The group walked on the way to the small room arranged by Totsuka, and halfway, Totsuka and Rikka returned.
The first thing Totsuka did when she returned was to notice that Nibutani was not in the team. After hearing that Nibutani had gone to change clothes, she had a sinister smile on her face...
Using the excuse that "Christmas is only fun if we all play dress-up, death," she dragged Rikka, Koushou, and Ikenouchi Maki away, leaving only Fang Wuwei and the other boys.
Fang Wuwei could tell that this person was just going to cause trouble for Yuta, but he didn't want to get involved...
After an endlessly long corridor, now only Isshiki Makoto, Fang Wuwei, and Yuta were left, arriving at this small room.
Though called a small room, this place was surprisingly large, even the door was a double-leaf wooden door.
If you call this a large room... it is said that this room is not considered large in the Totsukami family.
But it scared Yuta and Isshiki Makoto silly; they had never seen such a large room in their lives. Their living room probably wasn't even half the size of this room!
The large door slowly opened, revealing a huge hall in front of Yuta and the two others. On one side of the room upon entering, there were several tables, all laden with decorations and exquisite Western food made from expensive ingredients, which looked delicious at first glance. It seemed this was the dinner party Totsuka's mother mentioned.
The other side was the entertainment area of the room, a perfect leisure zone with sofas, tables, chairs, game consoles, and everything else imaginable.
Around them, several servants were still setting up, slowly bringing in things like flowers, candles, and drinks. Totsuka's mother had given the highest command: to ensure these young ladies' friends received the highest level of treatment, no sloppiness allowed.
Now, it was nearing its end, and the servants inside also began to leave gradually. The young lady had given instructions that no one else should be present, so they naturally had to obey.
Yuta and Isshiki Makoto had already rushed in with excited faces, like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, looking left and right, completely without any image.
Thankfully, there was Fang Wuwei to hold the fort...
"So, guests, please enjoy yourselves."
"Alright, thank you."
Compared to Yuta and Isshiki Makoto, Fang Wuwei was much calmer. Facing the butler's polite farewell, Fang Wuwei also smiled and nodded gently in response.
Simple actions, yet a mark of maturity and upbringing.
The butler left, and the servants inside also pushed their carts and departed one after another, leaving only Fang Wuwei and the two others in the empty room.
Seeing that there were no more idle people, Isshiki Makoto and Yuta completely let loose, touching everything, left and right. Any novel item they hadn't seen before could cause them to exclaim.
"Speaking of which, she's too perfect... Even her mother is a beauty, and her family is so rich."
Isshiki Makoto walked forward, looking at the tables full of exquisite Western food and expensive dishes. He picked up chopsticks and took a piece of braised beef, which was so fragrant that his mouth was full of oil. He had never eaten anything so delicious, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Yuta was not as excited as Isshiki Makoto, but he wasn't much better off either.
Putting down his chopsticks, Isshiki Makoto saw the leisure area on the other side of the room and brought Yuta with him.
He casually picked up a remote control on the table and pressed it, and a projection screen slowly descended, causing Yuta and Isshiki Makoto to shout in surprise.
"It must be exciting to watch with this."
"...What are you saying?"
Isshiki Makoto's words were astonishing, shocking Yuta and Fang Wuwei, who were speechless.
There were many unknown remote controls on the table, and Yuta and Isshiki Makoto planned to try them all. No choice, they were too curious. They were really curious what other surprises the Totsukami family could give them...
"Alright, you two."
Just as Yuta and Isshiki Makoto were about to pick up various remote controls to try, Fang Wuwei timely stepped out to interrupt them. He really couldn't bear to watch anymore...
"Don't act like you've never seen the world, okay? Learn from me, be more mature~"
Yuta and Isshiki Makoto, who had initially felt a bit ashamed upon hearing Fang Wuwei's earlier words, instantly changed their expressions when they heard his next sentence.
You brat, you're talking nonsense.
But it must be said, it was indeed useful. Yuta and Isshiki Makoto did calm down a bit, but they planned to team up and give Fang Wuwei a beating; anyway, it wouldn't hurt.
But before the two could lay hands on Fang Wuwei, they heard the sound of the room's large door being opened. The three looked over, and in an instant, Isshiki Makoto's blood surged, his face turned red, and steam rose from his head.
Koushou was standing outside the door, pushing it open. She was wearing a female Santa Claus outfit that exposed her thighs and arms, carrying a small white bag behind her, and wearing a cute Christmas hat on her head. At this moment, she was winking playfully at everyone.
"Merry Christmas!"
Isshiki Makoto was so excited that his snot and tears flowed together, scaring Yuta and Fang Wuwei next to him, who stood rooted to the spot... Don't misunderstand, they weren't scared by Koushou, but by Isshiki Makoto. He was like the Juggernaut, anyone who saw him would know.
"Yuta..."
"Hmm?"
Isshiki Makoto suddenly became serious, speaking to his good friend Yuta in a solemn tone.
"In one's decades of life, there will always be a day when something happens that makes you feel... this life was worth it!!!"
Isshiki Makoto's tears and snot streamed down his face. He was now, without regrets...
"That exaggerated?"
"Your life is too cheap, isn't it?"
Yuta and Fang Wuwei casually retorted, their faces full of speechlessness.
Before Isshiki Makoto could take a closer look, Koushou spotted the small sofa in the room and ran over without a second thought. She didn't even eat dinner; she threw her small bag down and lay on the sofa.
"Soft sofa... Good night..."
She fell asleep in one second. Yuta and Fang Wuwei, who had followed, hadn't said anything yet, but Isshiki Makoto, standing beside them, had already approached with a serious expression, then silently opened his phone camera with a sense of sacredness, aiming the lens at Koushou's sleeping face.
Yuta quickly went up to cover the camera, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and advised Isshiki Makoto not to do such a thing. He didn't want his good friend to become a pervert.
But Isshiki Makoto wouldn't listen, he refused... This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! This was a Christmas special!!!
"Just one! Just one is fine!!"
He said that, but Isshiki Makoto didn't seem to intend to take his phone back from Yuta's hand, and he had been slow to take the shot just now, probably out of a sense of conscience.
Just as the two were arguing, the room door was suddenly opened violently. Shinka Nibutani, now transformed into a dark magic master, wearing a white one-piece dress that exposed her thighs, draped in a black cloak, and holding a crystal ball staff, opened the door and entered, stunning Yuta and the two others.
But it was also expected; Totsuka had said when she left that everyone would be in disguise...
Only when Nibutani appeared, her aura seemed a bit off... She entered with a face full of anger and resentment, shouting Totsuka's name as soon as she came in. The three probably knew what had happened.
Haha, I have to mock her.
As soon as he thought of it, Fang Wuwei pulled out his phone with lightning speed and took a picture of Nibutani. Then, under her murderous gaze, he silently put away his phone with a poker face, raised one hand, extended a finger, pointed at Yuta, and then, his expression instantly changed from poker-faced to a mocking smile.
"Ha."
Nibutani had a deathly smile on her face and smashed her staff over, hitting Fang Wuwei squarely on the forehead, producing a crisp sound.
