"Huh? Wouldn't a normal person find it awkward to see us bickering like this?"
Komachi looked over and asked curiously.
Although this is a common way for the siblings to get along, it may not seem so to outsiders.
"Only close people would do that."
Su Qing took a sip of tea and didn't say much.
That's what they say, but I feel it's more like one-sided bullying than mutual arguing.
Hachiman thought to himself that he was complaining, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Then, with some curiosity, she asked, "Speaking of which, do you have a younger sister?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"Hey, I wanted to ask that too, because Xiaoqing gives off a feeling of... taking good care of people, right? Like an older brother."
Yui echoed, but tried her best to avoid making eye contact with the other person.
"Indeed...sometimes I feel like he's a bit like my sister."
Yukino frowned slightly. Actually, she felt that Su Qing was more like a father, referring to that reliable feeling.
That's too strange.
And indeed, as Yui said, he does resemble his older brother.
But that doesn't make sense. Su Qing is an abandoned child, so where did she get a younger sister?
"I don't have any younger siblings. I used to help take care of younger siblings for other people, so that's probably why."
Su Qing's statement was still conservative.
Not to mention immediate family members, they couldn't even find any collateral relatives.
However, he wouldn't talk about his family in such a setting.
The reason I was feeling sentimental just now was simply because I remembered that during my time at the orphanage, some little girls would keep saying they wanted to marry him when they grew up.
However, they were all adopted one after another, and Su Qing never saw them again until the director passed away.
"So that's it..."
Yui nodded thoughtfully, but her hand involuntarily reached for the source of the fragrance in the air.
"Mmm—it's delicious, Xiao Cai!"
After taking a bite of the dessert, Yui covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise.
"Phew, that's good. There's still plenty left, so everyone can eat without worry."
Caijia smiled slightly.
With Yui's positive review, the group couldn't resist their curiosity and tried it themselves, naturally receiving unanimous praise.
"Sister Caijia is really amazing."
Komachi was initially worried that her brother might have been deceived by a bad woman.
After all, think about it: a homebody who doesn't socialize much and whose only friend is you.
One day, you suddenly have a pure and lovely girlfriend. Something just doesn't seem right!
"Oh...of course."
It was Hachiman who spoke.
"You idiot, I wasn't praising you!"
Komachi stared at Hachiman with a puzzled look on her face.
Seeing the two getting along so well, the other three women couldn't help but laugh.
[What a harmonious relationship...]
Yukino suddenly thought of her older sister, who hadn't been in contact with her much since the last time the older sister said she wanted to live with her.
Yang Nai is, after all, the heir and takes on a lot of the family business, so it's normal for him to be busy.
Yukino told herself this in her heart.
At the same time, a gray and white kitten peeked its head out from the living room, seemingly noticing the uninvited guests who had come to the house today, and thus appeared somewhat shy.
"Kamakula, you're awake. Don't be afraid, come here and let me hug you to keep you warm."
When Hachiman saw his silly cat wake up, he couldn't help but smile, so he made a gesture as if he wanted to hug it.
"Meow~"
Kamakura let out a lazy call, as if in response to Hachiman.
Then she walked over with light, cat-like steps.
Yukino suppressed her excitement, feeling as if her heart was melting.
Immediately afterwards, Kamakura passed Yukino and Yui, and quickly arrived in front of Hachiman.
Just as he was overjoyed and wanted to hug it, Kamakura acted as if it didn't see him and walked towards Su Qing.
Finally, she lightly jumped and landed on Su Qing's lap, then squinted her eyes slightly, looking very comfortable.
Yukino: Oh no, we forgot there's a succubus among us.
Hachiman: May I ask you a question?

Chapter 333 Kamakura
?
Saturday was a sunny and clear autumn day.
Logically speaking, it should be a happy occasion for club members to come to his house for a gathering (especially since there was Saika). However, Hachiman Hikigaya's heart was filled with a dark fog.
Huh? What exactly is this feeling of being NTR'd?
"What's up?"
Since the cat was refreshed at the Hachiman family's house and was behaving very well, Su Qing felt at ease and directly scratched the back of the cat's neck.
Subsequently.
Kamakula remained motionless, as if frozen in place.
But the others could tell from its relaxed and contented expression that the kitten was very happy at the time.
"Is this your cat? Does it have a name?"
Seeing how much the other person enjoyed her service, Su Qing couldn't help but smile knowingly.
It wasn't that he thought it was particularly cute; he simply felt that the kitten, with its guard down, resembled Mahiru when she was being affectionate.
No wonder Mahiru was jealous last time because she was worried about having a cat; there was a reason for it.
[If it's not mine, then it must be yours!]
Hachiman Hikigaya sometimes wonders if Su Qing has some kind of superpower—why would a good person like him attract someone else's cat for no reason?
"Kamakula, isn't that a nice name?"
Seeing how comfortably Su Qing was "serving" his cat, Hachiman Hikigaya's heart melted, and he decided not to argue with her.
"Hey, this is the first time I've ever seen this child so affectionate towards strangers. Don't let its well-behaved appearance fool you, it's actually quite aloof most of the time, either sleeping or on its way to sleep."
As the "god" in charge of food in the Hikigaya family, Komachi knew all too well what kind of person her cat was.
It's at the point where it's so sleepy it might not even eat its cat food.
Even pigs know how to eat!
“My son Sabre is the same! Although he is usually very lively, he would never be so enthusiastic about running up to strangers.”
Su Qing's gentle movements as she stroked the cat were exceptionally refined and tender, like a babbling brook in a valley.
Yui was momentarily stunned, but then seemed to remember something and quickly snapped back to reality. Her face flushed slightly, and she looked away, no longer glancing at him.
Noticing this, Komachi blinked, looking thoughtful.
"That snowball... too."
Yukino's thoughts weren't as complicated as the others'; her attention was almost entirely focused on the blue-gray Kamakura.
[What would it be like if... I were the one touching Kamakula?]
Just thinking about it made Yukino feel a little elated.
"Would you like to try it? Kamakura doesn't resist being touched here, it's this soft spot on the back of her neck."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Su Qing asked.
"Can I touch it?"
Cat lover Yukino couldn't possibly miss this opportunity, so she turned and looked at Komachi with expectant eyes.
As for why they didn't ask Hachiman, it's naturally because the younger sister is clearly in charge of this household...
"Please, please, don't be shy."
Komachi chuckled mischievously. She never expected that the seemingly aloof company president would turn into this person at this moment. It was quite a contrast!
"Here, start by gently scratching or pinching, observe the reaction, and then gradually increase the pressure."
Su Qing picked up Kamakura. The cat seemed to know that she was leaving, so it tilted its head in the air and made a puzzled expression.
Why did people abandon me?
But as Yukino excitedly touched it as Su Qing had instructed, it relaxed and squinted its eyes.
[Newbie, please take good care of me.]
Kamakura let out a lazy meow and then lay down on Yukino's soft lap.
Although it didn't understand why it couldn't stay in its original comfortable place, the current environment was soft and not too bad.
"This should be 'scruff', right?"
Yukino's eyes sparkled with a light as gentle as melting snow.
She tried applying more pressure, and the cat didn't resist, which made her even happier.
"'Scruff'? That's not English; it translates to 'sloppy person', right?"
Yui frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
"Yui-nee, it seems that besides 'sloppy person,' it also means 'back of the neck.'"
Komachi is currently a senior in high school, which is the peak of a person's intelligence, so she answered the question easily.
"Yes, that spot is called 'satruff' or 'mother spot' by those who study felines."
In nature, kittens are often carried around in their mother's mouth in this area during their early years. Over time, this area has evolved into a sensitive spot, and being pinched there will instinctively bring back the feeling of being carried by the mother cat when the kitten is young. That's why it's so relaxed.
However, not all cats are like that; you should always be careful when dealing with any animal.
Su Qing gave a brief explanation.
Come to think of it, humans are a type of animal after all...
"Wow, Su Qing knows a lot! His grades in school must be pretty good, right?"
Komachi nodded in surprise. She didn't understand much about this either, as she was busy studying.
Su Qing...brother?
Before Su Qing could speak, Komachi quickly patched up the situation.
"Um... because you and my older brother are very good friends, right?"
"You're older than me, so I'll call you Brother Su Qing. I'm so sorry if this is presumptuous, and the same goes for Sister Yui!"
"It's okay, it's okay. On the contrary, it's quite cute! I used to really want an older sister or a younger sister."
Yui waved her hand, completely unconcerned about the matter.
