"Wha... what! Why do you think it's related to that person! Seriously!"
Eriri proudly turned her face away.
Sayuri smiled more cheerfully.
Yeah, it really is related to Yukima-kun.
This answer is so obvious!
No way to deny it!
Oh, by the way...
"So, if it's not related to Yukima-kun, could it be related to Aki-kun?"
She asked while still smiling.
But this ti, Sayuri's smile didn't co from her heart.
Speaking of Aki Tomoya,
Eriri instinctively furrowed her brows.
"No, no way, mom, really! I'm going to my room!"
After saying that, Eriri ran upstairs.
Sayuri rubbed her face with her left hand, seemingly deep in thought.
Looking at her daughter's reaction,
It seed there was indeed sothing going on.
So, should I have been more decisive back then and moved that person out of class 1-E?
Thinking of this, Sayuri shook her head again.
It should be fine.
After all, Yukima-kun is there.
With Yukima-kun's skills and intentions, that person shouldn't be able to ss things up.
When it cos to relationships, it's always better to decide quickly rather than drag things out.
Regarding Yukima Azuma and Aki Tomoya,
Sayuri could say she understood both very well.
In elentary school, Eriri had been victim in a bullying incident.
Sayuri noticed sothing unusual and imdiately intervened.
She thoroughly investigated the cause of the incident and decisively transferred Eriri to a different school.
But the transfer wasn't the end of the matter; it was only a significant turning point.
The reason Eriri is an otaku is mainly because of Sayuri's influence.
After all, Sayuri is an otaku herself.
Therefore, regarding Aki Tomoya's identity as an otaku,
Sayuri didn't have the aversion that most parents would feel.
But after the bullying incident, Sayuri started to see Aki Tomoya differently.
Although the main reason Eriri was bullied was because of her otaku interests,
the process of it happening was very thought-provoking.
Aki Tomoya had been an avid fan of otaku culture since he was young.
Because of this, he "evangelized" those around him.
In other words, he promoted otaku culture.
But it was the kind of promotion where he didn't understand the situation at all.
Naturally, he was disliked by his elentary school classmates.
As for Eriri, she shared the sa otaku interests,
but in fact, she and Aki Tomoya were different.
Eriri's interest in otaku culture was more about personal enjoynt.
Even though she participated in doujinshi activities out of passion, she kept them completely separate from her everyday life.
However, Aki Tomoya dragged Eriri into the ss.
Because in school, he freely discussed otaku culture with Eriri.
This led to Eriri being disliked as well and eventually being bullied.
After thoroughly investigating the cause of the incident, Sayuri understood it very clearly.
Aki Tomoya was the type of person who, for the things he wanted to do, was enthusiastic enough to go to any lengths.
When he was in elentary school, Aki Tomoya might not have had any deep thoughts.
But his instincts led him to drag Eriri into this situation.
Because Eriri was a brilliant young lady.
Unlike ordinary people, she was the daughter of a diplomat, a true young lady, and her presence was a resource.
Just by letting others know that Eriri was an otaku,
people couldn't help but think, "Even that young lady is an otaku, maybe otaku aren't so bad after all."
This was sothing Sayuri couldn't accept.
As part of Japan's upper class, those who truly hold power and wealth,
Sayuri had one thing she couldn't allow to be touched: her daughter, Eriri.
Eriri might not excel in school, might not have anything in her hands,
as long as she's happy, that's enough for Sayuri.
That's Sayuri's heart.
If this had happened in high school,
Sayuri probably would have acted against Aki Tomoya.
But since it was elentary school, an unintentional action from an elentary school student, Sayuri reluctantly let it slide.
In fact, after transferring Eriri to a new school,
Sayuri had worried for a long ti.
She feared that Eriri wouldn't be able to overco the shadow of being bullied.
And there was the influence of Aki Tomoya.
Eriri had always been the type of person with simple thoughts.
Her feelings for soone could easily be sothing she would hold onto forever.
Fortunately... after transferring schools, soone else appeared in Eriri's sight.
In fact, when Sayuri first t Yukima Azuma,
she had so rather extre thoughts.
"Whoever it is, as long as they take my daughter into their hands, even if they abandon her later, it's fine!"
Sayuri even had such thoughts.
In Sayuri's view, having romantic experience as early as possible was ideal.
As long as Eriri could escape the shadow of Aki Tomoya, that would be enough.
It would be better for her heart to embrace many people than to be consud by just one.
But the appearance of Yukima Azuma really surprised Sayuri.
Only a week after transferring,
Eriri was smiling again.
Sayuri subtly inquired and found out that it was Yukima Azuma who helped her integrate into the class.
It was hard to imagine an elentary school student being able to easily break through the social barriers in class.
He pulled Eriri in, even elevating her to the position of a "goddess."
His ability to transcend his age made Sayuri very curious about Yukima Azuma.
When the two officially confird their relationship, which was during middle school,
Sayuri conducted a thorough investigation into Yukima Azuma.
What she discovered once again surprised her.
"The Yukima family" had disappeared.
For a child who hadn't even entered middle school yet, the first reaction to such a situation would likely be devastation.
But that boy,
returned to Chiba alone from Tokyo.
Then, he took care of everything in his family.
Afterward, he took whatever he could carry and moved back to Tokyo.
Just by looking at the docunts, Sayuri could imagine the scene of wolves closing in.
Other branches of the family, like "uncles" and "aunts," would rush in, wearing ominous smiles.
A group of adults surrounding a child, all wanting to sink their teeth into the boy.
Just thinking about it sent a chill down her spine.
-------------------------------
Trans p.s: Honestly, I'm confused. The main character is currently 15-16, but previously, due to a family incident, they moved to Chiba 3 years ago. So, the main character started dating Utaha at 12-13????? and Utaha like 14-15???
