My love game with them that will lead to certain death

In Eriri's room, the blonde girl curled up in the corner of her big bed, looking helplessly at Sayuri who moved the whiteboard into the bedroom and even put on black-framed glasses and began to seriously list out Toru's personality traits.

"Yeah, I understand all that...but why are you suddenly playing this teacher play, mom?"

"Oh my, this opportunity never comes again. It's a rare opportunity for mom to help you two adjust your relationship when you two are having a quarrel~"

Sayuri adjusted her collar with great interest, and she looked as serious as a first-time teacher.

"By the way, mom, is your work okay? Why did you suddenly want to come home?"

"Compared to my lovely babies, it's better to just take a day off from work. As for the reason for going home..."

Ms. Sayuri adjusted her glasses and smiled at her daughter.

"Tetsu-chan said that he was going on a long trip, and he was worried that you would be lonely at home, so he hoped that I would be able to come back and spend time with you, Eriri."

"Well... who wants him to meddle in other people's business..."

Eriri embarrassedly buried the lower half of her face in the pillow in her arms. Although she said tough words, her tone had unintentionally become much softer than before.

"If you're worried that I'll be lonely, then don't go out without saying anything, or take me with you... idiot."

"Ahem, let's get back to the point. You can probably tell from this incident, Eriri."

Sayuri cleared her throat and tapped the whiteboard with the marker in her hand in a serious manner.

"Although Toru-chan is warm on the outside but cold on the inside to people other than her family, she really cares about you. At least, more than you think."

"Who, who knows what he's thinking... How can you be so sure, mom..."

"You two are my precious children after ten months of pregnancy. Don't I know what kind of personalities my babies have?"

Sayuri moved closer to Eriri, who was still curled up in a ball, and stroked her head gently with extra tenderness.

"Tetsu-chan is a kid who is actually very afraid of trouble. But he can be a housekeeper. He will cook for you just because you want to eat your brother's cooking. Even if you occasionally quarrel with him, Tetsu-chan will never complain to mom and dad about your faults. As a brother, Tetsu-chan is really competent."

"Humph……"

“I know this…”

Ying Lili puffed up her cheeks like a guinea pig, and even though she understood what her mother was saying, she still refused to give in.

Admittedly, this is why she relies on and trusts her brother - but this is also why she hates him.

Always think of yourself as a brother who needs to take care of her, and always think of her as a sister who needs to be taken care of.

"He's obviously a very self-righteous guy..."

"Oh my, it turns out that Eriri and Toru-chan's relationship is even worse than I thought."

Sayuri scratched her cheek in embarrassment. Although she knew that the brother and sister often had friction since they were young, and they were estranged from each other for a long time after entering puberty (mainly because Eriri was unilaterally cold and indifferent to her brother who surpassed her in all aspects), she did not expect the situation to be so serious.

Sayuri had heard from the housekeeper and aunts at home that the relationship between the two siblings had eased recently and that they got along much more closely than before, so she felt somewhat relieved - but she hadn't expected that Eriri still had some prejudice against her brother.

Of course, the two siblings kept their body swap a secret, and Sayuri never thought that they might be trapped in a super-ordinary phenomenon.

"…It hasn't come to that, but I really hate that guy Toru who thinks he's some caring elder just because he was born a few minutes earlier than me…Who needs his care?"

"Well... after all, Toru-chan is the older brother. Although he is indeed a child who can do everything, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have to work hard to do anything. It's understandable that as a brother, he worries about his sister's affairs."

“Mom, why do you keep speaking for that guy Toru…!”

"Because you are all my lovely babies, I can't just watch you misunderstand each other."

Sayuri hugged her daughter in her arms and soothed her daughter's anxious heart with gentle and soft words.

"Hmm...but I feel like he's not too happy about Ren and I getting in touch again..."

Eriri expressed her feelings awkwardly. In fact, this was the reason why she said angrily, "If I could get my body back, I would go and confess to Tomoya."

"Well... that's natural. Tetsu-chan is the older brother, and he's also a boy... he'll definitely be a hundred times more wary of boys who appear around Eriri. And it's really like Tetsu-chan said... Tomoya-kun isn't really suitable to be around Eriri."

Although Sayuri had no objection to Tomoya's contact with Eriri at first and even welcomed it, after the two broke up, she could not stand her son's analysis of Tomoya Aki and gradually acquiesced to his change in attitude towards Tomoya Aki.

"Tetsu-chan is actually a very rare boy who is very attentive, even though he always acts careless and careless. For example, when Eriri and Tomoya-kun had a falling out... although he was not there in person, he was watching silently from the side. If Eriri was in a situation where she needed help, Toru-chan would definitely notice it earlier than mom and dad, and would lend a helping hand to you first."

"Why is mom so sure..."

"Because mom and dad can only accompany you for the next fifty or sixty years of your life, but Toru-chan will always be with you - after all, elders will die, lovers will separate, and only Toru-chan will always be with you and rely on each other."

They were connected by the same blood since birth, and they cannot be separated from each other for the rest of their lives.

It's like another self.

"But even with such a close relationship, the bond of blood can still be worn away by harsh words. We are a family, and we should express our thoughts to each other frankly - don't wait until the misunderstanding becomes irreversible before regretting it, because by then it will be too late."

Sayuri has a bright and radiant smile. She regards her two children as the most important treasures God has given her - so she will do everything she can to give them a good life, and will also let them care for each other as much as possible.

Chapter 33: Reversal of Brothers and Sisters

"Maybe it's because they grew up together, so it's hard for Eriri to notice her brother Toru's strengths. But in fact, in my mother's eyes, Toru likes Eriri more than you think. Although he certainly won't say so."

"No way, he obviously likes to use sweet words to chat with girls..."

"Oh, so this is what Eriri cares about?"

"No - I just simply hate him! I have hated Toru since I was a child!"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Although it doesn't sound like that at all.

And no matter how you look at it, she seems to care a lot about the relationship between her brother and other girls.

"But Eriri doesn't need to worry at all. Although those so-called mature and stable older women will have an inexplicable attraction to boys of this age, Eriri's significance to Tetsu-chan is far beyond what those girls can compare to."

As the mother of the brother and sister, Sayuri hit upon the point that Eriri cared about most without much explanation.

“Really…?”

Although Eriri said that she didn't care, she still started to ask about her mother's attitude in a subtle way.

"How can people outside compare to our blood relatives? Eriri, you are too cold-blooded in imagining Toru-chan."

"I... it's at this point..."

Eriri was totally unsure about her brother's attitude.

From the initial hostility to the unconscious dependence later, she realized belatedly that she had gradually become unable to be separated from her twin brother for too long, and her daily life had been slowly filled with his presence.

But if it wasn't like that for him, then it would be meaningless.

She treated him as an indispensable brother and an important part of her life, but if he didn't see herself to the same extent, what was the difference between him and Tomoya Aki.

"No... Although it seems that Toru and Ren can't be compared... That shouldn't be possible, right?"

Of course, Eriri herself was a little taken aback the moment she realized she had unconsciously compared the two people.

After all, it seems that my brother and the person I have had a crush on for many years cannot be compared... I don't think so.

"So this is why communication is necessary, Eriri."

Sayuri gently pinched her daughter's chubby little face and finally coaxed her into the topic she wanted to talk about.

"It's certainly okay to express your concern for Tetsu-chan to your mother, but there are some things that won't work unless you say them to her face to face."

"It's not like I haven't tried before..."

"Using stubborn irony to express your feelings, not everyone will understand."

Furthermore, even if you are pitifully asking someone to pay more attention to you, using a too harsh tone will make people feel disgusted.

"Express your thoughts frankly with words. Even if Toru-chan will indeed stay with you for a long time, none of us know when we will be able to talk to each other again - we don't even know if this will be the last time, right?"

"Well……"

Indeed, Eriri felt very uneasy during the two days when Toru packed his luggage and went out without informing her in advance - of course, if it weren't for this lonely time, she might not have realized her dependence on and care for her brother.

“Oh my dear baby, don’t frown! Mommy has come back to accompany you on behalf of Toru-chan~ Mumumumumumumumu——!”

"Mom, stop making trouble, Mom!"

Before Eriri's mood became even lower, Sayuri took the initiative to hug her precious daughter's neck tightly, and then bombarded Eriri's delicate face like a woodpecker - Eriri tried very hard but still couldn't break free, and finally had to half-heartedly become her mother's plaything.

"Eri, are you planning to publish any new works recently? Mom will be back for a day or two, so would you mind helping me contact the editor-in-chief and the printing company~"

"No, I don't have any plans for now, Mom... The production has been low recently..."

"Why? Is it because I've been spending more time with Toru-chan lately, and you two little guys are secretly playing other games to kill time without telling us?"

“Ahahahahaha, you guys guessed it all, ahahahaha——” (emotionless)

Of course, "Because of the body swap, my career has to be put on hold indefinitely" - this secret between the two siblings is of course impossible to tell their mother.

Although Eriri was not used to her mother playing and joking with her like peers, this close yet friendly parent-child mode of interaction allowed her to relax and confide her thoughts.

Maybe, like Sayuri said, it would be better to wait until Toru comes back and communicate with him calmly.

"And if Eriri said something harsh to Toru before, you should apologize as well. We are a family and there is no need for formalities, but if you give in again and again, you will push away the closest people."

Sayuri is very good at teaching Eriri things in a soft and gentle voice, which is one of the reasons why she has been spoiled since she was a child but has a good heart.

"I, I know... I know it without you reminding me, Mom."

Under Sayuri's patient and meticulous guidance, Eriri let go of a lot of unnecessary reserve and waited for her brother's return with a mixture of trepidation and a little anticipation.

Before leaving, Toru said that he was going on a long journey, but he did not give a specific date for his return, but this did not stop Eriri from looking forward to it.

Even when she stayed at home, bad luck still surrounded her, and it was common for her to almost fall in the bathroom or bite her tongue while eating - but these common bad luck had become a part of her daily life.

It doesn’t matter. It’s just bad luck. The important thing right now is another thing.

It was another afternoon after school. After returning home and changing out of her school uniform, Eriri lay on the railing of the balcony outside her second-floor bedroom, looking at the endless stream of cars passing by.

She had been performing the same actions at the same time for the past two days, until this time, when Eriri was looking out listlessly, she welcomed the person she had been expecting to return.

The black car gradually stopped at the door of the house. The moment the curly-haired boy stuck his head out from the back seat, Eriri's eyes lit up a little bit——

But when she saw a woman with long black hair appear from the back seat, the light in her eyes froze.

Why did the second daughter of the Yukinoshita family appear in the Sawamura family's car?

Chapter 34 True Intentions

As far as Ying Lili could remember, she had never been separated from her brother for such a long time - a full two days and one night.

Although the two had a bad relationship in the past, even if they had a big fight in the morning, they would still reluctantly take the same car home and eat at the same table after school in the afternoon. Eriri had long been accustomed to a life where they would see each other every day, but one day, such a routine suddenly changed.

And when she finally waited for her brother to come home, he was accompanied by the woman she had been extremely concerned about before.

——For a moment, I felt that all my anxiety and anticipation over the past two days were in vain.

Standing on the balcony and seeing the curly-haired boy returning home safely, Eriri's originally overwhelmed excitement immediately faded away, and her face was immediately replaced by a look of scrutiny with a hint of hostility.

The second daughter of the Yukinoshita family, a woman who is ten years older than Beecher - why is she here?

Despite her extreme curiosity about this, Eriri suppressed her restlessness, turned around and walked out of the bedroom as calmly as possible, walked down the corridor and stairs to the hall, waiting for the door to be pushed open by someone.

Sayuri had already changed into a loose nightgown and was waiting at the door with starry eyes for her son to return.

"Ah, even though it was Toru-chan who contacted me to come back, I haven't seen him in a while - this little guy must have gotten a little more handsome!"

"That's not right. He dared to bring a woman home."

Eriri was secretly thinking this in her heart, but seeing her mother's pure joy because her son was coming home, it seemed that she didn't notice at all that Toru had brought back guests.

Ying Lili held her hands in front of her body, and remained unmoved even when her mother put her arms around her neck affectionately. She maintained a cold attitude and waited for the door to be opened.

About two or three minutes later, there was the sound of a key turning in the door lock.

A curly-haired boy carrying a suitcase pushed the door open and walked in. His handsome and delicate face was full of fatigue and exhaustion from the long journey. Not far behind him, Yukinoshita Yukino gave a polite smile to Eriri and Sayuri who were inside the door, and bowed slightly.

“Ah, Toru-chan baby! Come here and let mommy kiss you—Hey, who’s that person behind you…?”

Sayuri, who originally wanted to hug the boy and kiss him dozens of times the moment her son opened the door, restrained her actions because she noticed the presence of outsiders. However, after a brief moment of surprise, the trance on her face was immediately replaced by another emotion.

It was a bit of curiosity and secret delight, as if he was sizing up his "future daughter-in-law".

"Ahhhh, Toru-chan actually brought a girl home? This is unprecedented..."

Hearing this, Eriri couldn't control her expression and couldn't help but twitch her lips. Minghai, who had just returned home from a long journey, had no time to deal with his mother's gossip. After handing his luggage to the housekeeper, he walked into the house with a sense of relief.

"Hello, auntie. My name is Yukinoshita Yukino, and I'm Tohru's friend. I happened to meet Tohru while traveling a few days ago, so we just went home together."

Outside the door, Yukinoshita Yukino knew her place and nodded slightly to Sayuri as a courtesy. This polite and tactful remark filled Sayuri's already curious eyes with a different color.
