"Oh, well! Am I right? Good for you. Ugh, red rice tonight ~, a treat ~. I'm gonna stick it out."

Waiting for us to go home to Ibaraki Bulba... Mutsuko "Togo" 's full smile and his delightful words.

It may be a repetitive expression, but I guess this is exactly what you refer to as a delightful surface.

He's always the one who keeps smiling, but he looks even happier today.

When I saw that smile, I remembered when the sun was shining and shining and glaring too much. That's about the smile.

By the way, this dialogue is not because we reported everything to Mutsuko today...

Once you enter the front door, it is sudden.

There was no explanation, it was uttered by Mutsuko, who welcomed me just before the words.

When I saw Chirali, me and the hand of the Seven Seas connecting, I nodded as I was convinced and then... I was immediately raising my voice of joy.

"Uh... I'm just here. Mutsuko."

"I'm home, Mother..."

We both greet each other home as we draw a little as we rejoice.

"Yeah, yeah, welcome back, both of you. Chi (...) n (...) and (...) two (...) people (...) align (...) eh (...) and (...) go home (...) eh (...) and (...) be (...) and (...)... Mother, I'm so happy."

Me and the seven seas that lean down a little and dye my cheeks.

Mutsuko looks happy to see us like that... Hmm? Just the two of us...?

"Maybe... Mutsuko... did you know?

There's only one answer to purposefully saying this, even though it's usual to come home holding hands.

Mutsuko also...... did you know the confession of the punishment game?

And I also knew that the Seven Seas would tell me about it today.

So I'm glad that we're back with our hands together.

Did you hear that from the Seven Seas?

Mutsuko nods quietly and smiles gently at me wondering about that.

"What are you talking about on the doorstep... There's cake, let's make it tea. Let's celebrate lightly."

In a light footing, like skipping, Mako went to prepare her tea as she sang her nose.

I was left with a slight grunt, but returned to me to the potpourring whine of the Seven Seas lying beside me.

"All we knew... was your mother... what..."

That look just seems a little uneasy. Why do you seem so anxious?

... Oh well. Is Seven Seas worried I'm not mad?

I knew about your conversation with Kenyo-san and Kamiene-san... but it was the first time I heard Makoto say he knew.

He looks up at me anxiously, like a child before he scolds me. Where did you learn to bruise like that? No, is this natural?

"I'm surprised Mutsuko knew... I'm not mad."

I reassure the Seven Seas while I gently lay my hands on my head with a pompom.

"Really...? Sorry......"

"Fine, I don't have to apologize. Lovers forgive each other if it's not the same thing, right?

The Seven Seas just gave me a reassuring look and rubbed my cheek against me. As far as its appearance is concerned, the anxiety seems to have dissipated only a little.

Then I get just a little bit of a bad look. Another different look from anxiety, and today I just enjoyed that look that changes the corn.

... It's not like I'm an S. Something fun.

"Actually... your mother found out the day I brought Yangshin"

"... Huh?... really? Not too sharp, Mutsuko..."

When I asked him precisely, Mutsuko inquired about the Seven Seas that were strange, and said that the Seven Seas was honestly telling the truth.

Still, at the point where I noticed my daughter's discomfort... Mutsuko, that's amazing.

"What are you both doing? Tea's ready."

In response, we moved to the living room.

There's a cake for three... Mutsuko was just pouring tea.

"Today, I got excited and bought expensive cake ~. Don't hesitate to eat it, okay? It's our anniversary. Lover's Day. I can't help but be happy anymore."

While pouring tea, Ukiuki and Mutsuko seem to enjoy themselves more than we, the principals... they seem to be happy.

It was something that made us happy to watch... but I was a little concerned.

"What if... what if we're talking about?... If it didn't work, what were you going to do?

"Well, you were going to comfort the Seven Seas with this cake, weren't you? Yangxin, give your share to the Seven Seas and eat every cake... Yake!!"

I was Mutsuko, who grabbed my fist and said it as lightly as I could get out of the way... I didn't miss that fist trembling just a little bit.

Apparently, Mutsuko was also horrified by this development. Neither do I. Even I don't know what would have happened if the Seven Seas had rejected me today...

"Both of you, look, sit down and sit down. Shall we eat together? The cake here is delicious. The price is good for that, but the deliciousness is satisfactory."

A luxurious and delicious looking cake with plenty of strawberries in a tea that smells good......

While I feel happy with the fact that we can eat this together, I go to the table next door to the Seven Seas.

Mutsuko, who saw that, smiled too... the three of them were all at the table.

"I'll have it."

"Here you go"

"Yes, eat it"

That way, while I feel happy to be able to greet you as usual with my hands together... I first make tea and Nanakai stabs a fork in the cake.

Nature and heart are relieved by the good aroma of tea. I feel calm as I feel like everything today that was so thrilling is going to pay off with this.

And just containing a bite of tea......

"So, did you kiss him?

Suddenly I got stuck with a hell of a question.

I manage to withstand the fact that I'm about to blow out tea, but I cough up (...) and (...) the next seven seas drop the cake that was on the fork onto the plate with pollen.

"Yangxin?! Are you okay?!"

"Oh, well, you better not be patient then. Never mind the cough or anything, I cough a lot."

"Because your mother says weird things, right?!"

Qihai raises a protest against Mutsuko as he rubs my back, coughing. Take a look at it sideways...... its face was as bright red as the strawberries on the cake.

"Look, I've seen you both do about chew on your cheeks, but I never saw you kiss... did you do about today? What?"

Mutsuko begins to explain, as if he were in a rare hurry... Apparently, Mutsuko has a "chew" on his cheek and a "kiss" on his lips.

No, you're not. Not if you're analyzing it calmly like that...

Were they watching me?! Where I'm chewing on my cheek?! Um? I thought we only did it when we were two......

You noticed that, the Seven Seas were also looking down with their faces bright red. He still caresses my back with his hands...

"... Mutsuko, Nanakai and I are today... confessing again to each other... I will restart the book (...) with our (...) love (...) people (...) and (...)"

Having calmed down just a little bit, I declare to Makoto again by correcting my posture.

Me and Seven Seas are lovers.

"I love the Seven Seas... Even if her confession was a punitive game, that's what I'm telling you."

There is a little embarrassment in what I say to her mother, but I declare to Mutsuko.

By the way, I'm pretending to be calm, but my hands under the table were shaking... and the Seven Seas softly layered my hands on those hands.

"... yes. Thanks...... Yang Xin... And... sorry."

In response, Mutsuko quietly lowered her head and said something of an apology.

"I've already received an apology from Seven Seas, so I don't have to ask Mutsuko to apologize..."

"Yeah, it's not. This is an apology from me...... I'm so, so sorry, Yang Xin. To the goodness of your people... imitate me like I'm gonna follow you."

True the opposite of Mutsuko, who was so bright and kept smiling earlier...... There was a look on Mutsuko's face that I had never seen before.

It's like I regret it... but it's like I'm horny... it's such a complicated, ill-lingualized look. That was like the first look the Seven Seas had ever seen.

As it is, me and Nanakai quietly listen to Mako's monologue.

"If it were... I'm sure... as a parent, I really think I should have stopped that relationship at the stage where I heard that Seven Seas had confessed to a punitive game. I'm sure it was the right thing to do."

Mutsuko puts just a little sugar in the tea as it is. Just a little... if that's all, add enough sugar to keep the flavor the same, and stir the tea as it is.

"I knew it with my head. That's right... but... Seems so dear...... cute...... look at the Seven Seas talking about you Yangshin... I forgot to scold you"

Mutsuko stirs the tea. The hand won't stop. I'm still getting warm hot air, but it'll cool off as it is... but my hands won't stop.

"I can't believe the seven seas that I didn't like boys gave me that look... I can't say anything anymore. Instead, I burned it... and asked Hatsumi and Walker what was going on... so Yangshin could hang out with the Seven Seas... and he was moving so he could keep dating."

The hand that was stirring the tea stops. And... there were tears in Mutsuko's eyes when he raised his face.

"I might have disillusioned you...... But... I'm sorry, Yang Xin. And... thanks. Forgive me the Seven Seas."

Mutsuko's tears... I breathe in those tears for the first time I've ever seen them. The seven seas next door also have tears in their eyes...... That's why I tell Mutsuko what I didn't intend to say.

"Mutsuko... this... I wasn't going to tell Mutsuko... I knew I was confessing to a punitive game."

"... Huh?

"Well, it's a complete coincidence...... will you listen?

And I... I will explain to Makoto the explanation that I gave to Nanakai, to Aurora Fukai, and to Kamienei Might.

She kept her mouth open when she heard me explain. [M] Today is a good day to apologize... and it is a day to see many unexpected expressions.

"... That's how the Seven Seas and I forgive each other. So don't worry about Mutsuko anymore."

Look at Mutsuko as he remains a pocan...... I drink tea again.

It's just a little chilled tea, but it keeps talking and dries up just fine for my throat... I drank it up gooey.

Mutsuko returns to me just a little while with her mouth open... and speaks out to squeeze it out.

"... I know it's a punishment game... and you were in such a lovely state...? Really? It's too unexpected for a boulder."

... Apparently, I was more surprised by what I knew and did than by what I knew about the confession of the punishment game.

Um... is that so surprising?

"... we were in such a lovely state? I thought it was normal."

"No, because it's not normal at all. Yeah...... because it's enough for me and your father to guess by accident.... so I was wondering if Yangxin didn't know..."

"The Seven Seas... what did you think? Um... not now... didn't you?

"I didn't hate it at all.... I didn't know the couple in the world well either, so I was doing everything I could... wasn't normal?

Mutsuko smiled at us like a little bit... but he finally smiled at me.

"I don't know... you guys seem much better off as it is. Keep up the good work... you two get along. Again I will bless you too...... And again...... I'm sorry"

"I don't have to apologize anymore. Because we're going to have a long relationship. This is the end of the topic."

"I just want to scratch that's not normal high school dialogue...... But yeah...... thanks. Yangshin will be back tonight after your parents' business trip, and both of you celebrate, party. I'll wave my arms, too."

Then, Mutsuko put back the cold tea... and we had a little pre-celebration for the three of us.

And finally... Mutsuko drops the bomb.

"Next year when this happens... will I be seeing my grandson's face? I wonder if you still want to be a grandma, me on a boulder...?

"Because I can't see!! What the hell does your mother want to do by burning her daughter!?"

"Oh? That's what the Seven Seas do with Yangshin... don't you want to?

"If you don't want to... then... you might want to... what are you making me say!! Because we just kissed!!"

"Oh, I knew you kissed me. Ugh, yeah... Finally, the Seven Seas went through their first kiss too."

"Ha... you framed me, Mother?!"

Mutsuko was Mutsuko after all......

I had a bitter smile and one quietly chewed up the happiness of seeing this exchange.

... No, not if you're chewing it up. We need to get a help boat out to the Seven Seas.

Ahhh... make your face so bright red...

Really, my girlfriend is a cute guy.
