Chapter 168 - Chapter 168: The Night Before the School Trip

Takamiya Mana's body has recovered to health under Yoshino's treatment, but for her safety, she was sent back to the medical facility of Ratatoskr to re-examine her body to see if there were any unexpected situations. And Takamiya Mana successfully left DEM Company after that and joined Ratatoskr, which is really gratifying.

Unlike the original work, Takamiya Mana joined Ratatoskr and lived with Itsuka Shido at the Itsuka family. Itsuka Kotori questioned Takamiya Mana why she wanted to live here? And Takamiya Mana said that it is a matter of course for a younger sister to live with her brother, right? In this way, these two real sisters and an adopted sister would argue every day because of Itsuka Shido, just like Yatogami Tohka and Tobiichi Origami in school.

Tokisaki Kurumi, who is good at infiltrating, went to the Itsuka family one morning and saw Takamiya Mana running to Itsuka Shido's bed and sleeping with him. Originally, there was nothing wrong with a younger sister sleeping with her brother, at most it only proved that the relationship between their siblings was very good. But the key is, Takamiya Mana doesn't know what she was thinking. She didn't wear anything except her underwear when she was sleeping with Itsuka Shido, and the siblings hugged each other tightly when they were sleeping, just like lovers.

As a matter of course, because Takamiya Mana came to live at home, Itsuka Kotori, who wanted to increase her sister index, changed the bandage on her head to a white bandage and turned into a younger sister mode. Then, if she used this method to wake Itsuka Shido up, Itsuka Shido would remember the charm of being a younger sister, and maybe she could win against Takamiya Mana.

But when she went to Itsuka Shido's room and saw this room, her face instantly darkened, and she directly changed the bandage on her head to a black bandage and then lifted the quilt on them. As a result, she saw Itsuka Shido hugging Takamiya Mana, who was only wearing underwear. After seeing Takamiya Mana comfortably rubbing Itsuka Shido's chest and then increasing the hug, Itsuka Kotori completely lost control.

Tokisaki Kurumi learned bad things during her time with Toujou Nozomi. After Itsuka Kotori sanctioned Itsuka Shido, the daily battle between the real sister and the adopted sister began. Tokisaki Kurumi used a camera to completely record the scene of the two Little Loli arguing, but it was a bit strange that Takamiya Mana was only wearing underwear.

However, in the blink of an eye, it was already July. With the end of the final test, the school trip came earlier than the summer vacation. Although the class stipulates that students who fail the final test must join a cram school for a summer vacation and cannot join the school trip.

Although this decision caused many students to complain, it was not a problem for good students like Toujou Nozomi. After all, they were the top students in the school, and exams were so easy. Only Hoshizora Rin had a bit of a problem; even though she had signed a contract with Yoshino to strengthen her body and brain, for some unknown reason, she, who was originally part of Muse's 'idiot trio,' hadn't received any clear enhancements and was still a complete academic slacker.

Therefore, to ensure Hoshizora Rin could pass her exams smoothly, Toujou Nozomi and the others set up a perfect (hellish) tutoring plan for her. Hoshizora Rin felt like she had lost many brain cells and even turned a few strands of hair white during those days. However, she was overthinking it; there was no change in her appearance, and she still had beautiful hair.

The day before the school trip, Yoshino and the others were at home organizing their belongings for the trip. After all, they were going to the beach and staying in a nearby inn, so proper preparation was essential. What bothered Yoshino was that Tokisaki Kurumi and Toujou Nozomi kept making her try on swimsuits, and nothing Yoshino said made a difference.

"Don't run away, Yoshino! Try on this swimsuit!" Toujou Nozomi called out to Yoshino, who was scurrying ahead. Incidentally, Toujou Nozomi was holding a very revealing swimsuit, which Yoshino thought looked like just three strips of cloth. Who would wear such an embarrassing swimsuit?

As Yoshino ran to the entrance, the front door opened. Itsuka Miku, dressed in the Rindouji Girls' Academy uniform, walked in. Now, whenever she had time, she would visit Yoshino's house. And unbeknownst to Yoshino, Itsuka Miku had even made a copy of the front door key.

Itsuka Miku, who had just entered, immediately saw Yoshino running towards her in a cute swimsuit—a light blue one with a skirt. Seeing this, Itsuka Miku's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected to receive such a benefit as soon as she arrived.

Upon seeing Itsuka Miku, Yoshino didn't hesitate. She immediately went behind Itsuka Miku, hugged her, and looked at Toujou Nozomi and Tokisaki Kurumi, who were holding the swimsuit, with a terrified expression. Previously, when they went to the beach in the 'Love Live' world, Toujou Nozomi and Ayase Eli had forced her to wear all sorts of swimsuits and even took photos. How could she let them tease her with such methods again?

"Tsk! A spoilsport has arrived. Forget it, I'll just have to wait until tomorrow." Toujou Nozomi clicked her tongue, realizing she couldn't make Yoshino change into other clothes today. She reluctantly gave up the idea of making Yoshino change swimsuits with Tokisaki Kurumi, and with a regretful heart, took the swimsuit back to her room.

"Phew~ Thank you, Sister Miku. You saved Yoshino." Seeing Toujou Nozomi and the others leave, Yoshino smiled and thanked Itsuka Miku. As if remembering Itsuka Miku's personality, before Itsuka Miku could say anything, Yoshino quickly pecked Itsuka Miku's cheek and then hurriedly ran back to her room. She still needed to change back into her own clothes.

"Oh~ I originally wanted to change Yoshino's clothes with Sister Nozomi and the others, but it seems there was an unexpected gain. I seem to have earned a little favorability with Yoshino." Itsuka Miku touched the cheek that Yoshino had just kissed, slowly savoring the feeling. It seemed she should thank Toujou Nozomi and the others. She saw Yoshino in a swimsuit as soon as she arrived today, and now she even got a kiss on Yoshino's cheek. It was truly a great deal.

After a while, everyone gathered in the living room. Yoshino had already changed her clothes earlier, but today she didn't sit next to Toujou Nozomi. Instead, she sat between Minami Kotori and Itsuka Miku. This made Toujou Nozomi and Tokisaki Kurumi look displeased, but it was their own doing, and they had to endure it, even with tears in their eyes.

"Why are you here today, Miku? Don't you have classes today?" Minami Kotori asked Itsuka Miku with a smile.

"Classes are already over, and besides, it doesn't matter if I don't go to class," Itsuka Miku said, wrinkling her cute nose and showing an unhappy expression. There was a slight hint of disgust on her face, as if she had seen something unclean.

Then Itsuka Miku pulled out a photo from her person and threw it onto the table without even looking at it.

Everyone was curious as to why Itsuka Miku reacted that way, so they all leaned over the table to look at the photo. It showed a very cute girl with long blue hair, just a bit more spirited. However—

"This girl... why does she look so familiar?" Toujou Nozomi said, rubbing her chin in confusion. She was confident she had seen this person somewhere, she just couldn't recall where.

"Girl? Don't joke around. This person is a boy." Itsuka Miku scoffed, thinking about what happened today, and her face turned pale again.

"A boy!?" After Itsuka Miku's hint, Toujou Nozomi finally knew why this person seemed so familiar to her. "This person is, Itsuka Shido?"

"That's right, this guy named Itsuka Shido deliberately dressed up as Itsuka Shiori to try and get close to me!" Itsuka Miku said, crossing her arms, which made her prominent breasts even more noticeable. This made Hoshizora Rin, Honjou Nia, and Natsumi's mouths twitch.

"It seems this must be Ratatoskr's scheme." Toujou Nozomi immediately thought that this was definitely Itsuka Kotori's idea; only she could come up with something so detrimental to her own brother.

'But Itsuka Shiori, she seems very interesting.' Toujou Nozomi turned and exchanged glances with Shiina. In just an instant, they understood each other's intentions. The person and the puppet nodded, and a plan was immediately formed.

"Oh, right, tomorrow we're going on a school trip. The location is Mikutama Island, Miku, do you want to come with us?" Toujou Nozomi asked Itsuka Miku.

"This..." Itsuka Miku frowned, a bit troubled. She still had some schedules to catch up on during this time. It was a bit difficult.

"It's the beach, you know, which means Yoshino will be changing into a swimsuit there. Don't you want to see Yoshino in a swimsuit?" Toujou Nozomi said with a smile, looking at the troubled Itsuka Miku. Immediately, Itsuka Miku's eyes lit up as she thought of Yoshino in a swimsuit earlier.

"I'm going, I'm definitely going." Schedules and everything else didn't matter! What did it matter as long as she could see Yoshino in a swimsuit?

"Mm, mm! Good, but you should know there's a surprise in store for this trip." Toujou Nozomi revealed a mysterious smile, but she didn't say what the surprise was, leaving everyone very curious.

However, Toujou Nozomi shook her head and said nothing. If she told them, it wouldn't be a surprise.

She looked at the photo on the table, a devilish smile on her face.
