Chapter 259 Will Master and Dragon Tiger Show Affection When They Travel to the Original Story? (12)
On this day, Sayuri Sawamura was happily staying at home, enjoying life, just like any other day.
"Hehe, hehe, hehe..."
Every now and then, an eerie laugh would ring out. Sawamura Sayuri, with her fair skin and beautiful appearance, who looked more like sisters than mother and daughter when standing next to Eriri, was rolling around on the bed with an indescribable smile on her face.
Meanwhile, the comic book she was holding contained literary material that needed to be censored, from the cover to the content. In her spare time, she would always delve into this kind of literature and was extremely obsessed with it.
Of course, she was no ordinary otaku who could captivate Leonard Spencer, a diplomat from England. Once she stepped out of that room, she was the noble, elegant, gentle, and approachable Mrs. Spencer.
Compared to her, Eriri is just a little girl, without a trace of her mother's charm.
Just then, her phone rang. Sayuri Sawamura frowned and put it to her ear.
"Eiriri?"
"Mom," Eriri's voice on the other end sounded tinged with excitement, "Are you home?"
"Yes, I'm here." Sayuri Sawamura didn't suspect anything.
"Where's Dad?" Eriri's voice seemed to rise a syllable.
"You might not be back until eight o'clock? What's wrong, Eriri? Didn't you say you were going out with your classmates today?"
Sawamura Sayuri was confused. Her family was considered very open-minded and had a lot of freedom in raising Eriri. As long as Eriri didn't go astray and her safety was guaranteed, they usually didn't care where Eriri went; they just needed to let her know.
In reality, Sayuri Sawamura still had a lot of confidence in Eriri. Despite being a famous doujinshi artist, she was still a little girl at heart and wouldn't do anything immoral or disgraceful to her family.
"Mom, I'm planning to bring my classmates over for a get-together, is that okay?"
"It's nothing, do you need me to entertain you?" Sawamura Sayuri sat up abruptly and smoothed her disheveled hair.
"No need, tell all the servants to leave. As long as Mom is here, that's fine. Please, Mom!"
"Why?" Sayuri Sawamura was completely confused.
"Mom~~" Her daughter's voice echoed through the air.
“Okay, okay, okay!” Sayuri Sawamura readily agreed.
"Okay, Mom, we'll be right back!" Eriri said before hanging up the phone.
It's a bit strange that only Sawamura Sayuri is left. Despite Eriri's popularity at the academy, she has no truly close friends due to her otaku nature and love of pretending.
After all, once you have very close friends, it's hard to hide your true identity as an otaku and a doujinshi artist from them. But Eriri, who is proud and afraid of being discriminated against, doesn't want anyone to find out about this.
So even though Eriri spent more than a year at Toyosaki Academy, she didn't even have a single good friend she could bring home. In addition, as a young lady from a prestigious family, people always had some reservations about her, which made her even more addicted to otaku culture. In reality, she had no one to hang out with.
From this perspective, it's understandable that she cares about Aki Tomoya. After all, no matter how much of an otaku Aki Tomoya is, the fact that he dares to express his love for anime, comics, and games (ACG) and anime to everyone is enough to give someone like Eriri, who is too afraid to speak up, courage.
"...This is the first time Eriri is bringing her classmates." Sawamura Sayuri murmured, looking at her phone. "No, I need to prepare properly."
Sawamura Sayuri quickly gathered all the literature she had painstakingly studied into the depths of the cabinet, then ran out of the room and told the servants to quickly clean the hall and decorate it a little, but not too extravagantly.
Eriri's father is a diplomat and a Japanese, so her family is very wealthy and even has a large hall for hosting dances. However, Sayuri Sawamura considered that the guests were students, and if the decorations were too extravagant, it would backfire. Therefore, she wanted to dress them in a more casual style.
"Eri-ri, that child, didn't even mention whether they've had dinner or not." Sayuri Sawamura thought for a moment and prepared some simple late-night snacks.
Having done all this, Sayuri Sawamura changed into a casual white turtleneck sweater embroidered with delicate orchids, making her look elegant and virtuous. Then, she sent all the household servants out.
When Eriri opened the door, she was greeted by her radiant mother, who wore the standard smile for all to outsiders.
“…No need to be so dramatic, Mom.” Eriri looked at Sayuri Sawamura, who had already entered “diplomatic mode,” and was truly speechless.
"Aren't you going to introduce your friend to me, Eriri?" Sawamura Sayuri gave Eriri a subtle glare, her tone still gentle.
At this point, Eriri was no longer sleepy. She smiled brightly and pulled out a girl from behind the door, whose face was mostly covered by her hat pulled low. Her golden hair was exceptionally beautiful.
This is……
Sawamura Sayuri felt that he looked strangely familiar. Although his face was not shown, he just looked very familiar.
Could it be a relative she had met before? Sayuri Sawamura racked her brains, searching her memory. As the wife of a diplomat, Sayuri Sawamura naturally had a strong ability to recognize people, but she just couldn't remember.
"Mom! Let me introduce you." Eriri smiled brightly, with a mischievous joy. She suddenly lifted the hat of the girl next to her, revealing a face that looked exactly like hers. "This is my long-lost twin sister!"
These words struck Sayuri Sawamura like a hammer blow, instantly freezing her mind. Her eyes were fixed on the girl next to Eriri, whose face was identical to Eriri's.
This, this, this...
Even if you wanted to refute it, looking at this identical face, it would be difficult to refute it!
"I...I only had one child back then?" Sayuri Sawamura asked blankly. "I have amnesia?"
The once noble and elegant Sayuri Sawamura is now only seen as adorable and silly.
"Hahahahahaha!!"
The two Eriris finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, after all, their mother's stunned expression was just too funny.
Sawamura Sayuri finally realized something was wrong, and she gritted her teeth: "What on earth is going on! Eri, Ri, Ri!"
"Ahem." Eriri's smile hadn't faded yet. "Actually, she could be considered one of my sisters too!"
Eriri took a step forward and introduced herself with a smile: "Nice to meet you, mother of this world, I am also Eriri."
This Eriri, that Eriri?
Sawamura Sayuri was completely bewildered. She pressed her temples and said, "Explain yourself!"
Then, Eriri gave Sawamura Sayuri a general explanation.
"You mean, you're Eriri from another world?" Sayuri Sawamura's beautiful eyes widened even more.
“Yes.” Eriri nodded repeatedly, secretly hiding the phone that had taken pictures of her mother’s embarrassing moments behind her back.
"Are you really not kidding me? Like those prank reality shows that are popular now?" Sawamura Sayuri struggled with her question. As it turned out, even otaku find it hard to accept such an extraordinary turn of events.
"Mom, look at my face and hers! Even if it were a prank, you wouldn't spend money to make someone look like this!" Eriri and "Eriri" looked exactly alike when their faces were put together. "Besides, this is a very popular element in the world of anime."
Eriri had completely forgotten how surprised and disbelieving she had been at first.
"The problem is, that's reality!" Sawamura Sayuri said irritably, then, not being stupid at all, she realized what was going on.
Sawamura Sayuri grabbed Eriri's ponytail: "Hey Eriri, are you kidding me?! Long-lost twin sisters? I was starting to wonder if I was carrying two of them in my belly back then."
"Ouch, Mom!" Eriri cried out, her face full of pleading. "It was just a joke, it's nothing."
It's a joke. The two Eriris wanted to play a joke on their mother, so they couldn't let outsiders interfere, which is why Kasumigaoka and the others didn't come.
Honestly, nobody else wants to come here either...
"I'll tell you later." Sayuri Sawamura pressed Eriri's forehead. "Oh, right."
"What?" Eriri rubbed the red mark on her forehead.
"Let your dad see it later too, but don't tell him beforehand." Sawamura Sayuri's sly smile was exactly like Eriri's; they truly were mother and daughter.
"Of course!" The two Eriris exchanged a glance and chuckled.
So, Leonard Spencer, still handsome and dashing in his middle age, was betrayed by his wife as soon as he returned home.
Sawamura Sayuri rushed over, tears welling in her eyes, exclaiming, "Darling! We've finally found our daughter after all these years!"
???
Leonard thought he had misheard. What? When did he have a daughter who had been lost for many years? Didn't he only have one daughter, Eriri?
"What happened, darling?" Leonard Spencer caught his beautiful wife. "What daughter? Eriri's perfectly fine, isn't she?"
"You, you forgot? Darling." Sawamura Sayuri's acting skills were much better than Eriri's. Unlike Eriri, who burst out laughing before she even finished her performance, Sawamura Sayuri's eyes were filled with resentment, as if she were looking at a heartless man.
“I gave birth to twins, but I accidentally lost one. Over the years, I haven’t been able to sleep or eat properly, all I want is to find my daughter.” Sayuri Sawamura deliberately wiped the corner of her eye with a handkerchief.
Leonard was even more confused. When did all this happen? How come he didn't know they were twins? And Sawamura Sayuri, are you sure you're not eating or drinking? Are your memories of reading BL manga every day and attending comic conventions with him just a fantasy?
“Honey, when did we get two daughters?” Leonard touched Sayuri Sawamura’s forehead. “Were you reading some novel again? Or do you have a fever?” It turned out that Leonard Spencer really knew his wife well.
Sawamura Sayuri persisted, shoving her husband's hand away and feigning indignation: "I really misjudged you! Stephen! Eriri, bring your sisters out here right now."
“Dad.” Eriri came out. Her acting skills were far inferior to Sawamura Sayuri’s. She pursed her lips tightly, with a half-smile on her face.
Fortunately, Leonard wasn't in the mood to pay attention to that right now. He quickly said to Eriri, "Eri, you've come at the right time. Your mother..."
Leonard's mouth gaped wider and wider, and he froze in shock.
Behind Eriri, a girl who looked exactly like her stepped out. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a charming smile. No one would believe that she was not related to Eriri by blood.
"Dad!" Eriri feigned sadness. "Have you forgotten me? Have you forgotten that you even have a daughter like me?"
"You... only remember Eriri?" she said, covering her face with her hands and pretending to cry, her shoulders shaking—she couldn't hold back her laughter any longer, so she decided to cover her face.
"I...we really have a daughter? I've forgotten?" Leonard's mind went blank, and he still deeply doubted his memory.
"How long have I forgotten? I've actually forgotten my own daughter, how could I do this?" Leonard not only doubted his memory, but also questioned his life.
"Pfft!" The mother and her two daughters burst out laughing at the same time.
"What are you laughing at?" Leonard Spencer hadn't even reacted yet.
Seeing that Leonard was really about to be completely fooled if things continued like this, Sayuri Sawamura quickly explained, "Actually, it's like this..."
Leonard remained expressionless; as a diplomat, his stern face still commanded respect: "So you all ganged up on me?"
"Don't be angry, darling, it was just a joke." Sayuri Sawamura smiled and tried to soothe Leonard.
“A joke?” Leonard was both amused and exasperated. “I almost thought I had really lost my memory.”
Sawamura Sayuri secretly stuck out her tongue. Would she tell Leonard that the original script was actually about an illegitimate daughter coming to their door, and the innocent wife and daughter crying and making a scene? But thinking that the two Eriris were exactly the same, saying that she was an illegitimate daughter was completely unreasonable, so it turned out like this.
"So, she's also Eriri?" Leonard looked at "Eriri." If she weren't his daughter, he would have contacted the higher-ups already. "Are parallel universes really possible?"
“I am the biggest proof, Dad.” Eriri still had a lot of confidence in Leonard. Although he was an official of Japan, he cared more about his family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed in Japan for Sayuri Sawamura.
"What exactly happened?" Like everyone else, Leonard's first reaction was to ask.
"King Arthur?!" Leonard exclaimed in disbelief. "By the Queen, is this for real?"
"Oh my god, King Arthur has become your knight, Eriri? And you've been made a princess?!" As a woman, Sayuri Sawamura was more concerned about her daughter's affairs.
"After all, parallel universes have come out, so we can't help but believe in these things, right?" Eriri couldn't help but say. After all, you get used to your values after a while.
"What does King Arthur actually look like?" Leonard's reaction was similar to his counterpart in another world.
"Eri, how far have you progressed in your close combat with King Arthur?" Sayuri Sawamura's eyes were full of gossip.
They really are my parents!
