After breakfast, Tanaka Masao left the Yotsuya residence.
Yotsuya Touko looked at Yotsuya Miko, who was standing at the door, appearing reluctant to see Tanaka Masao leave, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"This is what they call being inseparable, intimate, deeply in love, and becoming one—tasting the forbidden fruit is truly addictive and hard to resist.
However, this passion is only at the beginning; it will calm down after some time."
Yotsuya Miko's reluctance to part with Tanaka Masao was not what Yotsuya Touko had imagined.
She was afraid that, as he said, new evil spirits would come to their home.
And not just at home, there were many dangerous evil spirits in other places too.
"If only Tanaka could always protect me closely."
The Campus Belle's Personal Otaku.
Hmm, the name sounds a bit strange, like I've seen it somewhere before... Meanwhile, in the Goto residence, also in Tokyo.
Today, the Goto residence was especially lively because Goto Hitori, who had always been alone and friendless, had actually invited a friend over.
This shocked the entire family.
"So, Hitori really did make a friend."
The Goto family was extremely excited about this, enthusiastically preparing all sorts of things to welcome the guest.
And even more excited and enthusiastic than them was Goto Hitori herself.
She was wearing a white suit, acquired from who knows where, and large, colorful, star-shaped glasses on her face.
She looked exactly like a comical hip-hop artist.
Regarding Goto Hitori's peculiar attire, her family found it utterly baffling.
Especially Goto Hitori's mother, Goto Michiyo; she couldn't understand.
Why, despite her buying Goto Hitori so many cute and beautiful clothes, she wouldn't wear any of them, insisting on wearing such strange outfits.
Also, where did Goto Hitori get these strange clothes? She didn't remember buying any of these peculiar outfits for her.
In terms of aesthetics, Goto Michiyo really doubted if Goto Hitori was her biological daughter.
However, seeing that Goto Hitori was as beautiful as herself, this question didn't need to be dwelled upon.
Ultimately, it could only be concluded as a genetic mutation in personality.
At this moment, Goto Hitori took out a rolled-up banner and came to the living room, saying,
"Dad, help me hang this up."
Goto Naoki scratched his head, asking somewhat confusedly,
"Where do you want to hang this?"
"Outside, in the most conspicuous spot, of course."
Goto Hitori pointed outside, stating matter-of-factly.
Goto Naoki felt a bit helpless; sometimes he really couldn't figure out if his daughter was genuinely socially anxious or just pretending.
If you say she's not socially anxious, she has no friends, dares not speak to strangers, and often twists and deforms due to extreme nervousness.
But if you say she is socially anxious, she can nonchalantly and matter-of-factly do things that ordinary people couldn't even imagine.
Goto Naoki gave an awkward laugh and tried to say to Goto Hitori,
"Hitori, normal friends coming over don't require hanging banners."
Goto Hitori tilted her head, asking somewhat confusedly,
"Why?"
"Uh, shouldn't friends be relaxed with each other? You're being a bit too grand, it might make the other person feel pressured."
Upon hearing this, Goto Hitori thought for a moment. If she were welcomed so grandly...
she would definitely feel incredibly excited and happy.
Well, in Goto Hitori's fantasy, she was very impressive, but in reality, she would chicken out faster than anyone.
Nevertheless, Goto Hitori chose to respect her father's suggestion and put the banner away.
This meant her family didn't see the content written on the banner.
"A warm welcome to Tanaka at our home."
Many hearts were also drawn next to it, filling the entire banner.
It was a pity that her family wouldn't see such a beautiful banner.
Goto Hitori put the banner away, but she didn't stop; instead, she returned to her room to continue decorating.
Watching the excited Goto Hitori, Goto Naoki and Goto Michiyo both sighed helplessly.
However, they didn't stop her, as Goto Hitori had never shown such excitement before.
Goto Nili asked curiously,
"Dad, Mom, is it really okay to indulge Big Sister like this? Won't it scare Big Sister's friend?"
Goto Michiyo gently stroked Goto Nili's head and said with a smile,
"If it were a normal person, we would definitely stop her, but anyone willing to be friends with Hitori must be a very gentle person, and they will surely understand and accept Hitori."
Just as the family was talking, the doorbell of the Goto residence rang.
"Ah, it must be Hitori's friend. I'll get the door."
Goto Michiyo immediately went to open the door, wanting to see what Goto Hitori's legendary friend looked like.
"I want to go too."
Goto Nili also followed closely behind.
Although Goto Naoki didn't say a word, he also followed.
Footsteps could be heard coming down from upstairs; clearly, Goto Hitori, who had heard the commotion, also ran down.
Goto Michiyo opened the door and looked outside, seeing a somewhat plump boy wearing glasses standing there, with a slight smile on his face.
"So, it's not Hitori's friend? I got my hopes up for nothing."
In her subconscious, Goto Hitori's friend would definitely be a girl, so she didn't connect the ordinary-looking boy in front of her with the identity of Goto Hitori's friend.
Goto Michiyo asked curiously,
"Sir, may I ask who you are?"
Tanaka Masao looked at the mature woman who resembled Goto Hitori, with her hair in a bun, and showed his characteristic gentle smile.
"Hello, Big Sister, I am Bocchi... Hitori's friend, Tanaka Masao. I was invited here today as a guest. Please accept this small gift."
As he spoke, he handed over the gift he had brought.
These were fruits he bought on the way here. He wasn't sure what gift to bring in Japan, so choosing fruits was definitely a safe bet.
Because families of all conditions need to eat fruit, it's just a matter of variety and quality.
Although fruits are relatively expensive in Japan, as a gift, the price is just right; it doesn't seem perfunctory, makes people feel you put thought into it, and won't feel inappropriate.
Tanaka Masao considered it the optimal solution for a home visit.
Tanaka Masao's words and manners were impeccable. As a daughter's friend visiting, no parent dislikes a polite, well-behaved child as a first impression.
However, the first impression Tanaka Masao left on the Goto family was not that of a polite, well-behaved child, but rather... "A boy!"
"An otaku!"
These two words had quite an impact on them. They couldn't understand why their daughter would get involved with someone like this.
Having this kind of person as her first friend was practically a hellish start.
Of course, this hell was not for Goto Hitori, but for them.
