I have bound two systems.

Both of them held back and said nothing, so Kasumigaoka was able to continue.

"We camped in that beautiful place and built a bonfire in the open air. Qianli, you caught fish with your homemade fishing rod, and I was responsible for cleaning up and cooking. During this time, we were free and unrestrained, basking in the sun during the day and sleeping in each other's arms at night. We were extremely happy and comfortable..."

"That sounds good. Maybe we can try this kind of vacation later. But the first thing you mentioned before..."

"Don't interrupt me."

"……okay."

"We were enjoying this peaceful and tranquil time, but the weather did not go as we wished. It soon began to drizzle. We thought the rain would last for a while and then stop, but it got heavier and heavier, accompanied by strong winds. Our tent could not withstand such bad weather, so we packed up and drove back."

"..."

Chisato Suzumiya, who had just been warned, was still a little confused. He didn't understand what Kasumigaoka Utaha meant by saying this, but facing the other party's serious gaze, he nodded to show that he was listening carefully.

"On the way back, the rain didn't stop, visibility was poor, the road was muddy, and the tires' grip was greatly reduced. In such a harsh environment, an accident really happened. The cliffs beside the mountain road had fallen some rocks due to the heavy rain. Qianli, you managed to avoid the rocks by turning the steering wheel, but unfortunately you crashed into the cliff beside the road. The impact was so severe that you lost consciousness."

"..."

This time it wasn't silence, this time Suzumiya Chisato was truly speechless,

"So...what happens next?"

"The car lost power, you fell into a coma, and the weather outside was so bad. I was sitting in the passenger seat with tears streaming down my face, at a loss. In such a desperate situation, who do you think saved us?"

"That mysterious third person you mentioned at the beginning but who never had a name?"

Eriri interrupted again.

Kasumigaoka Utaha pretended not to hear. She slowly approached Suzumiya Chisato, held his hands, and spoke word by word.

"It's our daughter."

"puff……!"

Eriri Sawamura really couldn't help it anymore.

After such a long period of preparation, the real purpose has finally been revealed.

Suzumiya Chisato raised her eyelids.

Eriri became a good-for-nothing fat otaku, and I became an idiot who went camping without checking the weather forecast in advance and deliberately chose such a dangerous route on the way back, all for the purpose of highlighting my daughter who appeared later...

As soon as I got home, Kasumigaoka Utaha was extremely flattering to me, and acted like she wanted to get something from me.

Look at this table full of delicious and tasty dishes: garlic oysters, stir-fried geoduck, juicy eel, roasted pigeon... most of them have the effect of strengthening the kidneys and improving sexual function, and strengthening the body.

Chisato Suzumiya seemed to understand something.

He held Shiyu's small hand in his palm.

"There's no need to make such a fuss about this kind of thing. Rather, I actually think that given our current age, the timing is about right."

"...!"

After a moment of surprise, Kasumigaoka Utaha's gentle eyes quickly softened.

"Aha?"

Now, it was Ying Lili who was standing next to her that was a little confused.

Did it go so smoothly?

…………

Chapter 70: The Transformation from a Girl to a Young Woman (Two in One)

Puff, whose scientific name is choux pastry, is a dessert originating from Italy. The cream dough is filled with milky white cream and ice cream.

Because of its soft, sweet texture, it is loved by most people and is a regular item on the shelves of various cake and dessert shops.

When Ying Lili goes to the cake shop, she likes to buy two puffs. She puts them in the refrigerator after returning home, and takes them out after a while to eat with coffee. They are cool and refreshing.

However, after that night, after witnessing Kasumigaoka Utaha's... condition up close, she inexplicably felt a little weird about this kind of dessert food.

I always feel that I will never be able to look directly at this snack dessert again.

"Hey, how are you feeling..."

In the room, the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, and the night light was dim.

Eriri picked up the blanket to cover herself, slowly walked to Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was lying on the bed and was too lazy to move, tried her best not to look down, and pushed her shoulder.

Chisato Suzumiya got up and went to take a shower, which left the two of them with space to have a private conversation.

"call--"

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her arms to her forehead and then put them down, letting out a sigh of relief.

She tilted her head to look at Eriri who was greeting her. Her face, which had become more beautiful because of the exhausting exercise just now, now showed a faint smile.

"To be honest, I almost thought I was going to die just now."

Ying Lili couldn't help but be surprised.

"It's not that exaggerated."

"I'm not kidding you. You saw Qianli's state just now. His excitement level is much higher than before."

"Really? I don't feel anything."

"Of course you didn't feel anything. In less than 20 minutes you started crying and said you were exhausted and needed a rest. In the end I had to bear it all."

"…Hey, I'm not crying!"

Eriri responded rather weakly. Although the truth was not as Kasumigaoka Utaha said, she was indeed not in good shape today for some reason. Or perhaps it was because Suzumiya Chisato increased the intensity of today's confrontation practice.

"But seriously, are you really okay? Just now... at the last moment, your eyeballs rolled up, and it looked like you were going to faint at any moment..."

"Oh... I lost consciousness for a while, but overall, it's still acceptable. After all..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha touched her lower abdomen. The expression on her face now showed a gentle desire to protect something that was about to come into being, as well as the aftertaste of the excitement after the previous passion faded away.

"I advise you not to have such high expectations. This kind of thing is based on probability. Even if it happens so many times in a short period of time, it only increases the originally very small probability a little bit."

"I know. I'm not in a hurry. This kind of anticipation is also part of the process. I can wait slowly. During this period of time, I will also stop working at the publishing house. I will go to bed early and get up early every day, and eat healthier. By the way, I will also sign up for a yoga class or something."

"You really want to prepare for the future..."

"What do you think? I'm like this."

Kasumigaoka Utaha slowly stood up.

"But then again, you really won't come with me?"

"With you..."

"If two people are together in this kind of situation, it will make people feel more at ease."

"You mean the parents..."

"That's secondary. If two pregnant women are together, because we are in the same situation, we will empathize with many things. In this way, our relationship will get better without us realizing it."

"Um... Although this is true, I don't know why it makes me feel a little creepy when you say it."

"It's up to you. I just mentioned it casually. The decision is yours. Another important point is that I don't want the baby in my belly to be alone after it is born, without any friends to play with her."

“You can make a lot of friends in professional infant classrooms or mother classes.”

"Having said that, it's still not as good as blood relatives."

"..."

Relatives...

Eriri never expected to hear such a word from Kasumigaoka Utaha's mouth.

It feels very subtle...

However, thinking back on the journey that they have taken in the past, she is indeed closely connected with Kasumigaoka Utaha through the bond of Chisato Suzumiya.

In the past, when they were students, they were carefree and only needed to focus on the things in front of them, without thinking too much... But now thinking back, it is true that from a very early time on, the two of them were no longer the kind of relationship that only existed on the surface and played around.

Their relationship with each other is deeper and there is some kind of bond between them...it's a very warm one.

"What are you two talking about?"

Chisato Suzumiya finished her shower and returned to her room.

"It's okay. I'm just thinking about some plans for after the little one in my belly comes out."

Kasumigaoka Utaha answered before Eriri.

Suzumiya Chisato couldn't help but laugh.

"It's good to think about the future, but it's too early."

He sat on the bed and held Kasumigaoka Utaha in his arms.

"It's not too late to consider it after it's confirmed."

"If we really wait until it's confirmed, it will be too late. By the way, I accidentally saw some healthy recipes for women preparing for pregnancy. I can prepare them tomorrow."

"Unintentional?"

"You still care about this now?"

They smiled at each other, then leaned forward at the same time and gently held their lips together. This simple action was full of sugar and infinite sweetness.

"That... Qianli..."

At this time, Ying Lili came over slowly.

She looked hesitant, but Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was staring at her, seemed to understand something, her eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of her lips raised.

"I'm going to take a shower and then go straight to Eriri's room. Remember to come over when you're done. A dry bed will definitely be more comfortable for sleeping."

As she spoke, she slowly walked out of the room, supporting her somewhat sore body.

After hearing her words, Eriri lowered her head shyly.

Even though they have been together for so many years, when she thought about what she was going to do next, she still felt like she was back to the first night she spent with the person she loved. She felt a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.

"Eiriri?"

"Qianli... I think it's time for us to take a step forward."

Eriri mustered up her courage and said this thought, which became increasingly clear during her conversation with Kasumigaoka.

She moved closer on her own initiative, and the thin blanket in her hand fell down as the force disappeared.

"..."

Suzumiya Chisato, who understood the meaning of her words, did not respond in a hurry, but touched her head and asked softly,

"When I went to take a shower just now, Eriri, what did you and Shiyu talk about?"

"Nothing, just some insignificant topics."

"That shouldn't be the case... I think you don't have to worry, Eriri. You don't have to be anxious about what's happening around you. Even if Shiyu and I decide to have a baby, our relationship won't change at all, and I won't ignore you or anything like that."

"That's not it. I never thought about it that way. I just didn't figure it out at first... and now, I think there's nothing wrong with taking a step forward!"

Eriri moved even closer, and placed her hands on Chisato Suzumiya's chest, exerting her own weight on him. In the dim environment, her eyes were slightly red, just like her face.

"...Or... does Qianli not want to... not want to have... that kind of future with me?"

...Don't you want to?

How can it be!

To borrow some outrageous remarks from the Internet, he even wanted to put *@＃ in it.

Perhaps it was because both Shiyu and Eriri were particularly proactive tonight, and their previous worries disappeared. There was no longer that 0.01 distance that prevented them from truly getting close to each other, and Suzumiya Chisato's interest was completely ignited.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had originally agreed to go to another room and wait for them on the clean bed, but after taking a quick shower and hearing the unspeakable sound in the room, she somehow changed her pace and joined them.

Tonight is destined to be a late night.

The next morning, the three of them sat together to eat breakfast.

Out of her own ideas, Chisato Suzumiya took the initiative to mention the idea of ​​visiting Kasumigaoka and the Sawamura family.

The two of them took the initiative to express their desire to move forward, so he naturally had to support them with practical actions on his side.

Just like Yoko's mother had already known about his relationship with Kazusa, he felt that Eriri and Shiyu could not keep it a secret from their families forever. Even for their own sake, it was necessary to resolve their family situation as soon as possible. It would have to be dealt with sooner or later, so it would be better to solve it now.

However, in response to his suggestion, both Eriri and Kasumigaoka united in saying that it was not necessary.
