After that, the group came to Shinjoka's apartment.

Although the client was not there because he was at school, Serizawa Yui, who was in charge of looking after the house, still opened the door for them smoothly.

Because of this, Motoyama Mina officially met the girl who was about to become her adopted daughter.

Basically, Kato Yusuke had explained everything and the background to her before.

So even if it was the first time they met, she didn't feel too strange.

on the contrary--

Although she had learned some information from Kato Yusuke, Serizawa Yuu was still extremely nervous.

Maybe you feel uneasy about your new family, or you feel some innate uneasiness when facing your elders.

So much so that when talking to Motoyama Mina, her stuttering was so bad that it made people want to laugh.

That blushing look is really endearing.

Especially when she called out "Yu-ge" one after another, Motoyama Mina finally couldn't help but burst into laughter after a brief moment of astonishment.

"Ah ha ha ha ha, this kid is really interesting, Xiao Yu."

Mina Motoyama put her hand on Kato Yusuke's shoulder and laughed for some reason, making the four people present a little confused.

But the next second, she herself told the answer.

"Uh-huh, hoo~Basically, except for the color of his hair and appearance, this kid is exactly the same as Xiaoyin. Even the way he clings to you, he's so cute~"

Kato Yusuke laughed awkwardly, his expression slightly distressed.

「

"Xiaoyin?""

Hui, Shiyu, and Xiao Xi all looked puzzled and curious at the same time.

Mina Motoyama did not hide any secrets about this, and told the old story openly and openly, without any intention of saving face for anyone.

「

"——Childhood sweetheart?""

After hearing this, the three women had different reactions.

"I see, I haven't heard anything from you Yusuke at all."

"Hey~? So Yuu-chan had a childhood sweetheart?"

"Hey...are there other girls also called Brother Yu...?"

Looking at the three pairs of beautiful eyes looking at each other, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"That was already an embarrassment in elementary school, so there's no need to make fun of it now, right?"

When the three girls heard this, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

However, the next second, Motoyama Mina sighed softly and began to talk to herself with some nostalgia.

"...I don't know how Xiaoyin and his family are doing now. Xiaoyu has become so famous now. If I can see you on TV, maybe I will write a letter back, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the relaxed and joyful atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, becoming inexplicably serious.

"Come to think of it, when it comes to clingy childhood sweethearts, there are usually those who come from the sky."

Shiyu crossed his arms and pinched his chin, analyzing it seriously.

"It's like she appears in the middle of the game, but her initial favorability is very high. Even if the target girl strategy fails, she will definitely confess her love..."

When she said this, she suddenly stopped, and then the temperature in her voice dropped sharply.

"That's nothing, it's really annoying! That kind of hidden relief heroine or something, just hide it until the end——!"

It was obvious that she had been talking to herself for a long time, but she turned her anger on Kato Yusuke, and just stretched out her hand to the client's cheek and rubbed it non-stop.

Seeing this, Hui glanced at them emotionlessly.

Serizawa Yu raised her small fist in front of her chest in agreement, and said with a sense of ownership:

"It's okay, Miss Kasumigaoka, I will take good care of Yu-nii as a family member from now on...!"

Before he finished speaking, Shiyu immediately retorted:

"——Having a clingy character like you do this kind of thing is not reassuring at all!"

"Wow!"

Ignoring Serizawa Yu's frightened reaction for a moment, she moved closer to him and pressed the girl's shoulders with both hands.

"Listen, your name is Xiao Xi, right? If you really want to make me feel at ease, remember to treat me as your sister?"

"Sister, sister...?"

"That's right~ I will love you in that case, so let's get familiar with you from now on. Call me sister~ sister~ and come and listen."

"Hey~~~?" Serizawa Yu shrank back in fear.

Megumi from behind seemed to casually complain: "Well~ Kasumigaoka-senpai must be talking about a different meaning of sister (brother marrying), right?"

Hearing this, Shiyu, who was originally so excited that he blushed, looked back in disgust.

"...Do you have any opinions? I don't care, Kato-san."

"No matter how much you tell Serizawa-san... until then, if you really want to talk about age, it should be your younger sister (sister-in-law), right?"

"...!"

Shiyu's expression suddenly froze.

If you think about it carefully, Serizawa Yui just said that she was 18 years old when she introduced herself.

In this situation where she is two years older than her, there seems to be no problem in calling her "sister".

Shiyu was unwilling and looked at Xiao Xi angrily.

"If that's the case, why do you keep calling me Brother Yu? You've led me astray, you idiot——!"

"Huh? Hmm, this, this..."

Serizawa Yu let out a nervous laugh: "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what Miss Kasumigaoka said about the heroine. Maybe I'm too stupid, hehehe..."

After hearing this explanation, Hui glanced at her.

"I clearly agreed with Kasumigaoka-senpai's words at first, but didn't you understand it at the time?"

After all, what Shiyu just said inadvertently were all otaku terms, which are indeed difficult for laymen to understand.

Take Motoyama Mina for example, she couldn't quite understand what Shiyu said.

Although she didn't understand it, it didn't stop her from feeling that the atmosphere was quite good, so she laughed happily.

"Ahaha, they seem to have become close~ right? Xiaoyu."

When his name was called, Kato Yusuke smiled bitterly and nodded, seemingly unable to agree.

Shiyu and Serizawa Yu looked at each other, and the latter showed a cute smile and nodded friendly.

In fact, Serizawa Yu was a little nervous when she first met the cold-faced Shiyu.

But after what happened just now, and the other party's true nature being revealed inadvertently, she felt less nervous.

Although I feel that Shiyu's character is a bit strange in my heart, the other party obviously has no ill intentions towards her, and she is also Kato Yusuke's girlfriend.

Under the influence of various factors, the initial sense of alienation suddenly disappeared a lot.

Serizawa Yuu unconsciously felt at ease and felt a little more close to her.

The most important thing is that in the presence of an elder like Motoyama Mina, no one will be ignorant and blatantly disagree.

After a brief interlude, everyone started chatting again.

Regarding the matter of adopting Xiao Xi, Motoyama Mina agreed without any surprise.

After the discussion was over, Kato Yusuke saw that it was approaching noon and suggested that they go out to eat together.

After searching through tabelog (Japanese food review website), several people selected a restaurant with good ratings.

In an alley five minutes' walk from Takadanobaba Station, they came to a restaurant called "RedRk".

Even though today is Tuesday, there is a queue outside the store.

Fortunately, because they arrived earlier, there were only a few people queuing in front.

There is a self-service ordering vending machine in front of the store for people to order while queuing.

"The signature of this restaurant is beef rice, but it seems they also have steak rice. What do you want to eat?" Yusuke Kato asked proactively.

Motoyama Mina: "Well, I don't understand very well. Xiaoyu, just watch and help me choose."

Serizawa Yu: "I want beef rice, Yu-nii."

Megumi: "Then I want beef rice too, thank you."

Shiyu: "I want steak rice."
