“Heh heh…”
Even with Aki Tsukishiro’s extraordinary hearing,
he could still clearly hear the almost broken, low laughter of Matsumoto Sayuri.
Matsumoto Sayuri, who had just finished touching up her makeup in the restroom,
heard that someone else seemed to have come to the lounge, and was about to open the door to go out.
As a result, she saw the intimate scene between Hiei Eri and Aki Tsukishiro.
Perhaps because she was by Aki Tsukishiro’s side,
Hiei Eri could completely relax.
She didn’t even hear the soft click of the restroom switch.
Although Aki Tsukishiro wasn’t particularly flustered,
he felt like he was about to crash and burn.
Hiei Eri naturally didn’t know.
In a restroom within the lounge,
there was another woman secretly watching them.
“On my way to the lounge just now, I ran into the bride. She was very pretty, and her wedding dress was beautiful too.”
Speaking of the bride wearing a white wedding dress,
Hiei Eri’s eyes flashed with a hint of longing.
Although she knew that she and Aki Tsukishiro would probably not be able to enter the wedding hall like ordinary couples,
after all, if it came to that,
Ran Mouri would probably not agree.
She sighed inwardly.
Seeing Hiei Eri’s slightly low spirits,
Aki Tsukishiro lowered his head, resting his chin on her head.
He said softly, “Actually, I’m also looking forward to seeing Aunt Eri in a beautiful, holy wedding dress. She would definitely be more beautiful than the bride.”
At this moment, after saying these words,
Aki Tsukishiro felt the sharpness of the gaze on his back intensify.
He just wanted to say to Matsumoto Sayuri, “Do you think I still have a chance?”
Just when Aki Tsukishiro and Hiei Eri were enjoying a tender moment,
the door to the lounge was knocked on again.
“Ms. Matsumoto, are you in the lounge?”
The voices of Ran Mouri and Suzuki Sonoko came from outside.
Hiei Eri was startled. What was going on? Why were Ran Mouri and Suzuki Sonoko also attending the wedding!?
She hurriedly left Aki Tsukishiro’s embrace.
Looking at the lounge restroom, she quickly walked over, wanting to hide inside.
“…” Aki Tsukishiro wanted to say it was unnecessary.
But as soon as Hiei Eri heard Ran Mouri’s voice, she instinctively wanted to avoid her.
Seeing that Hiei Eri’s hand was already on the restroom door handle,
a large “DANGER” sign appeared on Aki Tsukishiro’s head.
Cough, no big deal.
Even if something did happen,
a mere machete wouldn’t pose any threat to this demon. I can still heal at super speed.
Lost in thought, Aki Tsukishiro silently mused.
“Maybe I should practice my time-stopping skills a few more times tonight?”
If Hiei Eri and Matsumoto Sayuri were to break down a few more times,
perhaps they would act like Miyano Akemi, saying things that would need rescuing in a daze?
Maybe he could reach an unequal agreement?
“Ran, Sonoko, come in.”
“Huh, Tsukishiro-kun, you’re here? No wonder I couldn’t find you outside.”
Suzuki Sonoko was probably also influenced by the wedding atmosphere.
For a moment, she didn’t pay attention to Ran Mouri.
Excitedly, she walked up and hugged Aki Tsukishiro’s arm, leaning her face against his shoulder.
Ran Mouri looked at this scene, her eyes flashing with an unusual light.
She stared at Suzuki Sonoko’s smile, wondering what she was thinking.
________
“Hello, are you Ms. Hiei Eri?”
After Hiei Eri hid in the restroom, she realized that there was no need for her to hide.
Ran Mouri and Suzuki Sonoko wouldn’t think too much about it.
However, when she heard a voice behind her,
Hiei Eri noticed that there was another woman in the restroom.
A look of surprise appeared on her face.
“Hello, who are you?”
Turning around, she met Matsumoto Sayuri’s eyes.
Hiei Eri took a look at Matsumoto Sayuri.
Unlike the intellectual beauty of ordinary teachers,
because she was a music teacher in the arts department,
Matsumoto Sayuri’s temperament was relatively gentle.
Matsumoto Sayuri looked at Hiei Eri too,
her eyes flashing with admiration.
Her long brown hair was tied up behind her head, and because she had hurriedly left Aki Tsukishiro’s embrace,
a few strands of hair had fallen around her ears, and there was still a blush left at her temples.
This added a hint of fragility to the elegant and cold face of the Ice Queen.
Even Matsumoto Sayuri
felt drawn to this dignified and beautiful mature woman.
But thinking about how she had just occupied Aki Tsukishiro’s embrace,
Matsumoto Sayuri felt a little suffocated. “That guy is a jerk.”
Hiei Eri was actually a little nervous.
She didn’t know if this unfamiliar woman
had seen her intimate actions with Aki Tsukishiro in the restroom.
Had she heard their conversation?
Moreover, she had addressed her by name.
She clearly knew her!
So who was she?
Did she know about her social circle?
“I’m Matsumoto Sayuri, Aki-kun’s middle school music teacher.
I also taught Mouri-san later on. I’ve met you before.”
Matsumoto Sayuri turned around, not letting Hiei Eri see her meaningful gaze.
“I’m the bridesmaid who’s going to be on stage later. I’m a little nervous, so I came to see if I could touch up my makeup.”
Hiei Eri still maintained a smile on her face.
She wasn’t sure if Matsumoto Sayuri had noticed anything.
Still pretending to be calm, she didn’t show any sign of fear.
“Yes, I came here too hastily. Like Ms. Matsumoto, I came to touch up my makeup too.”
Hearing Hiei Eri’s words, Matsumoto Sayuri gave her a strange look.
To a certain extent, they were indeed alike.
Outside, Ran Mouri and Suzuki Sonoko curiously asked.
“Tsukishiro-kun, are you here alone? Where did Ms. Matsumoto go?
The wedding is about to start soon, and Teacher Takeuchi asked us to look for her.”
“She’s in the restroom putting on makeup.” Aki Tsukishiro’s voice was subtle.
Through his demonic aura, he sensed that the two girls didn’t seem to have any unpleasantries.
Then, like Suzuki Sonoko, Ran Mouri also hooked onto his other arm.
“Tsukishiro-kun, did you see Ms. Matsumoto just now? Even though it’s a bridesmaid dress, she looks pretty!”
“…” Now, Aki Tsukishiro felt two icy gazes fixed on his back.
Perhaps he shouldn’t have come to this wedding today.
