Chapter 269 Being calculated
"How about taking Sota to see a psychiatrist while we have some time this afternoon?"

"Where is the nearest psychiatric clinic?"

"This kind of problem should be treated by a psychiatrist, right?"

Kyoko Hori thought uneasily and almost couldn't help biting her fingers.

"What if we go to look for Xiu's younger sister, the green-haired sister who came to our house for dinner with Xiu last time?" After hesitating for a moment, Kyoko Hori couldn't help but ask cautiously again.

"The green-haired sister?"

Sota tilted his head and thought for a moment before he remembered Motoko.

This time he didn't refuse immediately without thinking like he did just now.

But he only hesitated for a moment, and before Hori Kyoko could breathe a sigh of relief, he shook his head vigorously and said, "I still like playing with my big brother!"

"."

After hearing this, Kyoko Hori's expression stiffened slightly.

She just likes playing with Jingura Hide, not that she likes Jingura Hide. Should she be glad about this?
On the other hand, Sota was unaware that his elder sister's head was already filled with some weird ideas, and she started to make a fuss again, saying "I want to go find my big brother to play", "I just want to find my big brother".

This allowed Kyoko Hori to temporarily put aside her wild thoughts, but she also felt a headache.

"Go find it yourself!" Hori Kyoko really wanted to say this.

Unfortunately, due to her identity as an elder sister, and the fact that she had promised her mother to help take care of Sota, she could only think about this in her heart.

"It's one o'clock in the afternoon."

Kyoko Hori turned her head to look at the time on the wall clock, and in the blink of an eye, a plan popped into her head.

"I really can't do anything about you. Well, I'll take you to play with Xiu, but you have to be obedient, okay?" Kyoko Hori deliberately showed a helpless expression of 'being defeated' and spoke.

Of course, it was impossible to really take Sota to Shimokitazawa to find Iura Hide. Her plan was to take Sota to Iura Hide's house first and chat with Motoko.

During this time, you can also use the excuse to buy souvenirs and take Sota for a walk around the shopping street.

After leaving Iura Hide's house, I took Sota to the bookstore under the pretext of buying comics for him. Finally, I took Sota to the supermarket to buy snacks and ingredients for dinner, and then went home together to prepare dinner.

After going through such a long journey, a kid like Sota must have been exhausted and would no longer clamor to find Iura Hide.

By the time she had prepared dinner for Sota, Yuriko Hori would have been back from get off work, and she could then change into the outfit she had carefully prepared and go to Shimokitazawa to watch Hide Iura's performance.

However, when she turned around, with her back to Sota who was shouting with joy, and secretly took out her cell phone from her pocket, intending to send a message to Motoko to let her know, she found out that Motoko had actually gone out shopping for clothes with Eriri.

Now all her plans failed and she could only think of other ways.

"what can we do about it"

Kyoko Hori turned her head and looked at Sota who was about to go back to his room to change clothes, and her eyes narrowed unconsciously.

As a boy, how can you not like playing with girls?
This guy Sota, doesn't he know that Japan's declining birth rate problem is becoming more and more serious?

so.
"It seems that Sota still needs to be 'treated' and 'corrected'!"

Thinking of this, Kyoko Hori immediately found Arina Okuyama's phone number from the address book and sent a text message to Arina Okuyama.

Although Arina Okuyama is only six years old like Sota, because girls usually mature earlier, she has actually always secretly liked Sota. So after seeing the text message, she immediately agreed happily.

So about ten minutes later, just as Hori Kyoko had just finished changing her clothes under Sota's constant urging, the doorbell of her house suddenly rang.

then
"Ah! It's Youcai-chan! You're here to play with Sota, right? Come in! Sota has already finished his homework and is looking for someone to play with!"

A moment later, before Sota could tell Arina Okuyama who suddenly came to the house that he had to go out to find his big brother and had no time to play with her, Hori Kyoko had already enthusiastically pulled Arina Okuyama into the house with Sota's face looking like Psyduck tilting his head.

"??? Didn't we agree on this——"

After coming back to his senses, Sota turned his head to look at Hori Kyoko with an anxious and puzzled look.

However, before he could even finish his words, Hori Kyoko smiled and whispered to him, "Arina came all the way to play with you. It would be very, very rude to turn her away."

"."

What else can Sota say now?

Under Hori Kyoko's 'shameless' plot, poor Sota could only pout bitterly and play house with Okuyama Arina in the living room with a depressed look on his face.

A few blocks away in the shopping district, a high school student, still dressed in non-mainstream clothes, had just finished helping out in the cake shop he ran and was strolling leisurely on the street in the afternoon, preparing to go home to take a nap, and then get up to read some comics and light novels to kill time on the boring weekend.

At the same time, in front of the Shibuya 109 building that Chie Takasago had just mentioned when they had lunch together.

Eriri, who had just run back with three cups of milk tea, noticed at a glance the "annoying" face next to Motoko and Sayuri Sawamura. She couldn't help but curl her lips and then walked over with the milk tea.

"Sorry, I forgot to buy your share~" Eriri said indifferently to Kasumigaoka Utaha while sharing the other two cups of milk tea in her hand with Motoko and Sayuri Sawamura.

That’s right, I also sent a message to Jizi in advance.

When Kasumigaoka Utaha learned that Motoko was going out shopping with Eriri 'alone', she immediately put down the suitcase she had just packed and took a taxi to come over as quickly as possible.

Are you kidding? When it comes to pleasing her sister-in-law, how could she lag behind Eriri?
What if Eriri uses her relationship with Motoko to get rid of the title of golden-haired loser and her status in the family becomes hers?
In addition, Eriri's fashion sense has improved significantly recently compared to before, which makes her feel a little pressured.

Although Eriri did not come over to show off to her as usual, she clearly noticed that in recent times, Iura Hide took the initiative to play games with Eriri more often than before.

Although I can't compare to her in terms of total game time due to my low level, I have surpassed her in the number of games.

Although she would feel a little unhappy about losing to others, such as Kitagawa Umi, Mashiro, and Sugaya Noha, she could accept it.

But if even Ying Lili loses, I'm afraid both rabbits will be very angry!
So she hesitated for a moment, and between moving her luggage over and going to see Iura Hide by herself or going shopping with Kiko, she chose the latter. She wanted to see what kind of clothes Eriri would buy to hook up with Iura Hide this time!

"I'm really sorry, Eriri is always so careless, Shiyu-chan, just drink mine~"

The true relationship between Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri has not yet been figured out, and Sayuri Sawamura, who mistakenly thinks the two are good friends, immediately speaks up.

This made Eriri, who was already unhappy that Kasumigaoka Utaha came over to disturb her, Motoko, and Sayuri Sawamura while they were shopping, puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and used much more force to insert the straw in her hand.

It was as if what she was holding in her hand was not milk tea, but someone's little figurine, with her pointed fangs exposed.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to have not noticed it at all. She still maintained an elegant, gentle and kind smile on her face and said softly, "Sister, you are too polite. Eriri and I are best friends. I have long been accustomed to Eriri's carelessness. As for milk tea, to be honest, I am trying to lose weight recently, so I don't need to bother you."

When Sayuri Sawamura heard Kasumigaoka Utaha calling her sister so 'sensibly', the smile on her face suddenly became brighter, and then she waved her hand in embarrassment and said:
"Oh, oh, oh, even though I got married and gave birth to Eriri when I was less than 20 years old, I am already in my 30s now. How can I still be called a sister~"

"But Sayuri-san looks about my age. If she puts on a JK outfit, she'll look like a high school girl. Even if she stands next to Eriri, she'll look like a sister who's only two or three years older than Eriri at most."

"Hey hey hey~ It's not as exaggerated as you say~"

Sayuri Sawamura looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha's 'sincere' eyes, and for a moment she couldn't help but feel overjoyed and smiled so hard that she could hardly close her mouth.

"As for Shiyu-chan, your figure is so perfect that even your sister can't help but envy you. You don't even need to lose weight, okay?"

"No, no, I'm still 'too fat'. I wish I could be as thin as Eriri."

Kasumigaoka Utaha said this and looked at Eriri's washboard with envy. This made Eriri so angry that her fists became hard.

Saying she's too fat is clearly a mockery of her small size!

Also, I just said that Sayuri Sawamura looks like a high school girl, and then I added that Sayuri Sawamura looks like a sister who is two or three years older than her. Isn't this saying that she looks like a middle school student!?

Although this is true.

Her figure is just about the same as Hoshino Ai, not to mention compared with the obviously foul-winning Inui Shinshou. But at least, her figure is better than Motoko's, right?

Although they are about the same size, the legs should be longer and the butt should be a little rounder, right?

So rounding it off, her figure is still better than that of the average middle school student!
Unfortunately, she was too embarrassed to say these words in public in front of Motoko and Sayuri Sawamura.

But Sayuri Sawamura, who is usually "smart", didn't think much about it because of her preconceived ideas.

So, she could only watch the two of them still blowing each other's business while biting the straw hard and sulking there alone.

Fortunately, Sayuri Sawamura still remembered that her first priority here was to buy Eriri a nice yukata and other clothes, and secondly to build a good relationship with Motoko and see if she could move in with Eriri.

So when the four of them walked into Building 109, her and Kasumigaoka Utaha's business interactions soon turned to Motoko.

"Motoko-chan is so cute, do you want to try this dress?"

"It feels like it suits Motoko-chan very well!"

"I believe in my sister's judgment. Motoko-chan will definitely look even cuter in this!"

"."

It was the first time for Kiko to come here to shop for clothes since she was a child. Looking at the dazzling array of women's clothing around her, she felt like she had come to a fairy tale, a kingdom that belonged only to girls.

Although I felt a little embarrassed, I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise from time to time.

In addition, Sayuri Sawamura and the other two took good care of her, which made her feel like the little princess in a fairy tale who was the center of attention. Her favorability towards the three of them increased a lot, and she was almost catching up with Umi Kitagawa.

"It turns out that Sister Shiyu is not that cold in private. Instead, she is very gentle, considerate, and caring."

"Eri-nii may not seem very smart, but she's also very interesting."

"Although I feel a little sorry for Sister Haimeng, it would be great if Sister Shiyu and Sister Eriri could also be Onii-chan's girlfriends, so that they can stay here forever."

Jizi looked at the two identical skirts she had just bought and couldn't help but think secretly in her heart.

She had previously been a little resistant to Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri moving in, but now, under their repeated advances, she had unconsciously changed her mind and was beginning to look forward to them moving in with her.

At the same time, Sayuri Sawamura inadvertently learned from her conversation with Motoko and Kasumigaoka Utaha that Kasumigaoka Utaha was also going to move to Iura Hide's house. She couldn't help but be stunned, and then turned to look at the guilty Eriri, and her eyes became strange.

"What's going on? Why is Shiyu-chan going to move to Xiu-sama's house?"

While Kasumigaoka Utaha was pulling Motoko to try on a maid outfit that looked blushing, Sayuri Sawamura acted like lightning and grabbed the back collar of Eriri who was trying to follow her. She pulled her to a corner and asked in a low voice with a frown.

At that time, she only knew that Jingpu Xiu could write songs and sing. The songs he released performed very well. He was hailed as the most talented high school student original singer in the Japanese music industry in the past decade.

As for Iura Shu's writing of light novels, she had only heard Eriri mention it briefly twice, and she didn't know that Iura Shu was the 'Old Thief Luffy' who wrote "April".

So she thought that Eriri moved there because she had grown up and wanted to live with her boyfriend, and she had no idea that Eriri moved there to publish a fan fiction of "April".

"Hey."

Eriri first looked up at Sayuri Sawamura, then quickly lowered her head guiltily and whispered, "I promised Master Xiu that I wouldn't tell anyone."

Hearing this, Sayuri Sawamura crossed her arms and sneered, "How about I go and ask Master Xiu directly?"

"."

Ying Lili couldn't help but feel panicked.

If Sayuri Sawamura just went to ask Iura Hide, she wouldn't be afraid. But what if, when Sayuri Sawamura went to ask Iura Hide, she saw the group of girls surrounding Iura Hide and knew that Iura Hide's real girlfriend was actually Kitagawa Umi.
"Okay! I can tell you, but you have to swear not to tell anyone else without my and Master Xiu's permission!"

Sayuri Sawamura looked at Eriri and saw that the guilty look on her face had faded a lot. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise, and her expression immediately relaxed.
