"Hello." Madam Nishikino nodded with a smile.
She showed no anger at her daughter's intimacy with a strange man, nor relief that her daughter had finally found a man.
This is the appearance of a normal mother who is so innocent and doesn't think too much!
"Hyakki-kun, may I ask why you and my daughter returned so late?" Madam Nishikino asked with a smile.
Ryuji replied: "Maki and I went to the Nishikino family hospital to visit a girl named Miyazono Kaori. She is Maki's friend, aunt should know."
Ryuji's answer made Madam Nishikino feel happy, of course she knew that Maki went to the hospital with a man, and she asked this question just to see how Ryuji would answer.
Although calling her by her name was a bit apprehensive, Madam Nishikino didn't mind that her daughter had a boyfriend, as long as the other party was good enough.
After all, Maki would inherit the family hospital in the future, so she needed to find a good match!
"Since Maki has already been sent home, it's time for me to say goodbye."
Madam Nishikino persuaded him to stay: "Why don't you stay and have dinner? It's been a while since Maki had a friend come to our house as a guest."
"Mom!" Maki scowled, as if she had no friends.
"No, my family will be worried if I come home late." Ryuji refused with a smile.
Madam Nishikino nodded, "Then I won't hold back. Thank you Hyakki-kun for sending Maki back."
Madam Nishikino is the wife of the hospital president, a celebrity with impeccable manners.
"It doesn't matter." Ryuji said goodbye to Maki and left the Nishikino house.
When Ryuji left, Madam Nishikino suddenly asked her daughter: "You like him?"
Maki blushed, "Mom, what are you talking about!"
Madam Nishikino knew her daughter well, had judgment in her heart, and this subtle look said everything.
"How did you two know each other? Otonokizaka is an all-girls school," asked Madam Nishikino who was once a student at Otonokizaka Academy.
"No!" Maki couldn't hide the blush on her face, and ran back to the villa in a panic.
"Hyakki Ryuji, shouldn't we investigate carefully?" Madam Nishikino muttered.
She didn't mind her daughter making friends, and she didn't want to casually investigate other people's information, but if it was someone who might control Nishikino Hospital in the future, she had to be more careful.
"Forget it, how long can a child relationship last?" In the end Madam Nishikino dismissed the notion.
...
Ryuji pressed the doorbell, and Yuigahama beside him waited for him.
"Isn't it just visiting the sick?" Ryuji looked helplessly at Yuigahama.
"This is Yukino-chan's house, isn't Ryu-kun looking forward to it?" Yuigahama said excitedly.
"Maybe a little." Ryuji was slightly curious as to what Yukino's room would be like, it definitely wouldn't be full of cat toys.
Security door opened.
As a woman who lives alone, Yukino has a very good sense of security, and locks the door tightly.
"Yuigahama-san, and…Hyakki-kun." Seeing Ryuji, Yukino involuntarily shrank.
Yukino was wearing a white wool sweater and combing her hair in a dangerous sideways ponytail, but the movement of her body shrinking made one feel cute.
"Hey, don't make such scary moves!" Ryuji complained.
"Sorry." Yukino apologized without sincerity.
"Yukino-chan, how is your health? I heard you asked for sick leave. Ryu-kun, I, and everyone in the service club are very worried," Yuigahama asked concerned.
"Compared to this, shouldn't we go in first?" Ryuji rolled his eyes.
"Wait a moment." Yukino closed the door and opened it again, asking Ryu and Yuigahama to come inside the house.
"What do you want to drink?" She asked.
It makes sense that if guests come to the house, the host should prepare refreshments.
"Just let me be." Yuigahama volunteered. Since Yukino was still sick, it was better to let her do this sort of thing.
"No, I can still do something like this just fine." Yukino shook her head.
"Then make some black tea," Ryuji said.
Yukino nodded and went to the kitchen to prepare tea.
After a while, Yukino brought out tea and poured cups for everyone.
"Yukino-chan are you okay?" Yuigahama asked.
"Just a cold, don't worry." Yukino said with a smile.
The weather had changed a lot recently, and with the executive committee working, the already weak Yukino had finally fallen ill.
"Not that I'm sick."
Yukino is a perfectionist, with a life of precision and order, and the chances of getting sick are the same as getting an SSR gacha.
Yukino was silent for a moment, then said, "Sometimes, I want to make a change."
