The arrival of Lin Mu and the others brought great joy to Yoko Saionji.
Besides Yoko Saionji, Asada Shino was also very happy.
However, when facing Shiina Mahiru, she still felt a bit guilty.
After all, she had stolen her good friend's man, and her good friend didn't seem to know yet.
Thus, she inexplicably felt a sense of anticipation.
When would Mu-kun come clean to Mahiru?
Being secretive was exciting, but she was also a little scared.
Looking at the beautiful girl clerks in the store, Yoko Saionji touched her own cheek and couldn't help but sigh.
"Youth is truly wonderful."
"I originally wanted to open a restaurant by the sea, but after much thought, I found it too troublesome, so I simply opened a convenience store to try my hand at it."
Looking at Yoko Saionji, who had come over to sigh next to him, Lin Mu glanced at her surging chest and naturally continued the conversation:
"A convenience store is also good. Isn't Yoko-san already building her career?"
"Besides, you're still young too. Standing with the students, you look just like sisters."
As a man, one's words must be soft to make girls happy.
Lin Mu had mastered the essence, choosing only to say pleasant things.
Yoko Saionji immediately smiled.
Along with an alluring scent, a soft touch came to his arm.
It was Yoko Saionji who had embraced Lin Mu's arm, gazing at him with fervent eyes.
"Mu-kun, your mouth truly knows how to speak."
"It has to be. But I'm just telling the truth."
Lin Mu glanced at the softness of Yoko Saionji pressing against his phone, and he increasingly felt a familiar aura about her.
He sensed it, and how was it a bit like the aura after his demonic seed had blossomed and bore fruit?
Thinking of a certain possibility, his expression became strange.
The afternoon's work time quickly passed.
Everyone, having gained much, said their goodbyes and went home.
Lin Mu and Mahiru dropped Asada Shino off on their way and then returned to the rental house together.
Both of their rooms were on the second floor, so they had to take the stairs.
And looking at the clean staircase and hallway, it was, not surprisingly, Gabriel's masterpiece.
Gabriel, before her fall, was a true angel, a little angel whose purpose was to create a beautiful world and make people happy. Naturally, she was a diligent and helpful good girl.
However, this little angel's appearance would probably disappear very soon.
Because Lin Mu noticed she had bought a computer and a phone.
Hmm, she had also exchanged phone numbers with him today.
Upon returning home, Lin Mu immediately collapsed onto the sofa, not wanting to move.
The sofa had a mysterious power that sealed his demonic energy.
It definitely wasn't because he was lazy.
Shiina Mahiru, wearing an apron, looked at him lounging on the sofa and shook her head helplessly.
Finding a blanket from his room's closet, she gently covered his stomach with it, then began to clean.
It was his house, yet she was incredibly diligent.
Occasionally tired, she still felt very content.
Just one glance at the person on the sofa, and she felt like she had found a harbor for her soul, full of motivation.
Lin Mu felt Mahiru's gentleness, and his heart also felt warm.
The blanket on him represented Little Angel Mahiru's heartfelt sentiment.
So, Second Miss Yukinoshita was indeed far inferior to Mahiru.
However, he could teach her slowly.
Life, after all, needed to be different to be interesting.
He was looking forward to it.
What a wonderful feeling it would be when Mahiru and Second Miss were together?
Shiina Mahiru, who was cleaning, suddenly heard her phone ring.
So she had to stop what she was doing and go out to answer the phone.
Of course, it wasn't that she wanted to hide anything, but that she didn't want to disturb Mu-kun's rest.
The call was from Auntie Xiaoxue, who was her family's maid and had grown up with Shiina Mahiru since she was a child.
When she answered the phone, a woman's gentle voice came from inside.
"Miss, are you alright now?"
"Of course, Auntie Xiaoxue, I'm fine. People always grow up, don't they?"
"Oh..." Auntie Xiaoxue sighed, "Does Miss still not plan to go home?"
Then she, the maid, would lose her reason for existence.
"I'm sorry, Auntie Xiaoxue, I'm doing very well... I don't want to go back to that house where I'm the only one anymore."
The other side was silent for a long time before getting down to business:
"Miss, something happened at home. Your parents are divorced."
"It's good that you don't come back. There... is a new owner."
When Shiina Mahiru heard this, she staggered and her eyes widened.
Divorced?
They're only telling me about this now?
"Then... who is my guardian? Who is it?"
...
Taking a deep breath, Shiina Mahiru held back her tears and tried to keep her tone calm.
"It's me. Master and Madam gave me a sum of money and entrusted me to continue taking care of Miss. If possible, Miss can continue to come back and live here."
"No need, Auntie Xiaoxue. You also said that there is a new owner there, right? I won't go back and get in the way."
"Finally, thank you, Auntie Xiaoxue."
After saying this, Shiina Mahiru ended the call.
Tears began to fall uncontrollably.
In that house, she was indeed an extra.
Although her family was very wealthy and could be considered an upper-class family, those two people never took her with them when attending banquets.
All she could do was work hard alone, waiting for those two people to come home, even if they just praised her.
...
However, everything was in vain.
Shiina Mahiru's existence was a stain on Shiina Asahi and Shiina Sayo's lives.
The two, who were united for the sake of family interests, felt that their romances had been delayed because of each other.
So after giving birth to Shiina Mahiru, the two also began a superficial married life, each living their own lives behind the scenes.
Naturally, both of them had another small family.
And when Shiina Mahiru left that house, Shiina Asahi also chose to bring his illegitimate daughter home to live.
They weren't even willing to act anymore.
After all, they were divorced.
And poor Shiina, she didn't do anything wrong, but she became the one who was abandoned.
Her guardian was actually a maid. How ridiculous.
The nominal Shiina family's Second Miss was not as well-treated as the illegitimate daughter.
Lin Mu was awakened by Shiina Mahiru.
The petite and soft Little Angel Mahiru suddenly lay on his chest.
He felt a hot sensation on his chest. When he looked down, he was startled.
"Mahiru, why are you crying? Who bullied you? Tell me, I'll go teach him a lesson!"
That hot sensation was the tears she shed.
"No, no one bullied me. I just wanted to cry."
"Hey, Mu-kun, can you hug me?"
Just like the day they first met.
She looked like an abandoned little animal, and her pitiful appearance made his heart ache.
Without saying anything, he hugged her tightly.
He raised his hand and gently stroked Shiina Mahiru's soft hair, soothing her emotions.
