“Ugh, ah—lost again!” Lynae looked at the big “KO” on the LCD screen, feeling incredibly frustrated.
She had clearly underestimated Aemeath’s gaming prowess.
After all, she was the one who had dominated the leaderboards in the deep-dive game rooms at Star Torch Academy.
These real-world games were still too trivial for Aemeath.
“That’s the twentieth round.
You haven’t won a single one since we started, you know?” Aemeath shook the controller triumphantly.
“Still not planning on surrendering?” “I don’t believe it.
Again!” Lynae wasn’t the type to admit defeat easily; she was stubborn.
She refused to believe that a gaming pro like Aemeath couldn’t make a single mistake!
After re-selecting their characters, the two beautiful girls began another round of slaughter on the screen.
Aemeath had just taken a shower, and her hair wasn’t completely dry yet.
She didn’t seem to intend to use a hairdryer, probably planning to wait for it to air dry while playing games.
She was wearing pajamas printed with meme-style Miku, the top button left undone, revealing her exquisite, beautiful collarbones.
Her warm, jade-like legs were propped up against her chest, a sight that immediately whetted one’s appetite.
Lynae had also just showered, but she had specifically blow-dried her hair and tied it into a refreshing bun.
Her pajamas were a simple, pale yellow style, and her pair of long legs, which were on par with Aemeath’s, were curled up—another rare, top-tier visual treat.
Compared to Aemeath and the others, who were having a blast fighting in front of the big LCD screen, the two best friends, Orange-y and Peach, were enjoying a peaceful time.
“Oh my god, Nia, look, this bird called a Raven is so smart!” Sigrika exclaimed as she watched the clever raven in the video, immediately sharing it with Denia, who was playing games beside her.
“Hmm?” Denia pulled herself out of her gaming state, glanced at the video Sigrika wanted to share, and then returned to the game, replying nonchalantly, “Ravens are among the smartest types of birds in this world.
They can understand simple physical laws while also possessing social intelligence.
You could say not many birds have both abilities like them.” You ask how Denia knew?
Nonsense!
Just look it up online, and you’ll know everything.
“So amazing…!
Nia, you know so much!” Sigrika didn’t hold back her praise, secretly happy that she had learned another piece of knowledge about birds.
Denia didn’t reply, continuing to play the game, but the smile blooming at the corner of her lips showed that she was quite pleased with Siggy’s praise.
The best friends’ pajamas were quite similar, both being short-sleeved and long-pant combinations.
The difference was that Sigrika’s pajamas were printed with various bird patterns, while Denia’s were printed with Winnie the Pooh.
Their two pairs of small, porcelain-like feet swayed under the sofa, looking exceptionally attractive.
…
So, what were Kather and Chisaki doing?
Shifting the perspective to the kitchen, after Kather scrubbed the last plate until it reflected light, he could finally move his body, which had become stiff from repeating the same motion.
“Chisaki, thank you for your hard work.
Sorry to trouble you with helping me clean up the dishes.” Kather said to Chisaki, who was also exhausted.
“It’s no trouble.
I feel very happy to be able to help you, Senpai.” A faint, habitual smile still hung on Chisaki’s lips, but the sweat on her back had caused her uniform to stick firmly to her, faintly revealing the outline of her undergarments.
Even her usually unruly bangs were locked firmly to her forehead by fine beads of sweat.
This girl was the classic type who said it wasn’t hard work but clearly looked exhausted everywhere.
It seemed he really needed to install a dishwasher later.
Although Kather felt that Chisaki would probably still find things to do herself anyway.
“Chisaki really is the type suitable to be a wife~” Of course, Kather didn’t say this exclamation out loud.
Otherwise, this quiet and introverted beautiful girl would have turned bright red while righteously saying that Senpai was saying weird things again.
“You go take a shower first.
I can handle the rest of the housework alone.” Kather smiled and urged Chisaki to go shower.
“Okay, Senpai.” Chisaki knew he was concerned about her and didn’t intend to refute his kindness.
After carefully wiping away the water stains around the sink, she obediently went upstairs to wash up.
After finishing the final cleanup work, Kather also intended to go upstairs to take a shower.
However, a pleasant phone ringtone interrupted his plan to shower first.
As soon as the ringtone sounded, four pairs of big eyes looked over at Kather, then turned their attention back to what they were doing.
Kather trotted over to pick up his phone from the dining table.
He opened it and saw—good heavens, Her Majesty the Queen had arrived with thunderous force for a surprise inspection.
“Come on, man, you can’t play like this…!” Kather felt a sudden bitterness in his heart.
He!
Right now!
Hadn’t figured out how to explain to his mom that he had brought home four girls as beautiful as Denia!
As a result, his Mother Dear had taken the initiative and called him via video call directly.
This call was crucial.
If handled well, everyone would be happy; if handled poorly, he would have to go to Jesus and have a rematch with the ‘Prisoner’ (Lao-da).
“Hello?
Mom?
What’s up?” Kather asked, feigning calmness after answering the call.
“I didn’t say I was looking for you.” Mother Yue directly ignored her own son’s greeting.
“I want to see my girls.” Kather had an ominous premonition, but he still intended to tell a lie to get through it first.
“You’d better not try to be slick in front of me.
Confess honestly.” Mother Yue narrowed her eyes, looking at Kather with ill intent.
“I heard you went to Grandma Lin’s and picked up a few more pretty girls?
Why, is one Denia not enough for you, and you want to play that feudalism game?” “No way…
aren’t those just Nia’s friends~” Kather replied half-truthfully.
“Nia was worried about them, so she asked me to pick them up and live together.” “Give the phone to Denia and the others.
I’ll ask them myself.” Mother Yue: Whether my son’s words are credible, you don’t need to tell me; I’ll ask myself.
Great, it seemed there was no need for him to continue arguing.
He just hoped Denia could help him reduce the suspicion a little later.
“Nia, our mom is calling.” Kather walked to the side of the sofa and handed his phone to Denia, who was still gaming.
“Looking for me?” Denia put down the phone she was playing with, tidied up her image a little before taking the phone.
“Denia, how are you living there?” “Everything is good.
I’m eating well and sleeping very comfortably.” Denia’s obedient smile had strong lethality, making elders feel happy just looking at it.
“It seems that little bastard has taken good care of you.” Mother Yue expressed approval of Kather’s responsible attitude.
“By the way, Mom heard you picked up a few friends to live at home today, is it true?” Well, it turned out this Xiao fellow had pushed all the responsibility of picking up Aemeath and the others onto her.
“Hmm, yes.
But it wasn’t my decision alone.
Ling met one of them when he went out and asked about their situation.” Denia answered very “honestly.” “After we discussed it, we felt it was more appropriate to bring them over to live.” “They are my fellow villagers after all, and this villa is quite big.
Having a few more people live here doesn’t get in the way at all.” “Ah, so that’s how it is.
Denia is truly a kind-hearted girl.” After hearing Denia’s explanation, Mother Yue couldn’t help but be even more satisfied with her.
“Then, could you introduce your friends to Mom?
Is it convenient?” Denia responded to Mother Yue’s expectation with action; she poked Sigrika beside her.
“Nia, what’s wrong?” Sigrika, who was scrolling through bird videos, looked up at Denia, who had just poked her.
Then, on Mother Yue’s end, she saw Orange-y looking at the lens in confusion.
“Wow, what a beautiful big sister!” Sigrika covered her small mouth in surprise.
“Nia, who is she?” “Kather’s mom.” “Ah!
Is…
is she really Senpai’s mother?” Sigrika was shocked.
The other party looked like she was only in her twenties; she didn’t expect her to already be a mother.
“Then wasn’t I very rude just now?!” Sigrika turned panicked, her face flushed ripe, and her small hands hanging in the air didn’t know where to put them.
“Oh my, look at how anxious this child is.” Mother Yue chuckled.
“It’s fine, calling me ‘big sister’ is okay too.
It’s best if you call me that a few more times; I love hearing it.” “What beautiful big sister?
I want to see, I want to see!” Thus, another pink-haired ball squeezed into the camera lens on Mother Yue’s side.
“Hello, big sister!
I’m Aemeath!” Aemeath greeted with a very energetic smile.
“We are living very happily at Xiao’s house!
He is so good to us!” Yo, she’s even calling him Xiao.
It seems this kid really hasn’t treated them badly.
“Hello, little sister Aemeath, you look very energetic.” Mother Yue praised with the unique amiable smile of an elder.
“Seeing you reminds me of when I was young and just as energetic.” “And me, and me!” Mother Yue saw another little golden-haired girl squeeze into the left side of the lens.
“Hello, big sister, I’m Lynae!” Lynae introduced herself very enthusiastically.
“My hobbies are riding motorcycles for a spin and graffiti.
If there’s a chance, I’ll take you for a spin and to play with graffiti; it’s so fun!” “Heh heh!
Okay, I’d like to experience what it’s like to go for a spin and do graffiti, and see if it’s really as fun as you say.” Mother Yue responded to Lynae’s greeting with equal enthusiasm.
“They are all very good girls, don’t you think, Mom?” Denia leaned in front of the camera and asked Mother Yue.
“They say chatting with young people can make you younger.
I was half-skeptical before, but today, after getting to know your friends, I really feel a bit younger.” Mother Yue nodded with a smile.
“As expected, one should make more friends with young girls.” The several big girls on the sofa were chatting noisily with Mother Yue on the other end of the phone, leaving a certain Kather completely on the sidelines.
Kather: Am I even a person!
Am I really a person!
“Senpai, I seemed to hear someone calling ‘big sister’ just now…?” A familiar voice rang out.
Kather turned his head and saw Chisaki, who had just finished showering.
At this moment, she was wearing pure black pajamas printed all over with the prototype of Bozai, Capybara.
She really loved Bozai.
Chisaki was still wiping her hair with a towel when Denia suddenly turned the camera to Chisaki, who was wiping her hair.
Then Mother Yue saw Chisaki frozen in place while wiping her hair, looking quite comical.
“…Hello, big sister?” Although she didn’t know if the “big sister” they were talking about was this beautiful woman in front of her, it was right to just follow along.
“Alright, little sister Chisaki, you should dry your hair first, otherwise you might catch a cold sleeping at night.” Mother Yue reminded her with some amusement.
Chisaki’s delicate little round face was flushed with two shades of crimson; she silently wiped her hair dry.
Thus, this sudden thunderous surprise inspection came to an end in the best possible way.
…
Late night is a time when sleepiness sweeps over.
After a day of accidents and hard work, everyone’s eyelids were already fighting, so they simply went back to their rooms to sleep.
But it wasn’t as if most people could fall asleep the moment they hit the bed.
Aemeath smiled knowingly as she looked at a new group chat on her phone.
After that unexpected inspection session ended, Mother Yue had started a group chat with them and also called over the financier behind this villa.
The other party was quite generous, giving five-figure pocket money to each of them.
Upon learning this, Kather fell to his knees powerlessly, shouting, “Am I your biological son!
Am I really your biological son!” She had originally wanted to give some to Kather, after all, with her own expenses, she shouldn’t need that much money, but Sister Mother Yue had explicitly said that she couldn’t give him a single cent, otherwise, their pocket money would be deducted.
However, it was just said that she couldn’t give him money directly; it didn’t say she couldn’t help him alleviate his poverty in other forms, right?
Aemeath thought to herself.
This little story came to an end for now.
Aemeath suddenly remembered the group photo with Grandma Lin at noon, so she immediately dug it out.
She framed this group photo in a position where she could see it at first glance, then quietly admired it.
Grandma Lin sat in the C-position, a kind smile on her face, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes becoming more noticeable as she smiled.
Sigrika and Denia sat on the left and right sides of Grandma Lin respectively; one was making a peace sign with both hands with a bright smile, the other was making a peace sign with one hand with a gentle smile.
I really don’t know how these two girls with completely different personalities became best friends who could talk about everything.
Lynae and Chisaki stood behind Denia and Sigrika respectively.
Lynae was making a peace sign with her left hand while also winking, while Chisaki was smiling faintly and making a peace sign with her right hand.
And she herself stood behind Grandma Lin, using the pose she had used when taking a photo with Rover at the end of the Flying Snow Velvet fan meeting to take the photo with Grandma Lin.
Hmm, very photogenic; Flying Snow Velvet herself was very satisfied.
As for Xiao, he was holding up peace signs with both hands, his mouth grinning wide.
He looked happier than anyone, and his tall figure seemed like everyone’s support.
Aemeath suddenly recalled the confusion and helplessness when she first came to this world.
At that time, she was just like herself when she first became an electronic ghost, not knowing where her future would lead.
Fortunately, the development of the story this time was completely different from that time.
Back then, after becoming an electronic ghost, she could only rely on the passage of time to gradually accept the status quo.
But here, she met Grandma Lin, the kind-hearted folks in the alley, Chisaki and the others, and finally Xiao, making her understand that she was not alone.
This friendship from another world, even if one day in the future she returned to Solaris, she would never forget it, and would never forget it.
Maybe it’s not a big deal now… maybe it will be later.
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
