Why wasn't I the one who got the male lead's script?

"Well...actually, Haru."

Eriri said this hesitantly, raising her head and looking at Hoshimi's profile with cautious eyes.

"I...kind of want to go home and take a look."

"...?"

Hearing this, the black-haired boy who was drinking water stopped what he was doing and turned his calm gaze to Eriri.

"Ugh... because I haven't been home for a week."

Fearing she might be misunderstood, Eriri looked at Hoshimi with a particularly pitiful expression. If she were in her normal state, it would be fine, but now that her body had shrunk, she had even more of a childlike cuteness and childishness.

Well, Eriri has indeed become much more restrained recently than before - at least sometimes she knows how to think from other people's perspectives.

"Mom should be back from her trip soon. I really miss her..."

While Eriri said this in a pitiful tone, she kept glancing towards Hoshimi, probably secretly observing his expression.

After this week's experience of shrinking her body, Eriri probably understands the advantages of being a child.

——Most people would find it hard to handle the coquettish behavior of a six-year-old blonde girl.

“…Oh, and then.”

However, Xingjian just drank the water in his hand calmly, then took the handle that Eriri had put aside without changing his expression, and continued to help her kill the female fire dragon that she had not finished fighting.

Unfortunately, the equipment of this swordsman is really hard to describe.

"Woo--I just want to go back and take a look!! And I have something important to do when I get home!!"

Seeing that her act of coquettishness had failed, Ying Lili stopped bluffing and kicked her legs to shake her little body.

Of course, she had no idea what Xingjian, who was sitting next to her, was thinking.

"Will this be what it's like when I have a daughter...?"

There's no way around it, the shrunken Eriri gives him the perfect impression of a daughter - probably because her mentality also matches her current appearance age.

"Okay, okay, it's okay to go home."

After knocking the female fire dragon to the ground with his katana, Hoshimi casually searched for materials while curling his lips.

No matter what, as a parent, I'd be a little worried after not seeing my daughter for almost a week... It's understandable to let Eriri go home to see her.

"That is, how do you think I should explain this to your parents, Eriri?"

"Hmm? What's the explanation?"

"I'm so sorry for suddenly shrinking your daughter—oh wait, it wasn't me who shrunk you. It's okay then."

"...Qing, you really deserve a beating."

Despite this, Miss Eriri just gave Hoshimi a faint look, then sat up from the floor and began to happily fix her hair.

She had unknowingly gotten used to having Xingjian around - at least in front of him, she could do things like combing her hair and tidying up her socks and shoes very easily.

"Okay, let's go out now."

After Xingjian pressed the save button of the game, he waited for a moment, exited the game, turned off the console and TV, sat up from the ground, and looked at the little blonde girl who was ready to go.

- If I remember correctly, although Hoshimi had often communicated with Eriri online before (mainly in games), he had never been deeply involved in her real life.

He only knew that Eriri's family seemed to be a very powerful family in England, but he had never been to her house, so he had no real feeling about it.

Even on the way to Sawamura's house, Hoshimi asked in advance, "Eriri, is your house the kind of mansion that only rich people live in on TV?" Eriri replied calmly, "It's okay? It's just so-so." But when Hoshimi actually arrived at the destination, she couldn't help but be a little amazed by the Sawamura family's magnificent single-family villa.

A wide covered area, tall European-style villas with exquisite carvings, and vast gardens that are occasionally tended by gardeners - how to put it... Xingjian couldn't find an exact adjective in his mind to describe the grandeur and exquisiteness of the building in front of him.

This villa would require him to work for at least three hundred years to be able to pay the down payment, right?

"What are you standing there for? Qing. Come here."

When I came to my senses, Eriri, wearing a little red dress and a little hat, had already run to the iron gate with small steps. She stretched out her hands and jumped on the spot, trying to touch the doorbell beside the door.

Unfortunately, no matter how she jumped, she could only touch the bottom of the doorbell. The location of the doorbell seemed to be so cleverly designed to prevent young children from ringing the doorbell.

"Woo..."

With a red face and a little bit of embarrassment and anger, Eriri pouted her face and turned her look for help to Hoshimi who was standing behind her and slowly approaching her.

When the boy saw the look she was giving him, he stopped approaching and tilted his head with a harmless smile.

"Please beg me~"

Why do I feel like a mean little brat?

"Woo--come help me!!"

"Okay, okay -"

After achieving his goal of making Eriri angry and embarrassed, Hoshimi smiled and walked quickly forward, and pressed the doorbell under Eriri's burning gaze.

Ding-dong-

A moment after the crisp doorbell rang, the servant of the Sawamura family opened the door. After Hoshimi explained the purpose of his visit, he led the two of them to the door of the villa's hall.

"Ah la—another little visitor?"

A woman wearing a traditional kimono, with her long purple hair tied into two ponytails, who looked at least 60% to 70% similar to Eriri, arrived late and opened the door to the hall.

Why are there Sayuri stocks?

Although I also like Sayuri (eh hey~)

Sawamura Eriri's Body Shrinkage is Impossible: Chapter 5: How the Misunderstanding Came About (Part 2)

"Huh? Where's the child I haven't seen before?"

After taking a look at the unfamiliar black-haired boy in front of her, she unconsciously shifted her gaze downwards.

Her gaze happened to meet that of a petite girl with blonde hair and blue eyes who looked up at her.

“………Eh?”

Sayuri Sawamura fell into a rare daze.

Of course, this dull feeling instantly turned into another emotion within the next ten minutes.

.........

.........

"Wow—it's Eriri, right? It's Eriri! Eriri has suddenly become so small and cute, it really makes me feel like I've grown a dozen years younger~!"

"Wait, Mom, Mom!! Someone is here now!!"

In the living room of Sawamura's house, Sayuri held Eriri, who looked like an exquisite little doll, in her arms and rubbed her hard, completely ignoring the latter's embarrassed and shameful expression.

There was nothing they could do, after all, a certain black-haired boy was sitting right next to them, watching silently with a subtle expression on his face the entire time - this made Eriri, who felt as if she were some rare creature, feel a little offended.

"So, this guy named Hoshimi Haru is Eriri's classmate... right?"

Sayuri, overflowing with maternal love, kneaded Eriri's tender cheeks and turned her gaze with a smile to the black-haired boy who had been sitting next to them and had not spoken a word and had a low presence. The latter nodded blankly after his presence was noticed.

"Ah, um...that's it."

He had just given a brief self-introduction...he had thought he would be ignored.

"Oh~ I see. Thank you for taking care of our Eriri these past few days!"

Sayuri just hugged Eriri tighter and smiled at the black-haired boy.

"After all, whether this child's body shrinks or not, his mind is no different from a child's. I'm sorry to bother you~"

"Hello, hello! Mom!"

"Ahem... well, nothing."

Hoshimi tried hard not to let the corners of his mouth that were secretly raised be discovered - he didn't expect that Eriri's mother was more skilled in persecuting Eriri than he was.

I inexplicably feel that this mother has no generation gap in communication, and is very accepting of this kind of thing.

"So, Eriri, will it always be like this? Can't it change back?"

Sayuri raised her head and stared at Xingjian with her bright eyes, which made the latter feel a little helpless.

"You're asking the wrong person. I don't quite understand how long this situation will last."

"Ah—really, it's okay if I can't change back. I've always been that adorable, sweet, and caring little girl. It's like I've returned to my youth from more than ten years ago~"

Sayuri hugged Eriri again and nuzzled her with a smile—and Eriri's face was now filled with disbelief, probably because she couldn't believe her own mother was so unreliable. After all, a normal mother wouldn't remain so calm after learning her daughter's body had shrunk.

"Besides, if something like this happens... you can't tell anyone else."

But suddenly, Sayuri gently picked up Eriri and looked at the originally irritable Eriri with a gentle and slightly sad look.

"I find it a little unbelievable, but I can't deny the truth. For the safety of my precious Eriri, the fewer people who know about my shrinking body, the better."

"........."

Xingjian, who had been watching the conversation between the mother and son, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, secretly observing Sayuri's expression.

This mother seems natural and a little unreliable on the surface...but in fact, she is a very mature and rational person.

"Oh, Mom. When I came in just now, you seemed to be saying something like, 'Another guest is coming?'"

Miss Eriri brought up the slight abnormality she had just noticed, and Sayuri was stunned for a moment as if she suddenly remembered something, and then a brighter smile appeared on her face.

"Yes, yes, yes—we have a little guest visiting our house today. It's the son of the toy manufacturer's president, Ishigami. I was busy meeting you, and the little guest is still drinking tea in the reception room."

"—"

While Eriri was muttering, "Toy maker? Who? I don't know him," Hoshimi blinked, and her expression froze for a moment when the face of a gloomy black-haired boy suddenly appeared in her mind.

“Could it be… could it be…”

"That little guest looks gloomy, but I think you'll definitely get along well with him, Eriri~"

"Huh? I don't believe it. Those playboys have always looked down on those of us who play galgames and otaku games..."

"It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, I came to say hello. Besides, I'll help you hide your identity, Eriri. If all else fails, just say you're my second child, right?"

"Hey, hey."

Led by Sayuri, Hoshimi, who felt a little nervous for some reason, and Eriri, who had been particularly calm since returning home, slowly walked through the long corridor towards the reception room.

The moment the door of the reception room opened, a black-haired boy with headphones hanging around his neck sitting on a luxurious and soft sofa came into Xingjian's sight.

——It’s definitely Ishigami Yu.

Let's turn the time back to a few minutes ago, when Sayuri Sawamura skipped to open the door to welcome the guests.

Ishigami Yu, a mildly socially anxious otaku who was asked by his father to come to the Sawamura family to make himself familiar, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Sayuri's figure disappear outside the door, and hung his head with a look of resentment on his face.

Originally, Ishigami was a complete otaku who didn't want to go out during the holidays and just wanted to stay at home watching anime and playing games - but there was nothing he could do, as he was the son of the president of a toy manufacturer, and sometimes he had to be forced to participate in social activities he didn't want to participate in because of the orders of his family.

For example, while visiting Spencer Sawamura's house, this was something that was clearly not suitable for a otaku to do, but was forced upon him by his father.

Although Ishigami was extremely reluctant, under his father's serious order and his earnest persuasion of "Besides, you and the child of the Sawamura family should have a lot of common topics" - he finally bit the bullet and did it, even though he had never seen the child of the Sawamura family and knew almost nothing about the Sawamura family.

Of course, his first feeling after arriving at Sawamura's house and starting to socialize was that he regretted it very much, no matter how he thought about it.

Although Sayuri is amiable and cheerful, Ishigami just can't handle this kind of social situation.

Just as Ishigami was thinking over and over again with his head down and a look of despair, "It would have been better if I had stayed at home stubbornly and didn't go out even if the old man beat me. Is it really okay for me to go to someone else's house and cause trouble now? It's really too bad that I have to let them deal with someone like me. Wouldn't it be better for me to die?", the door of the reception room was opened.

Unexpectedly, behind Sayuri who returned here, in addition to a little girl with blonde twintails whom she had never met before, there was also a black-haired boy who Ishigami was very familiar with.

"—"

When the handsome black-haired boy with a somewhat stunned expression came into his sight, Ishigami's originally gloomy and dim eyes suddenly lit up.

"Xing, Xingjian, senior!!"
