Anime: Desolate Darkness

After everyone was seated, the sharp-eyed waiter quickly brought the menu.

Yuriko Hiratsuka took the menu and approached Kimura Takumi who was sitting on her right, and asked with a smile, "Xiaoqiao, what do you like to eat?"

"puff!!"

"Guest! Are you okay?!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was frightened by the call of her mother, and the water she had just drunk instantly sprayed out, and one third of it fell on Hiratsuka Tsuna.

The waiter quickly brought a towel and was about to wipe it, but Hiratsuka Tsuna raised his hand to refuse with a calm face.

He took the towel from the waiter, dealt with it himself with an expressionless face, then threw it on the table, staring at Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't stand being stared at, so she quickly turned her head away and continued drinking water while pretending to remain calm.

Ruined......

Hiratsuka Yuriko and Kimura Takumi acted as if they didn't notice their farce.

After ordering the dishes, Yuriko Hiratsuka began to get to the point.

"Xiaoqiao, how long have you been working? Is being a teacher going well?"

Kimura Takumi answered seriously, "I just started teaching at Sobu High School in April this year. This is my first job after graduation. The students are all very sensible, so I haven't encountered any problems so far."

"Is that so? That's good. By the way, where did you graduate from?"

"The University of Tokyo."

"Todai is great. It's amazing that I can graduate from it at the age of 21." The smile on Yuriko Hiratsuka's face became brighter and brighter, and she was almost writing the word "satisfied" in front of her.

"No, no, Auntie, you're too kind." Kimura Takumi waved her hands.

"You are too modest." Hiratsuka Yuriko patted his back twice and sighed, "It's really strong. You don't have to worry about Xiaojing breaking it." Then she added, "I tell you, Xiaojing couldn't get into the University of Tokyo, and she was almost 23 when she graduated!"

Hey, hey, hey! How can you belittle your own daughter like this! ?

Hiratsuka Shizuka appeared calm on the surface, but she was getting impatient on the inside. If she continued to talk like this, wouldn't she soon reveal her true age? ?

Sure enough, what she feared soon happened.

Hiratsuka Yuriko continued, "But like you, her first job after graduation was to be a teacher, and now she is working..."

"Wait a minute!"

Stoup! ! Stoup! !

"Xiao Jing, what's the matter?" Hiratsuka Yuriko looked at her unhappily, as if she was very dissatisfied with her sudden interruption.

You know, who am I working so hard for? Isn't it because I want her to get married soon? It's definitely not because I want to have grandchildren!

"Well, Mom, why don't you just talk about his situation? Why do you always talk about me?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka pointed at Kimura Takumi and said.

"What's with your attitude? How can you point at someone's face and talk to them?" Hiratsuka Yuriko frowned slightly.

Hiratsuka Shizu: "..."

If I remember correctly, Kimura was pointing at you to remind me of my location just now, right?

Why don't you talk about him? Isn't this just pure bias?

Shizuka Hiratsuka wanted to cry but had no tears, so she could only clasp her fingers together on the table, support her mouth and remain silent.

Seeing this, Hiratsuka Yuriko didn't even look at her, and continued to ask Kimura Takumi, "Xiaoqiao, how is your family situation? Do you have any difficulties or need help? If so, just tell me."

"Ah?" Kimura Takumi was surprised.

Even though it was his first time to go on a blind date, he didn't think the second question would arise normally. Wasn't it obvious that this was an attempt to give him a benefit?

It’s a pity that I’m not the kind of person who would live off others.

"It's not that troublesome. My family is actually quite well off. My father and I both started a listed company. Although we sold it later, our family is still considered to be quite wealthy."

"Huh? Xiaoqiao, didn't you just say that being a teacher was your first job?" Hiratsuka Yuriko asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Hiratsuka Kō, who was sitting on her left, looked at Kimura Takumi with a strange look.

Thinking they had misunderstood something, Kimura Takumi explained, "Auntie, I was just talking about my first job after graduation."

"Before graduation, I designed some software development projects. Maybe it was God's blessing that I was able to make a little money."

"Later, due to academic problems, I graduated early. I thought since I had enough money, I might as well go back to Chiba and find a leisurely job that would be closer to home, so I sold the company."

After hearing his words, the Hiratsuka couple's expressions froze and they looked at each other awkwardly.

They are not young people who have never been exposed to society. They know that an industry that can be considered a listed company should have a market value of at least 100 million pounds, right?

If what the other party said was true, then what right did my daughter have to be worthy of him?

He has started a company, graduated from the University of Tokyo ahead of schedule, has a good appearance, is tall and strong, and has a good personality...

On the other hand, my daughter...smoked and drank all the time, had a carefree personality, was an older single woman, and had a slight tendency towards violence...

Just as the two fell into silence, worrying about Hiratsuka Shizuka's future, the person involved moved closer to Kimura Takumi, put his mouth close to the other's ear, and whispered through his hand.

"Oh my god, why didn't I know you were so powerful? You're really good at hiding your abilities!"

Kimura Takumi chuckled, "Because you never asked me."

"It seems so, haha."

At this time, noticing the friendly interaction between the two, Yuriko Hiratsuka felt that there might still be a chance!

"Xiaoqiao, what do you think of Xiaojing?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had looked relaxed just now, was startled when she heard this.

To be honest, she does care "a little bit" about what Kimura Takumi thinks of her.

Kimura Takumi turned his head and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka. Being stared at so directly by him, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but look away shyly.

Idiot! Stop staring at me so seriously!

Noticing her gradually reddening ears, Kimura Takumi spoke slowly, "I think Ms. Hiratsuka is a very serious person and is very responsible towards her students. She also has a cheerful personality and makes it easy for us to communicate with her."

"Also, Hiratsuka-sensei's appearance is impeccable. It's hard to imagine that such a person would fail in blind dates so many times..."

Hearing all the positive comments, the Hiratsuka couple were so happy!

This is especially true for Shizuka Hiratsuka herself, who feels embarrassed by being praised.

Poor Hiratsuka Shizuka was easily manipulated by Kimura Takumi.

"Stop talking, seriously!"

boom!

Normal women would subconsciously pat the other person when they are complimented to the point of being shy or embarrassed. But Shizuka Hiratsuka was different. She did it subconsciously, but the force was surprisingly strong!

The sound of that palm hitting Kimura Takumi's back almost echoed throughout the entire restaurant!
