Sawamura Sayuri and Asakura Reiko entered the private room, each carrying shopping bags, clearly having just returned from a major shopping spree.
Seeing that Kaede and Eriri had also arrived, Asakura Reiko put down her things and said with a smile, "I thought you two would be a little later!"
"After seeing the ssage, we left a little while later."
Kaede looked at his mother, who had changed her hairstyle since leaving ho, and teased, "Too bad Dad is on a business trip."
"It's alright, he'll see it the day after tomorrow. Plus, I've already sent him photos." Asakura Reiko had clearly enjoyed her outing today and was in high spirits.
Sawamura Sayuri, beside her, was equally delighted. After sitting down, she looked at Eriri and said, "Have you finished all your howork?"
"Do you even need to ask? I finished it this morning!"
Eriri proudly lifted her little head and then said, "Besides, Mom, why didn't you even send a ssage?"
"Oh, really, was I supposed to?" Sawamura Sayuri propped her chin on her hand and smiled, "I just thought Eriri has grown up, and I don't need to worry about her all the ti. Besides, Kaede-kun is with her, so there's even less to worry about, right, Reiko?"
"Exactly." Asakura Reiko nodded. "Kaede will take good care of Eriri."
"Ugh..."
Being teased like this by two elders in front of her, Eriri could only seek help from Kaede beside her. However, at this mont, Kaede also dared not speak much, silently drinking tea.
Seeing Kaede's action, Eriri knew he was preparing to watch the show. She imdiately pulled Kaede's sleeve in dissatisfaction, staring at him.
There was no choice. On one side was Eriri's action, and the two elders opposite were also watching him with interest. Even if Kaede could usually hide his emotions, at this mont, he showed a hint of shyness.
He took Eriri's hand and said, "Alright, Mom, Sayuri-san, stop teasing Eriri. It's getting late, let's eat first and chat while we eat."
Sawamura Sayuri and Asakura Reiko also knew when to stop. They called the waiter to serve the dishes.
The dishes were served slowly, one by one, and the four ate and chatted. Of course, what happened at ho that afternoon was definitely not ntioned.
After dinner, the ti ca to 7:30 PM.
The four people, leaving the restaurant, got into two separate cars and went their separate ways ho.
In the car on the way ho, Sawamura Sayuri drove while saying to her daughter in the passenger seat, "Eriri, is there sothing you haven't told Mom?"
"Eh? What is it?"
Eriri looked at her mother, puzzled.
With both hands on the steering wheel, Sawamura Sayuri said with a knowing glint in her eyes, "Eriri, you haven't forgotten, have you? The shampoo you usually use for your hair is apple-scented. So, what kind of shampoo scent am I slling right now?"
"Uh..."
Eriri was instantly speechless. She ran a hand through her ponytail and sniffed, only then realizing that the problem lay there.
What the... it's all Kaede-kun's fault, it got all over my hair, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been found out!
Eriri could only quickly co up with an excuse, saying, "I was a bit sleepy this afternoon, so I took a nap. Isn't it normal to take a shower after waking up?"
"Hmm~~~ So that's how it is."
Sawamura Sayuri nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and pressed, "Then, did Eriri sleep alone? Or..."
"Mom!!!"
"Oh, oh, oh, you're shy, huh? Then I won't ask anymore. Just make sure you handle things well, Eriri."
With Sawamura Sayuri saying that, Eriri didn't know what she had guessed, but she didn't dare to say more and could only turn her head to look out the window.
As for the other side, Asakura Reiko naturally didn't ask anything. After all, if she were to be thick-skinned, with the two children alone at ho, her son certainly wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Of course, for a son she had watched grow up, Asakura Reiko wouldn't think he would do anything scummy like playing around and then abandoning soone; that was absolutely impossible... Eriri and Kaede's manga, after weeks of careful preparation, finally completed its third chapter in the Art Club on a Friday.
"Finished!"
After saving the file, Eriri let out a sigh of relief, saying, "It was a bit unfamiliar at first, I had to draw many parts several tis and then revise them. The characteristics of yokai, things like that, were so hard to get right."
Kaede stretched, a relaxed expression on his face, and said, "It's alright, just take it slow. It's fine for the first few chapters to be slow, as long as you pick up the pace later. Hmm... now that we have three chapters, Eriri, when do you want to submit it?"
"Eh? Didn't we say after sumr vacation?"
"It's up to your personal wishes. Although sumr vacation is a good ti to relax, if you, Eriri, want to start serializing earlier and are willing to sacrifice so of your sumr fun, I'll be with you."
"Sumr vacation, huh..." Eriri started to look troubled. She had thought of many ideas for things to do with Kaede at ho during the sumr vacation!
At this mont, Usami and Uchimaki Subaru, who were drawing on the other side, noticed and curiously ca over.
"Eh! You've drawn up to the third chapter of the manga? Let us see!"
"Mhm, mhm! Eriri, I want to see it too!"
Seeing this, Eriri imdiately closed her laptop and shook her head with a smile: "No, we have to keep it a secret. It can only be revealed when it's serialized!"
The President, who was lying on the sofa, wasn't curious at all and casually said, "You two shouldn't be so curious. If you have that much free ti, you might as well look forward to the results of the painting competition, which will be announced in two days."
"Oh, right! The results will be announced in two days!"
Usami reacted this ti, excitedly looking at Uchimaki Subaru beside her and saying, "Uchimaki-san, what kind of ranking do you think we'll get then?"
"As for the ranking, I don't really care."
Uchimaki Subaru scratched his head and said with a smile, "Anyway, I've already drawn the 2d waifu I wanted to draw, so the results aren't important to ."
It must be said that Uchimaki Subaru's mindset was quite good.
Eriri said admiringly, "I've participated in similar drawing competitions before, and there are often very talented peers participating, so don't be too fixated on the ranking. Making progress from it is the main thing."
Usami listened, then said sowhat shyly, "I actually know all this, but this is my first ti participating in such a competition, so I'm very excited. Especially the night I submitted the painting, I didn't sleep well at all, constantly estimating what my results would be."
"Anyway, we'll know soon enough, won't we?"
Closing the laptop, Kaede said, "It should be Sunday, right? It'll be exhibited at an art museum. How about we all go see it then?"
"No problem!"
Everyone agreed.
