That night, in this small house, none of them slept well.
The sound of the rain outside gradually rose, like the applause of the believers of the Star Religious Group, disturbing people's hearts.
In the master bedroom, Riko Amanai lay in the soft bedding, her face slightly red. Her eyes were a little bright in the dark, like a little bit of starlight in the boundless universe.
She recalled the words that Zenin Kiyoshi had said tonight, recalling that "Riko Amanai," recalling that "sounds much better."
The more she recalled and thought about those things, the more she felt an indescribable joy in her heart.
She was too excited to sleep, and her body and face were a little hot. She covered her head with the quilt, then stretched out her legs and kicked the quilt, letting out one or two low cries of excitement of unknown meaning.
And in Misato Kuroi's room next to the master bedroom, she was listening to the commotion coming from the next room, a slightly helpless smile on her face.
She knew that Riko Amanai must be very excited now, and she was also happy that she could get out of that state of self-abandonment so quickly.
Zenin Kiyoshi's previous words unconsciously appeared in her mind, but Misato Kuroi suddenly found that her thoughts were not on Riko Amanai at this time.
Instead, all her attention was now unconsciously focused on Zenin Kiyoshi.
Recalling the words that Zenin Kiyoshi had said to her before, it seemed to have the same meaning as the words he said to Miss Riko.
Neither of them were tools whose meaning was given by others, but people with their own consciousness, various emotions, and their own preferences and moods.
Every time she thought of this, Misato Kuroi would feel as if Zenin Kiyoshi's gentle voice was ringing in her ears again.
Unconsciously, even she was now a little restless in her heart.
She pushed open the window, but because it was raining outside, she only opened a small crack.
The night wind, carrying some raindrops, passed through the crack in the window, with a hint of coolness, and thus hit Miss Kuroi's face.
The cool rainwater fell on her cheeks, bringing fresh air, and at the same time, it also made Kuroi calm down a little. Listening to the commotion that was still coming from the next room, she smiled slightly and said nothing.
And in the guest bedroom on the second floor, Yuki Tsukumo's face was flushed at this moment. The indescribable feeling of resonance that Riko Amanai downstairs had been bringing to her made her already chaotic heart even more messy.
She now just wanted to rush down to Riko Amanai's room and tell her that a young girl of her age should put her studies first, and not think about things that she shouldn't be thinking about at her age all day.
She even wanted to rush in front of Riko Amanai and tell her all of Zenin Kiyoshi's various bad habits, so that she would know that there were many other good men in this world to choose from.
For example, Zenin Kiyoshi's shortcomings. As long as she wanted to say it, then there could be countless... countless kinds?
No! I don't think I've found any shortcomings of that brat so far!
His strength is basically the strongest at his age.
Mature, reliable, emotionally stable, far-sighted... Why do these evaluation words that are obviously for adults fit that brat so well!
And can you not set your own ideals so high!
The speed of her thoughts changed extremely fast. In a short while, she had shifted from her criticism of Zenin Kiyoshi and Riko Amanai to her own struggle and internal friction.
And because Yuki Tsukumo was not the kind of person who liked to hide her feelings, there were constant footsteps walking back and forth in her room.
She was still wearing that kind of leather boots, and the sound of them stepping on the floor was extremely heavy.
Toji was unlucky enough to sleep in the room below Yuki Tsukumo's. He listened to the "thump-thump-thump" footsteps upstairs, and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly.
However, he didn't have any spare time to deal with that crazy woman Yuki Tsukumo now.
Because on his flip phone at this moment, a slightly blurry photo was coming in.
It was a photo sent by Eri Fushiguro.
In the photo, she was wearing a cake shop clerk's uniform, and in front of her was a cake she had baked herself. There was also a caption below.
"A cake made after many trials, specially made for a friend who really likes takoyaki."
Looking at the strange cake with many small octopus balls placed on the surface, Toji only felt an indescribable excitement and agitation in his heart.
He felt his heart beating very fast. This was the first time in his life, no, to be precise, the second time.
Someone was willing to make a special meal for his preferences and taste.
The first time was that brat Zenin Kiyoshi, but that brat was purely because he had only bought the ingredients he liked to eat that time. Kiyoshi had no choice but to specially cook it according to his taste.
But Eri Fushiguro... she was, in the true sense, the first person who was willing to make a dish that belonged to his preferences for him.
But looking at the message sent from the other party on his phone, Toji was a little unsure of how to reply.
Should he ask the other party, "Did you make this cake for me?"
Would that be too direct? And although he had said that he liked to eat takoyaki, this did not mean that the cake was made for him.
After all, takoyaki is a very popular food throughout Japan, and too many people like this dish.
So, there are many people who like to eat cakes, and many people who like to eat takoyaki. By this calculation, the combination of cake and takoyaki doesn't seem to be a strange thing.
So on what basis did he think that Eri Fushiguro's cake was made for him?
What if he was being self-indulgent and misunderstood Eri's meaning? Wouldn't that make him very embarrassed? And maybe it would also make the other party think that he was a bastard who didn't respect women.
Thinking of this, Toji once again began to ponder. After pondering for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage and sent two words:
"Looks good."
Eri Fushiguro looked at the short two words sent by Toji, and a slightly disappointed look inevitably appeared on her face.
I clearly spent a long time making it... Just these two words are really too...
But thinking of Toji's taciturn appearance and the hesitant way he talked to her, Eri seemed to suddenly understand something.
She smiled and typed two words on her phone:
"These two words, did it take you a long time to think of them?"
"Yeah..."
