"Oh? Eriri, why are you acting like that? Could it be... that you gave me something as a prank?"
"How could I possibly do that?"
Listening to Kasumigaoka Utaha's suspicious words, Sawamura Eriri turned her head away guiltily, not daring to look at the other person. How should I put it? It was a little too easy to understand.
Although she knew that this gift might contain some prank or something, it was a gift from a friend after all. Kasumigaoka Utaha resolutely opened the package and saw a gift box inside.
"So it's one of those scary gift boxes? What's inside, a snake? A cockroach? A scorpion? A human head?"
Of course, what Kasumigaoka Utaha is talking about here are naturally simulation models. Even if it is a prank between good friends, it will not be too outrageous, and it is difficult to preserve them if they are really given as gifts.
Although she asked Eriri Sawamura, she had no intention of answering, so Kasumigaoka Utaha could only open the gift box herself to find out what was inside.
then……
The moment it opened, a green snake suddenly jumped out. Even though Kasumigaoka Utaha was mentally prepared, she was still startled and subconsciously withdrew her hand.
However, this scare gift box is quite interesting and is very cleverly made.
"What? It's a snake."
Chapter 261: Cunning Hui
Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha showing a disdainful expression, Sawamura Eriri immediately opened her mouth and sneered.
"You were frightened just now, and when you abruptly withdrew your hand, there wasn't a trace of disdain on your face."
"You know what a knee-jerk reflex is, right? It's not something I can control. I'll just instinctively stop when I get pricked by a needle."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's words were very convincing, and Sawamura Eriri didn't dare to deny her for a while. After all, retracting the hand when pricked by a needle and the knee-jerk reflex are both unconditioned reflexes. But she always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what the other party had just said.
"Alright, Eriri-kun gave the graduating senior a Christmas gift of a scary gift box prank. I'll take note of this."
Kasumigaoka Utaha closed the scare gift box and was about to put it aside and open the next one, but was stopped by Sawamura Eriri again.
"You haven't even finished reading my Christmas present."
"what?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned for a moment before she realized that the surprise gift box is also a gift box, so besides the surprise, it also contains a real gift?
She opened the scary gift box again. Since she already knew how scary it was, this time Kasumigaoka Utaha looked calm and composed.
The real gift was a platinum bracelet with the words "Yuehiriha" engraved on it. When Kasumigaoka Utaha cast a puzzled look at Sawamura Eriri, the latter pulled up her sleeve and revealed her bracelet.
Obviously, this is a set of things. The gifts for Muto Yu and Kato Megumi are probably this.
"Why don't you like it?"
"This bracelet is pretty good, but I'm confused as to why my name is the last one on the list?!"
"You is our head patriarch, so he's first in line. Is that okay?"
"no problem."
"The three of us are on the same level in the studio, so I arranged them in the order in which we each reached the final step with You. Is there a problem with that?"
“…Never mind, let’s just leave it at that.”
After listening to Eriri Sawamura's explanation, Utaha Kasumigaoka finally accepted it, put the bracelet on her hand, and then turned her attention to the gift given by Megumi Kato.
As the most important person, Yuu Muto’s gift should naturally be saved for last.
Kato Megumi's gift was a bit explosive, it was a parenting manual and some reference books related to mothers and babies.
"Mei, you..."
"Senior Shiyu is about to graduate from high school, so I prepared these things for you. If You wants to have a child, Senior must get pregnant earlier than Feiying Yuedong and the others."
"Uh..." ×3
Kato Megumi's straightforward and bold words made the two women and one man beside her look surprised, and then the next moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri's eyes shifted to Muto Yu.
"You, do you want a baby?"
"No, no, I'm only a child. I haven't had enough fun yet. Anyway, hurry up and open the presents."
Kasumigaoka Utaha then continued and opened the last Christmas gift given by Muto Yu.
She was wearing a black long skirt underneath, but it was a little too translucent. It was obviously not something that could be worn in front of outsiders. Muto Yu's thoughts were obvious.
"Like it?"
"I think it's you who likes it, Yuu."
After giving Yu Muto a coquettish look, Utaha Kasumigaoka prepared to change into the clothes and show him the actual effect. After all, clothes are meant to be worn.
"It's my turn now."
Kato Megumi looked at the three gift boxes in front of her, thought for a moment, and started opening them from left to right, starting with Kasumigaoka Utaha's.
This one is also the largest. After opening it, it contains a high-end brand keyboard, which is widely praised among programmers. It also has cute stickers. The overall theme is pink and white. Cute keyboard.
As Kato Megumi is characterized by being "ordinary", it is natural that she would like such cute things.
"Thank you, Shiyu-senpai. I like it very much."
Then there was Yu Muto’s gift. Actually, I had some thoughts about it even before I opened it. After opening it, I saw a white dress similar to the one worn by Utaha Kasumigaoka.
Eriri Sawamura, who was standing by, took a look and then her gaze fell on the gift box belonging to Yuu Muto in front of her, and then she began to wonder what kind of Christmas gift the other party had prepared for her.
It can't be half black and half white, right? That's a bit too weird!
"Yuu, I like it very much."
"Well, I'm also looking forward to seeing you wearing this outfit."
Hearing Yu Muto's straightforward words, even the usually calm Kato Megumi couldn't help blushing. She quickly picked up Eriri Sawamura's gift and opened it.
As expected, it was the same platinum bracelet, but in addition to that, there was also a pair of Bluetooth headphones, which Kato Megumi also liked very much.
According to the order, it was Yuu Muto's turn to open the presents next. The three girls became nervous. After all, none of them wanted their presents to be inferior to others.
"Uh……"
When Yu Muto reaches out to Kato Megumi's gift box, the other two will show disappointed expressions. But when he reaches out to Eriri Sawamura, the other two will still show lost expressions.
"Ahem, then I'll open the gifts in the order the words are engraved on the bracelet."
Muto Yu casually said that Sawamura Eriri had already explained the order of arrangement, which finally calmed the three of them down.
Kato Megumi's gift was a photo album. After Muto Yu opened it, he found that it contained various photos of everyone in Alpha Studio, some individual photos, some group photos. In short, they were all memories left since everyone met.
"I will keep this beautiful memory well."
"Ah."
Seeing the satisfied smile on Muto Yu's face, Kato Megumi nodded slightly. Sawamura Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha on the side were saying things like "When was this taken?", "Megumi is so cunning", "Damn, why didn't I think of that?"
But soon, the three girls' attention was focused on Yuu Muto, and then on Eriri Sawamura's gift.
As always, there was a platinum bracelet and a comic manuscript. Yu Muto flipped through it and found that it was a short comic for all ages. The protagonists in it were everyone in Alpha Studio. It was a work that embodied Eriri Sawamura's beautiful vision of the future.
Kasumigaoka Utaha watched all this and gritted her teeth secretly. How could they all be so gift-giving? Although she had thought about it, that was pretty much it.
"It's very good. My painting skills have also improved. I am very satisfied."
"Hehe, it's all thanks to You's good teaching."
After receiving the praise, Eriri Sawamura giggled for a while, and then it was Kasumigaoka Utaha's turn to receive the gift.
Chapter 262: Reflecting the Beauty of Clothes
Utaha Kasumigaoka's gift was a handwritten short story. Her handwriting was very beautiful, with the softness of a girl and a sense of grandeur.
The content of the novel is also the future story of four people, some trivial family matters. Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri are still bickering, and Kato Megumi is watching all this with her three daughters, and then tells her three half-sisters what kind of legendary figure their father is.
Anyway, it was a pretty good gift. Finally, it was Eriri Sawamura's turn. She immediately opened the gift from Yu Muto.
Then the expectant expression gradually became strange. After seeing the real thing in the gift box, the expressions of Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi also became extremely strange.
There were only three gifts that Yu Muto gave: a box of Band-Aids, and a pair of black and white over-the-knee socks.
"Yuu... this, this..."
"Will you put it on for me?"
"Ah."
Listening to Yu Muto's affectionate words, Eriri Sawamura finally agreed in a weak voice. There was no other way, since she was completely unable to live without him.
Next were the gifts for Kato Megumi and Kasumigaoka Utaha. The former's gift was a fairly normal ladies' watch, while the latter's was a high-end hand-painted pen.
Eriri Sawamura didn't feel disappointed. They were all thoughtful gifts from everyone. Besides, if the gifts from both of them were as surprising as those from Yuu Muto, she might have found it hard to accept them.
Needless to say, in order to maximize the beauty of the clothes, the three girls only wore the gifts given to them by Muto Yu.
....................................
A few days after Christmas, the school trip began. School trips are only for second-year high school students, but last year, Kasumigaoka Utaha took a leave of absence and didn't go because she had to accompany everyone from Alpha Studio to a training camp.
At the beginning, Yu Muto had promised to help the other party make up for this experience, and he didn't need to arrange his own itinerary or pay some sponsorship to the school. In addition, with his current fame and status, this matter was accomplished quite easily.
As a senior high school student, Kasumigaoka Utaha temporarily joined the school trip of the second-year high school students. In order to consider the situation of Eriri Sawamura being alone, she was asked to temporarily join her class.
If Kasumigaoka Utaha also came to the class that Muto Yu was in, wouldn't it be too pitiful for Sawamura Eriri to be alone?
We climbed the mountain to visit the shrine, looked out at the view, and of course took a lot of photos, and then the school trip slowly came to an end.
There are still a few days before the New Year, and the three of them just stayed at Muto Yu's house and refused to leave. The girls' families didn't care much about them, after all, they are all grown up now.
The most important point about independence is financial independence. If you can't do this, all the talk about being mature, grown up and independent is fake.
Financial independence is the prerequisite for everything!
"You, welcome back."
"Ah."
After Eagle Leap's annual meeting, Muto Yuu went to other studios to make appearances, especially the former Musashino Animation production company, now Delta Studio, and the former Rouge En Rouge fan club, now Beta Studio.
As these two new companies he acquired in the second half of this year, it is natural for him to show up.
"Speaking of which, how does the president plan to arrange my time this year?"
During dinner, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly asked Muto Yuu that she had actually already obtained a place in a key university.
And even if she didn't get a direct admission place, she could still easily get an admission letter from a key university like Waseda University if she took the exam with her real ability.
But Kasumigaoka Utaha obviously does not plan to go to college. She wants to continue working in Alpha Studio with Muto Yu.
As for literature, she had asked her original teacher, the middle-aged female writer of traditional literature, to introduce her to a very prestigious and powerful senior in traditional literature of Sakura Empire.
Normally, it would be impossible for Utaha Kasumigaoka to receive the other party's teaching, but her rapid growth during this period has proved her potential, and the old man's granddaughter is a loyal fan of "To the Moon" and "Clannad".
Of course, there were many other factors, including Yuu Muto, which finally led to Kasumigaoka Utaha being connected to this line.
Muto Yuya has read the work of that senior, and it should be at the level of about Lv4.7. He has good talent in himself, and he has been studying in this field for a lifetime. It is quite impressive that he has achieved such an achievement.
Of course, that's all. The last few steps to reach the Lv5 realm seem to be within reach, but in fact they are a world away. However, it is more than enough to teach and support Kasumigaoka Utaha to continue to quickly improve her literary level.
"How about... go to Feiying Yuedong first. I'll get you a workstation. Of course, if you'd like, you can stay with me temporarily. I'll go to school during the day, and you can work at home. At night..."
Needless to say, Kasumigaoka Utaha also understood what happened next. After thinking for a moment, she realized that the answer to this question had been obvious from the beginning.
"I chose to stay at Yuu's house."
However, the only regret that Kasumigaoka Utaha felt was that her cooking skills were really average. It was a far cry from that of Muto Yu, who was like a god of cooking, and she was not even as good as Kato Megumi, which made her feel helpless.
“I want to live here too!”
After hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's choice, Sawamura Eriri suddenly stood up, and Kato Megumi blinked her eyes. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was very clear.
"Then let's go together."
The girls who usually only come here to stay on weekends seem to have decided to move in directly in the new year?
Of course, Muto Yu would not refuse, after all, this was a good thing for him.
By the way, the winter break of the senior year is over, and she no longer needs to go to school for the third semester, so Kasumigaoka Utaha has actually graduated from high school.
Normally, high school students who are preparing to go to college have already passed the national unified examination at this time, and use this time to continue self-study and prepare for the entrance examination of the university they want to apply for.
After passing the entrance exam, there is still an interview. In short, this process is quite cumbersome, but it has nothing to do with Yu Muto and the people around him.
