"So——"

Qingdeng continued the words in a firm tone.

"I want to marry you... all four of us."

"I don't plan to say too many disgusting words that will make people's skin crawl. Anyway, can you give me a chance?"

"Let me be your support."

"Let me bring you happiness."

A confession without any pretense.

Although he has no skills, he is full of emotions.

This is in line with Qingdeng's personality that he doesn't like to talk in a roundabout way, but only likes to talk about things.

Kinoshita Mai, Chiba Sanako, Okita Souji... Marry the girls you love and live a happy life with them - Aoto's determination is very serious!

In order to achieve this goal, which is not difficult and ambitious in the eyes of outsiders, the first and most difficult problem to solve is how to convince those three girls.

To put it simply: How can three girls with very different personalities, each with a strong personality, marry Qingdeng together willingly?

If this problem is not solved, nothing else can be discussed.

So, just as Qingteng said just now, he will take advantage of this rare opportunity to show his cards directly to the General Secretary! Directly reveal his... true intentions and "ambitions"!

To be honest, as soon as he said the words, Qingden was already prepared to be rolled his eyes, or even scolded and slapped angrily by the chief executive.

After all...there are lessons learned from past mistakes!

Recalling the time when he gave a similar confession to Kinoshita Mai and Sanako... Although the two of them did not engage in any extreme behavior such as beating or scolding, they still showed... indescribable expressions to Qingnobo.

Aomori still remembers the looks that Sanako and Mai Kinoshita gave him at that time, as if to say "Hey, aren't you..."...

Although Aoto didn't think that Souji, who had a cheerful and energetic personality, would do anything more outrageous than Sanako and Mai Kinoshita, for the sake of safety, it was better to prepare for the worst.

There is a saying: the more positive a person is in daily life, the easier it is for him to become evil.

This kind of people are fine if they don't turn black. Once they turn black... they will often reveal a rather terrifying side...

As a result, Qingdeng did not wait for the "violent storm".

What he was waiting for... was "bright sunshine".

"...Pfft."

Souji blinked his beautiful eyes blankly a few times, then covered his mouth with his hand in a cute gesture.

A sweet laughter like a silver bell leaked out from between the lips, teeth and fingers of the Souji.

This string of laughter seemed to contain a different kind of magic power. It floated gently and melodiously around Aomori and Souji, bringing a refreshing atmosphere to this quiet room surrounded by night.

"Ji Jun, I saw your serious face and thought you were going to say something. It turns out you just wanted to talk about this."

Qingdeng opened his mouth dumbfounded.

——Miss Okita...did you understand what I just said?

In order to confirm the answer to this question, Qingdeng lowered his voice and asked tentatively:

"Um...Miss Okita, did you hear clearly what I just said?"

"Huh? Of course I heard you clearly."

The Souji tilted his head and continued with a matter-of-fact expression:

"I'm not deaf, so if you sit right in front of me, there's no chance that you can't hear your voice clearly at such a short distance, right?"

"Isn't it because you like me? Sanako and Miss Kinoshita want the four of us to get married together and live a life together without being ashamed."

The last two modifiers: sleeping together and being shameless are redundant...

Other than that, the content is generally correct.

The DG's reaction was too calm.

It was so calm that Qingden was surprised.

"Ji Jun, I am quite good at observing people's emotions."

Souji seemed to see through Qingdeng's doubts at this moment. She seemed to chew every word and said slowly:

"I noticed a long time ago, Mr. Tachibana, that the way you looked at Sanako and Miss Kinoshita was very different from the way you looked at other people."

"So I guessed: Tachibana-kun, you probably like Sanako and Miss Kinoshita."

"Now it seems that it is really the case."

The Souji smiled brightly and then changed into a teasing tone.

"Ji Jun, you are so greedy~~ You actually want to marry so many girls at once."

"Openness in word and deed is one of my greatest strengths."

After making a witty remark that was neither salty nor light, Qingdeng let out a long breath.

"So...Miss Okita, what is your answer?"

"Huh?"

"Are you willing to marry me on the condition that I will marry another girl?"

Qingden looked straight into the eyes of the General Secretary.

A posture that will never give up until a clear answer is obtained.

The General Secretary no longer avoided looking at Qingdeng out of shyness as he did just now.

Her eyes, which are so clear that one can't help but think of the clear summer sky, clearly reflected Qingdeng's figure.

"Ju Jun, let me ask one more question: Since you want to marry so many girls, who do you want to make your wife?"

Qingdeng shook his head without any hesitation:

"There is no main wife... No, that's not right, everyone is the main wife."

"Everyone is the royal wife?" the chief executive raised his eyebrows.

"You are all the girls I love. If any of you are left out or wronged, it will make me feel heartache. Therefore, I don't want to behave like the main wife and the side room, and I will never do that.

Excessive preference for any one of you, all of you are equal, and no one will be superior or inferior in the 'Orange Family'."

"Not standing at attention in the side room... Mr. Tachibana, what you are doing is already going against common sense."

"So what?"

Qingden grinned nonchalantly.

"We are not the first wife, but at the same time we are all the first wife... Hahaha, this approach is very unique to you."

The commander-in-chief laughed heartily.

Just then, when Souji's laughter gradually stopped...she suddenly changed the subject:

"But... is this really good?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Put me, Sanako, and Miss Kinoshita as the principal wives, and let me be on an equal footing with them... Are you really sure you want to do this?"

"Of course it's confirmed. Didn't I tell you everything? I won't let anyone have an too high or too low status in the 'Tachibana family'. Miss Okita, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Qingdeng frowned in confusion.

"..."

Souji bit his lip with wandering eyes.

"...Tachibana-kun, you are so considerate."

"Considerate?"

Qingdeng recalled for a moment, unable to think of anything he had just done that could be called "considerate."

"When you proposed to me, you actually thoughtfully mentioned: You will marry other girls... You don't need to say so much to people like me."

——A person like me?

Qingnobo keenly felt that Souji's current mood seemed a bit... strange.

"I'm not the only one for you... To be honest, this really makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

"But, who am I to interfere with your marriage?"

The Souji showed a... quite charming expression that was mixed with self-deprecation and helplessness.

"Tachibana-kun, you have become the world-famous 'Benevolent King', but I... am still that ordinary girl with no talents except swordsmanship."

"It is only normal for a talented person like you to have three wives and four concubines, and to marry a girl who is more attractive and outstanding than me."

"You didn't treat me differently just because I was an ordinary girl. Instead, you said you liked me... To say you were flattered might be an exaggeration, but it really surprised me."

"After all, you see."
