Without any surprises, it was afternoon again.
Lin Mu's club activity today was still working at Saionji Odoriko's shop.
After all, his manuscript fees hadn't arrived yet, so a part-time job was a faster way to earn money.
Working at the convenience store, an hour was about 1100 to 1300, depending on the staff's performance as judged by the store manager.
And Lin Mu, Mahiru, Kato Megumi, and Asada Shino all had an hourly wage of 1200.
Oh, and there was a new arrival, Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia.
However, because she also had to go to the dance club to practice cheerleading dances, she simply invited Lin Mu and the others to come and watch.
Upon seeing Shiina Mahiru's arrival, the dance club's senior members immediately brightened up, eagerly grabbing Mahiru's small hand and asking if she was interested in joining.
Shiina Mahiru, however, smiled and refused.
The cheerleading uniforms in the dance club had skirts that were too short, and they could only wear short socks, which she didn't really like.
Also, Mu-kun tended to get jealous easily, and he definitely wouldn't want her fair skin to be seen by other boys.
And most importantly, Shiina Mahiru no longer needed popularity to fulfill herself; she existed only for Lin Mu and no longer had to think about becoming excellent to reconcile her parents.
So, joining the cheerleading squad was completely unnecessary.
Besides, what if she was so dazzling that she stole Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia's thunder?
"Eh, with such a good figure and looks, you're not interested in joining our dance club? What a pity."
The Senior student regretfully released her hand and could only lead Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia and the other members in their daily practice.
Lin Mu waited at the door. Although he also wanted to watch, being seen as a pervert would not be good for his image.
The image of a pervert could be exposed in front of his own girls; this was also a reasonable and intimate way to bond with them.
But if the image of a pervert became solidified in the eyes of other girls at school, it might cause him to miss out on other girls who would distance themselves due to rumors.
A few minutes later, Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia, having finished her training, changed her clothes and came out with Shiina Mahiru and Kato Megumi.
The Senior student looked at Kato Megumi in surprise. Had this Junior Female Student been inside just now?
Why hadn't she noticed her at all?
Could she be a ghost?
...
"Let's go, Mu-kun, I've finished my training, we can go participate in our club activities now!"
When Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia said this, she also winked her beautiful big eyes at him.
It had a somewhat ambiguous meaning.
Shiina Mahiru's expression immediately became strange as she looked at her.
Lin Mu knew that this little girl was getting revenge on him for bullying her and forcefully kissing her, deliberately expressing ambiguity.
She wanted to cause a love triangle between him and Mahiru, and disrupt the harmonious atmosphere between him and Mahiru.
However, he didn't expose her. He would find another opportunity to teach her a lesson tomorrow.
Now, it was time to go to work.
Though it was called work, it wasn't tiring at all.
When Saionji Odoriko saw him and Mahiru arrive, she enthusiastically stepped forward to greet them.
Her sparkling eyes always emanated a gentle look.
Occasionally, she would even hug his arm, bumping into him and telling him to rest in the lounge.
After sensing a familiar magical aura within Saionji Odoriko, Lin Mu realized that she should also be one of his Dependents.
However, her becoming his Dependent must have happened at some point in the past.
After all, if transmigration could happen, it wasn't impossible for him, an almost omnipotent demon, to gain the ability to travel through time and space in the future.
He just didn't know if the other wives, like Kiyoura Mai, were in a similar situation.
If so, it would be a pity. He was still thinking about Kiyoura Setsuna. If Setsuna turned out to be his daughter, it would be a huge joke.
Lin Mu was a demon, not a beast.
But then again, maybe he and Setsuna weren't related by blood?
The blossoming and fruiting of magic seeds were diverse, capable of producing all sorts of abilities.
For example, it wasn't impossible to replicate one's own genes and create a child.
While he was lost in thought and experiencing Saionji Odoriko's gentle gaze, it was unknowingly time to get off work.
Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia left happily with her part-time earnings.
With extra pocket money, she might use it to buy some props, like a magic user's headband... Bah, I've already graduated from chuunibyou, why am I still thinking about those things?
Seal it for me quickly!
MoriSummer must be sealed permanently!
Kato Megumi and Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia went back together as they were on the same route.
Lin Mu, on the other hand, walked along the street with Asada Shino and Shiina Mahiru.
Asada Shino's gentle gaze occasionally fell on Lin Mu, but quickly retracted.
She looked at Shiina Mahiru guiltily, subconsciously lowering her head in inferiority.
Compared to the dazzling, angelic young lady, she seemed so lacking.
And she was very poor, which made her feel even more humble.
"Hey, Asada-classmate, can we come to your house today? Miss Yoko was so kind, she gave me some half-price bentos and things."
"Mu-kun and I can't eat it all, so can we come to your place and eat together?"
"Ah, of course!" Asada Shino quickly nodded in agreement.
Shiina Mahiru smiled and took her hand, "Then let's go, Mu-kun, you need to hold onto the things tightly, don't drop them, okay?"
"En, rest assured and leave it to me."
Lin Mu was quite willing to be Little Angel Mahiru's bag-carrying tool, after all, that was his dinner too.
It's just, he suddenly felt a little guilty, what should he do?
Mahiru had probably already figured it out.
The discounted items Saionji Odoriko gave them were clearly freshly made and didn't need to be sold at a discount.
This was clearly meant for Lin Mu to eat.
There were also two boxes of high-quality wagyu beef slices and fresh oysters inside.
Was this meant to nourish his body?
Arriving at Asada Shino's doorstep, Lin Mu's shoes were still quietly placed there.
However, they seemed to have been wiped clean, appearing spotless, and the leather shoes were shiny.
Asada Shino glanced at the shoes, her cheeks slightly red, then led the two into her room.
After Shiina Mahiru put on an apron, she pushed Lin Mu out, telling him to go play in Asada's room by himself.
She deliberately stayed behind because she wanted to have a private chat with Asada Shino.
Asada Shino also seemed to realize something. Dressed in a simple apron, she nervously stared at the ingredients in her hand.
Biting her lip, she said nothing, silently washing the vegetables.
Suddenly, Shiina Mahiru spoke up.
"Asada-classmate, you and Mu-kun… did *that*, didn't you?"
···
"Ah?"
Asada Shino's cheeks instantly turned crimson. She opened her mouth wide, stammering and unable to speak, not knowing how to answer her.
How could Student Shiina be so direct?
She wouldn't hit me, would she, taking advantage of Mu-kun's absence to tear apart the other woman?
"What, your silence means you didn't do it?"
Shiina Mahiru frowned, staring at her.
Asada Shino's face was somewhat pale, but her eyes quickly became firm.
She nodded slightly and replied.
"En, I did."
"And how did it feel?"
Shiina Mahiru held her hand, asking very seriously.
Asada Shino was stunned, but feeling a little guilty, she still subconsciously answered.
"Hmm… how to put it… it was amazing… I… I couldn't quite handle it."
After speaking, she nervously looked at Shiina Mahiru, afraid that she would angrily slap this shameless woman.
However, Shiina Mahiru nodded vigorously, with an expression like she had met a kindred spirit.
"Isn't that right, he's practically not human, I can't handle him either."
"Eh… this… Student Shiina, what exactly do you mean? I… I so shamelessly seduced Mu-kun, aren't you angry?"
Asada Shino gathered her courage to say this, feeling incredibly nervous.
Shiina Mahiru, however, sighed and looked at her very seriously:
"When I first realized it, I was very upset, but you also know that Mu-kun is not an ordinary person, right?"
"Moreover, rather than saying you seduced him, it's more like he deliberately made a move on you. He's just a bad man who will decisively make a move on pretty girls, Asada, you should know that, right?"
"En… even though he had Shiina, he still did that with me. He is a bit bad, but I also think it's good."
Hearing Asada Shino's words, Shiina Mahiru smiled, "Since you also think it's good, then let's get along well from now on."
"Asada, I won't blame you, but I want to tell you that I won't leave Mu-kun. It's impossible for you to monopolize him. I only have him."
No matter what Asada Shino thought, she had made her stance clear.
If Asada Shino couldn't accept her, then it would be better to leave sooner rather than later, because Shiina Mahiru would definitely not leave, nor would she foolishly give up her man.
Either they would be together, with a tacit understanding, and live in harmony, or Asada Shino would leave on her own.
After clearing the air, Asada Shino was initially very shocked, then incredibly moved.
Student Shiina was truly gentle, to be able to go to such lengths for Mu-kun.
However, she had never thought of monopolizing Mu-kun anyway.
After all, she couldn't handle him alone.
While the two girls were whispering, Lin Mu was also quietly paying attention to the movements in the kitchen.
Seeing that the two girls didn't fight, but instead chatted and laughed in harmony, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he grew even fonder of Little Angel Mahiru.
He would definitely cherish a woman who could be so tolerant of his philandering.
Of course, Little Shiina was the same.
He would never abandon the old for the new.
All his Dependents were his wings, and every feather was the most precious.
