Ring～
The phone on the table emitted a light sound, and Morimoto Chiyoda, who was flipping through docunts, looked up and reached over to unlock her phone, seeing the ssage from Aozawa.
"Chitose, Iroha wants to stay over tonight, could you please make dinner for one more person?"
"Okay."
Morimoto Chiyoda quickly replied with a single word. No one knew how much effort that simple word took.
Her index finger trembled as she sent the ssage.
The day had finally arrived.
When she agreed to Aozawa's request, she already knew that she would face this day sooner or later.
She just didn't expect it to co so soon.
Soon, she would have to prepare a sumptuous dinner for her rival and let the two roll around on the bed she had prepared.
While she could only sleep on her own bed, covered with a quilt, under the cold air conditioning.
Morimoto Chiyoda thought about the scene she might face tonight, and she felt unwilling to deal with work, leaning back heavily and exhaling a deep breath.
Ding ding, the sound rang again.
She picked up her phone and glanced at it, seeing an emoji of love sent from Aozawa.
"I'm still at work, let's not chat now."
Morimoto Chiyoda used this sentence as a closing remark and exited the chat interface with Aozawa. She truly liked Ayatsuki Ayaka, but that person suddenly visiting and entering the private space that should belong to her and Aozawa.
It's unavoidable that she felt a little uncomfortable.
Morimoto Chiyoda thought for a mont and opened the chat interface with Phoenix Academy Maggie.
Such a good event naturally had to be shared with her dear sister, Phoenix Academy Maggie.
Just thinking about Phoenix Academy Maggie's expression and thoughts upon receiving the news, Morimoto Chiyoda's depression and slight discomfort vanished in joy.
Indeed, Phoenix Academy Maggie's pain was her pleasure.
Morimoto Chiyoda imdiately typed a ssage, "Maggie, did you know? Tonight Ayatsuki Ayaka is coming to my place for dinner, staying overnight, and sleeping with Aozawa.
Do you think I should prepare a sumptuous dinner to serve her?"
She pressed send.
Morimoto Chiyoda's lips curled slightly, reflecting on how she was indeed a bad woman.
But the feeling of teasing Phoenix Academy Maggie was irresistible to her.
...
"Makoto, I told you, I left early due to so affairs, not because I feared gossip."
Phoenix Academy Maggie replied to her friend's ssage, defending her actions as she headed outside the campus and onto the path toward Aya Station.
Ding, she glanced at her phone, finding it wasn't a ssage from Makoto, but from an annoying person.
Even though she knew the ssage from this person couldn't be good news, Phoenix Academy Maggie still clicked on it.
The unread label changed to read.
She now knew what she hadn't eavesdropped on earlier.
Phoenix Academy Maggie pressed her lips tightly, fully aware that the other party seed to be asking what dish to make, but was actually trying to throw her off balance with this kind of ssage.
Heh, how naive.
She was an unyielding giant and imdiately typed, "With your cooking skills, how can you show sincerity to your guests? It's better to invite them to a restaurant for a proper al.
For you, prepare a blanket and don't get too cold sleeping alone tonight."
Without using any foul language throughout, yet the sharp tone was palpable through the words.
Morimoto Chiyoda wanted to apply pressure, but it backfired.
Phoenix Academy Maggie was the type to rebound and fight back harder under pressure, never to be crushed by any adversity.
Everyone has their monts of downfall.
Reflecting on the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei ran around, weaving mats, and selling shoes, chased by Cao Cao, while at that ti, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu shone brightly. And what beca of them?
The two, once flourishing, ultimately failed. Only Liu Bei who was battered but unyielding gained the honorable title of Emperor Zhaolie of Han.
Only those who persist to the end can achieve victory.
Phoenix Academy Maggie believed that as long as she persevered, she would eventually defeat them and occupy Aozawa's heart completely.
"Haha, thanks for the concern, dear sister, but tonight I'm not sleeping alone, our bed is rather lively."
Upon seeing Morimoto Chiyoda's ssage reply, Phoenix Academy Maggie's pupils shrank, feeling as if her worldview shattered at that mont.
Could they possibly be three together?
If so, Phoenix Academy Maggie suddenly felt imnse pressure, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead, her fingers typing rapidly, "Sorry, seems I'm ignorant, even dogs know it's one-on-one."
Facing these straightforward words, Morimoto Chiyoda smirked slightly, knowing soone had already broken down.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have spoken so bluntly, she quickly replied, "Don't underestimate humans."
The ssage was marked as read, but no further reply ca.
Morimoto Chiyoda let out a chuckle, her chest starting to tremble too.
She understood, soone had realized they were at a disadvantage and was reluctant to continue the fight.
Victory~
Morimoto Chiyoda embraced the joy in her heart and began dealing with the docunts on her desk.
...
As soon as five o'clock in the afternoon arrived, Morimoto Chiyoda clocked out punctually, opened the door of the Bugatti Veyron, and found the passenger seat piled with groceries bought in the morning.
There were extra guests coming today, so naturally, another trip to the supermarket was needed.
With her current status, she could actually ask people from the Intelligence Departnt to help her buy groceries.
Unfortunately, Morimoto Chiyoda could easily delegate work-related tasks to her subordinates, but for matters unrelated to work, she would not casually use people from the Intelligence Departnt to handle her private affairs.
Even slacking off has its principles, and Morimoto Chiyoda couldn't bring herself to misuse public resources for personal reasons.
She drove to the supermarket, bought so additional groceries, then returned to the Morimoto Family, and imdiately dove into the kitchen to start preparing dinner for the day.
She washed the rice, cooked it, washed all the purchased vegetables, and sliced those that needed cutting.
For dishes that took a longer ti, like chicken soup, she usually started simring them first, then took breaks to stir-fry dishes that required constant attention.
Under Morimoto Chiyoda's arrangents, the previously busy kitchen work beca smooth and not hectic at all.
From outside the entrance ca Aozawa's voice calling, "Chitose, I'm back~"
"Sister Chitose, I'm here too~"
"Hmm, you two go wash your hands first, then sit in the living room.
Aozawa, you carry the dishes; I'm still working on a soup here."
Morimoto Chiyoda responded loudly, keeping an eye on the soup's simring ti.
...
The usual Morimoto Family set-up was four dishes and one soup; today, with an extra person, it turned into eight dishes and two soups.
"Wow, this is so lavish."
Ayatsuki Ayaka sat on the chair, looking at the plates of colorful, aromatic, and delicious food in front of her, exclaiming with an amazed face, "Sister Chitose, your cooking skills are amazing!"
"They're alright."
Morimoto Chiyoda replied modestly, though she internally savored such complints.
She disliked sycophants, yet she quite enjoyed genuine praise.
Ayatsuki Ayaka blinked and asked, puzzled, "But, Sister Chitose, do you guys eat this much every day?"
"Of course not, today my dear sister is visiting, so naturally, I'd make so extra tasty dishes for you~"
Morimoto Chiyoda said this as she moved the chicken leg Aozawa wanted to grab into Ayatsuki Ayaka's bowl, smilingly saying, "Eat more, don't be shy, feel at ho."
"Hmm."
Ayatsuki Ayaka nodded, picking up the chicken leg with a grin, "I've got a big appetite, Saeko and Maru always give what they can't finish."
"That doesn't sound like a good thing."
Morimoto Chiyoda teased, glancing sideways at soone, "Iroha, did you co here because Aozawa invited you?"
The reason for asking this was that Morimoto Chiyoda rembered Aozawa once proposed a bold idea.
She couldn't guarantee that he'd retracted that bold idea.
Ayatsuki Ayaka shook her head, saying, "Sister Chitose, I ca of my own accord, did I cause you any trouble?"
Her big glistening eyes stared at Morimoto Chiyoda.
So adorable... Morimoto Chiyoda truly wanted to hug her, hurriedly saying with a smile, "Of course not, I'm just afraid Aozawa might suddenly propose a bold idea to you, and you'd find it hard to refuse.
If you're willing, then there are no issues.
Don't just stay for a night, I have no objection to you staying indefinitely.
I see you as my own little sister."
"Hehe, I also see Sister Chitose as my real sister."
Ayatsuki Ayaka smiled, believing what she said, and explained, "I asked to co over this ti.
After all, I can't do much else, I can only help Aozawa ease the psychological trauma left by the intense battle in this way."
"What psychological trauma are you talking about?"
Morimoto Chiyoda blinked; she was completely unaware of such a thing.
Ayatsuki Ayaka paused, then began to recount the news she'd heard from friends to Morimoto Chiyoda.
Aozawa, feeling guilty, buried his head in the al, possibly because the food was too hot, causing sweat to drip down his forehead, even his back glistened with sweat.
Oh dear, the weather is really hot.
Aozawa quickly drank a glass of iced fruit juice to quench his thirst, but he didn't taste the sweetness, only bitterness filled his mouth.
Morimoto Chiyoda revealed a aningful expression, "Is that so, I've never heard Aozawa say a word about intense battles.
So, was yesterday calm or intense?"
Tilting her head, her black hair slid off her shoulders, her eyes full of mischief, not believing an Angel Envoy could be pushed to near death by ordinary pursuers.
Gulp, Aozawa swallowed the fruit juice, explaining, "Regarding this matter, I must clarify.
The stories told by the Kendo club aren't true, just thrilling tales for storytelling.
The real version is exactly as I told you all, there wasn't any actual conflict."
"Really?!"
Ayatsuki Ayaka stared at him, realizing she couldn't tell if he was lying, she quickly turned to Morimoto Chiyoda beside her.
She couldn't discern, but the mature and sensible Sister Chitose could surely see through Aozawa's lies.
"This is the truth."
Upon hearing Morimoto Chiyoda's assurance, Ayatsuki Ayaka's cheeks puffed like an angry pufferfish's belly, glaring at the sweating Aozawa.
Seeing this, Morimoto Chiyoda not only refrained from helping clear things up but instead added fuel to the fire, "You must punish a man who lies~"
