Chapter 400 400: Stealing Food is for Dogs part 1

Miyuki's residential area was indeed quite high-end. In Lena's eyes, as a mere convenience store employee, how could he afford to live in such a nice place? That's probably why she's so surprised now.

Therefore, after repeating the address once more, Renji added a supplementary explanation.

He didn't actually live there; he just had a friend who was currently helping him out by letting him stay temporarily, like renting a place.

Renji thought that after this explanation, Lena shouldn't have such a big reaction anymore. After all, sharing a rental was quite common in big cities.

However, the pink-haired girl in the driver's seat seemed to furrow her brows even more, with an expression that was a bit difficult to describe.

Lena opened her mouth several times, seemingly wanting to ask more questions, but ultimately remained silent.

Afterward, on the way home, Lena, who had always been very talkative when they were out shopping as if she could chat endlessly, now became gloomy and appeared to be deeply troubled.

Even when Renji actively tried to find topics to discuss, the pink-haired woman mostly just replied with a distracted "hmm" or something similar.

Miyuki's residential area was not far from here; it only took about ten minutes by car.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the residential area, Renji didn't get out immediately. Instead, after taking a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind about something, he actively asked the pink-haired girl in the driver's seat beside him:

"Lena, do you... want to come up and sit for a bit?"

"Go to your place?"

"Yeah."

Renji nodded seriously. Just now, due to his selfish desires, he deliberately didn't mention that his so-called "roommate" was actually a woman and a very beautiful one at that.

But from Lena's gloominess along the way, Renji could only understand that the clever Lena had most likely guessed it, which was why she had become upset.

After all, indeed, if Lena were to share a rental with another person of the opposite sex, he would probably feel the same way.

Moreover, what he had done was even more outrageous.

He and Miyuki had already done the deed several times... It was precisely because he thought of this that Renji made up his mind. He knew that relying on his own willpower alone, it might be very difficult to overcome Miyuki, which was why he needed to borrow external forces.

He wanted to take this opportunity to bring Lena back home so that Miyuki would also understand his intentions and completely end this abnormal relationship.

On the other hand.

Lena's current mood was also very complicated.

Living in the same residential area was one thing, but even being in the same building was the reason why she was so shocked at first.

And then, when Renji added that he was currently cohabiting and renting with someone else, Lena's suspicion that the young man in front of her was Miyuki's younger brother rose to ninety percent.

However, because Renji didn't mention the apartment number, that was the remaining ten percent of Lena's fantasy.

But now, Renji was actively inviting her to visit...

What should I do?

Lena's mind was still struggling and tangled, but her actual inner desires had already made her answer.

"Okay."

The pink-haired girl nodded in agreement.

She didn't want to use that ten percent of fantasy to deceive herself with bubbles.

I wanted to... know the truth.

After parking the car, Renji brought Lena back home.

The familiar apartment building.

First floor, second floor... waiting for the elevator to rise to the fourth floor, the young man led her to the familiar door. Seeing the all-too-familiar apartment number "403," Lena's remaining ten percent of fantasy was completely shattered.

The person I liked was really... Miyuki's younger brother?

"Um... sorry! I suddenly remembered some urgent matters. Visiting... I will visit next time. Sorry."

As Renji was taking out his keys, Lena chose to run away.

Before the young man could react, the pink-haired girl showed a forced apologetic smile and quickly walked downstairs, not giving Renji a chance to stop her.

Just as Lena's figure disappeared from the stairwell, the door in front of Renji was opened from the inside.

"Huh? Renji, you're back so early today?"

It seemed that Miyuki was about to go out to throw away the garbage and happened to run into Renji at the door.

Seeing the young man's appearance, Miyuki tilted her head and asked with a smile:

"What's wrong, Why are you standing foolishly at the door? Come in quickly."

"...Okay."

After welcoming the young man into the house, Miyuki placed the garbage bag in the garbage chute next to the door. The blonde girl didn't rush inside but instead looked thoughtfully at the place where Lena had just disappeared with her emerald-

green eyes.

"She ran away? This isn't the Lena I know..."

"Hmm, it seems that her recovery is still not enough. We need to increase the dose of stimulation."

"What should I do?"

The blonde woman in the stairwell muttered to herself, seeming a bit troubled. However, soon after, her phone vibrated in her pocket. Miyuki opened it and saw that the caller was Lena.

At this moment, the blonde girl's lips curled into a smile.

"Hello?"

"Miyuki, are you at home right now?"

"I'm at home. What's wrong, Lena? You sound a bit off."

"No, it's nothing... No, Miyuki, I... I just happened to be downstairs at your building. Can you come down for a bit?"

"Huh? Lena, you're downstairs? Why don't you just come up?"

"No, no... No, no, no. Um, Miyuki, you should come down. I... I won't go up."

"Alright, then wait for me."

"Okay."

Beep, beep, beep...

-Downstairs.

After hanging up the phone, Lena was still clutching her phone tightly, her face showing a nervous and perplexed expression.

Lena had never imagined that yesterday, she had come to visit Miyuki and learned that Miyuki's younger brother had moved in to live with her. Then today, she discovered that Miyuki's younger brother was actually the person she liked!

"..,"

The reason why she was so tangled, nervous, and even perplexed was that she knew the importance of Miyuki's younger brother to Miyuki.

Back when she hadn't moved out yet, Miyuki often mentioned this younger brother to her. As a fellow woman, Lena was very clear that Miyuki had a great deal of love for this younger brother. She was a complete brocon, and even...

Even though Lena was too embarrassed to say it, she had a vague feeling that Miyuki seemed to have a love for her younger brother that went beyond the level of "siblings," as if it was a deeper level of love.
