Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, evening arrived.
The last ray of sunset also disappeared into the distant horizon, and the sky gradually darkened.
Tomorrow was the start of a short holiday. One could tell that the students were all in high spirits during dismissal. Quite a few students had even made preparations to stay up all night. After all, a holiday without pulling an all-nighter, what's the difference from not having a holiday at all?
There were also some rare couples scattered in twos and threes, planning to go shopping on a date, and do the things they loved to do.
Yumiko Miura had originally planned the same. After resting for a few days, the weather cleared, the rain stopped, and she felt that she had recovered.
This wasn't arrogance. In fact, after that night, Yumiko did feel that her body seemed to be gradually changing.
For example, her stamina was stronger, her strength greater, and her spirit more energetic. Even staying up until two or three in the morning didn't make her feel sleepy, and even if she only slept three to four hours a day, she still felt full of energy.
Even her friends said her skin had improved a lot recently, smooth like a freshly peeled egg. They were even curious about what kind of cosmetics she had been using to get such remarkable results.
Of course, she hadn't used any cosmetics. Though she had eaten quite a bit of protein.
Although Yumiko didn't understand where this change was coming from, she could more or less guess it had something to do with Kaito.
So she really wanted to verify it personally again.
Mm, this was done in the spirit of serious scientific research—no investigation, no right to speak.
Unfortunately, tonight Kaito had already agreed to Ms. Nagasaki's invitation to visit her home as a guest.
Yumiko felt a bit regretful, but a qualified girlfriend certainly couldn't hold her lover back in his career. Besides, even if she missed tonight, there would be plenty of opportunities during the Golden Week trip.
The appointment with Ms. Nagasaki was set for seven o'clock in the evening. She would send a private car for pickup, so there was no need for him to trouble himself.
The current time was six in the evening, an hour away from the scheduled appointment.
After returning home, Kaito first went into the bathroom to take a bath. After coming out, unlike usual, he didn't lie on the couch playing games with the fat cat.
Instead, he entered the bedroom and took off his uniform, changing into a new set of casual clothes.
On top, he wore a white hooded long-sleeve hoodie, with a cute blue cat pattern in the center. On the bottom, a pair of light gray loose straight pants. A very refreshing outfit, like the male lead of a k-drama.
Kirara even tried to sneakily follow behind him, trying to sneak into the bedroom stealthily, not planning to avoid even when he changed clothes. She stared wide-eyed with an innocent look, trying to get by with cuteness.
Unfortunately, she was still grabbed by the scruff of her fate's neck by Kaito and thrown cold-faced outside the door.
After he finished changing and walked out of the room, he just happened to receive a new message on his phone.
[Nagasaki Asuna: Kaito-kun, is it convenient to leave now? I've already arrived~]
Ms. Nagasaki's vehicle was a very low-profile black Maybach.
To show respect, and partly out of personal intention, she didn't call a driver to do it. Instead, she personally came to pick him up.
Thinking of that handsome face like something out of a dream, Nagasaki Asuna became a little absent-minded.
Due to her status and position, she was never lacking so-called 'pretty boys' around her.
Some were brought by business partners for entertainment, others came to her on their own, not wanting to work hard, so they volunteered themselves.
But she had rejected all of them.
Despite being divorced for many years, she had always remained clean and self-disciplined, wanting to leave all her love for her daughter, Soyo.
However, she always had one worry.
Soyo was a good child. Beautiful, gentle, obedient, and sensible.
Despite her young age, she was not only skilled at cooking but also very good at taking care of people.
But such a perfect Soyo wasn't without weaknesses.
Since junior high, she had been attending an all-girls school. One couldn't say her contact with boys of the same age was zero, but it could only be described as… barely existent.
Worrying about her child's marriage was the natural instinct of every mother.
'Nowadays, boys are already few, and excellent boys are even more rare!'
Now, she had finally encountered a peerlessly beautiful boy with flawless looks who also possessed mysterious magical abilities. His desirability went without saying.
Not stepping in personally was already an expression of her deep motherly love for Soyo.
She could give the best to Soyo, but other women wouldn't be so kind.
'But it doesn't matter!'
'You and I, mother and daughter united, what rival can stand in our way?'
'Soyo, don't worry!'
'Mom will help you win over your husband!'
'Starting with tonight's invitation!'

Tonight's destination was the tower of Roppongi Hills Residence Building B.
Compared to domestic tycoons' preference for rock gardens and courtyards, many wealthy people in Tokyo preferred high-rise towers.
High floors offered good views, which was one reason. The strong earthquake resistance was another. Add to that the excellent location, close to hospitals, schools, convenient transportation, and daily life. Along with 24/7 security, swimming pools, gyms, libraries, and all sorts of facilities.
There were many advantages, and only one disadvantage: expensive.
Kaito had casually checked online. Two years ago, there had been a sale record here. 41st floor, 120 square meters, with a final transaction price of 988 million yen.
Standing downstairs, looking up, the towering building seemed to pierce the clouds. Indeed, it gave a majestic and magnificent feeling.
Though it couldn't compare to the Cloud Mist Immortal Palace of the Courting Death Sect, it was another kind of beauty belonging to modern society.
Ms. Nagasaki parked the car skillfully and was about to take Kaito upstairs when she suddenly remembered something and apologized, "Sorry, I forgot to buy something. Kaito-kun, can you go up first? It's the 42nd floor. I've already spoken with Soyo, just ring the doorbell directly."
Kaito nodded slightly and agreed.

[The Nagasaki home]
'This is kind of troublesome…'
Thinking of her mother, who was rarely home, today not only skipping the company but even personally driving to pick someone up, with an impatient look on her face.
The brown-haired girl absentmindedly twirled a lock of hair near her ear, her beautiful brows slightly furrowed.
As a child from a single-parent household, it was her mother who had raised her.
The hardships and efforts over the years, Nagasaki Soyo had seen them all, so she had always been an obedient and well-behaved child.
If her mother had truly rekindled hope for love and wanted to marry a man she liked, though a bit uncomfortable, Soyo wouldn't object. She'd try her best to accept the new family member.
Because her mother had the right to pursue happiness.
But…
Judging by her mother's behavior now, she was clearly deeply infatuated.
Having learned from her mother's divorce when she was a child, Nagasaki Soyo couldn't help but plan ahead.
If the uncle arriving later turned out to be a good person, then fine. No need for great talent, just don't let her mom down.
But if he turned out to be a scumbag who toyed with women's feelings, or worse, if he was only with her mom because he was after her wealth.
