A super great writer in the second dimension

　What is Maki Nishikino thinking?

　Of course I know.

　She has someone she likes.

　But that person is himself.

　Can I say that?

　Sanzenin Arashi shook her head and said in a low voice, "I don't know."

　Shizuku Nishikino sighed, stood up, and walked to Arashi Sanzenin's side.

　"Could I use the restroom?"

　Sanzenin Arashi pointed to the left side of the room, "Over there."

　Shizuku Nishikino went into the bathroom, and Arashi Sanzenin leaned back on the sofa.

　Maki is a very shy person who doesn't express her feelings directly. She prefers others to guess what she means. Sanzenin Arashi felt a bit annoyed. If he had known these things earlier, he wouldn't have dragged Maki into the conversation and cut the connection with her. Well, she herself is a connection.

　Behind the main storyline is a major boss: Shizuku Nishikino.

　How should I tell Shizuku Nishikino now...?

　But at that moment, his phone suddenly rang.

　It was a text message.

　Sanzenin Arashi glanced at the contents, her expression changed, and her eyes narrowed instantly.

　Nishikino Maki: [I like you, teacher. Can you take me with you?]

　Sanzenin Arashi opened the reply section and was about to type a message.

　Shizuku Nishikino came out of the toilet.

　Sanzenin Arashi put her phone away again.

　Just then, as he was about to speak, a bell rang.

　"Aren't you going to answer?" Shizuku Nishikino looked over. "Don't worry about me."

　Sanzenin Arashi took out her phone and looked at the caller ID.

　【Nishikino Maki】

　'grass……'

　"I……"

　Before he could finish his sentence, he continued—

　ding dong...

　The doorbell rang.

　"I'll go open the door," Shizuku Nishikino said with a smile. "Mr. Aoyama, you take the phone."

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded. At this moment, it should be either Mashiro or Eriri.

　Taking advantage of the time gained by the doorbell, Sanzenin Arashi turned down her phone volume and was about to press the call button.

　A loud noise came from the doorway.

　"Mom? Why are you here?"

　"I saw that Mr. Aoyama was taking such good care of you, so I came to be a guest. What's wrong, Maki?" Mrs. Nishikino asked in a very friendly voice.

　With a 'whoosh'.

　Cold sweat trickled down Sanzenin Arashi's forehead.

　Lying down, lying down, lying down...

429. Mrs. Nishikino learned the truth...

　Sanzenin Arashi felt nervous.

　He walked out of the door as if nothing had happened, then sat on the sofa and poured himself a new drink.

　Upon seeing Sanzenin Arashi, a barely perceptible blush appeared on Nishikino Maki's fair face.

　She glanced at her mother and swallowed the words that were about to come out.

　Shizuku Nishikino sat down calmly next to Arashi Sanzenin and said in a low voice, "I'm counting on you, Mr. Aoyama, to do some persuasion with Maki."

　Sanzenin Arashi was completely bewildered.

　Do some ideological work with Maki Nishikino?

　Madam, why don't you try to talk some sense into me?

　Sanzenin Arashi slowly said to Maki, "I heard you want to immigrate to Malaysia?"

　Maki blushed and whispered, "Yes..."

　"Do you have to go?"

　"Yes."

　"Maki..." Shizuku Nishikino couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

　Sanzenin Arashi's heart pounded. "Well, let's hear what Maki has to say herself, shall we?"

　"Teacher, you know exactly what I'm saying, don't you?" Maki Nishikino suddenly asked. "Does Teacher Aoyama dislike me?"

　Sanzenin Arashi's heart was like a field of weeds.

　"Maki, what did you say?" Shizuku Nishikino asked, "What does this have to do with Mr. Aoyama?"

　Sanzenin Arashi's heart was pounding.

　Nishikino Maki said directly, "Mom, can you go first?"

　“Uh…?” Sanzenin Arashi looked up at Nishikino Maki.

　At this moment, the girl was like an angel shrouded in light in his heart, shining with holy radiance, saving the world from dire straits.

　"What?" Shizuku Nishikino was completely bewildered. "What are you talking about? Why should I leave? Could it be..."

　She looked at Sanzenin Arashi, "Does this have anything to do with Mr. Aoyama?"

　"This..." Sanzenin Arashi was both surprised and apprehensive, but he wasn't afraid to face him head-on.

　This wave of backing down is a strategic victory; if you back down to the end, you win.

　Mrs. Nishikino, being the older woman, took Sanzenin Arashi's arm and said, "Come with me for a moment."

　Sanzenin Arashi looked at Nishikino Maki and noticed that she was fiddling with the ends of her hair, her eyes darting away, avoiding his gaze.

　He didn't want to go.

　However, the situation is special at this time.

　Sanzenin Arashi and Nishikino Shizuku went to the next room.

　"What exactly happened?" Shizuku Nishikino wasn't stupid; she had a PhD in psychology and was very intelligent.

　Doctors in Japan generally have high levels of education, especially in psychology, which is a basic requirement.

　At this moment, she could also see that Sanzenin Arashi was somewhat guilty.

　Mrs. Nishikino's heart skipped a beat.

　"Really, is it related to you?" Even the word 'sir' was omitted.

　Sanzenin Arashi pinched her chin.

　If he were someone like Xi Chuan, he would have simply waved his hand and summoned both mother and daughter. If they didn't come, he would have made them disappear from society, forcing them to come.

　But ultimately, Sanzenin Arashi wasn't that kind of person. He raised his head and said, "Actually, Malaysia is where I plan to immigrate in the future..."

　Shizuku Nishikino felt a sudden tightness in her chest, vaguely sensing something.

　"Go on..."

　“Actually…” Sanzenin Arashi explained the basic background to Nishikino Shizuku.

　It's about basic planning for the rest of my life.

　Who should we immigrate with to live there?

　After listening to the story, Shizuku Nishikino felt as if the other person was telling a fairy tale.

　She couldn't help but say, "This kind of thing... I..."

　It's clear this boy is serious about these things, but isn't he going astray? Shizuku Nishikino became sentimental; a serious and troubled person like that is actually kind of cute.

　Then Sanzenin Arashi said, "And then I talked to Maki about this yesterday..."

　Shizuku Nishikino couldn't help but ask, "Why did you tell her?"

　“Because…” Sanzenin Arashi said with a forced smile, “When I was doing that with Kotori, she saw me.”

　"That? What is that?" Nishikino Maki looked at Sanzenin Arashi, her expression suddenly changing.

　"You, you, you actually did this with Kotori?!" Shizuku Nishikino stared at Arashi Sanzenin in disbelief. "How could you do such a thing?!"

　Sanzenin Arashi was cursing inwardly, but slowly said, "There's nothing we can do about it. It's my fault, but I will take full responsibility."

　"How are you going to take responsibility?" Shizuku Nishikino gasped. "Does Rinne know about this?"

　Sanzenin Arashi shrugged. "I don't know."

　“This…” Shizuku Nishikino’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How, how could this be…”

　"Mrs. Nishikino will keep this a secret, right?" Sanzenin Arashi asked.

　Shizuku Nishikino clenched her fists. Things had developed beyond her expectations. She had only come to talk about her daughter, but shocking things kept happening one after another.

　The silent woman was suddenly startled.

　"Then why is Maki going too?" Shizuku Nishikino hurriedly asked, "Well, well..."

　“I don’t know what happened either.” Sanzenin Arashi almost shrugged. “I wanted Maki to keep it a secret, so I told her, and now this is what happened.”

　Shizuku Nishikino covered her head, looking flustered, and was about to speak.

　But at that moment, the room door was pushed open.

　“Mom…” Nishikino Maki came out from inside.

　Shizuku Nishikino looked at her daughter, "Maki..."

　She had a lot to say but couldn't express it.

　Should I tell my daughter?

　This person has already had an illicit relationship with me, so you can't do this.

　Shizuku Nishikino couldn't bring herself to say such a thing.

　As if suppressing extreme reluctance, Nishikino Maki said, "As a girl, I like you, teacher, so if you leave in the future, I will go with you."

　"What about the hospital? Isn't it going to be inherited?" Shizuku Nishikino asked.

　Her hands were trembling.

　Sanzenin Arashi frowned and suddenly said, "Maki, please go out for a moment."
