Watching Kiyono Makoto ride away on his bicycle, Eriri let out a soft sigh, dispelling the subtle reluctance in her heart, and then walked through the gate.
Eriri awkwardly made her way through the garden to the villa's main entrance, but as soon as she stepped inside, a sweet and pleasant voice rang out:
"Eri-chan~ You've finally decided to come home."
"Huh..."
Eriri immediately crossed her arms and couldn't help but complain:
"Mom is already an auntie, so she shouldn't use that 'pinky' sound when she speaks."
"Nonsense, Mom is forever eighteen, not some old lady."
A beautiful woman with black hair, dressed in a yukata, walked over. It was Sawamura Sayuri, holding a folding fan in her hand, her eyes full of pleasure. "Who was that boy just now?"
"Wh-what boy?"
Eriri looked away guiltily.
"That's the boy who just rode his bicycle and took Eriri home."
Sawamura Sayuri smiled sweetly, her pretty face full of curiosity. "The surveillance footage is a bit blurry, but if I'm not mistaken, it should be the boy who appeared in the video before, right?"
Eriri tries to change the subject:
"Why is Mom checking the security camera instead of looking at the notebook?"
"My daughter arrived in Tokyo at 7:00, but she still hasn't come home by 9:30. It's normal for a mother to be worried."
Sawamura Sayuri raised her folding fan to cover her mouth, her eyes curving into crescents. "...Eri has finally grown up! Mom is so happy, but please be careful and don't let anyone get hurt."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
Eriri didn't react for a moment.
Sawamura Sayuri gently waved her folding fan, her smile sweet:
"Oh dear~ Mom wants to enjoy life for a few more years; she doesn't want to become a grandmother at eighteen!"
"..."
Eriri finally understood what "being careful" meant, and her pretty face immediately flushed red. She clenched her fists, feeling both embarrassed and angry.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense! I'm just a regular friend of that idiot Kiyono! After we came back from the amusement park, it started raining heavily, so I had to go to Kiyono's house to take shelter from the rain. That's all!"
Sawamura Sayuri smiled and looked over:
"But Eriri's walking posture was really awkward just now, just like the first time Daddy and I walked together..."
"Stop, stop talking!"
Eriri's pretty face flushed, and she explained shyly:
"I accidentally sprained my knee while taking a shower, so it's normal to walk awkwardly!"
"Eh..."
Sawamura Sayuri's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Eriri's knees, and she nodded gently.
"Mom's knees used to get bruised a lot too, would you like me to recommend a lightweight knee brace...?"
"I don't need that kind of thing!"
Eriri was both embarrassed and angry, raising her voice, "It was all an accident, that's why I didn't do what Mom said!"
Seeing Eriri turn into a hissing cat, Sawamura Sayuri finally believed it, and a bored expression appeared on her pretty face:
"Oh, Mom is so disappointed..."
What are you disappointed about?!
Sawamura Sayuri waves her folding fan:
"I'm sad that I can't be a grandma for a while, and I want to cry."
Eriri exclaimed shyly:
"Mom, get out of here! You just said you didn't want to be a grandma!"
"call......"
Sawamura Sayuri raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned.
"I'm so sleepy, I can't keep my eyes open anymore, Mommy's going back to sleep... Eriri, go take a bath and rest early."
"stare--"
Eriri leaned forward, looking closely at Sayuri, her delicate brows furrowing slightly:
Why are Mom's dark circles so bad?
"have no idea."
Sawamura Sayuri shook her head, her voice slightly tired. "I didn't go out all day, and I got up very late this morning, but I just feel incredibly tired. It's probably because I haven't been getting enough rest lately."
After saying that, Sayuri Sawamura yawned again, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
"I'm so sleepy... Mom's going to bed now."
Watching Sayuri Sawamura's departing figure, Eriri's sixth sense vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
"Last month, my mom stayed up all night with me to draw a notebook, and she was still full of energy the next day. She never goes to bed early, but it's only a little past nine o'clock now, and she's already going to bed?"
Something feels off...
"Let's have Mom go for a medical check-up tomorrow."
"..."
Nothing more was said that night.
the next day.
When Kiyono Makoto woke up in the morning, two lines of text quietly appeared before his eyes.
[Today's News 1: GTA6 will be available for pre-order at 10 AM today. If you buy the physical collector's edition, someone will be willing to buy it for five times the price a year later.]
[Today's Information 2: Skillful use of the praise + head pat combination can increase Nishimiya Shoko's training efficiency by 50%]
"Buy it, we absolutely have to buy it to taste how salty it is."
Makoto Kiyono didn't intend to make a fortune from the first piece of information, but after anticipating such a great work for so long, he naturally had to buy it and experience it properly.
"As for the second point... praise and a pat on the head should be useful for learning to swim, right?"
Makoto Kiyono picked up his phone from beside his pillow, found Shoko Nishimiya's profile picture, and sent a message:
"Good morning, Shoko-kun. Are you up yet?"
The message was quickly marked as read.
Still half-asleep in bed, Nishimiya Shoko saw the message and quickly sat up, like a soldier receiving an inspection from his superior:
Good morning... I'm up.
Kiyono Makoto: "I'll send you the address of the swimming pool. Meet me at the entrance of the swimming pool at nine o'clock this morning."
"...I will definitely be there on time."
Nishimiya Shoko secretly breathed a sigh of relief, covered her phone to her chest, and prepared to get up and wash.
at the same time.
In the next room.
"...There are footsteps in the hallway, is that my sister?"
Nishimiya Yuzuru rolled over and listened intently to the sounds outside.
"Mom's already at work by now, and Grandma's probably at the convenience store buying groceries. It must be my sister."
The image of Makoto Kiyono flashed through Yuzuru Nishimiya's mind, and she quickly sat up:
"You want to call your sister out, right?"
"We must find out where that guy took my sister today. If he dares to take her to a hotel... he must be sentenced to death!"
Yuzuru Nishimiya took a deep breath, composed her facial expression, and then went out to wash up.
Good morning, Yuzuru.
Nishimiya Shoko's voice was gentle and soft, but when she didn't speak for a long time, her tone became somewhat awkward.
"Good morning, sister."
Yuzuru Nishimiya nodded in response, and after washing up, he put his hands in his pockets and was about to leave.
"Yuzuru, have breakfast first..."
Nishimiya Shoko hurriedly called out.
"I'm not eating anymore."
Without turning her head, Nishimiya Yuzuru said, "I'm going out to hang out with my friends today."
"..."
After leaving home, Nishimiya Yuzuru quickly arrived at a familiar, secluded alley, took out a hooded sweatshirt from his backpack, put it on, and then patiently lay in wait.
Half an hour later.
Seeing Shoko leave with her schoolbag, Nishimiya Yuzuru pulled his hood down, put his hands in his pockets, and quietly followed her.
There were many people in the morning, and Shoko had no sense of counter-surveillance at all, completely unaware of her sister-chan behind her, and thus arrived at the agreed location.
"Good morning, Shoko-san."
Makoto Kiyono had already arrived at the entrance of the swimming pool.
"Good morning, Kiyono-kun..."
Nishimiya Shoko blushed slightly and quickly responded in a low voice.
"let's go."
After a brief greeting, Kiyono Makoto turned and led the way, saying, "I'll try to learn to swim in a day."
"Um, well... I have incoordination in my limbs..."
Nishimiya Shoko stammered, looking troubled.
"I used to take swimming lessons, but I could never learn to swim..."
"With me here, I guarantee you'll learn to swim."
Kiyono Makoto said confidently, "Just follow my instructions."
"Uh-huh."
Nishimiya Shoko nodded hurriedly, following Kiyono Makoto like a dutiful wife as they entered the swimming pool one after the other.
"...What was that man doing bringing my sister into the swimming pool?"
In the corner, Yuzuru Nishimiya looked bewildered.
Let's have a date at the swimming pool?
Elementary school students wouldn't choose to go on a date at a swimming pool, would they?
Could it be that he's teaching his older sister how to swim?
impossible.
That man definitely has ulterior motives; it can't be as simple as just swimming!
"No matter the cost, I must protect my sister..."
Chapter 82 Glass and the Head Pat.
"Women's changing room is here."
After registering at the front desk, Seino Makoto took Shoko and went directly to the locker room.
"Shoko, please go inside and change into your swimsuit. You can turn off your phone or silence it, otherwise it will disturb others."
"it is good......"
