Are you, as meal replacement users, ready for the consequences?

Ningzi, you can sleep alone now. You're so much healthier since you stopped taking medication.

"Let's shower together today."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"To save water... I'll help you take off your clothes now."

"Huh? Xiao Xiang, I can do it myself! No, please, sister, spare me... I haven't finished eating yet, why are you in such a hurry to take off your clothes!"

"Then eat quickly."

"It's my treat, so Xiao Xiang, hurry up and eat!"

"Okay, Xiao Ning wants to eat too."

"Okay~ Hehe."

A pair of chopsticks and a spoon shuttle back and forth between two little mouths.

A pair of cutlery used by two people is a symbol of intimacy.

Aside from Xiangzi tearfully heating up the Tom Yum soup, the Toyokawa sisters spent most of the time together after 10 o'clock.

Xiangzi's unusual initiative made Ningzi realize that something was very wrong.

"I'm full. I'll go tidy up first. Sister, go and run the bath. I'll be in in a bit."

Ningzi pushed away the clingy little blue-haired boy in front of her, ran into the room, and took out Xiangzi's clothes.

She wiped Xiangzi's mouth clean with a tissue, stuffed the clothes into Xiangzi's arms, and pushed him directly into the bathroom.

"Quickly adjust the water temperature! I'll be in shortly."

"Oh… okay."

Xiangzi walked away, turning back every few steps.

A muffled sound came from the bathroom. Ningzi sat back down at the dining table, looking at the mess that had been completely wiped clean.

"Hehe, my sister seems a little absent-minded and odd, but she still looks very happy."

At least when eating, the pure satisfaction I feel is definitely not faked.

However, while feeling a sense of satisfaction, Xiangzi would also reveal his guilt and unease, just like when his personality shifted.

Ningzi failed to grasp this contradictory emotion.

"I didn't hesitate to reveal that I would sneak out to play after school, just to tell my sister that I could contribute to the family. This ending is definitely worth it."

The older sister is happy for her younger sister's abilities and for her sister's ability to take care of her, and she herself, as the younger sister, also gets a great sense of accomplishment.

Seriously, we're so complacent from winning so much.

Thank you, Yawata Kairin. You were really super cool to send me my salary this afternoon.

Ningzi tidied up the plates and chopsticks and put them in the kitchen sink. She added dish soap and turned on the tap to soak them.

"Hehehe, today was really super happy, I guess~"

buzz-

"snort??"

Ningzi was about to wash the dishes when Xiangzi's phone, which was on the table, rang.

"Who is it that's sending messages to Xiangzi so late at night?"

Could it be a love rival... ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, a wicked woman trying to steal Xiangzi away?

Ningzi used her clothes as a rag to wipe the water off her hands, then tiptoed back to the living room.

Xiangzi's cell phone lay peacefully on the dining table, like an electronic coffin.

She picked it up, turned it on, and found that the phone's password was her own and Xiaoxiang's birthdays. Ningzi successfully entered the little world locked up by Fengchuan Xiangzi.

The sound of water in the bathroom continued unabated, accompanied by a faint, almost muffled voice, as if talking to herself. Ningzi knew that she didn't have much time left to peek.

"What message came from... Oh, it's from Line."

[Wakaba (若叶睦): Sho, do you have time tomorrow?]

"Hmm? Xiao Mu? Why are you messaging my lovely Xiangzi sister so late?"

After disappearing for a day, Wakaba Mutsu reappeared in Toyokawa Ningko's sight on Shoko's phone.

Xiangzi was acting very strangely, as if he had suffered a great blow.

Although Xiangzi hid it well, Ningzi still sensed something was wrong.

For several hours from afternoon to evening, could it be that Xiao Xiang didn't go to work, but instead went through something with He Mu?

"Xiao Ning! The water temperature is right, come on over."

Ningzi heard her younger sister calling from the bathroom and hurriedly put her phone in her pocket.

"Okay, Xiao Xiang, I'm washing the dishes, almost done, just wait a moment."

No more of Xiangzi's voice came from the direction of the bathroom, which meant that Xiangzi had tacitly approved of his procrastination.

"Damn it, this awful feeling again."

Ningzi hid back in the kitchen and turned on the tap to rinse the dishes.

That's what happened to Xiangzi and Deng last time.

Knowing nothing about themselves, they could only guess at their relationship and anxiously piece together the known clues on their own.

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

Why does everyone seem to be hiding something from me?

Ningzi took a deep breath. The smell of dish soap and food mixed together surrounded her, making her very uncomfortable.

"I'm being overly sensitive again, but there's nothing I can do about it; I'm just being driven by my nature."

I really am a naturally terrible person.

Without further hesitation, Toyokawa Ningko picked up Shoko's phone.

[Saki (fake): What's wrong, Mutsumi?]

This must be the tone of voice my older sister used when she spoke to Mu.

Even if the disguise isn't perfect, just a few words shouldn't give you away.

[Read]

I laughed at Wakaba Mutsumi's classic screen peeking.

[Wakaba: Xiao Xiang, Su Shi wants to see you about something...]

Mu was very straightforward and didn't beat around the bush.

"No? Who?"

The veins on Ningzi's forehead bulged, and she felt Lixi climbing up her spine.

Is this woman looking for Xiangzi? That shameless bastard named Nagasaki Motoyo is really persistent.

The thought of Nagasaki Motoyo's embarrassing kneeling made Ningzi feel breathless.

The person Mu is talking about now isn't the piano Su Shi from his imagination, but that mentally unstable, lunatic, Zhen Su Shi.

I'm terrified, it's so scary.

Ningzi was at a loss as to what to do with the chat log.

Now that I know everything, I can't simply put the phone back and pretend nothing happened.

Now we can only continue with this mistake.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, creating afterimages.

Saki: What's up? When can we talk in person?

Ch94. With bare hands, move downwards.

Saki: What's up? When can we talk in person?

Click to send.

Ningzi awaited Ruoye Mutsu's reply.

"Xiao Ning! Why aren't you ready yet? Hurry up and come in! I'm going to get oxygen deprivation from showering!"

Xiangzi was very anxious, extremely anxious that Ningzi had not yet undressed completely before entering the bathroom.

This gave Ningzi the illusion that the other party was eager to examine her body.

Ah! I get it.

Ningzi's lips curved into a smile.

This is Xiangzi wanting to reward her; he might even give her a full-body massage or some other intimate activity.

When the time comes, I'll have to make sure I'm the older sister and Xiangzi, that nobody, is the younger sister, so that some people can learn what it means to respect elders.

Moreover, Xiangzi's condition is strange, and he definitely needs me to coax and comfort him.

He left Xiangzi alone in the bathroom; how careless of him! Who knows, someone else might be weeping alone under the shower.

buzz-

The untimely vibration of her phone once again rang in Toyokawa Ningko's ears, drowning out any remaining joy in her heart with barely concealed dissatisfaction.

[Wakaba: Su Shi wants to talk to Xiao Xiang in person about some things.]

Ningzi put her phone aside and deliberately left it for a few minutes.

Saki: Although I really don't want to accept this, I feel that things need to be resolved, so let's agree to meet at Ring.

Ring is a place full of stories; it's not only where I met Hailing, but also the bridal chamber where I and Lixi committed suicide together.

Toyokawa Ningko wanted to see what Nagasaki Motoyo wanted from Wakaba Mutsuko to find her older sister.

[Saki: Mutsumi, do you know why Suze contacted me this time?]

After a brief silence, Wakaba Mutsu still sent a message.

[Wakaba: Su Shi said she wanted to clear up the misunderstanding.]

Mu is very honest, Mu speaks his mind, and Mu has always been a good boy.

But Nagasaki Motoyo is anything but honest.

"So, my sister was acting strangely just now because she ran into that divorced old high school girl this afternoon?"

With her hands submerged in the sink, Ningzi washed the dishes absentmindedly.

In just one afternoon, all sorts of things happened. Su Shi is a scourge, making herself unhappy and making her younger sister Xiangzi unhappy as well.

Who exactly invented Nagasaki Motoyo?

I really want to know, what exactly did my sister, Su Shi, and maybe Mu were there this afternoon? Yes, Mu must have been there too!

A bunch of nobodies, they keep me worried and scared all day long, but they don't let me know anything about them.

"Xiao Ning! Isn't it ready yet?!"

"Almost there, almost there, just one last bowl!"

Ningzi looked at at least four or five bowls in the sink and told a little lie quite naturally.

Why is my sister urging me on like this? Is she so insecure? Is she afraid I'll run away and abandon her? Xiangzi, why are you being so cute and clingy today?

So it really was Nagasaki Motoyo who did something really awful to my sister this afternoon, right?!

Was it 80? Beating? Insults? Intimidation... or extortion?

Could it be that she took out all the grievances she suffered at her hands that day on Xiangzi...?

If that's the case, wouldn't I also be an accomplice to long-term vegetarianism?

If that's really the case, then teach Su Shi a lesson, and then give yourself a good beating.

The bowls and chopsticks were neatly arranged, the table was wiped clean, and the room returned to tranquility.

Ningzi stood by the dining table and sent Mu a final message.
