Surprised, Shinichi hastily put down his book and got up, and glanced at the plate on the table. Five dishes and one soup wasn't much, it seemed for two or three people, and there were only two sets of utensils placed side by side on the table.
However, according to the schedule, today should have been the three members of the Asada, Fumino, and Rizu families, a total of four people eating together!
Shinichi stopped his mother who was wearing shoes at a super fast speed.
"Where are you going? Where's dad? Aren't you staying to eat?"
Kazumi glanced at him, then stood up and tapped the heel of her shoe, showing a sneer.
"Your father has taken leave. I will go with him for a day today. Take care of yourself and Fumino-chan. You can have dinner alone. There's 20,000 yen in the drawer. You can spend it."
Shinichi's face twitched, and he immediately understood her intentions.
"Didn't you invite her to our house for dinner?"
"Yeah... But did I say I should be there?" Kazumi said casually, "I invited her to eat after cooking, isn't that just inviting her to our house for dinner? It seems your Japanese isn't very good."
Playing word games?
After the astonishment had passed, Shinichi quickly calmed down.
"Is this how you treat guests?"
"And I didn't say, don't worry about being useless..."
Kazumi rolled her eyes, her tone suddenly became strong, and she was impatient.
"I am your mother, will you teach me how to do something?"
"No one cares about what you want to do, even if you study outside with Fumino-chan all day, it's fine, did I force you to do something?"
"Does it matter if I suddenly want to date your father?"
"Did you pay for it? How old are you?"
"Did I give birth to a boy or a jerk? "
"You are 17 years old, not 7 years old, please be more mature, don't be lonely and cry when you are alone at home, okay?"
"Oh I forgot, you're still alone with girls, so you're scared! Are you afraid of becoming a wolf or being eaten by a wolf? You really are useless."
Kazumi shook her head.
"Don't worry, mom isn't interested in your love life anymore, it's even worse than the second season of Japari Park, why don't you let me go for a walk with your dad, so as not to be awkward and pretend to be here with you."
The mocking words were merciless, and they shot at Shinichi one after another like machine guns. He was speechless looking at his mother.
Kazumi opened the door, and a car was parked outside.
"One last word for you, getting along awkwardly is because you care about the other party. If the other party is just a paramecium, even if it is above you, you will ignore it!"
"How you want to spend the day is up to you. When I return tomorrow, I will accompany you until the end of the resistance period – Arrivederci! (Goodbye)"
The door slammed shut, leaving only Shinichi standing at the entrance, staring at the door in confusion.
Outside the door, Kazumi quickly jumped into the car, and Masao, who had been waiting for a long time, started the engine and asked three times in a row.
"How? He's really mad, right? Does it really have no ill effects?"
"Huuu..."
Kazumi ignored him, first patted her chest, took a breath, and showed a very happy smile.
"This is very cool!!"
Apart from the eyes of her husband who was beside her, the middle-aged woman waved her fists with her eyes shining, and screamed happily like a child.
"Darling, don't you see that I'm really mean, cool, and domineering now! What is that purple yam that can only snap its fingers? He perished the second I slammed the door!"
"Okay, okay, calm down..."
"This is the first time I've seen my son so frightened that he can't speak, this is what's called a slap in the face, right?"
"I assure you, this game-hard-to-get plan will definitely work, and he won't dare lose his temper with us when he returns tomorrow, and he may even see the new progress between him and Fumino-chan!"
"I've been thinking about this method of killing two birds with one stone since Monday..."
"Okay, okay, you're the best... I don't know if Shinichi is lucky or unlucky to have a mother like you." Masao sighed.
"Sure..."
Kazumi glanced at the door of the house, her eyes drooped, and she smiled faintly.
"Of course it's very unfortunate. After all, I always have such useless thoughts."
The car started up, bringing a lively conversation to life, and slowly pulled away from this area.
Not long after, a girl with a blue ponytail and delicate appearance came and stood at Shinichi's door.

Fumino had been making preparations well in advance ever since she learned that she would be visiting Asada's house during the holidays.
First of all prepare souvenirs, some cheap small gift boxes will make Shinichi's parents happy.
Next, a study plan for the day and games to pass the time during recess, and to deal with any embarrassing problems that may occur afterward.
Finally, the stomach is half full. The last time was too rough. It is better to be more restrained when eating at other people's homes.
As for neat dress and proper manners being the foundation, no special preparation is needed.
And inner beauty... Thinking of this, Fumino blushed.
She wore a casual summer beige dress with black tights.
As for underwear, it was her freedom to wear it beautifully or casually, after all, under normal circumstances, this cloth wouldn't be seen...
Even so, she went out of her way to buy cute looking white lace underwear.
Although the size of the upper body is a little regrettable, it is still cute.
Fumimo didn't mean to let someone appreciate this inner beauty, just like last time, even if they were alone in the room, the two would probably do nothing but study.
What's more, her parents are still around. How can there be intimacy?
Besides, she wasn't mentally prepared yet...
Although the age at which modern Japanese girls lose their virginity is getting early, but for the conservative Fumino, it is necessary to establish a relationship as a couple first, then start with hugs and kisses step by step.
As for the location, she didn't like the atmosphere of the hotel, and her own home felt a bit strange. It was better to be in the other party's room for the first time.
"No no, what was I thinking! Has it evolved from puberty to estrus?! Calm down, Fumino…"
Standing at the door of Asada's house, Fumino shook her head.
She pushed aside the bad thoughts in her head.
Then, she looked down at the always-on phone screen, and in the green chat interface, a message was sent at 9 o'clock this morning.
"Ricchan, I was invited by Aunt Kazumi, I will go to Asada-san's house for dinner today, and study as I go... Do you want to come with me?"
The other party didn't reply until after 10 p.m.
"The shop opens at 11 a.m. today, I can't go…Fumino, have fun. By the way, greet Shinichi, I've almost finished the homework he gave me."
Fumino put the phone back in her bag.
"It's just studying! Even though I like him, it doesn't mean I will hurt Ricchan!"
There was another plan to be carried out today, and it would be related to whether she wanted to endure these feelings to the end, and secretly help her best friend fall in love with the boy she liked.
She still passed through the hurdles in her heart and no longer hid it.
So, today is a very important day.
With such a sense of solemnity, Fumino was about to ring the doorbell.
At this time, an erratic female voice sounded behind her.
"Excuse me..."
