“Cheng, try this!”
Ran Mori thought the takoyaki made by Mrs. Kikaawa was delicious.
So, she picked one up with chopsticks and skillfully fed it to Akiya Cheng.
Wakamatsu Toshihide watched Ran Mori feed Akiya Cheng, his heart filled with envy.
“Damn it, I want a cute girl to feed me too.”
As the partygoers became more familiar with each other, the atmosphere warmed up.
Wakamatsu Toshihide decided to show off his muscular strength.
“Hey kid, let’s arm wrestle!”
He challenged Akiya Cheng.
He thought to himself, since Ran Mori and this kid are a couple.
Then he'll try to pursue Sonoko? Hmm, first he'll show his manly side.
Wakamatsu Toshihide thought simply in his heart.
Akiya Cheng, besides his demonic physique far surpassing normal humans, also had the power attribute he gained from the lottery.
Wanting to compare strength with him, this big guy was asking for trouble.
Akiya Cheng, who had agreed, didn't show any strong performance.
He even looked a little strained, and had to lower his other hand to the table.
Sonoko, who had originally been worried about disturbing Akiya Cheng.
Suddenly found that her retracted foot was being held by Akiya Cheng.
On the surface, it seemed like he was trying hard to arm wrestle with Wakamatsu Toshihide.
But under the table, he was calmly exploring uncharted territory.
Seeing everyone's attention focused on the two arm wrestling.
Sonoko Suzuki's face was a little unnatural.
She couldn't help but purse her lips.
Even though everyone's cheers were quite loud.
She didn't dare let herself make a sound.

“What a pity!”
Wakamatsu Toshihide regretted his defeat, feeling a little annoyed.
“I never would have guessed, kid, you're so strong!”
Akiya Cheng also put on a strained look.
He naturally raised his other hand from the table.
“Well, I actually put in a lot of effort too!”
Because Akiya Cheng won, Ran Mori turned her head to see Sonoko Suzuki with genuine joy.
It seemed like she was blushing from tension for Akiya Cheng, and she even let out a sigh.
She couldn’t help but smile, why did Sonoko seem to be putting in more effort than Cheng?
Afterwards, Wakamatsu Toshihide lost, and because Kikaawa Katsuki, who was drunk, made a sarcastic remark, the two friends had a little verbal conflict.
This cooled the atmosphere of the party, which had been fairly lively.
However, as Mrs. Kikaawa brought coffee and dessert cake to the table.
The atmosphere gradually eased.
Everyone began to enjoy the coffee and cake.
Sonoko Suzuki carefully glanced at Ran Mori with her beautiful eyes.
She found Ran Mori, who loved sweets, holding a piece of cake.
Sonoko Suzuki felt a strange excitement surge through her heart.
A blush passed over her cheeks.
She carefully and eagerly continued her previous behavior.
“Sonoko?”
“Sonoko!”
A few minutes later, Sonoko Suzuki came back to her senses.
She found that Ran Mori was calling her and hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong, Ran?”
“It’s Mrs. Kikaawa, she asked why you only had coffee and didn’t eat cake? Don't you like it?”
Sonoko Suzuki finally saw Mrs. Kikaawa looking at her with a worried expression.
“No, I just ate a little too much, now I’ll have some!”
Finding out it wasn’t Ran Mori who discovered her actions under the table, Sonoko Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief.
Because all her attention was under the table just now.
So she completely ignored what others were saying.
Since leaving the cafe that day.
She occasionally reminisced about the time she was carrying Ran Mori on her back.
And the scene of kissing Akiya Cheng.
That stimulating feeling of betrayal and doing something bad, she was a little fascinated by it.
Today, she also remembered a scene she had seen in a comic book.
Then she impulsively recreated the scene.
On the other side, Mrs. Kikaawa was panicking.
When she saw Sonoko Suzuki eat the cake, she calmed down.
She had put the poison in the coffee.
And the antidote was in the cake.
She knew Kikaawa Katsuki hated sweets, so she planned to murder him.
But she didn't expect that Sonoko Suzuki hadn't eaten any cake.
It scared her.
Originally, she just wanted to poison Kikaawa Katsuki, and then frame Watanabe Yoshimi.
Because Watanabe Yoshimi liked Kikaawa Katsuki, she would definitely find a chance to give him chocolate on Valentine's Day.
Then, she could find a way to replace the chocolate Watanabe Yoshimi gave Kikaawa Katsuki with the same poisoned chocolate.
But if Sonoko Suzuki also died, she would have no scapegoat.
It couldn't be Watanabe Yoshimi who murdered Sonoko Suzuki, who she had just met for the first time.
After the murder happened, the police who came to investigate might find out something.
Just as Mrs. Kikaawa had expected.
Because he knew he didn't like sweets, yet she had prepared so many sweets.
This made Kikaawa Katsuki extremely dissatisfied with his adoptive aunt, Mrs. Kikaawa.
While everyone was eating cake and coffee, he went out to the yard alone to smoke.
Watanabe Yoshimi followed him out with the chocolate.
Then, a few minutes later.
There were cries of Kikaawa Katsuki’s pain and Watanabe Yoshimi’s terror.
The excited Mrs. Kikaawa, in the first place, rushed into the yard before anyone else.
Her plan had succeeded!
