The other person next to Eri Ri, wasn't that Mochizuki when he was little!
On his equally tender face, a happy smile also bloomed.
Then he happily stood together with little Eri Ri.
At this time, both of them were still adorable little elementary school students.
As Miku, who had also lived with Mochizuki when he was little, she naturally recognized Mochizuki at once.
She didn't expect the two of them to have such a rare photo together, which made Miku feel a little wistful.
Seeing that Miku wasn't speaking, Mochizuki and Eri Ri thought they had neglected her and asked Miku somewhat awkwardly.
The two looked at the desk; Miku seemed to be looking at something.
Eri Ri thought, is she looking at my drawings? Is she impressed by my superb drawing skills?
Hehe, luckily I'm smart enough, I already put away Kashiwagi Eri sensei's masterpiece.
What's on the desk now are just some ordinary drawings.
The two slowly approached.
Mochizuki: "Miku, what are you looking at?"
Miku turned her head and stared at Mochizuki: "A photo."
"A photo?" "A... a photo?"
Mochizuki was a little curious, what kind of photo, Eri Ri's photo?
Eri Ri, on the other hand, was a little confused. Were there any photos on her workbench? How did she not know?
The two came over to Miku.
Mochizuki, who approached first, saw the photo, exclaimed in surprise, and couldn't help but pick up the photo frame.
"Huh... isn't this a photo of me and Eri Ri when we were little?"
"I didn't expect it, Eri Ri, you actually still kept this photo."
Seeing himself as a child, Mochizuki also couldn't help but exclaim.
I was already this handsome when I was a kid.
"Huh?"
"Th... th... this photo, how is it here!"
It must be Mom...
Eri Ri's smugness from showing off her collection just now completely vanished, leaving only panic, nervousness, and shyness.
She flailed her arms and legs, unable to even speak.
Eri Ri: What on earth is going on!
She clearly hid this photo, how could she possibly put a photo of the two of them on her workbench!
Wouldn't that mean seeing it every day?
What's more, now that Mochizuki is here, wouldn't it be easy for him to misunderstand that she...
Eri Ri felt like her brain was going to shut down.
Meanwhile, Aunt Sayuri, who was preparing the meal in the kitchen, was happily humming a tune.
Eri Ri, Mom can only help you this much!
As for Miku, seeing how happy Mochizuki was, the jealousy in her heart grew stronger, overshadowing the joy of seeing the photo of Mochizuki as a child.
"Eri Ri, why are you so nervous? Are you shy?
Or are you afraid of others seeing you as a child? You haven't changed much from when you were little!"
"I am not!"
Eri Ri snatched the photo, looked at it herself, and then threw it back to Mochizuki.
"It's... it's just a photo!"
"Mom must have taken it out when she was tidying up, I wasn't keeping it."
"Besides, as childhood friends, what's wrong with a photo?"
Mochizuki spread his hands helplessly: "Yes, yes, yes."
Eri Ri spoke tsundere-like, and when she mentioned childhood friends, she subtly glanced at the expressionless Miku.
Miku naturally also felt Eri Ri's gaze, which made Miku unable to help but think.
Does she have photos taken with Mochizuki when they were little?
Naturally, she has taken photos, but not just the two of them, but all six of them.
At worst, it seems there were also photos taken with three people.
In short, there were no photos of just the two of them.
Miku puffed up her cheeks.
Moreover, because The Five Sisters dressed exactly the same when they were little, Miku herself might not even be able to tell which one in the photo is her!
Mochizuki: "Speaking of which, why don't I see your drawings?"
Coming to Eri Ri's drawing desk, Mochizuki just thought of Kashiwagi Eri sensei's masterpiece and wanted to have a good look at it.
"Drawings? Aren't they right here!"
Eri Ri pointed to the ordinary drawings on the desk and stared at Mochizuki with a warning look.
The meaning was already very clear.
"These are just very ordinary works!"
Mochizuki naturally knew Eri Ri's thoughts and felt a little regretful.
Alright, Miku is still here!
It wouldn't be good for Eri Ri to lead Miku astray.
I'll take a look next time I have a chance.
If I keep talking, Eri Ri might blow up.
Miku was a little strange.
In her opinion, these drawings weren't ordinary either: "Aren't they drawn quite well?"
After all, Eri Ri is also a professional doujin artist, although she is better at drawing some erotic works.
But her basic drawing skills are up to par, and her drawing technique is even better than many ordinary painters.
...Not long after, Aunt Sayuri informed them that the meal was ready and they could eat.
The few of them came to the dining room.
Four sets of bowls and chopsticks were already prepared on the luxurious dining table.
Aunt Sayuri explained: "Eri Ri's dad might not be back so soon because of work, don't worry about him, let's eat first."
After all, as the person in charge of the embassy, Eri Ri's father is quite busy and often cannot get off work on time.
Overtime is already the norm.
Sometimes, when he comes back at night, he can only eat leftovers.
Eri Ri also often eats only with her mother, and the two of them have long been used to it.
