Eriri was in shock and felt that her heart stopped at that moment.
"Wh - What are you doing here?!"
Eriri looked at her mother who suddenly appeared in front of her. If she was 70 years older, then she would die from a heart attack when her mother suddenly appeared in front of her.
However, Eriri's mother ignored Eriri's question and directly asked, "Is that your boyfriend?"
Sayuri Sawamura, that was the name of Eriri's mother, was a very beautiful woman with long, flowing dark purple hair that was tied into two twin tails laced with two ribbons on each side (just like Eriri Spencer Sawamura) and brown eyes.
If both Sayuri and Eriri stood next to each other, no one would be weird if someone thought of them as twins.
"....."
Eriri was stunned by the question and her face turned red before she quickly denied it without hesitation. "No!"
"Really?"
Sayuri seemed to not believe her daughter's words since she knew the character of her daughter was quite a tsundere, however, at the same time, she knew that her daughter loved her childhood friend which shocked her when she saw her with another young man. She suddenly thought that this development was similar to the NTR hentai manga that she had bought before.
"Why are you here? You're already old! You should sleep early!"
Eriri didn't act politely in front of her mother since her mother was the one who brought her to the world of hentai. Her mother was also the one who supported her to become doujin hentai mangaka, however, she was grateful for that, but she was too embarrassed to say it.
"How cruel!"
Sayuri sobbed and said, "Don't you remember when we went out together, the store staff thought of us as sisters? I am not old! I am your sister!"
"..."
Eriri had a black line on her forehead, thinking that this old woman was too much, however, she couldn't deny that her mother was looking quite young for her age.
"So who is he?" Sayuri didn't give up and asked once again. She couldn't see Haru's appearance that well before since she only came out when she knew that her daughter was being delivered back by a young man. She suddenly wondered whether her daughter was lying to her about making a game together, but in truth, this girl was having a rendezvous and raunchy night with that young man.
Sayuri closed her mouth and her eyes were a bit red.
"Eriri, mother has never taught you to be this naughty!" She looked around and whispered, D - Did you use a condom?"
"....."
Eriri frowned, but when she heard that last question, she couldn't handle it anymore. Her pretty white face turned red instantly. Even though she was a doujinshi hentai mangaka, her experience in that area was zero after all. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"
"I won't tell your father, but tell me the truth whether you go out with another boy when you clearly tell me that you're going to create a game," Sayuri said with a serious expression.
"I didn't lie! I really went out to make a game! That guy isn't my boyfriend either!"
"Then who is he?"
"He is..."
Eriri wasn't sure what to say for a moment since she felt that Haru's identity might surprise her mother.
When Sayuri saw a long pause on her daughter, she nodded and said, "So he's really your boyfriend?"
"Of course not! That guy already has a girlfriend!" Eriri said without hesitation.
"Does he already have a girlfriend? Then why has she sent you back?" Sayuri frowned since she didn't think that her daughter would be the one seduced by that young man on the other hands, that young man might be the one who seduced her daughter. The more she thought, the more it was similar to the NTR plot on the manga that she read before.
Eriri sighed and said, "I have said before that I have made a game, right?"
Sayuri nodded and asked, "So this game is related to that young man?"
"He's the one who made the game plan and he's also the boyfriend of the one who has invited me." Eriri was a bit tired, but she continued to explain since she didn't want her mother to misunderstand her relationship with Haru. "It is already late so he has decided to send me back."
"Hmm...." Sayuri nodded and asked, "So he isn't your boyfriend?"
"Of course not!" Eriri snorted and said, "If you're curious about him, he'll go to the party at our house in a few days."
"Huh?" Sayuri was surprised and asked, "Who is he?"
"Well, you'll see him at the party. I'm tired now. I want to sleep," Eriri said and left her mother.
"Wait, Eriri! You still have your hymen, right?" Sayuri quickly chased after her daughter.
"What kind of question did you ask your daughter?!"
Eriri loved her mother, but sometimes, her mother was too much for her. She was in a rage and there was a third world war happening within her house at that moment.

The exam got closer and all the members of Muse worked hard to study together.
Haru also helped them by teaching them tips for them to be able to succeed on the exam easily.
"You don't need to learn everything. Just learn this, this, and this."
Haru took a pen and marked the only part that would come out on the exam in Honoka's textbook.
"Uwooo!!!"
Honoka was excited since she didn't need to learn everything from her textbook.
"But Haru... this is a bit cheating!" Umi didn't feel comfortable when she saw how Honoka only learned some parts and not all within the textbook.
"What we need to do is to pass the exam well, or else, when the result is bad, this girl is too late to cry," Haru said.
"That's right, Umi-chan!" Honoka nodded excitedly.
Being stared at by Honoka and Haru, Umi could only sigh, but then she pushed him away. "Alright, alright, but don't get too close to me!"
"Why?" Haru felt slightly hurt.
"Be - Because we're a man and a woman! We're not married so we can't get too close to each other!" Umi said with a blush on her face.
"...."
When everyone heard the words which came out from Umi's words, they weren't sure what to say since they also knew that this girl hugged him during their meeting with A-Rise.
Haru wanted to tease Umi, but then his hand was being pulled by Nozomi.
"Alright, alright, you're smart, right? Then teach this stupid girl with me," Nozomi said while looking at Nico.
"I'm not stupid!" Nico screamed.
"Then solve this problem," Nozomi said and pointed at one problem in the book.
"....."
Nico stared at the book for a while before she made her signature gesture while speaking.
"Nico Nico Nii!"
"...."
"What do you think?" Nozomi glanced at Haru.
"I am surprised this girl can become a 3rd year," Haru said.
Nico didn't seem angry by Haru's words or rather she tried to act as cute as possible while puffing her cheek. "This question is difficult. Nico can't understand this problem..."
"....." 2x
Haru and Nozomi looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Nico-chan, then I'll teach you slowly with my own method..." Nozomi said while making a weird gesture with her hands.
"NOOOOOO!!!!!"
Haru looked at everyone and wondered whether they could really study together while they were here.
