<h4>Chapter 1261: A familiar scene</h4>


    Tengu City, Itsuka Residence…


    Outside, the clouds dyed the sky red as the sun sank beyond the horizon.


    In a certain living room, piping-hot dishes filled arge dining table as the tantalizing smell of good food filled the air.


    Origami stood near the dining table meant for the person of the hour in her casual shirt and pants. She looked at the dining table filled with food and drinks meant for a party with slight confusion.


    Of course, she’s not confounded by the array of the food itself. She is just stunned as to why there are people smiling at her near the dining table. This mystery was solved when…


    “Congrattions!”


    Wu Yan, Kaguya, Yuzuru, Miku, Shiori, Kotori, Kurumi, Tohka, and Yoshino raised their cups as they cheered. Origami wasn’t sure how to respond when they sprang this on her.


    “Con-grattions?”

    <i>For what?</i>


    “We are helping you celebrate!”


    Kotori read Origami’s mind. She lowered her voice as she whispered into Origami’s ears.


    “Shiori heard that your parents who went into aa five years ago just woke up so she is doing this to celebrate…”


    Origami finally knew what had happened. She looked around before nodding.


    “Thank you so much. To go to this much trouble for me…”


    Origami thanked Shiori personally.


    “Thank you, Shiori, I will forever remember this act of grace.”


    “Well, don’t need to be so formal around me. I did this because I wanted to, we are friends, after all…”


    Shiori felt a bit pressured by the passionate gaze Origami used on her. She emphasized the part about being friends while chuckling awkwardly.


    “Plus, Shido prepared all the food here. I just came up with the suggestions. If you want to thank anyone then thank him!”


    “Haha, what? Shiori…”


    Wu Yan turned toward Shiori.


    “You mean you didn’t run around asking about Origami’s parents after hearing the news and organized this celebration in a short time frame? You shouldn’t belittle your feelings considering the actions you took to make sure Origami’s parents’ recoveries were celebrated.”


    Origami looked at Shiori once more. The fervent gaze she is using on Shiori made it feel like her clothes would be burned to ashes. Shiori’s female instincts made her shrink back whileughing it off.


    “W-well, let’s change the subject. We are celebrating her parents’ recoveries. Although they aren’t here, Origami is here so we should party it up! Come, let’s dig in!”


    “Oh~ Can we finally eat?!”


    Tohka who was waiting by the side finally jumped into motion. She took out a pair of chopsticks at inhuman speeds.


    .box-4-multi-134{border:none !important;disy:block !important;float:none;line-height:0px;margin-bottom:15px !important;margin-left:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-top:15px !important;max-width:100% !important;min-height:250px;min-width:250px;padding:0;text-align:center !important;}“Shido and Shiori prepared this banquet for me!”


    Origami told Tohka off.


    “Why don’t you go and chomp on dog food.”


    “Dog food?”


    Tohka wasn’t incensed by Origami’s rude remark.


    “What is dog food? Is it good?”


    “Yeah, it’s the tastiest in the world. It should fit your taste buds.”


    Origami answered.


    “I highly rmend you include it in your daily meal intakes.”


    “Really?”


    Tohka begged Wu Yan.


    “Shido, do that, give me some of that!”


    “I mean…”


    Wu Yan bitterlyughed.


    “I know how to make them but I do think this is the first time anyone asked me for dog food for personal consumption. I am not sure…”


    Indeed, Origami is past hating spirits but her rtionship with Tohka is still far from amicable.


    They are interacting like how Mikoto always butts head with Misaki.


    "Mmm, this is shoo good!"


    Miku already dived right in. She is wrapped in culinary ecstasy.


    "That is my hubby for you, he can kill it even in the kitchen!"


    "Hehe, Master is beyondparison when benchmarked against mortals."


    Kaguya puffed her chest out proudly. She acted like she helped with the cooking. Yuzuru also looked puzzled, she asked Miku.


    "Question, why is Miku here?"


    "Darling invited me here!"


    Miku lifted her head.


    "This is a party, the more the merrier..."


    Miku-neesan also brought food over..."


    Yoshino reminded Yuzuru.


    "Shiori saw the materials and so she reserved them for the party..."


    "Ara..."


    Kurumi pointed her index finger at her chin.


    "In other words, before we even nned the party, she already brought over materials for hubby to cook?"


    "And? What of it?!"


    Miku gnashed her teeth since Kurumi blew her cover.


    "You guys get to eat hubby''s work of art every day! I just want a piece of that action."


    "It''s <i>our</i> home cooking."


    Kotori pursed her lips.


    "It''s not open to external parties!"


    "Okay, fine, I just have to be family, right?!"


    Miku started purring near Wu Yan.


    "Hey, darling, let''s get hitched! I want to join the Itsuka family!"


    "Prfft!"


    Wu Yan spat out the soup in his mouth.


    "Shido, you need to rein yourself in."


    Shiori told Wu Yan off with a re.


    "I know you bigamy isn''t your thing but there should be a limit to your polygamous rtionships."


    "I..."


    Wu Yan wanted to defend himself. Then, he recalled his situation and so he just gave up.


    "I im force majeure..."


    "You''re saying you went after Tohka, Tokisaki, Kaguya, Yuzuru, and Miku due to mere chances?!"


    Shiori judged him.


    "Okay, who are you going to <i>identally</i> get into a rtionship with next?"


    "I don''t know..."


    Wu Yan rubbed his nose.


    "Maybe Kotori?"


    Two stares immediately silenced him. Wu Yan froze up.


    Kotori low-key leered at him from a corner while Shiori stared daggers into him.


    "Hey, Shido..."


    Shiori chuckled.


    "Don''t tell me you would even go after your own sister?"


    Wu Yan shook his head in denial.


    "You lolicon!"


    Wu Yan almost spat another bout of soup.


    "Why?!"


    "Don''t ask me why? I am angry with you!"


    Shiori warned him by grabbing his cor.


    "Listen up, I don''t care where you get your wick dipped but don''t touch Kotori or Yoshino, you hear?"


    Wu Yan wanted to cry.


    Origami did the same thing to him hours before.


    Except, Origami told him not to aim for Shiori.
