I have bound two systems.

Would a girl who hated studying really go to such a place? Suzumiya Chisato was deeply skeptical about this.

"You're annoying! Comic books are also books, right?"

With a slightly red face, Touma Hesa ​​didn't want to continue arguing, so she closed the piano angrily and walked up the stairs.

God knows what's wrong with her. When she faced the guy in front of her, she couldn't control her temper!

Chisato Suzumiya didn't mind and followed her out of the practice room, holding her hand from behind.

Touma and Sa tried to break free several times, but the other party held them too tightly and they failed. Then, when they looked into his smiling face, they just let him do it.

"Don't be angry. I have specially arranged an activity for Kazusa today. Let's change our clothes and go out."

"Where to?"

"Don't ask so many questions. You will know soon. Hurry up."

Chisato Suzumiya is keeping the secret for now.

An hour after Touma and Sa changed their clothes and followed him out, they found out what his so-called arrangement was.

Looking around, there are people everywhere. All kinds of cartoon characters from childhood have come into reality. Children are surrounding them, and their laughter can be heard. The colorful buildings on the other side of the fence seem like a perfect utopia beyond reality.

Touma Kazusa was silent for a few seconds, then turned around with an indiscernible expression and looked at the man who had been holding her hand since they left the house and who had leaned on her shoulder to rest all the way in the taxi against her wishes.

"Disneyland..."

"Yes, that's a good arrangement."

Suzumiya Chisato gave a flattering smile, waiting for praise.

But Touma and Sa's mouth twitched.

"Do you take me for a child?"

"You are so prejudiced. Who says that only children can come to the amusement park?"

"The children you see everywhere here speak volumes."

"Then take a look at the people who are with them."

kindness?

After hearing what Suzumiya Chisato said, Touma Kazusa was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked forward to efficiently collect the situation within her field of vision.

"……parents?"

She gave this answer uncertainly.

Suzumiya Chisato nodded in agreement.

"Yes, this is very close to the standard answer."

Dong Ma and Sha were not convinced.

"Then tell me, what is the standard answer?"

"Of course, just like us..."

Suzumiya Chisato lowered her head and slowly moved towards her, her forehead against hers. Their eyes met at a very close distance, producing some kind of mysterious reaction.

“…They are family.”

Gudong.

A stone falls into the calm water, creating ripples.

Touma Hesa ​​was stunned until Chisato Suzumiya took action in her sight, touched the corner of her lips and kissed her lightly, then she reacted with a blushing face.

At that moment just now, she was distracted by the other party's devoted and warm eyes, which allowed him to easily succeed in his sneak attack.

This hateful guy...

"Mom, can family members kiss each other mouth to mouth like that? Then can I kiss my sister like this too..."

"boom!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Candy can't stop you from talking. Go away!"

The naughty kid holding balloons and candied haws happened to pass by this iconic couple and happened to witness and hear their interaction. When he curiously asked the mother next to him, he was punished with an iron fist.

Well, the sound is a good start.

It was not until the mother and son walked away that Touma and Sa dared to slowly raise their heads.

But before she could protest again, Suzumiya Chisato took her hand and walked quickly into the amusement park.

Even though Touma Kazusa was extremely disdainful of Suzumiya Chisato's arrangement today at the beginning, as time went by, after playing one or two projects, she gradually could no longer maintain that attitude of keeping strangers at a distance.

It is true that she hates interacting with unfamiliar people, but Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Aladdin and other dolls played by the staff are not in this category at all.

Chisato Suzumiya was full of energy and kept making her happy, which made her slowly get into the mood. Then a permanent smile gradually appeared on her face.

It had been a long time since she had let go of everything and been so carefree and happy like today. Although she had a lot of fun at the aquarium before, she had a fever at the time and her body was under pressure, so she didn't enjoy it as much as today.

However, no matter how much fun you have in this amusement park castle, you still have to return to reality.

The afterglow of the sunset in the evening dyed the sky a beautiful marigold.

Touma and Sa were led by Chisato Suzumiya on the slowly rising Ferris wheel. Through the transparent viewing window, her sight passed over the colorful childish fun in the castle and was able to see the real hustle and bustle of traffic.

She knew that no matter how happy she was, all the beautiful things she experienced today were illusions, and she would eventually have to return to the outside world. That was her destination, which she was unwilling to face but was ultimately hers.

"Qianli, have you ever thought about your future with me?"

Touma Kazusa, wearing a gray and white cat ear headband, still looked out the window and suddenly asked this question.

Sitting opposite her, Suzumiya Chisato first looked at her, then looked in the direction she was looking.

"Well, I have thought about it. We will be together forever. We will decorate our new home according to Hesha's preferences. We will have a child, or maybe more than one. I will learn carpentry by myself to build them a seesaw and a swing to put in the yard. When they grow up a little, Hesha will teach them to play the piano in the morning, and I will play with them in the afternoon. I will send them to your mother's house on weekends, and we will have some free time. Just like today, we will continue to do activities that make you happy. I will keep trying until we can't walk anymore."

Suzumiya Chisato spoke very seriously, but because of his light tone, his words sounded like a joke.

Touma and Sa looked away, their eyes had never been as gentle and sad as they were now.

"Qianli, stop joking."

Suzumiya Chisato immediately refuted her,

"I'm not kidding."

"So, the future you just talked about is just me?"

Suzumiya Chisato understood what Touma Kazusa meant by this.

"…I'm sorry, my choice for them is the same as what I just said to Kazusa."

really.

There was a hint of frustration in Touma and Sa's eyes.

She lowered her head, and the slender fingers that Suzumiya Chisato had praised many times for their beauty were entangled with each other and fiddled with each other.

"Last night, my mother chatted with me for a while and talked a lot. This was probably the first time she had a face-to-face conversation with me for such a long time since I grew up. It always felt a little unreal.

But whether it is the tone of her voice or the little habits she inadvertently reveals, they all fully demonstrate that she is my mother.

That beautiful pianist who was famous all over the world, the one who had distorted my normal taste and turned me into a complete sweet tooth, the one who had once resolutely chosen to leave me alone just to pursue the honor he desired... a completely selfish guy. "

"..."

Chisato Suzumiya did not choose to interrupt. He sat up straight and listened attentively. He knew that his girlfriend had not finished speaking.

"But these were just the preconceived impressions I had when I was young. After talking to my mother for so long last night, I realized that many things I had thought about were not as black and white as I had originally understood.

The adult world is often not so easy to understand due to various factors and considerations.

My mother explained everything to me. Her previous seemingly cold behavior towards me was due to her own thoughts, but these thoughts were not conveyed to me well.

The same goes for the mother and the daughter. Both of them are extremely clumsy.

She said that she didn't expect my forgiveness for what happened in the past, but she did hope that I could live a happy life in the future, so as long as it was what I expected, she would do her best to support me.

I can see that she said this with great seriousness..."

Touma Kazusa paused here and stretched out her left hand.

Suzumiya Chisato understood and grasped her fingertips, holding them in her palm.

"So, what's Kazusa's answer?"

Touma and Sa shook their heads.

"I told her that I didn't need her to do anything special for me, I just wanted her to live the way she wanted to live before."

"That's really your style, so cool."

Suzumiya Chisato smiled. When she first met Touma Yoko, Kazusa's attitude towards her was still so bad and impatient. Now, not much time has passed, but the situation has changed completely.

Touma Kazusa leaned forward and gently stroked Chisato Suzumiya's face.

"The reason why I can be so confident and handsome is because of you. If you hadn't helped me and my mother had really died of the disease, I would never be as calm as I am today, nor would I have the happiness to smile like I do now."

"Hesha..."

"However, even though I said that to my mother, she still gave me advice on my current situation as a mother."

"Any suggestions...about us?"

For some reason, Chisato Suzumiya suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Yes, she said three points."

Touma Kazusa extended her index finger.

“First, follow my heart.”

She then raised her middle finger.

"Second, if I want you to like me more than they like me, in addition to my own unremitting efforts, I also need to know where I am different from them and give full play to my strengths."

Finally, she extended her ring finger.

"at last……"

As if she wanted to whet Suzumiya Chisato's appetite, Kazusa suddenly stopped explaining the last point without further explanation.

"Finally...what is it?"

"Now that I think about it, that may not be considered advice, but rather something my mother told me, hoping that I could convey it to you."

"So what were her exact words?"

My mother's original words at that time...

'Think about it, even if those girls are all taken care of by Suzumiya-kun, their parents are still a big problem. Open-minded mothers like me are rare in the world. Besides, even if it was me, if he hadn't saved my life before, I would never agree to him touching you.'

At that time, Touma Yoko said this in a very relaxed manner.

After recalling the ending, Touma Kazusa finally smiled and shook her head, raised her finger and slowly lowered it.

"I think it's better to keep this a secret."

"…Are you trying to keep me in suspense?"

"Aren't you the same?"

"what?"

"…Mom told me this morning before she left the house, asking me to stay in a good mood and that she would give me a big surprise."

Ms. Touma Yoko... is unexpectedly unreliable even in such trivial matters.

Suzumiya Chisato sighed helplessly, but quickly adjusted her mentality. Under the gaze of Touma and Sa, whose eyes had inexplicably become brighter, she took out a small square box from her pocket.

Slowly opening it, inside lay a finely crafted silver necklace with a pendant in the shape of a sixteenth note and a deep blue gem at the bottom.

When Chisato Suzumiya took the necklace in her hand and the pendant was hanging in the air, Touma Kazusa's heart trembled.

Suzumiya Chisato had a gentle smile on her face.

"To be honest, when I saw Kazusa playing the piano this morning, I almost thought about giving it to you right then. After all, the occasion and atmosphere were perfect. But now it seems that giving it to you now wouldn't make much of a difference."

"..."

Touma Hesa ​​didn't reply, but her eyes flickered and her lips trembled slightly, all of which showed her inner surprise and joy.

Chisato Suzumiya approached her, untied the necklace with both hands, and said in a hoarse voice,
