Chapter 202: Kisaki Eri: You called me Aunt?

As if judging whether his words were true or false.

"I tried spraying it beforehand."

Hoshino Ki was seen instantly pulling a small box from behind his back.

"???"

She hadn't seen Hoshino Ki carrying anything just now.

Mouri Ran looked confused as she craned her neck to look behind Hoshino Ki.

It was empty!

She looked at the small box in front of her and accepted it, looking completely bewildered.

"Thank you, Ki!"

If it were in the past, Mouri Ran wouldn't have accepted it.

But times were different now!

She was also a girl with her own little secrets.

Fragrance was indeed a good thing.

Since it was carefully selected by Hoshino Ki and he was even willing to spray it on himself,

it must be a scent he found very meaningful.

Hoshino Ki placed the perfume in Mouri Ran's palm.

He had bought several bottles at once while shopping with Miyano Akemi.

He had originally intended to put them in the car as air fresheners.

Since Mouri Ran liked it, he would give her a bottle.

It was late at night, not suitable for eating heavy food.

The two discussed it and decided to go have porridge.

They arrived at a restaurant.

Besides the main dish, they also ordered a few side dishes.

Mouri Ran wasn't hungry, but she didn't want Hoshino Ki to see that.

So she bit the bullet and ordered a small portion of porridge.

"You're only eating this little?"

Mouri Ran had practiced karate for years, so her body consumed energy very quickly.

Therefore, her appetite was double that of an ordinary girl.

Sufficient energy was one of the important conditions for her to maintain her best state on the competition field.

Mouri Ran paused slightly.

She rubbed her stomach:

"I've been thinking about tomorrow's competition, I'm a bit nervous."

"I don't have much of an appetite."

Hoshino Ki raised his hand and covered the back of Mouri Ran's hand:

"Don't be nervous."

His voice was cold yet gentle:

"You will win."

Mouri Ran would indeed win.

Because she was already a national karate champion.

Her combat power was extremely high!

Hoshino Ki had already experienced it the first time he sparred with Mouri Ran.

Among all the girls in the country, Mouri Ran could definitely be called one of the top powerhouses.

"Yeah, thank you, Ki!"

A suspicious red color gradually rose on Mouri Ran's cheeks.

"You must come, we have an agreement!"

Hoshino Ki nodded in agreement:

"Okay!"

After eating, Hoshino Ki took Mouri Ran home.

Just as he walked out of the Mouri Detective Agency,

he ran into an acquaintance.

Hoshino Ki was slightly stunned, staring at Kisaki Eri's cold, exquisite face, and didn't speak for a long time.

Kisaki Eri was also frozen in place.

Afterward, upon realizing, she walked toward Hoshino Ki.

She stood on the steps and looked at Hoshino Ki:

"Hoshino... Ki?"

Hoshino Ki took a step forward.

The distance between the two became closer, and he responded:

"Long time no see, Aunt!"

The last time Kisaki Eri had sent him a message while drunk was the last time.

Hoshino Ki hadn't expected to run into her.

At least not at the entrance of the Mouri Detective Agency.

"Going in?"

Hoshino Ki stepped aside to signal.

Kisaki Eri said "Mhm."

She looked at Hoshino Ki's calm expression, her look somewhat complex:

"Hoshino Ki, why are you here?"

Hoshino Ki's pitch-black pupils looked straight at her.

His gaze was upright and unyielding:

"Ran invited me to watch her competition."

"I'm taking her home."

Ran had a karate competition?

Why hadn't she told her, her mother?

It seemed her daughter really liked Hoshino Ki.

And Hoshino Ki... he was actually able to agree to Ran's request to watch the competition during such a peak of public opinion.

One had to know that there would be many people at the competition venue.

Didn't he always hate crowded places?

Hoshino Ki raised his arm to check his watch:

"I'm leaving first."

"Mhm."

Kisaki Eri paused slightly.

She had no reason to keep Hoshino Ki, so she could only turn her body and say in a low voice:

"Go ahead."

Hoshino Ki stepped up the stairs, about to pass by Kisaki Eri.

His wrist was suddenly grabbed tightly by her, but soon, she let go again.

Hoshino Ki frowned slightly:

"What's wrong?"

Kisaki Eri took a deep breath:

"Hoshino Ki, are you... are you getting along well with Ran?"

Mouri Ran?

Hoshino Ki's frown deepened.

"What do you want to say?"

Kisaki Eri couldn't gauge Hoshino Ki's attitude, so she could only smile bitterly:

"Hoshino Ki, actually, I came today, not..."

As she spoke, her voice gradually lowered.

Kisaki Eri finally closed her mouth.

What was the use of saying these things now?

What was she doing, as an aunt!

Or even as a mother.

To actually harbor such fantasies about her daughter's boyfriend!

But...

She was very unwilling; was she jealous?

Was she supposed to be jealous of her own daughter?

If she had to blame someone, she should blame fate!

It was she herself who wasn't brave enough, and she who had too many concerns.

Hoshino Ki must hate her very much now, right?

Kisaki Eri didn't say anything more, and even took a step back.

She made enough room for Hoshino Ki.

Hoshino Ki's pitch-black eyes sank.

What was wrong with this woman, Kisaki Eri?

Every time she said half and left half, keeping people in suspense!

Kisaki Eri took a step back.

Hoshino Ki took a step forward, until he forced her into a corner with no way out.

He said coldly:

"What do you want to say?"

Kisaki Eri silently met Hoshino Ki's gaze.

Her lips parted, but no sound came out.

There was simply too much she wanted to say.

Hoshino Ki looked at her fixedly for a long time.

His pitch-black pupils revealed a hint of mockery:

"You wouldn't be wanting to say..."

"You're here to get a divorce, right?"

Kisaki Eri's breathing suddenly choked.
