Do you remember Kudo Sayaka's homeroom Teacher?
The one she made a bet with.
That man really kept his promise. Aki Tomoya could see from the photo of his humiliated face that the person probably wanted to die.
"He really went streaking!"
Although in that group photo, Kudo Sayaka and her friends had blocked quite a bit of the Teacher, since there was a photo, it proved that the bet from back then had been completely fulfilled.
Avoiding his parents' gaze, Aki Tomoya excused himself, saying he had something to do, and walked aside.
"So it really wasn't just talk..."
Aki Tomoya replied, adding a sweating emoji.
Shocking, truly.
He could only say that this Teacher was a man, and he didn't make excuses or go back on his word.
"But, isn't this bad? That's a girls' school, right?"
Meiran Girls' High School, as the name suggests, was all girls except for the faculty and staff.
"Precisely because we are a girls' school, this guy Nishimura is about to collapse, hahahaha!"
Her schadenfreude was practically squeezing through the screen onto Aki Tomoya's face.
Thinking about it carefully, that Teacher named Nishimura really went all out, he was truly a formidable character.
Calling her 'scum' repeatedly, and after Kudo Sayaka got into Keio, he didn't say a word and fulfilled the bet. It was just that humiliated expression that was truly hilarious.
That somewhat fierce face, paired with that look of humiliation, was truly hard to forget.
"Now that I see this face, I don't feel angry at all, it's so funny!"
Kudo Sayaka's last message said.
So Teacher Nishimura wasn't really that annoying, at least this humiliated look could make people burst into laughter.
From the initial surprise to the uncontrollable laughter, if Kudo Sayaka hadn't sent the photo on the day of her graduation ceremony, Aki Tomoya wouldn't have even remembered this matter.
"Aki Tomoya, girlfriend?"
When Aki Tomoya returned to his parents, his Mom immediately became gossipy.
Having to hide from them to reply to messages, it was possible this kid had hooked up with some girl without them knowing.
"Not a girlfriend!"
"He's shy, isn't he shy?! His Father, our son is shy!"
"..."
Aki Tomoya looked helpless, letting his Mom guess wildly.
A gentle breeze blew inadvertently, and a few petals of early blooming cherry blossoms slowly drifted before his eyes.
He subconsciously reached out to catch the petals and suggested, "Let's go cherry blossom viewing together this year."
This was a good time for hanami.
"Changing the subject, aren't we?"
"He's changing the subject, isn't he?"
His Mother and Father said in unison, with a hint of teasing on their faces, treating Aki Tomoya's suggestion as a way to change the subject.
However, they were indeed interested in the suggestion.
It was rare for them all to have time, and if they didn't properly celebrate for their son, they would feel guilty.
"Oh my, isn't this Mrs. Aki?"
Like a cat smelling fish, Sawamura Sayuri appeared without warning beside them.
"It is Mrs. Sawamura, it's been a long time, how have you been?!"
"Thank you for your concern, my daughter has to thank your son for always taking care of her."
"No, no, what are you saying! We are the ones who should be saying that!"
Seeing Sawamura Sayuri, Aki Tomoya was startled, then subconsciously looked around.
Soon, he saw Eriri who had chased after them, looking a bit anxious.
"Mom?!"
Eriri looked at Sawamura Sayuri in surprise. She had told her not to come and disturb them, but now she had integrated herself alone. Was she going to abandon her daughter?
"My daughter has always been this clumsy, I hope you don't mind."
Sawamura Sayuri held onto Eriri, while simultaneously signaling her with her eyes not to speak, to watch carefully, learn well, and see how she would handle this.
"How could that be? Your daughter is so cute."
"Just now, I accidentally overheard that you plan to go cherry blossom viewing. That's indeed a good idea. Aki Tomoya got into Tokyo University, so he definitely needs to be celebrated. Our children have known each other for so long, how about we choose a good day and go cherry blossom viewing together?"
Aki Tomoya and Eriri were both startled by Sawamura Sayuri's words.
What exactly did this woman want to do?
Sawamura Sayuri was indeed no ordinary person!
"How could we impose on you like that!"
"Our children have known each other for so long, based on this alone, our two families' connection is no imposition at all. Rather, it's us who are causing you trouble!"
"What are you saying? Let's go together."
Hearing Aki Tomoya's Mother's reply, Sawamura Sayuri quietly gave Eriri behind her an OK gesture.
Watch carefully, my foolish daughter!
Don't disappoint your Mother's kind intentions!
Looking at Mother Sawamura Sayuri's sparkling eyes, Eriri just felt that this woman was really amazing. What kind of operation is this?
"Aki Tomoya doesn't mind, right?"
Sawamura Sayuri turned to look at Aki Tomoya and asked.
Having settled Aki Tomoya's parents, now it was Aki Tomoya's turn.
This kid, in Sawamura Sayuri's impression, was a bit tricky, giving off a feeling of being impervious to persuasion.
However, Aki Tomoya shook his head indifferently at this moment: "I don't have any opinions."
He really couldn't say anything about this matter.
If it's cherry blossom viewing, then so be it. The more people, the livelier it is.
Moreover, after graduating from high school, he could finally relax for once, and there was nothing to mind about his current relationship with Eriri.
Anyway, it was just cherry blossom viewing together.
Adults' conversations are always about their children, and Sawamura Sayuri's praise for Aki Tomoya also made Aki Tomoya's Mother flattered and beaming with joy.
After the graduation ceremony, Aki Tomoya carefully kept his second button.
This year, no one came to ask Aki Tomoya for a button, which saved him trouble.
Having successfully graduated from high school, leaving Toyosaki Academy this spring, and then entering Tokyo University, Aki Tomoya was already looking forward to University life.
"Eriri, have you learned?"
Sawamura Sayuri looked at the departing figures of the Aki family of three and casually asked Eriri beside her.
"...You were indeed doing it on purpose!"
Eriri looked at her Mother with wide eyes.
To be honest, her Mother's actions were a bit showy, but she couldn't match her grasp of the atmosphere.
In this regard, her own Mother was truly amazing.
"But..."
Eriri hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping.
"But?"
"It's a bit hard to learn..."
Eriri's words made Sawamura Sayuri feel quite helpless.
Although she knew her Mother cared about her, Eriri didn't really want her Mother to interfere. She herself was much more open-minded than before.
"I'm going to be a University student soon, I'm not a child anymore!"
"...Yes, yes, yes, you're not a child anymore."
However, Sawamura Sayuri still showed a doting smile.
