Side story 27: Yui’s mama is a very cute person!

On the day of sports meeting, Yui has fully explained all of her mother’s charm to Ryuusei.

According to what she says,

“No matter what she does she’ll always be cute!”

According to what she says,

“It makes you just want to hug her tight!”

According to what she says,

“And she’s also cool too!”

According to what she says,

“Cool and cute!”

And so she explained all of this passionately to Ryuusei, however he can’t quite wrap his head around the “cute” part. Sure she might be cool, but definitely not cute. However Yui won’t give up and keep insisting that she’s “cute”.

――The following event is what happened after Yui gave Yui a swimsuit as a present.

“This might come as too sudden but, can you please try this on for me?” (Yui)

“Roger!”

Yui who still has towel wrapped around her body, gives Yui the swimsuit she bought just after she finishes wiping Yui’s body. Yui pass right through the one-piece type swimsuit from underneath, and finishes wearing it in no time.

“How is it!?”

“Yes, simply the best. Let me take a photo please.”

“As you wish!”

Before she knew it Yui already has the phone’s camera at the ready.

Yui smiles at the camera, striking various poses.

“Yes, that’s very good. Next please do a spin on that spot and―― Rapid shooting! I’m hitting the shutter button repeatedly right now! Click click click click, aaah excellent! Simply the best! Ah, this picture is especially cute, I’m going to turn this into my new home screen!”

Seeing Yui going crazy on her phone’s camera, Yui grumpily snorts.

“Yui, let’s take the next one together. It’s a two-shot you know two-shot!”

“Yes!”

“Alright please come closer to me…… Mumumu, you’re going to be out of frame at this rate. Yui, on top of my lap please, let us get even closer. Yes, that’s perfect. Then, I’m going to take the pic now. One-two!”

Yui gives the biggest smile she could while looking at Yui‘s reflection from the camera’s lens.

Her mama’s heart is what makes her cute.

And this following event is what happened after Ryuusei and Yui talked in front of the nursery school.

After she walked away from the nursery school where she couldn’t see even a speck of the nursery school’s building anymore, with a stuffy look on her face and her mouth tightly shut while Yui was skipping and walking next to her, she starts speaking.

“……Please listen to this.”

“What is it!?”

Yui stopped walking, and suddenly lifted Yui up. Yui obediently let herself to be picked up, and got hugged tightly.

“……Just what should I do.” (Yui)

“Mumumu?”

Yui who can interprets the situation only as Ryo-kun was bullying her mom, can’t understand the meaning of what she just said.

Although Yui tried to take a look at her mom’s face, but from her position she can only look at the face from the side.

“Uuuuuuu〜〜〜”

Yui rubs her cheeks on her.

“Uuuuuuu〜〜〜”

Yui imitates her mom for the time being.

“Uuuuu〜, uuuuuuu〜〜〜”

Yui rubs her cheeks on her.

“Uuuuu〜, uuuuuuu〜〜〜”

Yui keeps imitating her.

“Uuuuu! Uuuuuu Uuu! Uuu〜〜〜!”

Yui rubs her cheeks on her.

“Uuー! Uuuuー!”

Yui starts to enjoy this a little bit.

“Yes, I’m satisfied now. Thank you very much.”

“You’re welcome!”

As Yui was lowered, they held hands and start walking again. But suddenly she put her other hand on Yui’s cheek, asking her a question.

“I might’ve overdone it a little bit. Are you okay?”

“I’m okay!”

“Then I’m relieved. Yui’s cheek is so soft and smooth just like a Mochi.” 1

“Like a Mochi!”

“Yes, a Mochi.”

They walked three steps further and,

“I hate that man.” (Yui)

“Hate!”

They walked another three steps and,

“……But, if anything happens to me, he’ll be the one to look after you.”

“No!”

Yui pulled Yui‘s hand with a quick tug.

“Always together!”

“……Yui!”

Yui lifted Yui up once again.

“You’ve grown up to be such a good girl! Mama loves Yui the most!”

“I love mama too!”

“Uuuuu〜〜〜〜”

“Uuuuu〜〜〜〜”

Yui’s mama is a very dependable, and also a really cool mom too. However, she acts like this sometimes too. And so Yui let her self to be lifted obediently, and while imitating her mom who’s doing childish acts, thinks of her mom as a really cool person.

There’s a famous saying.

Children are a mirror reflecting their parents. 2

Tosaki Yui who always cheerfully leading Misaki around, is no doubt the daughter of none other than the person named Tosaki Yui.

Even if they’re not related by blood at all.

Mochi is a Japanese snack made from rice (Rice cake). It has a sticky, soft, smooth feeling, kinda like bread dough. 1

子は親の鏡 (Ko wa oya no kagami) (Literally: The child is the mirror of the parent.) is one of many saying in Asian countries (I’m not sure if western countries has this saying too or not), in this case it means a child’s behavior will reflect what his/her parents are like as a person. 2
