Chapter 100: Yukinoshita's Day of Suffering
"Wha—?? What?!"
Aragaki Moeha's calling her "Mom" directly made Eriri go weak all over. God knows why she had such a reaction, but... but why did she feel it was so normal?
At this moment, the Blonde Girl's face was flushed, but a strange sensation filled her heart. How to describe it? It was like suddenly drinking a mouthful of ice-cold cola on a forty-degree summer day when you're at your thirstiest. That feeling... as if possessed by some whim, Eriri gently hugged her, as if holding some precious treasure.
On the other side, Yukinoshita Ayame watched this scene with some surprise. Having herself as an example, she didn't quite believe the excuse that Aragaki Moeha had simply mistaken her for someone else. Perhaps... "Hmm? Did something happen?"
Just as Yukinoshita Ayame was speculating in her heart, Aragaki Takiya's voice suddenly came from the doorway.
When she turned around, she saw Aragaki Takiya wearing an apron, watching the scene.
In that instant, the figure in Yukinoshita Ayame's memory merged perfectly with this one, causing her to recall some unpleasant memories.
"Ah?! It's nothing. Moeha was just half-asleep and mistook me for her mom."
The Blonde Girl hurriedly explained.
"Uh?! Ah? Is that so? Sorry, Eriri. Maybe it's because Moeha didn't sleep well last night..."
Hearing Eriri's words, Aragaki Takiya's hand couldn't help but tremble. Fortunately, Eriri didn't actually think along those lines, otherwise... "I'm so careless. I should handle these things personally from now on..."
Aragaki Takiya thought to himself, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on Yukinoshita Ayame. But... why did she look like she was about to cry?
Although she was Yukinoshita Yukino's younger sister, Aragaki Takiya felt a wave of inexplicable discomfort seeing this.
It was as if his heart didn't want to see her like this. Was it because his love for Aragaki Moeha and Shiina Kaede had extended to her?
Aragaki Takiya couldn't say for sure. If he explained it that way, others would probably think he was a creep, right?
"What's wrong, Ayane? Do you miss your sister?"
Seeing the Little one's sad expression, Aragaki Takiya couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"Um, it's nothing. I just thought of some other things..."
Yukinoshita explained, quickly wiping away the tears that were about to overflow. With so many people around, she didn't want to show her vulnerable side to others.
"Well, then hurry up and get up for breakfast."
Seeing the smile return to Yukinoshita Ayame's small face, Aragaki Takiya's mood improved as well, and he couldn't resist patting her head.
"Geez~ Aragaki, you're not a Lolicon, are you?"
Seeing Aragaki Takiya's practiced movements, Eriri couldn't help but complain.
"Of course not. I just like seeing the smiles on Children's faces."
Aragaki Takiya explained, then turned his gaze to Aragaki Moeha.
"Get up quickly, Moeha. If you don't hurry, breakfast will get cold."
"Oh, okay."
After the series of events just now, Aragaki Moeha had also woken up, but her current mood was quite complicated.
Although she had successfully called out "Mom" as she wished, it was unfair to Shiina Kaede. But fortunately, her mom didn't think along those lines at all... though that didn't seem like something to be happy about either... "By the way, Eriri, I made a portion for you too. If you don't mind, have some."
Coming to the dining table, Aragaki Takiya brought out a plate of sandwiches and said to the Blonde Girl.
"Eh? How did you know I hadn't eaten breakfast?"
Eriri blinked and asked curiously.
"Based on the distance from your house to here and how you looked when you arrived, it's pretty easy to guess you hadn't eaten breakfast..."
Aragaki Takiya explained.
"I see. Then I won't be polite."
Looking at the breakfast in front of her, Eriri didn't hold back. She picked up a piece and took a big bite.
Mm, Eriri, who was used to the food made by her family's chef, surprisingly found this sandwich delicious.
"But why are you here so early today? I remember Aki-san set the time for one o'clock in the afternoon."
Seeing the girl eating with gusto, Aragaki Takiya asked curiously.
"Well, because it's too boring at home, and I haven't seen Moeha in a long time, so of course I had to come early today..."
Eriri explained slowly, but she hid one thing.
That was that Sayuri also wanted to come see Moeha today, but Eriri had fended her off with the excuse of a gathering for people their own age. The price, however, was that she had to bring Aragaki Moeha to her house as a guest next week.
"I'm clearly her daughter, but it feels like she likes Aragaki Moeha more no matter how I look at it."
The Blonde Girl complained in her heart, then took a fierce bite of the sandwich.
She hadn't forgotten seeing Sayuri looking at photos of Aragaki Moeha she'd taken before on her phone after school one day. It was a good thing Sayuri was her mother, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stop herself from calling the police... "Is Papa very close to her?"
Compared to Aragaki Takiya and Eriri, who were chatting animatedly, Yukinoshita Ayame chose to be a listener.
However, she gained a lot of useful information from this.
She just didn't know her father actually knew so many pretty girls.
But regarding this point, Yukinoshita Ayame was still relatively satisfied.
Because although her father seemed to have a good relationship with both Shiina Mahiru and Eriri, in the previous world, it was her mother who had won.
And most importantly, in Yukinoshita Ayame's memory, her father had always lived alone with her after her mother passed away.
The kind of life with very little social interaction.
This indirectly proved her father was a devoted person, even though some things in this world had deviated from the intended path.
But Yukinoshita Ayame believed that under her guidance, everything would return to normal.
It's just that she didn't know how her mother was doing now.
You should know that her Maternal Aunt and Maternal Grandmother were very formidable.
Even her father in the previous world was very afraid of them.
But if it's Mom, she should be able to handle it... Meanwhile, on the other side, in the Yukinoshita Family's luxury car.
Mrs. Yukinoshita was catching up with Yukinoshita Yukino on recent events.
Although it seemed like just a normal conversation, the pressure it put on Yukinoshita Yukino was impossible to hide.
On the surface, Yukinoshita Yukino listened intently and answered Mrs. Yukinoshita's questions seriously.
But in reality, her mind had already drifted elsewhere.
Even though she had only not seen Yukinoshita Ayame for one day, she already couldn't help but start missing her.
