I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

result……

The outcome of the blind date seems to have no effect on that person at all.

"So that guy called me back just to mess with me?"

Takagi looked sullen.

Seeing his reaction, Aki Tomoya wanted to say something, but then stopped himself.

Majima's expression was similar to Aki Tomoya's.

"The conflict between you and your father is too great!"

Aki Tomoya recalled the teasing Takagi's mother gave her husband when they returned home yesterday evening, and thought to herself, "That director probably just wanted to see how his son, who had been away for half a year, was doing."

However, Takagi clearly wouldn't think that way. The conflict between him and his father was far from over, and expecting them to understand each other was not so easy.

"Perhaps your father just wants to see you?"

Majima said something.

Takagi was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Are you trying to make me laugh to death?"

it is as expected……

The two were not surprised at all by Takagi's reaction.

With plenty of time before Takagi's blind date in the afternoon, the group rested at home, joking about it.

Although Takagi still felt a lot of resistance to blind dates, she wasn't as excited as she had been at the beginning.

Even if she wanted to rebel against her father's arranged marriage and sabotage it, she didn't understand the point of doing it if it didn't achieve the desired effect.

"I guess I should just refuse properly."

Takagi seemed to have lost his dreams.

As for the blind date in the afternoon, Takagi felt that whatever would happen, would happen; it didn't really matter to her anymore.

As for whether they would actually hit it off, he hadn't thought about it; the possibility was practically zero.

"Takagi-kun, you look like a salted fish right now..."

Majima looked at Takagi's current appearance and laughed.

At the same time, a petite figure passed by the door, glanced inside, and then let out a disdainful sound.

"Damn you little devil!"

Upon recognizing that familiar figure, a swastika appeared on Takagi's forehead, and he couldn't help but clench his fist.

He had barely finished reacting when the pitiful creature at the door raised a provocative gesture at him.

Seeing his sister's provocation, Takagi almost couldn't resist rushing out to give her a good beating.

At home, what he found most unbearable was his younger sister, Takagi Karen.

"You, Aki Tomoya, come out here for a moment!"

"I?"

Aki Tomoya stared blankly at the pitiful figure pointing at him, not understanding why the other person suddenly wanted to call him out.

He glanced at the two people beside him; they were also looking at him with the same curious and puzzled expressions.

Takagi, in particular, couldn't understand how Aki Tomoya had managed to pique his sister's interest.

"Get out!"

Takagi's younger sister urged him on.

There was no other way; under the watchful eyes of three pairs of people, he was already feeling extremely uncomfortable. At this point, he had no choice but to go out and see what was going on.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

As soon as he stepped outside, Takagi Karen looked at him with a questioning gaze.

Aki Tomoya frowned, then remembered what he had agreed on with the other party.

If it's about what happened yesterday, Aki Tomoya still remembers it well.

He was only let go after he explained himself to Takagi Karen once again.

After they got back, the two men asked what had happened.

Aki Tomoya gave a brief explanation, and the two of them immediately lost interest.

After waiting at Takagi's house until noon, Takagi was urged to go to the hotel to wait for someone.

Aki Tomoya and Mashima originally didn't plan to come along, but Takagi insisted on taking them.

"I'm going to fight. As my comrades, it wouldn't be right for you not to come with me!"

Chapter 251 Eriri: Fate (4/6)

Aki Tomoya confirmed that Takagi definitely has a phobia of blind dates.

That anxious and fearful expression is exactly the symptom of blind date phobia.

He dragged me to the blind date location. It wasn't that he wanted the two of us to help him ruin the blind date or anything; he was simply afraid of going there alone.

After realizing each other's current mood, the two were overjoyed.

In the end, when Takagi went home, everything was different from what he had imagined. His resistance, even if he tried, had no effect.

Even when he came back, he was still furious with his sister.

In the afternoon, the woman's side arrived with their entourage, and Takagi's expression became incredibly interesting at that moment.

Aki Tomoya and Mashima couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't laugh, I didn't want to either, I hate blind dates the most!"

Takagi, who hates blind dates the most, is about to have his first one.

Takagi, who had been dressed up by his mother to look incredibly handsome, now looked anything but handsome.

Meanwhile, since the blind date had already begun, Aki Tomoya and Mashima felt that continuing to stay wasn't a matter of whether or not to watch the jokes, but rather whether or not to ruin the atmosphere.

If it's not a good match, when my friends go on blind dates, their parents will leave at an appropriate time to give them some time alone.

As Takagi's good friends, Aki Tomoya and Majima consciously chose to leave at the most appropriate time.

Ignoring Takagi's desperate gaze, the two "cruelly" left.

"Aki-kun, where to next?"

"...Whatever, there are plenty of fun places to visit in Kyoto anyway."

There are many places to visit in Kyoto, so the two of them have plenty of options. They can just keep track of the time and come back later.

……

Under the bright sunshine, Kyoto has a stronger historical atmosphere than Tokyo.

Historically, this city was designed and laid out in imitation of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, you can see many buildings with Tang Dynasty style in Kyoto.

"Mom, did you have fun?"

On the bustling streets of Kyoto, Eriri followed behind her mother, puffing out her cheeks as she asked a question.

She had been in Kyoto for a day, and had been playing around with her mother, Sayuri Sawamura.

Kyoto is a nice place, but Eriri's mind isn't on sightseeing.

"I'm fine. Eriri, don't you like Kyoto?"

Sawamura Sayuri turned around, her eyes filled with a hint of teasing.

She was having a great time, but Eriri had some reservations and was currently grumbling to herself.

They had planned to create a chance encounter in Kyoto, but so far, Eriri still doesn't know where her childhood friend Aki Tomoya is, and hasn't even seen a glimpse of him.

In the vast city of Kyoto, how can I possibly find that boy amidst the sea of ​​people?

Eriri sighed again as she thought about this.

When she first arrived in Kyoto yesterday, her mother, Sayuri Sawamura, kept her thoughts on what she had said.

Seeing Eriri's face gradually puffing up and her hesitant expression, Sayuri Sawamura shook her head and smiled.

As the other party's mother, how could Sayuri Sawamura not see through her daughter's feelings?

Eriri knew exactly what was on Eriri's mind.

"My silly daughter, what are you in such a hurry for? Don't you understand the saying 'haste makes waste'?"

Sawamura Sayuri spread her hands, looking at Eriri with a hint of disappointment.

Despite being taught for so long, Eriri's growth rate has not met Sawamura Sayuri's expectations.

Ultimately, it's because I haven't experienced enough, and I haven't had enough time to properly guide her step by step. If I don't keep an eye on her, I really can't rest easy.

Sawamura Sayuri did everything she could to bring Eriri to Kyoto and then assist her from the sidelines.
