……

At noon, at Sanjiao's house.

"Chu Hua? Are you delivering lunchboxes today?"

Chapter 10 is Hatsune Miku's first chapter, and Hatsune Miku's first chapter.

Stepping out of the kitchen, looking at Chu Hua who was preparing to leave, Triangle's mother asked with some surprise.

"Well, hasn't my sister been bringing Dad lunchboxes these past few days? I was thinking of troubling her for so long, so it's my turn to repay her today~"

She tapped her toes on the ground, then playfully stuck out her tongue, her smile bright and sunny: "Besides, lying at home for a week, my body is practically rotting! This is the perfect opportunity to go straight to the fishing port to find Dad!"

"Oh, I see... Then be careful on your way home, don't push yourself too hard." The mother walked to the entrance, pressed her golden hair down with her sun hat, and carefully straightened her clothes, her eyes full of concern and affection. "I know you're very energetic, but you've just recovered from a serious illness, so please tone it down a bit, okay?"

Mikasa raised her fist with great enthusiasm: "I know~ I'm going to Tokyo to become an idol in the future, how could I be defeated by a mere cold!"

The mother raised her eyebrows slightly: "You've had a fever for almost a week, and you still dare to say it's just a common cold?"

Misaka Hatsuka gave a stubborn snort: "It wasn't me who said that! The doctor said it was just a common cold, but I don't know why it's lasted so long... Anyway, I'm perfectly fine now, so don't worry!"

After saying that, as if afraid that her mother would continue to nag, she pushed open the door and couldn't wait to run out into the bright sunshine.

Unfortunately, she hadn't taken more than a few steps when her mother called her back.

"By the way, where's Hatsune Miku? Did she go out to see that new friend again?"

Sanjiao Chuhua stopped and looked at her mother, her mouth slightly open as if she wanted to say something.

But before she could finish speaking, she smiled and replied casually, "Yes, they have a great relationship! This is the first time I've ever seen my sister so happy."

"Hatsune Miku, she..."

These words made the mother in the triangle turn slightly pale, and she bit her lip with some reluctance.

Perhaps recalling some painful past event, she lowered her eyes, sighed, then turned her head away, seemingly comforting herself with a muttered monologue:

"Never mind, that child is precocious and opinionated, she probably won't hang out with strange people... Well, as long as she's happy."

If this had happened during the time when the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family came to vacation, she might have been more anxious and tried to find out more about the situation.

Fortunately, the Toyokawa family left a week ago.

Since that's the case, there's no need to worry too much. Let Hatsune Miku do what she wants to do.

As long as... she can avoid getting involved with that Miss Xiangzi.

The mother patted her chest, barely managing to calm her sullen and chaotic emotions.

Perhaps it was out of guilt, or perhaps it was out of complicated feelings for the Toyokawa family.

Even if my ten-year-old daughter suddenly starts going out every day and not coming back until evening, even if she starts getting up early to make breakfast for a new friend.

Even her expression when she said the other person was a girl was so suspicious that it was obvious she was hiding something—

The mother in the triangle never pressed for details, and rarely worried about the possibility that her daughter might be abducted or deceived by unknown people.

after all……

"Don't worry, there are no bad people on this island!" Misaka Hatsuka confidently patted her chest, though it was baseless, she spoke with absolute certainty. "Besides, I know Hatsune's friends, they're definitely not suspicious people! I'll take good care of Hatsune for Mom!"

"Ah That's good."

The mother smiled with relief, saw her daughter off as she happily left, and then returned to the kitchen to continue her chores.

-

After rushing towards the fishing port and delivering the bento to her father who had returned from fishing, Mikasa Hatsuka returned to town and wandered aimlessly through every corner of the streets.

Bookstores, libraries, cafes, music stores, music and video stores...

She had searched every place where her sister was likely to appear, but she still couldn't find her.

"They're nowhere to be found... Where did they go?"

Wiping the sweat from her brow and taking a few refreshing sips of ice-cold mineral water, Misaka Chuka grumbled somewhat discontentedly, "They said they didn't know where they were going today, they must have been lying... They were just afraid that once I recovered, I would secretly follow them and ruin their date!"

Although she is indeed doing that now.

But it's clearly wrong to be wary of your own older sister first!

She wasn't really going to be a third wheel; she just wanted to see just how handsome the prince charming who had her sister so infatuated with him and always had a silly grin on his face really was!

Also, we need to confirm whether the other party is deceiving my sister's feelings—if so, she will definitely tell our parents and the police to protect her.

If not, as the younger sister, she would naturally offer her sincere blessings to her older sister's relationship.

"Honestly, can't family members trust each other more?"

While complaining, Sankaku Hatsuka glanced briefly at the shops on both sides of the street.

She naturally saw the only internet cafe in town, but in her mind, her well-behaved and quiet sister, who would never dare to do anything bad, would never step into an internet cafe, let alone go on a date with anyone there.

So, naturally ignoring the past, she headed straight for the clothing store on the other side, and even pretended to be a stalker, sneaking around outside for a while before daring to go in and search.

Naturally, they gained nothing.

As evening approached, Misaka Hatsuka decided to abandon her plan to follow them on their date and instead lay in ambush on the road where they were stargazing.

Of course, my sister didn't reveal the location for stargazing either; when I asked her last night, she easily brushed it off with a few words.

But she knew it was the best stargazing spot in town, and also where her sister often went to relax.

There aren't many roads leading to the top of the mountain. If you just stake out the area for a while, you're sure to catch them wandering off somewhere!

With renewed vigor, Sanjiao Chuhua, drenched in healthy, energetic sweat, quickly ran to the edge of the forest and found a secluded spot to hide.

This time, she didn't have to wait long.

On the street bathed in the gentle glow of the setting sun, a familiar figure, strikingly similar to himself, strolled hand in hand with a tall, handsome young man.

More like siblings with a very close relationship than lovers.

"I knew it! I'm so smart!"

Feeling smug about her foresight, Mitsumi Hatsuka hid herself even more deeply, only revealing her eyes, which she boldly and curiously stared at the boy next to her sister.

My gaze swept over his long legs, narrow waist, and broad shoulders, finally settling on his angular yet refined and elegant profile.

Like a face reddened by the slanting rays of the setting sun, a hazy, dreamy blush gradually spread across it.

The girl's heart pounded so hard that she unconsciously gripped her collar, realizing for the first time the 'attraction' between men and women.

"So, my sister wasn't lying after all..."

"That older brother is not only so handsome, but his demeanor is also completely different from everyone else on the island... Is this the legendary 'Tokyo heartthrob'?"

Model? Idol? Star?

No, compared to all the handsome men I've seen in magazines and on TV, he has a more captivating aura that makes you want to get closer, to stare at his smile in a daze...

Perhaps this is what they call love at first sight?

Sanjiao Chuhua's face flushed red, and she felt her heart beating faster and faster, but she couldn't bear to take her eyes off him.

At the same time, another feeling, like stomach acid rising, made her subconsciously bite her lip, not wanting the acidic breath to erode the tip of her nose.

"How cunning..."

"Too cunning..."

"Why can only my sister do it? I want to play with him too..."

"She's always bragging about what she did with him, and even on the last day, she didn't want me to see him, like she was afraid I'd steal him away... Sister, you're so cunning!"

Her resentment was like a volcano about to erupt in her chest; she almost couldn't resist the strong urge to jump out from behind the cover to confront her sister and introduce herself to that person.

But before that, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

Seemingly remembering something urgent, the older sister stopped in a panic, said a few words to the older brother Narumi, and then turned and ran back the way she came.

Narumi wanted to leave with her, but she persuaded him to stay put. He could only watch her leave with a bit of helplessness, then shook his head, found a street lamp to lean against, and started playing with his phone out of boredom.

Upon seeing this, Misaka Hatsuka's eyes lit up instantly, and her joyful mood flowed like blood to her limbs, filling her small body with vitality once again.

"My sister's gone, what a great opportunity!"

Although I don't know how long my sister will be gone, or what I'll say when I finally meet him.

But Sanjiao Chuhua's little brain doesn't think that much.

Now, looking around at the Tokyo heartthrob who seemed to be waiting for someone to approach him, there was no one else around.

Only one thought remained in her mind—

While my sister is away, I'll become good friends with that older brother and leave an impression that's just as good as my sister's!

Without hesitation, Sanjiao Chuhua turned around and walked into the alley, then made several turns before emerging from the direction her sister had left in.

Pretending to be like Hatsune Miku who had just left and returned, she jogged toward the boy under the streetlight.

-

"Oh no, I think I left my keys at the supermarket!"

After leaving the internet cafe, the two did not immediately go to the mountaintop to see the stars, but instead went to the supermarket to buy some picnic supplies.

Some instant food, drinks, a small lamp, a picnic blanket, and even Miku Miku wanted to go home to get a handheld telescope, but Narumi stopped her, somewhat speechless.

After preparing for stargazing that night, the two headed straight for the entrance to the forest, their hands unconsciously intertwining.

Although they were more like a brother and sister with a very good relationship than a loving couple... Misaki Miku was completely enveloped by an overwhelming sense of happiness and just kept smiling foolishly for a long time.

I then realized that I had apparently accidentally dropped my keys on the supermarket's packing counter.

"I'll go with you to look for it."

"No, this is my own problem, I can't trouble Narumi-nii!" Misaki Misaki's refusal was very firm, clearly not wanting her mistake to make him run around for nothing. "Please wait here for me, I'll be right back! Even if I can't find the key, I'll be back within ten minutes!"

After saying that, the girl turned and left.

The way she ran with all her might completely changed Narumi's impression of her as a well-behaved and quiet girl.

"At such a young age, he's incredibly stubborn about this kind of thing..."

Shaking his head helplessly, feeling that following her would only increase her guilt, Narumi simply found a street lamp to lean against and casually scrolled through his phone to pass the time while waiting.

But it seemed that less than a minute had passed when the same figure jogged back from the end of the road.

"You got the key so quickly?" Narumi was somewhat taken aback, glancing at the time subconsciously, his expression becoming even more subtle. "Seriously, are the residents of Shodoshima all monsters? Even a world sprint champion wouldn't be this fast, right? I won't watch the next Olympics without you..."

Of course, that's what he thought. He knew the most likely scenario was that the girl suddenly realized the key was in the other pocket, so she turned back halfway.

He put away his phone and looked at the small, lively figure with its back to the setting sun.

"Brother Narumi—"

A familiar voice, familiar blonde hair and purple eyes, and a familiar way of addressing him.

Sanjiao Chuhua blushed and waved her arms to greet him.

Narumi didn't think much of it, put away his phone, and was about to ask her what was going on when...

The system panel popped up automatically, and a notification that I hadn't seen in a long time came into view.

[Phase One: Seeing is believing – Achievement complete.]

[Reward: Special Ability. (Once per world line.)]

[The reward has been issued. Please check it yourself.]

Narumi was stunned for less than a second before he immediately came to his senses.

He swiped the system panel to the corner of his field of vision, then glanced at the girl with a subtle look, scrutinizing her from head to toe in a very quick motion.

Then a question slowly arose in my mind—

Are those two sisters really not twins?

Aside from some differences in temperament, and the fact that 'Triangle Hatsuka' has fairer skin, these two sisters, who are only a year apart in age, look about 80% alike.

At least at first glance, people who are not particularly familiar with them would definitely not be able to see any obvious differences.

Then, considering that "Hatsuka Misaki" is the illegitimate daughter of the Toyokawa family head and his butler, and the girl in front of them is the butler's daughter with a fisherman on the island...

Narumi couldn't help but wonder just how strong the former butler's genes were to be able to produce daughters that looked so similar to different men.

It is a miracle of biology.
