Not being married or even in a relationship at the age of 26 might not be a big deal in the eyes of the younger generation, but in the eyes of the older generation of housewives, it was a serious problem.

Kazuru could understand her mother's thoughts.

But she didn't intend to compromise.

Sure enough, whether it was marriage or love, one had to find someone they liked.

To be honest, she had already guessed the reason why her mother had asked her to come back this time when she received the call.

Blind dates were her mother's usual method.

The first time, he had lied to her that he was having dinner with a relative, but when he arrived, he found out that it was a complete stranger.

The second time, he used all kinds of threats and promises. If he didn't come, he wouldn't be allowed to go home during the New Year.

.....

This time, he was taking the path of kindness.

"Mom," Kazuru said expressionlessly. "Did you arrange a blind date?"

A straight ball!

At the mention of this, her mother's chatterbox opened up. "This time, Mom really put in a lot of effort to choose.

That child is the same age as you, and his parents live in the same neighborhood as us.

Most importantly, he had a good job and a good income.

He was a professional hero and had his own law firm.

Don't you like good-looking children? I guarantee that the child this time will definitely be good-looking! "

Kazuru was speechless.

To be honest, she didn't have much confidence in her mother's "good looks".

She also thought that the last person looked good, but when they met, she found out that he was a greasy-haired civil servant.

Did the mother and daughter have some disagreement about the word "good-looking"?

But facing her mother's expectant eyes, Kazuru really couldn't say anything to refuse.

Her mother was a housewife whose life revolved around her husband and children. At this age, she only hoped that her child would get married soon and give birth to a grandson for her.

"Ah … It's just a meeting. There's nothing to lose."

Kazuru thought.

*****

At noon, Kazuru was taken to a delicately decorated restaurant by her mother.

"In the private room." His mother pointed at the private room in the restaurant and said.

The food here looked delicious.

When her mother wasn't paying attention, Kazuru glanced at the menu on the wall.

If this meal was treated by the other party, it wouldn't be a loss.

Her mother pulled her out of the private room.

"It's me, Aoi."

"Ah, please come in!"

A woman with cream-colored hair opened the door.

Yihe secretly looked at her. Although this auntie was a bit old, she took good care of herself. Moreover, she was really good-looking.

Speaking of which, doesn't this auntie look a little familiar?

As expected — —

As soon as they entered the room, the old man sitting motionlessly at the table was definitely Explode.

Kazuru looked at him in surprise. She suddenly felt that Tokyo was too small.

She hadn't seen him for three days straight …

Of course, Explode's eyes widened when he saw her.

'Isn't this the woman next door?'

"Do you know each other?" Mrs.Explode keenly noticed the change in the two young men's expressions.

Kazuru could only nod. "Yes, Mr. Explode and I are neighbors. I live across from him."

The two mothers instantly exchanged glances and seemed to have reached a consensus.

"Quick, take a seat!"

Mrs.Explode warmly invited Kazuru to sit down. She sat directly across from Explode.

Explode glared at Kazuru and turned his head away without saying anything.

"Aiya, this must be Katsuji."

Aoi's mother said. "Although we've lived in the same neighborhood for a few years, this is the first time I've seen Katsuji.

As a hero, he must be very busy. "

"Yes."

Mrs.Explode glared at her son fiercely. "He's so busy all day that he can't even take care of his own life.

He often runs around in the middle of the night and sleeps during the day.

His day and night are upside down. "

"My Kazuru is the same …"

The two mothers couldn't stop talking about their children's work.

Hearing her mother expose her shortcomings, Kazuru shifted her butt uncomfortably and had the urge to cover her face.

Seriously, what was her mother talking about!

Explode's face turned even uglier. If she had to describe it … it was probably an expression of someone who couldn't swallow a mouthful of sh * t, but couldn't spit it out either.

Kazuru quietly observed him.

Thinking of this hero's usual behavior and personality, she really couldn't imagine that he would be escorted by his mother to a blind date.

It was better to say that although he was very handsome, he had a face that was destined to be single.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Of course, Explode wouldn't voluntarily participate in this stupid blind date.

But because of his mother's abuse of power, he could only choose between walking over himself or being pulled by his ear by his mother.

He didn't have the dignity of the top three heroes at all.

Today, Explode was still as angry as ever.

He didn't know what his mother was thinking all day long. She actually thought that without her help, he wouldn't be able to find a girlfriend by himself.

Hmph, who was she looking down on!

He was the super popular hero Explode, okay?

Every day on the Internet, there were many girls saying that they wanted to marry him and have his babies, okay?

Explode thought to himself arrogantly.

In the end, only the mothers were chatting happily throughout the meal.

Kazuru was still cooperative. She obediently answered whatever Mrs.Explode asked.

But Explode's attitude was very worrisome.

Every time Aoi's mother asked something, he would only answer reluctantly when Mrs.Explode secretly pinched his thigh.

Mrs.Explode was very worried.

After the meal, Explode had just mentioned that he wanted to go back when his mother pulled his hair out.

"What are you going back for? You haven't taken a break for three months. What's wrong with taking a day off?" Mrs.Explode said firmly. "Stay here this afternoon!"

Explode: … So angry!

Why was this violent and unreasonable woman his mother!?

(… Maybe she was his biological mother.)

Kazuru watched Explode and his mother's interaction with each other in amusement. Seeing how Explode was so angry that he was about to explode on the spot but didn't dare to say anything, she suddenly felt a little relieved.

Who asked him to blow up her hair and forget about it?

But she was very unwilling to stay here the whole afternoon.

It was rare that she had nothing to do, so she didn't want to participate in the aunties' conversation. She just wanted to lie on the soft sofa at home and be a salted fish.

Thus, she spoke up to resolve the situation. "Auntie Boaster, it just so happens that I have something to buy. Can you let Boaster Boaster accompany me?"

Hearing this, the two aunties' eyes lit up!

Explode: Eyes Dead .jpg

Of course, the aunties agreed with both hands and feet. As for Explode's opinion … it didn't matter!

He didn't drive, so Mrs.Explode stuffed him into Kazuru's car and sent him away.

In the process of struggling, he was taught a lesson.

After Explode, who never learned his lesson, was taught a lesson, he reluctantly sat in the car. His ears were filled with his mother's reminders.

Seeing her mothers leave happily, Kazuru turned to look at Explode, who was in the front passenger seat.

"So, Explode, do you want to go home now or go back to the office?"

Explode was stunned.

This girl … Was she helping him out?

"Not going back?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Kazuru said deliberately, "Then accompany me shopping. I have a lot of things that I want to buy.

With Explode around, I don't need to carry my own things, right? "

"Huh?"

Explode was immediately ignited.

"Let me out!

I can walk by myself! "

Kazuru smiled and unlocked the door for him. "Today, I risked my life to save you. Don't forget to lie in front of Auntie Explode."

Although Explode didn't want to owe her a favor, seeing that this woman knew what was good for her, he snorted through his nose and agreed.

Kazuru was satisfied and let Explode go.

Explode got out of the car angrily.

He put his denim jacket on his shoulder and walked toward the bus stop.

Halfway there, he suddenly turned around and found that the woman hadn't left. The car was parked in the same place, and she was sitting in the driver's seat and waving at him with a smile.

Ahh, this is so infuriating!

Explode couldn't be bothered with her. He turned around and didn't look back at her.

***

On the way back, Kazuru received a call from her college friend, Tangerine.

"There's a college reunion this weekend. Do you want to come?" Tangerine asked. "You'll come, right?

A lot of people are asking me if you're coming. Give me a definite answer. "

"I'm too lazy to go." Kazuru refused coldly.

"I don't want to go alone." Tangerine cried. "Don't you care about who's asking about you?

They're all guys.

Didn't your mom urge you to find a boyfriend recently?

If you don't socialize, how can you meet someone you like? "

Kazuru was stunned.

That, that was true.

She was an otaku who never socialized. Maybe she would stay single forever.

"That's true, but were there any good guys in our college?" Kazuru struggled. "Who's asking about me?"

"Quite a lot, but you won't be interested in most of them."

"What's the use of that?"

"But one is enough!" Tangerine vowed. "There's someone you won't be disappointed with.

It's not a loss to come. "

Kazuru was intrigued. She urged, "Then tell me quickly. Who is it?"

"It's Shiraishi!

Shiraishi Zōnosuke! "

Shiraishi?

Kazuru blinked. It was as if the white-haired boy appeared in front of her when she heard the name.
