Ayumi, carrying her little schoolbag, saw Yuzuru walking towards her, and a happy smile instantly appeared on her face. She then ran up to him, "Brother Yuzuru, my mom is off today and made a big feast at home. Can I invite you to come and eat with us...?"
As she spoke, Ayumi, who was standing in front of Yuzuru looking up at him, turned her head to look at Ai behind her and warmly invited, "Ai, you should come too!"
Without even thinking, Ai refused, saying, "No, I have something to do and need to hurry back."
The research-loving girl is now eager to go home, her mind filled with thoughts of how to experiment on aliens. Today in class, she already devised 108 ways to dissect aliens, and she's just waiting to try them out herself when she gets home.
Upon hearing this, Ayumi's face immediately showed a deep sense of disappointment, but she still nodded obediently: "Alright then, goodbye, Yuzuru-nii and Ai-neechan."
After saying that, she turned away dejectedly, ready to leave.
But Ai suddenly called out, "Ayumi, wait a minute."
Ayumi turned around in surprise, her bright eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Ai.
Seeing this, Ai glared at Yuzuru beside her, then took his hand and placed it in Ayumi's: "Ayumi, thank you for the invitation. Although I can't go this time, your Yuzuru brother can."
"Really?"
Ayumi shouted excitedly, her voice filled with surprise.
"Really." Yuzuru smiled, squatted down, and gently patted Ayumi's head, saying, "Just because Ai doesn't have time to eat doesn't mean I don't have time. Doesn't Ayumi welcome me?"
Ayumi quickly shook her head, a radiant smile blooming on her face, and happily said, "Welcome, welcome! It's so great that Brother Yuzuru could come!"
Ai shook her head speechlessly, thinking to herself that she knew she was just an extra. "Then you guys go ahead, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he turned and left decisively and gracefully.
There's no time to go out for a meal; nothing beats dissecting a facehugger.
Watching Ai's receding figure, Yuzuru, who had been used as a tool to comfort his friend, smiled and took Ayumi's hand, whose face was filled with joy, and walked forward.
He could actually see through Ayumi's thoughts at a glance.
However, he wasn't that beastly.
He simply didn't feel comfortable letting a little girl go home alone so late, fearing she might encounter danger, which is why he agreed to Ai's unauthorized decision.
"Let's go, big brother will go back with you for a big meal."
"Mmm, my mom's cooking is so delicious, I'm sure you'll love it, Yuzuru-nii!"
"Really? Then I'll have to eat a lot later..."
...........
Ayumi's home is in a luxury apartment building in Mika.
When Ayumi was sick last time, Yuzuru and Ai came over. Vermouth was also there and took care of a home invasion robber who wanted to harm Ayumi.
"Brother Yuzuru, I'll open the door for you."
"good."
As Ayumi struggled to open the door with her key on tiptoe, Yuzuru's gaze swept over the brand-new security door in front of her.
Hmm... Inspector Megure is still doing things in the same old way.
The door that was broken into by burglars last time has now been replaced with the latest model of security door.
As Ayumi opened the door, the two went inside.
Just then, as if hearing a noise, a woman's clear and gentle voice came from the kitchen not far away: "Ayumi, you're back. Go and do your homework. Mom is cooking."
"Mom, Yuzuru Hanyu is here."
Ayumi shouted loudly towards the kitchen.
"ah?"
Hearing her daughter's words, Mrs. Yoshida in the kitchen was clearly surprised. After a flurry of activity, a figure hurriedly walked out of the kitchen.
Perhaps it's because I'm resting at home today.
The woman in front of Yuzuru Hanyu was wearing a light pink silk nightgown, her slender, fair shoulders exposed to the air.
She was wearing a pink apron around her chest, which perfectly outlined her graceful figure, making her look pleasing to the eye and very warm.
"Hmm..."
Hanyu Nan, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Mrs. Yoshida naturally noticed his gaze, and after realizing what she was wearing, a blush slowly crept onto her delicate face.
She subconsciously wanted to go back to her bedroom to put on a coat, but the thought was quickly dismissed by Ayumi, who was holding Hanyu Nan's hand and smiling happily at the door.
She hadn't seen such a happy face on her daughter's face for a long time since her divorce.
Meeting Yuzuru's smiling gaze, Mrs. Yoshida walked over quickly and bowed slightly with grace and poise. "Mr. Yuzuru, welcome to our home."
As she spoke, she half-squatted down, took out a pair of brand-new slippers from the shoe cabinet next to her, and gently placed them at Yuzuru Nan's feet.
Yu Sheng Nan smiled and said, "Madam, I apologize for disturbing you."
Mrs. Yoshida waved her hand, picked up the shoes that Yuzuru had changed out of, and carefully and gently placed them on the shoe cabinet. "No disturbance at all. Ayumi is so happy that you could come."
Ayumi nodded repeatedly, "Mom is right, I'm so happy that Yuzuru-nii came!"
Ayumi glanced at her mother, then turned to look at her older brother, Yuzuru Hanyu, her face beaming with happiness and joy.
Yuzuru changed into slippers and walked into the living room.
Mrs. Yoshida followed behind, while Ayumi ran to her room like a cheerful little bird to put down her schoolbag, leaving only the two of them in the living room for a moment.
Yu Shengnan glanced at the many newly replaced items in the living room and casually asked, "Did the police help replace these?"
“Yes.” Mrs. Yoshida stood beside him, her eyes filled with deep gratitude, and said, “Thanks to Mr. Hanyu Kusunoki, all the items that were damaged by the robbers were replaced with new ones by the police free of charge.”
Yuzuru nodded slightly: "That's good, it will put your and Ayumi at ease."
"After what happened, Ayumi hasn't been sleeping well at night. She's really grateful to you." Mrs. Yoshida sighed softly, her gratitude deepening.
If it weren't for this young man in front of him, he might never have seen his daughter again. And without his daughter, what meaning would she have in this world?
Her daughter is the most important person in her life and her pillar of support.
Therefore, she must repay the kindness shown to the young man before her.
