My daily life with the Shiina sisters

While Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai were rehearsing the possible details during their study in the forest, Imagawa Kaede and the others played a few games. After playing a few rounds of the board game brought by Yotsuba, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

After sending the quintuplets away, the two of them watched TV together as usual.

The air conditioning was very comfortable. Imagawa Kaede held Mahiru in his arms and said, "Today, when Momoko and I were leaving the examination room, we met Shinomiya."

"Aren't you in the same examination room? Did she say anything?"

"At that time, Momoko and I were talking about grades, and we mentioned Shirogane. Didn't Shirogane Miyuki challenge Shinomiya Kaguya before? She probably disliked Shirogane's inexplicable challenge, so she said a few words. But Momoko deliberately choked her."

As he spoke, Imagawa Kaede imitated Longzhu Tao's tone and roughly repeated what she said at that time, and also mentioned what he said.

This made Mahiru laugh as well.

"It's funny, but it seems that Shinomiya and Momoko don't have a very good relationship. Don't you feel troubled being caught in the middle?" asked Imagawa Kaede.

"I'm actually fine. It doesn't matter if they have a good relationship as long as it doesn't affect their relationship with me. But if I have a good relationship with Kaguya, would you mind?"

"If I minded, I wouldn't have agreed to let you join the Kyudo Club." Imagawa pinched her nose and continued, "Don't think that I couldn't see your little thoughts at the time."

In response to this, Shiina Mahiru buried her head in Imagawa Kaede's arms and said, "Actually, you are just narrow-minded."

Upon hearing this, Imagawa Kaede was a little confused. Why did he become so petty again?

Seeing him like this, Shiina Mahiru continued, "Then why do you always do those intimate actions every time you come to the Kyudo Club to pick me up?"

In response to this, Imagawa Kaede said somewhat helplessly: "This is all for you."

"For me?" Mahiru asked doubtfully.

"After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, and you...if I don't show enough respect for you, what if you are bullied by some unreasonable people? Of course, on the other hand, I do want to do that. I want to do something intimate with Mahiru." Of course, the latter part of Imagawa Kaede's words is the key point, and the former part is just nonsense he said.

"Oh, I thought you were trying to make her angry on purpose." Mahiru said a little embarrassedly, but at the same time she was a little happy. It turned out that Imagawa Kaede had always considered a lot for her.

"Am I really that petty? Why do you and Taozi think that I'm the kind of person who's determined to get revenge?"

Hearing this, Mahiru just smiled and said, "I don't think so. Feng is the most broad-minded person and would never retaliate against others. She's just a little petty."

In response, Imagawa Kaede began to tickle her, "You said that last time you were petty."

"I was wrong, Feng... Feng is not petty."

"Who is it then?"

"I am. I am just careful, okay?"

After playing for a while, the two of them lay down on the sofa, panting.

"I'm so tired. It's all your fault. You kept touching me randomly." Mahiru said as she took away Imagawa Kaede's mischievous hand.

"Weren't you smiling happily just now? Now that you're done having fun, you don't recognize me?" Imagawa Kaede defended.

"You're going to die, saying something like that. Besides, it was you who tickled me, I'm not really happy about it."

"Aren't you happy being with me?"

"I'm just not happy." However, as soon as she finished speaking, Mahiru started laughing again.

"Okay, I'm angry."

"Then how should I coax him?" Mahiru knew that although the man in front of her might, probably, perhaps, be a little narrow-minded in many aspects, she was not the kind of person who was moody, and it was completely acceptable for her to joke with him.

"Mental damage compensation and other various expenses total 200 trillion yen." Imagawa Kaede said with a smile.

"You don't just know about mental damages, do you?"

"Why do you care if I only know about mental damages? Pay me the money quickly."

"How can I have so much money?"

"Then pay it with your body. In my eyes, it's the only thing more precious than 200 trillion yen." Imagawa Kaede said with a wicked smile.

Mahiru held up his face with her hands, kissed the corner of his mouth gently, and said with a smile: "Dameyo, don't let your head be filled with yellow garbage every day."

"Hey, I was just saying sweet words."

"Where is it?"

"I clearly said that in my eyes, you are more valuable than the Shinomiya family, okay?"

"Is this why you want me to pay 200 trillion yen? I don't understand what you are saying."

"Mahiru, idiot." Imagawa Kaede said pretending to be angry.

"Okay, okay, I'm an idiot, okay?" Mahiru felt that he said that on purpose, probably because of the bullying he mentioned earlier.

"Then you have to coax me and make me happy." Imagawa Kaede said.

"Okay, how do I coax her?" Mahiru asked.

"Why don't you say some sweet words to me too." said Imagawa Kaede.

"Your request... let me think about it."

After a long while, Mahiru smiled and said, "I want you to be partial to me for no reason. I want you to see me everywhere. I want your world to be all about me, whether it's day, night or in dreams. I want you to stay by my side even if everyone leaves me."

"So cunning, Mahiru."

"I'm not being cunning. You're the one who asked me to say it. Besides, I told you all this after I was able to do it."

After saying this, Mahiru buried her head in Imagawa Kaede's arms again. In response, Imagawa Kaede smiled and said:

"You say you're not cunning? You're so cunning." Imagawa Kaede said as he hugged her tightly in his arms. The light from the TV shone on the two of them. The original sofa might be a bit small for two people to lie on, but now they feel that this small place is enough.

As for the cat Aqua, she stared at the pictures on TV without blinking. She was already used to these things.

"Today Kaguya asked me if I wanted to go with them." Mahiru suddenly said, probably noticing that something was wrong with Imagawa Kaede.

"Oh, and what did you answer?"

"I said I want to be with you and Longzhu Tao."

"Yeah, that's fine. You girls can have whatever relationship you want. I can't really say I hate her, I just think it's fine to just maintain an ordinary relationship with her as classmates."

"Do you really think so?" Mahiru asked doubtfully.

"What else? Actually, I've already taken revenge."

"When?" Mahiru asked in confusion.

"Isn't losing me the greatest revenge?" Imagawa Kaede said with a smile.

"If that's the case, you need to work hard."

"I won't work hard for such a boring thing. My goal has always been to make Mahiru proud to mention me when chatting with others."

"Although I'd be happy if you said that, you still have to take care of your body."

"Well, let's exercise together to have a healthy body, shall we?"

"What kind of exercise?" Mahiru asked confusedly.

"Didn't we agree on this before? We should practice extra tonight."

"That's true." Mahiru recalled what they had talked about on the road before.

As he said that, Imagawa Kaede took out the remote control and turned off the TV in the living room, then carried Mahiru to her room, leaving Aqua alone in the living room with a confused look on her face.

Soon, the sound of the two people exercising could be heard in Mahiru's room. There was probably a primitive rhythm in the sound.

In short, the big bathtub in the house finally came in handy tonight, and the two of them, considering their health, ended up exercising one more time.

Of course, the main reason is that Mahiru asked Imagawa Kaede to pay more attention to her health. Yes, that's the reason.
