My daily life with the Shiina sisters

"Would Fenghe like to go to the upcoming fireworks festival with us?" Miku suddenly said at this time.

Ignoring May's gaze on the fried chicken leg in his hand, Imagawa Kaede took a bite of the last fried chicken leg he had just taken out of the box before speaking:

"Mahiru is going, right? Or the one at the Sumida River?"

"Hey~ It looks like Imagawa-san is already ready to go with Mahiru-chan." Yotsuba said while hugging Mahiru's arm.

Imagawa Kaede suddenly felt that Yotsuba was really helpful.

Feeling his gaze on her, Mahiru lowered her head shyly.

After hearing what Imagawa Kaede and Yotsuba said, she felt a little confused for a moment.

Why couldn't he invite me privately? I wouldn't refuse him.

More importantly, she had originally wanted to invite him to go with her, but now under the circumstances she had no choice but to go with the quintuplets.

Although Mahiru was thinking that it was just the two of them, she was afraid that if she refused at this moment, he would not invite her again.

She didn't know what was wrong with Imagawa Kaede recently. It seemed like she had bullied him and he always acted cautious in front of her.

It seemed that except for that night when he held her hand and said those words on the street, after that, including when we were watching TV together on the sofa after dinner, he would always test the waters first when he wanted to hug her.

If I think about it this way, he deliberately deceived me before holding her hand that night.

Although this somewhat "polite" way of getting along with others is probably a reflection of his respect for himself, it is different from his usual behavior.

It was as if it was because of me, in order to accommodate or please me, that he was like this.

But, it's so strange.

She felt that she was not a strong person, and in many cases, as long as he was a little tougher, she would definitely compromise.

Just like that night, although she wanted to stop him from succeeding at first, when he kissed her, her brain started to feel dizzy and she couldn't muster any strength. Otherwise, that night wouldn't have been so absurd.

Seeing her lowering her head and not saying anything, Imagawa Kaede was a little dumbfounded.

Did she not want to go? Or was it because of something else?

Could it be that she heard the conversation between me and Taozi? This shouldn't be the case, right? Is the plot so ridiculous?

Putting aside the many questions in his mind for the time being, he first carefully recalled the previous details and realized that he must have closed the door.

The soundproofing in the room can't be that bad, right?

Thinking of this, he panicked a little, so he looked at the few people and said:

"If Mahiru doesn't want to go, forget it. You can just take me with you. I just happened to think of a plot related to the summer fireworks festival."

Hearing this, Mahiru was awakened from his thoughts, with a look of surprise on his face.

"I'll go wash my hands first." Imagawa Kaede felt a little guilty at the moment and didn't dare to look at Mahiru, so he made up an excuse and quickly left the living room.

Several people in the living room continued chatting, and the quintuplets didn't know what was going on. Weren't they acting fine when they were talking about Imagawa Kaede before?

Seeing that Mahiru seemed to be forcing a smile, some of them didn't want to stay any longer. After helping to clean up the garbage, they said goodbye and left tactfully.

As for Mahiru at this moment, thinking back to Imagawa Kaede's hurried departure just now, he felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Maybe it was because I hadn't responded just now that he thought I didn't want to go, so he said the following words to save himself. Maybe it was because I rejected his disappointment? Or maybe I rejected his proposal in front of someone, which made him lose face?

But she originally wanted to agree, right?

"What should I do now?" she asked herself in her heart.

I really have to explain it properly, right? Then I just need to say that I only want to go with him. That should be enough, right?

Boys would be happy to hear such words, right?

It's a bit tricky, but this is the best way, right?

Now that you have thought of it, take action as soon as possible.

However, just as Mahiru turned the corner on the stairs...

After returning to the room, Imagawa Kaede opened the NetEase Cloud Music, randomly selected a song, and threw his phone on the bed.

Then he stood outside the room and listened carefully, putting his ear against the door.

The experimental result is that the expensive decoration is very good. It cannot be said that there is no sound at all, but at least he really can't hear the songs playing inside.

Just as he was about to open the door and go back, and to call a certain golden-haired loser, Mahiru just happened to come out from around the corner.

Although he tested it and found no problem, he still felt guilty, so he pretended not to notice it, opened the half-open door and went back into the room.

At this time, at least 10 minutes had passed since Imagawa Kaede left the living room.

As for this scene, it happened to be seen by Mahiru. In Mahiru's eyes, it seemed like Imagawa Kaede was about to go out, but as soon as he opened the door and saw her, he immediately hid back.

After being stunned for a moment, Mahiru walked to Imagawa Kaede's door and raised her hand to knock on the door.

After thinking about it, I tried pressing the door handle again, but it no longer opened directly as before.

When she raised her hand to knock on the door again, she gave up after thinking it over.

She had the key to his room, so it wouldn't be difficult for her to get in if she just wanted to.

But what happens after that?

Is he willing to listen to his own explanation?

The door in front of him was locked from the inside, just like it had been long ago.

Mahiru slowly crouched down at the door of the room.

If only I could have invited him earlier.

If only I had noticed his recent abnormal behavior earlier.

if……

She's always like this.

She would get jealous when she saw him getting close to other girls. Although she acted as if she didn't care and believed him, she knew that she was a very jealous person.

She was actually very afraid of being alone. It was fine before when she was used to it, but now when he went out on weekends, she actually wanted to go with him, but she was worried that she would disturb his work.

She also knew that her gentleness, virtue and obedience were deliberately displayed by herself. Although he said that he wanted to see the real her, she couldn't do it.

My previous gentleness and obedience were because I wanted to bridge the gap between myself and my parents and win back the love called home from them.

But now she just wanted his love.

She felt that she was ugly when she unfolded her body, which might be due to her previous habitual inferiority complex. Therefore, she put a lot of effort into her appearance.

In the past, she might have felt that her appearance would give her some advantages, but at the moment, her appearance might not be an advantage.

Therefore, she restrained her urge to act coquettishly in front of him, and even rejected some intimate actions from him in order to maintain her so-called modesty.

In fact, every night when she sat on the sofa in the living room, the sense of security she felt hiding in his arms would sometimes even make her feel sleepy.

It was a bit embarrassing to say, she didn't want to make herself feel like a slut.

She sets high standards for herself based on the example of Yamato Nadeshiko. She has also been learning how to build good interpersonal relationships and reading books on finance, law, and other fields. She hopes that she can help him in the future.

She thought a lot, and even wondered if he would feel that she was using him just like that Kaguya Shinomiya.

Of course, this was just wishful thinking, but after thinking of that woman, her inferiority complex became even stronger.

She also heard indirectly from him what the two of them talked about when Kaguya Shinomiya came to visit her that day.

She didn't know what he was thinking. After all, she had loved him so deeply in the past, how could it be so easy to just say that she didn't care? In addition, the results of the browser search...

She felt that she could not compare to Kaguya Shinomiya. That young lady's talent was really outstanding and she had made great achievements in many aspects.

Not to mention her previous defeat in archery, she also had no confidence in her appearance.

The second is the aura. She always felt that she was underestimated by Kaguya Shinomiya. The look in her eyes seemed to be saying.

"You are just a lucky person who happened to be favored. If I didn't want it, how could it be your turn?"

Finally, in terms of family background, I can't give him any help, but behind Shinomiya Kaguya there is the Shinomiya family.

……

"Buzzing..."

The alarm she set on her phone in the morning rang on time. Although she had no appetite, she still got up to prepare dinner.

PS: As for appearance, to be frank, anything above 80 or 90 points basically depends on personal preference. All we can say is that each has its own merits.

Ahem...size doesn't matter much, just go with your preference.

(Shinomiya Kaguya: Be smart... they are all a burden and a waste...)
