The girl cried out, lost her balance, and immediately fell forward onto the ground. Even the baseball cap on her head flew off, revealing her long black hair.
"Ah, are you alright?"
Satou quickly asked with concern.
The girl sat on the ground, her clothes disheveled, revealing her smooth, tender shoulders. Both wooden clogs had long flown far away, and the baseball cap lay beside her. From under her kimono, two round, pale thighs were visible, and her small feet wore white socks.
She looked very young and pretty, with a pair of reddish-purple pupils. Her long purple hair was tied into two long ponytails with red strings, her bangs were neat, and two long strands of hair hung down by her cheeks.
At this moment, she was frowning and rubbing her scraped knee, glaring at Satou with both shame and annoyance.
Satou was also a bit speechless. Whose fault was it that as soon as he called out, the girl turned and ran like a thief?
However, upon closer inspection, Satou realized that she should be much older than himself, looking to be in her twenties. Her face had a mature charm, so she shouldn't be called a girl anymore.
Satou picked up the two wooden clogs that had flown far away, then squatted down to help her put them on her feet.
"You…"
She was startled, and a blush flashed across her face.
"Are you alright?"
Satou scratched his head, stood up, and extended his hand to her.
The woman snorted lightly in an arrogant manner, placed her hand on Satou's, and let him pull her up.
Looking at her, Satou was a bit speechless and asked, "What were you secretly peeking at outside?"
"I should be the one asking that, shouldn't I? I want to ask you, why is a boy like you in her room?"
Upon hearing this, the woman's eyebrows immediately shot up, she put her hands on her hips, and glared at Satou angrily, demanding.
Satou looked at the girl's black-purple long hair and reddish-purple pupils, and his heart immediately jumped. Could she be Kasumigaoka Utaha's older sister?
Was that why the previous scene occurred, because he mistook Eriri Spencer Sawamura's Apartment next door for Kasumigaoka Utaha's Apartment?
In that case, he had misunderstood her.
Satou scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry, Older Sister, I'm actually your sister's friend."
"Oh? You call me Older Sister?"
The woman's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of playfulness flashed within them.
"Uh, aren't you her sister?"
Satou couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not, but I am her mother, Sawamura Sayuri."
A mischievous smile suddenly appeared on the woman's face, and a hint of triumph flashed in her wine-red pupils, as if she were a little girl who had just played a prank on someone.
"Uh…"
Indeed, Satou was immediately speechless and looked the woman up and down again.
He really couldn't tell that she was a mother with such a grown-up daughter!
By age, she should be at least thirty-five, right? But she looked only in her twenties.
If the two stood together, most people would certainly think they were sisters.
Enjoying Satou's surprised expression, Sawamura Sayuri's face showed a triumphant smile.
"Actually, I wanted to secretly check how that child was living outside. But since you found out, there's nothing I can do."
She said.
"Is that so? Please come in first."
Satou scratched his head, then led her to the door of Kasumigaoka Utaha's Apartment.
"Oh? So she lives here?"
Sawamura Sayuri muttered to herself, "I thought it was the one next door to the next door."
Watching Satou familiarly retrieve a key from under the doormat and naturally open the door and enter, it was clear this wasn't his first time doing so. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
… 0 …
This boy, he seems to be more than just ordinarily familiar with my daughter!
Entering the living room, Sawamura Sayuri was a bit surprised, apparently not expecting it to be so tidy.
She knew how messy her daughter was in private.
"Uh, because I had already helped clean up before."
Satou saw her confusion, cleared his throat lightly, and said.
"Is that so? I didn't realize you had such a side to you."
She nodded, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
After inviting Senior Kasumigaoka's mother to sit on the sofa, Satou walked into the kitchen and began to make tea.
Noticing this detail, Sawamura Sayuri was secretly surprised again.
She knew her daughter rented an Apartment outside as a place for her creative work. It was precisely because she was worried about how her daughter was living outside that she decided to secretly come and check.
What she didn't expect was to meet Satou.
This boy had a deep relationship with her daughter. Were they already dating? Did they even live together normally?
Satou handed a cup of tea to her and said, "Auntie, please have some tea."
Although Sawamura Sayuri was incredibly surprised, she still pretended to be nonchalant, picked up the cup, took a sip, and then asked indifferently, "Are you already living with my daughter? Have you two already done it?"
Upon hearing this question, Satou, who was drinking tea, immediately spat out all the water.
