Chapter 999: Searching for Momotaro, the Hojo Family Puppy in Crisis

Kato Megumi returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa again. She looked out into the courtyard, pretending to admire the beautifully trimmed and cared-for flowers and plants, but in fact she was secretly looking at Eriri.

"Wow! This is too good!"

Eriri suddenly sat up and buried half of her face in the pillow. She made a whimpering sound and her invisible cheeks turned red.

"Hey, Hui, did you see that? That male protagonist is so cunning! He actually attacked the female protagonist at a time like this. How can I bear this?"

"Hey, hey! This is a comedy comic, stop showing off your sweet feelings! Hurry up and make it abstract!"

The girl chattered, but her eyes could not bear to leave the TV for even a second, and her toes clenched tighter and tighter on the sofa.

Finally, that extremely sweet plot ended.

"Ah-"

Ying Lili returned to her sleeping position from a sitting position again, her two little feet flapping up and down on the sofa.

"It's so beautiful, so beautiful, it's absolutely amazing!"

She screamed excitedly, then quickly took out her cell phone and started typing, muttering:

"Don't ask Kyousuke to watch it with us, let this idiot learn more!"

After watching for a long time, Kato Megumi finally spoke:

"Is Kyousuke-kun watching this anime too?"

"No!"

Eriri answered without even looking up, and then belatedly remembered what she had just said:

"Ah, ah... That's right! Kyosuke draws comics! This is about accumulating materials! Yes! Materials, inspiration and so on! That's it!"

"Yeah! Me too! Hehe~ Hui, don't think I'm a nerd just because I watch cartoons all day. I'm just collecting inspiration!"

At this point, Eriri chuckled, obviously very satisfied with what she said and felt that she was extremely smart.

"Oh~~ So that's how it is..."

Hui nodded, her voice very light.

Then he turned around calmly and watched TV. In less than two seconds, a burst of hahaha laughter sounded beside him again.

Yeah, confirmed.

The girl nodded, feeling relieved.

Eriri just wanted to eat pizza, or maybe she was embarrassed to watch TV while she was cooking, so she stopped herself from cooking and suggested ordering takeout.

Instead of...trying to stop myself from showing off my cooking skills.

Although Kyousuke's cooking skills are much better than mine, it is only natural to cook a delicious meal to repay the person who helped me with my tutoring, right?

Although Kyosuke-kun also said that for chefs and diners, the time spent cooking and the time spent waiting for the food to be served are equally happy, is it okay for me to also want to experience this kind of happiness?

La la la ~~~

Although the idea of ​​showing off my cooking skills was shattered, it was nice to be able to eat delicious pizza~~

I was shocked and thought my little trick had been discovered.

Reassured, Hui quietly recalled the state of her wallet and thought that it should be enough to treat her guests to a pizza meal, so she turned over and lay on the sofa, reaching for the flyer on the kitchen bar.

This kind of thing is standard in Japanese households. Restaurant menus, discount information in various grocery stores and supermarkets, and even things on the Internet are promoted using flyers.

Taking the thick stack over, Hui skillfully found the stack of flyers for catering.

After searching for a while, I saw several familiar shops that my mother would often order from at home. Yes, although I love Ikebukuro, Ruyi-ryo is not too far away.

but……

"Hey~~Lily, why don't I see the pizza shop you mentioned? Can I order it through the food delivery platform?"

Kato Megumi waved the flyer in her hand and asked, now Japan's takeaway is provided by two methods: takeaway platform and direct delivery from stores. There is nothing much to say about the former, but the latter is what the male protagonists in anime often do, riding a bicycle and climbing walls.

Not to mention 2015, even in 2025, Japan will still use these two methods in parallel.

Hearing the voice, Eriri turned around and stared at Kei and the flyer with a confused look for two seconds before coming back to her senses.

"Oh! Pizza..."

She muttered, obviously having long forgotten what she had said.

"I think I used the flyer to make a paper airplane."

Ying Lili tried to recall it, but it seemed like she had torn it into pieces and pretended it was fish food to trick the fish, and she couldn't remember clearly.

"I'll just have some. Hui, what flavor do you want? There's Neapolitan pizza, scallop butter pizza, and... Anyway, there's all kinds of flavors.

I personally recommend the Naples style, as a Chinese who lives close to Italy, I guarantee that it is absolutely super authentic! ”

The truth was that she couldn't remember what the flavors were.

Kato Megumi didn't believe the recommendation of a real British person. They had taken so many tutoring classes together, how could she not know that Eriri was someone who could hardly pass the English test and was determined to take the Japanese language test as a foreign language. But unfortunately, the "foreign language" Japanese was called national language in the exam, and it was divided into modern and classical Chinese.

I thought it was funny in my heart, but if it was really recommended by an authentic British person, Hui would not dare to try it. However, the taste of Ying Lili, a fake foreigner but a real local, is very trustworthy.

The girl opened her mouth to say that she was not picky about food, but before she could say anything, Eriri said:

"But it doesn't matter. We always order a lot, so there will always be flavors you like."

Hui pursed her lips and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She knew that Eriri was not ignoring her feelings like her parents, but... even if she told him, this guy wouldn't remember it!

That's why he pretends to be arrogant to cover up his stupid brain.

Hahaha~~ What a cute reaction~

It’s so funny. Kato Megumi feels that every second with Eriri is so happy. This guy is simply a happiness machine!

Not only did he not feel looked down upon, but he actually felt that Eriri was being taken seriously because of her actions that she was trying to cover up. It was a very subtle feeling.

Eriri over there had already taken out her cell phone and started making a call.

"Hey? Hui wants to eat pizza, send some more over."

A very brief sentence, then she hung up the phone and continued watching TV and started giggling.

Well……?

Kato Megumi opened her mouth, ah, ah...that...

Don't you need to tell me your home address and the name of the food you want when ordering takeout? And why do you have to mention my name specifically... It feels so weird!

Was it a call to a personal butler or something like that? Or was it a call to the restaurant owner, Ms. Miki Okudera?

Hui thought about it for a long time and still felt that the call was very strange. Looking at Ying Lili who was rolling on the sofa holding her stomach with laughter, she began to feel that the other party's laughter was a little unfathomable.

Hui has never been a very curious girl. A strong curiosity is not conducive to reducing the sense of existence. Or in other words, with her invisibility and observation skills, she can easily see through many secrets, but this also makes her more curious now.

There's no reason for such an idiot who is so easy to understand to be so mysterious?

After thinking for a while, she asked directly: "Um... Eriri, although I really want to believe you, are you sure that the restaurant can deliver the pizza just like that?"

Hearing the voice, Eriri sat up, holding her stomach, and turned to look at Hui, her eyes confused again. Two seconds later, she "suddenly realized".

"Oh, oh! You mean that one!"

She spoke casually, her voice clear:

"I didn't call the pizza restaurant."

"That is……?"

Is she really a butler? A butler who keeps track of everything that happens to Eriri at all times, so Eriri mentioned my name specifically on the phone, and maybe she even knows my favorite tastes.

Hui thought to herself.

"It's a call to that woman Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

"what?!"

Hui couldn't keep calm anymore and opened his mouth in surprise.

"Hahaha~~ This pizza shop was discovered by that woman, so she has been keeping the contact information tightly and not telling us!"

Ying Lili smiled contemptuously:

"That mean woman, all she wants is for me to call her every time I want pizza. Will receiving a call from me satisfy her petty vanity?"

"Oh! Ridiculous tolerance!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess smiled even more harshly:

"I just ordered a lot every day and ate as much as I could! I ate all the royalties she worked so hard to earn! I pissed her off to death!"

Kato Megumi: "..."

She blinked, her heart filled with an endless sense of absurdity. She was completely unable to connect the person Eriri was talking about with the arrogant and cold goddess Kasumigaoka-senpai in the school.

Although she had seen their childish fights before, this time it was too...

Well, but...

Hahahaha~~

You know what, what Eriri said on the phone just now is indeed very similar! It's very much like a child who invited friends to play at home and called his mother at home to ask her to prepare a meal.

Hehehe~~ Putting myself in this way, Hui suddenly understood the fun of senior sister Shiyu. It is really fun~~

The girl laughed without disguising her smile, but upon seeing that, Eriri got furious.

"Aaaaah! Why doesn't that woman Kasumigaoka like to eat at those shops I discovered!"

She leaped from her exclusive sofa to the long sofa on Hui's side and said, "Wait a minute, now that that woman Kasumigaoka is not here, should I take this opportunity to lie down and grow taller?

No, now is not the time to talk about that!

"Mei! I'm telling you!"

Eriri grabbed Kei's hand and started complaining:

"That woman! She's so annoying! I went through so much trouble to find a delicious restaurant, and Kasumigaoka would be greedy, but every time she told me what she wanted to eat, I was so excited to wait for her to bow her head to me, but in the end! In the end! That woman didn't eat anymore, and she said something...

Ah, luckily I didn't know the phone number, so I stopped eating to lose weight~

That tone! It's really annoying!"

Ying Lili screamed in anger.

Hui quickly raised her hand and touched her head, whispering, "Yoshi, yoshi, be good, be good~~Don't be angry, don't be angry, eat more later!"

When the princess heard this, she immediately raised her fist and shouted, "Eat up all the bad woman's royalties!"

She turned her head and looked at Kato Hui with fiery eyes: "Hui, you too, you must eat hard!"

The corners of Hui's mouth kept rising, and she tried her best to hold back her laughter. Facing Eriri's gaze, she had to raise her fist and shout:

"Yooo ...

Only then did Ying Lili nodded in satisfaction. Very good, very energetic!

Then she stood up again and walked back to her private sofa with her smooth long legs.

Hui finally had time to start laughing, but as she laughed she thought of another question.

Well……

It was indeed Senior Shiyu who ordered the takeaway, but she was not at home. When the delivery man came to the door, I paid...

A crazy scream sounded in Hui's ears, and in her mind also appeared the image of Eriri forcing a smile while paying the delivery man, and her furious look when the door was closed.

Hehehe~ Although that would definitely be very funny, please don't treat Eriri so cruelly!

Hui touched her wallet and prayed in her heart that Senior Shiyu didn't order too much.

She could afford a normal meal, but she wasn't sure whether the sinister senior would take the opportunity to play a trick on Eriri.

When they turned around and were about to watch anime together, Kato Megumi suddenly felt something was wrong.

Well... Logically speaking, we have been home for such a long time, even the puppy with the worst hearing should have heard Eriri’s scream just now, right?

Why hasn’t Momotaro come over yet?

Hui looked around and found that there was indeed no furry shadow.

The girl couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Eriri!" she called out quickly.

Eriri turned her head, skillfully confused and clear-headed.

There is a reason why this guy can become a genius that even Kasumigaoka Utaha envies. Whether he is drawing or watching anime, his concentration is terrifyingly high, so he often stares blankly for a long time like a fool.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Hui? Are you worried that you'll get sick of pizza if you eat too much? Oh, don't worry, that woman in Kasumigaoka will also order pasta and fried chicken and send them back because Kyousuke likes them."

She said carelessly.

Hui shook her head: "No! It's Momotaro. We've been back for such a long time and it hasn't come yet!"

"Ok?"

Eriri was stunned and subconsciously looked at her feet. Her cute round toes moved as if saying: I felt something was wrong. It turns out that I didn't kick Momotaro to the ground when I got home today.

"Yeah... Momotaro may be a clumsy puppy who can't guard the house or swim, but he loves me the most. There's no reason for him not to come over after hearing my voice for so long."

As she said this, Her Royal Highness the Princess couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Momotaro! Momotaro!"

She stretched her neck and shouted, and Hui shouted twice, but the familiar furry figure still did not appear.

Now the two girls couldn't help but panic. They quickly got up from the sofa and searched around the living room.

"He's not at home! Go check in the yard!"

Ruyilao covers an area of ​​over 400 square meters. The spacious courtyard is lush with plants and is a great place to play hide-and-seek.

They walked into the courtyard barefoot. The grass at noon was droopy in the sun and was very comfortable to step on.

"Momotaro, Momotaro..."

Hui and Eriri each searched separately. (End of this chapter)
