Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 137

"It seems that our Uesugi family is going to prosper in this generation. It's truly thanks to our ancestors."

Uesugi Nogo stroked his beard, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing her parents enter the room, Erii Uesugi's gaze fell fiercely on the screen. She looked up and glared at the suddenly appearing fox spirits, pouting and appearing very unhappy.

Although she was very happy that her brother's attitude towards her had become much better after returning from Tokyo, she was troubled by the sheer number of vixens around her.

She gently tugged at Shiina Mashiro, who was hugging her knees and staring blankly at the screen.

This is also a fox spirit, but at least I'm somewhat familiar with it, and it's not that clever, so it poses less of a danger.

They are potential allies.

Erii gestured to Mashiro with her eyes, but Mashiro turned around with eyes as calm and clear as a lake, completely unable to understand Erii's signal. She peeled a piece of Baumkuchen, then turned her gaze back to the screen, her eyes fixed on only one shadow.

Erii stomped her foot in a fit of anger.

What an idiot, what a moron.

Beside them, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi looked at Erii with doting eyes, after all, she was their younger sister.

Kasumigaoka Utaha withdrew her gaze and glanced at the blond loser who was pecking at rice like a chicken, her eyes full of disdain.

This blonde loser is the least threatening of them all; aside from having a reasonably good-looking face, she has absolutely nothing to offer.

Eriri seemed to sense Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze in some unseen way. She bit her fangs, and her two twin tails seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force.

"What kind of look is that?!" Eriri glared angrily at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Tch~" Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze fell on the barren land in front of Eriri, she chuckled and turned away without saying another word.

Eriri followed Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze to the person in front of her and immediately felt like she was about to explode with anger.

It's just a dairy cow, isn't it?

What's so great!

"It's a wonder you can be so smug with such a despicable body."

"That's still better than someone's figure, which is even worse than that of an elementary school student."

"Ahhhh, who are you calling an elementary school student? Look, there's that other one too..." Eriri's face turned bright red as she immediately retorted. She scanned the room with her eyes, and with each person she passed, she became more and more frustrated, especially Saeko Busujima, who almost made her grind her teeth to pieces.

Finally, her eyes lit up when her gaze fell on Keiko's back.

“Look at Keiko, how could I possibly be a primary school student…” Eriri pointed at Keiko excitedly as if she had grasped the last straw. However, before she could finish speaking, Keiko turned around and Eriri’s gaze kept shifting back and forth between herself and Keiko.

"What's wrong?" Keiko asked, puzzled.

"No, it's nothing."

Eriri looked somewhat devastated.

She really is not even as good as an elementary school student.

Eriri knelt on the tatami in despair, falling into a state of self-isolation. Her mother wasn't like this at all; what exactly went wrong?

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled as she saw Eriri's defeat, but when she looked at the adorable twins on the screen, her legs couldn't help but tremble involuntarily.

Kato Megumi and Busujima Saeko were relieved to see that Uesugi Kenichi was alright and watched the live stream with peace of mind.

The dangers that Uesugi Kenichi encountered during his live streams these past few days have terrified them so much that they couldn't sit still any longer and came to his house to wait for him.

When Uesugi Kenichi returns, we must teach him a lesson for running off to do something so dangerous without saying a word.

Kato Megumi's expression was calm and collected, but the inexplicable dark aura she occasionally emitted made Kasumigaoka Utaha click her tongue and not dare to get close at all.

……

Judging a person's culinary skills is actually quite simple; you can tell their level just by watching the chef prepare the food.

Kenichi Uesugi's gaze kept falling on Rem, who was focused on cooking. He was a little worried about Rem's cooking skills; if she messed it up, then they would have to wait a while longer before they could eat.

With his own belly in mind, he paid close attention to Rem's situation and was prepared to go and take over if anything went wrong.

Fortunately, Rem wasn't exaggerating. Judging from her skillful cooking process, she must be an expert. She cut and fried the meat without any confusion.

The oil sizzled and crackled as the wolf meat was constantly turned over in the pot. Gradually, an enticing aroma wafted over, making Uesugi Kenichi lick his lips, his anticipation for the meal growing even stronger.

"...Rem's cooking skills are quite good. She's the one who does all the cooking at home. In fact, Rem is more like the older sister than me," Ram said with a smile, noticing Uesugi Kenichi's gaze.

"Then I'll look forward to it." Uesugi Kenichi withdrew his gaze and asked, "Where do you live?"

"In Igawa Prefecture, near Mount Koya."

Uesugi Kenichi took out his phone, searched for the location of Igawa Prefecture on the map, and nodded. Igawa Prefecture was not far from their current location. After crossing three mountains, it wouldn't be far. However, (Zhao Wang's) way, this live broadcast could only end here.

"After you eat and take a nap, I'll take you home. By the way, do you need to call home to let them know?"

He handed over his phone as he spoke.

Ram shook her head: "No need, there's only the two of us sisters at home, no one else, no one will worry about us."

"Feel sorry."

Kenichi Uesugi put his phone away and said silently.

"Pfft."

Ram chuckled softly, her gaze gently falling on Uesugi Kenichi as she shook her head: "Why should Uesugi-kun apologize? We're used to it, and we don't feel there's anything wrong with it."

“Rem and I grew up in an orphanage. Everyone there was very kind to us. It’s been almost three years since we moved out.”

Uesugi Kenichi poked at the crackling campfire in front of him, then looked up at Ram and his gaze softened considerably.

"It must have been very tough."

“It’s not hard at all.” Ram shook her head. “Compared to many people, we are already very lucky. We have grown up healthy and can support ourselves with our own hands. Most importantly, we have each other.”

Perhaps it was because tonight's experience was so thrilling, or perhaps for some other reason, that Ram whispered these words that she never told anyone before.

As a listener, Kenichi Uesugi was undoubtedly very competent; he listened quietly without offering any further words of comfort.

"Dinner's ready. Try it and see how it tastes." Rem placed the cut wolf meat in front of Uesugi Kenichi, then knelt down and handed him a pair of wooden chopsticks, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Thank you." Uesugi Kenichi took the chopsticks, his gaze falling on the pan-fried wolf meat in front of him.

Under the firelight, a large piece of wolf meat, mixed with still-jumping oil, exuded an intoxicating aroma. The surface was golden brown, and the cut revealed the reddish flesh in the center, indicating that it was grilled to perfection.

The wolf meat was served alongside some vegetables, and just looking at it made one's mouth water.

The panda, who had been lying alone and entertaining itself, couldn't resist coming over after smelling the aroma and kept pawing at Uesugi Kenichi's calves.

"Go away, go away, go play somewhere else, you have no sense of propriety at all." Uesugi Kenichi ignored the panda pawing at him, picked up a piece of wolf meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to taste it.

His expression lit up the moment the wolf meat entered his mouth.

The meat was fried to perfection. One bite filled his mouth with juicy flavor that kept stimulating his taste buds. He chewed for a while before swallowing it. The taste was so good that he couldn't help but lick his lips.

Looking at Rem's expectant eyes, Uesugi Kenichi exclaimed, "It's delicious."

Upon hearing this, Rem's eyes lit up immediately. "I'm glad you like it. I'll make some more."

After saying that, Rem immediately got up and went back to her work.

Kenichi Uesugi continued working on the wolf meat in front of him. Wolf meat naturally has a gamey smell, but Rem's cooking skills are exceptional; she completely removed the gamey odor, and with the addition of ample seasoning, the taste was in no way inferior to the finest beef.

Moreover, it has a unique flavor compared to beef.

"Friends, this is the first time I've ever eaten wolf meat, but the taste is absolutely delightful. The meat is incredibly fresh and tender, and paired with these side dishes, it's truly a rare treat in life."

He was finally full after eating two plates in a row, and he lay lazily against the cave wall, completely unwilling to move.

Ram and Rem were clearly hungry, and they ate a large piece after he finished eating.

Outside the cave, a torrential downpour began again, washing over the earth and creating a melodious sound like a symphony as the rain pounded on the ground.

But in this environment, living in a cave where there is no wind or rain, one feels an indescribable sense of peace.

"Okay, I'm going to rest now. Everyone should go and rest too. Thank you all so much for keeping me company all night."

Kenichi Uesugi waved to the camera and, with a sense of reluctance from the viewers, ended the live stream.

"You should get some rest too. I'll take you back when you wake up. Oh, and you can use this sleeping bag. I've slept in it twice already, so I hope you won't mind."

He picked up the sleeping bag that was lying to the side and put it near the inside of the cave.

"How can this be? Absolutely not!" Ram and Rem refused repeatedly.

They felt bad. They had already caused Uesugi Kenichi a lot of trouble today, and they couldn't accept asking him to give up his sleeping bag. After all, they weren't ungrateful people.

"We can just make do with whatever we have, we're not that delicate." Rem squatted down to pick up the sleeping bag, but a hand stopped her.

"Listen to me." Uesugi Kenichi's tone left no room for argument.

He had a good impression of the Ram and Rem sisters, not only because they were cute, but more importantly because they knew how to behave appropriately and did not take everything for granted.

So he didn't mind being nicer to them, and with so many wolf pelts here, it wouldn't be uncomfortable to sleep on them.

Seeing Uesugi Kenichi's unyielding attitude, Ram and Rem had no choice but to accept it. Although they felt a little embarrassed, a sweet feeling welled up in their hearts.

"Then I'll lay it out for you."

Rem glanced at it, moved the sleeping bag a little further in, then moved the wolf skin that was spread on the ground next to the sleeping bag, carefully tidying it up until she was satisfied.

"Um~" Rem suddenly stammered.

"What's wrong? You can tell me if you need anything," Uesugi Kenichi turned his head and asked in confusion.

"Actually, this sleeping bag is quite big; three people could squeeze in and sleep comfortably..."

Under Kenichi Uesugi's gaze, Rem blushed but still mustered the courage to speak.

Without waiting for Uesugi Ken's reaction, he crawled into the sleeping bag and even shoved his head inside.

Uesugi Kenichi: "..."

He turned his head speechlessly and glanced at Ram, whose face was also flushed with embarrassment.

"Actually, Rem isn't wrong." Ram said this and quickly crawled into her sleeping bag.

Immediately, Uesugi Kenichi felt as if he had been teased, and with a dark expression, he uttered two words: "Sleep!"

He turned his back to the two sisters, picked up Panda and brought him to his side, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

He slept soundly, while Ram and Rem lay awake, unable to fall asleep for a while.
