Daily Comics: Mystery Begins from Everyday Life

"It seems like it's getting late..." Sakurajima Mai felt emotional as she walked on the brightly lit street.

"It's about six o'clock. I wonder if Kitagawa is still here." Luotian murmured as he looked up at the sky with the setting sun.

"Kitagawa?" Sakurajima Mai looked at Luotian.

"Well, a friend of mine came to play with Cang Xingshi and the others, so I asked her to help me with the business before I left." Luotian said.

"Souga..." Sakurajima Mai nodded, and then said, "It's a girl, right?"

"Um...Ms. Mai, is this an affirmative sentence?" Luotian asked.

"Yeah." Sakurajima Mai nodded, then said disdainfully: "You actually let a girl help you run the store while you go out on a date. That's really bad!"

"I will pay her a salary." Luo Tian explained: "Student Mai, you know that my business is pretty good."

“That’s beyond description, right?” Sakurajima Mai still clearly remembered the first time she went there, Luotian took out the money from the envelope with a calm face, put it together, and then said, “It’s less than 800,000 yen.”

"Cough cough..."

Luo Tian was embarrassed, and then said: "Mai-san, I can only open full-day on two days a week, the weekend. Since Kitagawa-san is here, I certainly can't miss the opportunity to open business and make money."

"And I have already planned to pay Kitagawa-san a salary."

"That's fine." Sakurajima Mai agreed without saying anything more.

At the same time, at the door of the [Rose] Doll Shop, there was a girl standing there talking on the phone.

"Moshimoshi, Mom, I'll be home late."

"Eh? Yes! Because I want to ask her for some advice on making snacks. I'll have dinner at my classmate's house."

"Yukinoshita? No, it's another classmate~"

"Yeah, yeah, I get it, mom, bye~"

After hanging up the phone, the girl looked at the end of the road, as if waiting for someone.

"Yui, are you done with your call?"

The person who spoke was a girl wearing a patterned spotted dress and with hairbands tied on both sides of her waist-length red hair.

"Eh? Yeah! It's already healed."

"Then come in quickly, the dough has risen."

"Ah, sorry, Nino, I kept you waiting."

After that, the two girls walked into the store.

A few minutes later, Luotian and Sakurajima Mai appeared not far away, carrying a lot of food.

Slowly walking closer and closer, when he was twenty meters away from the [Rose] Doll Shop, Luotian suddenly stopped and looked ahead with some surprise in his eyes.

"Luotian?" Sakurajima Mai called out in confusion, and then looked in the direction of Luotian's sight, but did not find anything worth stopping for, "What are you looking at?"

""Luo Tian replied somewhat subtly: "Look at the car."

This answer stunned Mai Sakurajima for a moment, and then she realized that it was the luxury car parked in front of the store.

"What happened to that car?" Mai Sakurajima was completely dumbfounded.

"If I remember correctly... Luo Tian smiled awkwardly and looked at Mai Sakurajima and said, "That car belongs to Reina."

"Another girl I know..." Sakurajima Mai looked at Luotian with disdain, "How many girls have you brought home?"

"Four." Luo Tian counted and said, "You, Kitagawa, my classmate Yuigahama Yui, and Rena."

"Really? I thought you were the type who picked one a day." Sakurajima Mai sighed inexplicably, then walked away, urging him, "Hurry up."

"Oh…"

Luotian hurriedly followed, and at the same time he had some doubts in his heart. If it was Lingna who came, then she would definitely call him.

For this reason, Luotian quickly took out his mobile phone to check.

Everything was calm, not even a text message.

"Am I overthinking it? It's just the same model as Rena's car..." Luotian thought so, and stepped into the store with Sakurajima Mai in confusion.

"Ding-ling, ding-ling, ding-ling---"

The moment the door was opened, the copper bell above the door gave a signal.

then……

"Hey ha ha ha ~ Father, Father! Welcome back!"

That’s right, the first one to greet Luo Tian was the most lively and lovely Hinamei.

"Sorry, I came back late. Are you hungry?" Luotian asked, touching Hinami's face.

"Hehe, I'm not hungry." Hinami happily hugged Luotian's big hand and rubbed it, then ran to Sakurajima Mai and shouted happily: "Mai Mai, you're here! Let's go play!"

"Haha, okay~" Mai Sakurajima was amused by Hinami's liveliness, squatted down and said: "I also bought Hinami's favorite dessert~"

"Ah! Luotian, you're back!" Kitagawa Kaimeng walked out from the living room.

"Thank you for helping me run the business, let's have dinner together!" Luo Tian raised the bags of food in his hand and said confidently, "I'll cook later and treat Kitagawa to a good meal!"

"Okay, but inside..." Kitagawa Umi was about to say something.

"Then it's settled. Mai-san and Kitagawa-san go to the living room and chat with Shinku and the others. I'll go cook."

Luotian didn't listen to what Kitagawa Umien said, and went to the back carrying several large bags of food.

"Eh~? Luotian..." Kitagawa Kaimeng wanted to call out to Luotian.

"What's wrong, Kitagawa-san?" Mai Sakurajima asked with some concern.

"Um...well, I was thinking that Yui-chan and Luotian's family are here~" Kitagawa Umi said subconsciously.

"Yui... is that the classmate Luotian just mentioned, and the family?"

Sakurajima Mai fell into silence and began to think about whether she should leave and not disturb Luotian's reunion with his family.

But the next second, Hinami, who was in her arms, interrupted Sakurajima Mai's thoughts.

"Mai Mai, let's go in quickly, everyone is waiting for you!"

"this…"

"Ah?!"

Kitagawa Umi then noticed that there was also a cute and pretty girl, and he instantly became interested.

"You are the big star! I heard that Tingyin and Luotian both mentioned you!"

"Um...can you see me?"

Mai Sakurajima was somewhat happy. Today there were as many surprises as there were shocks.

"Of course I can see it, why are you saying something so strange?" Kitagawa Umi was a little confused, but without thinking too much, she stretched out her hand to Sakurajima Mai and introduced herself: "Hello, Mai-senpai, I am Kitagawa Umi who just transferred to the academy. Please give me your guidance in the future!"

"Um... hello!" It had been a long time since Mai Sakurajima had such a formal chat with someone. She held the hand of the beautiful and lively girl in front of her with great care and said with a smile: "I am Mai Sakurajima, a third-year student at Tokyo Comprehensive High School."

"Senior Mai, let's go over too. It's very lively today!" Kitagawa Umi, who lives alone because her father is often away on business, likes this kind of lively scene very much.

"Um...Kitagawa-san, I..." Sakurajima Mai wanted to say something, but Kitagawa Umi directly pulled her away without giving her any chance at all.

Then, the two of them walked through the door and entered the living room.

Then, he saw Luotian surrounded by five girls who looked exactly the same.

Chapter 68: The Cunning Emerald Star Stone

On the sofa in the living room, Mai Sakurajima was distributing different gifts to Shinku and others.

"Hinamei likes sweet food, so I bought her fruit daifuku~" Sakurajima Mai placed the daifuku in front of Hinamei.

"Wow! It's round, white and sweet. Thank you, Mai!" Hinami hugged Daifuku and started eating happily.

"You're welcome." Sakurajima Mai smiled and took out two small paper boxes from the bag.

"Green Star Stone, Blue Star Stone, this is a gift for you." Sakurajima Mai handed the small paper box to them.

"Thank you, Mai. What is it?" Cui Xingshi asked curiously.

"Thank you, Mai," Cang Xingshi thanked him solemnly.

"Open it and take a look." Sakurajima Mai smiled and said, "Luotian said you will definitely know what the gift is."

"That's what my father said!" Cuixingshi immediately became interested. He quickly took it apart and then was stunned.

"This is..." Cang Xingshi also opened the box and was stunned for a moment when he saw something that looked like fruit in the box.

"It's a small fruit!" Hinamichi came over to take a look.

However, Twilight Starstone and Blue Starstone ignored Hinamichi, instead they grabbed the fruit-like thing, jumped off the sofa, and quickly ran upstairs.

"Huh? Why did you run away?" Hinami looked at Sakurajima Mai in confusion.

"That's not a small fruit~" Sakurajima Mai touched Hinami's face, and then put the last gift box on the table.

"Shinku, this is a gift for you." Sakurajima Mai pushed in front of Shinku who was reading a book.

"Thank you, Mai." Zhenhong thanked calmly.

"Wow! Shinku's gift is so big!" Hinamichi ran to Shinku's side enviously, pushed her and said, "Hey, Shinku, open it and take a look~"

"Hinamei, be quiet and don't forget that you are the noble Rozen Maiden!" Shinku reminded.

"Hmm..." Hinamichi pouted her lips in dissatisfaction.

"Since it's a gift from Mai, I'll take a look." Shinku jumped onto the table and tore open the gift box at an extremely fast speed, then "Wow! It's a teacup! So beautiful!" Hinamichi exclaimed.

"Just barely okay." Zhenhong's face showed satisfaction. She picked up the small teacup with burgundy pattern, looked at it, and then carefully put it back into the box.

I was originally worried that the teacup was too big and it would look unsightly when I drank tea, but I didn't expect to get a suitable one so quickly. I couldn't be unhappy about it.

Soon after, Cui Xingshi and Cang Xingshi came back with two small earthen pots, each with a sprouting seedling in it.

"Mai, look!" Cui Xingshi and Cang Xingshi were both very happy. As gardeners, they loved plants very much and could even talk to them.

"It's already sprouted!" Sakurajima Mai was even more surprised, but when she thought about Luotian mentioning the title of gardener of the Cui Cang twins, she didn't find it strange anymore.

"Well, they said it happily." said the Emerald Star Stone.

"Very happy?" Sakurajima Mai was stunned.

"The Green Star Stone can communicate with plants." Blue Star Stone explained.

"It's incredible..." Mai Sakurajima exclaimed.

"Ah! Green Star Stone, that's mine!" Hinamichi shouted anxiously.

"Mmm! Hehehe! It tastes good! Cui Xingshi, who had already eaten Daifuku, wiped the corners of his mouth, looking extremely elegant.

"Well... Cang Xingshi is a big bad guy!" Hinami said angrily.

"Hehe! Hehe! That's right! I'm the bad guy!" Cui Xingshi approached Hinami with a heavy face and a gloomy face, "I'm so hungry, so hungry that I can even eat Hinami!"

"Huh? Tsui... Tsui Star Stone..." The innocent Hinamei was fooled in an instant. She hid behind Sakurajima Mai in fear, waving her hands and shouting, "Don't come over here, don't come over here! Hinamei doesn't taste good!"

"What should I do? I'm so hungry, so hungry!" A red light flashed in Cuixingshi's eyes, and he approached Hinami step by step.

"Ah~! Don't eat Hinaberry! Don't eat Hinaberry!" Hinaberry shouted while throwing the fruit daifuku at the Green Star Stone.

Cui Xingshi ate them one by one without hesitation, then sat back on the sofa with satisfaction.

However, this action, which anyone could see was a prank, was believed by Hinamichi to be serious.

When Hinamichi cautiously poked her head out to check, she found that Tsui Seishi was sitting elegantly next to Ao Seishi, looking as if nothing had happened, and there was only one of her Daifuku left.

However, this is not over yet.

"Oh! My Daifuku... you bad guy, Tsui Xingshi!" Hinami, who doesn't know how to curse at all, could only squeeze out these words.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Hinamichi? Tsui Xingshi looked confused, acting like a lady to the fullest.

"Oh! My Daifuku, the Daifuku that Mai gave me...how could you eat it all!" Hinami's tears were already welling up in her eyes, as if she was going to cry in the next second.

"Mai, Tsui Xingshi...Tsui Xingshi she took my big..." Hinami said in a crying voice.

...Request flowers...

"Hey, hey, it's okay~ Hinamichi." Sakurajima Mai comforted.

But the next second, "Eh?! It was clearly Hinami who ate it herself, why are you blaming me?" As she spoke, Cui Xingshi burst into tears silently and looked at Hinami in disbelief.
