Chapter 62: 62
Qingpu Mai entered the house, closed the door gently, held the bag in her hand, and moved closer to Kento, opening her arms and hugging Kento in front of her.
Kento woke up feeling a little tired, but he didn't have any special thoughts. Looking at Qingura Mai who appeared in his room, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It's early morning now."
"But there's not much time on weekdays, right?"
Qingpu Mai looked at Kento in front of her, put the bag on the table, took out the underwear inside, and then reached out to unbutton her clothes, leaving Kento speechless for a moment, sitting quietly on the edge of the bed and looking at her...
"What is the relationship between that woman and you?"
"She's just a classmate's mother."
Gritting his teeth, Kento took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"I... uh... don't believe it."
After nearly an hour of "interrogation", Qingpu Mai got nothing from Kento, but left Kento's apartment satisfied, leaving Kento lying on the bed alone with a numb face.
Staring blankly at the ceiling above his head, he closed his eyes silently, and fell asleep again unknowingly...
In the early morning, it was drizzling outside. Such weather always made people reluctant to get up, especially in the early hours of last night when he was "tortured" by someone. Kento opened his eyes, sat up, felt exhausted, and walked silently to the bathroom.
After washing up, I returned to the living room and prepared breakfast for myself. After finishing my breakfast quietly, I looked back at my bed. In such weather, it probably wouldn't dry out, so I quietly cleaned up the trash can.
As he walked out of his apartment in his school uniform, he held the garbage bag in his hand and threw it to the designated place. He glanced at Qingpu's house and then walked slowly towards the school.
After entering the classroom, he placed the umbrella at the back of the classroom and hung it aside. Not long after he sat down in his seat, Eriri also came to the classroom. After entering the classroom, the blonde girl looked around the classroom and her eyes fell on Kento.
After putting down his schoolbag, he walked to Kento under the gaze of others, knocked on his desk, hooked his finger at him, and turned to leave the classroom.
"...."
Kento sighed helplessly, rubbed his eyebrows with his hand, then walked out of the classroom slowly. He followed Eriri to the outside of the classroom and found a secluded corner. Eriri looked around and confirmed that there was no one around before her eyes fell on Kento.
"Have you met your mother?"
"I saw it by accident."
"What's going on?"
Ying Lili frowned. Yesterday she was asking how to deal with the relationship with Sayuri, but in the blink of an eye, Kento who said he would not meet Sayuri, bumped into Sayuri?
"I wasn't paying attention when I was walking home. When I was at the corner of the street, I bumped into Sayuri who was walking nearby. I didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence. Is this Murphy's Law?"
"What Murphy's Law? You look a little pale. Didn't you get enough rest last night?"
Looking at the drizzle outside the window, Kento slowly turned around and looked at the girl in front of him.
"The more you realize something bad is going to happen and don't want it to happen, the easier it is to happen. There is always a chance that something bad will happen, no matter how small that chance is."
After a pause, Kento's gaze fell on Eriri. His tiredness made his consciousness a little slow, but he still realized one thing.
"Sayuri told you about this encounter with me?"
"Well, I think I met you yesterday, and then I mentioned this to you after I got home."

It might be because of the cold. I can't have any chilly dreams. Instead, I wake up in the middle of the night feeling uncomfortable.
I owe you one more chapter for now, I'll make it up soon

Cherry Blossom Season: 100. Sayuri, I am doing something greedy right now
"But she hasn't completely remembered her memories of you yet. As long as we don't meet again in the future, there will definitely be no problem."
Some things briefly flashed through Eriri's mind. Looking at Kento in front of her, Eriri spoke slowly, which made Kento smile helplessly and his eyes fell on Eriri.
He wanted to avoid Sayuri, but now Sayuri already knew where he lived, so how could he avoid her?
"I would like to, but now she knows where I live, how can I avoid her?"
"move place."
"...I can't afford the cost of moving by myself. I just arrived in Tokyo not long ago and I don't have any reason to move."
After taking a look at Eriri, the decisiveness and neatness of the word "move" made Kento wonder for a moment whether the other party had already thought of this matter a long time ago and was testing him to move away from the vicinity of Qingura's house.
"I still have some savings."
"...."
Without any hesitation, Eriri was even ready to take out her own savings to help him move. This attitude left Kento speechless for a moment. He stared at Eriri silently for a while and sighed slowly.
"Moving is impossible, so don't expect me to move."
"Then aren't you worried about running into your mother every day living there? If she sees you and your girlfriend and it irritates her and makes her remember something, what do you think..."
She didn't finish her words, but Eriri felt that Kento could understand what she meant, so she left it for him to imagine. She was afraid that Kento himself knew very well what would happen once Sayuri regained her memory.
In the best case scenario, I would pretend nothing happened, return home, and never meet or contact Kento again, but in the worst case scenario...
Staring at Kento in front of her and looking at the conflicted and embarrassed expression on his face, Eriri slowly took a step forward, came in front of Kento, stretched out her hand, and placed it on his face.
Feeling the slightly cool palm on his cheek, Kento stepped back slightly.
"There are other ways."
Looking at Kento who dodged her palm, Eriri had some regret in her eyes.
"What?"
"Just tell mom clearly that you and I can continue dating."
".....You are kidding me."
"Just make her think so. Even if she recovers her memory, she won't come looking for you again if I'm there to stand in her way."
The feasibility is very high, but looking at Eriri in front of him, Kento's eyes became a little complicated. He was silent for a moment, and did not agree with Eriri's idea. He looked at Eriri quietly for a while, then slowly left and returned to the classroom.
Looking at Kento's leaving back, Eriri pursed her lips, then slowly relaxed them. After watching Kento's figure disappear, she slowly followed him back to the classroom.
"What is the relationship between you and Sawamura? I always feel that there is something unusual about the relationship between you two."
Sakamoto Yuji looked at Kento.
At noon, Kento, who rarely sat down to eat with two men, had just opened the bread he bought when Sakamoto Yuji started asking about him and Eriri.
Yuji Sakamoto was not the only one who was curious about this matter. Akihisa Yoshii at the side was also looking at Kento with a subtle look. Many people in the class wanted to know about this matter. They didn't know whether Kento was dating Eriri Sawamura or Ichika Nakano.
"It's just that what happened back then made me and her more familiar with each other, just like two neighbors who just moved in together, that kind of relationship."
"That's a rather subtle description, but I kind of understand it. So you and Sawamura are not dating?"
His eyes fell on Kento and Sakamoto Yuji was a little surprised, as he had thought he was already dating Eriri.
"No."
"What about Nakano-san? What's the relationship between Nakano-san and you, Kento? Are they neighbors?"
Yoshii Akihisa stared at Kento in front of him while chewing the bread in his hand. He did not prepare a lunch box today as he got up a little late and had no time to prepare one. He could only eat bread at the school canteen as his lunch.
In the class, he is almost conjoined with Sakamoto Yuji, and usually only has a good relationship with Kinoshita Hideyoshi. He doesn't have any particularly good relationships with other girls. So when it comes to Kento, who often acts together with the cute girls in the class, he always feels sour as if a lemon was stuffed in his mouth.
"No, just friends."
"Friends you're dating?"
"No relationship, just friends."
Staring at Kento suspiciously, Yoshii Akihisa didn't quite understand what was going on. He just looked at Kento's seemingly serious expression and silently ate his bread. By the way, he chatted with Sakamoto Yuji about games, and the topic gradually turned to a serious direction.
By the afternoon, nothing special happened. Kento sat quietly in the classroom and finished a whole day of classes peacefully. He wanted to go home early to rest.
Even though the boy's body was full of energy, after being "tortured" so much in the early morning, and now in the daytime, after a full day of classes, he couldn't help feeling a little tired, and just wanted to go home and rest early.
Just as they left the classroom and arrived at the school gate, a figure suddenly appeared beside Kento. Eriri followed him quietly, forcing Kento to turn his gaze to Eriri beside him.
"What's the matter?"
"No, I go home this way too."
Eriri glanced at Kento and gave an answer, which made Kento unable to refute for a moment. He walked forward quietly, and the blonde beauty followed him quietly.
As the two of them walked forward, some students from Fengzhizaki School who were returning home couldn't help but look at them sideways.
Although the school has only been opened for less than half a month, Eriri's iconic blonde hair has become the most dazzling scenery in Toyonotaki. She is a beautiful girl in herself, and with her special attribute of blonde hair, her name has been known throughout Toyonotaki.
Therefore, when someone saw her walking with a boy, people could not help but notice the existence of Kento.
Being stared at by others was not a particularly novel experience for Kento. He walked forward quietly, with Yinglili following beside him. After walking for a while and passing the commercial street, Kento turned around and walked into the commercial street.
"Um?"
Looking at Kento's reaction and actions, Yinglili paused for a moment, and silently followed Kento and entered the commercial street together.
"Aren't you going home? What are you doing following me into the commercial street?"
"You can come, but I can't?"
Faced with Eriri who was still being stubborn, Kento was helpless. He glanced at her and quietly started shopping in the commercial street. He bought some ingredients, and Eriri quietly followed him.
"Hey, Kento, are you here to buy vegetables again today? Um, the person next to you is your girlfriend? What a lovely girl, here, these are for you and your little girlfriend."
"Oh, you already have a girlfriend? You are truly Kento. You must treat such a lovely girlfriend well."
"You already have a young wife? It's great to be young."
When they were buying food ingredients on the commercial street and talking with familiar shop owners, they were quite surprised by Eriri standing beside them. After looking at Kento, they felt it was natural.
They enthusiastically promoted their products to Kento, and some people even gave some of their products to Kento and Eriri for free so that the two could try and taste them.
"You know a lot of people here."
Eriri tasted Taiyaki in her hand, and her eyes fell on Kento beside her, feeling a little surprised.
If she remembered correctly, Kento came here only at the end of last month. In such a short period of time, has his relationship with the shop owners in these commercial streets become so good?
"Well, because I come here often to restock ingredients, I am familiar with most of the shop owners here."
"I see."
Eriri followed Kento quietly, left the commercial street, and prepared to go home. At this time, Eriri should have parted ways with Kento, but to Kento's surprise, the girl still followed Kento even after they passed the intersection.
Kento, who was walking in front, looked back at Eriri beside him and felt that he still had to remind her.
"Isn't this the way home for you?"
"Um."
"So, shouldn't you turn around and take your way home?"
"I don't have any plans to go home for now. I'm just going to check and see if my mother is near your apartment. If she sees me, I'll take her back."
"...."
It was a good reason, so Kento closed his mouth and walked forward quietly, while Eriri followed quietly beside him. The two continued to walk forward side by side, but after walking for a while, Kento stopped first.
"How..."
Following Kento, Eriri, who was thinking about something, was about to ask Kento why he stopped, but when she looked forward, she noticed the familiar figure. She pursed her lips immediately and knew why Kento stopped.
Maybe it was telepathy between mother and daughter, or maybe it was simply because she heard some noise, but Sayuri, who was standing not far ahead, turned around and saw the familiar boy and her daughter standing together.
"Eri? And...Miyamizu-kun?"
She knew it, but when she actually saw her mother appear near Kento's apartment, Eriri couldn't help but feel bad.
It was like the complicated feeling of suddenly finding out that everyone knew the correct answer when she was the only one who knew it. Eriri couldn't help but take two steps forward, came in front of Sayuri, frowned, and looked at her mother.
"Why are you here?"
"Because Eriri is at school, Mom is lonely at home alone, so I came out for a walk. What's wrong?"
"....."
It's fine to use taking a walk as an excuse, but what's the matter with taking a walk to Kento every time?
Ying Lili really wanted to ask her mother, but she was worried that asking would upset her mother and remind her of the past.
"Eri, why are you with Miyamizu-kun? Are you...dating?"
