"Why don't you eat your lunch first? You might not be able to eat after listening to this."
"I'm not in the mood to eat anymore, okay?" Eriri narrowed her eyes, her little fangs gleaming coldly. "I hate riddle people the most. Tell me what happened already."
"Then I'll tell you."
Makoto Kiyono's expression subtly turned serious:
"Eriri, do you still remember my superpower of daily information?"
"..."
A sense of foreboding crept into Eriri's heart, and she nervously held her breath:
"You saw information related to Mom?"
“That’s right.” Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly and whispered the truth, “When I woke up this morning, I saw a report that said ‘Sawamura Sayuri will be in danger tonight.’”
Eriri's pretty face turned pale, and the bento box in her hand slipped from her grasp.
Sawamura Sayuri... It really is her mother's name!
boom.
Makoto Kiyono caught the slipping bento box, then pressed Eriri's shoulder, helping her sit on the bench:
"Don't panic. Auntie was in danger at night, so we have a chance to change the future."
Eriri looked up at him, gripping Kiyono Makoto's right hand tightly, her eyes already welling up with tears:
What dangers might Mom encounter?
Kiyono Makoto gently shook his head:
"I don't know. The intelligence was vague and lacked specific details. It only said that there would be danger."
That's why he didn't tell Zhai Li the truth via phone.
If you suddenly hear that your mother might have met with some misfortune, even a science-minded girl like Futaba wouldn't be able to stay calm, right?
If he sends a message to tell him the truth, Eriri will most likely get up immediately upon seeing it and run to him to ask what happened, which is quite troublesome.
Has your aunt shown any unusual behavior recently?
Kiyono Makoto asked softly.
“No…” Eriri bit her lower lip lightly, about to shake her head, when she suddenly frowned. “Mom has indeed been acting a little strange these past few days.”
“My mom used to stay up very late every day. Last month, she stayed up late with me to draw a book and was still full of energy the next day. Now she has to go to bed at nine o'clock every night, and her dark circles are getting darker and darker. She looks super tired.”
"I'm a little worried. I even accompanied my mother to the hospital for a check-up yesterday..."
Eriri frowned as she spoke:
"But my mother's health is normal, there are no problems. The doctor said that the insomnia and dreaming may be caused by endocrine disorders."
“That’s not normal,” Kiyono Makoto said calmly. “People who often stay up late have their biological clocks changed without them realizing it. If you tell them to go to bed early, they’ll have trouble sleeping.”
Eriri suddenly looked up, a possibility coming to mind:
"Perhaps the instruments can't detect it... Could it be related to the player?"
"A player is secretly eyeing Mom, wanting to turn her into... a puppet?"
Sawamura Sayuri is very beautiful and comes from a wealthy family, making her a top-tier "rich, beautiful, and successful" woman. Coupled with her "wife" attributes, she certainly fits the aesthetic tastes of some Cao Cao players.
Kiyono Makoto was silent for two seconds: "...That possibility cannot be ruled out."
"hateful!"
Eriri clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth:
"He dared to lay a hand on Mom, he will never be forgiven!"
"Don't get agitated yet, there might be other possibilities." Kiyono Makoto said calmly, soothing Takumi's emotions. "Tell Auntie not to go out tonight, to stay at home, and you can take care of her closely to avoid any dangers from going out."
"If it really was a player who attacked the aunt, then we should find out who's behind it."
"call……"
Eriri took a deep breath, gently bit her lower lip, and gripped Kiyono Makoto's right hand tightly:
"Kiyono, come home with me after school."
"it is good."
Kiyono Makoto nodded in agreement.
Since this concerns Zhai Li's mother, she certainly wouldn't stand idly by.
"Don't think too much for now, eat your bento first." Kiyono Makoto handed over the bento box. "Filling your stomach is the most important thing. You'll lose your mind when you're hungry."
"How could I possibly have the appetite to eat anything..."
Eriri complained, but obediently took the lunchbox with both hands.
Once opened, the bento box inside was exceptionally rich, with broccoli, cherry tomatoes, rice, shrimp, mini sausages, golden fried pork cutlet, tuna sashimi... The combination of various colors made it look like a work of art.
The rooftop was unusually quiet at noon. Apart from Makoto Kiyono and Eriri, no one else came up today.
Kiyono Makoto had already finished his fried noodles and bread, but Eriri was distracted and only ate a small portion of her bento, leaving most of it untouched.
"Eat quickly, it's getting late," Kiyono Makoto reminded him.
"I have no appetite, I can't eat anymore." Eriri subconsciously handed over the bento box. "You eat it."
Kiyono Makoto took the bento box: "I really didn't eat enough."
Before, one fried noodle bread was enough for me, but now my appetite has increased significantly. One bread isn't enough, and since I have PE class in the afternoon, I naturally need to eat more.
As for unsanitary conditions... during the evacuation from Silent Hill, being able to eat in peace was already a blessing; there was no right to be picky.
"Huh?"
Seeing Kiyono Makoto eat his bento with a natural expression, Eriri quickly widened her beautiful eyes.
"what happened?"
Kiyono Makoto ate while glancing over.
Eriri's face flushed red, and she turned her head to look elsewhere:
"……fine."
She usually eats lunch with her friends, and they often taste each other's lunches, which is why she blurted out the above words, but she has never let any boy eat her lunch.
"...Isn't this the same as an indirect kiss?"
Eriri put her legs together and couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Okay, we've already kissed twice, so indirect kissing isn't a big deal... just kidding!
That kiss was out of necessity; it's super safe now, okay?
But since she'd already eaten it, she couldn't just take it back. Eriri could only cross her arms, turn her pretty face away, her ears burning, and quietly change the subject:
"You idiot, Kiyono, after we come home, you hide in your room and don't let Mom find you."
Kiyono Makoto nodded: "Understood, lie in wait in the shadows, and wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump."
"I'll give you the ring later." Eriri crossed her arms. "I'll stay by Mom's side. If I see any enemies, I'll call you immediately. If it's just a normal everyday danger, you don't need to show up for now."
"Received... I've finished eating."
Kiyono Makoto breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the bento box.
"what?"
Eriri's eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively retorted:
Are you a pig?
There was so much left in the bento box, I couldn't even finish it in ten minutes, but you finished it in one minute?
Seino Makoto said slowly and deliberately:
"Eri, don't scold yourself."
"Huh?"
"If I were a pig, wouldn't you be the girl who has kissed a pig?"
Eriri's pretty face quickly turned red:
"That was out of necessity!"
"It's also true that we had no choice."
Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!
Eriri decisively stood up and lashed out with her twin tails:
"...Die, you idiot Kiyono!"
Chapter 87 Futaba: This isn't a proper substitution technique!
Before we knew it, it was time to get out of school.
"Wait a moment, I need to go to the Science Club to see Futaba."
Makoto Kiyono took out his phone and sent a message to Eriri.
The message was quickly marked as read.
Eriri turned to look at her: "Okay, I'll wait for you in the classroom."
"gone."
Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly, put his hands in his pockets, and left the classroom.
"..."
Ten minutes later.
Science Society.
"Please come in."
