Chapter 532

Insufficient information,

unable to make a judgment.

But now, according to what the younger sister meant, she should have refused, yet in the end, she accepted.

And she does not remember this event.

Connecting the two, Fujibayashi Kyou had a guess: that refusing the invitation leads to memory loss.

In this way, everything is explained.

"Sister, don't you know the danger that comes with accepting the invitation?"

"If you don't pass, you will die, truly die, and I... will lose you, my closest sister. What do you want me to... do?"

At this moment, a mournful tone echoed.

Fujibayashi Kyou stared blankly at her younger sister in front of her.

So, her younger sister really, truly values and cherishes her, this sister of hers.

She hadn't pampered her sister for nothing all this time.

"It's okay, it's okay,"

Fujibayashi Kyou stood up and came before her sister, reaching out to pull her sister's small head against her own body, stroking it gently.

"How could this possibly be... okay! Sister, wuwuwu..."

Fujibayashi Ryou cried with a mournful voice, "Lin, Lin Jun will help sister. Sister must study hard, master it well, and... and not... target Lin Jun anymore."

Fujibayashi Kyou recalled that touch of gentleness from Lin Ye,

he was indeed concerned for her life, whether it was because of Ryou or other reasons, at the very least, he was truly concerned for her.

"Ryou..."

"Sister,"

"I'm really okay, I... refused the invitation."

"..."

Fujibayashi Ryou froze, her expression stunned and bewildered,

what was going on, how did her sister refuse the invitation?

"I actually don't have the memory of that experience, really, I'm not lying to you,"

"Then, then why did Lin Jun..."

How could Lin Ye not have been able to judge it?

This didn't make sense.

Fujibayashi Kyou quickly offered a guess, "Probably because when he heard I was going to fulfill the agreement by offering myself to sleep with him, he concluded that I hadn't lost my memory!"

She described the situation on the phone at the time, specifically emphasizing Lin Ye's intense, explosive anger.

Saying the harshest words, yet in the end, doing the gentlest things.

"Sister, that's too much, why did you deliberately hide it,"

Fujibayashi Ryou suddenly reacted, immediately reaching out to pinch her sister's waist hard, "Lin Jun was so concerned about you, worried about your situation, and you, you actually..."

"Sorry, I'm sorry."

Fujibayashi Kyou apologized.

Regarding this matter, she had indeed acted unfairly; it was wrong.

"The person you should apologize to isn't me, but Lin Jun. You must apologize to Lin Jun later, you must, otherwise I, I..."

Fujibayashi Ryou thought of many threats, but in the end, none were spoken aloud.

Threatening to sever their sisterly relationship seemed inappropriate to her.

"I will, don't you worry!"

Fujibayashi Kyou agreed,

with things having developed to this point, she no longer had any need to continue hiding it,

"Ryou, let me tell you the truth! I didn't tell him in time because I was worried he would renege and not accept my fulfillment of the agreement, so I didn't say anything, thinking I'd tell him after fulfilling it."

Fujibayashi Ryou didn't even know how to evaluate this.

From her sister's perspective, doing so was indeed correct, but from her own perspective, her sister had truly racked her brains to successfully fulfill the agreement.

But if her sister had really told him directly at the time, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to break through her relationship with Lin Jun, right?

Fujibayashi Ryou had a high level of self-awareness; her personality was soft and weak, lacking courage.

Previously, because of her good friend Nanase Koi's affection and ambiguity toward Lin Ye, she had expressed hesitation and doubt about her own feelings, not daring to move forward.

After realizing that Lin Ye was dating Hoshino Ai, she could even be said to have retreated; she had already planned to give up, preparing to watch Lin Ye silently until the moment everything ended.

But now it was different,

her relationship with Lin Ye had already undergone substantial development and change.

"Sister, you are not allowed to do such things in the future,"

Fujibayashi Ryou warned her sister Kyou.

"Mm,"

"And don't even think about offering yourself to repay the favor. As for this favor, I, as your younger sister, will repay it in your stead."

Uh,

In the past, she definitely would have refused—how could she let her younger sister repay it for her? She would rather sacrifice herself, but now the situation was different.

Her younger sister had already been eaten and wiped clean.

Things that should have happened, and things that shouldn't have, had all already happened; she really didn't need to worry anymore.

"I know,"

Fujibayashi Kyou agreed.

"Finally, tell Lin Jun to cancel the agreement between you two, so that Lin Jun can date me, instead of being unable to accept my confession and date me because of the agreement with you, sister."

Fujibayashi Kyou: "..."

She felt this was very likely an excuse of Lin Ye's, a reason to make her take the blame.

"I will tell him, but Ryou, you also know that there are many ambiguous girls around him. Not to mention your friend Nanase Koi, the girl he held hands with in Akihabara, Tokyo, and other girls at school..."

Fujibayashi Kyou thought of quite a few girls,

"Sister doesn't need to worry about those, I will handle them well."

Can you really just ignore them?

"Sister, I have grown up, I am an adult, I have a job, I can live independently."

The younger sister who used to follow behind her, the cute younger sister who was timidly afraid of the outside world, had now grown into an excellent adult woman.

She no longer needed her, this sister, to continue taking care of and worrying about her as she had in the past.

Even if she really needed someone, she was no longer the most suitable candidate; that would be a man who could accompany her younger sister toward a more distant future.

Unaccountably, Fujibayashi Kyou felt a touch of loneliness.

"Ryou has really grown up; you would never have said such things before."

Fujibayashi Ryou's face flushed slightly, "That's because you were always like that, sister, and I... I felt embarrassed to say it,"

She always felt that if she said it like that, it would make her sister sad, but now, the time to say it had come, and she shouldn't continue to hesitate.

"Sigh!"

Fujibayashi Kyou sighed lightly, "Good luck! Ryou, but if he bullies you or makes you unhappy, contact me, and I, your sister, will avenge you."

"Mm,"

Fujibayashi Ryou accepted this concern.

And now, Fujibayashi Ryou asked about the question she had asked her sister earlier, but which her sister hadn't answered.

"Sister, what exactly happened to you last night?"

"Ryou, don't ask about this question, I'm fine."

You were fine looking like that this morning?

Fujibayashi Ryou couldn't set her mind at ease, and Fujibayashi Kyou couldn't tell her younger sister that she had experienced the same thing as her last night.

And on the first floor,

facing the senior who was now alone, Isshiki Iroha suppressed the joy in her heart.

"Senior,"

she looked at Lin Ye,

"You wouldn't want the matter of you being intimate with other girls to be known by Yukinoshita-senpai, would you!"
