Shinra didn't refuse.
Of course, he didn't agree imdiately either.
It wasn't that he wanted to keep himself pure or anything. LOL, if he had that kind of integrity, he wouldn't have provoked the Yukinoshita sisters, Sakurajima Mai, Miura Yumiko, and Kawasaki Saki.
Saying he coveted wish-power points was true, but not only wish-power points; he wanted to eat both the person and the wish-power. It could be said that there was no guy greedier than him in the world.
He even wanted to pocket the Earth.
But as of now, Shinra's plan to dominate everything was still in the conceptual stage. With his current magnetic field strength, he could probably only deal with ordinary people. Facing thermal weapons, he still had to be cowardly. After all, his control over electricity was not enough to support a force field strong enough to resist bullet impacts.
Mm, not even the smallest caliber.
Of course, within the range of small-caliber weapons, Shinra was confident he could prevent the opponent from firing.
Back to the topic, the reason Shinra didn't agree to Inner Futaba's invitation imdiately was that he was worried that after going to Futaba's house, he would find Surface Futaba instead of Inner Futaba.
Therefore, he had to determine the specific situation of both Surface and Inner Futaba before taking the next step. What he needed to do now was to stabilize Inner Futaba while investigating Surface Futaba.
So the question was, how to find Surface Futaba?
How about... ask Mai?
Do it as soon as said.
Shinra was a man of action. He directly made a video call to Sakurajima Mai.
Before long, the video connection was established, and the familiar pretty face appeared on the screen. Looking at the background behind Mai, she should have finished shooting the comrcial and returned to the hotel to rest. Judging by visual estimation, she probably just returned to the hotel not long ago, and hadn't even removed her makeup.
"You want to ask about Futaba, right?" Sakurajima Mai held the phone, knowing his purpose without him speaking.
After all, Adolescence Syndro was a supernatural event; it was normal to pay attention to it. However, understanding aside, seeing Shinra so actively looking for Futaba Rio, Sakurajima Mai, as his girlfriend, was still a bit jealous.
"The first video call of this month was actually made because of another woman." Sakurajima Mai sighed.
"If I rember correctly, today is only the first day of this month." Shinra retorted. And it's not like we didn't call yesterday.
"Just say if it's the first video call of this month." Having stayed with Shinra for a long ti, Sakurajima Mai had also learned so sneaky journalism tricks under his influence.
"As long as there are enough qualifiers, right?"
"Tell your thoughts. Since you called , Shinra, it ans you already have a clue about Rio's matter?" Sakurajima Mai knew Shinra wouldn't do aningless things.
"Pretty much. I'm here to ask you for Futaba's ho address."
"...Night raid?"
Sakurajima Mai looked at the ti. Mm, 8 PM, perfect for a night raid.
"That's a cri, right?" Shinra was a bit speechless.
"So your purpose of asking for Rio's address is..."
"Stakeout."
"Isn't this also a cri?"
"Is that the sa?"
One is trespassing, the other is invasion of privacy.
The forr is a criminal offense, while the latter is a civil offense. Although both are cris, the forr is obviously more serious. The latter won't have any legal issues as long as the person involved doesn't pursue it.
As for whether the person involved would pursue it, Shinra thought of the photos saved on his phone. Surface Futaba was hard to say, but Inner Futaba definitely wouldn't pursue it.
Even if Shinra conducted a night raid, he felt Inner Futaba would accept it happily.
Simply ridiculous.
Mai didn't know her head was a bit green (referring to being cheated on) and continued to help Shinra plan: "If you have that free ti, why not just ask her out directly through chat software?"
Actually, already asked, just didn't agree temporarily.
Normally, Mai's thod was indeed correct, but the problem was he couldn't determine if the person on the other end of the phone was the one he wanted to et.
After telling Sakurajima Mai this idea, she pondered for a mont and quickly thought of an idea.
"In that case, wouldn't it be fine to make a video call like us? If the personality difference between the two Rios is really as big as you said, it should be easy to tell, right?" Sakurajima Mai said.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Shinra had been waiting for Sakurajima Mai to say this.
"Why don't you call?"
Sakurajima Mai was a bit strange. She didn't believe Shinra couldn't think of such a simple thod.
"Miss Mai's aning is to suggest I bypass my cute girlfriend and make a video call to another mber of the opposite sex, right?"
Actually worried that with one video call, the other party would perform a changing clothes play live for him. In that case, Shinra really couldn't say if he could hold back.
"But don't you feel it's even more wrong to let your beautiful, cute, smart, and generous girlfriend call another mber of the opposite sex to ask her out for you?"
"Doesn't this show you are 'generous'?"
Sakurajima Mai rolled her eyes beautifully upon hearing this but eventually accepted this errand.
She didn't think Shinra would be this honest. If he were really this honest, why hadn't he ntioned the two beautiful sisters upstairs since they started dating?
When they t at the supermarket entrance before, although the Yukinoshita sisters didn't see her due to Adolescence Syndro, she rembered them. Woman's intuition told her there must be sothing fishy.
It was just that if Shinra didn't say it voluntarily, she wouldn't ask voluntarily.
She wanted to see how long this guy Shinra could hold it in.
Finally, with Sakurajima Mai's help, Shinra successfully contacted Surface Futaba and agreed to et at Mai's house after school the day after tomorrow.
The reason for choosing to et at Mai's house was partly because Shinra had the key to Mai's house, and partly because both parties knew the way to Mai's house.
In addition, Mai also told Shinra Futaba Rio's ho address.
But even if Mai didn't say it, Shinra had ways to get the other party's ho address without going through Inner Futaba.
Didn't he set up a scholarship for Mai before? Although Futaba Rio didn't lack that little money, she participated for Mai's sake.
When applying for the scholarship, filling in the ho address was required. As the actual fund provider of the scholarship, Shinra naturally had the authority to access this part of the information.
After arranging everything, Shinra chatted with Sakurajima Mai for a few more sentences, then closed the video call, took a shower, and went to sleep.
After all, tomorrow was Sunday, and he had an appointnt with Haruno to visit the Yukinoshita family.
...
The sun was high in the sky. Shinra slept in rarely.
Facts proved that even if his physique was good enough not to sleep for two or three days without any problem, sleeping in could still make people feel happy.
Waking up and washing up, Shinra picked up his phone and saw the ssages Haruno sent early in the morning.
She sent more than a dozen ssages in a row. The first few were relatively dense. Later, realizing Shinra was still sleeping, she sent a ssage every once in a while, trying to determine if he had woken up through this thod.
Just after the ssages changed from unread to read, Shinra received another ssage from her.
Haruno: [Awake?]
Haruno: [Big lazy pig emoji.jpg]
Shinra glanced at it, didn't type a reply, threw the phone aside, changed clothes slowly, and planned to go to the convenience store downstairs to buy breakfast... okay, it should be lunch now.
Just as he walked to the entryway, he heard a knock on the door.
Who is knocking on the door at noon? So hard to guess.
Shinra was a bit speechless. Isn't it in the afternoon? Is it necessary to be so anxious? He won't run away.
Opening the door, sure enough, it was Haruno.
"Reading but not replying is not a good habit!"
The first sentence upon eting, Haruno started to question him, condemning Shinra's evil deed of reading but not replying.
To this, Shinra replied unhurriedly: "Not not replying. Reply, definitely will reply. But slow reply, delayed reply, gradually reply, also flexible reply, even more strategic reply."
What is this guy saying?
Haruno was confused by Shinra's long and difficult sentence. She lifted the bag in her hand, signaling Shinra to let her in.
"Here, this is the breakfast prepared for you. Now it has beco lunch. Do you have a microwave at ho? I'll go heat it up for you."
"So nice?"
"You are our family's most distinguished guest; naturally, the service must be in place. Besides, I'm still counting on you to put in a good word for with my mother. Maybe I can move out and live alone like Yukino-chan too?"
Haruno said half-jokingly.
Shinra stepped aside and let Haruno into the house. Since she brought breakfast, it saved him from going downstairs to buy it.
Watching Haruno walk to the kitchen familiarly to use the microwave as if returning to her own ho, while Shinra, the host, sat down at a nearby spot by the dining table unceremoniously like a lord.
"If you want to move out and live alone, it should be very easy, right?"
Although Yukinoshita Mother's managent was strict, if it was Haruno, Shinra didn't believe she had no way to move out and live alone.
"Easy? Maybe." Haruno answered noncommittally.
Moving out physically was easy for her, but that was all.
So things couldn't be shaken off just by moving out.
Haruno obviously didn't want to dwell on this topic for too long. She quickly changed the subject: "Originally, I planned to take you out for a haircut in the morning and buy a few clothes by the way. Now there probably isn't enough ti."
Haircut?
Shinra touched his hair. Not long; he just had a haircut not long ago.
As for clothes, ever since Shinra started taking over family affairs, he had never lacked them. Basically, every season, the clothing brands under the family would send newly launched trendy styles. Most of them would only gather dust in the wardrobe in the end.
"Clothes or whatever, I think are not needed."
While the microwave was still working, Shinra took Haruno to the walk-in closet.
It was piled with all kinds of luxury clothes, and most of them were brand new.
Even Haruno, a rich girl, couldn't help but twitch her eyelids upon seeing this.
The clothes in this walk-in closet were more than the clothes in her room.
And almost all were custom-made. One piece could equal several pieces she was wearing now.
It could only be said that there were gaps between families.
Fortunately, Haruno knew Shinra's family background long ago, so she didn't have thoughts like there was a thick barrier between them. Instead, she showed an excited look, seemingly planning to have a Shinra version of Miracle Nikki (dress-up ga).
After all, with so many clothes, it would be a pity not to wear them.
As for why not help Shinra match them, it was because these custom-made clothes were usually in sets, so there was no need to consider matching issues.
Can you be more professional than the designers?
Unlike those sensationalist fashion designers on the market, the designers providing custom services for Shinra were all genuine masters in the clothing field, with real skills.
They might be perfunctory with ordinary custors, but if they dared to be slightly negligent with chaebol children like Shinra, they would just wait to be set up by capital.
Hayek is too great.
Simply put, Haruno just purely wanted to see a youthful high school boy change clothes.
Shinra felt Haruno couldn't ss with him just because he was in Japan.
It has always been him watching others change clothes; there has never been a reason for others to watch him change clothes!
Therefore, Shinra rejected Haruno's proposal crisply and planned to drag her out of his walk-in closet directly.
"Stop stop stop, won't make you change outfits. I'll just pick one, pick one, okay?" Haruno held up a finger and bargained.
"Then you pick slowly here." Seeing this, Shinra ignored her and turned to the kitchen to eat breakfast.
Wait until Shinra finished eating, Haruno had almost finished picking clothes.
"Quick, put it on and try." Haruno signaled Shinra to put on the clothes quickly to see the effect.
This was what she picked out after a long ti, the clothes that best fit her aesthetics.
Shinra would definitely look good wearing them!
Unexpectedly, Shinra just glanced at the clothes in Haruno's hand, then casually took another set of clothes from the wardrobe and walked towards the room.
"Eh, what are you doing!"
"As you see, changing clothes."
"Why not wear this one of mine?"
"Didn't you say let you pick?"
Shinra laughed briefly, starting with a classic inequality.
"You picking doesn't equal wearing."
Fallacy instant kill!
Haruno felt her fist hardening. After taking a few deep breaths, she comforted herself: Today he is a guest. I picked it myself. Not angry, NOT angry.
SO angry!
Growing up so big, no one really dared to play her like this.
It was her first ti seeing soone as mischievous as Shinra growing up.
Especially after seeing Shinra's half-smiling eyes, Haruno felt a string in her mind snap.
Clenching her fist, she planned to force Shinra to put on the clothes...
