Miyoko Hojo didn't have the butterfly charm material resting on her hair, but on her white school uniform shirt, making it look like a pretty bow. Everyone hadn't really noticed it at first.
Ryoko Sakaki looked at Satou with a beaming smile and tutted twice.
Satou was a little helpless. He had given it to Miyoko Hojo yesterday and told her how to care for it.
But he couldn't help it. At that time, Miyoko Hojo had talked to him like that, and in that situation, he simply couldn't refuse.
Miyoko Hojo's face showed a faint blush, and she slightly turned her head away.
"Satou, you can't play favorites, you know."
Ryoko Sakaki looked at Satou and smiled slightly.
"That's right, that's right."
Yuki Yoshino nodded repeatedly.
The two of them had long been coveting the butterfly charm material that Tadokoro Megumi usually kept by her side.
"I know."
Satou said helplessly.
Since he had even given one to Miyoko Hojo, he had no choice but to give one to Ryoko Sakaki and Yuki Yoshino each, so as not to leave them with anything to talk about.
But fortunately, the butterfly charm material wasn't too expensive, so he could still afford to give them.
"Really?"
Apparently, she hadn't expected Satou to actually agree to give her a butterfly charm material. Ryoko Sakaki, instead, became embarrassed. She had only been joking because she knew such butterflies must be extremely expensive.
"I was just saying it casually, maybe not?"
She hesitated for a moment and said, feeling that it wasn't quite right to accept such a precious gift from Satou.
"It's fine, as long as you like it."
Satou smiled indifferently and said.
Since he had already promised them, he couldn't go back on his word, could he?
"This way, I feel rather embarrassed."
Ryoko Sakaki brushed her hair and couldn't help but smile.
"Huh, Ryoko, didn't you say last time that if Satou ever gave you a butterfly, you'd be his girlfriend?"
Yuki Yoshino's eyes darted, and she suddenly said with a laugh.
"Eh? Is... is that so?"
Ryoko Sakaki's face immediately turned completely red, and she lowered her head shyly, stammering as she spoke.
Miyoko Hojo was also startled.
"I heard it too."
Yukihira Soma chuckled from the side.
"I say, Ryoko, you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?" Yuki Yoshino teased, smiling from the side.
Ryoko Sakaki immediately blushed scarlet. She had indeed said that, but it was just a joke.
"Ryoko was probably just joking, right? Little Yu, don't tease Ryoko anymore." Tadokoro Megumi couldn't help but say from the side.
"So it was a joke?" Miyoko Hojo also breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuki Yoshino stuck out her tongue and giggled.
"I say, Satou, can you give me one too?" Yukihira Soma asked eagerly. "That spice is really useful; it can boost the aroma of a dish by a lot."
"Get out of here! That's our girls' exclusive patent!" Yuki Yoshino made a face at Yukihira Soma and said.
There were no classes in the afternoon, so Yuki Yoshino even pulled out a deck of cards. Everyone played cards while eating snacks and drinking juice, enjoying a rare leisurely afternoon.
Originally, Satou wanted to spend the time with everyone in the activity room, but he received a text message from Alice Nakiri midway through.
"My Mother-in-law isn't home this afternoon, come play with me quickly."
Satou was a bit speechless after reading her message.
However, during this period, due to Leonora Nakiri, Satou and Alice Nakiri had indeed spent much less time together.
After thinking for a moment, he still stood up.
"Eh? Satou, aren't you playing with us anymore?" Tadokoro Megumi couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, aren't you playing cards with us?" Yuki Yoshino also followed up with a question.
"Hmm, something suddenly came up that I need to do," Satou said.
"Alright." Although she was disappointed not to spend a pleasant afternoon with Satou, Tadokoro Megumi still nodded obediently and smiled, "I wish you all the best."
After leaving his research club, Satou went to Alice Nakiri's residence.
As soon as he knocked on the door, a beautiful figure with silver hair, wearing a purple dress and red high heels, appeared before him…
"Huh? Aunt, are you still here?" Looking at his Mother-in-law, Satou was a bit puzzled. Didn't Alice say her Mother-in-law had already left?
Leonora Nakiri smiled slightly, said nothing, pulled Satou into the house, and then closed the door.
"By the way, where's Alice?" Satou glanced around the living room but didn't see Alice Nakiri. Usually, at this time, she would have happily run down the stairs to greet him.
Just then, Leonora Nakiri suddenly pressed close, tackling Satou to the ground, and then kissed him deeply.
Satou was stunned by this sudden action and for a moment forgot to push her away.
It was unclear how long it took before they finally separated.
Satou looked at the person in front of him with a complex expression. He could still recall the other party's passionate kiss just now, and his heart felt like a five-flavor bottle had been overturned.
Although this Mother-in-law was young and beautiful, he had never thought about that kind of thing. He also hadn't expected Leonora Nakiri to suddenly make such a move towards him today.
Just as Satou was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that Leonora Nakiri's hair seemed a bit short today?
The person suddenly chuckled, her wine-red pupils full of laughter, and she said with a smile, "Satou, what did you just call me? Say it again, let me hear it."
Satou was stunned, then suddenly realized, feeling both exasperated and amused.
Alice Nakiri stood up from the ground, then pulled Satou up as well, playfully sticking out her tongue, her face full of a mischievous grin: "How was it? Were you startled just now?"
Satou was a bit speechless and said, "I was almost scared to death just now. I thought..."
"You thought it was my Mother-in-law, didn't you?" Alice Nakiri smiled triumphantly, then lifted her skirt hem, twirled around in front of Satou, and smiled slightly, "How about it? Do I look like my Mother-in-law?"
Satou looked her up and down and nodded, "Indeed, very much alike."
The two mother and daughter were already like they were carved from the same mold, and with Alice wearing her Mother-in-law's clothes, Satou really hadn't recognized her just now.
