After the call was dialed, it took about ten seconds for it to be answered before Eriri's groggy voice came through.
Who is it...?
Eriri passed her midterm exams smoothly and was so happy that she finally finished drawing her summer doujinshi on Thursday night. She then stayed up all night playing games on Friday night, not going to bed until after 3 a.m.
She hadn't been asleep for long when her phone rang. Eriri, who wasn't wearing her glasses, didn't see the caller ID clearly and answered the call directly.
Then, Luo Yu's voice came over.
"Is Eriri still sleeping? Did she stay up all night?"
"Hmm...playing games tonight...hmm?"
In a daze, Eriri realized that the person talking to her seemed to be Luo Yu?
Eriri rubbed her eyes and held the phone closer. She realized that the caller ID on the screen was indeed Luo Yu.
Eriri finally snapped awake, sitting up abruptly. Ignoring the slip of her nightgown strap, she blushed and said, "Why did you call me?"
Luo Yu said with a smile, "Who knew you were still sleeping? I wanted to invite you over to play. Teacher Xia Shizi is here today too."
"Who? Kasumigaoka Utaha came to Chiba?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was sitting next to Luo Yu, heard Eriri's voice and said with a smile, "Good morning, Eriri! Want to come and play? I'm at Luo Yu-kun's new house today, it's very lively!"
Hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's smug voice, Eriri puffed out her cheeks and perked up completely.
"What's there to be so smug about? I'm coming right now!"
Luo Yu knew that after being provoked by Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri would definitely come over no matter what they were doing just now, so he said, "I'll arrange a car to pick you up, no need to rush."
"Okay, I'm going to wash up now. See you later!"
After saying that, Eriri hung up the phone, put on her coat, and ran out of the room to the bathroom.
Sawamura Sayuri, who was watching TV on the first floor, knew that her daughter Eriri had gotten up when she heard the door open upstairs.
This surprised Sayuri Sawamura. She knew her daughter had stayed up late playing games last night, so why was she up so soon?
Getting up and going upstairs, Sayuri Sawamura pushed open the bathroom door and asked Eriri, who was about to take a shower, "Eriri, you haven't slept for long, have you? Aren't you sleepy?"
Eriri, who was testing the water temperature, replied, "Kasumigaoka Utaha is in Chiba, I'm planning to go there!"
"Xia Shizi?"
Eriri is the light novel author that the illustrator collaborates with, so Sayuri Sawamura naturally knows her; she's also a top student who attends Toyonosaki.
If nothing unexpected had happened, Eriri would have been studying at Toyonosaki High School as well, but since she's currently at Soubu High School, it doesn't really matter.
"Do you want Mom to drive you there?"
Eriri took off her pajamas and said, "No need, Luo Yu-jun said he would send someone to pick me up."
"Luo Yu-kun? Isn't that Kasumigaoka Utaha?"
"She went to Luo Yujun's place. Apparently, it's quite lively there, with Shinomiya Kaguya and the others too, so I'm planning to go play there as well. Mom, you can go now, I'm going to take a bath!"
Urged by her daughter, Sayuri Sawamura finally left the bathroom.
Sawamura Sayuri closed the door, lost in thought.
As for Luo Yu, she had met him once before when she went to the supermarket with Eriri. He was dating the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family, and his status was also extraordinary. He was a major shareholder of Shinazugawa Publishing, and Eriri even said that he was one of the shareholders of Totsuki Publishing.
As they went downstairs, Sayuri Sawamura shook her head.
"Such an outstanding boy, I hope Eriri won't fall for him, otherwise it will be very difficult for her."
Forty minutes later, after quickly taking a shower and changing into a cute dress, Eriri asked her mother to help her put on some light makeup, and the car arranged by Luo Yu arrived.
Since Letina hasn't gotten her driver's license yet, the driver arranged for her is from the Yukinoshita family.
Standing at the villa entrance, Sayuri Sawamura smiled at her daughter and said, "Eriri, are you sure Mommy doesn't need to come too?"
Eriri put her hands on her hips and looked at her mother, saying, "Mom, there's a group of people our age here, why are you going to join in? I'm leaving now, I'll call you if I think I'll be back for dinner~~"
After watching Eriri leave in her car, Sayuri Sawamura sighed helplessly.
"Sigh, my daughter has grown up and doesn't love me anymore. Oh well, I'll ask a couple of friends if they want to go shopping."
Then, I took out my phone and found Mrs. Yukinoshita's phone number.
The situation of the Zawa family in Chapter 203 (2/2)
Sitting in the Yukinoshita family's car, Eriri quickly arrived at the manor.
"This, this is Luo Yujun's new home?"
Eriri's eyes widened. She had thought the other party's new home was just a new villa, but who would have thought it would be such a large estate?
No wonder the car kept driving and ended up somewhere far from the city center and the villa areas I knew.
If it weren't for the fact that it was the Yukinoshita family who had come to pick her up, Eriri would have almost thought she was being kidnapped.
After the car stopped, Eriri opened the door and got out. She then saw Kasumigaoka Utaha waiting at the gate of the mansion, as well as a white-haired maid who was 1.8 meters tall and dressed in a maid outfit.
Goodness, they don't even have maids at home, but Luo Yu has one, and she's so tall and beautiful.
As Eriri approached, even though she was wearing light makeup, the sharp-eyed Kasumigaoka Utaha still noticed the faint dark circles under her eyes.
With a smile in her eyes, Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and said, "It's okay if you don't come if you're not fully awake~~"
Eriri glared at Kasumigaoka Utaha and said angrily, "Hmph, you can come but I can't? I'm coming anyway. I'm free on the weekend, so it's definitely better to hang out with my classmates!"
Then, she looked at Letina, who was standing to the side.
Letina also smiled and said:
"Hello! Miss Letina, you're so tall!"
Standing next to Letina, Eriri became even more aware of the height difference between them.
She was already a head shorter than Kasumigaoka Utaha.
But now there's always someone taller. There's a maid who's 1.8 meters tall. I could stand on the streets of Chiba for half a day and probably not see a single girl who's 1.8 meters tall.
After Kasumigaoka Utaha followed Letina into the house, Eriri also saw the lively scene.
Besides Luo Yu and Lani, Yukino's older sister, Yang Nao, was also there, as were Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana from another class. Eriri had met these two before when they were in school, but they weren't that familiar with each other.
After greeting everyone, Eriri sat down and asked, "Didn't you say that the two Nakiri ladies from Totsuki Academy were also here? Where are they? I'd like to get to know them!"
Luo Yu pointed towards the kitchen and said, "They're tinkering with all the equipment that was delivered. Most of it was chosen by Alice, so I didn't disturb her and let her handle and debug it herself. Come on, I'll take you there to get acquainted with them. The three of them prepared lunch today. If you have any dietary restrictions, you can tell them in advance."
Eriri glanced at the fragrant pastries on the table, swallowed hard, and then followed Luo Yu to the kitchen.
We can eat the snacks later; there's still plenty left.
Following Luo Yu, Eriri looked at the luxurious furnishings in the house and asked curiously, "How did you buy such a big manor?"
Luo Yu smiled and said, "Since we're moving, we naturally need to find a bigger place. We looked at villas, but they're still not as good as this one. Although the price is much higher, it's not unaffordable, so we just went for the best. You don't need to be so surprised, with the Zecun family's wealth, they can definitely afford a manor like this."
"Of course I can afford it, but it would be too empty to live in, so there's no need for it."
Hearing Eriri say that, Luo Yu looked at her curiously, and then asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time.
"I've known you for so long, but I've never heard you mention your father. I've only met Aunt Sawamura before."
When asked about Luo Yu's question, Eriri showed no displeasure and answered directly, "There are two reasons. One is that my father's term was over, and my mother didn't want to go to England. The other is that he cheated on me, and with more than one person, so my mother decisively got a divorce. The procedures were completed at the beginning of the year."
Tsk tsk, so that's how it is. But do the British go to such lengths?
Moreover, Luo Yu couldn't imagine what kind of women could be more attractive than the still charming Sayuri Sawamura, and there was more than one of them.
However, Luo Yu had no intention of inquiring about other people's relationship problems; getting a general understanding was enough.
Then, he led Eriri to the kitchen doorway.
From the open door, the two saw three girls diligently tinkering with various professional kitchen equipment in the spacious kitchen.
Alice, with her white hair and red eyes, was the most excited.
After all, many of the equipment here are molecular gastronomy equipment that I specifically requested to be purchased, and several of them were even directly airlifted from Nakiri International, which cannot be bought anywhere else.
The three of them stopped what they were doing when they saw Luo Yu bringing Eriri over.
After introducing Eriri to the three of them, Luo Yu looked at the already installed equipment and asked, "So, are you planning to use it today?"
With her hands on her hips, Alice said excitedly, "Now that the equipment has arrived, we definitely have to use it! But there might not be enough time at noon, so I'll wait until dinner to make some of my newly researched molecular gastronomy dishes!"
Then, she looked at Eriri, who was standing next to Luo Yu.
"Eri, is it okay if I call you that? Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
Eriri shook her head, then thought for a moment and said, "If I had to say, I don't really like cilantro?"
Eriri wasn't picky about food, thanks to her mother's upbringing. At most, it was just a matter of how much she ate, but she never developed a strong aversion to any particular food.
Upon hearing that Eriri had no dietary restrictions, Alice smiled and said, "Then there's no problem."
Erina chimed in, "We'll be using cilantro in a couple of dishes, but there are substitutes, so it's not a big problem. Luo Yu-kun, we need to prepare lunch now, so you and Eriri can go out first."
Luo Yu glanced at the clock in the kitchen; it was indeed getting late. So he decided not to disturb them any longer and came out with Eriri.
After closing the kitchen door, Eriri said, "I didn't expect that these two young ladies from the Nakiri family would be so easy to get along with, and that Shinto-san is the same."
Luo Yu simply smiled and offered no explanation.
"Come on, let me show you around the house again."
The first place we went was naturally the huge e-sports room upstairs.
Seeing the row of computers, the huge TV, various consoles, and the games and related merchandise displayed in the bookshelf, Eriri's eyes immediately lit up.
"This place is really nicely decorated!"
Then he ran to the bookshelf and looked at the things displayed inside.
Chapter 204 Invitation to Stay for Study and Training (1/2)
As a hardcore otaku, Eriri naturally loves these things, and even saw several limited edition items in the cabinet.
Pointing to a Tifa figure, Eriri exclaimed in surprise, "I remember this was a limited edition and no longer available, right? Where did you buy it?"
Luo Yu said with a smile, "I didn't find them myself. I asked the shop owner who sells computers to help me find them. He knows a lot of people, so I asked him to find some for me. Lani played FF7 Remastered before, so she wanted some merchandise, and I bought some."
"Sigh... Is this even possible? I've asked everyone I know, but I still can't find it!"
Eriri looked at the figures with great envy, but when she thought about how she also had many discontinued figures, her mood immediately improved.
After looking at the figurines and other merchandise, Eriri looked at the neatly arranged computer desks with five monitors on them, as well as a large pile of unopened computer parts next to them, and asked curiously, "Are you going to build five computers here?"
Luo Yu nodded and said, "There are three sets of new parts here, and two more in the old house. We'll just move them over, and that'll be five units."
Looking at the three 4090 boxes stacked together, Eriri said enviously, "Wow, that's great, a 4090. My computer only has a 4070ti."
Luo Yu said with a smile, "If you want to experience it, you can come over here to play when you have time. There are plenty of computers anyway."
Eriri nodded repeatedly. Even if Luo Yu hadn't said anything, the environment here was so nice that she planned to come and play more often.
After visiting the activity room upstairs, Luo Yu took Eriri to the huge basement space that was not yet furnished.
Pointing to the wall, Luo Yu said, "I plan to hang a big screen here to watch movies. The effect will definitely be amazing."
Eriri's eyes widened as she imagined herself watching a movie here.
"This is really great! When will it be all set up?"
Luo Yu replied, "The screen I need is a bit too big. The store doesn't have any. It will be delivered on Monday, the day after tomorrow. It will be installed together with the projector. Once that's done, we'll set up the carpet, sofa, and other furniture, adjust the lighting, and add two snack cabinets and a refrigerator for drinks. That will be all set up."
After the tour, the two returned to the living room on the first floor.
After sitting down, Eriri was finally able to eat the snacks here.
Eriri picked up a bear-shaped cookie, took a bite, and exclaimed with delight, "It's so delicious!"
Luo Yu explained, "It was brought by Alice and the others, and made by Momoko Akane. No one else can get to eat it even if they want to."
Then Luo Yu also thought about the residential training program at Totsuki Academy, which was about to begin the week after next.
Looking at the girls present, Luo Yu also told them about it.
"Next Thursday, Totsuki Academy will be holding a residential training program, where first-year Totsuki students will be assessed at the Totsuki Resort. In addition to alumni instructors, some guests will also be invited. As a shareholder, I have been invited and can bring some people along. Does anyone want to go?"
"Totsuki?"
The girls' eyes lit up.
Eriri swallowed the cookie in her mouth and asked curiously, "Does that mean I can eat lots of delicious food?"
