'The chat group was already getting lively?'
Kaito looked at Akina speechlessly, then quietly opened the chat group in his mind.
He hadn't been online for half a day, so he really didn't know what was going on in the chat group now.
He scrolled through the chat logs...
Old folks, phones, subway.
Wow, it was indeed a heated discussion!
And they were all discussing Kaito and the new member without exception.
'Was I really like that!?'
'If it was someone I didn't like, I wouldn't even make a move, okay!!'
'Like...'
'What was it again?'
'For example, Big Mom from One Piece.'
'Or Nendou's mother from Saiki K.'
'Or a certain mother from Sakamoto Desu ga?.'
He would run away from those!
Also, Hayase Kinue from Masamune-kun's Revenge wasn't suitable either; that was definitely a "three years minimum" situation...
So, the reason the male protagonist's father from that anime never appeared was clear, right?
Understand? It's dangerous.
Although Kaito wanted to try, he would at least do it in private.
However...
He was too embarrassed to join their conversation now.
If he did, it would only add fuel to the fire, so he decided to lurk.
He silently noted Misuzu, Shodai, Mika, and Sayuri, who were the most active.
Next time, he would make them take not only math and physics tests but also ancient poetry exams!
Well, at least some people were defending him.
Sephie and Irisviel were on his side. Kie was too shy and had left early. Whether she was lurking or resting now was unknown.
"Cough, let's put that aside. Let's all go inside. Don't stay out here, you might catch a cold."
"With how you're saying it, if it were the old me, I might buy it, but now... are you actually concerned or just changing the subject?"
"What are you talking about? I am concerned."
"Heh."
Akina let out a couple of "hehs" in Yunyun's style.
Still...
Whether genuine or not, the sentiment was still appreciated.
With that, Akina dropped the topic of the new member. They went inside, changed in their respective bathrooms, and then gathered in the living room to chat.
Some played games, some discussed.
There were all sorts of topics among the women, but eventually, they settled on one: going to buy Hanfu together tomorrow!
"Alright, alright, I get it. I'll go rent a car now."
One car obviously wouldn't be enough, but they all wanted to be in one vehicle, so Kaito decided to rent one.
With no choice, Kaito opened a car rental app to pick a suitable minibus or something.
But after looking around, besides not finding a vehicle he liked, he also felt a bit uncomfortable with the cleanliness factor. In the end, he decided to buy one.
It wasn't too late, so Kaito went out under the pretext of buying a car. Once outside, he used magic to become invisible, quickly reached the vehicle market, browsed briefly, and bought a luxury Mercedes-Benz minibus-style RV. It cost over six million.
Though the vehicle had been pre-ordered six months ago with the most luxurious configuration, with hypnotic magic, it became Kaito's.
But Kaito didn't cheat; he still paid.
As for the license plate, he expedited a temporary one for extra money and drove the car back that night.
This vehicle could comfortably accommodate about ten people for rest.
After all, it was an RV.
"I'm back, and I brought the car. Do you want to see it?"
"Of course!"
Yunyun excitedly led everyone to see the luxury RV. Kaito gave them the keys and returned to the living room to drink tea.
'Ah, so comfortable.'
'The tea was cold, though.'
After a while, Yunyun and the others returned satisfied and asked how he bought it. Kaito said someone had pre-ordered it but hadn't paid for a month, so he sniped it.
Actually, it was due for delivery in three days, but Kaito sniped it anyway.
Well, they could only blame his luck for finding the car he wanted, and the other person's bad luck for losing the car they'd waited six months for.
Late at night, everyone went to their rooms.
Kaito was again accompanied by his clingy little darling, Hisui. But tonight, there was an extra person: Ai.
One small and one slightly bigger loli slept on either side of him, holding him tightly. Kaito closed his eyes and waited until midnight.
——Ding
[Oosuki Mamako has joined the chat group]
[Misuzu]: Ding ding ding, a new member!
[Shodai]: Good, good, the name suggests another lady. Otherwise, who knows if the chat group had a problem.
[Misuzu]: What are you thinking? Kaito was a complete accident. It was normal with Mrs. Sawamura, and it will be normal from now on.
But what Shodai said wasn't wrong. Good thing there was no error. If another guy joined, it would be really awkward.
After all, the chat group didn't have a kick function.
[Mika]: Alright, alright, instead of this, let's welcome the new member.
[Irisviel]: Welcome, new member~
[Akina]: Good evening, Mrs. Oosuki? If you're feeling confused, you can click the button in the top right corner of the chat group interface, either in your mind or on your phone. There's an announcement about the chat group there.
As usual, Akina was guiding the new member.
She did the same when Kaito and Sayuri joined.
[Kie]: Hehe, welcome, new member~
[Sephie]: Oh my, Mrs. Kamado, not asleep yet? That's rare!
[Tearju]: Yes! This is the first time I've seen Mrs. Kamado talking at this hour!
[Kie]: Hehe... the inn's just been a bit busy tonight, that's all.
Whether it was really just being busy, only Kie knew.
But it was clear that the evening's conversation had piqued her interest.
A guy would be awkward.
But a woman...
New member, danger—
