Chapter 141: Self-pity
At this moment, Ying Lili felt that her brain, which was not smart to begin with, had turned into a mess because of this shocking reality.
She never imagined that her life experience could be so bizarre.
Shouldn't it be the union of an ordinary English diplomat and the only daughter of a local island family?
Shouldn't things be this simple?
Why does this happen?
How could it become like this?
"Okay, Sawamura, stop standing there."
Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't stand Eriri's dazed expression. This idiot's mental quality was really poor. She was so scared by such a small thing.
On the contrary, Eriri, after hearing what Kasumigaoka Utaha said, immediately said in dissatisfaction:
"What do you mean I'm stupid... Who can stay calm when faced with something like this?"
"The father who was supposed to be dead is not dead, but a woman pretending to be him..."
At this time, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly interrupted and added:
"One more thing, you should know that woman. It seems that she has also appeared next to you disguised as a woman named Emma."
"I know, isn't it Aunt Emma... Wait, Aunt Emma?"
Ying Lili's small head immediately grasped the key point, and her entire expression became strange:
"Isn't that my dad's childhood sweetheart? The woman who almost became my mom?! She was also my dad in disguise??"
Ying Lili was completely dumbfounded.
Her father is a woman, and his childhood sweetheart fiancée is a fake one. Her mother defeated her father in the emotional battlefield and married him back home.
"Why does it feel like a tongue twister..."
Eriri covered her temples and said with a headache on her face:
"My father and my mother are just two people, how could they come up with a plot that is even more outrageous than the 8 o'clock show?"
"You're asking me?" Kasumigaoka Utaha spread her hands to show her innocence.
Ying Lili was so angry that she fell on the bed with a plop, looked up at the ceiling and said:
"This is too ridiculous...~"
Until now, Eriri still feels like she is living in a dream.
Otherwise, how could such a bizarre thing happen?
"It's really a bit absurd. At least I can't write such a boring and bloody plot."
Kasumigaoka Utaha calmly picked up the paintbrush on the table and twirled it around on her fingers:
"But there is one thing I do know."
"That means Luo Shu and Mrs. Sawamura don't want to tell you about this."
"The two of them..." Ying Lili said with an embarrassed face, angrily and laughing: "I am not a child anymore."
No, you are just a little kid... Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Eriri, then sighed and said:
"Don't say that I leaked the secret, even though Luo Shu has probably already guessed it."
"I know. I won't betray you." Ying Lili waved her hand casually, and you could tell at a glance that she didn't take this matter to heart.
After all, Eriri herself was well aware of her mother's abilities.
It would be a blessing to be able to keep a secret in front of her mother for a long time.
Thinking of this, Ying Lili grabbed the bear pillow next to her, then turned over, lay on the bed, looked at the head of the bed and said:
"So, my mother and Luo Shu are discussing how to deal with my father?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at her with some surprise and said, "Are you finally willing to use your brain, Sawamura?"
"Don't make me sound like I have no brains, you slutty girl who only has eyes for men."
Eriri grumbled and complained, then said in frustration:
"Hey, Kasumigaoka, do you think I should pretend I don't know or not?"
Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Eriri.
At this time, Ying Lili said with some disappointment:
"Although I don't know my dad, no, my mom...not either, never mind, I'll just call her 'Dad'."
"Although it always feels a bit strange to be a female father, but let's just do it this way."
"Anyway, my dad has always been very good to me, but now he's suddenly fallen out with my mom and has become a member of a dangerous criminal organization... What should I do?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Eriri, then lowered her eyes and said:
"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
"I want to hear the truth." Ying Lili glared at him angrily: "The truth is selective truth, and lies are all lies, right? How come you are just like Luo Shu, always thinking of lying to others."
"Who made me the woman who climbed into the minister's bed?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha took the initiative to laugh at herself. She smiled, then turned around and looked at Eriri and said:
"If you ask me, Sawamura, it would be better for you to just not care about anything."
"No matter what that woman named Enigma wants to do, it won't affect you. After all, Mrs. Sawamura and Luo Shu are still here."
Hearing this, Eriri frowned and asked:
"¨' Doesn't that make me useless?"
"You just found out now?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Eriri in surprise, "I thought you knew this very well, so you stayed in school and played house in the club all the time."
When Ying Lili heard this, her face turned a little unhappy:
"I can't help it... The people from the art club registered my name for the competition..."
"Okay, I admit, I do feel that your affairs have nothing to do with me..."
As Ying Lili was talking, she curled up on the bed:
"After all, I'm not as powerful as Tokisaki-senpai, nor can I read minds like you, the Dark Woman. Even if I have abilities, I can't compare to Sister Mira's alchemy..."
"Even if it's an ability, it's useless to just transform into someone else..."
"I am actually useless as I am now. I know this clearly."
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Eriri who was feeling sorry for herself and was not surprised. She couldn't help but sigh:
"You are still a child after all..."
"You're so long-winded." Ying Lili looked up and complained, "You're only one year older than me, okay?"
"But mentally, he's more than one year old."
Kasumigaoka Utaha lifted her hair, then crossed her legs and said:
"I'm not very good at comforting people."
"But, there is one thing that I am quite curious about..."
"What are you curious about?" Ying Lili looked at her puzzledly.
At this time, Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and asked back:
"It took Enigma nearly twenty years to make you grow up. It's impossible that she spent so much time just to turn you into a useless waste, right? Ming"
When Ying Lili heard this, she was also stunned.
Chapter 142: The Talented Education of the Sawamura Family
"It seems...it is indeed like this..." Eriri muttered to herself.
This confused Kasumigaoka Utaha:
"what do you want to say?"
Ying Lili was no longer confused at this time, but said suspiciously:
"I mean...my dad seems to have really trained me to be a loser."
"This..." Kasumigaoka Utaha was surprised and asked quickly, "What do you mean?"
At this time, Ying Lili also frowned, thinking while counting on her fingers:
"You see, even though I was born in this kind of family, my father never asked me to learn anything since I was a child."
"Although my mother told me that she made me take many interest classes when I was young, I finally learned to paint because I thought it was the most fun, but in fact, she didn't force me to do so."
"When I was in the third grade of elementary school, I came across a comic book in my parents' room. I found it very interesting and wanted to draw it. They didn't stop me and even encouraged me. When I was in the sixth grade of elementary school, they formed a club and helped me sell my works at comic conventions using Kashiwagi Eri..."
"Normal parents wouldn't be like this, right?"
Eriri said uncertainly, and added:
"Also, my English is very poor. Every time I go to my father's hometown, no one blames me. Instead, they communicate with me in Japanese. Doesn't this seem a bit wrong?"
"This...is the Sawamura family's gifted education?" A drop of sweat seemed to slide down Kasumigaoka Utaha's cheek.
In fact, Kasumigaoka Utaha has always been curious about what kind of outrageous family could produce a talent like Eriri. Now it seems that the outrageousness of this family is far beyond her imagination.
She remembered that Kashiwagi Eri's debut work was a heavy-flavored restricted-level book, right?
So it turns out that was drawn by Eriri when she was in elementary school?
I thought Kashiwagi Eri was a common alias for Mrs. Sawamura and Eriri.
“It seems that the problem is indeed huge.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha touched her face, and the touch of the warm palm made her calm down quickly, but her tone was a little unnatural.
"You see, my dad has a big problem!!" Eriri nodded repeatedly as if she got recognition.
"No, I think Mrs. Sawamura has a big problem too. Of course, it's too late to talk about this now."
Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed and was too lazy to criticize Sayuri Sawamura's "gifted education".
But to be honest, the fact that 'Enigma' as a 'father' did not stop Sayuri Sawamura from educating her in this way is indeed a big problem in itself.
"With a family like yours and this kind of education, it really seems like you are deliberately training someone to be useless..."
"Of course, if your father hadn't caused such a thing now, this kind of education would be a little outrageous at best."
Kasumigaoka Utaha can still distinguish between good and bad. If it were a normal big family, the education given to Eriri by her would at most be a bit out of the ordinary. To some extent, it can be regarded as giving up on Eriri's training in advance and focusing on recruiting a son-in-law.
But if it is placed in a family where the 'father' is a top-notch hero in the field of mysterious heroes, it would be a bit of a death wish.
According to Kasumigaoka Utaha's understanding, in a mysterious family, it is almost impossible for the father to have power but the children to be ordinary people.
Not to mention the transmission of power through blood, the existence of various evil people who will inevitably covet the power of blood will force the children of such families to become stronger and stronger.
"But in this case, I'm afraid that he had bad intentions from the beginning..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped talking here, just glanced at Eriri, and said nothing more.
However, her reaction naturally attracted Eriri's attention:
"Hey, Kasumigaoka, did you think of something? But you can't tell me?"
At this point, Ying Lili couldn't help but complain: "Why do you and Luo Shu treat me like a child...Are you my parents?"
"In a sense, it's true..." Kasumigaoka Utaha muttered softly.
After all, weren't it her and Luo Shu who dragged Eriri into the dangerous area of the mysterious side without permission?
Luo Shu would tolerate Ying Lili's behavior out of a sense of indebtedness, and so would she?
Without their support, Eriri wouldn't be as free as she is now and would still maintain her student status.
But now, Eriri's family has been hit by a catastrophe and things are becoming a little troublesome.
