Chapter 730

She said she was about to get up.

"I'll pour you a drink."

"Thank you, Ruri-chan." Akita Sana smiled, then walked quickly to the small table, skillfully unpacked the dessert bag Natsume Chikage had just put down, took out an exquisitely shaped pastry, and handed it to Natsume Ruri.

"Ruri-chan, this is delicious, it's a limited edition! You should taste it quickly!"

"Mm-hmm, thank you, Akita-nee."

After Natsume Ruri poured her a drink, she took the pastry and looked at it carefully.

She remembered that the price of this brand of dessert was not cheap, especially the limited edition, which was even more expensive.

She didn't expect that this Akita-nee would give such a precious gift on her first visit.

Natsume Ruri's eyes narrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.

A small alarm bell rang in her heart.

There's no reason to visit without a purpose.

This Akita-nee, I'm afraid, like Fujiwara-nee and the others, all held some "special thoughts" about her brother.

Thinking of this, Natsume Ruri subconsciously glanced at Natsume Chikage beside her.

She saw her brother squatting in front of the small TV, fully focused on dismantling the PS5 packaging, connecting various cables, his expression focused as if he were doing some precise experiment.

Witnessing this scene, Natsume Ruri couldn't help but shake her head helplessly and smile gently.

This brother of hers is still that child who hasn't grown up; he's so invested as soon as he sees games, he's really hopeless...

But thinking about it again, her brother originally liked playing games, it's just that he had been forced by life pressure recently and hadn't touched them for a long time.

It's rare for Akita-nee to bring them today, so it's only human nature for him to be unable to suppress his excitement.

Natsume Ruri didn't intend to stop him.

After all, if you let someone keep doing things they don't like or are forced to give up their hobbies, after a long time, their mood will definitely get worse, and it might even lead to depression or collapse.

So, letting her brother do something he likes appropriately and relax a bit is really quite good.

Just as Natsume Chikage was burying his head in installing the game console, the two girls had already started chatting naturally.

Akita Sana asked curiously:

"By the way, Ruri-chan, which school are you in?"

Natsume Ruri swallowed the sweet pastry in her mouth and explained:

"I'm in Sacred Heart Middle School, why, Akita-nee?"

Akita Sana, hearing this, immediately had a look of surprise on her face.

"Ah? You're actually in Sacred Heart Middle School?"

"What a coincidence! Not long from now, our school's orchestra club is planning to hold a public performance at your school!"

Natsume Ruri blinked in surprise.

"Eh... your school is coming to our school for a performance?"

"Now that you mention it... I really remember the teacher in class mentioning that next Wednesday there seem to be clubs from other schools coming over to perform or something."

"So Akita-nee and brother's school is one of them."

Akita Sana giggled, her small tiger teeth appearing and disappearing at the edge of her lips, looking exceptionally playful.

"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence either."

"Miki is also in the orchestra club, she called me to go together at that time before, and I was thinking it was too much trouble to run so far."

"But if you are there too, then it's different!"

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what you look like when you wear the Sacred Heart Middle School uniform, Ruri-chan!"

Natsume Chikage actually heard the conversation between the two at this time.

He originally wanted to say that he would also go at that time, but swallowed the words that reached his mouth.

Thinking about it, he decided to say it when the time came, perhaps it could give his sister a surprise.

Because the installation of the PS5 itself was not complicated, and most rental apartments now came with internet.

Natsume Chikage quickly finished the console installation and network connection problems.

"Okay, it's installed."

He clapped his hands and stood up.

Akita Sana, seeing this, immediately happily gathered around the game discs she brought, displaying them one by one like showing treasures.

"Look, here are 'It Takes Two', 'Double Shadow Mirror', 'Street Emperor', 'Fist Overlord', 'Overcooked', 'Rio Racing', 'Linda Legend'... which one do you want to play first?"

Natsume Chikage looked at the dazzling array of game boxes on the ground and was between laughter and tears.

"I'm fine with anything, see what you want to play."

Natsume Ruri knew that playing games together could actually test a person's personality and temper to some extent, and wanted to see what Akita-nee's situation was.

She had a kind smile on her face and suggested:

"Akita-nee, can I play together too?"

Akita Sana was just hoping for it and nodded excitedly.

"Of course you can!"

"Rather, I was planning to invite you to play together, Ruri-chan!"

Natsume Chikage sat down by the small table and said to the two:

"Then you two play first. Yukimura-san and the others will probably be here soon, I might have to go down to pick them up."

Akita Sana responded happily:

"Mm-hmm! No problem!"

She turned to look at Natsume Ruri and recommended enthusiastically.

"Then Ruri-chan, let's play this newly released 'Double Shadow Mirror' first! I haven't played it yet, just right to explore with you!"

Natsume Ruri was also infected by her enthusiasm and nodded happily.

"Okay, Akita-nee!"

As she spoke, the two picked up the controllers, sat side by side in front of the TV, and started the game.

Natsume Chikage watched from the side.

The setting of this "Double Shadow Mirror" looked quite interesting.

The story background is set in a future world where a "story machine" has been invented, which can directly extract the imagination and stories from the human brain and make them into games or movies to sell.

The two heroines enter the story machine that should only be entered by one person by mistake, triggering a system BUG.

Causing the game scene to switch crazily between the two heroines' completely different brain worlds—"Sci-Fi City" and "Western Fantasy Continent."

And the official operating the "story machine," because they are worried about the BUG exposing their illegal plagiarism of others' creative ideas, can only constantly set obstacles in the game, trying to prevent the two heroines from discovering the truth...

The beginning is roughly such a process full of imagination.

Natsume Chikage looked at Akita Sana's operation.

Her technique is skillful, her positioning is precise, her reaction is fast, and there are almost no low-level operational errors, looking like an experienced game master.

In contrast, his sister, who has excellent academic grades and outstanding painting talent, seems a bit "clumsy" in the game field.

When she plays, her body will unconsciously tilt left and right with the shaking of the controller, and she will be startled when encountering thrilling scenes.

When the character accidentally dies, she will let out an annoyed light cry.

When encountering some levels that she can't pass no matter what, she can only turn her head pitifully in the end and look at him for help with those watery big eyes...

The whole process looks both clumsy and cute, full of fun.

And just as the two girls were chattering and focused on the game world in front of them—

At the door, the crisp doorbell rang again.

Natsume Chikage got up, walked to the door, and pulled the door open.

Outside the door stood the three girls from the Collection Department—Yukimura Suzune, Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui, and Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai.

The three of them were wearing casual clothes today, each with their own merits, and were also very good-looking.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui was wearing a black slim-fit short-sleeved T-shirt full of energy, paired with neat knee-length denim shorts on the lower body, carrying a cute small bag, outlining her healthy and vibrant beautiful figure.

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai chose a beige floral long dress that reached her ankles, the hem of the skirt swaying gently with her movements, and she was casually carrying a large khaki canvas bag on her right shoulder, looking fresh and gentle.

Yukimura Suzune still maintained a cold style, wearing a simple solid-colored short-sleeved shirt on her upper body, a plain pleated skirt that reached her knees on the lower body, and a leather bag with a simple design hanging on her shoulder.

The three of them were each carrying some things in their hands—obviously prepared ingredients and beautifully packaged desserts or snacks.

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai was the first to speak with a smile, her amethyst-like eyes curving into gentle arcs.

"Natsume-kun, good morning. We're here to disturb you."

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui raised the bag full of snacks in her hand, with a full-of-energy smile on her face. ===== CHAPTER 731 =====
