Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath and said seriously:
"It is quite unexpected. Although it might be rude, I still want to say that your parents are either blind or mentally ill to dislike someone like you. It's truly outrageous."
"Right? Right? You also think it's outrageous, don't you?"
Shiina Mahiru's eyes lit up, and she completely opened up.
Then, Yukino Yukinoshita learned the full story of Shiina Mahiru.
By this point, she also understood why Shiina Mahiru would say, "I only have him."
Compared to Shiina Mahiru, she was simply too fortunate.
Her mother, Mrs. Yukino, although strict and controlling, cared for her, and her father doted on her.
Her elder sister also took good care of her.
And that bad guy, he liked her too.
But Shiina Mahiru only had that one bad guy.
Because of this, Yukino Yukinoshita felt that if she were Shiina Mahiru, she would definitely be devoted to him as well.
Looking at the smiling, gentle-eyed Shiina Mahiru, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Student Shiina, how do you want me to help you?"
Yukino finally showed her attitude, indicating her willingness to help.
Shiina Mahiru held her small hand and said softly, "It's simple, just take good care of Mu-kun with me. Miss Yuki no Shita, let's get along well from now on."
"Okay." 977
It's best not to argue. Yukino Yukinoshita also didn't want to confront such a gentle person.
Being able to get along harmoniously, that's a win-win.
Then, Shiina Mahiru and Yukino Yukinoshita exchanged contact information.
The two chatted happily.
Among the topics, the one about Lin Mu made Yukino Yukinoshita extremely embarrassed.
Both girls began to complain about Lin Mu's inhuman stamina.
Until they parted ways, Yukino Yukinoshita still felt a lingering sense of enjoyment.
Looking at her phone's contact list, her mood was incredibly joyful.
Did she finally have a female friend?
But thinking that this good friend was acquired because of that big bad guy, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but feel resentful again.
That bad guy who attracts everyone.
...
With a pleasant mood, Shiina Mahiru bid farewell to Yukino Yukinoshita.
After spending time together, she found that Yukino Yukinoshita was not as cold as rumored; instead, she was a bit clumsy and cute.
Although she was sometimes too direct in her speech, what she said was very accurate, hitting the nail on the head.
Perhaps, this family will be more harmonious in the future.
She liked a warm family, not various battlefields of jealousy.
After experiencing being completely abandoned by her parents, Shiina Mahiru had come to terms with it.
From now on, she would only live for the important people and only show gentleness to the important people.
The big cleanup was over, and a consensus had been reached with Yukino Yukinoshita. Next, she planned to work part-time at Yoko's convenience store and then buy some good things to replenish Mu-kun.
This idiot, even if he likes that kind of thing, he should exercise some restraint. His body is the most important.
Yukino Yukinoshita lived too far to manage him, but she couldn't ignore him. Hmm, she hadn't forgotten her plan to turn Lin Mu into a good-for-nothing and a big fat man.
Just as she was about to leave, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"You're Shiina Mahiru, right? Can we talk?"
Shiina Mahiru turned around in confusion, finding a girl with flaxen hair tied in twin pigtails, wearing the St. White Emperor Academy's second-year uniform.
"Um, Senpai, may I ask who you are?"
"Excuse me, I'm Shiina Shinatsu. I don't know if you've heard of me?"
Shiina Mahiru's smile froze.
Shiina Shinatsu, she knew, was one of the illegitimate daughters of her father, Shiina Asahi, as Auntie Xiaoxue had said.
"Auntie Xiaoxue told me about you, so... Fuka-senpai, what do you want?"
Shiina Shinatsu took a deep breath and said seriously, "Let's go sit at the coffee shop over there. I have something very important to tell you."
"Alright."
Although Shiina Mahiru didn't want to face this person, she still decided to listen to her.
Of course, if this person wanted to bully or attack her, she wouldn't compromise.
However, she was overthinking it.
Shiina Shinatsu was not the kind of woman who would bully her younger sister.
Arriving at the coffee shop, they ordered two coffees and some newly released pudding. Both girls felt very complicated.
Organizing her words, Shiina Shinatsu glanced at Mahiru and slowly began to speak.
"Mahiru, I'm a year older than you, so I'm your sister, your half-sister."
"Hmm, and then?" Shiina Mahiru listened intently; as for politeness, Little Angel Mahiru was impeccable (bdab).
Shiina Shinatsu gave a bitter smile and said earnestly.
"My sister Mafuyu and I just moved into that house. We're living in the guest room. Your room, and the photos and items inside, we haven't touched any of them."
"Mahiru, how about you come back and live there?"
Shiina Mahiru looked at her in surprise, "Sister Fuka, you're inviting me, does that person know?"
Shiina Shinatsu said stubbornly, "I haven't told him yet, but he will agree. Moreover, that house was originally yours. My sister and I are just outsiders. Because we kicked you out, this doesn't seem like something a father would do."
"Mafuyu and I never met our father when we were little, so we got used to being called children without a father."
"We also used to wonder what kind of person our father would be. Recently, our dream came true."
"Yes, he is indeed very good to us. He brought us and Mom to live with him, and Mom doesn't have to work hard anymore."
"But... I can't accept a father who kicks out his own biological daughter to take us in."
Listening to Shiina Shinatsu's heartfelt words, Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but sigh, then smiled.
"Sister Fuka, thank you for telling me all this, but I don't plan to go back anymore. You can live in that room. There's nothing in there worth my attachment..."
"Oh, right, there's an album in the cabinet. Those are photos Auntie Xiaoxue took of me when I was little. I hope you can bring it to me when you have time."
At this point, Shiina Mahiru blushed a little, after all, she had just said there was nothing to be attached to, and now she was contradicting herself.
Shiina Shinatsu quickly nodded, then held her small hand.
"Of course, that's no problem, but are you really not coming back? Mafuyu and I are not the kind of people who usurp others' homes, and we don't want to cause you, our sister, to be homeless because of us."
"That person is truly too much. I really can't accept such a person as my father, but he is indeed good to Mafuyu and me, so I have no reason to scold him."
Shiina Mahiru smiled and shook her head, "I'm not going back, Sister Fuka. I already have my own home, so I don't care about what those two think anymore, after all, my guardian is Auntie Xiaoxue."
"You two just get along well. Don't let there be any estrangement because of me."
Seeing her firm gaze, Shiina Shinatsu knew that Mahiru would never come back no matter what, and she felt even more guilty.
She felt that her family had deeply hurt Mahiru and owed her something.
However, Shiina Mahiru felt that they didn't need to pay for Shiina Asahi's mistakes.
Not acknowledging her as his daughter was his loss, and she, Shiina Mahiru, would live even better.
Moreover, as long as she was happy, then whatever happened to those people didn't matter anymore.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Mahiru, Shiina Shinatsu had no choice but to exchange contact information with her and earnestly promised, "If you need any help, please be sure to tell me. No matter what happens, I am your sister, and Mafuyu is also your sister, even if you might not want to acknowledge me..."
"Hmm, I understand. Thank you, Sister Fuka."
The two parted ways.
Shiina Shinatsu looked at Mahiru's back, feeling increasingly annoyed.
Was her father out of his mind?
He didn't even like such a good daughter?
She herself cherished such a good sister immensely.
