I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

But it's impossible to say nothing again, so he went to the door to wait the next day.

"Perfect timing, I have tomorrow off."

If it's tomorrow, then there's no problem.

Eriri's advance inquiry makes things much easier.

If the other party doesn't ask, and even if he doesn't go to UDI tomorrow, but decides what to do, the other party probably won't be able to find him again.

"See? Just asking casually beforehand if you're available should be enough to avoid being turned down."

Sayuri Sawamura, as if she saw through everything, said to Eriri in front of her.

She was still looking at their chat history.

Seeing that Aki Tomoya had already accepted his daughter's invitation, he became even more certain.

"Even Tomoya doesn't find you troublesome, so why do you think of yourself as a burden?"

At this moment, Sayuri Sawamura said something very hurtful to her daughter Eriri.

However, it remains to be seen what Aki Tomoya's true feelings are towards Eriri. From some subtle details, Sawamura Sayuri can tell that he has no intention of avoiding Eriri.

Eriri, on the other hand, always hesitates, unsure of what to do.

This left Sayuri Sawamura somewhat helpless.

This is nothing like her back then.

Back when she was a newcomer to the UK, she didn't have so many troubles.

But with Eriri, even after all that teaching, she still can't seem to change.

"You two grew up together, what's there to be shy about?"

Sawamura Sayuri said to Eriri, who looked embarrassed, with a hint of annoyance.

At the same time, she wondered if the reason she won back then wasn't because she was too strong, but because her childhood sweethearts were all too weak.

Including her daughter?

But thinking back carefully, the childhood friend I had back then was completely different from Eriri...

So ultimately, it all comes down to human factors!

"If possible, I really want to arrange special training for you!"

The look that Sawamura Sayuri has been giving most lately is probably the look of disappointment and frustration in her eyes right now.

She should teach Eriri a little more.

Hesitation and indecisiveness are not a good sign.

Then, overthinking things isn't a good thing either.

Of course, thinking too little is also not good.

In short, the direction was wrong.

Seeing her daughter almost go the wrong way, she was terrified.

"Watch your step, you little brat!"

Eriri pouted in dissatisfaction at her mother Sayuri's words.

It was that "tell her to be more careful" thing again.

Eriri has heard this countless times.

But every time Eriri hears such words from Sayuri Sawamura, she lacks the confidence to refute them.

Because in her mother Sawamura Sayuri's eyes, she was indeed too weak.

Or rather, in the mother's eyes, they were simply not a fighting force.

No, they should still have some fighting ability!

Eriri didn't underestimate herself, feeling that she still had some fighting ability.

"I get the feeling that you're getting a bit cocky lately..."

Is it true that no one knows a daughter better than her mother?

Sawamura Sayuri immediately realized what Eriri was thinking at that moment.

Eriri, feeling somewhat guilty, buried her head in her hands.

I easily got a little carried away again; I need to correct this little habit.

This is what Sayuri Sawamura thought to herself.

She secretly made a decision in her heart.

Meanwhile, Eriri, after agreeing on a time with Aki Tomoya, hurriedly tried to get Sawamura Sayuri out.

Sawamura Sayuri, who was pushed out of the room, finally sighed as she looked at the tightly closed door.

"This child has grown up, but even now, he's still a worry!"

Sayuri Sawamura muttered to herself in front of Eriri's door.

Aki Tomoya had no idea what was going on around Eriri when she was talking to him.

He thought communicating with Eriri was already easy, but he didn't realize it was all a routine.

"Oh no, I'm feeling terrible today!"

Aki Tomoya rubbed his sore eyes.

Aki Tomoya is still very aware of his physical condition.

He doesn't get sick often, but in his current state, if he doesn't get a good night's rest, he'll definitely have problems the next day.

……

The next morning, Eriri got up early and was about to get ready to wash and dress when she saw her mother, Sayuri Sawamura, staring at her through a crack in the door.

"what?"

Why would you spy on your daughter like this at home?

Eriri was speechless; the fresh feeling of waking up vanished instantly under the gaze of her mother, Sayuri Sawamura.

She silently told herself to ignore it, and after ignoring it, she went about preparing to leave.

Just as she was almost finished preparing, Sayuri Sawamura walked in and said to her, "Do you want your mother to stay with your mother?"

Eriri was taken aback by Sayuri Sawamura's suggestion.

Then, somewhat puzzled, she asked, "Why?"

What do you mean? Are you really that worried about her?

You have to have some faith in your own daughter.

Sawamura Sayuri chuckled awkwardly, then gave him two thumbs up: "Then have fun with Tomoya!"

Eriri likes to hear things like that.

Eriri's biggest concern is that her mother, Sayuri Sawamura, always treats her like a child.

However, there were quite a few things that made Sawamura Sayuri worried.

Deep down, Sayuri Sawamura didn't want to treat Eriri like a child.

After all, she's a sophomore now.

This person doesn't look like a child at all.

But sometimes, she is more worrying than a child.

As a mother, Sayuri Sawamura was constantly worried about her.

"I am leaving."

After leaving a message, Eriri quickly walked out of the house.

Sayuri Sawamura didn't follow up, so she decided to let her take her own time; she had already done most of her help.

Even with what can be taught, Eriri can't learn much...

"Sigh, her fighting ability is worrying. Is this really my daughter?"

As Eriri left, Sayuri Sawamura muttered to herself once again.

At that moment, Eriri almost tripped and fell on the road, and then couldn't help but wonder who was talking badly about her now.

"Such bad luck as soon as I step out the door, should I go to the shrine to pray before going to Tomoya's house?"

Eriri stood there for a moment, thinking.

Going to the shrine to pray would take too much time, so I'll pass.

After a quick thought, Eriri decided to go straight to Aki Tomoya's house.
