Today, I made a small adjustment to my work and rest schedule~

I will continue with five updates tomorrow!

I don't know why, but I've been feeling a bit sleepy today.

I’m so sorry!!!

Volume 96: Part Madam, your daughter seems to be troubled recently... [Update ]

Studying is the only thing that Terajima Shino is good at.

That is to say, for Terajima Shino... it is the only possibility to change her fate.

Even if your grades only drop slightly on weekdays, it means—

After falling from the top five in the school to outside the top ten, Class A's homeroom teacher had to talk on the phone with Terajima Shino's mother for a long time.

Terajima Shino absolutely could not accept her mother's worried look.

But this time——

This time——

She did very badly on the test.

After the exam, Terajima Shino felt cold all over. She looked helplessly at Wakaba Takanashi in front of her, and even had thoughts of committing suicide.

She held the strap of her schoolbag tightly in her hand, as if it was her last straw.

Looking at Terajima Shino like this, Takanashi Wakaba suddenly felt a little emotional.

$爾莁琳;Wu厁(八)Qi{Yi Shanqun If——

If she is neither a time traveler nor has she obtained the system.

If the relationship between her and Terajima Shino was not as deep as it is now.

Perhaps, for a good kid like Terajima Shino, leaving Takanashi Wakaba is the best choice.

She was supposed to appear like a hero and save Terajima Shino from the bad students.

Then--

It should just disappear.

Don't disturb Terajima Shino's life.

Gently holding Terajima Shino's hand, the two of them walked home from school.

Takanashi Wakaba rubbed Terajima Shino's cold and stiff palms, as if she wanted to warm and soften the girl's palms bit by bit.

No one said anything like if you didn’t do well in the exam this time, just try harder next time.

Takanashi Wakaba knew that such words were of no use to Terajima Shino at this moment.

"Is Shino free tomorrow?" She hugged Terajima Shino and rubbed her cheek against the hair hanging beside Terajima Shino's ear.

The moist and warm breath hit her face, and behind her was the soft and warm chest of Takanashi Wakaba. She sobbed and almost forgot to breathe.

Takanashi Wakaba's figure is not inferior to Terajima Shino's.

Even...because of her overly slender body, Takanashi Wakaba's lines may look more prominent than Terajima Shino's.

It's just that Takanashi Wakaba likes to cover herself with loose school uniforms, which is why she doesn't leave a very deep impression on people.

Right now...Terajima Shino actually felt it.

"Yes...yes..." she answered subconsciously, then she remembered that something was wrong.

After the exam is over, it is a good time for the dessert shop to open.

She should stay in the store and help her mother tomorrow.

But she had already promised Ruoye, and...this was Ruoye's invitation.

Terajima Shino is not good at saying no.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been coerced so easily and almost ended up having to "work".

"How about getting up at four o'clock tomorrow morning to help mother peel sweet potatoes?"

"Then we should still have time to find Wakaba-san."

The main dessert of Terajima Shino's dessert shop is taro yokan, which is a dessert made with mashed sweet potatoes.

She often helps her mother with chores, and her fingers often have calluses.

Therefore, whenever Takanashi Wakaba carefully held her hand and rubbed and traced the outline of her palm, Terajima Shino was always extremely shy.

But Takanashi Wakaba just likes to see girls being shy.

"Then I'll come find Shino tomorrow and ask her to help me with my homework!"

"I want to switch from science to liberal arts."

"Help me! Lady Shino!" Takanashi Wakaba hugged Terajima Shino as if begging.

"Okay... okay?" Terajima Shino had no idea how to refuse Wakaba who was acting like a spoiled child towards her.

Then she reacted.

Wait!

Wakaba-san was talking about...she came to see me?!

Terajima Shino, who was already feeling a little embarrassed because of her family, felt her lips go numb. "Should...should I go find Ruoye?"

She tried to struggle quietly, but was decisively rejected by Kotori Wakaba, "No——"

"It's so weird that Shino always comes to see me."

"Besides... Auntie will be worried."

"Is it because Auntie hates me that Shino..."

"That's not the case!" Terajima Shino hurriedly stopped Takanashi Wakaba's fantastic idea, "Mother... loves Wakaba-san very much."

By the time Terajima Shino reacted, it had already been confirmed that Takanashi Wakaba would visit her the next day.

If that's the case...there's no chance of escaping.

This time, it was not Terajima Shino who sent Takanashi Wakaba home, but Takanashi Wakaba who sent Terajima Shino all the way to the commercial street.

After crossing the intersection, turn right and you will see Terajima Shino's dessert shop.

Wakaba Kotori, who was fully aware of Terajima Shino's inferiority complex, stopped at the intersection.

She carefully protected Terajima Shino's self-esteem.

When they were young, some sensitive children would feel inferior because of their family and their parents' occupations and would find it difficult to speak up.

Even if it is a very serious and difficult job.

Terajima Shino is like that.

Give her a little more time to prepare.

With this thought in mind, Takanashi Wakaba parted ways with Terajima Shino at the crossroads.

Terajima Shino is grateful to Takanashi Wakaba.

Before I knew it, the panic in my heart caused by my grades had faded a little.

Terajima Shino returned to the dessert shop, put down her schoolbag, tied on an apron and started working for her mother.

At the intersection of the commercial street, Takanashi Wakaba did not choose to leave directly.

She waited for a while, and soon, a dignified and mature woman wearing an apron from a dessert shop arrived at the intersection.

While the woman was looking at Kotori Wakaba seriously, Kotori Wakaba was also looking back at the woman in front of her with ease.

A plump and mature woman who is almost cut from the same mold as Terajima Shino.

Because of the wonderful elements of this world, it seems particularly young.

The wonderful combination of elements makes her look like a young woman who has just turned 30, and also like a mature and beautiful wife who is about to drip peach juice.

If this were a comic, I'd probably say something like, "Madam, your daughter seems to be having some troubles lately..."

Then eat both fish.

But after all, Takanashi Wakaba is not such a villain, at least not now.

She clasped her hands together in front of her and bowed respectfully to the woman, "Auntie——"

Terajima Mana looked at Wakaba Kotori, who looked like a young lady from a wealthy family, and asked, "Kotori, are you waiting for me?"

Since her daughter kept repeating the girl's name every day, Terajima Mano naturally remembered the name.

"Changyue Private School is holding exams these days." Takanashi Wakaba went straight to the point.

"It's been hard for Auntie to raise Shino alone."

"Because of this, Shino has always been under a lot of pressure. She has always been worried..."

"Will I be sorry for my aunt's efforts?"

Terajima Manano showed a worried and helpless look.

She has always known her daughter's obedience and inferiority.

But there is no way.

Takanashi Wakaba looked at the sad expression on Terajima Mano's face, which was exactly the purpose of her trip.

"if you can--"

"Auntie, can you be a little happier in front of Shino?"

She made a serious request to Terajima Mano.

Sometimes parents don't mean to put pressure on their children.

However, their words and actions, which they themselves did not even notice, weighed on the children's shoulders like a heavy burden.

If the problem can be solved through communication, Takanashi Wakaba doesn't mind "ringing the bell" herself.

Terajima Mano looked at the girl in front of her.

She couldn't help but sigh, "Kid Kotori is such a gentle child."

"I see."

Terajima Mano placed her hands on her knees, leaned slightly in front of Takanashi Wakaba, and smiled gently, "Like this~"

"Is that okay?"

Volume 97: Part : Wakaba Kotori is Beloved [Update ]

Force a smile.

Terajima Mano looked at the girl in front of her who seemed to be persuading her in a serious tone. She really liked Wakaba Takanashi.

Shino is able to make friends like this——

Terajima Mano was genuinely happy for Shino.

The girl was right, although it was hard to raise Shino alone.

Terajima Mano has also been trying hard not to let Shino feel pressured.

Fortunately, Terajima Shino's grades were very good and did not disappoint her expectations. She completely became Terajima Mano's inner sustenance.

But since we are human beings, we are bound to have pressure.

The worries that Terajima Manano could not hide would still be a heavy burden on Terajima Shino's heart.

She really needs Wakaba Takanashi to 'ring the bell'.

To be honest...looking at Aunt Mano like this, Takanashi Wakaba felt a bad feeling in her heart.

I always feel like I'm forcing Aunt Terajima to smile gently.
