Furuhashi Sakurakyu knew that Kimura Kazuki’s emails were confidential.
She would be disrespectful to Kimura Kazuki if she clicked in and read them... However, when the name of the sender of the email appeared right in front of her eyes, obviously, she could not ignore her own daughters.
Her daughters were no longer six years old. Ten years passed. Counting their age, they should be 16 years old already.
They are already 16- the age of youth. How tall are they? How much do they weigh? Are they plump?... Are they pretty? How about their personalities?
Furuhashi Sakurakyu was overloaded with questions.
With a sense of guilt in her heart, she clicked in Harunaka’s message and found out that there were not many chat messages between both of them... The last message from Harunaka was an apology text, while Kimura Kazuki replied with just ‘it’s fine.’
What is fine? Why is Harunaka apologizing? Furuhashi Sakurakyu was distressed as the conversation between these two was unclear.
She also read Natsui, Akino, and Fuyuno emails. She noticed that Harunaka was the one who chatted more with Kimura Kazuki. Toward the end of each email, all of her four daughters had apologized, while Kimura Kazuki just replied, ‘it’s fine’ again.
From the emails, it seemed like Kazuki knew all of her four daughters, which was disclosed in Nakagawa’s house before... However, from the emails, it seemed like they barely knew each other.
Her daughters’ apologetic messages were from days ago. There were no new emails after that.
This placed her in doubt. Since the two parties were not close, why did her daughters exchange their contact details with Kimura Kazuki?
Furuhashi Sakurakyu utilized her evil hands to type a few words under Harunaka’s registered name.
“Are you there?”
When she was starting to feel guilty and restless, Harunaka replied within seconds before she could react.
“Yes, I’ve just finished my practice when I received your email. Oh yes, were you in a hurry this afternoon? You looked anxious, you even left your plates.”
Furuhashi Sakurakyu stared in silence. She only sent three words, and yet her daughter replied immediately with plentiful of messages. This made her feel anguished...
Harunaka! Why couldn’t you be more reserved?
According to Furuhashi Sakurakyu’s thoughts, her four daughters looked fair since young as they inherited her beauty. As long as Harunaka grew up under normal circumstances, she would definitely be a beautiful young girl at this point of age.
A teenage girl of 16 years old was a period where the sprouting of feelings was at its peak. Could it be that her daughter liked Kazuki?
Most importantly... there were a lot of doubts about the message. Did he leave his plates? Could it be that both of them were having a meal together?
She replied to the message while thinking about what happened in the afternoon. It could just be a personal issue.
“Nothing.”
“You can seek help from me if you have any emergency. I will do whatever I can.”
Again, she replied within seconds with such affection. Furuhashi Sakurakyu felt hopeless...
Back in the apartment, Harunaka sat on the sofa while holding her phone with a confused expression. She thought that it was strange, as Kimura-senpai clearly had something to tell her. She came to her senses immediately and assumed that he was diffident to seek help from her.
Natsui noticed Harunaka’s expression while lying on the sofa when she was having a conversation with her club members. She asked out of curiosity, “Are you alright?”
“Nothing.” Harunaka answered as she tried to change the topic, “Have you finished designing your club poster?”
“Not yet,” Natsui replied with a troubled expression. “Some of the members suggested making an animated poster by putting senior into an anime character. There are suggestions from others as well, so I am still picking my options.”
“Well, good luck to you,” Harunaka commented. All she got was from Natsui was silence. She noticed that Natsui was immensely chatting away on her phone. She was speechless. After that, she checked on her email inbox and noticed that senpai had not replied.
“Senpai, I’m right here~.”
Furuhashi Sakurakyu felt a sense of joy from Natsui when she saw her message, especially from how it ended with a tilde.
“You were in such a hurry this afternoon, you didn’t even finish your meal. Did anything happen, senpai? Do you need any help?” replied Natsui.
Furuhashi Sakurakyu was rendered speechless again.
Furuhashi Sakurakyu did not reply to the message as she got Fuyuno’s reply at that time.
“I’m here. Senpai, what happened to you this afternoon? Did something happen?”
Furuhashi Sakurakyu stared at the screen in silence. She had gotten prompt replies from Natsui, Harunaka, and Fuyuno all at once right after she sent out the messages.
Akino was the only one who caused her to be relieved. Unlike the other three who were not reserved at all, she never replied.
Furuhashi Sakurakyu had finally come round. Despite Kimura Kazuki being an unreasonable person, she found him exquisite. Furthermore, he was an Extraordinary Individual, so protecting Harunaka would not be a problem for him. Therefore, she would not go against Harunaka to be together with him.
However, Furuhashi Sakurakyu was worried stiff for her daughters. Aside from Akino, the rest of them seemed to have a good relationship with Kimura Kazuki.
Having one person in the relationship is alright, but what is the matter with all three of them? There is no buy one free two in a relationship.
As intractable as Furuhashi Sakurakyu felt, she did not reply to any of their messages.
Harunaka: “Hey ... senpai, are you still there?”
Natsui: “Senpai?”
Fuyuno: “...”
Furuhashi Sakurakyu mass replied with ‘nothing’ to all three of them. It made her feel like a jerk.
She lay down on the bed as she stared at the ceiling blankly... Her mind was troubled.
Although nothing could be concluded from the messages, one thing was proved. Harunaka, Natsui, and Fuyuno had feelings toward Kimura Kazuki.
Harunaka and the rest would not question further what happened in the afternoon and offered help when she sent the messages over if they had no feelings. The question bothering her now was how strong were their feelings toward him, which was yet to be confirmed.
As for Akino, no assumptions should be made just yet. Perhaps she had not read the message yet. There was no reply from her. This thought made her let out a sigh.
Feelings are the start of something new!
“Wake up, I’m going to sleep.”
While Furuhashi Sakurakyu was occupied with her absurd thoughts, Kimura Kazuki’s voice rose beside her.
“Huh? Furuhashi Sakurakyu was stunned for a moment and asked, “Where should I sleep then?”
Kimura Kazuki looked at her with confusion, “You may sleep anywhere you like except the bed. Also, I remember that specters don’t need any sleep.” He pointed on the table while talking, “You may sit or lean on the table to rest. And of course, you can use the computer as well.”
Furuhashi Sakurakyu had already thought of herself as a mother-in-law at that time. From that perspective, it seemed like Kimura Kazuki did not stand a chance to be her son-in-law.
She left the bed quietly as she planned to observe Kimura Kazaki all over again.
Kimura Kazuki was not bothered by her because she was latched onto the Sun and Moon Sword. Since she could not be too far away from the sword, he was not worried that she might escape.
Kimura Kazuki fell asleep on the bed... That was when a thought struck Furuhashi Sakurakyu.
She possessed an ability similar to obsessiveness deep in the bottom of her heart. She found out about this ability right after she awakened from the jade pendant.
She was able to intrude into human dreams...
A person’s dream would reflect his deepest character and interests.
The evaluation starts now. She transformed into a stray of light and trespassed into Kimura Kazuki’s dream.
Once she got in, she was astounded.
“That’s a lot of money...”
