May 17,
The bright sunshine streamed through the windows.
In order to force herself to wake up early in the morning, Misaki Saki not only went to bed early last night and set an alarm but even left the curtains undrawn.
Under the influence of these three measures, the young girl reluctantly sat up from the bed.
The girl's hair was very long, naturally falling down to her small bottom; the thin silk blanket slipped from her body, exposing her skin as white as milk to the air.
There was no need for divine radiance to appear, as it was already blocked by several strands of the girl's golden hair...
The little girl yawned a big yawn with her mouth open, scratched her messy hair, and her eyes were not fully open yet, looking unawake.
After sitting on the bed in a daze for three minutes, she lay down again with a straight fall.
It was at this moment that she realized the reason she'd always had trouble getting out of bed wasn't due to staying up late at night and not waking up the next day.
It was simply that she didn't want to get up, always thinking about lying down a little longer, just one last little while...
But today was different, just as she lay down without reentering her dreamscape, the door to her room was already opened.
Haruka Yuzan looked at Misaki Saki lying on the bed with an expression that said, "I knew it," walked straight over, and yanked the girl out of bed.
"Why are you still sleeping? Get dressed; it's time to work,"
"Huh?"
Misaki Saki was limp as if boneless, utterly devoid of energy.
The forcibly woken-up girl stood in the bathroom, looking at the cute face in the mirror and gave her cheeks a vigorous slap.
Her pale skin instantly flushed red, followed by a tingling pain.
The pain made the little girl grimace.
But it counted as a successful boot-up nonetheless.
A beautiful day starts from now.....
......
"Good morning, Sister Reiko."
"Good morning,"
The morning air was always fresh, invigorating one's senses.
Reiko Onodera arrived at the convenience store early and greeted her colleague with a smile
Madam's mood seemed very good today.
After changing clothes in the dressing room, she saw Arisugawa Hoshina, listless, slumping over the table eating convenience store sushi.
The Spice Girl was still clad in a white shirt and school uniform, white legwear wrapping her youthful, tight calves.
Spice Girl seemed to really like such an outfit.
"Just having breakfast, Hoshina?"
While tidying up the shelves, Madam inquired with concern.
Looking up at that svelte figure in jeans, the full curves of her buttocks perfectly displayed,
one felt the impulse to go up and give it a smack, leaving one's own mark.
After watching for a while, Arisugawa Hoshina finally replied nonchalantly,
"Yeah, I got up late today, so I can only make do with something from the convenience store."
As she said this, she stuffed another piece of sushi into her mouth,
"What about you, Sister Reiko? What did you have for breakfast?"
Upon hearing Spice Girl's question, Reiko Onodera seemed to recall something, paused her movements with a smile, and said,
"I had porridge with meat and a sandwich this morning."
Thinking of the boy she saw making breakfast in the kitchen when she got up this morning, Madam couldn't help but feel a sweet sensation in her heart.
Wearing a deep blue camellia dress with a white semi-transparent short overcoat, the mature lady's attire was indeed eye-catching.
By her side was a small hand, pale and delicately holding hers. The elementary school student standing there looked strikingly similar to the woman, with bright eyes filled with curiosity and joy.
The child was in a green mini-skirt, with a yellow duckling bag slung across and a large sun hat on her head, which made her look extremely adorable.
Mariko Akiyama ignored the surrounding gazes, discerned the direction for a bit, and then led Rika Onodera away.
Exiting the grand hall,
The sight that greeted the grandmother and granddaughter duo instantly stunned them.
The scenes that they had only seen on television now appeared before their eyes, leaving Mariko Akiyama and Rika with an unreal sense of bewilderment.
The muddy country lanes were gone,
replaced by a dark tar road in front of them, with green mountains and clear waters replaced by towering skyscrapers and giant advertising screens hanging above.
A constant flow of cars,
and it felt as if the pedestrians on either side of the road were also rushing to their destinations with great urgency.
Coming from the leisurely countryside to a massive international metropolis, the huge change was overwhelming.
But Rika Onodera wasn't scared at all; her bright and lovely eyes were filled with delight and curiosity.
After all, the little girl was excited just at the thought of seeing her mother soon.
"Grandma, which way should we go?" the sweet voice of little Rika asked.
Just as Mariko Akiyama was about to take out her phone to ask where Haruka Yuzan's house was, a somewhat familiar voice came from not far away,
"Auntie Akiyama, Rika."
Huh?
Looking in the direction of the voice,
the young man approaching them was tall and well-built, dressed in black shorts and a T-shirt, looking simple and neat.
His handsome face was beaming with a sunny smile, as refreshing as a spring breeze, making one feel comfortable.
The boy had an indescribable aura about him, which was quite deceptive, making one unconsciously willing to trust him.
"Haruka brother!" Rika Onodera was the first to call out, and the little girl seemed extremely happy.
"Mr. Haruka," Mariko Akiyama also nodded along, finding the boy even more stylish and handsome than in the videos.
Haruka Yuzan walked over with a smile and said, "Just call me Haruka, adding 'Mr.' makes it seem so distant."
The lady also seemed more dignified than in the videos...
He bent down and ruffled Rika Onodera's hair, "Did you miss me, little Rika?"
"Yes!" The little girl nodded her head vigorously, with joy blooming on her pink cheeks. However, she dodged a bit, "Haruka brother, could you not ruffle my hair, please? I'm going to see mom later, and I don't want it to get messy."
Then, fearing that her "good brother" might be upset, she pointed her little finger in the air,
"After we meet mom, you can ruffle my hair, okay?"
Her large eyes were filled with hope, looking incredibly adorable.
"Rika, you mustn't be rude," Mariko Akiyama chided.
"Hahaha." Haruka Yuzan was indeed amused by the little girl, stood straight up, and said with a laugh, "Alright, I'll take you to see your mom soon."
With that, he glanced once more at the lady, "Auntie, let's go." Enjoy more content from mvl
When they returned home, it was already 10:15.
Rika Onodera looked up at the towering villa in front of her, her mouth opening slightly in awe,
"It's so beautiful!"
"If you like it, you can stay here forever!" Seeing the little girl's joyous face, Haruka Yuzan couldn't help but smile.
Mariko Akiyama was also shocked; she had thought it would just be an apartment building, only to discover it was a villa.
To buy a villa in such a bustling place?? And the owner was just a student?
For a moment, the lady's gaze towards the young man became complicated, as she pondered over something...
