Chapter 67: Goddess of Luck "I am your most loyal believer"...
It's a rare occasion for Ryouna to go home, and there happens to be a fireworks festival tomorrow, so Kirihara's mother suggests that the whole family go for a walk together.
At the dinner table, Kirihara's mother was making plans enthusiastically, waiting for everyone's response.
"What do you think?"
Kirihara's father and Akaya were fine, leaving only Ryouna.
Facing her mother's expectant gaze, Liangnai felt uneasy. She poked the rice in the bowl with the chopsticks in her hand and kept her head down without saying a word.
How should she tell her mother that she has a date with her boyfriend?
After hearing this, she was left with the choice of whether to explain that she had a boyfriend or to choose who to go to the fireworks display with.
Stupid Akaye, your sister is in a big crisis, and you are still thinking about eating.
Ryouna clenched her back teeth and kicked Akaya's calf.
Feeling the pain in his calf, Akaya, still holding the fried shrimp in his mouth, looked up at Ryouna opposite him.
"Why did you kick me, sis?"
Ryona: ...I was wrong. I asked you to cover for me and prevent me from looking for Chihu.
Kirihara's mother naturally noticed the siblings' little actions and made a decision for Ryouna with malicious intentions.
"Looks like everyone's okay with it. It's settled then. The whole family will go to the fireworks display tomorrow night."
After announcing the result, Kirihara's mother left humming a song, and at the end she asked the father and his two daughters to wash the dishes.
Ryouna looked eagerly at Kirihara's father. Kirihara's father had no idea what the mother and daughter were talking about, and patted Ryouna's head happily.
"The fireworks display is great. Does Ryouna have a date with any friends? If so, go explain to your mother. She'll understand."
How come this child is separated from her family even after attending a technical college? Didn't mother and daughter talk about everything before? They were like best friends.
He took the plate from Ryouna's hand and put it down, pushing her towards the stairs and giving her an encouraging smile, "Mom and Dad will always support you and Akaya. You must believe in us."
Ryouna's heart warmed and she gave Kirihara's father a big hug, "Dad, I love you so much."
How did it quickly become a story of affection between father and daughter? Little Haidai didn't understand, but when she saw the plate in her sister's hand passed to her father, she suddenly realized and followed behind to express her love.
"I love you too, Dad."
Then he smiled and stuffed his plate into Kirihara's father's hand.
Kirihara's father rejected him coldly, "Why are you laughing so foolishly? Hurry and wash the dishes."
Chiye curled his lips and reluctantly put on his gloves. Wasn't it possible to avoid washing dishes just by confessing his feelings? Damn it, what had happened?
Arriving at the master bedroom, Liang Na was a little hesitant, and the hand she raised was not brought down for a long time.
Like telepathy between mother and daughter, Qieyuan's mother's voice rang out in the room.
"My father and I have room with door gods."
After being discovered, Ryona smiled awkwardly, turned the doorknob and entered the room.
"Mom~"
Before anyone even entered, she started acting like a spoiled brat.
Ryouna walked over in small steps, put her arms around Kirihara's mother's shoulders and began to rub her face against hers.
"Isn't he quite capable?" Kirihara's mother didn't even turn her head, but lowered her head to clean the table of the dressing table.
"How can I be so capable?" Liang Na continued to act coquettishly, "Don't be unhappy."
Kirihara's mother snorted coldly and ignored her. She turned on the TV series and took care of her skin while watching it.
"Wow, mommy is getting more and more beautiful."
Seeing that her mother ignored her, Ryona started to praise her like crazy.
"Skin as white as snow, lips as red as roses, hair as black as ebony..."
She made a heart-holding gesture and said in an exaggerated tone, "No wonder Akaya looks so good in Snow White's costume. It turns out it's because of Ms. Kotoko's excellent genes."
There was really nothing she could do. Kirihara's mother shook her head and sighed, pinching Ryouna's nose in frustration, "You're so smooth-talking."
"You, after a year of studying in Tokyo, have you become even dumber? Why don't you find someone else to cover for you, but that idiot Akaya?"
"This school is not good. Why don't we transfer back here?"
Finally getting to the point, Ryona squeezed Kirihara's mother's shoulder attentively, "Transferring schools is such a hassle. Besides, doesn't Mom support me in school matters?"
"I can't go back on my word." Kirihara's mother glanced at Ryona in the mirror, "Besides, it was you, a stinky girl, who concealed it first."
She knew that the path the child had chosen, that of a sorcerer, was fraught with danger, but when she saw with her own eyes her daughter being smashed against the wall, her body covered with wounds, her heart felt as if it were being cut into pieces by a thousand knives.
The girl didn't say anything, and she didn't tell herself that even her normal classes were so dangerous.
Judging from the tacit understanding between mother and daughter over the years, Liangnai felt a pang in her heart, thinking that she was here to bring up old grudges.
"I didn't want to worry you. Besides, it's not that serious. Fushiguro-sensei's strength is one of the best in the world of curses, so I was so embarrassed that day."
It's been so long, why are you suddenly bringing up old issues?
"Isn't Mom the one who understands me the most in the family?" She looked up admiringly like a kitten. "You know, this is a decision I made after careful consideration."
She recalled the night when Noctua came to visit her home.
She was thirsty and went downstairs to the kitchen to drink some water. Unexpectedly, she saw Kirihara's mother in the living room who had not yet returned to her room.
The mother was wearing glasses and slowly flipping through the album containing her childhood photos. Her face was full of kindness and sadness, and her eyes were red.
It was the first time she saw her mother cry, and she immediately panicked.
She went forward to comfort her mother, but was hugged by her mother. Her gentle and powerful voice was filled with unbearable tears.
"It must be hard to see things that others can't see. I'm sorry, it's Mom and Dad's fault."
When her mother found out, Ryouna's mind went blank and she didn't know how to respond. Didn't Principal Yega tell her mother that the technical high school was a bodyguard school?
How come the truth was still known?
"Who am I, your mother? You can't hide anything from me."
Kirihara's mother poked her forehead and stroked the photo. In the photo, Ryouna had a dirty face and raised a bright smile to the camera.
"Come to think of it, your father and I thought you had an overactive imagination, but we couldn't bear to shatter your fantasy, so we kept avoiding you."
"I'm really sorry." Kirihara's mother stroked Ryouna's cheek, her eyes full of heartache.
"You can go to this school if you want. Your father will take care of your grandfather's side."
The old man has always hoped that Ryouna would go straight to Rikkai University and eventually get admitted to the University of Tokyo.
I did conceal the danger factor, but it's been so long...
Liangnai narrowed her eyes slightly and caught the smile that was almost impossible to hide on the corner of her mother's mouth.
Something was amiss, so Ryona cautiously let go of her massaging hands and plopped down on the soft chair at the end of the bed.
"Tell me, what is your purpose?"
Kirihara's mother was waiting for Ryouna to say this, and she turned around with a gossipy glint in her eyes.
"You can ask me not to bring up the past, but just tell me quietly, are you and Yukimura-kun in a relationship?"
So this is the purpose? The real purpose is revealed to my mother.
"Akaye told you?" Ryona said this, not believing it herself.
Kirihara's mother gave her a look of disdain, "Are you really getting dumber the more you study?"
"That Akaya brat not only didn't tell me, he also helped cover up the fact that you and Yukimura-kun were dating."
Although full of loopholes.
"So that's it?" This time it was Kirihara's mother's turn to act coquettishly.
"......yes."
Ryona had already prepared herself to be discovered, and her straight back ended up bending prematurely.
"Very good!"
The word "yes" seemed to turn on some strange switch, and Ms. Kotoko excitedly took out the kimono she had prepared long ago from the closet.
One set, two sets, three sets, and other beautiful skirts were all taken out and placed in front of Liangnai.
"Since we're going on a date tomorrow, of course we have to dress up nicely."
These clothes were bought by Kirihara's mother when she went shopping. She was just waiting for Ryouna to come back so that she could have some fun with Miracle Nana, who she hadn't seen for a long time.
There are three sets of kimonos, three sets of short skirts, and six sets of long skirts.
Ryouna couldn't help but whine, "I knew it! This is too much, Mom!"
"Too much?" Kirihara's mother pointed at the clothes in disbelief. "This is the result of my restraint. Next time, I'll let you know what a lot really is."
She picked up a kimono and placed it in Liangnai's arms, then pushed her into the bathroom. "Hurry up and change. It's getting late. You should choose one and rest well."
"You have to dress up beautifully for the fireworks festival."
Ryouna's eyes went dark, but she had no way to resist Kirihara's mother who was addicted to the dress-up game.
She walked towards the bathroom resignedly, touched the corners of her mouth that were turned up, and thought, forget it, it's just a dress-up game, how could it be more tiring than exorcising a cursed spirit.
An hour and a half passed, and Liangnai really couldn't move anymore. She slumped in the chair and waved her hands weakly.
"No, I can't try anymore."
Kirihara's mother was still in high spirits. "These three kimonos are all very beautiful. Fireworks festivals must be held in kimonos."
"Look at these three sets. Which one do you choose?"
She showed the photos she had taken to Ryona and let her make her own choice.
Ryouna took the photo, but couldn't help wondering what color clothes Yukimura would wear.
She took advantage of the time when Kirihara's mother was called out by Kirihara's father to send a message to Yukimura Seiichi.
[Sun Sun Lazy: Yukimura, what's your lucky color for tomorrow?]
The message from that side was replied within seconds.
Cornflower is also thinking about the sun today: Lucky color?
Yukimura Seiichi replied to Ryouna with a smile.
Cornflower is also thinking about the sun today: I think I will wear a gray-blue kimono tomorrow.
Liangnai choked and deleted and subtracted on the keyboard.
[Sunny Sun: ...I'm just asking about the lucky color.]
The smile on Yukimura Seiichi's mouth became more and more obvious, which attracted Mei's sidelong glance.
Cornflower is also thinking about the sun today: "Is that so? Then I'll answer again: my lucky color tomorrow is gray-blue."
Cornflower is also thinking about the sun today: I believe in Lady Luck more than lucky colors.
[Cornflower is also thinking about the sun today: So, are you ready to meet your most loyal believer tomorrow? ]
Liangnai turned off her phone with a blushing face and fled the scene.
What the hell is going on!
Before Kirihara's mother could call out to Ryona, she was interrupted by her.
"That coral pink one."
The door closed without translating for Kirihara's mother.
"This child is so impatient."
