After a while, seeing that Rakuna was about to be helped down, Bana quickly tidied the classroom to avoid leaving any traces. Just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in her mind:
[System: Field Trip - Wanting to Become Human]
[Field trip requirements: Fulfill the wish of the white cat Xiao Nai and discover Xiao Nai's true identity. Field trip status will disappear upon completion.]
[Field trip status: Completed]
[System Reward: I Have Never Forgotten]
The system reward, which had been previously blacked out, was now finally clear. "I haven't forgotten... Could it be?"
A glimmer of hope appeared in Banami's eyes.
Just then, the classroom door was gently pushed open, and a beautiful white cat with heterochromatic eyes walked in, jumped straight into his arms, rubbed its little head against his cheek, and made a soft "meow" sound.
“Nai…” Banai’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes filled with excitement.
The white cat just stared at him blankly, continuing to rub against his hand without responding. Banami's initial excitement gradually faded, replaced by disappointment, and finally, a sense of relief.
He gently stroked the white cat's head: "I see. Thank you, 'Xiao Nai'."
This was the last gift she left him, besides the scarf—a simple little white cat that could stay by his side.
Seeing the white cat's bewildered look, Banami turned around and said to Ryuna, "Let's go, Ryuna-chan, let's go home."
Kaoru looked at the white cat in his arms, reached out her hand and said, "Hanami, carry me back, I can't leave now."
"Uh, but I'm holding Xiao Nai right now." Bana looked a little embarrassed.
“Then I’ll go tell Matcha Candy that you bullied me,” Yoru said calmly.
Banami was both amused and exasperated.
He finally understood: Rakuna wouldn't be jealous of people, but she would be jealous of her pets. In the end, he could only put the white cat on his shoulder, squat down, and carry Rakuna on his back.
Under the setting sun, the boy carried the girl on his back, with a white cat perched on his shoulder. The shadows of the three of them stretched very long as they slowly walked towards home.
***
On a rare spring afternoon, the sun shone warmly in the courtyard, without rain.
When Banami and Shoko came out of their room and entered the living room, they saw an interesting scene—Yasuka was nestled in the white cat's cat bed, snuggled up close to the cat, and sleeping soundly.
"Why is she sleeping in the cat bed again?" Banami said, somewhat surprised.
"Isn't it great? As long as I sleep comfortably, that's all that matters. Anyway, Rakuna-chan is like a pet, appearing and disappearing without a trace."
It took Xiangzi a lot of effort to convince himself of this.
Xiangzi yawned and said, "Looking at them, I feel like going back to sleep."
"Is it really just sleeping?" Banami raised an eyebrow, her tone teasing.
"What else did you think?" Xiangzi glared at him and pinched his waist. The two immediately started playfully fighting, their laughter echoing in the living room.
Perhaps the noise startled the people in the cat's nest, because Lena rubbed her eyes and slowly raised her head.
Almost at the same time, the little white cat beside her also woke up, rubbed its eyes, and did the same thing as Yao Lenai, with an astonishingly high synchronization rate.
Yoro yawned, her voice still soft and sweet from just waking up: "Yoro, when are you going to tell Hachiro that you actually didn't leave?"
"Hmm, I don't want to say for now, so he won't get too cocky. What does that mean?" Yao Le Nai tilted her head slightly, repeating Xiao Nai's words, but seemed not to quite understand what it meant.
"Then remember to tell me next time you switch bodies," Yoru said earnestly.
The little white cat meowed happily, stretched out its little paw, and gently patted Yao Le Nai's hand.
Not far away, Banami and Shoko also stopped their playful fight and watched this scene.
Sunlight streamed through the window, bathing them in warmth and tranquility.
Volume 15, *Blue Lotus Har*, Complete
Volume Sixteen: Love Should Be Done After Divorce
The first chapter of the new volume begins with a Hatsune Miku joke.
As the sun set, Misaka Hatsuka returned to the Toyokawa family home, bathed in the afterglow.
Since her mother was hospitalized, she hadn't realized that her footsteps would always unconsciously lead her here after school; the Toyokawa family home had become her second home.
She gently stroked her slightly protruding belly, a hint of indulgent smile and annoyance on her lips.
The little one in her belly was unusually restless today, making her vomit several times, even throwing up the little bit she ate.
Judging by the timeline, in about a month, this slightly protruding belly will be impossible to hide anymore. Should I take a break from school to rest at home and prepare for pregnancy, or should I stay at school and face the strange looks from my classmates?
Thinking about this made Chu Hua... unable to help but laugh. Ah, it seems like every option is interesting, especially the latter. After she gives birth, she'll be taking her child to high school... that scene will probably be quite interesting.
Misaka Chuka enjoys being offstage, becoming the center of attention.
It would be even more interesting if another rumor about "Triangle Chu Hua's" younger sister getting pregnant out of wedlock were to surface. She couldn't wait any longer.
Such days are never boring.
The more Chu Hua thought about it, the more excited she became. She decided to tease her useless older sister.
Without even putting down her schoolbag, she headed straight for Hatsune's room, kicked open the door, and shouted, "Sis, I'm home!"
"Whoa—!" Hatsune Miku, startled by the sudden shout, hurriedly hid something behind her back, her face instantly turning bright red. She looked at Hatsuka at the door with a panicked expression, "Hatsuka-chan, why...why didn't you knock first?"
Chu Hua crossed her arms, observing Hatsune Miku's flustered appearance with amusement. She walked into the room step by step, deliberately drawing out her words: "It's because I didn't knock that I was able to discover your little secret, Hatsune-nee."
"W-What secret... I don't know what you're talking about." Hatsune's eyes darted around, not daring to look directly at Hatsuka, and her body subconsciously took a step back, trying to block what was behind her.
Chu Hua wouldn't give her a chance to dodge. She nimbly circled behind Hatsune and pulled out something hidden behind her back. After seeing what it was, she exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow! Hatsune-neechan, is this... the same cat-eared maid outfit as Ryuna-chan?"
The maid outfit in her hand was pure white, with delicate lace embroidered on the collar and cuffs. The cat ears on her head were fluffy, and the tail behind her had a mechanism that could shake. It was indeed somewhat similar to the style that Kaoru occasionally wore, but the details made it even cuter.
"And this tail, it's actually a special design with a jump...! How daring."
Hatsune was terrified by her exaggerated tone and rushed forward to snatch it back, her voice trembling with tears: "Hatsuka-chan, keep your voice down! Other people will hear us!"
"What's there to be afraid of? It'll be more interesting to hear it." Chu Hua nimbly dodged her snatching attempt, then glanced around the room and quickly found something new in the bedside table drawer.
She reached out and took the item out, her eyes widening even more as she looked at it: "Wow—Miss Hatsune, this is the first time I've ever seen this! Is this the legendary decisive underwear? There's so little fabric, it's practically the same as not wearing anything at all!"
It was a set of black lingerie, the fabric so thin it was almost transparent, with delicate black tassels hanging along the edges—a truly alluring style.
"Ahhh! Hatsuka-chan, please stop talking!" Hatsune completely broke down, covering her face with her hands and squatting on the ground, her shoulders trembling slightly, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing her sister's shame and indignation, Chu Hua was overjoyed—indeed, her happiness was built on her sister's embarrassment.
Eh, twisted Hatsune Miku fan.
After laughing enough, Chu Hua stopped joking, squatted down, and softened her voice: "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. I know, Hatsune-neechan, you must be worried, right?"
Hatsune squatted on the ground and nodded sadly.
"After all, even the seemingly clueless Rakuna-chan has surpassed you, Hatsune-neechan," Chuka said deliberately, her tone slightly teasing.
"Waaah... Stop talking, please stop talking..." Hatsune covered her ears tightly with both hands, as if that would prevent her from hearing Chu Hua's words.
"And you've already reached the point of preparing for the final lingerie test. You're much more repressed than I imagined, sister," Chu Hua whispered in her ear.
Hatsune couldn't take it anymore. She suddenly burrowed into the blankets next to her, stuck her butt out, wrapped herself up tightly in the blankets, and covered her ears with her hands, looking like she was saying, "I can't hear anything."
Chu Hua looked at the bulging mass in the blanket and smiled helplessly.
After a while, she reached out and pulled her sister out of bed, saying seriously, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Since you're all ready, why don't you try them on?"
Before Hatsune could refuse, Hatsuka took the cat-ear maid outfit and the decisive underwear and helped her put them on without saying a word. Hatsune blushed the whole time, closed her eyes, and was like a puppet being manipulated, without even the strength to resist.
"Alright, open your eyes and take a look." Chu Hua clapped her hands in satisfaction.
Hatsune hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. Dressed in a pure white cat-eared maid outfit, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were shy, her fluffy cat ears drooped on her head, and her tail swayed gently behind her. Her already gentle temperament was enhanced by a touch of cuteness and allure, leaving even herself stunned.
Chu Hua whispered, "Sis, you look so beautiful right now. Your husband will definitely not be able to resist."
Hatsune's cheeks flushed even redder. Looking at Chu Hua's slightly protruding belly, and then hearing the words "brother-in-law" from her mouth, she felt particularly strange.
"I can't... I can't help what..." Hatsune's voice trembled slightly, and her heart started pounding uncontrollably.
Chu Hua leaned close to her ear and whispered in a low voice, only the two of them could hear, "I'll chisel you."
"!!!" Hatsune's ears turned bright red, her heart pounded, and her breathing became rapid.
Seeing her like this, Chu Hua couldn't help but chuckle and patted her shoulder: "Sis, you'd better take it easy. Don't faint from nervousness before you even meet your brother-in-law."
Hatsune Miku immediately wilted when this was mentioned.
This was her biggest worry. Every time she thought about doing intimate things with Banami, she would tremble with nervousness and even have difficulty breathing.
Seeing this, Chu Hua quickly dropped her joking tone and earnestly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, you can definitely do it this time! With this equipment, your brother-in-law will definitely take the initiative. You just need to cooperate obediently."
After saying that, she couldn't help but turn her face away and chuckle to herself—actually, she wasn't very confident either; she just wanted to see her sister's flustered yet expectant expression.
A moment later, Chu Hua personally saw Hatsune off at the door, waved vigorously behind her, and shouted, "Hatsune-neechan, good luck! You must succeed!"
Hatsune took a deep breath and nodded heavily. She took out a small oxygen cylinder from her pocket—she had prepared it in advance to prevent herself from getting too nervous, so she could take a breath whenever she felt anxious.
This time, she must be brave! She must be with Xi Jun!
She was the one who met Xi-kun first, but she lost to Hatsuka first, then to Wakaba Muku, then to Rakuna-chan, and if she keeps losing, will she lose to Hai-ling too? Does she have no shame?
With unwavering determination, Hatsune walked step by step toward Hanami's bedroom. Reaching the bedroom door, she stopped, took a deep breath, and inhaled into the oxygen tank. Just as she was about to knock, the bedroom door suddenly opened.
Ruo Yemu came out wearing a loose pink pajama set. One of the pajama straps had slipped down and was hanging on her arm, revealing her fair shoulder.
When she saw Hatsune Miku at the door, she wasn't surprised at all. She simply rolled up her slipped shoulder strap, stuck out her tongue, and gently licked her lips. Her eyes held a hint of languor, as if she were savoring something wonderful.
"What is it?" Ruoye Mu tilted her head slightly and asked in a calm tone.
Hatsune froze on the spot, her eyes wide open, staring at Wakaba Mutsu in front of her. The oxygen cylinder in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud," and her mind went blank.
Chapter Two: Passing the Evening Gate Three Times Without Entering
Misaki Misaki was a very easily discouraged person. After being struck by Wakaba Mutsu's calm yet strangely atmospheric question, her mind went blank for only a moment before she could no longer maintain her previous courage.
Without saying a word, she turned around abruptly and rushed back to her room at almost the speed of a 100-meter sprint. As soon as she entered the room, she threw herself onto the bedside, buried her face in Chu Hua's knees, who was sitting on the bed, and started to cry pitifully.
"Waaaaah... Chu Hua-chan..." A soft, sweet sob came intermittently, with a strong nasal tone.
When Hana heard how Hatsune Miku hadn't even dared to knock on Hanami's door before being scared back by Wakaba Mutsu, who had just come out of there, she burst into carefree laughter, laughing so hard her stomach trembled slightly.
Hatsune lifted her tear-streaked face, looked pitifully at her sister who was laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight, and pouted, saying, "You're going too far, Hatsuka-chan... I'm already so sad, and you're still laughing!"
The heavily pregnant girl quickly suppressed her smile, patted Hatsune's back, and said in a somewhat perfunctory tone, "It's alright, it's nothing, don't be discouraged. Didn't you just see Mumi come out of her room? She must have gone back to her own room."
She paused, then counted on her fingers, "Judging by the time, Brother Xi should have finished showering by now. If you try again now, you'll be there at the perfect moment!"
Hatsune paused slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes: "W-Isn't this a bit inappropriate? I just finished with Mutsu... Would it be too obvious for me to go over there now?"
"No way!" Chu Hua waved her hand, her tone unusually light. "Brother Xi's sage time is very short, I've tried it."
"..." Hatsune's eyes widened instantly, as if she had suddenly realized something, and she stared blankly at Hatsuka.
"You...you only did it once, didn't you?" After all, Chu Hua got pregnant soon, and logically speaking, she shouldn't be able to do such intimate things for the time being in order to take care of the pregnancy.
Chu Hua picked up a banana from the table and slowly peeled it, her tone still relaxed: "Hey, sis, that's not right of you. Just because you can't do that kind of thing doesn't mean you can't compromise, like..."
Before she finished speaking, she opened her thin lips, took a small bite of the banana, and deliberately glanced at Hatsune Miku.
Hatsune instantly understood what she meant, her cheeks flushed crimson, and she almost fainted. No way! They actually did something like that? She felt dizzy and almost vomited blood.
However, this feeling of shame and indignation only lasted for a moment before Hatsune cried out in grievance, "I didn't mean that... I mean, Yu-kun just finished with Mutsu, and I... I can't accept it."
"Oh—" Chu Hua drawled, revealing a knowing look, "So it's the kind of psychological fastidiousness that only young virgins have. But then again, since you're using secondhand goods anyway, does it make a difference if you use one more or one less... wait, if we count the order, shouldn't it be the second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth batch?"
"Aaaaaah! Hatsuka-chan, you're so mean!" Hatsune completely broke down, covering her ears and rolling around on the bed, wishing she could bury herself under the covers and never come out again.
After much hesitation, the desire to be intimate with Hanami ultimately prevailed. Hatsune gritted her teeth, finally got out of bed, picked up the oxygen cylinder that had fallen to the floor, clutched it in her hand, took a deep breath, and walked out of the room.
"Go for it, Hatsune! You have to succeed this time!" Chu Hua waved behind her, her teasing tone barely concealed.
She found it incredibly amusing to watch her older sister's tumultuous love life unfold.
Hatsune didn't turn around, but gripped the oxygen tank tightly and walked step by step towards Hanami's room. This time, she encouraged herself: I must be brave, I can't let myself be scared away again!
Arriving at Hanami's door again, Hatsune was about to knock when the door was opened from the inside. Nagasaki Motoyo appeared in the doorway, and upon seeing Hatsune, both of them wore expressions of extreme embarrassment.
Hatsune's nose is very sensitive, and she instantly smelled the scent of Banami lingering on Suze's body. What made her cheeks burn even more was that there was a conspicuous "strawberry" mark on Suze's fair neck.
An awkward silence fell between them. Finally, Su Shi was the first to react. She cleared her throat and said somewhat awkwardly, "Uh... I... I'm here to supervise Banami's English studies. He... he's not very good at English, so he needs someone to keep an eye on him."
"I see..." Hatsune responded mechanically, her eyes not daring to look at Su Shi's neck.
