Tokyo Soft Rice King

Takanashi Akiko nodded with satisfaction.

"Hmm~ Very good, huh? Speaking of which, since Xiao Tong asked you, Kuroba-kun, to come with her, then you and my future should be friends, right? Why don't you just call the child by his name?"

However, we are not friends... We have only met once and have never spoken to each other.

This point needs to be made clear to avoid misunderstanding.

"Actually, I'm not particularly close to Kotori Yu. It's because Ban... Tong thinks I'm better at persuading others, so she asked me to come over, hoping that I can help Kotori Yu get over it."

In order to prove to Akiko Takanashi that he and the class monitor are good friends, Kuroba Akira called the class monitor's name, which was very rare.

This was a pleasant surprise for Hitomi Asato. The curves of her eyes and mouth corners became bigger, and her smile became sweeter.

She still remembered that Hei Yuming said that he would only call her by her name when encountering something very important or in a formal occasion.

It seems that when facing "outsiders", Kuroba Akira is still "one of his own", which makes Anri Hitomi very happy.

"I see... Well, thank you so much for troubling me this time... And for making such a special trip for my daughter... How can I thank you?"

"Well, I'll talk about thanking you after I actually pull Kotori-san out of the room... Actually, could you please answer the question I just asked?"

Upon hearing that Kuroba Akira was the 'expert' specially invited by Asato Hitomi, Takanashi Akiko put away her overly friendly attitude towards her 'daughter's friend' and answered seriously.

"Just now, Kuroba-kun, you asked who built these models, right? I built all the ones in the living room... Um, as a mother, is it really strange for me to have such an interest?"

"I don't think it's a big deal. There's no hierarchy of interests. As long as you like it, it's the most suitable interest for you."

Although Akiko Takanashi's wife image is more suitable for knitting sweaters or embroidery, a wife who likes to assemble models and paint... isn't it also quite exciting?

"Actually, I had no interest in these things before, but after joining the voice actor agency, the director influenced me... She said that in order for me to get along well with my son in the future, I should learn about these things that 'boys' like. In the end, I ended up liking them myself..."

And instead of a son, she gave birth to a daughter. All these 'advance preparations' were in vain in the end.

I mean, no wonder Mirai Kotori was named "Mirai". She actually started preparing for future children so early. How much does she want children?

It gets even more awkward when I think about it carefully...

Don't understand what's sour? Let Gentleman Ming explain it briefly.

Want a child → Want to get pregnant → Juice girl → Party every night

This shows that Akiko Takanashi is an outstanding woman who is very willing to help the country increase its fertility rate.

If it weren't for her husband's accidental death, Kotori Yuya would definitely not be an only child. She would at least be on a basketball team, and if she tried harder, even a baseball team would not be impossible.

And now, this wife may not have been happy for more than ten years after her husband passed away.

In other words, beneath her seemingly gentle and kind surface, she hides the terrifying Xing Yu that has accumulated for more than ten years.

Doesn’t that sound a bit astringent?

However, Hei Yuming was not here to capture married women, so it was just a thought, and he did not have the special fetish that Boss Cao had.

After talking about the opportunity that made her fall in love with models, Akiko Takanashi held her cheek and recalled something that happened a long time ago.

"Come to think of it, the ones who came to our house before were... Sumitomo-kun and Mitsui-kun, right? Those two kids weren't interested in models, what a shame..."

Asato Hitomi explained.

"After all, those two joined the football club together and are kind of outdoorsy."

Takanashi Akiko sighed.

"I thought all boys liked models... Oh... It seems my understanding of boys is too stereotyped..."

Hei Yuming took over the conversation and said.

"I think everyone will like him. He's very handsome after all."

"Really? He's really handsome!"

Takanashi Akiko smiled again. She liked Kuroba Akira very much and felt like she had finally found a friend who shared the same interests with her regardless of age difference.

"But when I talk about models with the neighboring wives, they always look puzzled and say that this is something their sons loved when they were young..."

Hei Yuming was a little speechless. Are you really talking about this with other housewives?

Auntie Akiko, you are a natural type like Menghui, right?

Of course, this will be looked down upon by other housewives, after all, one has to be selective when it comes to topics of conversation.

For example, if you talk about 2D topics with a group of fresh students in class, you will definitely be ridiculed by the group.

I like the real-life hot girls in the two-dimensional world. This kind of extreme contrast only exists in light novels and comics.

This kind of contrast rarely happens in reality. Most people are what they appear to be in private. After all, living with a mask on is a very tiring thing, and not everyone can do it.

For example, the class monitor and Murasaki Nomiya don't know much about anime, and Shirai Shiori never read anything other than traditional literary novels. Only the introverted Aizono Moeie likes comics and light novels, and that's because she has a talent and interest in drawing.

Everyone has their own strengths and areas of interest.

Everyone stays in their comfort zone and in a circle that can accommodate themselves. The older they get, the harder it is to "cross the circle."

Thus the 'generation gap' was formed.

However, Akiko Takanashi has no such generation gap at all.

"But, liking something has nothing to do with age, right?"

She is still young at heart.

Chapter 193: Birdie Future Refuses to Be Attracted

"I think you're right. What you like really has nothing to do with age."

In this regard, Akiko Takanashi can be regarded as a model mother among enlightened parents.

The things she likes are all things that young people like. If Kotori is raised in such an environment and also likes these things, the relationship between mother and daughter should be quite harmonious.

Generally speaking, the relationship between parents and children who have common topics or hobbies will not be too bad. If they can play games together, then the mother-daughter relationship will be like friends.

If she doesn't want to go to school because she wants to be a voice actor, she should first discuss it with her mother who is a professional voice actor.

If it is because of poor relationships with classmates at school, you should discuss transferring schools with your mother instead of just staying at home and doing nothing.

However, the current situation is that no one can persuade her, and it is useless even if Aunt Qiuzi comes.

It seems there are other reasons?

"So, doesn't Kotori-san like building models?"

"That's not the case. The kid also likes to build models, but the ones displayed in the living room are all built by me."

Tatari Yu Akiko hugged her chest, held one cheek, and said with some trouble.

"The main problem is that when the child built the model, the seams weren't cut very cleanly, and the decals were also applied crookedly... If it was placed in the living room, I'd feel a little, well, a little uncomfortable... So the models she built are all placed in her own room."

"So that's it."

Because the living room is the face of the house, the models displayed here are all the most completed models, and things that cannot be displayed on the table are left in the room.

At this point, Takanashi Akiko also explained that this was not her requirement for her child.

"Ah, but I never criticized her for that, okay? It was the child who took the initiative to ask to display the model she built in her room. Maybe she felt more accomplished when she made it herself."

"I think that in places like this, Aunt Qiuzi could still remind her..."

It's too uncomfortable if the water outlet is not cut cleanly. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder will die after seeing this. In any case, Hei Yuming absolutely cannot accept it.

"Mirai-chan really hasn't paid much attention to details since the beginning. I still remember one time when she was little, when she was playing outside with us, her hands got rusty from the climbing frame, and she rubbed it directly on her clothes... But when we met that day, she even showed off to us that the clothes were new."

"Ah! I remember that incident too! I washed that dress several times, even though it shrunk. It ended up being unwearable after just one wear. The child loved it so much that she started crying when she realized she couldn't wear it anymore. So I had no choice but to buy her another one... She's a bit careless with things she likes; that's just how she is..."

The squad leader and Aunt Qiuzi also provided important testimony.

From here we can also see that in the future, Kotori will probably be a more impulsive, carefree, and unconcerned type, and she was probably a tomboy when she was a child.

No wonder he would fight with classmates outside of school. He is an impulsive person.

"That child treats models the same way, but I'm already very happy that she likes building models. So every time before I buy a new building model, I will ask the child if she wants one. If she likes it, I will buy two, and then we can build it together, hehe."

"You dote on her too much..."

"After all, that child is my only daughter. As long as she wants something, I will try my best to satisfy her."

Aunt Qiuzi, haven’t you heard that saying?

Spoiling someone is harmful!

This has definitely caused her to develop princess syndrome.

Mirai Kotori is so willful, no wonder she suddenly stopped going to school.

Obviously, he has never received any education in love.

The information about Kotori's future has been almost mastered. Kuroba Ming, who is jealous of Kotori's resources, has also become motivated and asked Kotori Akiko.

"Auntie Akiko, where is Kotori-san's room?"

"That's the room."

Akiko Takanashi pointed to the door of the room next to the comic cabinet. Because there was no nameplate on the door, Akira Kuroba couldn't tell that it was Takanashi's future room.

This is quite rare, because generally speaking, children's rooms are on the second floor, because the ventilation and lighting on the second floor are better, and for reasons of privacy and safety, children's rooms are also set up on the second floor.

"Next, I might make some loud noises. Do you mind?"

Takanashi Akiko nodded in affirmation.

"Well! Kuroba-kun, you don't have to worry about my feelings. As long as it can help that child, you can do whatever you want!"

Then he blamed himself with a wry smile.

"I don't even know why she doesn't want to go to school. Although I have asked the child, she is unwilling to tell me anything in the future..."

Kuroba Akira confidently tapped his chest with his thumb and said.

"No problem, please feel free to leave her to me."

"Um……"

Akiko Takanashi stared blankly at the young man who was the same age as her daughter and twenty-four years younger than her.

She felt a sense of strength from his confident words... reliable, the word came to her mind.

A warm feeling welled up in my heart.

This was something she had never felt before, a sense of security that only comes when you rely on someone.

And Hei Yuming's first action was... to walk over and knock on the door violently!

As if playing Taiko no Tatsujin, he kept banging on the door with his palms while shouting at the same time.

"Kato-san! Come out and play!"

Nothing happens.

Hei Yuming continued to knock on the door roughly.

"Kano-san! Come out and see who's here! It's your best friend!"

One minute later...

Still no response.

Hei Yuming continued to knock on the door and shout.

"Kawaii Mirai! If you don't come out, I'm going to tear this door down!"

Three minutes later...

Still no response.

There wasn't even a response like 'Yakamasi!'

Then Kuroba Ming was certain that Kotori Mirai was definitely awake, but it seemed that she had decided to pretend to be dead.

After all, Hei Yuming bothered her so much, but she still didn't respond at all, which meant that she had already prepared herself mentally to be disturbed.

No matter who comes, it's useless! I will never go back to school!

She was using ignorance and silence to convey this message to the outside world.

If the door isn't even opened, there's no way to have a conversation.

Even if we really break the door violently now, it will be meaningless because she will still refuse to communicate.
