Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 664 The Sawamura Family's Simulation Training
In the blink of an eye, three days flew by.

In the villa on the Nasu Highlands, Eriri sat on the outdoor terrace, her mind as blank as the drawing paper in front of her.

The cold swishing air hits our faces. Although it is already March, the weather is extremely cold, and the blowing wind is accompanied by a deep chill.

The sky is blue and the winter snow is melting.The mountains in the distance surround the entire plateau, and their outlines are particularly clear under the sunlight.

Various trees such as spruce, ginkgo, birch, etc. are planted on the hillside.New leaves germinate on the branches, and the dense branches and leaves seem to form a green barrier, enveloping this space.

Whenever the wind blows, the woods turn into a graceful green ocean, rustling.

The natural scenery of the entire plateau is like an unfolding picture scroll, quiet and full of vitality, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

However, Ying Lili just stared blankly at the scenery in front of her, her blue pupils were out of focus.

She was wearing the middle school sportswear and a padded coat, and her slightly messy blond hair was hanging down with a scarf, looking a little listless.

As a result, even though I came here from Tokyo, the situation has not changed a bit.

She still couldn't draw anything, and could only stare blankly at the drawing board, making no progress at all.

"Ugh……"

Ying Lili looked down at her toes, and sighed naturally, "Forget it, let's go to lunch first..."

She muttered and stood up from the chair, and was about to leave when the cell phone in her pocket rang.

I took out my phone and saw that it was my mother calling, so I pressed the answer button.

"Mother?"

"Good afternoon~"

Sayuri Sawamura's voice came from the receiver: "You've worked hard, Eriri."

Hearing this, Ying Lili couldn't help being silent.

"...Mom, I haven't started drawing anything yet."

"Hey, it's already the third day, right? You haven't even drawn a picture, okay?"

"Yes, is there any way! I just can't draw it." Ying Lili said helplessly, feeling frustrated in her heart.

In fact, it's not that she didn't write, but the things she drew were all useless scraps, which couldn't be counted.

As if hearing the emotion in her tone, Sayuri Sawamura paused for a moment, then asked with concern:

"Ah, that's really bad, can you tell mom what's wrong with you?"

"...I have never been able to think of a satisfactory picture."

"Hey~~ So that's what happened, it's just a lack of inspiration, right?"

"...Probably. Mom, what's the matter with you? If there's nothing else, I'm going to die."

"Ah, wait for a while. Eriri, have you talked with Kato-kun about your troubles?"

"How could I be able to talk about this kind of thing? We only talked about ordinary topics..."

"Since that's the case..." Sayuri Sawamura seemed to have thought of something, and suggested, "Otherwise, do you want to chat with mom?"

"what?"

Ying Lili frowned, "But, I'm not in the mood to chat now, and I'm ready to have lunch."

"Don't say that. It's my responsibility to help my precious daughter solve her troubles. Anyway, you are free now, so come and accompany me."

"What do you mean people are free now? I didn't do it because I wanted to... But forget it, just chat for 10 minutes?"

"Hey~~~Why is this so?" Sayuri Sawamura dragged her long voice, "Mom, I'm so sad, it seems that I can only find Kato-kun later to relieve my boredom?"

"Wait! You are not allowed to harass Yusuke! I have caused him so much trouble, and he has been working very hard recently... Ah, I see, shall I chat with you about the head office?"

"Hmm~ sounds good, let's do it like this!"

Ying Lili sat down on the chair again while saying "really".

"...So, mom, what do you want to talk about? If it's about love, I don't have much to say, okay?"

"Well~ Although that seems good, let's talk about creation today."

"Creating things...? It can be fine, but I don't have any inspiration."

"That's okay~ Let mom try to find inspiration for you~"

Hearing Sayuri Sawamura say this, Eriri had a vague premonition in her heart, but she still didn't open her mouth with the idea of ​​listening to it.

So the other party asked: "Hey, Eriri~ Do you have anything belonging to Kato-kun around you?"

"...Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Okay, okay~ You go find it first, and I'll tell you something else later."

"Oh... then wait a minute."

Ying Lili reached into her coat pocket depressedly, took out a pair of black headgear, and then said impatiently:
"Okay, I took it out..."

"What did you take out~?"

"Headdress."

"Huh...? What headgear?" Sayuri Sawamura asked suspiciously.

"That's why I said everything, it's the tiara Yusuke gave me!"

"Ah... so it was that one. Unfortunately, that one won't work, Eriri."

"what?"

"So, please open the suitcase now and take out the things in the interlayer~"

"Huh? Mom, did you put anything in my luggage?"

"About this, you should check for yourself~"

"Why are you so cryptic..."

While complaining, Ying Lili reluctantly entered the house, and then followed the other party's instructions to open the mezzanine of the suitcase and take out the contents.

"Is this... a shirt?"

"That's right~ that's the one!" Sayuri Sawamura said happily, "By the way, that's the shirt that Kato-kun wore when he stayed at our house last time?"

"Varied--!"

Ying Lili's eyes widened in astonishment, "Wait! Why is this kind of thing in my luggage!?"

"Of course it's because Mom thought it might come in handy, so she put it in for you~~~"

"Inexplicable! What use can such a thing be useful?"

"Is this like a talisman or something?"

"What kind of nonsense is this!?"

Ignoring her daughter's violent reaction, Sayuri Sawamura laughed and continued.

"Congratulations on finding the shirt~Eriri, we can start the next step~~"

"I hate it, mom, what are you laughing at? What's the meaning of the next step!"

"Yeah~ what do you mean~~?"

"mom!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry~ Anyhow, please smell that shirt while imagining the smell of Kato-kun~"

Sayuri Sawamura made shocking remarks in a rather natural tone.

As soon as this remark came out, Ying Lili felt as if struck by lightning, and her thoughts suddenly came to a standstill.

Immediately after—

"...Eh? Huh? Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?!?"

She raised her voice suddenly, her face flushed red.

"Mom!? You, you, you, what are you talking about—!?!?"

"What's wrong with me~?"

"How dare you say that! What, what do you mean smelling Yusuke's smell!?"

"Hey, Eriri, have you heard of simulation training~?"

"what……?"

"To put it simply, it's a training method to exercise human imagination. That's the kind of thing we're going to do now?"

"Are you teasing me!? I don't want—!"

"Huh~ But, this is all to train your imagination, so as to stimulate your creative inspiration?"

Sayuri Sawamura coaxed: "If you think about it, it's the shirt that Kato-kun wore? It's the original shirt~ Don't you want to smell it?"

"Are you kidding me!? What is a plain shirt? Why do I have to do such a perverted behavior! How can I do that—!"

Ying Lili was so angry that she couldn't help yelling, even her body was shaking.Sayuri Sawamura on the other side of the phone remained calm.

"Ah~ But aren't you annoyed because you can't draw something? This is a way to help you out of the predicament. Are you really going to try it~?"

"Help me out of this predicament...?"

"Yes~ And this is an effective method tested by my mother. It is best to use it when the inspiration is exhausted~~"

The wife whose age is a mystery said so, and inadvertently broke the news of the Sawamura family.

"Cheat...?" Ying Lili murmured unconsciously, and said in confusion, "Just because of this kind of thing... can I draw it if I do this?"

"Of course you can~! Ah, but the specific effect depends on each person's situation. Anyway, mother will guide you, Eriri~"

"No...but..."

"Hey, Ying Lili, don't you believe what mother says?"

"This, this... How can you believe it when you say that all of a sudden... If this method is really effective, why didn't you mention it before, Mom?"

"Because you have never encountered such a situation before. The so-called nirvana is to be used at critical moments~ You have always drawn well before, so naturally you don't need mom to worry about it."

"Well……"

Ying Lili's heart was shaken for a while, and she stammered: "Yes, but... the original shirts are really shameful."

"Ah, it's just a washed shirt. My daughter is in such a panic. Who is it inherited from?"

Sayuri Sawamura went on to say: "If I really want to say it, my mother actually recommends the uniform or sportswear that I just changed, and the effect will be better."

"Just, just replaced—!?"

"Hmm, what do you think, the kind of clothes with Kato-kun's light sweat and body temperature, as well as the rough smell unique to boys, definitely have a more sense of presence?"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...!"

Ying Lili was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, her face was so red that she was about to bleed.

Leaving other things aside, her mother is definitely the worst person in Japan for using "presence"!
"Okay, Eiriri, the question-and-answer period is over, what do you want to do~?"

"Eh? Ah...I...I think..."

"What are you? We're on the phone right now. Mom won't understand if you don't speak up properly?"

Sayuri Sawamura said meaningfully, like the whisper of a devil.

Faced with the other party's instigation, Ying Lili's body trembled slightly.

Looking at the shirt in her hand, she felt as if she was facing some kind of important choice, struggling between the reference of creative inspiration and rationality.

Although my mother said so much, but to smell the shirt while imagining the smell of that person... As a person, this kind of behavior is somewhat against the heavens, and the sense of shame makes her extremely resistant.

However, she really wanted to break through the bottleneck! ! !
Thinking about it this way, her sanity was almost at the limit, and the balance in her heart was tilted towards the irreversible side.

In a trance, a pair of angels and demons seemed to appear in my mind, engaging in fierce defense.

No way, Yinglili!If you do this kind of thing, you will be finished as a girl...you will be regarded as a pervert...!
Don't listen to his Yinglili!You were originally the author of the Ling family's book... Didn't you draw more extreme content than this?Good girl, give me a hard smell——!
As the last straw that broke the camel's back, Sayuri Sawamura asked:
"So, what's the matter? Yinglili, do you want to smell it? Or don't you want to smell it?"

"Gudu..."

Ying Lili swallowed a mouthful of saliva, made up her mind and whispered: "I, I want to smell..."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt as if she had lost something important as a human being, but she couldn't describe it specifically.

Sawamura Sayuri's chuckle came from the receiver.

"That's it~ Then imagine the smell of Kato-kun, and smell that shirt hard~"

There was a bit of excitement in the other party's tone, and she seemed unable to resist this atmosphere.

So she sat down on the sofa, put her mobile phone in hands-free mode and put it aside, then raised the shirt to her eyes with trembling hands, and took a deep breath.

Woo...I want to die...

A feeble rationality cried out from a corner of his heart.

If she buried her face in her shirt now, it felt like her life would end there too.

But she is a creator, which in the final analysis is to break through the bottleneck period.

As bad as this behavior is for a human being, this is a laundered shirt after all, and there are no bystanders around.

So even God would understand her... right?

Ying Lili kept persuading herself, and when she was about to take action——

"Ah, but—"

Saidura Sawamura interrupted her suddenly: "It seems that this alone is not enough, let's add some settings~"

"set up……?"

"Hmm~ listen to this."

Slap, Shua, Shua~
There is a slight sound of water coming from the microphone, with a slight echo, making it easy to think of a familiar space.

"Do you hear the voice? Yinglili."

"Listen... I heard it."

"Then, Yinglili, imagine. Kato-kun is taking a shower in the bathroom of the villa right now, and you are standing outside the door with the shirt he just took off in your hand."

"——!!!"

Puff~~~!
The sharp sound of a kettle boiling sounded in my mind.

Ying Lili hurriedly closed her eyes, emptied her mind, and began to construct pictures in her mind.

This is not a living room, but a blank room.

While imagining the blank room, rebuild the bathroom there.

She's at the door of the bathroom right now...

On the left is the washing machine, and at the foot is a basket of undressed clothes.

Gradually, a blurry picture emerged in my mind.

So she mobilized her imagination even harder, and the frosted glass bathroom door appeared in front of her eyes.

What can be seen through the frosted glass...and what can be seen behind?

wow~
The sound of hot water shaking came from the phone speaker.

——Yusuke is taking a shower! !
The picture suddenly became clear!

Through the glass door, she saw the boy's muscular silhouette.

"Mom, mom, I saw it!!"

Ying Lili couldn't help shouting.

The picture in front of her was clear, Yusuke was taking a bath in front of her, and the air was filled with the smell of the mint shower gel that the other party often used.

As a creator, she really felt that her imagination had been raised to a new level.

This is the essence of creating something from nothing, from something to infinity——!
"Well done~ Now, you're in the bathroom."

Sayuri Sawamura guided with a soft voice that seemed to be hypnotic.

"Yinglili, imagine carefully that your favorite boy is taking a bath."

"Where did he wash it? What's the color of his skin? What's the smell of the shirt he just took off in your hand?"

"Ugh..."

Ying Lili felt that her head was so hot that she was almost fainting, but at the same time, her inspiration and imagination became more and more abundant, hitting her like a flood.

She saw it all!
Yusuke's sculpted perfect body, hot water flowing down against the contours of the other's muscles, is full of temptation...

"How is it? Yinglili, are you smelling the shirt while imagining it?"

"what……"

When she opened her eyes, Ying Lili realized that she had pressed the shirt to her face.

There was a fragrance of laundry detergent and mint on the shirt, and there seemed to be a faint smell of sweat in the depths. They mixed together and eroded her brain.

'I...what the hell am I doing...'

Ying Lili couldn't help asking herself.

Even though she knew it was impossible, the smell belonging to Yusuke invaded her consciousness and made her fall into obsession.

"...Eri Pear?"

Sayuri Sawamura's vague calling came from the loudspeaker, dragging her back to reality.

"what……?"

Only then did Yinglili come back to her senses, and she looked at the phone blankly, "Mom...?"

"Ahaha, it looks like the simulation training was very successful~"

Sayuri Sawamura chuckled lightly and said, "Judging from the reaction just now, you should have gotten what you wanted, right?"

Ying Lili was taken aback for a moment, then picked up the shirt and smelled it.

Then she couldn't help but wonder about her nose.

The mint smell and faint sweat smell that were definitely there just now, but now there is nothing left, only the fragrance of laundry detergent left on it.

"Imagination..."

She muttered the word, feeling lost for a moment.

"Do you understand now~? Yinglili."

Sayuri Sawamura was very happy for some reason.

"Imagination is the greatest gift God bestows on human beings. As long as you can use your imagination flexibly, you will definitely be able to break through the bottleneck~"

"Mother……"

Ying Lili took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Thank you, Mom, I will definitely work hard...!"

"Hmm~ That's very good, then you have to work hard? Mom will help you in private."

"Well! I see."

"This kind of momentum is what you want~ so be it."

Sayuri Sawamura hung up the phone contentedly, and drained all the water in the sink.

She looked at the mirror in front of her, and there was a young lady with a red face reflected on it, as if she was telling the master's inner unrest.

"Oh~ I just wanted to guide Ying Lili, but I seem to be a little fascinated by myself..."

She murmured to herself, feeling shy inside.

Fortunately, there is no one else in the bathroom at the moment, so there is no need to worry about being seen.

As for the reason for being shy——

The main reason was that the son-in-law she had a crush on was so good-looking that she inadvertently used him as a model when she was drawing the book, and even drew a lot of such and such things that were embarrassing to talk about.

So in the guidance just now, she herself was inevitably affected.

"..."

Sayuri Sawamura adjusted her appearance in front of the mirror, took a deep breath of the strange stimulation in her heart under the air pressure, and then put on a dignified smile.

Return to the negotiating venue of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the bathroom, and find her husband.

At this time, she has changed from the role of a book artist to the wife of a diplomat who can chat and laugh with ambassadors from various countries.

……

　I have something to do today, send it early.
