Chapter 107: Aki Tomoya's Thoughts
"Well, forget it then. If you like it, I'll give this painting to you..."
Noticing that something was a bit off, Eriri decisively gave the painting to Kasumigaoka Utaha. How should she put it? Although this painting was her most perfect work to date, it didn't mean her future achievements would stop there. Besides, since Kasumigaoka Utaha liked it so much, she might as well give it to her.
"Mm, thank you, Sawamura."
The black-haired girl, having come back to her senses, spoke solemnly.
"Ah?! What are you talking about? It's just a painting..."
The Blonde Girl shuddered upon hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's thanks. She was still muttering something under her breath, but one could vaguely see that she was still very happy.
"But this painting is still a semi-finished product; it hasn't been colored yet."
Seeing the black-haired girl staring blankly at the painting beside her, Eriri reminded her.
"That's true, but..."
Looking at this perfect painting, Kasumigaoka Utaha began to hesitate.
Coloring was something where it was easy to make mistakes, and she had to mix the colors from her dream onto the portrait. Once a mistake was made midway, all previous efforts would be in vain. But... looking at Eriri, who was examining the painting beside her, Kasumigaoka's heart suddenly filled with confidence again.
Anyway, Eriri was the one who drew this painting. Even if it was ruined, she would have nothing to say. Besides, with Eriri's excellent drawing skills, Kasumigaoka Utaha still believed the other party could complete this artwork.
"It's fine, Sawamura. I believe in you. Just go ahead and start coloring."
A look of determination flashed in the black-haired girl's eyes; she believed the other party would definitely not let her down.
"What are you talking about? Even if you want me to color it, shouldn't you tell me what colors to use first?"
The Blonde Girl complained from the side.
"Uh, alright then..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha thought for a moment, then suddenly thought of her own eyes.
"Just mix the colors according to the color of my eyes, and the hair should be black too."
The girl described.
"Okay, let me see..."
Listening to Kasumigaoka Utaha's description, Eriri also pulled herself together. She first began to mix the colors, and only after confirming the colors did she slowly begin to apply them. She was extremely cautious throughout the entire process, making even Kasumigaoka Utaha beside her feel nervous.
Meanwhile, Aragaki Moeha on the side had lost interest. She had finished watching the drawing part, and now that her mother was busy coloring, she shifted her gaze back to Aragaki Takiya.
Originally, there was an empty seat next to Aragaki Takiya, but with the arrival of Kato Megumi, that seat was filled. Aragaki Moeha had a good relationship with Kato Megumi, so it was impossible for her to ask the other to get up and give her the seat. Thus... the little blonde loli slowly approached the short-haired girl and stopped beside her.
"Hmm? Does Moeha want to look at the photo album too?"
Kato Megumi, sitting on the sofa, naturally noticed a Little one had appeared beside her, so she asked in a gentle tone.
Aragaki Moeha didn't answer; she just nodded and continued to stare at Kato Megumi.
"Mm, then sit here, okay?"
Kato Megumi pointed to her lap. Her fair, supple skin combined with her white over-the-knee socks made it hard to look away.
Seeing this, Moeha didn't refuse but gently sat on Kato Megumi's lap. The girl took the opportunity to protect the little girl's belly with both hands. In this way, the problem of having no seat was resolved.
And Moeha, sitting in Kato Megumi's embrace, wasn't idle either. While looking at the photo album on Aragaki Takiya's lap beside her, she was also constantly sensing the environment around her.
Compared to other children, Moeha was actually very mentally sensitive due to her upbringing. Changes in the surrounding environment and the people she came into contact with could cause emotional shifts within her. However, while sitting on Kato Megumi, she didn't feel any discomfort.
Although it wasn't as warm as sitting in her mother's embrace, the faint, unknown fragrance emanating from the girl indeed calmed her emotions.
"Mm..."
Moeha blinked and then felt a pair of soft hands protecting her little belly.
After hesitating for a moment, she placed her small hand on top of the other's hand.
This was much more comfortable than before.
Time passed unknowingly, and finally, the thick photo album was turned to the last page. But here, Yukinoshita Ayame felt increasingly uneasy.
Too many things happening to her father had changed. None of these girls in the living room were simple, and adding Shiina Mahiru from yesterday, could her father and mother really develop like they did in the previous world?
Yukinoshita Ayame had no answer in her heart. Perhaps from the moment her father didn't join her mother's club, their paths had already diverged. But if that were the case, why did she still exist? And what was the reason she came here?
Yukinoshita Ayame couldn't figure it out, and her emotions couldn't help but start to sink. The only confirmed good news now was probably that her father was still single, but how long could this state last?
After all, the relationship between that girl named Shiina Mahiru and her father yesterday looked unusual. It was likely only a matter of time before it developed into a romantic relationship.
Knock, knock, knock...
While Yukinoshita Ayame was still worrying about this matter, a sound suddenly came from the door at the Entrance. Hearing the sound, Aragaki Takiya immediately went to open the door.
Sure enough, after the door opened, the one who arrived late was indeed Aki Tomoya.
"Eh? That... are you all here already?"
The sweating Aki Tomoya panted, his gaze involuntarily falling on everyone in the living room. After looking around, he realized he was actually the last one to arrive.
"Yeah, Eriri, Kasumigaoka Senpai, and Kato have been here for a long time."
Seeing Aki Tomoya like this, Aragaki Takiya responded flatly.
"That, sorry. Because I was delayed by something on the road, so..."
Aki Tomoya was explaining, but the boy in front of him suddenly moved aside.
"You should say that to Eriri. After all, she has completed all the drafts you assigned, and she was the first to arrive today."
"Ah? Is that so?"
Hearing this, Aki Tomoya felt a bit uncomfortable. He was very moved that Eriri could help him complete the drafts and even remembered the time for the club meeting so well, but... the figure of Hashima Izumi flashed through his mind—that junior who was very enthusiastic toward him, that junior with great drawing skills, that... Aki Tomoya remained silent. Although Eriri had done a lot, he didn't intend to give up on his ideas.
