My girlfriend is actually myself.

Chapter 27 War Correspondent Airi

For centuries, the Asakura family had followed the Tsukimiya family. Although no one in recent generations had been particularly successful, they had maintained a relatively affluent standard of living, residing in a large single-level apartment in a tower.

Unlike across the sea, in Tokyo, tower buildings were once the preferred residences of the wealthy. Gazing at Mount Fuji from the tower's enormous glass windows was a life goal for many elites.

Airi Asakura had no interest in Mount Fuji outside the window, especially since it was late at night and nothing could be seen in the distance.

She had just finished showering, her warm body wrapped around a giraffe pillow, her arms holding her phone, her face full of confusion.

Yuko Takahashi hasn't replied to her messages yet.

Although she didn't have time to go to the convenience store this week, she chatted enthusiastically with Yuko Takahashi on Line, and Yuko Takahashi would tell her everything about the store.

This includes Yukimiya Natsune's regular work at the convenience store, and the girl's romance with another employee, whom they nicknamed "Boyfriend A," a rather poetic nickname.

It was only after Yuko Takahashi revealed this that Airi Asakura learned that Natsume Yukimiya had such a boyfriend. She probably said she was covering for a friend's shift because of him.

What a coincidence! Yukimiya works there, her boyfriend A works there, and Shiraishi-kun works there too!

Speaking of Shiraishi-kun, she had tried to talk to him several times this week, going through various channels, including Yamashita Asami and Inoue Kaito, to arrange a meeting, but still without success.

Shiraishi-kun always seemed very busy, leaving right after school without stopping, still ignoring others and minding his own business, especially towards her.

Airi Asakura felt that it must be a problem with the location; the school's feng shui was bad and unfavorable to her relationship.

She wanted a change of scenery, like a convenience store. Yukimiya and her boyfriend A's relationship was progressing smoothly at the convenience store, and she wanted to share in their good fortune. Besides, only the convenience store offered a stable connection with Shiraishi-kun!

She devised a detailed plan and decided to start with her colleagues—she would also work at a convenience store, and at the same time as Shiraishi-kun.

At that time, this convenience store will become the dating spot for her and Shiraishi-kun, and for Yukimiya-chan and her boyfriend A!

This plan wouldn't have been possible without the support of convenience store owner Yuko Takahashi, so Airi Asakura would chat with Yuko Takahashi whenever she had free time, trying to get closer to her.

According to her original plan, she should start preparing for a part-time job now, but she really hasn't had any free time lately. For some reason, Lady Moon Palace is inviting her over for dinner every night, which is causing her a lot of distress.

Madam, you don't have a man to date, but I'm about to!

Airi Asakura was heartbroken to see her perfect plan fall apart, but what could a mere maid like her do? She could only abandon the plan and look for another way.

Just now, she asked Yuko Takahashi about Shiraishi-kun for the first time on Line.

She hadn't originally planned to mention Shiraishi-kun; she hadn't even told Yukimiya Natsune!

She originally planned to carry out the plan quietly, and then boast to Takahashi Yuuko and Yukimiya Natsune after everything had settled down and the prey was caught.

But plans often go awry, and who knows when his wife will finally let him off the hook? He has no choice but to confront her directly and seek their help. He'll start with Yuko Takahashi!

She knew that once Shiraishi-kun was mentioned, her thoughts would not escape Takahashi Yuko's notice, but she did not expect Takahashi Yuko's reaction to be so intense.

When she asked him, the other person didn't reply for more than ten minutes, asking her how she and Shiraishi-kun met. She suppressed her shyness and revealed her feelings. But the other person was silent for another ten minutes before asking her if Yukimiya Natsune knew.

She replied that she hadn't told Yukimiya yet.

The chat history on her phone ended there. She cleaned the room, took a shower, and rolled around on the bed dozens of times, but still didn't receive a reply.

What happened? Airi Asakura was completely baffled.

Could it be that Manager Takahashi is also planning to make a move against Shiraishi-kun?

Or is it that Yukimiya-chan and Shiraishi-kun have a grudge? Does Manager Takahashi not want her caught in the middle?

Or perhaps she's overthinking it, and Manager Takahashi is busy?

Please reply quickly!

She sat up, placed her phone on the bed in front of her, closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and began to pray.

The phone rang suddenly, and she opened her eyes in surprise, but after glancing at the screen, she was greatly disappointed.

The caller was my own mother.

"Moshi Moshi?" She swiped to answer the call.

The mother's voice came through the speaker: "That girl you mentioned last time who looked like a young lady, what's her name?"

"It's Yukimiya Natsume, Mom. Why are you suddenly asking this?" Asakura Airi asked, puzzled.

"Madam, now that you mention this, I remember you brought it up before," the mother said seriously.

"I didn't tell Madam!" Airi Asakura immediately retorted.

"I know it wasn't you who said it. Madam said she's been observing the other person for many days..."

The mother's voice stopped abruptly, as if she were talking to the madam. After a while, the voice came from the loudspeaker again: "The madam wants you to come over."

After hanging up the phone, Airi Asakura had no mind to care about Yuko Takahashi anymore. She hurriedly changed her clothes and took the elevator downstairs.

In the lobby on the first floor, the receptionist greeted her with a smile, and she responded absentmindedly.

At the door, the car sent by the lady had arrived. She sat in the back seat, nervously watching the scenery moving outside the window.

Why did you suddenly ask about Yukimiya-chan? What are you planning to do?

Mom said that the lady has been observing Yukimiya-chan for many days. Did she observe her at the convenience store?

Airi Asakura thought of the noblewoman Yuko Takahashi had mentioned. Could that be the lady?

Thinking of this, Airi Asakura felt a little resentful.

Madam, you should have told me sooner! I would have volunteered to be a war correspondent and infiltrate the convenience store for you!

……

Without Sakura Nene's interference, Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune continued to explore their abilities.

Twins also follow the principle of use and disuse; the more they use their limbs, the more flexible they become; the more they use their brains, the more adept they become; and the more a girl's body is used, the more skillful it becomes.

The word "用" here is used in its ordinary literal sense.

From two brains working together to control one body, allowing each hand to do its own thing, to mobilizing brain computing power, neural responses, and five senses to greatly enhance a body's mental capacity, reaction ability, and perception, these abilities are initially quite obscure, but become more and more convenient with use.

On the bed, Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune sat facing each other, their hands resting on each other's shoulders as they slowly drew closer. Their foreheads touched, their brown eyes meeting each other's azure eyes, their pupils reflecting each other's colors.

Their eyelids slowly closed, and the attention of both bodies focused on their own minds, their thoughts emptied, and their senses went silent.

The warm touch on their foreheads became their only sensation, a sensation that grew more and more concrete and expansive, like a door through which everything between them was connected.

This is not a sharing of thoughts, nor is it a shared feeling; rather, it is a deeper and more profound connection.

It is an essential part of the human body, a kind of entanglement of neuronal electrical signals.

All their thoughts and feelings, like the currents of the deep sea, blended and flowed together, inseparable.

An idea flashed through their minds.

This state might be what they were in when they split up.

Shiraishi Saku opened his eyes and looked at the girl's body, whose eyes were still tightly closed.

In this state, he might be able to reverse the twins, reverse the split that night, and let the girl's body return to his body.

The girl's eyes remained closed. They were a group, and she had no objection to whatever Shiraishi Saku wanted to do.

Shiraishi Shuo raised his hand and pinched the girl's cheek. The girl opened her bright blue eyes and blinked at him.

"Go to sleep." Bai Shishuo hugged her and snuggled into the covers.
