"Eriri, can you tell Mom, who is that boy?"
Eriri had long realized her own feelings. No matter what happened, she wanted to be with Shinnosuke forever! Even Suotome Ai couldn't stop her!
Eriri, who only considered Suotome Ai as her sole powerful enemy, didn't know that a new powerful heroine, Ohara Nanako, was joining the battlefield!
"It's Shinnosuke..."
'Nohara Shinnosuke? It seems Eriri has really grown up. At least she knows how to choose a strong and healthy man.'
This was also a truth Sayuri had only realized after having children.
'However, to be able to make the always tsundere Eriri become honest, this child named Nohara Shinnosuke is truly not simple.'
Turns out childhood friends really can't defeat newcomers. When meeting someone they truly like, any tsundere girl will become honest?
What Sayuri didn't know was that the reason for Eriri's change was different from what she thought. If she knew the truth, what would her expression be?
"Does he know Eriri's feelings?"
Did Shinnosuke know her feelings? Eriri nodded. Shinnosuke certainly knew. The bond between them had stood the test of time.
Seeing her nod, Sayuri's expression was a little strange.
Although she usually always joked with Eriri, but when she truly knew her daughter might fall in love, her feelings were very complicated.
"I didn't expect Eriri to experience a day like this, it's truly touching."
"Don't put on a face as if I'm definitely not going to get married!"
"Alright alright, lunch has been prepared by the chef, afternoon tea is also ready. Will that child be staying in Eriri's room tonight? Should I go out for a while?"
"Of course not! He's going home tonight!"
Eriri's face flushed as she pushed Sayuri out of the room.
"I still have to do my makeup! Mom, go out first!"
Damn it, her mother had already said that, how could she let Shinnosuke stay over? And Eriri understood Shinnosuke's character very well, rushing things definitely wouldn't work, she had to approach him little by little!
Sayuri, who was pushed out of the room, remembered Eriri's painting. It seemed this time Eriri had truly fallen in love, meeting someone she really liked.
Eriri did her makeup. For her, makeup was only to beautify herself. After coming out of the room, Eriri's aura changed greatly.
After all, she was the young lady of the Sawamura family. The etiquette that Eriri should have, she still understood. Today she would also meet Shinnosuke's friends. She naturally had to show her generous and polite side, so as to leave a good impression on Shinnosuke's friends.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"It's up ahead!"
Shinnosuke and the others had arrived in front of the Sawamura family residence. Seeing the European-style villa in front of them, they were all a little surprised.
"It seems she's also an extraordinary young lady."
Nene glanced at Shinnosuke. She also didn't know what the charm of this boy was, to the point that so many young ladies were fascinated. Why couldn't she understand?
"Such a luxurious house! It really looks like a European noble castle in the movies."
Masao looked at the villa in front of him and couldn't help but admire it. He was also a little nervous. Visiting a family like this, wouldn't he accidentally make a mistake?
Shinnosuke stepped forward and pressed the doorbell. As soon as the bell rang, Eriri impatiently pushed the door open and came out.
"Shinnosuke! You guys came!"
Seeing Eriri dressed up like a princess, they were all mesmerized, only Shinnosuke and Bo were calmer.
"Riri, we've arrived!"
"Please come in!"
Following behind Eriri, they all entered the living room. Soon a maid brought drinks and snacks.
Sayuri sat on the sofa and gently greeted everyone.
"Hello everyone, I should have invited you to visit the house earlier. Thank you for your help with Eriri's matter last time."
"Auntie, we're all friends, that's what we should do. This is a gift we prepared, please accept it!"
Kazama took out the box of cakes and placed it on the table, secretly glancing at Shinnosuke.
Without Kazama's reminder, Shinnosuke also took out the fruit box he had prepared.
"Auntie, these are the fruits I prepared, please accept them."
Shinnosuke rarely acted strangely today. At least he had to leave a good impression in front of Riri's mother.
After all, he had secretly made someone else's daughter his pet for more than ten years, he still felt a little guilty.
"Fufu, why bother bringing gifts when visiting the house."
Sayuri accepted both gifts and was very happy, especially that Shinnosuke had prepared a gift separately, which made her very satisfied.
Looking at Shinnosuke's gaze, she also liked him more.
Sayuri really liked otaku culture, and Eriri's education had always adhered to the principle that as long as her daughter was happy. So there wouldn't be any cliché scenes or tests for Shinnosuke.
After all, besides his slightly ordinary family, Shinnosuke didn't have any other major flaws. And with Eriri's character, being able to find someone who made her honest, Sayuri was already very grateful.
"Alright, I won't disturb you young people anymore. If there's anything, just have the maid tell me."
After saying that, Sayuri took the two gift boxes and left the living room. Before leaving, she also gave Eriri an encouraging look, hoping her daughter would be brave.
Sayuri's departure made everyone feel relieved.
"Thank you all for your help last time. If it weren't for you, I might have transferred schools."
After her mother left, Eriri once again thanked all the members of the Kasukabe Defense Force.
"It's nothing..."
Masao scratched his head shyly. He didn't know about Shinnosuke and Eriri, and Kazama hadn't told them that Eriri and Shinnosuke's relationship was very good.
Looking at Eriri, who was like a princess, Masao's heart pounded.
Nene looked at Masao with pity.
'That rice ball head, why is your face so red? Can't you see that young lady keeps looking at Shinnosuke? She almost wants to pounce into Shinnosuke's arms.'
*DING-DONG!*
At that moment, the doorbell rang again.
"It should be my other friend who has arrived. Please wait a moment."
Eriri gracefully stood up and went to open the door.
As soon as she opened the door, sure enough, it was Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Utaha looked a little tired today. Although she had put on makeup, the dark circles under her eyes were still a bit difficult to hide.
"Sorry, I slept a bit late last night."
Utaha was a little embarrassed. Last night she got a lot of inspiration, and unconsciously wrote until late at night before going to sleep.
