Tokyo Soft Rice King

"Yes! Thanks to you, my mother and I were able to reconcile so smoothly... You are our family's benefactor!"

"Well, not really..."

"As for! Mom, you think so too, right?"

Akiko Kotori, who had long been filled with gratitude and delusion towards Kuroba Akira, also nodded in agreement.

"That's right, our family does owe Hei Yu-kun a huge favor. What should we do now..."

"Anyway, why don't you stay for lunch tomorrow? It's almost noon."

"Yeah! That's right, then mom, I'll go make lunch right now and make a big meal for you two! Today is a day worth celebrating!"

"Great! Then I want to eat Mapo Tofu! My mom is really good at making Zhonghua cuisine. Why don't you stay and try it tomorrow?"

The mother and daughter sang in unison, holding back the words of goodbye that Hei Yuming wanted to say.

Then when he heard that there were hometown dishes to eat, Hei Yuming thought it would be okay to have lunch before going back, so he agreed and sat down again.

"Hmm...okay then."

At this time, Kotori Mirai secretly clenched his fist under the table, with a smile of "plan master" on his face.

Oh, how could I let you just leave like this?

After taking care of mom, it’s your turn now!

Long before Mirai Kotori came out to face her mother, she had already thought about what would happen next.

She knew that her mother felt guilty and remorseful towards her, so as long as she gently accepted and acknowledged her, the previous conflicts could be easily resolved and the relationship could be restored to normal.

Then my mother changed from an 'enemy' to a 'teammate'.

The next thing to do is to turn Kuroba Ming, the 'temporary teammate', into a 'formal teammate'.

Last night, she was a little reluctant to let Hei Yuming leave, but she knew that her interactions with Hei Yuming would become less and less.

Because he was a lobbyist hired by Tong from the very beginning. After the conflict between her and her mother was resolved, he no longer had any reason to come to her house.

I can only occasionally invite him to play games together, but the relationship between the two games is very weak and he may cancel at any time.

Next, he asked some questions about video editing... But after all, Kuroba Akira is not the future producer of Kotori. Even if he suggested that she focus on making videos and she accepted it, he would not really care about her as much as he cared about Shion.

This is indeed the case. Hei Yuming still has to go back to develop a barrage video website. In the future, Xiao Niaoyou will let her develop freely, and then let her develop her own website after the website is developed.

So unless Takanashi goes back to school in the future and takes the initiative to go to school to see him, the chances of the two meeting will be very few... But there is also Tong in the school, and he will definitely not only play with her in school.

Then what should be done?

How can I keep him at home?

Then Mirai Kotori came up with a trick to trick her mother.

If you want him to stay, you have to give him an "identity" that allows him to treat the Kotori family as his own home.

In that case, why not let Ming be my father?

It just so happens that my mother isn’t my biological mother, and she’s never really been married…

So, Mirai Takanashi started the "Mom Holding Boy Campaign" to bring together Akira Kuroba and Akiko Takanashi.

Moreover, she has no psychological burden about it.

After all, Akiko Takanashi adopted her as her adopted daughter for personal reasons.

In that case, there's nothing wrong with me, as a daughter, betraying my mother for my own personal goals, right?

This can be considered as a daughter taking after her mother, so reciprocity is the norm.

At the same time, this is also for the sake of my mother's second half of life...but by the way, I can also get a family playmate who can accompany me for the rest of my life.

So, in fact, Mirai Kotori is not an angel at all, she is a million miles away from being an angel.

She is a black-hearted little devil who is willing to sell her mother to her classmates in order to achieve her own goals.

Chapter 217: How to Turn Friends into Family

In the afternoon, Hei Yuming was holding a controller, surrounded by snacks. Sitting next to him was Mirai, who was still feeding him potato chips. All he could think about was "?"

Originally, he just planned to have lunch and then go home, but somehow, he came to his senses and decided to continue playing games in the afternoon and go back after dinner.

The special lunch made by Aunt Qiuzi was really delicious. Hei Yuming hadn't eaten such authentic Sichuan cuisine for a long time. It was even better than the last time she and the class monitor cooked together. It seemed that she had really put in some effort.

As expected of a perfect mother who has practiced for so many years, her cooking proficiency must be at least level 3.

But some of the dishes were indeed very spicy, comparable to Grandma Kobayashi's super spicy curry. After lunch, Hei Yuming was almost fainted from the spiciness.

Then, Aunt Akiko brought out the hand-brewed mocha coffee and matcha cake at the perfect time, allowing Hei Yuming to enjoy afternoon tea comfortably.

Then Mirai Takanashi started to act like a spoiled brat towards him, bringing out various games to seduce Kuroba Akira, but Kuroba Akira remained unmoved at this time.

Then, Mirai Kotori got upset, pouting and asking if he couldn't go back later. He should at least finish Shadow of War Chronicle III before going back! He also said that if he didn't see him finish the game, he definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

When Hei Yuming heard this, he felt that he was being a bit unfair. He had deliberately not finished the game in order to lure her out of the room, but now that his strategy to conquer her had been successfully completed, there was no need to keep her in suspense.

In addition, Kuroba Akira himself also wanted to complete this classic masterpiece, and thinking that Hijikata Isamu was probably not awake at this time, Kuroba Akira thought it would be okay to complete Demon Sword Chronicle III before going back.

However, Kuroba Akira originally thought that if it wasn't a two-player game, Kotori would lose interest in the future, but he didn't expect that she would be more excited than himself, and asked Kuroba Akira to play again at an earlier save point to make up for all the stupid operations before, so that Kuroba Akira could prove that he was not a moron.

By the way, Akiko Takanashi was not with them this time. After she brought afternoon tea and her daughter took over her position as a companion to Akira Kuroba, she went out alone.

Since she had already come clean with her beloved daughter, she felt she needed to talk to Saotome Fuyumi about this matter.

On the one hand, it was to announce the good news, and on the other hand, it was to find out about her future biological parents. Although Mirai Kotori herself said that it didn't matter if she didn't know, she felt that her daughter still had the right to know.

It is a bit pitiful for a person to live his life without even knowing how he came into being.

"Hey, don't stop! Keep going! If you want some snacks, I'll feed you. Oh, do you want a drink? I'll get you a Coke... Pause now! Continue when I come back!"

"Oh……"

Although he was not thirsty, seeing that Kotori Mirai had stood up and trotted to the refrigerator, Hei Yuming temporarily pressed the pause button.

I glanced at my phone and saw that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the game was about to end.

The past two days have been truly comfortable, reminding Hei Yuming of his summer vacation in his previous life. Back then, he would just play games all day long, carefree and joyful, just like now...

For him, this is what it feels like to be on vacation at home.

During my first summer vacation after coming into this world, I didn’t feel like I had a holiday at all because I went to the school library every day.

"Here."

Mirai Takanashi was sipping Coke with a straw in her mouth, and at the same time, she handed a cup filled with iced Coke to Akira Heiwa, which also had a reusable stainless steel straw inserted in it.

"And straws? Thanks."

As soon as Hei Yuming held the straw in his mouth, Takanashi Mirai said calmly.

“It’s my mother’s straw.”

"Pfft! Cough cough..."

Hei Yuming sprayed it directly, spraying Kotori Yu Mirai's face, wetting her pajamas, and some of it mixed into her cup.

"Wow! It's so dirty! It sprayed all over my face! What are you doing?"

Although she was complaining, she still took out a few tissues and handed them to Hei Yuming, and then wiped herself.

"No, how can you give me what your mother uses?"

"If not my mom's, whose will I take? It's just me and my mom at home. Are you planning to use mine?"

As she spoke, Mirai Takanashi exchanged her straw with the straw in Kuroba Akira's cup.

"Really? What a fuss! Why didn't you just say it earlier? I'll give you mine."

"..."

"what?"

"Didn't you just use it?"

"Yeah... Oh, indirect kiss? Are you still bothered by that?"

Takanashi Mirai sneered and said.

"Heh, I didn't expect you to be so innocent."

"..."

Rather than saying that I care, it’s better to say that you don’t care enough, right?

This doesn't feel like the treatment of a friend, it feels more like the treatment of a boyfriend.

However, Mirai Kotori is indeed a girl who is a bit careless and doesn't seem like the type of person who would care about such a small matter.

Could it be that I have really become innocent?

However, in fact, Mirai Kotori did feel a little ashamed. She just pretended not to care in order to numb Kurokawa Akira's senses.

The so-called sense of distance only appears when you "distinguish between you, me and her". When you give your own things to others without any care, the distance between you and others will gradually blur and you will gradually develop a sense of "belonging".

The reason why Mirai Kotori is so familiar with this is because she recalled the process of her becoming close to her mother, which started when her mother allowed her to use her things at will.

In the Kotori family, nothing belongs "only to the mother" or "only to the daughter", everything belongs "to the family".

Although they would try to distinguish them when they bought them, in fact, the mother and daughter could not tell them apart very clearly. For example, the straw that was just used for Hei Yuming was actually used by her not long ago. She used it herself, and her mother also used it. Even oral items like toothbrushes were the same.

Maybe the only thing that can't be changed is the clothes, mainly because the size is really not suitable. If Xiao Niaoyu uses her mother's super-large bra, I'm afraid her slightly immature breasts will be exposed.

In short, she is now starting from such details and trying to integrate Hei Yuming into her family.

In fact, family members in ordinary families would not be so close, but the Takanashi family was not a normal family from the beginning. In order to establish a good relationship with her adopted daughter, Takanashi Akiko eliminated the sense of distance too much, so that Takanashi's common sense in the future also became wrong.

Although she didn't show it to outsiders, when she wanted to make Hei Yuming a family member, the way she treated Hei Yuming began to become abnormal.

Hei Yuming got serious and stopped doing clumsy operations. He directly crushed the final BOSS and entered the passing screen.

"Huh... it's all over now."

Looking at the last staff member who passed the level, Hei Yuming breathed a sigh of relief.

The strategy for the Little Bird House game started with this game and ended with this game...

The whole thing ended successfully with a perfect ending.

"No, it's not over yet, Ming."

"Huh? Didn't I already clear the game? Could it be that there's a hidden ending?"

"No, I mean, it's not over between me and my mom yet."

"what?"

Takanashi Mirai expressed her concerns with a stern face.

"Although my mother and I have reconciled, and I have told her that she is the only one for me, she probably won't think so."

"You mean, Aunt Qiuzi actually has some concerns in her heart?"

"Yeah, Ming, who did you say she went out to meet?"

"You should go see Director Saotome Fuyumi, after all, she brought you here, so Aunt Akiko needs to report this incident to Director Fuyumi."

"That's right. Aunt Dong Jian knows my background, and Mom will definitely inquire about it again for my sake... Mom cares too much about me, so she will definitely do some unnecessary things, and there is a high possibility that she will get into trouble."

"Yeah... so what do you want?"

"I just want my mom and I to live a peaceful life and not get into trouble because of something as trivial as my background. But my mom is very stubborn. Even though she promised me that she wouldn't investigate my background again, I'm sure she'll still secretly look for my biological parents."

"This is very much like Aunt Qiuzi's style..."

"She's been tortured by those melodramatic soap operas! She thinks the only happy ending for me is for me to recognize and reconcile with my biological parents!"

"Well...but in the future, don't you really want to know who your biological parents are?"

"Why are you like this too? Are you still on my side?!"

"Ha ha……"

Hei Yuming laughed dryly because he was also very curious about whose child Kotori Mirai was.

Is it possible that this is Saotome Fuyumi's own child?

"So, Ming, I need your help."
