Zongman: Nohara Shinnosuke is about to be chopped off

After dinner, Kato Megumi followed her mother into the kitchen. The sound of clinking dishes and running water came from the kitchen.

Shin-chan sat on the tatami in the living room, took out the small calendar he carried with him, and began to look through it.

Shin-chan rarely showed a serious expression, and moved his fingers back and forth on some dates.

"Eh?" Xiaokui jumped to her brother's side and looked at the calendar curiously, "Brother is actually looking at the calendar?" She sat down cross-legged and spread her pink winter coat on the tatami.

Xiao Xin didn't even raise his head and continued to study the date: "Ah, because I need to plan these few days well..."

"That's rare." Xiao Kui tilted her head and looked at Xiao Xin's profile, "Brother, don't you always live with the mentality of 'I'll deal with tomorrow's things tomorrow'?"

"I need to arrange my schedule for the next few days," Xiao Xin circled the calendar carefully, "I have to go sign a contract with Xiao Shiyu on Christmas morning, watch the sunset and fireworks display with Ah Hui in the afternoon, and go see Xiao Ai on Valentine's Day at the end of the month..." He counted on his fingers, "Ah, I'm so busy!"

"Wait... Valentine's Day?" Xiao Kui's expression became a little strange. She put down the lollipop in her hand and said, "Brother, why do you think Valentine's Day is at the end of the month?"

"Isn't this a very simple truth?" Xiaoxin held his head high and looked very confident. "The end of December is the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year! If couples spend the New Year's Eve together at this time, the new year will definitely be harmonious!"

Xiaokui opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

If she didn't know the truth, she might have been convinced by Shin-chan's twisted logic.

"Besides," Shin-chan continued, circling the calendar with his fingers, "Isn't it romantic to see the person you like on the first day of the new year? That's how soap operas on TV play out!"

"Eh? How is this possible?" Xiao Xin's body was still shaking, but his eyes were wide open.

"Because Christmas was originally a Western religious festival," Xiao Kui finally let go of her hand and began to explain with her hands on her hips, "But after it was introduced to Japan, of course it had to be localized!" She looked at her brother's blank expression and continued, "In Japan, Christmas is called the 'Love Decisive Battle Day'. It's the day for young people to pursue romance!"

Xiao Xin's expression gradually froze, his eyes fixed dully on the calendar, his finger still on the date he had circled several times.

"Brother, I've told you to play with your phone more and learn new knowledge. Now you regret it, right?" Xiao Kui couldn't help but sigh as she looked at her brother's petrified look.

"That is to say..." Shin-chan's eyes were a little confused, and the calendar in his hand almost fell to the ground, "I want to go on three dates on Christmas day?"

Xiao Kui looked at her brother's stiff expression and sighed, "This is what it looks like now." She took out a lollipop and put it in her mouth with a "pop" sound.

"What should I do…If we get discovered, it will definitely be a disaster, right?" Shin-chan paced around the living room in distress.

"What's there to worry about?" Xiao Kui said indifferently as she stuffed the lollipop into her mouth, "Brother, why don't you just cancel one date? You should be able to handle two dates."

"But..." Xiao Xin stopped and looked down at the circles drawn all over the calendar. "I made an appointment with Xiao Shiyu to sign a contract, and told Ah Hui that we wanted to watch the sunset and fireworks, and Xiao Ai also..."

Xiao Kui couldn't help rolling her eyes as she saw her brother struggling. She took out her lollipop and pointed it at Xiao Xin's nose: "Brother, you are just too greedy. Who told you to promise so many people..."

Shin-chan turned his head and looked through the crack of the kitchen door at Kato Megumi, who was concentrating on washing dishes. The warm yellow light shone on her face, and she was cleaning the kitchen like a good wife and mother, with a few water droplets on her apron.

Ah Hui must be looking forward to Christmas...and she just forgave herself this morning.

Amid the sound of rushing water, Shin-chan's thoughts drifted to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

She stood in the classroom that day, with her arms folded across her chest, and said with a bit of dissatisfaction: "On Christmas Day, Xiaoxin, if you dare to make me wait too long..."

Thinking of how she warned him not to be late, Xiaoxin couldn't help but rub his face.

Xiaoxin looked down at the calendar in his hand and recalled the scene in the rose garden.

The breeze blew the petals, and Xiao Ai stood among the flowers and smiled at him: "Master Xiao Xin, can we spend Valentine's Day together?"

Obviously she was the first one to agree to Xiao Ai's proposal, and she is also Xiao Ai's girlfriend...

"What should I do..." Xiao Xin was pacing around in the living room, feeling tangled. "Everyone has reasons that can't be rejected..."

"Brother, do you want to listen to my suggestion?" Xiao Kui bit a lollipop with a cunning light in her eyes.

"Eh? Xiaokui, do you have any other ideas?" Xiaoxin stopped and looked at his sister expectantly.

Xiao Kui smiled mysteriously and took out a black marker from her pocket: "Yes! Brother, on Christmas Day, you must remember to write your name all over your body!"

"Huh?" Shin-chan took the marker, bewildered, "Why do you want to write your name on your body? What's the point of this?"

Xiao Kui showed a meaningful smirk on her face. She took the lollipop out of her mouth and pointed it at her brother: "Is that so..." She lowered her voice and said, "When they find you, brother, and you are cut into pieces, it will save the police some trouble!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Xiaokui, your handsome and angry brother is in danger. Now is not the time for you to make sarcastic remarks." Xiaoxin looked at Xiaokui who was teasing him helplessly.

"Brother, think about it," Xiao Kui ignored Xiao Xin's dissatisfaction and continued to exaggerate, "Sister Hui is so gentle, she will definitely use the sharpest knife... to make you suffer less."
