Chapter 265: Even If It's My Sister, I Don't Want to Share!
Soon, Yurine arrived at the ranch with Petra.
Ryohei Tanaka met up with them, and together with Lucoa, Jashin-chan, Yusa, and Pino, who were already at the ranch, the group of seven followed Mino to tour the hot spring house, the complex building, the three homestay cottages, and the staff dormitory.
First, they visited the Japanese-style hot spring house, then the modern-style complex building, followed by the three homestay cottages—
It is worth mentioning that each cottage was separated by lush green plant walls, creating independent spaces with excellent privacy. Both the exterior design and interior decoration were very distinctive, and Ryohei Tanaka was quite satisfied with them.
Finally, the group arrived at the staff dormitory—a three-story ancient castle with a blue roof and white walls.
The internal layout of the castle was distinct. The first floor housed a hot spring bathhouse, a laundry room, a drying room, a utility room, a kitchen, and a dining room. The second floor had six bedrooms, and the third floor also had six bedrooms.
Each bedroom was equipped with a basic toilet, washbasin, and shower room.
Yurine was excited as she looked around and turned to ask Ryohei Tanaka, "Ryohei-kun, when are we moving here?"
She had never lived in a castle before. They had agreed earlier that they would move in together to experience it once it was built.
"How about this Sunday?"
Ryohei Tanaka thought for a moment and replied. He wasn't free tomorrow, so Sunday was the only option.
"That works too."
Yurine nodded gently and agreed readily.
"Am I moving here too?"
Jashin-chan listened to their conversation and pointed at herself.
Ryohei Tanaka glanced at her and said casually, "Up to you."
Anyway, there were currently spare rooms. If Jashin-chan wanted to move, she could; Ryohei Tanaka had no objections.
"Then I'll move here," the scum snake said immediately.
She was used to living with Ryohei Tanaka and the others. Plus, being close to the water gets you the moonlight first—living together meant she could share in any benefits.
For example, when they lived together before, she got to eat much better food than Pekola, Yusa, and the others.
Seeing this, Mino spoke up, "Persephone II and I will move here too."
The Minotaur simply wanted to live with everyone, feeling that more people would make it livelier.
"You certainly can't leave me out!"
Lucoa said with a smile, her tone carrying a hint that refusal was not an option.
Seeing her sister speak up, Petra immediately followed suit.
"Uh... You all want to move here? It seems there might not be enough rooms to go around."
Ryohei Tanaka showed a look of surprise as everyone chimed in to say they wanted to move in.
His original plan was to have the three angels, Binchoutan, the zombie sisters, and the ice clan sisters move here together.
With one room per person, that would take up eight rooms.
He and Yurine would share a room. The remaining three—Lucoa, Petra, Jashin-chan, Mino, and Persephone II...
There simply weren't enough rooms!
"Okay, in that case... we'll have to ask those who have sisters to make a small sacrifice and bunk together."
Ryohei Tanaka spread his hands and looked at Yusa as he spoke.
Yusa smiled gently and said, "Yukionna-chan and I have no objections; it's not a sacrifice."
"Yusa, you really are an angel!"
Ryohei Tanaka exclaimed softly with emotion.
"..." The real angel, Pino, half-closed her eyes and looked askance at Ryohei Tanaka—I'm the angel, right?
That one is a demon!
"My sister and I have no objections either," Petra suddenly said from the side.
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Lucoa looked at her sister as if she wanted to say something but stopped. After hesitating again and again, she still stabbed her in the back:
"I have no objections, but I'd still prefer a separate bedroom..."
Otherwise, how much would it affect her sneaking around for "snacks"! She couldn't do it right in front of her sister; that would be somewhat inappropriate!
Besides, what if her sister got excited watching and joined the battle...
(;￣ー￣川
There wasn't enough for herself to eat!
Even if it's my sister, I don't want to share!
"Stare—!"
Petra puffed out her cheeks slightly and stared unblinkingly at Lucoa.
"..."
Lucoa looked away guiltily, pretended to put her hands behind her back, and examined the room in front of her.
"Then Persephone II and I will share a room."
Seeing this, Mino placed her hand on her ample chest and volunteered.
She and Persephone II weren't biological sisters, but they were closer than sisters.
They usually lived together, so living together later wouldn't be a problem. It would actually be convenient for her to drag the other out for morning exercises.
Mino had always been very serious and responsible about the task entrusted to her by her teacher.
Thanks to this, Persephone II's physical fitness had improved significantly, and she hadn't vomited blood from weakness for a long time.
"That works too."
Ryohei Tanaka's gaze towards Mino softened unconsciously, and he said gently, "In that case, we have enough rooms..."
"..."
By this time, the tour was almost over, and the group walked downstairs together.
While going downstairs, Ryohei Tanaka transferred the construction payment to Mino.
Mino glanced at her phone, smiled, and said, "Received." Then she looked at Ryohei Tanaka and said in a crisp voice:
"Ryohei-kun, I'd like to ask for some time off now. Later, I plan to take Uozumi and the others to tour Tokyo, have a meal, and drink some sake."
Uozumi was the team leader of the Matsuya Group's construction team—the tall fishman wearing a suit, with a blue-green fish head and a neck as thick as his head, covered in scales.
"Sure!"
Ryohei Tanaka naturally had no objections. Mino and her team had indeed worked hard during this period.
It was rare for the Matsuya Group's construction team to come to the human world. It was understandable for them to tour around, have a meal, and drink some sake after finishing their work.
"If you need anything, contact Lucoa or Petra yourself."
Ryohei Tanaka was referring to opening a spatial portal to travel between the two places.
"Okay~." Mino agreed with a bright smile, planning to contact Lucoa later since she knew her better.
Jashin-chan pointed at herself to Mino and said:
"I was responsible for your three meals during this time. Surely you have to bring me along for the celebration banquet, right?"
"I have no objections," Mino replied cheerfully, casting a questioning glance at Ryohei Tanaka.
Ryohei Tanaka walked out of the castle, noticed her gaze, and said casually, "Then take her along, let her join in the fun."
Anyway, they weren't scheduled for any shifts this week.
It wouldn't affect anything.
"Alright," Mino nodded gently and agreed.
