Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

The top floor of the Kyoto Tower was like an exhibition hall, without any room partitions.

From the elevator entrance, where Yae and Toma and Sha stood, they could clearly see a woman with short hair, who bore a resemblance to Toma and Sha, sitting on a sofa by the window, being interviewed by a host.

“That is my mother.”

Toma and Sha's gaze towards her mother seemed complex.

There was longing, nervousness, and a bit of cautiousness that prevented her from getting close.

“However…”

Toma and Sha looked at Yae beside her, her eyes dimming.

“You should have seen photos of someone famous like her before, right?”

“Not really.”

Yae waved his hand, replying nonchalantly.

“I knew you first, then I learned about Toma Yoko, so to me, she is just Kazuya's mother.”

“Eh?”

Hearing Yae's words, Toma and Sha was directly stunned.

This was the first time she had heard such words since she was a child.

Not Toma Yoko’s daughter…

But Toma and Sha's mother.

And…

No one had ever called her Kazuya; they all referred to her as Toma-san.

“You… you jerk…”

Toma and Sha pursed her lips, then suddenly chuckled.

She wiped away her tears, almost unable to stand up straight.

“You should smile more often.”

Amidst Toma and Sha's shy gaze, Yae launched another direct attack.

“You look a little better when you smile.”

Toma and Sha's pretty face flushed slightly, and she made a face, sticking out her tongue.

“Meh, if you want me to smile more…”

Saying this, she stretched out her hand, lifted Yae's right hand, then extended her little finger, hooking it with his, her eyes filled with a hazy mist, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.

“Then you must always stay by my side in the future.”

“Rest assured.”

Yae pinched Toma and Sha's cheek and smiled.

“That's only natural.”

…

Half an hour later, the TV interview finally ended.

Toma Yoko stood up, walked to Toma and Sha, nodded slightly, and greeted.

“You came?”

“Yeah, I came.”

Watching the exchange between the mother and daughter, Yae had only one comment.

Awkward.

No matter how you looked at it, it was awkward.

Toma and Sha's extremely awkward personality, not good at expressing emotions, was clearly inherited from her mother.

After Toma Yoko greeted her daughter, she looked at Yae standing beside her, a look of interested amusement appearing in her eyes.

“This is… your boyfriend?”

Toma and Sha's pretty face flushed red, and she hurriedly explained.

“Don't say such things randomly; it will cause trouble for others. This is my classmate, Yae.”

“Oh?”

Toma Yoko sized up Yae with interest, saying meaningfully.

“Really just a simple classmate relationship?”

Before Toma and Sha could speak, Yae replied with a smile, saying something that Toma Yoko didn't expect.

“For now, it's just a classmate relationship; what happens in the future is hard to say.”

Toma Yoko was slightly stunned at first, then showed a look of appreciation.

This young man has some potential.

As a mother, she naturally knew her daughter's awkward personality very well.

Toma and Sha, who was always used to hiding her feelings and using an aggressive exterior to deal with others, actually came to see her with a boy her age.

If there was nothing going on between them, Toma Yoko would never believe it, even if she was beaten to death.

After saying this, Yae smiled and said.

“Now that I've seen you, I won't disturb your rare mother-daughter reunion. I have things to do at the club, so I'll leave first.”

“Okay.”

Toma and Sha nodded in response, then showed a look of hesitation, but in the end, she called out to Yae before he entered the elevator.

“Um…”

“What's wrong?”

Toma and Sha's pretty face flushed red, and she said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.

“Be… be careful.”

“Rest assured.”

After Yae left, Toma Yoko stared at her daughter with an amused expression, saying meaningfully.

“It seems that I will soon be a grandmother.”

Toma and Sha's face turned crimson with shame.

“Plea… please, don't… don't say such things!”

Neither Toma and Sha nor Toma Yoko realized.

Because of Yae's appearance, the scene of the mother and daughter meeting was no longer the same as before, with no topics to talk about other than whether the piano tour was busy or not.

…

The next day, in a café in Kyoto.

“Oh dear, oh dear, I'm sorry, I'm late.”

Yukino Yono pushed the door open, saw Yae and Yukinoshita Yukino sitting there, and immediately walked over with a smile.

She sat next to Yukino and smiled.

“My dear sister, it's been so long, have you missed me?”

Yukino's tone was very flat.

“Please act normal.”

“Oh dear, still so dishonest.”

Yono first covered her mouth and chuckled, then looked at Yae sitting opposite her and said playfully.

“Then, my handsome boyfriend, has anything beyond friendship happened with my dear sister during this time?”

Yae replied very honestly.

“I wanted to, but it didn't happen.”

Watching Yono and Yae taking turns talking nonsense, Yukino couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

“If you called me here just to talk about such boring topics, then I'll go back first, after all, the final exam is tomorrow…”

Who knew that just as Yukino said this, Yono stopped smiling and interrupted with a serious expression.

“What I want to talk to you about is the problem with this exam.”

Yono picked up her coffee cup and took a sip. The bitter taste of the coffee made her brain clearer, and then she looked at Yukino beside her and slowly said.

“You should also know that Mother is strongly opposed to you leaving Chiba Prefecture to study in Kyoto.”

“I know that, but…”

“Listen to me first.”

Yono said with a serious face.

“Recently, there have been endless vicious crime incidents in Kyoto, and recently, there has also appeared some serial killer whose target is junior and senior high school girls.”

“Mother's intention is very clear.”

“Even if you want to stay in Kyoto to study, you should enroll in the private Shuchiin Academy. With the security forces there, as long as you board at the school, you don't have to worry about your personal safety.”

“Otherwise, go back to Chiba Prefecture.”

Speaking of this, Yono paused slightly, then suddenly changed the subject.

“But, things are not absolutely without a turning point.”

Chapter 150 Yukino's Choice, Shuchiin as a Challenger

Faced with her sister's words, Yukino did not rush to ask, but first thought in her mind.

She didn't want to transfer to the private Shuchiin Academy no matter what.

After all, that place basically only recruits noble children with prominent backgrounds, except for a few students with particularly excellent academic performance. It is a veritable aristocratic school.

In other words.

In Yukino's eyes, the private Shuchiin Academy is a “fake.”

She finally left Chiba Prefecture just to escape the environment of the Yukinoshita family.

If she entered the private Shuchiin Academy, Yukino felt that even if she exhausted all of her high school years, she would not be able to find the “genuine” thing she had been pursuing.

After all, “genuine” and “fake” cannot coexist.

In other words.

No matter what method is used, she must change her mother's mind.

After thinking about this, Yukino said calmly.

“What is the method you are talking about?”

Hearing this, Yono suddenly showed a meaningful smile, made a very exaggerated gesture, as if introducing a star's appearance, and even made onomatopoeic words.

“Dang dang”

She pointed to Yae sitting opposite her and smiled.

“At this time, it's our classmate Yae's turn to appear”

With Yukino's intelligence, she instantly understood her sister's meaning.

“Are you saying… if Yae can get first place in the joint exam, maybe he can change Mother's mind?”

Yono smiled and nodded.

“That's right.”

Yukino frowned slightly.
