66. The Brain Controlled by the Cerebellum, Everyone Gets a Share

"It's no use, Master."

"I didn't realize it until I tried just now, but Akira's personal information is under extremely tight protection."

"The person who joined me in the attack just now was someone you brought in to help, right?"

"Even with the two of us working together, we couldn't break through the multiple firewalls set up by that unknown hacker in such a short time."

"The hacker responsible for protecting Akira's network security is really something else."

"Master, should I continue the attack?"

"If we can't find that little brat's location in a short time, forget it."

"Lucienne, stand down."

Yakushiji Ryoko bit her lip, her cold and beautiful face showing a trace of extreme frustration as she spoke in an exhausted tone.

"That's right, Chisato. This sister and I really did our best."

"That bastard Akira is just too well-hidden."

"We could only try to breach the defenses without alerting the authorities."

"If we launched a larger-scale cyber attack, we'd definitely attract official attention."

"That would be more trouble than it's worth."

"Since when did Japan have so many world-class hackers?"

Hotaro left this puzzled comment before hanging up.

"Master, should I still fly the helicopter over?"

Marianne, seemingly sensing her Master's extreme displeasure, asked cautiously.

"If you and Lucienne want to come over and hang out, feel free."

After Ryoko hung up, the girls exchanged glances, all of them at a loss.

"Maybe we should just accept reality?"

"Akira's near-supernatural intelligence has already been proven in his plans earlier."

"It reminds me of an ancient saying from China: 'Strategize within the tent, win battles a thousand miles away.'"

"He must have anticipated that you'd try to locate him using these two hackers."

"So he prepared in advance."

Miyuki Jingu weakly tried to console everyone.

This bastard childhood friend didn't give them any chance to interfere with his plans.

His network of connections was just too vast.

With a single move, he could call in a world-class hacker to help.

Such strategic talent was incredibly rare in any country.

You couldn't find more than a handful of people like that in a single nation.

"Where on earth did that playboy meet so many amazing people?"

"Akira hasn't attended school properly for more than a few days in his life."

"He's either gone to China for training or wandered off to other places."

"You all know this—he only comes back at the end of the semester to take the final exams."

"And even then, his scores are consistently above a 70 deviation value."

Eriri complained bitterly.

Even if she studied 24 hours a day without rest, she could never catch up to Akira's shadow.

Having such an outstanding older brother since childhood had really put Eriri under immense pressure!

"What's wrong with him knowing all these eccentric people?"

"Eriri has a point."

"If Akira hadn't skipped school and wandered around so much,"

"We wouldn't have had the chance to meet him."

They were all from different corners of the world, and it was only because of Akira that they could gather like this now.

"Unbelievable!"

"Look what I found!"

Erina, her throat sore from shouting, went to the dining table to get some water and spotted Tai'e, which Akira had casually left on the corner of the table.

She couldn't help but call out to everyone:

"That bastard Akira, controlled by his cerebellum, even forgot about Tai'e."

"He left it on the table."

Everyone: "..."

"Let me see."

"I've always wanted to get my hands on Tai'e."

Chisato Nishikigi was the fastest, rushing over first.

She grabbed Tai'e.

With her left hand holding the scabbard and her right hand gripping the hilt,

She used all her strength, but Tai'e didn't budge.

No matter how hard Chisato tried, no matter how many positions she tried, she couldn't draw the sword.

"A famous sword has a spirit!"

"As expected of a legendary treasure from China."

"Only Tai'e's master can draw this sword."

Kujou Karen, seeing this, had a glint in her eyes as she sighed with admiration.

"Let me try."

The girls took turns holding Tai'e, but none of them could draw the sword from its scabbard.

"Yuki, you're Akira's personal maid. Take Tai'e and keep it safe for him."

"Remember, carry it with you at all times."

Karen quickly ordered.

"Yes, Madam."

Yuki bowed her head and took Tai'e, holding it tightly in her arms.

"That kid Akira is way too careless."

"He's clearly being controlled by his cerebellum."

"It's getting late. Should we all head home?"

"Since we're all here, why don't you stay overnight?"

Kujou Sakurako and Kujou Maria, as the hosts, extended the invitation.

"And don't you want to know what that playboy Akira did tonight?"

"He can't stay away forever."

"He'll have to come back tomorrow, right?"

After some thought, the girls decisively sent their parents home and stayed overnight at the Kujou residence.

However, what happened next proved that

They had overestimated Akira and Leonora's sense of shame.

---

Meanwhile, on the other side, Akira and Koharu, who had shared a bed just last night, were now sleeping with different people.

One had to admit, this world was truly fascinating.

---

Kujou Residence.

Kujou Karen's Bedroom.

Koharu, tied to a chair, looked at Karen sitting across from her,

Dressed like an investigator.

She was utterly despairing.

In her heart, she cursed Eriri half to death.

Once she got home, she swore she'd make that unfilial daughter pay.

"Karen, you perverted lesbian, stay away from me!"

"If you dare do anything to me, I'll tell Akira, and you'll be dead!"

"Koharu, you're just as shameless as ever!"

"First, you tattled to Mother, and now you're tattling to your son."

"If I'm a perverted lesbian, what does that make you?"

"A perverted fujoshi?"

Karen smirked, firing back with a grin.

"We're equally bad. Don't act all high and mighty."

"Karen, what do you want?"

"Mother already warned you not to go too far."

"I'm just curious—what good things have happened to you recently?"

"Koharu, something's off about you."

"You just got divorced, but I don't see a trace of sadness on your face."

"In fact, you look happier than anyone else."

Koharu: "..."

Oh no, oh no. Could she have been found out?

Koharu's heart raced wildly, but she forced herself to keep her expression neutral.

She calmly explained:

"Allen and I were always more friends than lovers."

"What's wrong with me being happy?"

"Even if there wasn't love, nearly twenty years of familial bonds aren't fake."

"It's like me and Karl. We didn't have much love either."

"But he was my family."

"Losing him suddenly plunged me into a long period of grief."

"It took me years to gradually recover."

"Even though Allen isn't dead like Karl,"

"I think it should still take you a few months to return to normal."

"But it's only been a few days, and you're already acting like nothing happened."

"In fact, you're smiling even more than before."

"Koharu, don't you think that's suspicious?"

"Could it be that you, you pervert, finally couldn't control your desires and set your sights on Akira?"

"Did you drug him and secretly sleep with him?"

Karen's imagination ran wild as she theorized.

"What nonsense!"

"Karen, that's slander!"

"Complete and utter slander!"

"How could I possibly do something like that?"

Koharu was completely flustered. How could she do such a thing?

She wasn't stupid. With Akira's intelligence,

If she tried something like that, she'd be caught 100%.

And then Akira would definitely run away from home.

The correct approach was to indirectly confess her feelings to Akira through jokes, like she had been doing.

"So it's not that?"

"Then it must be that your relationship with Akira has unexpectedly deepened."

"After all, you still keep throwing yourself at Akira for hugs and kisses."

"Mother has privately expressed her concerns to me."

Koharu's purple eyes flickered with a hint of guilt.

Had even Mother noticed?

"Koharu, your expression is giving you away."

"I seriously suspect you deliberately steered Eriri toward becoming a doujinshi artist."

"As a doujinshi artist, Eriri would be much more accepting of such things."

"Karen, stop slandering me."

"That was Eriri's own talent. How could I have known she'd dive so deep into otaku culture?"

"Tch! I think you did it on purpose."

"I still haven't dared to tell Martha and Ellie about my sexual orientation."

Just like Koharu was a hidden fujoshi, Karen was actually a hidden lesbian.

"Little Ellie can't tolerate even a speck of dirt."

"Are you trying to cut ties with Ellie?"

"Koharu, it's been a while since we last slept together, hasn't it?"

Karen fondly remembered the days before they were married,

When they still lived in the Kujou residence.

She used to use her dear older sister as a human pillow.

But for Koharu, those days had been pure torture.

"Get away from me!"

"Untie me!"

"I don't want to sleep with someone who has such terrible sleeping habits."

Koharu panicked, unable to hide the fear on her face as she struggled and shouted.

After all, it had only been a day.

The marks on her body hadn't faded yet!

If Karen saw them, it would be over.

Karen raised an eyebrow. This was the first time she'd seen Koharu look so terrified.

*Sss—*

Could it be?

Did something really happen that shouldn't have?

To test her unbelievable theory,

Karen stepped forward, grabbed the collar of Koharu's purple kimono,

And with both hands, tore it apart.

*Rip!*

The purple kimono was instantly reduced to rags,

Revealing Koharu's fair skin covered in bruises and scratches.

A large hickey was planted on her snow-white collarbone.

"Koharu-nee, you've been acting so well!"

Karen's pupils shrank as if she'd seen something unbelievable, then she sneered mockingly.

"You're truly my sister. In terms of perversion, I bow to you."

"How dare you call me a pervert?"

Seeing Koharu, pale as a statue,

Karen's lips curled into a sly smile as she continued her verbal assault.

"You actually stole from your own family!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

"If Mother and Suou Yumi find out about this,"

"What do you think will happen?"

"No wonder Akira fell for Leonora at first sight."

"It's all because you corrupted him."

"I was wondering why Akira's sense of shame dropped so suddenly."

"Karen, enough. Name your terms."

"If you want to drive me to death, go ahead and tell everyone this secret."

After a moment of silence, Koharu's attitude suddenly changed as she countered with a threat of her own.

"Koharu, you're overthinking it."

"You're my dearest sister. How could I ever betray you?"

The more Karen spoke like this, the heavier Koharu's heart became.

"I'm planning to use this secret to control you for the rest of your life."

Koharu: "..."

Karen, you shameless woman!
