Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Will she come? ...
Yuta Okkotsu finally did a good thing. The No. 1 strawberry parfait must-eat list he found on the Internet was not a disaster at all.
Looking at the perfect strawberry parfait in front of her, Eri Kimoto's eyes lit up. The depression caused by the sun was completely swept away. She couldn't help but take out her mobile phone and started taking pictures.
The upper and lower layers are separated by almond shortbread. The top layer is a pistachio Napoleon dotted with strawberry slices. Underneath is berry sorbet, mascarpone sorbet and pistachio cream. The lower half is also made of strawberry slices and pistachio crumbs interspersed with strawberry ice cream. Just looking at the appearance, it can get a perfect score. It is simply perfect.
With an almost reverent expression, Qi Ben Eri scooped a mouthful with a small spoon and put it into her mouth. Then, after a few seconds of silence, she looked up and nodded to Yuta Otsutsukota: "Buy me another one after you finish this one."
Yuta Otsutsukota, who had been holding his breath since she started tasting it, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing how much she liked it, he smiled softly and foolishly: "Okay, but there's no third one, Eri. Be careful not to get an upset stomach."
"Are you eating too, Fushiguro-san?"
Fushiguro Megumi also nodded, looking down at Uji Kintoki in front of him,
The shaved ice that is still steaming with cold air looks very tempting. Whether it is the brightly colored matcha green, the soft and sticky red bean paste, or the three white and tender meatballs with a good taste on the side, they should all be delicious.
Otsukoshi-senpai really spent a lot of money. The prices in this store are much more expensive than those in their place. It's worthy of being in Tokyo.
Picking up the small spoon at hand, Megumi Fushiguro just said thank you to the senior sitting opposite him when he noticed that the person next to him moved as fast as a flash of lightning, and a black shadow flashed past his eyes.
Fushiguro Megumi: “….”
Yuta Otsutsuki: “….”
The two boys' gazes moved downwards at the same time.
The perfectly piled mountain of Uji Kintoki in front of the sea urchin head was already a little dangerous. In addition to the missing piece of matcha mountain and half a spoonful of red bean paste, only two of the three balls were left.
"painted--"
"Hello."
Yuta Otsutsukota was startled when his speech was interrupted. Just as he took a breath and prepared to apologize for Eri's actions,
"You say (chew chew chew) this Uji Kintoki (chew chew chew), isn't it a little too sweet (chew chew chew)?" Eri Nori blinked at Megumi Fushiguro and said vaguely: "Whoever researched it (chew chew chew) is a genius."
Her forehead twitched, but Fushiguro Megumi resisted the urge to punch her on the head. In the end, she pulled out a piece of paper and pressed it against her face in annoyance: "Finish eating before you talk."
"..." Yuta Okkotsu's expression was still frozen on his face.
Lowering his head and taking a bite of the peach-flavored shaved ice, Yuta Otsutsuki wondered how this boy named Fushiguro Megumi could have such a good relationship with Eri, and what had happened between them during this period of time... He really wanted to know!
The spoon dug into the shaved ice, and the peach syrup seeped down along the scraped marks until it sank to the bottom of the cup. Yuta Otsutsukoshi looked quietly at Megumi Fushiguro across from him.
The young man was sighing helplessly, and his hand moved Uji Kintoki's bowl to another direction. At least it would be difficult for Eri Kimoto to steal the remaining two white balls.
"This guy was the same last time, he came when I wasn't paying attention," Fushiguro Megumi sighed and suddenly said, "The same thing happened last time."
Yuta Otsutsuki: “?”
"The last time I was with her in a coffee shop, she dug a hole in the middle of her cake, and then when I wasn't noticing, she used a spoon to scoop out my cake through the hole, and ate at least half of it."
Thinking of this, Fushiguro Megumi's face was speechless again, and she seemed to find it funny: "...It's really childish."
On the side, Eri Kimoto lowered her head and laughed, and did not refute her behavior after hearing this: "But the chocolate cake you ordered looks better than mine~"
Fushiguro Megumi's mouth twitched: "Then this is not the reason why you can cheat!"
"Of course not, you were just playing with your phone at the time," Qi Ben Eri laughed, in a very good mood: "Be more careful next time!"
“…”
Watching the interaction between the two, Yuta Otsutsuki couldn't hold back any longer, and his voice was filled with gossip that he himself hadn't noticed: "Are you two... a little too close?"
Eri Norimoto ignored him, only glanced at him before continuing to eat her strawberry parfait. Fushiguro Megumi, on the other hand, looked at him in confusion and tilted her head: "Really?"
"...Ah, no," Yuta Otsutsukota quickly shook his head. After stealing a glance at Eri Norimoto, he explained in a low voice, "It's just that... Eri isn't the type to get close to others. Fushiguro-san, it seems like you can really gain her trust?"
Eri has never had close contact with other people since she was a child. Yuta Otsutsuki discovered this early on, so he has always been worried about her.
Now that he and Fushiguro-san are getting along so well... Otsutsukotsu Yuuta thought, but since Gojo-sensei trusts him so much, it shouldn't be a problem. After all, he still has to thank Fushiguro-san!!
"Fushiguro-san,"
After figuring it out, the strange feeling in Yuta Otsutsukotsu's heart completely disappeared. He smiled and looked into Fushiguro Megumi's eyes: "As expected, I am very grateful for your taking care of Eri during this period."
Fushiguro Megumi immediately replied: "No, no, she didn't cause me much trouble."
Yuta Otsutsukota smiled again: "That's right."
Megumi Fushiguro: “….”…Senior, that’s not it.
He was just being polite.
After taking another peek at Eri, who didn't seem to care about what they were talking about, Yuta Otsutsukota continued to ask tentatively, "Eri hasn't told me much about your time in Saitama... Can you give me a brief overview?"
...This senior is indeed very reliable!
Megumi Fushiguro showed a relieved expression. She was about to hide the fact that Eri Norimoto stayed up late at night in Saitama and went out to cause trouble. When she was telling him some daily troubles, the people around her stood up.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
After finishing her strawberry parfait, Eri Norimoto glanced down at Megumi Fushiguro and said sweetly, "If I find you still saying bad things about me when I get back—"
Fushiguro Megumi was silent for a few seconds, and finally said: "...Then I will say less."
Eri Kimoto chuckled, nodded at him, and left.
....
....
The bathroom was very quiet, with no one in it.
Sitting on the toilet seat, Eri Kimoto took out the note from her purse. What message did those two people in sailor uniforms want to convey to her? She had definitely never seen them before.
The crumpled paper was opened, and after seeing the contents of the note, Eri Kimoto's expression changed instantly.
'Want to know the truth about your sister?'
"Come here at midnight and don't tell anyone, including Yuuta Otsutsuki."
“…”
Qi Ben Eri's face darkened rapidly.
Who are those two people? Why do they know about me and my sister? What is the truth about my sister? What are they referring to?
All this made her eyes suddenly cold, with a cold and ruthless killing intent in her eyes. No matter who it was, this feeling of being secretly watched made her heart rise with a cold fire.
Eri Kimoto used her phone to search for the address written on the note. After discovering that the address was in an abandoned shrine more than ten kilometers away from the already remote Jujutsu High School, she couldn't help but sneer.
It was so thoughtful of him to even choose a convenient address for her.
After staring at the note for a few seconds, Eri Kimoto tore it up and flushed it down the toilet, then pushed the door open and left the stall to wash her hands. Her reflection in the mirror looked normal, masking the dark sarcasm in her eyes. She regained her usual smile and pushed the door open before leaving.
.......
.......
at the same time,
In the coffee shop, Geto Suguru gently stirred the black tea in front of him with a spoon. His eyes passed through the crowd and accurately locked onto the girl in the building opposite.
"It seems to be somewhat similar to my technique."
The corners of Xia Yujie's mouth curled up slightly, and he seemed to mutter to himself, "I just don't know the upper limit of how many I can control. I guess there are not many that I can control."
"I'm actually quite envious of not having to eat Curse Jade that tastes like that."
Nanako and Mimiko appeared at some point and sat down next to him, both holding a crepe in their hands.
"Has the message been delivered?" Xia Yujie asked without turning his head.
"Yeah." Nanako sat next to him and leaned over to look over: "But will she come?"
Geto Xiayou chuckled, supported his chin with one hand, and looked at the three people in the building opposite.
I don't know what Fushiguro Megumi and Otsutsukota said. When Eri Nori returned to them, she seemed to have heard something unpleasant. She pouted and wanted to punch Fushiguro Megumi.
Fushiguro Megumi dodged backwards with ease, then gave her a look that said, "Stop messing around."
Yuta Otsutsuki, who had already stood up, seemed ready to mediate... However, it was of no use. He was frightened by Eri Kimoto's rolling eyes and just sat down quietly, pretending nothing had happened.
Geto Suguru covered his mouth and laughed as if he had seen something funny.
Nanako and her younger sister looked at each other and were both surprised by Geto Suguru's inexplicable smile.
"Ah, sorry, it just reminded me of myself," Xia Yujie turned back, smiled and explained calmly to them, quickly changing the subject: "She will come."
"She will definitely come..."
Xia Yujie narrowed his eyes and said with emotion: "It's just a feeling."
Even if he didn't come tonight, he would definitely go find her.
