"Just for this reason, I'll always love it!!!"

Chapter Two: The Girl Who Came In

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The piercing horn brought Kasugano Mirai back to her senses, and she realized the light was green, so she quickly crossed the road.

As I approached the station, I remembered the celebration party the editor had mentioned earlier, and I changed direction, heading towards a nearby fresh food supermarket.

................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ………………

"Buzz!"

As soon as I entered the supermarket, a wave of heat hit me, followed by the sweet voice of the announcer.

"...Please keep your valuables safe and give way to the elderly and children."

Ignoring the radio broadcasts and the noisy surroundings, Kasugano Mirai had a clear goal and headed straight for the luxury goods area.

After looking around for a while, he pointed to the matsutake mushrooms on the shelf that still had damp soil on them and said to the salesperson, "Hello, could you please give me two pounds of matsutake mushrooms?"

The sales clerk had seen Kasugano Mirai come to the luxury goods area before, but the youthfulness and naivety in her eyes told her that she was a student.

Despite the increasing spending power of students today, the saleswoman, who has been through it all, knows very well that the biggest expense during student days was maintaining social life.

—Those with girlfriends are another matter.

It's not impossible to expect them to spend a lot of money on fresh luxury goods to satisfy their appetites, but the possibility is very, very low.

To avoid any misunderstanding, she didn't come over at first, until Kasugano Mirai spoke up.

Fearing she might be hallucinating, the saleswoman double-checked: "Sir, did you just say matsutake mushrooms?"

In Japan, matsutake mushrooms are highly prized, even more so than salmon and beef. 500g of matsutake mushrooms can sometimes sell for hundreds of thousands of yen, making them an absolute high-end ingredient.

Although the matsutake mushroom that Kasugano Mirai just mentioned was not a top-grade matsutake, it was still quite expensive because it was a fresh product that had just arrived that day.

Therefore, the saleswoman's reaction did not offend the person involved; she calmly nodded, indicating that she had not misheard.

In the end, the saleswoman sighed inwardly at her misjudgment, but quickly packed, weighed, and labeled the items that Kasugano Mirai had purchased before respectfully handing them to him.

"Sir, walk slowly."

"Thank you."

After politely thanking her, Kasugano Mirai rushed to the meat section and bought a fine free-range hen, then went to the fruit and vegetable section and bought a large watermelon, before heading to the cashier with her spoils.

After paying, the boy took out the white box he had stored in advance from the storage box, and left the fresh food supermarket with his bags and headed to the station.

................................................................................................................................................................................................................ …………

"Whoo~"

As she left the station, the salty, humid sea breeze unique to Chiba blew against her face, causing Kasugano Mirai to let out a long, satisfied sigh.

However, thinking about the destination he was about to travel to, the boy's handsome brows couldn't help but furrow.

The sexy and eccentric woman was already troublesome enough, but something went wrong and a few more problem children appeared, so every time he went there he felt like a condemned prisoner about to be executed.

Glancing at the convenience bag in her right hand and the white box in her left, Kasugano Mirai steeled her resolve and took a step forward.

Hopefully, Queen won't show up today!

……

……

……

Meanwhile, in a detached villa in Chiba.

"Crackling."

"Ping ping pong pong".

Two petite girls are curled up on the sofa playing video games.

She may not look very old, but she already has a remarkable presence.

Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and her eyes were watery and sparkling, like the starry sky reflected in the river, bright and beautiful.

Her face was fair with a rosy glow, her nose was delicate and straight, and her lips were thin and bright.

They look so cute and beautiful!

As the words "You Win!" appeared on the screen, the two simultaneously put down their game controllers.

Then, the girl with the rabbit doll in her hand turned to look at her companion.

"Seven Sins, did the editor mention anything about the anime adaptation to you?"

With her head drooping, Seven Sins said listlessly, "Even if a work is adapted into an anime, the editor should contact the author first. Why does Yoshino think the editor would contact me, the illustrator?"

Yoshino shrank back into the sofa and said apologetically, "I don't know much about the animation process. I just think that as the illustrator for Mirai-san, Nanami might know some inside information."

Although it wasn't the first time she'd seen Yoshino's shy and adorable demeanor, every time Nanami saw her, she felt that this girl was just too cute!

Without answering Yoshino's question, she turned towards the door.

"Kurumi, did hentai say when he'll be coming next time?"

A charming and alluring figure appeared at the entrance to the living room without anyone noticing.

—A fair and exquisitely beautiful face, delicate and smooth skin, soft flesh that could be grasped in one hand, a slender and graceful waist, and long, straight legs in black stockings…

Without a doubt, she is a stunning beauty.

A beauty in every sense of the word.

Upon hearing Nanami's question, Tokisaki Kurumi looked up, her right eye, which wasn't hidden by her bangs, filled with amusement and a smile.

"I think he probably won't dare to come over anytime soon."

Upon hearing this, Nanami and Yoshino were taken aback at first, then simultaneously recalled what had happened recently and nodded silently.

"Ding dong~"

Just as Kurumi Tokisaki was about to say something more, the doorbell rang suddenly.

So the girl stopped teasing the two little ones and turned to go to the entrance.

Yoshino and Nanami exchanged a glance, both seeing the expectation in each other's eyes.

They are like rootless duckweed in this world, and because they live a secluded life, no one ever visits them on ordinary days.

The only person who would come to visit was that person who was extremely special to them.

"Has Future Sang finally remembered us girls whom you abandoned?"

The sounds coming from the entrance confirmed the two little ones' guess, but the content of the conversation made them smile wryly.

"You are... Kurumi?"

"Mr. Future, are you surprised to see them? Or should they send the Queen to entertain you?"

"Don't!"

"I think Kurumi is fine as she is now!"

Just as Tokisaki Kurumi was about to close the door and release Queen, Kasugano Mirai quickly stopped her.

He absolutely refused to deal with that troublesome guy unless absolutely necessary.

Noticing what he was carrying, Tokisaki Kurumi stepped aside to make way for him.

"Come in first."

"It must be tiring to stand at the door carrying so many things."

"Ah."

After handing the fresh produce to the girl, Kasugano Mirai expertly took slippers from the shoe rack and began to change.

"Aren't Yoshino and Nanami at home?"

"Is the future guy here?"

"Yoshino is in the living room~"

A fifth voice suddenly rang out in the room, but neither Kasugano Mirai nor Tokisaki Kurumi seemed surprised. The former even greeted the newcomer, saying, "Yoshina looks quite energetic today~"

"Because she sensed Yoshino's burning love for her future brother, and then..."

"Waaaa~ Yoshina, stop joking around~"

With a mournful cry, Yoshina's voice disappeared once again.

Chapter Three: You won't even call me "Dad"!

Once the living room fell silent and no more sounds came from it, Kurumi Tokisaki opened the convenience bag and glanced inside. Then, she asked in surprise, "Why did Mirai-san buy so many matsutake mushrooms?"

"These matsutake mushrooms look like they were just picked recently. They must be expensive."

Kasugano Mirai changed into slippers and raised the white box in her left hand to signal to the girl.

"The editor told me that the PV animation was well received, so we should buy some high-end ingredients and hold a celebration party."

"I originally planned to buy some Wagyu beef, but Wagyu beef is too greasy and needs to be eaten with sauce."

"I find it too much trouble, so I'll just use matsutake mushrooms and free-range chicken instead. I'll make matsutake chicken soup later."

Upon hearing this, Tokisaki Kurumi's right eye, which was clearly black and white, rolled around, and her eyebrows slightly raised.

"Are you sure you have no other ideas when buying ingredients in the future?"

"For example, raising daughters in luxury?"

As the saying goes, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

However, Kasugano Mirai could tell from the girl's raised eyebrows, upturned lips, and sparkling eyes that she was in a very pleasant mood.

Glancing at the closed living room door, Kasugano Mirai said frankly, "Given Yoshino and Nanami's appearances and personalities, it's perfectly normal to treat them as daughters or younger sisters, isn't it?"

“Mirai-san is right, that’s normal.”
