Chapter 250

For a long time after Ren Amamiya's voice fell, the hot spring remained in a quiet state.

The person involved looked at everyone who wasn't speaking, blinking his eyes, but he only had clear incomprehension.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, there's nothing wrong."

Nagi Sanzenin hurriedly stopped Ren from continuing to think about it. She gently patted her own cheeks; perhaps it was because the hot spring was too hot, she only felt her face was a bit hot now.

Does this person completely not know that what he just said sounds a bit like a confession?

Thinking about this person's past situation, Nagi Sanzenin sighed in her heart.

Ah, this person probably really doesn't know what kind of feeling those words he just said give people. Mm, this person is probably just talking about liking us characters in the story.

Her brain had already cleared up her thoughts, but even so, Nagi Sanzenin still felt her face was a bit hot.

The feeling of being suddenly praised is really strange.

Especially since this person created an atmosphere similar to a confession, no matter which girl it was, they would have the feeling of being confessed to.

Nagi Sanzenin glanced at everyone present, mm, almost no one was an exception.

But this also made Nagi Sanzenin roughly notice a problem.

Mm, it seems that Maria, Isumi, and Sakuya all have a good impression of Ren.

Only girls who are confessed to by boys they have a good impression of will have that kind of emotionally excited state; only when excessive dopamine is secreted in the body will there be all kinds of emotions.

Just like Isumi, Nagi Sanzenin, at any rate, had never seen that guy Wataru Tachibana do anything to Isumi that would make Isumi secrete dopamine.

"Ren, besides us, are there any other people in our stories who are very popular and well-received?"

Nagi's question made Ren Amamiya think of quite a few people.

"There are indeed quite a few."

This sentence made the girls who were influenced by the previous words restrain their emotions, and the gossiping mentality reached a high point again.

"I know many people who are very popular. Among them, there are many popular people in Sonoko and Ran's story."

"For example, Yukiko Kudo, Eri Kisaki, Miwako Sato, Vermouth, Akemi Miyano, and Shiho Miyano."

Hearing these names, Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri were stunned.

Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but ask:

"Ren, why are Aunt Yukiko and Aunt Eri among these people?"

These two are truly standard aunts; at the age of 37, they can definitely be called aunts.

Why is their popularity so high?

"This... how should I put it, I think the reason why those two are popular is most likely because they look very young, mature, intellectual, outstanding in appearance, and have good figures in the story; it's hard for anyone not to like them."

Although it was a bit awkward, Ren Amamiya still said it truthfully.

"Plus, the expressiveness of characters in the story is not like in reality; the story still has filters. So, the traces on their faces in the story are almost equivalent to non-existent. On this point, the gap between the story and reality is still very obvious."

Filters, anime and reality naturally have a very thick filter; with such a filter, naturally, many people like the wives who look very young in the story.

"Filters, that's true."

Sonoko Suzuki nodded slightly; she quite agreed with the word 'filter'. After all, a story is a story, and reality is reality; the two cannot be confused.

"I have also seen Aunt Yukiko. She has always done a good job of maintenance, but you can still see some sagging on her skin."

"Mm. Although it's not very good to talk about people behind their backs, Aunt Yukiko's skin has indeed sagged quite a bit."

Ran Mouri also couldn't help but agree; she had seen Aunt Yukiko more times and more recently than Sonoko, so naturally, she could see that there were still some traces of time on Aunt Yukiko.

"And Mom too. Because of work, Mom often stays up late working overtime to organize materials and check various files. This has caused Mom to have heavy bags under her eyes, and there are some crow's feet at the corners of her eyes."

"Also, the irregularity in life; actually, when I moved to Mom's house, I discovered that Mom has a little belly."

Age and work problems have led to the manifestation of traces of time on Mom.

Ran Mouri was very certain that there was a significant gap between Mom now and Mom ten years ago. Although she was still as charming, she definitely couldn't be compared with young girls.

A middle-aged woman, Eri Kisaki, is still a strong woman who constantly works hard at her post, so naturally, her maintenance of her physical state seems a bit worse, which is actually quite normal.

A lawyer's job is not an easy job.

For someone who has been working on the front line as a lawyer, Eri Kisaki's management of her figure is definitely worse.

Just having some traces of staying up late and a little belly from an irregular life is already considered a very mild symptom.

Ren Amamiya thought this was the normal situation; there are many people who are naturally beautiful, but those who can continue to maintain it under the erosion of time are ultimately in the minority.

"Miwako Sato, she is the policewoman we met on Moon Shadow Island."

Reminded by Ren Amamiya, the girls present all remembered the policewoman who came to protect them.

Just in terms of appearance and figure, they recalled that the policewoman indeed had quite high quality.

"Akemi Miyano and Shiho Miyano are sisters. Ran, remember what I said, your screen time in the story was reduced because another person came online. That person is Shiho Miyano, who took the same medicine as Kudo."

"Her sister has long black hair, and as for her... actually, she is very similar to Sonoko, who took off her headband and curled her hair into a wavy hairstyle."

"Eh?"

While Sonoko Suzuki was surprised, all the girls also focused their attention on her, imagining her hair as a wavy hairstyle in their minds, and then they couldn't help but nod involuntarily.

They could roughly understand the level of that Shiho Miyano.

"And then, Shiho Miyano's personality is quite different from Sonoko's; it's more like Hayasaka during work. There are fewer emotions on her face; besides, she is a very young scientist, inheriting genes from her parents. The medicine that made Kudo shrink was developed by her based on the medicine developed by her parents."

Through Ren's supplement, the girls present also had a more complete understanding of Shiho Miyano.

A genius girl, after all.

However, most of the girls present didn't care much about the title of genius girl.

Because they were too.
