"Erina, what did you just say?"
Looking at Erina Nakiri, who was full of embarrassment, Satou was a little puzzled.
"Eh… Eh?!"
Erina Nakiri then realized she had said the wrong thing. She was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into; it was simply too embarrassing.
At noon, Leonora Nakiri invited Satou and Erina Nakiri over for lunch again.
"Oh, you're here? Please come in quickly."
Today, Leonora Nakiri was wearing a pink and white long dress, revealing her elegant, fair and tender calves. Her hairstyle had changed again; her silver long hair was braided into several small pigtails and draped over her shoulders. Unlike the mature style of last time, she exuded a charming girlish cuteness.
This made Satou a little speechless. Hadn't his Mother-in-law wanted to leave a long time ago? She said she would leave before the School Festival, but she ended up staying at his restaurant for five days. Then, after the School Festival, she was supposed to leave, and they even had a farewell dinner, but today she invited them to eat again.
"Aunt said the grapes and candy were delicious last time, so I brought some more this time."
Satou said, he bought three more bunches of diamond grapes this morning.
"Satou is truly filial! He knows I like sweets."
Leonora Nakiri was both surprised and delighted. She quickly took them and gently kissed Satou's cheek.
Satou touched his somewhat moist cheek. Although he knew that kissing on the cheek was a common courtesy for foreigners, being kissed by such a young and beautiful Mother-in-law 033 still felt strange.
"Aunt, aren't you leaving soon?"
After the two of them sat down on the sofa, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, because the Sports Festival is coming soon, as a mother, I really want to see my daughter's youthful appearance, sweating on the field."
Leonora Nakiri said, stroking her cheek.
"Is it because there's more delicious food to eat again?"
Alice Nakiri, while eating grapes, mercilessly exposed her mother's true thoughts.
A rare blush appeared on Leonora Nakiri's face, but being able to eat many delicious things was indeed an important reason for her to stay here.
"But Alice, are you going to participate in the Sports Festival?"
Erina Nakiri couldn't help but ask.
"Well. It seems very interesting."
Alice Nakiri said enthusiastically, with candy in her mouth, one cheek puffed out, and a finger raised.
"My Alice has been full of vitality since she was little."
Leonora Nakiri also had several candies in her mouth, and her cheeks were puffed out.
The sight of the mother and daughter both with candy in their mouths looked very cute and amusing.
"She likes to cause trouble, right?"
Erina Nakiri muttered softly.
Satou also felt the same way; Alice Nakiri simply found it fun, just like during the School Festival.
"A cheerful and lively girl like me is much better than you, Erina, who knows nothing but cooking, has no social life, no entertainment, and whose life is a blank slate—a complete life idiot."
Alice Nakiri said indignantly.
"Damn it."
Erina Nakiri's forehead was full of black lines. "I have entertainment too, okay?"
"Oh? Erina-chan, do you have entertainment?"
Both mother and daughter looked at her with great curiosity.
Erina Nakiri: "…"
"Erina, do you even have entertainment?"
Alice Nakiri looked doubtful.
"Of course…I do."
Erina Nakiri said in a low voice, her face flushed. She did occasionally sneak a peek at romance manga.
Satou squinted at the Tsundere, feeling she was indeed a bit silly and cute.
"Satou, are you participating in the sports festival?"
Leonora Nakiri asked with anticipation.
"Hmm, we'll see about that," Satou said.
In the summer, he had already participated in Kanna's elementary school sports festival as a parent. Moreover, no matter what sport he participated in now, he could break records.
"Ryo-kun, you have to participate too," Alice Nakiri said, patting Ryo's shoulder.
"Ah, can I not participate?" Ryo asked weakly.
"No! You're my pet, aren't you? If your owner participates, of course, you have to too!" Alice Nakiri twisted his hair, huffing.
After they finished eating, in the evening, the two were invited to Polar Star Dormitory again.
Looking at everyone's liveliness, Erina Nakiri felt a little dazed. Unknowingly, she had made so many friends. She had never even imagined being invited to parties before.
"Erina, what are you thinking about?" Satou couldn't help but ask.
"Eh? Nothing," Erina Nakiri quickly whispered.
"Are you thinking about the sports festival?" Satou said, "If you want to participate, just do it. I think you'd look beautiful in sportswear."
"Eh? Satou, do you like me in sportswear?" Erina Nakiri's face flushed, and she asked shyly.
"What? Miss Erina is going to participate in the sports festival?"
The room instantly fell silent, everyone staring blankly at Erina Nakiri.
Ryoko Sakaki, who was pouring drinks for Yuki Yoshino, froze for a moment, letting the drink spill onto the floor.
"N-no, I'm not participating," Erina Nakiri immediately became flustered, her face crimson as she defended herself.
"That's true, Miss Erina probably doesn't do sports, right?" Yuki Yoshino thought for a moment and said.
"Who…who said that? I can ski, swim, and play golf," Erina Nakiri quickly said.
As an heir to an upper-class family, she had learned these aristocratic sports since childhood.
"They're all aristocratic sports, aren't they?" Yuki Yoshino mumbled.
"I have no interest in such commoner sports!" Erina Nakiri said with an arrogant tilt of her head.
"We've all signed up, you know," Yukihira Soma said with a grin.
"Yukihira-kun, what did you sign up for?" Satou asked.
"Shot put," Yukihira Soma said.
Everyone: "…"
Looking at his small physique, everyone really couldn't associate him with a sport like shot put.
"Megumi also signed up for the women's 100-meter sprint and the relay race, you know," Yuki Yoshino said with a giggle.
"Ah, mm." Tadokoro Megumi's face flushed, then she lowered her head, secretly glancing at Satou.
