"What services do you need?"
A waiter about twenty years old wearing a white apron asked Kuriyama Mai.
He looked at the time and saw that there were 8 minutes left before the agreed 75 minutes. Then he looked out the window to see Ken Takayama waiting anxiously at the door of the tram station.
"Just a cup of iced Coke~"
"Want another snack? Fried chicken or fries?"
"Wait a minute, add another cup of ice water. The ice needs to be frozen for more than a day."
"Um…?"
The waiter looked like he was looking at a monster, while Kuriyama Mai took off the cold hat on his head with an indifferent expression.
"Coke leaves an unpleasant taste in your mouth, so you have to rinse your mouth with water."
The waiter put on a professional smile.
"Okay then~ Please wait a moment."
Kuriyama Mai held his chin with one hand and looked at the flow of people outside the window, thinking about his next plan.
If he really brings Takayama Ken's brother to a bloody battle with Nakamura, Mitsui Kanon will deal with him who failed tomorrow.
It would be okay if he could be pinned to death in one strike, but if he couldn't swallow that breath and still refused to give up, he would be in serious trouble.
We have to think of a way to divert the conflict.
While he was deep in thought, a beautiful woman with good looks and perfect breasts walked into the store.
But what attracted Kuriyama Mai's attention even more was her slightly mottled ear-length blond hair, which was exactly the same color as her own.
This belongs to the original owner's father...?
Maybe he was staring at her too obviously, but the beautiful beauty seemed to feel his gaze and turned her head to meet his gaze.
Kuriyama Mai did not dodge, but smiled and winked at her. It would have been too obscene to avert his eyes at this time.
She looks very similar to Chinatsu Kasuga, but unlike Chinatsu's aloof and cold aura, she has a very relatable 'big sister' temperament.
The beauty showed an "interesting" smile at the same time and walked straight towards him. After the two passed by, she sat on the booth opposite.
The system smoothly projected the information in front of his eyes.
[Name: Kashiwara Chiharu]
[Charm: A+]
[Information: The eldest daughter of Mina Kashiwahara, the current head of the Kashiwara Foundation, one of the four major neon consortiums; the half-sister of Chinatsu Kasuga]
[Location: On the opposite side of you]
Same father and same mother? Why do these two sisters have different last names? Her father, Kasuga Yuichi, was a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, probably because of his background in the Kashiwahara family.
Even if they don't change their surname in Neon, they can still have a child with the surname 'Haruhi'.
"Are you Xiaoxia's boyfriend?"
While Kuriyama Mai was still thinking about their family background, Kashiwara Chiharu's simple question brought him back to reality.
His tone was as casual as asking if you had eaten. Kuriyama Mai shook the Coke on the table, tried his best to calm down, and asked calmly:
"How did you know?"
"Hahahahahaha~" Chiharu Kashiwahara showed a hearty smile, "You have her scent on you. My autistic sister will not get too close to boys unless..."
She hesitated to speak, and smiled meaningfully at Kuriyama Mai.
Was it because Konan held on too tightly that Chinatsu left a scent on her body?
Kuriyama Mai picked up his arm and sniffed it with some confusion.
Chiharu opposite her smiled even brighter, but just as she was about to speak, a waiter came to her side.
"What services do you need?"
She answered simply and without any hesitation:
"A large French fries fresh out of the pan with a glass of hot milk."
“Instead of ketchup, add paprika.”
Kuriyama Mai also took this opportunity to take a closer look at this beauty. Although her appearance was very similar to Chinatsu's, her unabashedly bright smile was unique.
Moreover, she has short, ear-length hair, a fair and upright face, and a long tube top dress. Even though she smiles a little childishly, she still has an aristocratic magnificence.
But something always felt wrong.
"It's too formal for you to come here to eat French fries in this outfit!"
Kuriyama Mai was the first to tell what was wrong.
Kashiwahara Chiharu ignored him at all, stood up, crossed the middle table, and reached out to ruffle his hair.
"It's really not the product of failed hair dyeing. It's actually the same natural color as mine!"
She said excitedly, and played with his hair even more intensely.
If it weren't for her two half-peeled cream grapes that exuded a faint coconut fragrance, hanging just right in front of her eyes, Kuriyama Mai would have wanted to hit someone. This young lady must have gone too far.
She and her sister simply don’t seem to be on the same planet!
As time passed, he complained impatiently:
"Hey, my hair is almost going bald because of you, please stop."
"You've seen enough~" She suddenly grabbed a handful of hair, gently put it down, and sat upright across from her again.
Kashiwahara Chiharu looked at him with a knowing expression:
"My sister doesn't have such good things to see~"
This guy... Kuriyama Mai pretended to be stupid and shook his head, then asked with a blank look on his face:
"What sister? This beautiful lady, this is the first time we meet today~"
"We just happen to have similar hair colors. I'm not your sister."
But you can't let a woman lead you by the nose.
Chiharu Kashiwahara waved his hands as if to cover up his recklessness, but still said with a smile on his face:
"Sorry, sorry, I was too excited just now. After all, my autistic sister suddenly has a boyfriend, and her hair color is so similar to mine... hahahaha."
Kuriyama Mai could only admit that there was no trace of sincere apology in her bright smile.
"I forgot to introduce myself. I am Chiharu Kashiwahara, the elder sister of Chinatsu Kasuga... As for why the last name is different, it is because of my father and mother's awkward love. If you ask me the specific reason, I don't know."
She said that her expression finally became more serious when she introduced herself.
Seeing her frank confession, Kuriyama Mai also introduced himself honestly:
"I, Kuriyama Mai, am not a boyfriend, I am just in the same club with Kasuga Chinatsu."
"Her club is recruiting new members!?" The smile on Kashiwahara Chiharu's face froze instantly.
"Hey~~~" But after a while, she let out a strange sigh.
She raised the milk glass in her hand and generously motioned for Kuriyama Mai to touch it with her.
"Bang" the two people's cups collided, "Maybe you are not in the present tense, but you will be in the future tense~"
She drank the hot milk in the cup in one gulp, and her eyes took the opportunity to come closer. The distance between their eyes became closer and closer, and even the tips of their noses were almost touching.
"Xiaoxia is autistic and sensitive, and her personality is a bit awkward...so, you have to take good care of her in the future~"
Kuriyama Mai leaned back slightly, keeping a certain distance before spreading his hands towards her:
"To be honest, my sister has taken better care of me since I joined the club."
Chiharu Kashiwahara shook her head noncommittally, "She does look like her, but Xiaomai, you have to work hard. Even though Xiaoxia looks like that, she actually lacks care~"
After saying that, she smiled again, and sat back down again. With her delicate white hands, she directly picked up four or five fries covered in chili powder and stuffed them into her mouth.
And before this bite was completely swallowed, he grabbed another handful of fries and stuffed it into his mouth.
Looking at her bulging cheeks and her devouring look, there is no trace of the reserved image that a young lady from a big family should have.
However, it’s actually kind of cute!
She ate up a large portion of French fries in less than two minutes. She unceremoniously picked up the ice water in front of Kuriyama Mai and drank it in one gulp. She also pretended to be cute and winked at Kuriyama Mai.
"You won't mind, right? I'll make it up to you if I have a chance~"
Before Kuriyama Mai could answer, two strong men in suits and ties hurriedly walked in from the door, "Miss, it's almost time for the reception."
Only then did Kuriyama Mai notice that the two strong men had a strange logo on their suits, and he suddenly had a plan in mind.
"Sister Kashiwahara, can you give me the handsome badges on these two eldest brothers' clothes?"
He also had a cute expression on his face and looked at Kashiwahara Chiharu pitifully, "It's really cool~"
Kashiwahara Chiharu's laughter became fierce again, and she said with a smile, "He is still a boy who has not got out of the 'chuunibyou', just like my poor sister~"
She immediately greeted the two strong men:
"Ishikawa, Ito, take off the family emblem and give it to him~"
Although the two strong men were a little confused, they still took off the logo on their chests.
Chiharu Kashiwahara personally handed the two badges to Kuriyama Mugi, smiled brightly at him, waved goodbye with some reluctance, and trotted away with the two strong men.
Just when she opened the door, she suddenly turned around and shouted to Kuriyama Mai:
"Disney will have a doll on sale at six o'clock tomorrow morning. There are only 120 pieces available in Japan. You have to go and grab it in person!"
After saying that, she disappeared from sight.
PS: Kasuga Yuichi is the protagonist of the author’s last book, so it makes sense for him to be a soft-hearted person (laughs)
