I Really Want to Eat It~

Shinichi speculates about the danger level of the Fujiwara family.

Although they appear relaxed on the outside, his focus never relaxes, ensuring that he can run towards the door if he falls into a trap.

But how could there be traps in an ordinary household?

Please don't casually classify Chika as an ordinary person; it's disrespectful.

"Don't worry, Moeha went out with her friends. Now it's just me and Chika at home~"

Just from her voice, Shinichi feels that she has more of a "big sister power" than Tachibana Hina.

Three locks on the door are secured one by one, the door chain is hung, and the electronic security is activated. After ensuring that the door cannot be easily opened from inside or outside, Toyomi and Shinichi exchange glances.

"Otouto-kun, what's the matter?"

Shinichi's mouth twitches slightly, "...No, I think your safety precautions awareness is quite unique."

"This is what Dad asked for~ He's always overprotective, so sometimes I don't follow, it's very troublesome~"

Toyomi explains lightly, with a gentle smile still lingering on her lips; she takes guest sandals from the shoe cabinet, bows, and hands them over.

"Do you need me to help you put them on?

Shinichi squats in front of her ample chest and takes the sandals from her with lightning-fast movements.

"It's okay, you don't need to worry too much. Being an unexpected guest violates the rules. I'm embarrassed to be so polite."

In less than three seconds, he utters a series of peculiar terms mixed with ancient and modern language.

Toyomi lifts her head, her lips make a sound, "Oh~"

"As Chika said, you look very smart..."

"Thank you..." Shinichi blushes a bit; before he can utter some humble words, he hears the other praising her younger sister for scoring high in exams.

"The intentional effort to look cool is very evident, and it feels like a teenager~ Great, great~"

"..."

Shinichi remains silent, pretending not to hear her words.

"Sorry, I'm here to meet Fujiwara Chika Senpai. I have something to say, and I might leave soon."

"If possible, could you help me ask her to come down? I'll wait here without causing any trouble for you."

"Otouto-kun, you're very polite. Initially, I wanted to make black tea for you~"

Toyomi regrets a bit. She looks mature and gentle, but her charming appearance gives a remarkable contrast impression to people.

Shinichi stands firm.

Toyomi laughs and walks towards the house.

"Alright, I'll call her. Wait a moment~"

Before she finishes speaking, her foot seems to stumble on the front hall threshold, and her entire upper body stiffens.

Her round and ample breasts hit the floor directly.

Shinichi doesn't even have time to think about whether the other person is pretending or genuinely foolish; his body reacts on its own.

Recalling that time, he has experience in many battles.

When Shinichi's relationship with that group of girls wasn't so good, as soon as he faced the dilemma of close contact or reaching out, he would use his own way to find the best third solution from both sides.

Although it seems inexplicable to others, for Shinichi, his awkward nature is destined not to like following the same path as others.

Even though there has been much progress now, this kind of reaction has long been developed into a nerve reflex by him, and his muscle memory operates almost without thinking.

His palm traces a half-circle in his pocket, and the spare handkerchief gets caught between his fingers. Immediately, he pushes his shoulders forward, and his arms successfully catch Toyomi's shoulder.

The captivating woman's body about to fall returns to its original position.

Shinichi still maintains a suitable distance from her, without direct physical contact or holding in inappropriate places, thus completing the rescue.

He puts the handkerchief back into his pocket.

"I thought I had changed, but the result is still the same..."

It's not a case of gynophobia. He tries hard to help others achieve such virtues. His awkward nature is challenging to overcome.

However, if the target is changed to Chika or another girl, Shinichi will be able to save them directly.

Shinichi looks at the other's slightly embarrassed expression, but considering Toyomi's various behaviors just now, the embarrassment in his heart disappears, leaving only a nuanced mood.

"Are you okay?"

Shinichi asks with concern, his polite smile slightly forced.

"Oh..."

Toyomi stares ahead in a daze. After a while, she seems to regain awareness. She looks at the entrance, then at the place where she was supported on his shoulder, and finally at Shinichi's face.

Toyomi forms a happier smile.

She points her finger to her cheek and speaks while smiling.

"Interesting reaction... Hmm, no, Otouto-kun, you're quite interesting~"

Toyomi presses both palms to her chin and speaks softly.

"Congratulations. You passed the test~"

"Passed the test?" Shinichi's eyes widen in surprise. "Was your appearance just now to test me?"

Although he had already guessed it.

It's the 1900s, and the other still uses old, easily noticeable plots; this older sister is somewhat petty.

But because of etiquette, Shinichi still pretends to be surprised.

"Yes~ When someone who likes my little sister comes to visit us, as an older sister, shouldn't I intentionally make it difficult for him?"

Toyomi smiles proudly as she lifts her head and chest.

"That's what manga says. How about it, Otouto-kun? I did a pretty good job~"

"Well..."

Shinichi smiles awkwardly, then turns around and changes the topic.

"In that case, after passing the test, could you help me invite Fujiwara Senpai to come out? And the door is locked over there..."

Toyomi nods, walking towards the stairs.

"Okay~ Just wait for me here. Chika doesn't know why she stayed up late last night. She's still asleep after 9 in the morning."

Shinichi is stunned to hear this, and there's a complicated look in his eyes.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sound from the stairs in front. A petite and cute figure quickly appears in their sight.

"Onee-chan, who are you talking to so early in the morning..."

A pink pajama and messy pink curly hair complement each other perfectly. Chika rubs her eyes and looks at the scene on the first floor. After speaking, she shifts her gaze to Shinichi next to Toyomi.

After the girl blinks a few times, her blurry early consciousness suddenly wakes up. She opens her mouth wide in surprise and shouts a few times before speaking.

"Liar, Asada-kun the liar appeared?!"

Shinichi: "😐"

Chika stares, her face turning red, and she exclaims in disbelief.

"No, I'm not wearing underwear right now!"

The girl hugs her chest and runs back upstairs in a panic; she only manages to say one sentence.

"Asada-kun, wait for me downstairs!"

Hearing her usual innocence, Shinichi laughs.

His cheek is suddenly poked twice by cold fingers.

"Yes, this is your true smile. Much better~ If you use desserts as a metaphor, it might be as delicious as strawberry scones?"

Toyomi looks at him with curiosity.

"What should I do? I really want to eat it~"

Her moist red tongue licks her lips.

Shinichi takes two steps back, glancing at the tightly locked door, and starts regretting it in his heart.

Even though the Fujiwara parents are not here, this place is still very dangerous...
