Chapter 1888 - Down Payment (1/2)

Kojou hadn't moved from his spot even after Nagisa had gone out for a long time. He was too lazy to move, and he also slept several times since he was so bored. He thought about sleeping again, but he felt a bit hungry and couldn't help but murmur in annoyance.

”What are Mom and Nagisa doing? They have taken too long of a time.”

Kojou knew that Nagisa's check-up didn't take a long time, and usually Nagisa would go back at this time, but she hadn't gone back, which made her a bit annoyed since who would make the dinner then?

Kojou was thinking of calling Nagisa or her mother, but suddenly his phone vibrated. He took his phone and saw that it was from Nagisa. ”Hello, Nagisa, where are ---” He hadn't finished his words, but he was cut by Nagisa.

”Hello, Kojou-kun? I won't be back tonight,” Nagisa said.

”Ha? Then who will make the dinner?” Kojou asked.

”Just make it yourselves. You can buy or make instant noodles, right?” Nagisa said in annoyance.

”Well...” Hearing Nagisa's words, Kojou couldn't help but sigh.

”I'll hang up the call then,” Nagisa said in a hurry since she had something to do, but...

”Wait a moment, Nagisa, give me the phone first,” Mimori said.

”What's wrong, mom?” Nagisa asked.

”I'll talk with Kojou for a bit,” Mimori said.

Kojou, who had been listening to their conversation, raised his eyebrow and felt a bit confused.

”Hello Kojou, are you at home?” Mimori asked.

”Yeah, I'm at home, mom. What's wrong?” Kojou asked in confusion.

”Come here tomorrow, alright? I'll do a check-up on you too,” Mimori said.

”Ha? Me too? Why?” Kojou was confused.

”Don't ask, just come, alright? If you don't, then I won't give you pocket money,” Mimori said.

”Alright, alright, I'll come!” Kojou quickly said, after all, if he didn't have his pocket money, then how could he stay alive?

”I'll wait for you tomorrow, alright?” Mimori said quickly.

”Oh...” Kojou nodded lazily, but...

”Haru, let's play again! I'll win this time!”

”You have already lost several times, you know?”

Kojou suddenly raised his eyebrow and became dumbfounded when he heard a guy's voice. ”Mom, what's ---”

”.......”

Kojou looked at his phone, which was hung up directly. He then shook his head and thought that it was his imagination since there was no way there was another guy inside his mother's home, right?

Looking at Haru and Nagisa, who played a game together very close to each other, Mimori couldn't help but raise her eyebrow, but she felt that it was quite normal too, considering how her daughter lacked an experience with the opposite gender, especially handsome, fun, and comfortable to be with, but she wasn't that happy at this moment, and that might be hurt by Haru.

Mimori then, without hesitation, sat between both Haru and Nagisa. ”Let me play too!”

”Mom!” Nagisa looked at her mother in annoyance. ”I've lost because of you!” She thought that she had a chance to win against Shishio, but because her mother suddenly pushed her, it caused her to lose the game.

Haru only glanced at Mimori and didn't say much.

”Let's work together. It's impossible to defeat him alone,” Mimori said.

”...” Haru stared at Mimori, and somehow these words seemed to be quite misleading.

”Really? Is he really that good at the game?” Nagisa asked curiously.
