I have bound two systems.

"Hey, you did mean to say thick-skinned, didn't you?"

"Humph."

"You really don't deny it..."

It can be seen that Yukino is in a very good mood today. From noon until now, the corners of her mouth have been slightly raised.

It's so relaxing and comfortable to be around her.

After that, Yukinoshita Haruno returned to her seat and the waiter began to bring appetizers and soup one by one.

The recommendation from the elite Yang Nai was indeed correct. The food in this restaurant is completely worth its price in terms of color, aroma and taste.

Everyone enjoyed this meal very much.

After the vinegar-marinated salmon, the waiter took away the dishes and brought the smoked rabbit legs again.

At this moment, there was a conversation coming from the restaurant door, and it was obvious that another customer had come in.

Chisato Suzumiya was sitting with her back to the restaurant entrance and had no interest in looking back.

However, when he finished eating the small piece of rabbit meat on his plate and was about to take a sip of the drink, he found that Yang Nai, who was sitting opposite him at the table, was staring at the direction behind him with a frozen smile.

Yukino, who was sitting next to her, also looked a little surprised.

He noticed something and turned around to look back.

The new guests were three women, all wearing kimonos and with light makeup on their faces. They looked like they had just finished an event and came here together to have dinner.

The three ladies were all very elegant, but the one in the middle was particularly eye-catching. Compared with the other two companions, her appearance was more dignified and beautiful, and her figure was more slender and plump.

She looked over here with an expression similar to Yukino's.

And when Chisato Suzumiya turned around, her eyes met his, thoughtfully.

Just by making eye contact, Suzumiya Chisato could guess who the visitor was without anyone introducing him again.

The aura and extraordinary appearance that were so similar to those of the Yukinoshita sisters, there was no doubt that she was their mother.

Yuigahama Yui, who also turned around and saw the lady, asked at the same time,

"Xue-no-chan, that must be your mother."

"Yes... She seldom goes out. Today, she must have something to do."

Yukino answered softly, confirming what Chisato Suzumiya was thinking, and turned to look at her sister.

Yang No had already withdrawn his gaze at this moment, and was concentrating on using his knife and fork to deal with the food in front of him.

"Since she's my aunt, it would be better for us to go and say hello to her."

Isshiki made this suggestion quietly, not noticing the sudden change in the atmosphere at the table.

"fine."

Yang Nai quickly rejected her proposal, and then deliberately put on a relaxed attitude and shrugged.

"You guys eat your food. After they take their seats, Yukino and I will go over and say hello to mom and her friends."

…………

Chapter 129: Do you want to come to my house and sit for a while?

Yukinoshita Haruno wiped her mouth, and Yukino followed her and stood up, leaving the table and heading towards where their mother was sitting.

Suzumiya Chisato watched them walk halfway and then looked away.

As the two of them left, the atmosphere seemed to change.

Isshi Iroha didn't notice anything wrong with this, but the meticulous Chisato Suzumiya and Yuigahama Yui, who had subconsciously agreed with others since she was a child because she didn't want to be disliked and wanted to fit in with the group, and thus had maxed out her air-reading skill early on, still noticed some not-so-obvious details.

For example, when she saw her mother appear in this restaurant, Yukinoshita Haruno's originally sweet smile paused. Although her slightly wrinkled brows quickly relaxed, the gloom that appeared on her face at that moment did not escape the observation of the two.

In addition, there is Yukino. When she saw her mother, she did not give the puzzling reaction like her sister. She was simply a little surprised that she could meet her mother outside by such a coincidence. However, after she realized it, her reaction was quite meaningful.

When she came to her senses, she turned her head towards her sister and looked at her with somewhat worried eyes.

Judging from the attitudes shown by the two sisters, the actual situation is quite interesting.

There seems to be some kind of gap between the elder sister and the mother, and the elder sister seems to be the suppressed one. As an insider, the younger sister cannot say it clearly, so she can only look at her elder sister with concern.

The above is the conclusion that Chisato Suzumiya came to when she was eating wasabi octopus and her mind was wandering.

What he didn't know was that the actual situation was not much different from what he had guessed.

As for Yuigahama Yui, she only maxed out her skill of reading the air, and could only see that there seemed to be a gap between Haruno and her mother. As for other things, she didn't think about it too much.

"Senior, I always feel a little embarrassed."

Isshi Iroha tapped the food on the plate lightly with her knife and fork and said this in a very soft voice.

Suzumiya Chisato glanced at Isseki. She was no longer as relaxed as before, but rather a little shy and awkward.

"Did you fart?"

“Pfft!…Ah, sorry, sorry…!”

Yuigahama Yui quickly suppressed the laughter that she couldn't hold back. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and turned her head to the side the moment she realized it was too late, so it didn't have much impact.

"what!"

Isshiki Caiyu's face flushed, and she stretched out her little foot from under the table and gently kicked Suzumiya Chisato's calf.

"How can you say such things to a lady? Senior, you are so bad!"

"Don't be so angry, I was just joking, I just wanted to lighten the mood seeing how nervous you were."

"How can you joke like that? It's really rude!"

"I apologize. I know Isshiki is a well-educated girl. Even if she wanted to do that, she would do it secretly under the pretext of going to the bathroom."

"Stinky senior! You still dare to say that!"

Yuigahama Yui, who was standing by, had just wiped her mouth with a tissue, but when she heard that, she turned her head to the side. Her shoulders and chest kept shaking, it was really shocking.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. By the way, Isshiki, what did you want to say just now? Why did you feel so awkward?"

Chisato Suzumiya put her hands back on the table and wiped them with a wet tissue.

Isshiki was so pissed off just now that she started kicking her little feet around under the table. If she hadn't used her hands to block it, who knows if she would have kicked some important parts.

"It's Sister Yang Nai and their mother. After they went over to say hello, they felt like their mother was always looking at us."

"Oh?"

Chisato Suzumiya pretended to glance over there casually.

Yukino and Haruno were standing by the table, talking to their mother and two other women, bowing their heads slightly respectfully from time to time. The scene looked like Yukino's mother was introducing her daughters to her friends.

But I didn't see anyone looking at them as Isshiki mentioned.

"I didn't see it."

After finishing her investigation, Suzumiya Chisato looked at Isshiki Iroha again.

"Not now. I mean just now, when Yang Nai and the others passed by and talked to their mother, they turned around and looked at us. It was at that time that their mother stared at us for a while. I don't know if it was an illusion, but I always felt that their mother's gaze at us was a little fierce."

"Eh? Did we do something rude? So we still have to go over and say hello?"

After hearing what Isshiki Iroha said, Yuigahama Yui instantly became nervous and regretted not following the Yukinoshita sisters.

"Okay, you two just have too many inner thoughts. Maybe their mother is a serious person, so it's normal for your eyes to look a little fierce. Don't think of yourself as being so annoying. In my opinion, the first impression you two give people should be that most people will find you friendly and likable."

After saying these comforting words naturally, Suzumiya Chisato picked up the juice and took a sip.

The wasabi octopus tastes good, but the flavor is a bit overpowering.

When he put down the cup, he found that Yuigahama Yui and Isshi Iroha were looking at him in a daze with blushing faces.

He lowered his gaze.

"what happened?"

"No...it's okay..."

Yuigahama turned her face to the side and used her fingers to comb her not-messy hair, but her eyes were still secretly looking towards Suzumiya Chisato. When she found that she was still looking at her, her shoulders trembled slightly again, and then her head shrank even more.

Isshiki was much bolder and blinked his big eyes.

"Senior is really good at teasing girls?"

Suzumiya Chisato turned her gaze towards her.

"How to say?"

"It's no use pretending to be stupid. You must have carefully calculated what you said just now."

"What do you mean by carefully calculated? It sounds like I'm very calculating."

"So what he did just now was purely his instinct to flirt with girls."

“…Isshiki, you should think about Yukinoshita’s mother. She just looked at you fiercely. Maybe you did something to upset her.”

"If that happens, none of the three of us can escape."

While the three of them were whispering here.

The Yukinoshita sisters, who had just stood up to leave, had finished saying hello and returned to their seats.

The expressions of the sisters when they returned were just as intriguing as when they left.

Yang Nai felt relaxed and at ease, not much different from before.

Yukino, however, frowned, her eyes occasionally falling on her sister's face.

"Xue No said you are her friends. Her mother asked us to say hello to you and said that you can come to our house as a guest if you have the chance."

Haruno's words somewhat relieved Isshiki and Yuigahama, who were worried.

Seeing this, she smiled, picked up her knife and fork and started eating again. The waiter came over and prepared to add red wine to her glass.

"Thank you, no thanks, just give me the same drink as them."

She shook her head and refused the waiter's offer of glass.

Suzumiya Chisato noticed that Yukino was breathing lightly at this time.

She was clearly looking at the panda photo on her phone and was as happy as a child before. How come she became like this after she said hello to her mother? What did the mother and daughter say to each other in that short time just now?

Suzumiya Chisato was puzzled, but there was no way to ask directly now. The timing was bad for one thing, but the main thing was that this was about other people's privacy, and it was not easy to take the initiative to cross the line and interfere.

The dinner in the second half was very orderly.

Isshi Iroha and Yuigahama Yui didn't have so many worries, so they enjoyed the whole process in a very relaxed manner. While tasting the final dessert, they squinted their eyes in satisfaction.

Yang No had been acting like an older sister and a senior, looking at everyone with a smile on her face, but she ate very little herself. When the plate was cleared away in the middle of the meal, there was only a small amount of food on it, but most of it was left. It was not known whether she was full or had lost her appetite for other reasons.

As for Chisato Suzumiya and Yukino, the former's silent observation was noticed by the latter, but Yukino did not react much.

At 7:30 in the evening, everyone finished their meal. Yukinoshita Haruno handed her credit card to the waiter to pay the bill. The waiter returned a moment later with a detailed bill and small gifts for everyone.

Each person gets a small gift bag, which contains a custom-made dry sachet, wet wipes, a preview of next season's set menu, and baked bread and milk for tonight's midnight snack or tomorrow morning.

It's quite attentive.

Under Isshiki Caiyu's aggressive behavior, Yang Noi still couldn't hand her the bill.

Yuigahama Yui also came over to check it out.

The two high school students were frightened by the series of high charges on the bill. None of the charges on the bill were important, and they jumped directly to the total amount at the end of the bill.

The total bill for the five of them tonight was 193,100 yen, including the service charge.

In other words, the average personal consumption per capita is... 38,600 yen...

This is nearly one-third more than the amount Xueno had previously predicted...

Isshi Iroha and Yuigahama Yui originally thought that they would work hard and save some money to treat Haruno to a meal together, or give her a gift of about the same amount as today's meal.

Now it seems that it is not realistic in the short term...

"Well, I had a lot of fun today, thank you guys."

Yang Na stretched and announced the end of today's group activities.

After that, everyone stood up and walked to the door of the restaurant together.

Yang Nai waved to the others at this moment.
