"Eri, are you alright?"
Sitting at the dining table, Sayuri Sawamura looked at her daughter Eriri with some concern.
After she came downstairs, Eriri stayed upstairs doing something for a long time before finally coming down.
Moreover, Sayuri Sawamura frowned slightly as she looked at the spilled food around Eriri's bowl.
The girl was clearly in a daze, her eyes were blank and confused, and for some reason, a strange smile was always on her lips, and she would occasionally let out a strange laugh.
Sawamura Sayuri carefully examined her daughter, and finally nodded slightly. Eriri's current state was simply that of a pervert.
Has something happened that she doesn't know about?
Sawamura Sayuri lowered her head and thought for a moment, but found no signs that anyone had been to her house, and judging from Eriri's attire, she obviously hadn't gone out.
So, what exactly happened?
Sawamura Sayuri reached out and gently tapped on the table in front of Eriri.
"Eri, what are you daydreaming about?"
"ah!"
The crisp tapping sound finally brought Eriri back to her senses.
With her gaze regaining focus, she looked at Sayuri Sawamura sitting opposite her.
"Mom, nothing's wrong."
Eriri quickly smiled at Sayuri Sawamura, then lowered her head to eat.
However, looking at Eriri's appearance, Sayuri Sawamura's eyes revealed a hint of suspicion.
She felt that her daughter must be hiding something from her.
"Eri, are you hiding something from your mother?"
Sawamura Sayuri put down her chopsticks, her purple eyes fixed intently on Eriri.
Under her intense gaze, Eriri's face showed an unnatural expression.
The adorable Eriri has never been good at hiding her inner emotions.
That's why she was always suppressed by Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Her large, sky-blue eyes darted around, and she didn't dare to meet her mother Sawamura Sayuri's gaze.
No, no!
The girl stubbornly replied, unaware that her reaction only made Sayuri Sawamura more certain that her daughter was indeed hiding something from her.
"Oh dear! Mom, please don't ask anymore."
But what exactly is it?
Sayuri Sawamura glanced at her stubborn daughter and knew she probably wouldn't find out.
Eriri lowered her head and ate her food quickly, clearly not wanting Sawamura Sayuri to continue questioning her.
Sawamura Sayuri had no choice but to give up. After finishing lunch and chores, she picked up her bag again and prepared to leave.
"Mom, are you going to the store?"
Seeing Sayuri Sawamura's behavior, Eriri, who was lying lazily on the sofa, curiously got up.
"Yes, that's right."
Sawamura Sayuri walked to the shoe cabinet by the entrance, took out the cute round-toed leather shoes she had worn before, and answered Eriri's question.
"I want to go too!"
Eriri, as Sayuri Sawamura's idol project LoveLive, naturally watched it as soon as it was released.
Cute girls, catchy songs, anime, games, manga, light novels, and even live concerts—just hearing this list tells you how big this project is.
Eriri bit her lip, feeling a little unhappy.
This plan was actually written by her mother for the girl named Minami Kotori who worked in her shop.
Eriri felt she had never received such special, even lavish, treatment, which made her even more dissatisfied.
Noticing the expression on her daughter's face, Sayuri Sawamura was slightly taken aback, and then she remembered the scene yesterday when her daughter was unhappy after she finished that project.
"Eri, are you jealous of Kotori-chan?"
"Hmph! Why would I be jealous of that guy!"
Eriri crossed her arms and turned her head away, looking utterly disdainful.
"She only has slightly bigger breasts than me, a smaller waist, and a less shapely butt!"
Hearing her daughter's defiant words, and even the way she started comparing herself to her daughter in the latter half, Sayuri Sawamura couldn't help but laugh.
Wearing cute round-toed leather shoes, her shapely and straight legs were encased in pure white stockings, followed by a pleated skirt that just reached her knees, and a cute white shirt.
Sawamura Sayuri, dressed in a very cute and innocent style, stood in the entryway, gently covering her mouth with her other hand while carrying a small Milanese-colored leather bag in one hand. She was chuckling softly.
That crisp laughter, that adorable style, that delicate little face—it made Eriri's heart skip a beat as she looked in the direction of the laughter.
"But Eriri, Mommy likes girls with fuller breasts. Look at Kotori-chan, she's cute, has a pretty good figure, and is so gentle."
Eriri, who was still infatuated with her mother's beauty, was stunned when she heard Sayuri Sawamura say that. She stood there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.
Her cute little mouth was slightly open, and her big, sky-blue eyes stared blankly at Sayuri Sawamura.
The girl never expected her mother to suddenly say something like that.
She always believed that in her mother's heart, she was the cutest, her mother's favorite.
But unexpectedly, that girl named Minami Kotori had already stolen her mother's affection for her.
The large, sky-blue eyes suddenly became misty, a thin layer of water quickly covering the originally bright pupils.
Eriri may appear strong in front of others, but in front of her mother, the grievances and sorrow in her heart suddenly burst forth.
This left Sayuri Sawamura completely stunned; she had only wanted to tease her daughter a little.
But looking at Eriri standing there, her little mouth pursed in sadness, her big eyes misty and glistening with tears.
Sawamura Sayuri panicked and hurriedly walked up to Eriri, gently putting her arm around Eriri's shoulder.
"Eri, Mom was just joking with you."
Sawamura Sayuri's words were like a blessing to Eriri, who was so sad she was about to cry.
Her body trembled slightly, and she asked in a hoarse voice.
Is it true?
"Of course it's true, Eriri, you've always been Mom's favorite and cutest daughter."
Sawamura Sayuri released her arm from Eriri's shoulder, took a step back, and then chuckled as she cupped Eriri's face in her hands.
"Mom, can you skip the coffee shop and give up on that idol project?"
"That's it..."
Eriri pouted again. Sure enough, that vixen named Minami Kotori had successfully stolen her mother's heart!
