My daily life with the Shiina sisters

"Let's go in and take a look. Uh, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Imagawa Kaede opened his mouth, he noticed that Shiina Mahiru next to him looked a little strange.

Seeing that she ignored him, Imagawa shook her shoulder again and asked, "Mahiru, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay. Do you want to go in for a walk?" After Shiina Mahiru reacted, she shook her head and tried to force a smile.

"Are you feeling unwell? Don't force yourself, let's go home." Imagawa Kaede asked with some concern.

When Shiina Mahiru heard that they had to go back, she couldn't help but tremble. She felt that it was because of her that he lost interest in shopping.

"It's really okay, let's go in!" She said and walked in on her own initiative.

Imagawa Kaede had no choice but to follow, but he still kept her situation in mind. Cartier has more choices, including jewelry, perfumes, leather goods, glasses, and accessories. In short, there are also a variety of watches.

Shiina Mahiru followed Imagawa Kaede to look, and Imagawa Kaede finally chose the Blue Balloon series watches for the two of them. This time Shiina Mahiru did not refuse, but nodded obediently.

The clerk placed watches of several price ranges in front of the two of them. Imagawa Kaede asked Shiina Mahiru to choose the one she liked best, but the result made him regret it very much.

In fact, these watches are all very good-looking, but Mahiru still habitually chose a relatively cheap quartz watch. Imagawa Kaede frowned but finally paid for two watches, a few pens, two key chains and a scarf.

It’s not that quartz watches are much worse than mechanical ones. In terms of practicality and value retention, mechanical watches are better. Of course, if you insist that quartz watches are better, then you win.

After leaving the store, Imagawa Kaede walked in front with a shopping bag in his hand. Anyone who came over could see that he was in a good mood. Shiina Mahiru looked at Imagawa Kaede who was smiling happily, and her mood also inexplicably improved a lot.

She touched the watch on her wrist and suddenly asked, "Why do you have to buy me a watch?"

She originally didn't want to ask, but she couldn't resist her inner curiosity, especially after seeing him happily changing into another watch, she felt that this should not be the so-called compensation, and she couldn't wait to verify some of the guesses in her mind.

Imagawa Kaede was not embarrassed and went right up to her and whispered:

"Let's go to school together tomorrow." (I want others to know about our relationship.)

Although Shiina Mahiru had some guesses in her mind, she was still a little excited when she heard Imagawa Kaede say it. One of the reasons why she was scolded by her family recently was that there was no progress between her and Imagawa Kaede.

A single man and a single woman have been in the same room for half a year without any progress. Naturally, people in the Shiina family who know the situation will spread some bad things.

People's hearts are still quite strange. Some people in the Shiina family originally flattered Mahiru more. Even though they knew that Imagawa Kaede was a tough nut to crack, he was the heir of the Imagawa family after all. Not everyone could jump into this tough nut if they wanted to.

But as time went on, this trend changed.

On the one hand, the resources given by the Imagawa family were divided up, and on the other hand, Mahiru seemed to be disliked by Imagawa Kaede. It was normal for Imagawa Kaede to be a little fickle, but if she disliked Shiina Mahiru, the result would be different.

In particular, Imagawa Kaede has basically never participated in any public activities with Shiina Mahiru, but he has openly pursued Shinomiya Kaguya.

This changes the situation. To put it nicely, the relationship between the two families is called a marriage, and to put it bluntly, it is selling a daughter. How much resources the Shiina family can get from the Imagawa family basically depends on the role played by Shiina Mahiru.

Now that they see that their demands are hopeless, their tone has naturally changed, and they say all kinds of nasty things, especially since Shiina Mahiru's mother is still keeping a gigolo outside. It is inevitable that some people will link the mother and daughter together and talk about them together.

Naturally, people would say that Shiina Mahiru is disliked because she is not disciplined and acts like a spoiled brat.

Shiina Mahiru had naturally heard of these things, but what could you do to others if they didn't say it openly? Thinking too much would only make you feel more wronged.

As for whether that group of people would complain about Imagawa Kaede, haha, as long as Imagawa Kaede doesn't show any homosexual tendencies on the surface, they really wouldn't dare to say anything. They even don't talk about Mahiru's family affairs openly because of the Imagawa family.

It’s nothing, he just bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Therefore, when she heard what Imagawa Kaede said, she felt mixed emotions in her heart, but she still suppressed the urge to agree.

"It's okay, you don't have to force yourself, I..."

"It was my fault that I didn't get along with you before. Can you give me a chance now? I want to make it up to you."

Hearing this, Shiina Mahiru lowered her head silently.

"Is it really a compensation for that incident? Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't need it. I won't leave you. We already had an engagement. I can't blame you for doing that. It's okay. Don't force yourself..."

As she spoke, tears filled her eyes. Who could understand her grievances? Even though she was treated like that, she still had to forgive and tolerate other people's mistakes. Why?

Imagawa Kaede had noticed something was wrong with her before, and he would notice it now. But this was also within his expectations. He knew a lot about the troubles in Shiina Mahiru's family. She really needed to vent her emotions now. Her upbringing made her habitually think the worst of everything.

He put the things on the ground and hugged her. He imitated her before, gently stroking her back, and then slowly said in her ear:

"The compensation I'm talking about is because of the harm you've suffered in the past six months...because of me. I'm sorry, I asked someone to find out about your family affairs, and I know a little about them."

Upon hearing this, Shiina Mahiru began to struggle hard. It seemed like some kind of stress response. What she didn't want others to know, and the source of her negative personality traits, was her family affairs.

She struggled to break free several times in vain, and finally could only cry in his arms, crying very loudly, as if no one was around. The angel's mask still cracked a little due to Imagawa Kaede's intentional action.

Shiina Mahiru was venting her emotions in this crowded place, and Imagawa Kaede was like a veil that blocked the inquiring gazes of outsiders, allowing her to do so without any scruples.

When the crying gradually subsided, Imagawa Kaede continued to speak:

"Forgive my mean heart. Before I knew about your family, I felt that I was not worthy of the angel. But after knowing those things, I feel that you, an angel who has fallen into the mortal world and lost your magic power, are not so unattainable."

"Don't... don't call me an angel, and... I still don't forgive you." Shiina Mahiru said in a low voice. Now that he had vented his anger, he felt a little embarrassed. This was also the reason why he was still curled up in Imagawa Kaede's arms.

Feeling the force of the elastic deformation, Imagawa Kaede couldn't help but sigh that his mother had a very accurate eye for people. If it were that Shinomiya Kaguya, she would probably be very scared.
