They are really too low!

Hoshino walked into the living room. Although it had been a long time since she had been there, it still felt very familiar.

"Sit down, let's have some tea." Sayuri Sawamura smiled and gestured to Mi Hoshino. Her smile was as bright as ever, as if time had not left any unsightly marks on her, but instead had amplified her mature charm.

Judging from her appearance alone, it would be hard to believe that she is a married woman who has given birth; she looks more like an older sister to Hoshino Mi.

Hoshino thought that it might be because Sayuri Sawamura took good care of herself. Even when wearing a thick kimono, she could still see the soft lines of a mature woman. Compared to a pure young girl, she had more womanly charm.

However, Hoshino Mi wouldn't comment on it, after all, she was someone else's mother.

"Is Eriri still not up?" Hoshino sat on the sofa opposite her, watching her pour tea, feeling even more uncomfortable.

"She's still upstairs." Sawamura Sayuri pushed her teacup towards him, her fingers slender and white. "Did you see her today because you wanted to play games together?"

"She asked me to come, I don't know anything about it." Hoshino noticed that the tea was quite hot and didn't drink it right away.

"Should I call her down now?" Sayuri Sawamura smiled slightly.

"No need, I'll go up in a bit." Hoshino had just finished speaking when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He seemed to have taken it too seriously; this was someone's daughter's room.

However, Sayuri Sawamura didn't seem to find anything wrong with it, and instead nodded as if it were perfectly natural.

“I was a little worried because you haven’t come over for a while. I wondered if something had happened between you and Eriri.”

"No, our relationship is still as good as before."

"Eh, really?" Sayuri Sawamura blinked. "Seeing how handsome you are now, I thought you already had a girlfriend."

Hoshino remained silent. Would having a girlfriend affect his relationship with Eriri?

"I don't have a girlfriend yet," Hoshino Mi shook her head.

"Why?" Sawamura Sayuri seemed very interested. "I think Miki is very handsome, and he seems to take care of people. He's quite mature and steady. If it were twenty years ago, he would have been my type too."

"You're exaggerating. Actually, Eriri is more popular than me. She's a very popular beauty at school, and there's a long line of people who like her."

Seeing Hoshino's helplessness, Sawamura Sayuri smiled. She wasn't just praising him; she genuinely felt the same way.

Even at their first meeting, Sayuri Sawamura could sense that Hoshino was different from his peers. When Eriri brought him home, Sayuri Sawamura had observed his every move from the side.

Logically speaking, elementary school students are usually quite mischievous, especially boys.

However, Hoshino Mi is different.

Eriri recommended anime to him and rambled on and on, but he actually remembered it all and could even keep up with her without showing the slightest impatience.

Even if Eriri plays house with him, this boy can accept it and will take care of Eriri's feelings. He will do whatever Eriri wants.

Whatever Eriri gives him, he will reciprocate with a gift of equal value.

Sawamura Sayuri initially thought the child had a people-pleasing personality, but later discovered that this was not the case. He simply chose to back down and accommodate Eriri when it came to unimportant matters.

If he goes against his own principles, even if Eriri gets angry, he will simply ignore her. In the end, Eriri has to apologize while she's throwing away little pearls to coax him back.

Such children are very rare, and Sayuri Sawamura found it very interesting, especially when Hoshino Mi led the fight, Eriri's expression and eyes made her feel that her daughter was destined to be dominated by others for the rest of her life.

Childhood sweethearts, such a great relationship and start, yet her own daughter still hasn't won her over, and she even has the nerve to give advice to others in the group on how to win over their crushes. Sayuri Sawamura couldn't help but sigh.

"What beautiful girl? She's only good-looking because I gave birth to her. Otherwise, she'd just be an annoying otaku." Sayuri Sawamura said dismissively. As Eriri's biological mother, she was the one who understood her best.

She acts like a model student in public, but when she gets home she becomes an extremely slovenly homebody who spends her evenings playing with eroge, reading weird comics, and occasionally letting out strange "eh-heh-heh" laughs.

Hoshino could only remain silent about this, because her own mother wasn't much better.

"Oh dear, I suddenly remembered that Eriri told me that Sora is living in your house now, is that true?" Sawamura Sayuri asked as if it were a casual question.

“My aunt and the others are going abroad for a few months, so they asked me to take care of Sora during this time,” Hoshino told the truth.

"Taking care of a beautiful girl seems to be a classic trope, doesn't it, Kimi?" Sawamura Sayuri said with a half-smile. "Did anything 'unexpected' happen?"

Sure enough, he started acting silly again, so Hoshino could only keep a straight face.

"Aunt Sawamura, in reality, there won't be any 'unexpected' plot twists."

"Really? Xiao Qiong is so beautiful, does Jianjun really not have any feelings for her at all?"

"I think Eriri is a very pretty girl too."

"Kimi is a bit cunning. I was clearly asking about Xiao Qiong. I know in my heart whether Eriri is pretty or not. If someone tries to take her away from her, she'll definitely go home and cry her eyes out like a defeated dog."

"..."

"Oh, I was just kidding. Honestly, you keep calling me 'Auntie,' you should call me 'Sister Sayuri,' you know?"

Hoshino seemed to want to look away, while Sawamura Sayuri puffed out her cheeks as if she were angry. This gesture made her seem a bit girlish. On others, it would seem like she was overdoing it, but on her, it felt like a playful older sister teasing a boy.

“I knew it. Seeing that you’ve grown up, you’ll become shy and won’t be close to your older sister anymore.” Sawamura Sayuri seemed very sad. “Compared to my old and faded older sister, a young and pretty girl is definitely more appealing.”

"Who said that? Aunt Sawamura is prettier than them." As she spoke, Hoshino immediately looked somewhat troubled. "But if I continue to call you 'older sister,' wouldn't Eriri become my younger sister?"

After she finished speaking, Sayuri Sawamura was stunned for a moment, and then almost burst out laughing.

"You rascal, if Eriri heard this, she'd probably jump up like a cat with its fur standing on end."

"So it's better not to provoke her."

"Oh my, I see. As expected, you really know her well." Sawamura Sayuri smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, then feigned fear. "But talking behind her back might just get us killed, you know?"

As soon as Sayuri Sawamura finished speaking, Eriri's voice rang out.

"What are you whispering about? What are you doing?!"

Hoshino turned around and saw Eriri standing by the stairs. Somewhat surprised, she wasn't wearing her dowdy tracksuit at home today, but a white shirt and a black pleated skirt, with her legs completely covered in black pantyhose. Hoshino was slightly taken aback.

As soon as she came down, she saw Hoshino Mi and Sawamura Sayuri chatting, whispering to each other. Eriri was very wary and immediately ran over.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Eriri glared at Hoshino Mi first, then looked at her own mother. "Were you talking badly about me just now?"

"You're too nervous. I was just chatting with Ken-kun." Sawamura Sayuri looked completely innocent.

"Hmph, who knows what you two are talking about." Eriri snorted and immediately pulled Hoshino up. "Don't waste time, come upstairs with me."

The girl supported Hoshino's arm, and as she lifted Hoshino up, her small, soft body involuntarily touched her. However, it was too small for Hoshino to feel anything before she was led upstairs.

"Would you like some snacks?" Sawamura Sayuri winked from behind. "I'll bring them up to you in a bit."

"No need!" Eriri said firmly. "I want to play games with this guy... with this guy!"

Hoshino sensed something was off. Why did she pause in the middle? Was she still trying to come up with a reason?

……

Although Eriri is a hardcore anime and manga otaku, her room still has a girlish scent. Hoshino could smell that faint fragrance as soon as he entered, as if to say that he had entered a girl's private space.

Hoshino glanced around; this was still a familiar place, filled with light novels, posters of cute girls, game discs, and figurines.

At that moment, Eriri shoved the game controller into Hoshino's hand and then pushed her onto her bed without saying a word.

"Wait, you called me over just to play games?" Hoshino noticed that the game controller was connected to the computer monitor and the game's initial interface.

"Otherwise, do you want to go on a date with me?" Eriri blushed a little, but still pretended to be impatient. "I've never played this two-player game before, hurry up and help me beat it!"

“Why not call Sora when we play games? Her skills are better than both of ours.” Hoshino tried to get up, but Eriri forcibly pressed her back down on the bed.

"You're so long-winded. What kind of experience would you have if you invited her?" Eriri pouted. "Don't worry, this game is very simple. Even a noob like you can beat it."

Hoshino saw this and his face darkened. When did he become such a noob?

Eriri was already sitting next to him, cross-legged, holding a game controller in her hand, her eyes fixed on the game screen.

Hoshino didn't know what her tricks were, but since he often played along with her antics in the past, he decided to play along for a while today.

The game started quickly. After a simple tutorial, Hoshino understood why Eriri had called him over—because the protagonists were a couple.

Well, it's a two-player game anyway.

Hoshino played for a while and found it to be very simple; he should be able to complete it in no time.

Just as he was thinking this, the fragrance beside him grew stronger and stronger. He glanced over out of the corner of his eye and saw that Eriri had tilted her body over at some point. With a slight movement, their shoulders touched.

Hoshino tried to ignore the feeling, but as he had just told Sayuri Sawamura, Eriri was one of the most beautiful girls in the entire grade.

Putting aside her figure, just looking at her serious profile immediately brings to mind those exquisite dolls. Her fair and delicate skin is so smooth and delicate that it makes you want to pinch it.

Although she wasn't sitting in a duck position, you could still see her thighs wrapped in black stockings. They were slender but not like skinny chopsticks, and they weren't fleshy either. They were well-proportioned and looked like normal thighs.

The girl's calves were now tucked together and crossed, with her thighs pressing down on them. A very noticeable line appeared between her knees. The black pantyhose, which wasn't very thick, showed a hint of flesh. The skirt fell down, barely covering the area between her thighs. The glimpse made it seem as if nothing was covered at all. Two small, bare feet in black stockings were exposed, with her toes and slightly pink soles faintly visible.

Hoshino took a deep breath. He had just done something bad with Kasugano Sora last night and was severely exhausted. He shouldn't feel anything.

The reality seemed to be different from what he had imagined. Eriri was just sitting next to him, and Hoshino felt something licking him, and some unhealthy images flashed before his eyes.

He knew it was because he had been doing too much lately. Having tasted the meat, he naturally wouldn't give up and would want to eat more.

"You haven't been doing much at home lately, have you?" Eriri asked abruptly.

“Didn’t I tell you?” Hoshino said calmly. “I’m practicing guitar, and I also need to write a novel.”

"Hmph, that's not what I was talking about." Eriri was a little annoyed, but she didn't ask any further questions. However, Hoshino knew what she meant.

While Hoshino was pondering how to reply, Eriri had already begun to change the subject.

"By the way, what did you talk about with your mom just now?"

"We didn't talk much. I told her you're a very cute girl and that many people like you, but Aunt Sawamura didn't believe me..."

"Ugh...it's so disgusting!"

Before Hoshino could finish speaking, Eriri immediately moved away from him, hugging his arm with both hands, as if she had suddenly felt a chill, her ears turning red.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Hoshino was speechless. It was one thing for her own mother to react like this, but why did the person herself react the same way?

"I'm not exaggerating, it's disgusting!" Eriri's eyes widened. "Don't you know how disgusting your expression is when you say things like that?"

"Okay, I won't say it again." Hoshino said expressionlessly.

Eriri turned her pretty face away, her face still a little flushed; she had inadvertently overreacted.

"Is it really that cute?" Eriri whispered after a while.

Hoshino pretended not to hear and continued playing his game.

At that moment, a small black-stockinged foot gently reached out and nudged Hoshino, but he didn't react at all, acting as if the foot didn't exist.

The owner of those black-stockinged little feet seemed to be angry, kicking Hoshino several times in a row.

"What are you doing?" Hoshino turned her head, the girl's face was expressionless.

"I don't know, I feel like someone is blocking my way." Eriri was a little angry. That's how girls feel. She can ignore you, she can dislike you, but you can't ignore her.

Moreover, she had just mustered up the courage to ask that question, but Hoshino pretended not to hear it.

As she thought about it, Eriri angrily stomped on Hoshino a few more times.

Hoshino didn't argue with her and patiently sat down on the other side. Eriri immediately moved over and continued to stretch out her legs, kicking Hoshino with her little feet in turn.

Hoshino took her little foot away, but she would quickly come back up, rubbing Hoshino with her toes from time to time, seemingly enjoying it as if she were doing something amazing.

“If you keep moving around, I won’t be polite,” Hoshino said.

After he finished speaking, the girl behind him paused for a moment, then continued to step on Hoshino Mi as if nothing had happened.

Hoshino, seeing that he was about to lose his temper, was about to grab the mischievous little foot when he suddenly stopped.

"Oh dear, you seem to have died. What a noob, getting stuck even in a game like this." Eriri couldn't help but laugh when she noticed Hoshino's character accidentally fall into the abyss. "From elementary school until now, your gaming skills haven't changed at all. You really are a noob!"

Before she could finish laughing, Hoshino grabbed her little foot with a blank expression.

Eriri had never expected him to launch a sudden attack, and she was immediately embarrassed and annoyed, instinctively trying to pull her little foot back.

Hoshino, of course, held on tightly, and in front of her, he reached his fingers toward the soles of her feet.

Seeing this, Eriri began to struggle violently, warning in a slightly panicked tone, "Wait, wait, what are you doing? Let me go right now, you perverted foot fetishist!"

However, her struggles were futile. Once Hoshino started tickling her, the girl trembled all over, her little legs struggled violently, and her little feet kicked at Hoshino, but she could never escape Hoshino's grasp.

Just as Hoshino was about to increase her force, perhaps by coincidence, the girl's small foot, which was kicking haphazardly, passed right through Hoshino's thigh and, through her pants, struck Hoshino's weak spot.

In an instant, just as Hoshino felt the pain, that little black-stockinged foot had already stomped on it several times.

Chapter 100 seems addictive.

"Hahaha, no, no... perverted foot fetishist... stop it now..."

Eriri was still thinking of continuing to struggle, but soon realized that Hoshino Mikoto had stopped and was just holding her ankle tightly. She hadn't come to her senses yet and continued to kick her black-stockinged little feet, as if she had stepped on something. She felt a strange sensation under her feet.

Eriri didn't react until Hoshino Mi pressed down on her little foot. However, she stopped kicking wildly and was panting heavily, her face flushed.
