'Why did President Yukinoshita suddenly appear here?'
The current situation was truly the biggest crisis of her life.
Eriri had been greatly looking forward to coming to Shinnosuke's house and being alone with Master. A single man and woman, something was bound to happen.
Precisely because Eriri thought so, she subconsciously called out "master" when knocking on the door.
There were two elevators in the apartment building. She hadn't expected that not long after she came up in one elevator, Yukino would arrive with Shiro from the other, and coincidentally hear her dangerous utterance.
"Sawamura-senpai, you..."
Yukino wasn't as love-struck stupid as Shinomiya Kaguya. On the contrary, she possessed extensive knowledge and was also interested in many uncommon fields.
'Unexpectedly, the relationship between Sawamura-senpai and Nohara-kun is actually like this...'
Her heart felt incredibly sour. She hadn't expected Shinnosuke to be secretly playing around so much!
"Riri, you're here!"
Eriri stood rooted to the spot, not knowing how to explain, her brain completely blank.
Just at this moment, Shinnosuke happened to open the door.
"Yukinon and Shiro are here too, come in quickly."
He took two steps forward and took the basket in Shiro's mouth and the small bag on his back.
Eriri hugged the painting, her mind still blank. Hearing Shinnosuke say so, she obediently entered the room.
Yukino hesitated for a moment, then followed Eriri into the room.
In any case, Hiratsuka-sensei had asked her, so Yukino certainly couldn't just watch Shinnosuke walk towards the abyss!
What if it was just a one-sided request from Eriri? Maybe Shinnosuke wasn't interested in this kind of thing?
However, Yukino herself couldn't convince herself. For an 18-year-old boy, if a beautiful mixed-race girl made such a request, could anyone really refuse?
If it was just ordinary love, it would be fine. Why did it have to be playing around so strangely?
A strong sour feeling filled her heart. This feeling felt familiar, like when she was ostracized by her classmates in childhood. Why was everyone playing so happily, but they didn't invite her to play along?
"President Yukinoshita, what happened just now was actually just a misunderstanding."
After Eriri entered the room, her brain slowly began to function again, and she started looking for a way to explain.
"That was a punishment from a bet I made with Shinnosuke yesterday. I was actually very unwilling too!"
Eriri's explanation was too weak and unconvincing. Yukino didn't believe it at all.
"I understand."
However, she also felt relieved. In her understanding, Shinnosuke's personal life shouldn't be that chaotic. There must be another reason behind this.
Fortunately, it wasn't because the two of them were secretly eating McDonald's behind her back.
"By the way, President Yukinoshita, why are you here?"
"Yukinon is my neighbor. I asked Shiro to go out shopping just now, maybe they happened to meet."
Shinnosuke put the groceries Shiro bought in the kitchen, and when he came out, he saw Eriri and Yukino sizing each other up.
Neighbor? Eriri felt relieved, as long as Yukino didn't sneak away when she wasn't there.
'Damn it, so envious! If only I were Shinnosuke's neighbor too!'
Eriri subconsciously fantasized again. If only she were his neighbor...
"In that case, Sawamura-senpai, what did you come to Nohara-kun for?"
Yukino looked at Eriri and launched her attack again. She had a hunch that the relationship between them was definitely unusual.
If it were before, even if Yukino was curious, she definitely wouldn't care so much. But after that day she acknowledged Shinnosuke as her good friend, she paid very close attention to him.
She really wanted to know what was actually going on between Eriri and Shinnosuke, to the point where they could be so close, and Eriri even called Shinnosuke master.
"I came to give this painting to Shinnosuke."
Eriri just remembered that today she was going to give this painting to Shinnosuke, and also see Shiro.
She had just been intimidated by Yukino, and now she just saw Shiro beside her.
Shiro had also just heard Eriri call Shinnosuke master. There was a very strange feeling in his heart. Shiro, who had never experienced NTR, didn't know how to describe this feeling.
In any case, he wasn't young anymore. He went out to help Shinnosuke with shopping, and also helped the shop owners attract customers. Shiro was a bit tired now and was resting on the spot.
As a dog who was over ten years old, Eriri observed Shiro and knew his current condition.
He wasn't young anymore, but he looked very healthy. According to his physical condition, he should be able to live at least until he was twenty. Truly an extraordinarily long lifespan.
Yukino's and Shiro's attention was drawn to the painting Eriri was hugging.
With Yukino's art appreciation skills, she could see that the quality of this painting was very high, not inferior to famous oil painters on the market, and it was definitely a work that could be displayed in an art gallery.
The most important thing was that the person in the painting could be recognized as Shinnosuke at a glance, but he looked more mature and experienced, it was him after he grew up.
The Yorkshire Terrier in his arms, why did it look so familiar? Especially the look in its eyes, so familiar.
This painting must have poured out the creator's emotions, to be painted so vividly.
Shiro looked at the painting and was also a little surprised. Shinnosuke kept another small dog? Why didn't he know?
And this small dog was too beautiful. Why did it feel so similar to the girl in front of him?
Even if Shiro was smart, he wouldn't be able to guess the story behind this painting.
"I really like this painting, thank you, Riri."
Shinnosuke solemnly accepted the painting. This painting was a witness to their memories together. Later he would find time to hang it on the bedroom wall.
"You're Shiro? My name is Riri!"
As Shinnosuke took the painting into the room, Eriri approached Shiro and extended her hand to him.
Shiro felt very strange. Why did the girl in front of him look so guilty? As if she had done something she regretted.
However, Shiro still extended his paw to Eriri, and the two of them shook hands.
Then Shiro was immediately hugged by Eriri.
'So cute! When Shinnosuke used to hug me, did he feel like this?'
Yukino watched Eriri hug Shiro so naturally, her eyes filled with admiration.
She also really wanted to hug Shiro, who was fluffy and cute like a marshmallow! Although she was a true cat lover, Shiro was too smart, making her feel that dogs weren't that scary after all!
