't very smart, and participating in this kind of activity would only result in her being completely outmatched.

"What?" Maki raised an eyebrow. "Are you scared?"

"Afraid!? Ha! Ridiculous," Nikaido successfully fell for Maki's provocation. "Afraid of you? Let's fight then."

So, the group headed towards the playground.

Inside the Student Union Office.

Xing Gongxi sat at her desk, elbows resting on the wooden table, hands crossed and placed under her chin, as if deep in thought.

Her bodyguard, Hoshimiya Rin, was still standing beside her.

Boom!Boom!

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, revealing Rie Hoshimiya and her two bodyguards.

Hoshimiya Rie entered and bowed slightly to Hoshimiya Shio: "Master, you wanted to see me?"

Rie can be more relaxed in front of those girls, but in private meetings like this, she has to be reserved and clearly distinguish the hierarchy of their positions.

"You were a great help today. Without your narration, the stage play would have been very difficult to perform," Hoshiguchi praised.

"It is my honor to be able to help the head of the family." Hoshimiya Rie appeared expressionless on the surface, but was secretly overjoyed.

My relationship with my daughter has finally improved.

Before Rie could even feel happy, Hoshimiya Shio's tone suddenly turned icy: "However, helping is one thing, but why did you come to the gymnasium to see me?"

The implication was that Rie was being held accountable.

Hoshimiya Shio dislikes her family members having any connection with her friends.

"This is the first time the head of the family has participated in a large-scale event involving people of his age, and I'm very worried."

"Who are you? Do I need you to worry about me?" Xing Gongxi retorted.

"No need," Rie replied expressionlessly.

She felt a deep sadness in her heart. Although Xing Gongxi had always treated her this way, it was still very painful for her as a mother to hear her daughter say such things about her.

"You know that's good. From now on, show yourself less often at school and in front of my friends," Hoshimiya Shio warned.

"I understand, Patriarch."

“And another thing,” Hoshimiya Shio leaned forward, her expression turning quite serious, and asked, “What was Shirakawa’s promise to you?”
