Until the setting sun slanted westward, the vermilion dyed the earth red.

   Serizawa Yu returned to the apartment.

   "I'm back, Xiaoxiang."

   "Oh, welcome back."

   There was a steady hello from the living room.

   Serizawa Yu entered the room from the entrance, and Shinjoka was closing the drawer of the bedside table, as if he had put something in it.

   In addition, there were some transparent and milky plastic packaging scattered around the other's feet, all of which were opened.

   "Hey, what are these on the ground? Xiaoxiang."

   "Well, that's the packaging I removed from the online shopping, it's the garbage to be thrown away."

   "Well, then I'll take it for you and throw it away."

   "No need, I can still do this myself."

  Xinjoxiang picked up the packages on the ground, threw them all into the trash can, and clapped his hands.

   "So, what about the situation on your side, has the matter been resolved?"

   As soon as this was mentioned, Serizawa Yu couldn't help opening her mouth, then she pretended to be sullen and coughed.

   "Actually about this..."

   has just started a conversation, and the overflowing emotions in her heart made her smile uncontrollably, and she had to cover her mouth with her hands to cover it up.

   "I see, it looks like it's resolved."

"what…?"

   "Then let's talk about it." Shinjo Xiang lazily leaned on the cloth bag sofa, "How did your relatives agree?"

   "Uh, I... didn't say that...?"

   "Stop talking, even if you are a fool, you can see the result, and I don't think there will be any surprises when the president takes action."

   "That's right..."

   Serizawa Yu slumped her shoulders, sat down in front of her feebly, and puffed her cheeks slightly, "But Xiaoxiang's reaction is too boring..."

   Shinjoka ignored her, took apart a fruit gummy and threw it into his mouth, posing as if he was listening.

   And although Serizawa Yu complained, she didn't actually want to hide it, not to mention that she had nothing to do with the other party, so she explained what happened in the afternoon.

  …

   That was when they left the restaurant and arrived near her uncle's house.

  There, she met two special people.

   One is an elite man wearing a high-end suit and claiming to be a private lawyer.

  The other was a middle-aged woman in a professional suit who claimed to be a staff member of the neighborhood committee.

   Both of them seem to be helpers that Brother Yu found.

   After a simple greeting, lawyers and civil servants began to learn more about her.

The content of    is basically about her background and life since she was adopted by her uncle's family.

  Because Yu-ge greeted in advance, so she answered all the questions of the two without concealment.

   After that, she thought she would discuss some strategies next, but she didn't want the serious-looking lawyer to simply say something—

   "Listen to my arrangement when we meet. I will be responsible for all communication with the other party. You two parties do not need to speak."

   Then, she and Motoyama Mina, who were a little confused, went to the uncle's family resolutely. …

The things behind    can only be described as magic.

   She thought that this line of business would be difficult.

   After all, although the uncle's family doesn't care about her, once it comes to the issue of face, they still cherish feathers to some extent.

   And her behavior of wanting to be a child of someone else's family has no intention of publicizing the scandal of her uncle's family.

   Therefore, in her imagination, things must be difficult to solve, and it must be full of resistance and harsh conditions.

   That's true.

   After seeing so many strangers that she suddenly brought back and hearing their intentions, his uncle jumped into a rage, and glared at her with fierce eyes that seemed to eat people.

   As for giving up custody or something, he refused, and had no intention of communicating at all.

   But here is where things take a turn.

   Facing the uncle who was scolding them to get out, the lawyer's expression was still as calm as before.

   Not only is there no emotions such as fear and solemnity, but also the anger and annoyance of normal people after being offended.

   He just calmly took out a business card from the business card holder and handed it to his uncle.

   "It's a pleasure to meet you, sir, I'm a lawyer who specializes in serving the Nakano family. Please give me more advice."

   It was just such a plain sentence.

   The uncle, who had a construction company under his name, who was always the one who talked about it on weekdays, was stunned in the same place as if someone had pressed the stop button.

   As if the raging fire encountered extreme cold, the uncle's angry expression solidified for a few seconds, and immediately became cautious.

   "Which Nakano family?"

   After being asked by his uncle, the lawyer gave an answer without being humble or arrogant.

   "The Imperial House."

   The uncle who heard this answer opened his mouth, and even she could easily see the shaking in his heart, and then he fell into a state of silence.

  The lawyer didn't say anything about it, and it was the civil servant who was in charge of softening his cheeks.

   In a relatively serious but warm tone, the civil servant dragged his uncle to chat.

   On the one hand, he showed his understanding of his uncle, and on the other hand, he patiently persuaded him to give up custody of himself.

   After all, instead of looking at each other like this and hating each other and torturing each other, it is better to let each other be free and never communicate again.

   Some rhetoric can be called a combination of hard and soft.

  The general idea is that if you give up, it will be good for each other, and you can leave a little bit of affection.

  If you don't give up, your family's actions can be regarded as disqualified as guardians. If you go through the litigation process, you will only embarrass yourself.

  Uncle listened to this silently, and the expression on his face kept changing.

   His eyes lingered on the civil servants and lawyers, and finally he lowered his arrogant head and signed the documents brought by the civil servants.

Although the    lawyer didn't say much later, his existence itself seemed to be a shock to his uncle, which made the uncle give up custody of him without any resistance.

   From that moment on, she suddenly realized that she had regained her freedom.

   This kind of development that went smoothly throughout the whole process, without any grievances, not only made her stunned, but even Motoyama Mina was stunned. …

Not only that.

   After leaving her uncle's house, the civil servant asked her and Motoyama Mina to sign the adoption documents, and informed them that they would go back and wait for the notice, and they would be mailed to their home after the formalities were completed.

   This kind of convenient and thoughtful service made them feel dazed and even unreal.

   seemed to see their doubts, and the civil servant took the initiative to explain.

   "This is mainly because the client is over 15 years old and falls into the category of adult adoption, so the legal provisions are relatively loose. But it is still effective, and you don't have to worry about anything."

   In this unexpected development, lawyers and civil servants who had finished their work quickly left.

   After that, Kato Yusuke called three taxis for Megumi, Shiyu, and her, while he and Motoyama Mina took a taxi home.

  The people who have been busy all day are separated.

  …

   "…all in all, that's what happened."

   Serizawa Yu let out a sigh of relief, then took a glass of water for himself and drank it.

   Xin Tiaoxiang was still half lying on the cloth bag sofa, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and finally a faint humming came out of his nose.

   "...So that's the case, is this the world above..."

   From Serizawa Yu’s remarks, she basically didn’t hear any strategy or thoughtfulness, and some only had irresistible pressure on people.

  Although she had long thought that Kato Yusuke would be able to resolve this matter in the end, it was unexpected for her to invite that Nakano-senpai to help.

   This doesn't look like Kato Yusuke's behavior.

   But I have to admit that this kind of one-handed defeat is really great, and it is also the fastest and most legal way.

   On the other hand, that Nakano-senpai really took good care of Kato Yusuke, otherwise, she wouldn't be willing to help with such private matters.

   Thinking of Xinjianxiang here, he couldn't help but murmured with some emotion: "I just don't know how the president is going to repay this favor..."

   But right away, she was amused by her own worries.

   Serizawa Yu, who heard her voice, looked over, "Hey, Xiaoxiang, did you just say something? I'm sorry I didn't hear it clearly."

   "Nothing." Shinjoka shook her head and got up from the sofa.

   "I'm going to take a shower. There are bentos and side dishes I bought from the convenience store on the table. You can warm it up and eat it yourself."

   "Hey, I can cook, why should I buy a bento?"

   "It's nothing, after all, you're quite busy today, so it's good to have a bento once in a while."

   "That's it...Thank you, Xiaoxiang."

"uh-huh."

   Shinjoka waved his hand and walked directly into the bathroom with the home clothes.

   After a while, the sound of rushing water sounded inside.

  Serizawa Yu sat and rested for a while, then slowly climbed to the soft cloth bag sofa, lay down and hugged him.

   Recalling what happened today, I can't help feeling a burst of excitement and excitement in my heart.

   "Hmm... Become Yu-ge's family... I'm so happy..."

  The girl murmured and buried her face in the sofa, shaking her legs up and down.

   "It's okay again... I cook for Yu-ge... Ehehe."...

   Thinking of this, she couldn't help but get even more excited, and even accidentally kicked the bedside table and made a "dong!" sound.

   "It hurts!?" The pain from her feet made her gasp coldly and hug her right foot to sit up.

   Serizawa Yu had a bitter face.

   While rubbing his feet lightly, he looked up.

   I don't know how much effort she used just now, so that even the bedside table was kicked crookedly, and the bottom drawer was also opened by a third.

   That is the cabinet where Xinjoxiang keeps things.

   "No, I have to recover quickly...!"

   couldn't care less, she hurriedly got up and walked over, trying to restore the cabinet to its original state.

   reached out to grasp the handle of the upper and lower drawers, and just as she was about to push it back, the things inside came into her eyes.

"-ah!"

   Serizawa Yu couldn't help but let out a scream.

   There is no other reason for this reaction, just because the things inside are really eye-catching.

  Lan synovial fluid, condoms, eye masks,

  Toys??cuffs, massage??, pink jump??…

   Although there are some things she doesn't know the specific role, it doesn't prevent her from making certain associations.

   Anyway, they are some small toys that are not suitable for children.

   "Xiaoxiang, she was just...hiding these things...?" the girl said tremblingly, her cheeks getting hot.

   The room was unusually quiet, making her pounding heartbeat and breathing especially clear.

  …

   After some time, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

  After taking a shower, Shinjoka put on home clothes and went back to the living room.

   "Huh? Why haven't you finished your bento yet?"

"Well…"

   Serizawa Yu nodded vaguely, while absently poking at the rice with disposable chopsticks, while secretly looking at her.

   "That...Are you comfortable taking a bath? Xiaoxiang."

  “?”

   Hearing this thoughtless conversation, Shinjoka glanced at her strangely, and then replied, "That's it."

   "This, that's it..."

   "Do what?"

"Eh?"

   "Why do you look so sneaky? Do you have anything to say?"

"Uh…"

   Serizawa Yu hesitated for a while, not knowing how to answer.

   It stands to reason that when she accidentally discovered a friend's secret, the correct way should be to pretend not to see it, but the concern in her heart made her suffer a lot.

  After the battle between heaven and man for a while, she couldn't help but say it.

   "Sorry! Xiaoxiang. I just accidentally saw what you put in the drawer."

  The room suddenly fell silent.

   It took a few beats.

  Xinjoxiang lightly frowned and glanced at the bedside table, "Did you rummage through my things?"

   "That's right..." Serizawa Yu said weakly: "Although it was an accident, I'm very sorry...!"

   "...You mean accident?"

   "Yes, I just accidentally kicked the cabinet because I was too excited, and the bottom drawer somehow opened."

   "Is that so."

  Xinjoka nodded, bent his legs and sat down on the sofa, "Got it, see it when you see it."

"Eh?"…

   The bland reaction made Serizawa Yu froze for a moment, "That's it...?"

"if not?"

   "Xiaoxiang, are you...not angry?"

   "It's nothing, you didn't do it on purpose anyway, it doesn't matter." Shinjoka didn't care.

   "Al-though that's true, but..."

   Serizawa Xi looked at her hesitantly, and asked with a blushing face, "May I ask why Xiaoxiang buys those...things?"

   Hearing this, Shinjoka looked up at her, and then smiled playfully, "Why, do you care?"

"this and that…"

  The girl twitched for a while, then nodded her head lightly, and murmured, "Because I think there are condoms inside, so..."

   She didn't finish her words, but she clearly expressed her doubts.

   The smile on Xin Tiaoxiang's face became more and more obvious, so he looked at her with no deep meaning, and slowly said, "Well, it's okay to tell you if you want to know."

"real!?"

   "But before that, shouldn't you explain why there was the same thing in your skirt when I took you to buy clothes last time~?"

"what?"

   Serizawa Yu screamed in surprise, her apricot eyes wide open.

   "Don't try to deny it? That thing fell into the shopping bag at that time, and I helped you put it back in the pocket."

After    was blocked by Shinjoka, the girl blinked several times very quickly, then looked away from her.

   "Hmm- this... It doesn't matter if Xiao Xiang finds out about it. In fact, the day I met you and Brother Yu, I received a condom from the street, so I..."

   "Hey~" Hearing this explanation, Shinjo Kasumi narrowed his eyes narrowly and teased:

   "I see, but you keep it so precious, who are you planning to use it for? Could it be the president? It's going to be family soon~?"

   "I, I, I, I don't... think like that..."

   Serizawa Yu fumblingly defended, shrinking his head as if he wanted to get into the hole, "I was just at the beginning, just in case..."

   Xinjianxiang laughed: "Just in case, do you want to do lewd things with the president?"

   "No! It should be said that this is based on the spirit of mutual support, that's it..."

   "Ahahahahaha, listen to what you are saying, as an excuse, wouldn't this statement be too far-fetched?"

   Ignoring the girl's blushing face to the bottom of her ears, Shinjo Kagura burst into laughter.

   "That's too much... You don't have to laugh so exaggeratedly."

   Serizawa's cheeks slightly puffed up, and she muttered awkwardly, "...Mingming, Xiaoxiang, don't you have a lot of things yourself, don't you?"

   "Ahahaha, speaking of which, I have to tell you too, haha..."

   Shinjoka raised her head while holding her stomach, wiping the tears from her eyes with her fingers, "Do you want to know why I bought those things?"

The    girl nodded affirmatively, "...If you want, I want to know..."

   "I don't really want to or not, I should say I don't care~ Although I think you should have guessed a little?"…

   Serizawa Yu pursed her lips tightly and stared at her with a tight little face, a serious look on her face.

  Xinjoka couldn't help but want to laugh a little bit, but he held back, then pointed a finger at himself, and said with a long laugh.

   "I'm the president's person? So of course those things are gifts for the president~?"

"Eh-?"

   Serizawa Xi was dumbfounded and blurted out unconsciously: "Xiaoxiang is... Brother Yu's person...?"

   "Mmmmm~ That's right."

   "...But! Brother Yu, doesn't he already have a girlfriend...?" the girl asked blankly and puzzled.

   "I know~"

  The smile on Shinjoka's face continued, and she tilted her head and asked, "Why are you showing that expression? Didn't I say it? I'm dependent on the president."

   "Attachment...relationship...?"

   "Is it difficult to understand? Specifically, a fixed partner, but not a girlfriend~"

   "—Isn't that a lover?"

   Serizawa Xi was stunned, and then hurriedly asked: "But Miss Kasumigaoka..."

   "That person~" Shinjoka's eyes moved slightly, "Well, she also knows me~"

  “—!”

   seemed to have received a great shock, and Serizawa Yu was speechless for a while.

  Xinjo Xiang looked at her with a smile, then gently reached out a hand to touch her cheek, and said meaningfully: "I ask you, don't you like the president?"

   "Hi, I like Yu-ge...!?"

   Serizawa Yu was taken aback, then lowered her gaze in confusion, her lips tightly closed.

   "Ahaha, your reaction is so easy to understand~"

  Xinjoka leaned forward as she spoke, moved her mouth to her ear, and said softly, "If it's Xiaoxi, I think we can get along in front of the president~"

  “—!”

  The warm breath drifted into his ears along with the words, and Serizawa Yu's body couldn't help trembling.

   An indescribable tingling sensation spread from her ears to her whole body, causing her to groan "Hmm-".

   "Hee hee, you made a great voice??~" The girl's teasing voice echoed.

   Without going up to respond, Serizawa Yu immediately stepped back on the carpet with his hands and feet, and didn't stop until he pulled a distance away.

   She covered her mouth with the back of her hand with a blushing face, her eyes were full of fear and panic, and she stared at Shinjoka in the distance with a pale face.

   "...Wow wow, Xiao, Xiaoxiang, you're such a luscious talker...!"

   "Really~?" Shinjoka smiled and shrugged, her expression very pleasant, "Anyway, everyone is a girl, so there's no need to be shy, right?"

   "I can't be as calm as Xiaoxiang...!"

   "Ahaha, that's it anyway, next time remember not to mess with other people's cabinets???"

   Shinjoka stretched comfortably, thinking about how to send the gift.

  …
