I have bound two systems.

In this round of secret competition between daughter and mother, the mother won.

"Okay, don't worry about her, let's continue with our previous topic."

"Normally when I'm at school, I'll go to the music room to find Touma at noon and ask her for piano lessons."

"Hey, Suzumiya-kun can also play the piano?"

Suzumiya Chisato touched her head embarrassedly.

"Well, I'm a complete novice. I don't know anything. I just have some interest in the piano."

"Oh~~~"

Touma Yoko understood instantly and glanced at Kasa beside her with a smile.

She now understood the purpose of her daughter's sudden call to ask about the previous piano teaching materials.

It was probably at that time that Suzumiya took the initiative to talk to her about this matter.

"So the reason why you are here today is that you want Hesha to teach you piano-related knowledge."

"Well, I teach her in the morning, and she teaches me piano in the afternoon. We help each other. This is what we agreed on before."

"Study groups that help each other, I miss it so much. I also experienced it when I was in college. I ate and lived with my friends before exams. It was an unforgettable happy time."

"It's a little different, but I still have to go back at night."

"You're not going to stay here? There are so many guest rooms here. It would be great if you could go to school together the next day."

Touma Yoko said this in a natural tone that made it unclear whether it was intentional or had a hidden meaning.

Touma Kazusa also spoke again at this moment.

"Suzumiya, you don't have to pay attention to her. She's always so unreasonable to everyone. She's totally not what a mother should be."

"Hey, it's really sad that my own daughter said that. Miyoko, you must be careful in the future and not raise a child with such a twisted personality."

"President, please rest assured. With the workload you have assigned to me now, I won't have time to find a boyfriend in the next few years, let alone have children."

The worker who has been working hard as an outsider from the beginning to the end said this with resentment.

"Really? Miyoko is so cute, why are you still worrying about having a boyfriend? If you really can't make it, I'll introduce you to one."

Touma Yoko leaned over and pinched her subordinate's face.

"Please don't do this, President. The children are watching."

----

We had a very lively lunch time.

Although her daughter was dissatisfied with many things during this period, the mother still asked for Chisato Suzumiya's contact information and asked him to come out for dinner when he had time.

It can be seen that Touma Yoko seems very satisfied with her daughter's first friend.

"Don't bother you guys. I have to go back to my room to get some sleep to get over the jet lag."

After sending her subordinates away, Touma Yoko said this and stretched lazily as she walked upstairs, leaving the private space to the two young men again.

"Why don't I go back today? Your mother is back now. You two should have a lot to talk about. It wouldn't be nice for me to continue disturbing you."

"Don't leave."

Touma Kazusa grabbed Chisato Suzumiya's wrist.

Although some unexpected things happened along the way, what she wanted to say did not change from beginning to end.

"…Let's go to the practice room. I have something to tell you."

…………

Chapter 199 I Want to Know (Two in One)

The practice room is located on the basement floor, and there are always-on light strips on both sides of the downward stairs.

The light was not very bright and could only illuminate the road under her feet, but even so, Chisato Suzumiya who was following behind could still see the girl's red earlobes.

What was said before did have some effect after all, Touma Kazusa was far from being as calm as she appeared.

This discovery made Chisato Suzumiya feel a little weird, and Touma Kazusa was not the only one who was nervous.

After being interrupted by the sudden appearance of Touma Yoko, his original indomitable momentum had already been largely lost.

When he went back into the kitchen to prepare lunch, he calmed down a little and thought about many practical problems.

Touma Kazusa knows very little about the situation around her. After she understands his true thoughts and knows the situation of Shiwa, Eriri, and Ichiri, will she still speak to him in such a friendly manner, showing a gentle and lovely side that is completely different from other people?

After all, the main reason why the three girls around him have such a high degree of liking for him and being so tolerant of him, to the point where they can't live without him, is due to his experience in The Sims.

You can win their hearts with very little effort. The Sims is really like a cheat.

But he is different from Touma Kazusa. The contact and interaction between the two of them is plain and natural. It is an extremely simple process from acquaintance to familiarity, just by taking advantage of the convenience of sitting next to each other.

The time they had been in contact had not even exceeded a month, which was completely incomparable to the three who had, in a sense, spent one or more complete lives together.

The depth of the bond and the feelings alone make a huge difference, and so does the level of tolerance.

Whether it's Ichiri, Shiwa or Eriri, the situations in which they can tolerate and compromise are completely different for Touma and Kazusa.

With a good family background and a figure and looks comparable to that of a model, Touma Kazusa has a lot of choices.

At least until now, Suzumiya Chisato couldn't think of any method or words that could make her accept the situation around her.

The original idea was to delay it for a while, until their relationship had further heated up, and then gradually and indirectly let her realize his true nature and thoughts, and then formulate countermeasures based on her reaction.

But after hearing her ask that question today and seeing the uneasy and withdrawn expression on her face, Suzumiya Chisato couldn't help but soften her heart, and she spoke out all her inner thoughts directly.

It is said that girls in love have no brains, and the same applies to men.

The experience learned from the Sims was completely useless in front of Touma and Sa, and expressing true feelings was the biggest killer.

Chisato Suzumiya couldn't bear it and surrendered early.

Now, his fate is completely in the hands of the other party.

"I'm sorry, my mom is just like that. She always talks to everyone in a carefree manner, mostly jokingly, but she doesn't actually have any bad intentions."

Touma Kazusa turned on the light in the practice room, she turned around, folded her arms across her chest and looked to the left, pretending to look in another direction casually, not looking at Suzumiya Chisato.

Suzumiya Chisato shrugged in a nonchalant manner.

"It's okay. I don't mind at all. Rather, I quite like chatting with your mother. I've seen reports about her in newspapers and magazines. She looked noble and cold in the photos taken by reporters, but I didn't expect that she was so easy-going and friendly in private. It was completely beyond my expectations."

"That's a display of personality. Anyway, you must have seen the photo of her wearing an evening gown."

"You know all this? You guessed it?"

"It's not a guess, because unless there are special circumstances, she would only accept interviews after the concert. She likes the way she looks in an evening gown. She thinks she is the most charming at that time, and it will also attract more attention from the opposite sex."

At the end, Touma Hesa ​​shook her head slightly, pinched her nose with her fingers and closed her eyes. Obviously, she felt a little embarrassed about her mother's personality.

"That kind of figure-hugging and gorgeous dress is really eye-catching. I also want to see what Touma looks like in an evening gown. It will definitely be stunning, maybe even more eye-catching than your mother."

Having said this, Suzumiya Chisato walked past Touma Kazusa and sat down in front of the piano.

It doesn't matter anymore, since she already knows all his thoughts now.

Therefore, all the ambiguity, roundabout tactics and euphemisms are no longer necessary.

There is no need to hide anymore, because there is no need to hide anymore.

After hearing these words, Touma Kazusa was confused for a moment, and then finally understood the shocking fact that had just happened.

Is she being... seduced?

It's a compliment... I guess it's a compliment.

This was the first time a boy had praised her in this way since she was a child.

Touma Hesa's fingers, which were originally pinching her eyebrows, slowly closed together to form a palm, covering her mouth.

Why were we talking about our mothers one second ago, and you could say such embarrassing words so naturally the next second!

Her whole body was stiff, and she turned around and glared at him angrily.

"What... stupid things are you saying!"

From the way Touma Kazusa clenched her fists, it can be seen that she is trying her best to appear imposing and intimidating.

But unfortunately, whether it was her trembling lips or her incoherent words, they all betrayed her true inner emotions. She was not as indestructible as she appeared.

Suzumiya Chisato shook her head with certainty.

"It's not stupid, I'm telling the truth. Since Touma doesn't usually communicate with others at school, it's natural that he doesn't know these situations. But I deal with all kinds of people all day, so I know what other people think of you."

"Evaluation... evaluation?"

"kindness."

Since there was no way out, Suzumiya Chisato completely let go, saying anything that was free and could make girls happy.

"Most of the boys in the school have a consensus on your characteristics, such as your charming cold eyes, your sexy thin lips, your skin as white and translucent as snow, and your shiny hair swaying in the wind. These are all the points that make you stand out among the girls.

There is just one thing, your personality is too cold, and that’s why everyone doesn’t dare to approach you. But this is just right, because this personality not only touches my cuteness, but also makes me lose so many competitors invisibly, which is definitely a good thing.”

Normally when the two of them are together, Suzumiya Chisato always exudes a sense of dominance. Now, after putting aside her concerns, she goes all out, making Touma Kazusa even more difficult to cope with.

What was even more incredible to her was the expression on the other person's face when he said these embarrassing words.

That calm expression with a hint of smirk, full of ruffian aggression... So the Suzumiya Chisato I knew was such a frivolous guy! I never saw it before!

But...even if she realized it belatedly, Touma and Sa couldn't hate him at all for being like this.

On the contrary, after receiving these messages, the heart beats faster and faster.

"…It's inexplicable. Let's start practicing the piano first."

In order to cover up her shame, Touma Kazusa took a deep breath and walked to the piano, ready to enter her own territory to make a comeback.

Just as she stretched out her hand to push open the piano cover, Suzumiya Chisato pressed it down with her hand and shook her head slowly.

"I'm sorry, today I don't really want to practice the piano. I just want to talk to Touma."

"Well……"

"Touma should think so too. If we get here, no one else will disturb us, and we can calm down and talk about things."

Chisato Suzumiya took out her cell phone which showed "No Signal" and the time on it was two o'clock in the afternoon.

If it wasn't raining, he would really like to ask Touma Kazusa to go out for a walk. Even though he knew that she was not the kind of girl who stuck to formalities, he still wanted to see her expression when she received gifts or flowers. Her reaction at that time would definitely be very cute.

But the most important thing now is to straighten out the relationship between the two of them.

Seeing that Touma Hesa ​​was just marking time and standing there not knowing what to do next, Suzumiya Chisato could only put some pressure on her, forcing her to take a step forward.

"If Touma doesn't have anything to say, then I should go back now. You should spend more time with your mother whom you haven't seen for a long time. See you at school tomorrow."

The moment he stood up, Touma Kazusa grabbed his sleeve, looked away, and said in a muffled voice,

"Don't...don't go."

Suzumiya Chisato said nothing and just looked at her quietly.

"I'm actually... not as beautiful a girl as you think."

Touma Kazusa finally made up her mind, and her opening remarks were filled with her lack of confidence in herself.

She was able to look up and meet Suzumiya Chisato's gaze. The other party did not show an expression of surprise as she expected, but was as gentle as usual, and there was an added hot emotion that made her blush.

Such emotions made her feel embarrassed and upset, but when Suzumiya Chisato gently patted the seat next to her, motioning for her to sit down on the piano chair with her, and looked at her with encouraging eyes, her mood miraculously seemed to calm down.

The words that I had thought of at the beginning gradually emerged clearly in my mind and were able to be expressed.

"I started learning piano when I was three years old, before I could formally learn to read. During my childhood, I had no real friends, and my only companion was the piano. I persisted in playing it day after day for more than ten years until three years ago."

Touma Kazusa put her hand on her forehead and shook her head slightly, realizing that she seemed to have strayed from the topic.

"In short, because I used to spend almost all my time playing the piano, I was totally out of shape in other aspects. It's no exaggeration to say that I was a complete mess."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Suzumiya Chisato looked at her seriously, pretending to listen.

It was a bit embarrassing, but Touma Kazusa still forced herself to continue.

"...The most obvious place is studying. As you can see, except for the Chinese language course, my score is slightly above the passing line. I don't understand the others at all. For some subjects, I can only guess the scores by single digits."

Suzumiya Chisato smiled indifferently.
