Start a Core Pod

Chapter 1599: One night passed (opening Oka every day and trying hard to move bricks)

"Thank you for your hard work!"

When she walked out of the JIF venue, it was already evening. Ruby raised her hands and stretched hard.

"Have you seen it? There are so many people cheering for us today!"

"Yeah, even though I had expected it, I'm still very happy to see so many people willing to support it."

MEM also nodded empathetically.

"My mother and brothers came to see me today. When I met them just now, my mother even cried. Hey, I'm really embarrassed. After all, I'm twenty-five years old..."

"My mother came too and she was very happy too."

Toyohama Kazuka also showed a smile, although it was a little forced.

"Where are you Ruby? Oh, by the way, the president is your mother. She has been watching from the background."

"Ah hahaha, that's right, but my sister is here too, I saw it."

"Huh? Does Ruby have a sister?"

Hearing Ruby's answer, Toyohama Kazuka was a little surprised.

"Um."

Ruby nodded vigorously. Standing on the stage, how could she not see the white hair flying on the top of the tall billboard? The one next to her should be Sister Akane... How should I put it? From Ruby's perspective on her sister This really didn't surprise her at all.

After all, after living together for so long, she has long been used to her sister's outrageous behavior.

"...Ruby, do you like your sister?"

"well enough……"

Faced with this question suddenly raised by Toyohama Kazuka, Ruby was a little surprised. She tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Well... rather than saying that I like her, it's better to say that I'm a little afraid of her."

"Afraid? Is she treating you badly?"

"That's not true."

Ruby smiled and waved her hand.

"My sister still takes good care of me, but sometimes...she feels a bit like a strict father. Whenever I do something out of line, she will be very strict. Reprimand me."

"But it's a shame that you're willing to obey."

MEM looked surprised when Ruby said this.

"I can understand that feeling. In fact, when my brothers are naughty, I will scold them. But they don't listen to me at all, and they always say that I am only a few years older than them, and I am not qualified to teach them... "

"Ahahahaha, I thought so at first, but..."

"but?"

"Sister is very scary."

Thinking back to when she was a child, Ruby trembled all over. She was indeed what MEM said, she would be willful and do inappropriate things. And every time at this time, Duanmuhuai would scold her. At first, Ruby was really annoyed with Duanmuhuai, but they were just born and raised together. She would not accept it if he scolded her just because she was her sister! After all, I am a reborn genius child!

Then Duanmuhuai grabbed her, pushed her to the ground and spanked her, making Ruby scream and scream.

Even if she wanted to talk back, Duanmu Huai's eyes that seemed to be murderous made her shut up obediently.

But as long as Ruby is obedient, Duanmu Huai will not deal with her, and Ruby will grow up smoothly because of this... Well, sugar and whips are both part of family education.

In fact, since Saito Kyoko is busy with Berry PRO work, Duanmuhuai is taking care of Ruby most of the time.

"Every time I did something wrong, she would scold me seriously. If I dared to talk back, she would catch me and spank me. That kind of humiliation has never happened before... But my sister doesn't scold me every time. Me, as long as I don’t do anything extraordinary, she is quite gentle to me.”

"That's it..."

Hearing Ruby's words, MEM and Toyohama Kazuka's expressions were a bit complicated. Although Ruby said that her sister often beat her, looking at Ruby's expression, she didn't seem to be disgusted at all.

"By the way, what were you beaten for?"

"The last time I remember... was when I was in elementary school and I ran to watch TV halfway through making curry. When my sister came back, I realized that the whole kitchen was full of black smoke..."

"…………"

"My sister came back and turned off the fire, then she pushed me down on the sofa and spanked me. It still hurts when I think about it now."

"...By the way, why are you watching TV halfway through cooking?"

"Because at that time, I suddenly remembered that there was an idol variety show that I wanted to watch! But as I watched it, I forgot about it...ah hahaha..."

"…………"

How should I put it? If you say it should be beaten, it really should be beaten.

"Okay, you guys should get ready, we are going back to the office."

At this time, Saito Kyoko also finished cleaning up and came over to speak. The three of them followed her and left the venue and walked towards the parking lot.

But then again... I have never seen my sister act coquettishly towards others.

Ruby, who was walking at the back, carrying her suitcase, was blowing the evening breeze and looking at the night sky in front of her, when this idea suddenly came to her mind.

Whether it's when she's in love or when she's with Kyoko, Ruby will act coquettishly towards them, and sometimes she'll be willful. But her sister has never done this. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that when she was a baby, she was a person who was alienated from others. She didn't interact much with her at that time. At that time, Ruby thought she was her sister. Is it because of developmental delay? In fact, Duanmu Huai just finds her annoying.

Later, when she grew older, her sister gave Ruby the impression that she was the kind of withdrawn child who didn't like to talk or communicate and was always alone. For example, when she was in kindergarten, she rarely interacted with other children and just sat quietly aside. Even when facing his own mother, he is not very close.

But it's not the kind of isolation that hates everything, or the kind of strength that gives Ruby the feeling that she can survive even if she is alone.

Thinking of this, Ruby always felt a little sorry for her sister. Although I have encountered a lot of things over the years, Aunt Jingzi and my sister also care about me and have close friends.

But my sister... doesn't seem to have anything similar.

It was only recently in the office that I saw that she could talk to Arima Kana and Kurokawa Akane, but are they good friends?

...It's somewhat subtle.

Why not go back and ask.

Thinking of this, Ruby also made a decision, and then got in the car back to the office.

However, Duanmuhuai did not go home that night.

"Um…………"

Duanmuhuai stood up, facing the sunshine outside the window, and stretched.

"I really didn't expect it to be like this, hey..."

While muttering to himself, Duanmuhuai turned his head and saw Kurokawa Akane sleeping soundly on the bed behind him. Judging from the messy marks on the bed, it is not difficult to imagine how fierce a battle had taken place here.

That being said, this is really a bit of a surprise.

Last night, when Duanmuhuai took the tram to send Kurokawa Akane home, the latter suddenly acted very uncomfortable, with a flushed face and shortness of breath. So Duanmuhuai hurriedly sent Kurokawa Akane home to rest. What Duanmuhuai didn't expect was that when he helped Kurokawa Akane into the bedroom, this little girl actually pushed him down!

Duanmu Huai was all confused at that time.

What's going on?

At that time, Kurokawa Akane was breathing heavily and glaring at her, which made Duanmuhuai wonder if someone had given her the I love Ichijo firewood!

But soon, when Duanmuhuai saw the strange tentacle mark on Kurokawa Chiyin's arm, Duanmuhuai immediately understood what was going on.

Indeed, people who engage in art are very easy to connect with the spirit of the old rulers. Those who are easy to be in tune with the spirit of Cthulhu are also people like painters, singers, writers, and actors. Lines are naturally also easily affected.

However...it doesn't mean that it will be affected inexplicably, there are opportunities.

Even those who have been contaminated by the spirit of Cthulhu did not get connected with Cthulhu inexplicably. They have either read the story of Cthulhu or obtained the statue of Cthulhu - the gods are, after all, It's this kind of thing that requires some kind of opportunity to connect with other people.

But... I don’t have this kind of connection with Kurokawa Akane?

Although Duanmuhuai doesn't know what's going on, he can't let Kurokawa Akane succeed, right?

After all, she is just a little girl with no abilities, Duanmuhuai can easily make her docile with one hand!

Of course, the price is that the whole sheet seems to be soaked...well, it shouldn't be dehydrated.

Probably not.

"Why………"

Duanmuhuai sighed silently. At this time, he really wanted to have a cigarette afterwards, but unfortunately, the only thing he had in his hand now was his mobile phone.

When he turned on his phone, he saw a series of missed calls, so Duanmuhuai had no choice but to call back.

"——Sister, where have you been?"

As expected, Ruby's roar came from the phone the next moment.

"Didn't I leave a message saying that Akane was not feeling well, so I was taking care of her at her home?"

Duanmuhuai said that he did not lie and everything was the truth. As for why I felt uncomfortable and how I took care of myself, there is no need to delve into the details.

“But it’s not like I don’t answer even a single call!”

"Forgot."

"Haah..."

Faced with Duanmu Huai's straightforward answer, Ruby was completely speechless.

"Anyway, it's a good thing you called back, otherwise Aunt Jingzi would have called the police if it had been any later."

"I'm sorry for making you worry. I have to check the situation again today. Rehearsal...please ask for leave."

"Okay, I get it, sister."

"Oh, by the way, Ruby. I saw the performance yesterday and it was good."

"hey-hey………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Ruby smiled proudly.

"I knew you would say that, sister."

After praising Ruby a few more times and making the cat purr, Duanmuhuai hung up the phone. At this moment, Kurokawa Chiyin's voice came from behind Duanmu Huai.

"Hmm... ugh... is it morning already...?"

While yawning, Kurokawa Akane sat up. However, when she saw Duanmu Huai standing in front of the window the next moment, her whole body froze.

"Xiao, Xiaoai?"

At this moment, everything that happened last night came back to Kurokawa Akane's mind. She remembered clearly that at that time, when she encountered that scene on the tram, it seemed that the hidden memories in her body were awakened, and all her rationality was gradually burned away in the raging flames that were ignited.

When Xiao Ai helped him home and felt her breath and petite body, Kurokawa Akane's last trace of reason was broken, and then...

"Uhhhhhh! What did I do!"

At this moment, Kurokawa Akane's face turned red and he almost wanted to dig a hole and get in!

"Anyway, I'm going to get some food first."

Duanmuhuai walked out of the room without even looking at the panicked Kurokawa Akane, while Kurokawa Akane lowered his head and was speechless at all.

In other words...she didn't know what to say at all!
