The Heroines Want to Confess

Chapter 453 453: Sunscreen

Sakurai Saki escaped from the shurafield, walking past the garden planted with seasonal flowers.

Even though no one had lived here for a long time, a great deal of manpower and money was still spent on maintenance and repairs. The luxury yacht moored at the pier was the same—buying it was one sum of money, but the maintenance costs were another, sometimes even more expensive than the original purchase price.

'Good thing I didn't buy a yacht, otherwise it really would've been a waste of money…'

While thinking.

He had already arrived at the door.

What he had just said earlier was of course not a lie—

"Saki-nii!!! Over here!!" Kei waved her hand toward Sakurai Saki.

Standing beside her was another person, the non-blood-related younger sister whom Sakurai Saki had not seen for a very long time.

The servants here had already been withdrawn a few days ago, otherwise it wouldn't have come to the point where guests had to open the door themselves.

Sakurai Saki walked into the security room next door.

One minute later.

Shirogane Kei adjusted the sun hat on her head, then turned around in front of Sakurai Saki to show off the one-piece dress she was wearing: "Saki-nii, how is it?"

"Other than the two words 'so beautiful,' I can't think of any other way to describe it." Sakurai Saki carried her luggage, along with the luggage of the cheap little sister standing beside her.

"Good morning, Yami."

Sakurai Saki observed.

Waist-length golden hair, a cute face, and those cold eyes that at this moment were enough to make the surrounding temperature drop… sure enough, Kei was a bit cuter.

"This time I came only because of Fujiwara-san's invitation, it has nothing to do with onii-sama at all, it's absolutely not because I wanted to see you that I came." Golden 'Eve' Darkness replied in a soft voice.

…A textbook tsundere line, truly rare. Sakurai Saki was speechless inside.

"Is Eve-senpai really Saki-nii's younger sister?" Shirogane Kei's eyes were filled with curiosity.

There had once been rumors like this circulating in middle school, but she hadn't expected them to be true.

"Umu, she transferred back from overseas to Shuchiin a few months ago."

"I see."

Shirogane Kei felt a sense of danger.

If there really was a biological younger sister, then in the future would Saki-nii still treat her as well as before?

Wait, it should be fine, after all she's just a younger sister… it's not like she's something else. Seeing so many senpai from the student council surrounding Saki-nii every day, her thoughts had also begun to become strange.

If asked whether Kei liked him? Of course she did.

But more than that, it was probably friendship?

"Isn't Ishigami-senpai coming this time?" Shirogane Kei only found out last night that apart from Sakurai Saki, there were no other male students on this trip.

"He signed up for remedial classes." Sakurai Saki explained. "After all, his current goal is to get first in the grade, at the very least he has to make it into the top five. But in my opinion, there's basically no chance."

"Why?"

"Because there exists someone who is both smarter and more hardworking than him."

Iino Miko—the towering mountain blocking Ishigami Yu's path, rising straight into the clouds.

The ancients moving mountains had to pass it down through generations of descendants, and for Ishigami Yu to move a mountain, one year was definitely not enough. Fortunately, Ishigami was a realistic person, with a very clear understanding of himself.

"Iino-senpai really is amazing."

Shirogane Kei recalled the last time Iino Miko told her that she liked Sakurai Saki.

'Hmm, aren't there way too many girls who like Saki-nii?'

Even if he were divided into five parts, it still wouldn't be enough for everyone to share...

Sakurai Saki: "?"

Why did he suddenly feel a chill down his spine, like he was about to be secretly chopped by a knife from behind?

"This trip has only Saki-nii as the only boy, it feels really strange."

But Hayasaka-senpai is Saki-nii's girlfriend, with her there, it should be fine, right?

"Onii-sama, I hate H stuff."

Yami blushed and gave her assessment.

"It's just everyone going out together, how did it turn into H?"

"There's only you who's a boy, and Fujiwara-san, Shinomiya-san, Hayasaka-san, Iino-kouhai, and even Shirogane-imouto—everyone is a girl."

"What kind of strange creature do you even think your brother is?"

Yami thought for a moment, then muttered: "An octopus."

Hey, that's going too far, treating your brother like a tentacled monster, you know? Even if we're not related by blood, I'm still your brother in name!

Sakurai Saki sighed. "Yami, you might not believe it when I say this, but I really don't have any intentions toward everyone. I already have a girlfriend. With other girls, it can only be friendship, understand?"

"…Liar." Yami looked at him, without the slightest bit of trust in her eyes.

"?"

"You clearly often bring other women home to stay overnight… mm." Before she could finish, Sakurai Saki covered her mouth with his hand.

He almost forgot—this kid lives right next door.

Every move he makes when going in and out, she probably knows it all clearly.

"There are other people here, you know. Be a good little sister and leave me some dignity," Sakurai Saki whispered close to her ear.

"Mn~" Yami nodded.

Letting go, Sakurai Saki led the two of them across the garden.

'Yami is a legacy of the old organization. I wonder if she's hiding some earth-shaking secret.'

The collapse of the old organization back then was indeed a bit strange…

But there probably isn't any problem, right? Ever since Yami started going to school, the killing aura she carried as a "murder weapon" has gradually faded, becoming much more normal.

Besides, a plain and ordinary daily life has always been his style of living. Suddenly jumping into chaotic superpower battles—wouldn't that feel extremely out of tune?

...

Returning to the villa.

After everyone finished packing their luggage, they waited for Iino Miko to arrive, then drove together to the harbor.

At 9 a.m., a luxury yacht departed from Tokyo Bay, heading toward a small island to the north.

According to the route, if nothing unexpected happened, they wouldn't reach the destination until the next morning. Since it was a preset journey, piloting the yacht didn't require constant attention—truly something to be grateful for, thanks to the progress of civilization and technology.

The yacht had a total of three decks.

The first deck was the sleeping quarters, along with quite a few entertainment areas, such as a bar and a screening room.

The cockpit was on the second deck. There was also a swimming pool on the deck, as well as a KTV room, a kitchen, and a lounge.

As for the third deck…

"Saki-kun, help me put on sunscreen."

Fujiwara Chika cut off Sakurai Saki's train of thought. He had been lying on a lounge chair at the stern deck, watching the foamy white waves, when she pulled him back to reality.

"Where did everyone else go?" Sakurai Saki stood up and took off his sunglasses.

"Miko-chan is eating, Kaguya-san is changing into swimsuits together with Kei-chan and Eve-chan, and Ai-chan is in the cockpit checking whether the route was set incorrectly…" Fujiwara Chika bent her fingers, counting each "love rival" one by one.

No one was taking the initiative to attack—how unusual.

"Once we go a bit farther this afternoon, we can stop the boat to fish. There's also storage in the back for jet skis," Sakurai Saki said as he stood up, gesturing for Fujiwara Chika to lie face down.

She was wearing a black bikini decorated with ribbon-like accents, the fabric so scant that it was like petals barely covering a blossom, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin…

After Chika lay down, Sakurai Saki casually untied the straps of her swimsuit.

He squeezed out the milky-white sunscreen and spread it—

"Kyaa!!"

Fujiwara Chika's body stiffened.

"It's so cold!"

"Bear with it." Sakurai Saki's fingers glided across her smooth skin.

"This is clearly the classic sunscreen-applying scene, but Saki-kun, your reaction is really strange—you're not embarrassed at all?" Fujiwara Chika felt his large hand continuously tracing over her back, and while suppressing her sense of bashfulness, she asked.

"Haven't I touched it plenty of times before?" Sakurai Saki finished applying it to her back. "Turn over, I'll do the front as well."

"Pervert, Saki-kun." Chika covered her full curves, her face flushed as she muttered, "…you should at least show a bit of embarrassment too. Could it be that my body isn't attractive at all?"

A few seconds later, Chika let go, lying in front of him, openly presenting her alluring figure without any attempt to hide it—like twin lotus buds rising from a snowy field, entering Sakurai Saki's view.

She turned her face slightly to the side and said in a soft voice:

"But… I also really, really like it when you're this gentle."

Sakurai Saki: "?"

You've already said both the good and the bad yourself—what am I supposed to say then?

Itadakimasu?
