Is this mangaka crazy?

When Kaito shouted "brother," everyone present was stunned.

Including Sakura and Ren.

Ren even blinked. 'Could he be a relative of the original body?'

He didn't know. When his soul occupied this body, he had no family around him.

Not only did he have no family, but he appeared in the wilderness outside Tokyo. It was pouring rain. He had nothing on him except the clothes and shoes he was wearing.

Ren only took out his ID and a few hundred yen from his pocket, and he knew that the name of this body was the same as his.

But apart from that, he didn't inherit any of the original body's memories. He didn't know

where the original body lived or where his family was.

Then he lived under the bridge for a few days, and then took a few hundred yen to rent the original house in a nearby place.

And no need to say much about what happened next. It was merely awakening the System, using the remaining money to buy drawing paper and brushes, and beginning the path of creation.

And now someone suddenly appeared and called him "brother"? Ren was a little worried. After all, with his personality and the idea of going home, he definitely didn't want to have contact with the original body's relatives.

To be honest, he was a little happy to find that his original body seemed to have no family.

This way, he wouldn't be limited by his family in anything he did.

But now, he suddenly discovered that his original body did have family, and he coincidentally met them.

Isn't this looking for trouble? The most important thing is that he occupied someone else's body. If he were truly an orphan, it would be fine.

But the original body is not an orphan. Once the original body's family comes knocking, he can't just ignore them, right?

The favor will be remembered for a thousand years. After all, he has occupied someone else's body for a long time. He can't be that cruel, can he? Ren is very conflicted.

At that moment, Sakura heard Kaito call him "brother" and quickly approached: "Kaito... Is Ren your brother?"

"Ren-san?"

However, upon hearing the name, Kaito hesitated: "My brother... Should I say my cousin's name is Kaito Sato? How is that possible?"

He looked at Ren again, and the outline of his face was indeed very similar to that of his cousin, whom he admired so much.

His cousin disappeared right after the incident with his second uncle, second aunt, and younger brother.

No one could contact him, and no one knew where he went.

Two years have passed.

However, how could his young, talented, solemn, and upright cousin have such loose, messy hair, and also look so disheveled? A person can look very similar, can change hairstyles, but it's absolutely impossible to be different, with different expressions and behaviors.

'Is it... really just an appearance?'

Ren immediately felt relieved. The name on the original ID was Ren Amamiya, not Kaito Sato.

It seemed he simply recognized the wrong person.

It's not that he had met some relative of the original body.

"Then it must be a mistake. The name Ren Amamiya is on my ID," Ren said with a chuckle.

He also took out his ID and showed it to Sakura and Kaito.

Upon hearing what Ren said, for some reason, Sakura felt a little strange.

Seeing that the name on the ID was indeed Ren Amamiya, she felt a little disappointed.

If Ren was really Kaito's cousin, it proved that Ren was not an orphan and had relatives. That would be great.

But Kaito was stunned when he saw the photo on Ren's ID.

Because the Ren Amamiya in the photo was actually his cousin Kaito Sato.

But why...?

Seeing Ren, who seemed relaxed, Kaito hesitated to speak, but he didn't continue to ask.

"Isn't it a good day for dinner?"

Ren waved his hand and said excitedly: "Let's go, and I hope you won't despise me for being a young man!"

Mio imperceptibly pursed her lips and then said: "Yes, yes, let's go, I'm starving."

"Alright, let's go."

Although Sakura felt some pity that Ren hadn't found his family, she said with a smile.

Kaito was worried at that moment, very conflicted.

But in the end, he decided not to ask further.

'Why not wait until I get home and tell my father about this in person, and then confirm if the Ren Amamiya in front of me is his lost cousin, Kaito Sato?'

Everyone headed to the dining room. Along the way, Riko started chatting with Hiroshi about Yuki and Sakura.

After Riko started a conversation with Hiroshi and wouldn't stop talking, Sakura chatted with Ren again.

Sakura and Ren chatted and laughed, but Kaito seemed to still be thinking about something.

Mio frowned upon seeing this.

She quietly approached Kaito and whispered: "Didn't we agree that I would look for an opportunity for you to talk to Sakura?"

In fact, she wasn't looking for an opportunity to pair Sakura and Kaito just for Kaito's benefit.

It was because she truly felt that the only person who could match Sakura was Kaito, who also had an extraordinary family and good looks.

As for Ren, an older, unemployed vagrant who had previously asked Sakura to treat him to a meal, how could he be worthy of Sakura? Kaito snapped out of his thoughts, looked at Mio, shook his head, and said: "I have no idea right now."

"Why not...?"

Mio was stunned for a moment and then asked in disbelief: "Could Ren be your cousin?"

Kaito hesitated: "I'm not sure, but he looks very much like my cousin, and he's almost the same age..."

"Then, your cousin, didn't you say his name was Kaito Sato? And if he really is your cousin, why don't you recognize him?" Mio frowned.

"I don't know... I need to ask my father about this."

Kaito replied: "But if he really is Kaito Sato's cousin, it wouldn't be strange... They look too similar, but his personality seems different from my cousin's."

"Let me put it this way: my cousin's family is different from ours. My second uncle and second aunt graduated from University of Tokyo, studied in America, and got their doctorates. After returning to Japan, they also became professors at University of Tokyo. My cousin's family has been very strict since he was a child."

"My two cousins are better than me. Kaito Sato has been skipping grades. He completed his master's and doctorate at 23 and got his doctorate. However, two years ago, something suddenly happened..."

As he spoke, an expression of nostalgia appeared on his face.

"What is it?"

Mio felt some curiosity.

However, Kaito looked at her and shook his head.
