"...You don't know, after I hit two home runs in a row, the other team's pitchers only dared to throw bad balls..."

"awesome!"

Listening to Amakusa Narumi proudly showing off his achievements on the phone, Izumi Toru echoed every word.

He was more focused on the message Qian Yue Yao had just sent him.

[Asatsuki Haruka: Bring her to my place, Sakurai is coming. 】

What should I do with Sakurai Ruiko?

He thought of what Jinguji Kiyohime told him that day.

Since we are going to meet, the problem should be solved.

In other words, Sakurai Ruiko doesn't have to stay here, and he doesn't have to monitor or protect her.

As long as she is delivered to Sakurai Masaru, everything will be over...

but……

The tears flowing from the woman's blurred eyes left indelible traces in his heart.

Haruka Asuki wanted to know the whereabouts of Masa Sakurai by threatening Naoko Sakurai so that she could act more conveniently in the future.

Can Naoko Sakurai resist? How to resist? What will be the outcome of her resistance?

Izumi Toru turned his attention to Sakurai Ruiko, who was sitting on the bed playing games. The latter's eyes were wide open, his expression was solemn, and he looked very nervous.

Sakurai Ruiko, who has just learned the fighting game, doesn’t quite understand how to operate it yet, but she plays it very seriously.

If Haruka Asuki discloses this matter, how will Sakurai Ruiko view her mother?

How do you view me?

How does Sakurai Naoko deal with herself?

Even if he dies, will everything be fine?

Suddenly, Izumi Tetsu's heart trembled.

Did Qing Ji know something when she intervened in this matter?

"Izumi?! Izumi?!"

Amakusa Narumi's words awakened Izumi Toru from his thoughts.

"Narumi, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you hear what I just said?"

What you just said?

Izumi Tetsu's brain began to remember.

When he was just stunned, Amakusa Narumi's vague voice gradually became clear and loud.

【If I can reach the finals, will you come?】

this one?

Izumi Toru thought for a while.

If nothing else happens, the finals will be on August 15th, and there are still a few days left. The only thing I plan to do recently is go to the Summer CM with Kyoko Shiratori.

The time was just right.

So, Izumi Toru nodded.

"Can."

After hearing Izumi Toru's affirmative answer, Amakusa Narumi hesitated.

"I heard from Mei Yi that you have been busy with some things recently. It won't affect it, right?"

"No, it will be over soon."

perhaps?

Izumi Toru thought uncertainly.

"Then can you come in advance? Uncle Narumi's heroic appearance of Hagar, but it's one less thing to watch."

"No!" Izumi Toru refused without thinking.

"Uh...you should hesitate for a moment."

"Then...well -" Izumi Toru deliberately pondered for a while, "No!"

"So perfunctory!"

Amakusa Narumi's words were full of dissatisfaction.

"Because I want to go shopping at Summer CM with Shiratori. The cute and beautiful girl is coming with you? Tsk! You know how to choose if you are a human being..."

"Damn it! Let me wait! Did you smack your tongue just now? What's wrong with me? Please explain it clearly to me!"

Before Izumi Tetsu could answer, Amakusa Mei's voice came from the microphone.

"It's so noisy! Idiot! Shut up!"

"Oh... wait, be gentle! Ahhh! It hurts!"

"It hurts you to death! Forget it, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you! Give me your phone! Zhenye, my brother will be left to you!"

"Uh-huh!"

After a period of noise, Amakusa Mei's voice sounded again.

"Hello!"

Izumi Tetsu heard something different from the noisy sound just now.

"Mei, what happened to Narumi?"

"This guy keeps throwing fastballs and tries his best every time. Now he can't lift his arms."

Izumi Tetsu's expression suddenly became serious.

"What about his next game?"

"Fuck him!" After saying angrily, Amakusa Meiyi explained: "I just checked, there is no big problem. And the accompanying doctor also said that he will be restricted from playing in the future."

"What? Restrictions? That won't work! What if I lose the game? I have to let Izumi watch me play the finals!" Amakusa Narumi started yelling again.

"Narumi-senpai, don't you trust my brother and the others at all?" Ayumi Mano asked calmly.

Sensing that Manano Ayumi was a little angry, Amakusa Narumi suddenly felt guilty.

"Uh...ah, that, that, no, that's not the case..."

"So, hurry up and recover, so that you can show off your skills in the finals and let Izumi-senpai see what Narumi-senpai is like."

The girl who was so close spoke softly, and the warm voice brushed against his ears, making Amakusa Narumi's mouth feel dry for no reason.

"Oh...I, I know..."

Seeing Amakusa Narumi calm down due to Mano Ayumi's words, Amakusa Mei curled her lips.

Then, she picked up the phone and said, "Listen, you don't have to worry at all."

"Um."

Izumi Toru was relieved.

At this time, Amakusa Meiyi secretly glanced at Amakusa Narumi and Mano Ayumi, who were still looking at each other, and quietly walked out with her mobile phone.

"Hey, I have a question, I'm super curious."

Hearing the girl's suppressed whisper, Izumi Toru was a little surprised.

"What's wrong?"

"That, that's the one who came here with me, is that woman really Shiratori-senpai's mother?"

"yes."

"You're lying! How can you be so young!"

"But, Aunt Chinatsu also looks very young."

"That's different, it's different!"

"What's different?"

"Huh? Then, that... this, that..." Amakusa Meiyi hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't say anything.

Finally, she muttered: "Anyway, it's just different!"

Of course Izumi Toru knows the difference.

Chinatsu Amakusa is sometimes cute and sometimes mature, but she always gives Izumi Tetsu a gentle and watery feeling.

But Shiratori Ayaori is a pure beautiful girl in person. Her cute behavior, pure appearance, and smart temperament that is not familiar with the world, there is no trace of time.
