Chapter 320
Kitakami Yoru explained.
"Mom, don't talk about me falling and getting hurt. I was already unlucky enough, and you're still..."
Yuigahama Yui complained, cutting off the topic.
After the car fell silent.
She tugged at her clothes and muttered to herself: "How come it feels like Mom and Kitakami-kun have a better relationship than I do with Kitakami-kun..."
"I only just started calling him Kitakami-kun..."
Less than twenty minutes later.
The group returned to Yuigahama Yui's home.
It was a large detached house, slightly smaller than Kitakami Yoru's home.
"Woof... woof..."
As soon as they got out of the car, Sablé, the dog Yuigahama Yui raised, ran over, barking happily.
It circled Kitakami Yoru's ankles, panting with its tongue out.
"Sablé, we're home." Yuigahama Yui held the car door handle and stepped out.
Sablé obediently ran off.
"Let's go inside, Kitakami-kun," Yuigahama Yui said, looking at Kitakami Yoru.
"Okay."
He followed behind Yuigahama Yui, pulled open the door, and entered the entryway.
At the entrance, there were at least twenty pairs of various shoes belonging to the mother and daughter.
There wasn't a single trace of a man's life.
Kitakami Yoru finally managed to dig out a dusty pair of large-sized slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on.
He went to the living room and sat down.
"Just a moment."
Yuigahama Kaho locked the car and came in afterward.
She went to the kitchen to bring out a plate of fruit and drinks for Kitakami Yoru, then hurried upstairs.
"What did the lady go to get?"
Kitakami Yoru asked Yuigahama Yui curiously.
"Probably the medicine kit. Don't worry about her, Kitakami-kun, have some fruit."
Yuigahama Yui looked back toward the upstairs.
"Is it not serious? Shouldn't you go to a clinic or hospital to get it checked?"
Kitakami Yoru nodded casually, his heart feeling increasingly strange.
"Yuigahama-san, when no one's around, I call your mom 'big sister'..."
"How did the family hierarchy get so messed up..."
"No need. My mom used to be a nurse; she can handle simple wounds."
Yuigahama Yui shook her head gently.
"A nurse...?"
Hearing this, Kitakami Yoru's mind automatically conjured an image of Yuigahama Kaho in a conservative nurse's uniform.
The clothes were very conservative, the same style used in hospitals.
But on Yuigahama Kaho, just thinking about it was incredibly erotic...
"Nurse big sister...?"
Kitakami Yoru's breathing grew heavy, and he closed his eyes, forcing himself not to let his thoughts run wild.
Before long.
Yuigahama Kaho walked down carrying a large medicine kit, sat down beside Yuigahama Yui, and signaled for her to lift her leg.
"Let me see how bad the scrape is. It won't be good if it leaves a scar."
After opening the medicine box, Xiang Xiang Yingli muttered a word, then skillfully laid it flat and opened it.
She pulled out a pair of sterile gloves.
Actually... it wasn't really necessary.
After putting them on, she gently removed the bandage from Yuigahama Yui's wound.
It was a scrape with broken skin, and the outer edge of the wound seemed to have some bruising.
"Kitakami-kun, could you please use your phone to shine a light on Yui's wound? I need to see it clearly."
After testing it by pressing gently with her hand, Yuigahama Kaho turned to Kitakami Yoru and said.
Kitakami Yoru acted quickly, walking over and watching with genuine curiosity.
"Does it hurt? There's some blood that hasn't dissipated; be careful not to get it wet."
Yuigahama Kaho applied a little more pressure as she looked at Yuigahama Yui.
"Ah... mm..."
Yuigahama Yui suddenly let out a very foul-play-like moan, and it was a nasal hum.
After humming, she realized that things weren't the same as usual at home.
It wasn't just her mom and herself.
Today, Kitakami-kun was also there, holding his phone to provide light.
Yuigahama Kaho didn't speak, her brows furrowing in concern.
She dipped a cotton swab in saline and gently wiped the wound.
She cleaned it with a cotton ball.
She switched to disinfectant iodine, carefully applying it in three circles.
Finally, she sprayed a bit of medicinal spray.
Kitakami Yoru guessed it was likely a pain-relieving spray, or perhaps an anti-inflammatory one.
He didn't move much.
Applying medicine, wrapping it up.
Yuigahama Kaho moved with fluid motions, showing how skilled she was.
Finally, she cut a large piece of gauze, finished the bandaging, clapped her hands, and finally smiled.
"Remember to wrap it with plastic wrap when you shower tonight to prevent water from getting in. Remind me to change the dressing tomorrow night."
"Kept you waiting, Kitakami-kun?"
Clapping her hands, Yuigahama Kaho looked up gently at Kitakami Yoru.
"No... not at all... that was amazing..."
Kitakami Yoru's reaction was a beat slow.
"I'm quite rusty, not amazing at all."
Yuigahama Kaho was humble with her words, but in reality, she felt happy.
In a daze, Yuigahama Yui found Kitakami Yoru and her mom to be very strange; she always felt there was some unspeakable secret between them.
"I'm going out to buy groceries, you two sit."
Yuigahama Kaho put away the medicine kit.
"I'm going to take a shower."
Yuigahama Yui quickly replied.
"Is that so..."
Yuigahama Kaho stood up, wondering if it was rude to leave the guest alone.
"How about Kitakami-kun keeps me company to the supermarket, and I can ask him what he likes to eat."
"He lives near Shuchiin, which isn't exactly close, and he's bringing Yui back tonight..."
With a plan in mind, Yuigahama Kaho smiled at Kitakami Yoru: "Kitakami-kun, would you like to keep... the lady company to buy some groceries?"
69: Is it enough to just act spoiled toward big sister?
"Can I refuse this?"
"Probably not, do I want to go..."
A drop of cold sweat seemed to slide down Kitakami Yoru's handsome face.
Calculating in his heart, he hesitated, not knowing whether he should agree.
"You're alone at home, and you have nothing to do, right?"
"Why not help me out?"
Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui continued.
"Then... alright, I'll go. Big sister, I'll go."
Since things had reached this point, Kitakami Yoru figured it was absolutely impossible to refuse, so he gritted his teeth and replied.
He took the opportunity to change his address to "big sister" while Yuigahama Yui, the daughter, wasn't around.
Anyway, she was so young, should he call her "Mom" along with Yuigahama Yui?
"Oh... ah..."
Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui thought she had misheard for a moment, let out a soft cry, and her soft, tender mouth opened slightly.
Revealing the owner's surprise.
Last time she joked with Kitakami Yoru, and as they joked, she felt annoyed at being called "Auntie" because it sounded old.
As a result...
"Kitakami-kun has kept this matter in mind all along..."
"Big sister it is then. I'm still young anyway, and I'm not the one losing out..."
Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui put away the strange look in her gentle, water-like eyes and accepted Kitakami Yoru's address.
She was even a little happy.
"Wait a moment, Kitakami-kun, I'll put away the medicine kit."
Nodding gently in response, Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui carried the medicine kit back first.
After drinking some water, she came down and drove with Kitakami Yoru to the supermarket.
There was an Aeon supermarket nearby, a five-minute drive away.
"Do you need... big... big sister to take you home later?"
Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui skillfully reversed into the parking spot, looked at the rearview mirror, thought of Kitakami Yoru, and asked.
While speaking, she originally wanted to refer to herself as "Auntie" and treat herself as an elder.
But when the words reached her lips, she remembered Kitakami Yoru calling her "big sister" just now, and she stammered, also referring to herself as "big sister."
"No one knows, and Kitakami-kun won't go around talking about it..."
"If he tells Yui, I, as a mother, will lose face. Hmph, heh..."
Exhaling lightly through her nose, Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui, whose small, tender hands were still perfectly maintained despite her age, gripped the steering wheel tightly and looked ahead.
"I can just take the train back."
"Since Yuigahama-san is injured, big sister should spend more time with her."
After considering for a few seconds, Kitakami Yoru shook his head and refused.
"Won't it be too late?"
Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui let go of the steering wheel, unbuckled her seatbelt, and the ample chest bound up in front of her jumped, completely liberated.
"No, it won't be a bother to you, big sister."
Kitakami Yoru smiled reluctantly and quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Why haven't you changed your clothes? Shopping at the supermarket in a yoga outfit?"
Getting out of the car.
The two walked into the Aeon supermarket.
Aeon is a well-known multinational chain of large supermarkets.
Ikebukuro is also one of Tokyo's bustling commercial districts, with many young people.
At this time of day, the supermarket was quite lively.
"What does Kitakami-kun like to eat? Don't be shy."
Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui pushed a shopping cart and asked Kitakami Yoru.
"Big sister, you decide. I don't mind."
Kitakami Yoru spread his hands again.
"Then I'll go with my preferences. Tonight..."
"Let's have sukiyaki. It's too late, and I don't know how long it would take to cook a full meal."
Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui pushed the cart and walked in front.
Arriving at the vegetable section, the shelves were basically full of fresh produce.
Kitakami Yoru saw that the enoki mushrooms were fresh, grabbed a pack, and threw it into the shopping cart.
Seeing this, Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui picked some fresh greens, turned to Kitakami Yoru, and instructed: "Kitakami-kun, pick another bag of king oyster mushrooms. Yui and I love king oyster mushrooms very much; we often eat them together."
"Oh, okay."
Kitakami Yoru, having nothing to do, responded, went to the shelf, rummaged through it, picked up a bag of king oyster mushrooms, and weighed them a few times.
The size, weight, and shape were all about the same...
A hint of strangeness flashed across his expression, and Kitakami Yoru shook his head vigorously and put the king oyster mushrooms into the shopping cart.
After walking halfway through the vegetable section, he grabbed another bag of spinach and onions.
For three people, there was actually no need to buy too many vegetables.
Meat, especially beef and excellent cuts of pork belly, was the main event.
Seafood was also a must.
"A4 Wagyu..."
Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui pushed the shopping cart to the fresh meat section.
Boxes of Wagyu beef, with beautiful color, cut and labeled, were neatly stacked.
Various Wagyu beef, dazzling to the eyes, were available for people to choose from at will.
Many people have a misconception that Japanese Wagyu beef is very expensive.
Actually, it's not.
Wagyu comes from many places and different breeds.
Even A5-grade Wagyu can be bought for three or four thousand yen a box, enough for a meal.
Basically, small supermarkets sell it.
It's even common at street stalls; for example, Tsukiji Market has a stall specializing in selling Wagyu skewers.
Different varieties, types, cuts, beef ribs, etc...
Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui and Kitakami Yoru took a little of everything.
"Kitakami-kun, see if you need anything else?"
Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui felt it was about enough and asked for Kitakami Yoru's opinion.
"Do you have butter, spices, and those things at home?"
Kitakami Yoru replied.
"We have everything. If there's anything else you want to eat, just tell big sister."
"Otherwise, let's buy a little seafood and go back."
Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui said with a smile.
"No, that's all."
Kitakami Yoru shook his head.
Arriving at the seafood section.
It was a bit damp around there.
Accompanying Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui, Kitakami Yoru suddenly stopped and looked at a sign in front of him.
Then, he looked into the water tank and even picked up a small net to scoop a few times.
"Isn't this the white jade abalone I ate at Eriri's house..."
"Besides black gold abalone, it turns out there's white jade abalone, but the ones in the supermarket are so small..."
Kitakami Yoru lost interest and hung up the net.
The value of abalone is based on its size.
After picking some seafood that was easy to handle, Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui and Kitakami Yoru finally arrived at the deli section and bought some ready-made dishes.
Queuing to pay.
