In Shibuya Ward, Uchiha Ryo took Chitanda Eru to Harajuku's shopping district to buy some sunscreen and other daily necessities. Time quickly passed and it was already 2 PM.
(The original text has been completely revised.)
The two casually walked into a ramen shop and ordered two bowls of original flavor ramen.
"Want to go out together during summer vacation?"
Chitanda Eru looked towards the source of the sound with some surprise, and saw a young and beautiful... aunt sitting there, eating a large bowl of ramen.
Uchiha Ryo: "Hiratsuka-sensei, you're out having fun during summer vacation too? Alone?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka raised an eyebrow. "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"
Uchiha Ryo led Chitanda to sit opposite Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Today, Ms. Hiratsuka finally changed out of the white trench coat she often wore at school and put on a black shirt and skinny jeans. With her waist-length black hair and the sunglasses on the table, she looked like a mafia boss.
"What did you order? Plain ramen, huh? But I'd recommend their rich broth ramen. Compared to the noodles themselves, this place is most famous for its rich and flavorful broth and its unique blend of spices."
Hiratsuka Shizuka talks about ramen with great enthusiasm, as if it were some kind of divine delicacy.
"So you two really came here for a date today?"
Uchiha Ryo shook his head: "I'm just a tool, helping her carry the things she needs to bring on her trip."
With her legs crossed, Hiratsuka Shizuka skillfully tied up her long hair to prevent it from falling into the ramen bowl, and looked at the two with great interest.
"Going to the beach... Won't it be dangerous for a bunch of high school students like you to go? As an adult, I feel I can be your guardian!"
Uchiha Ryo: "Since Hiratsuka-sensei wants to go out and have fun, why don't you come along?"
Since Hiratsuka Shizuka is the advisor of the Classical Literature Club, it would be inappropriate to leave out the advisor when the entire club has been invited.
"Here... Chitanda, tie your hair up before you eat ramen." Hiratsuka-sensei took out another rubber band and handed it to Chitanda.
Chitanda Eru naturally accepted it. The ramen from this shop did indeed smell very good; she was already getting hungry from the aroma.
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "In that case, I'll make some preparations and go out with you young people."
Chitanda: "Hiratsuka-sensei is quite young too."
Hiratsuka Shizuka laughed heartily, "Chitanda knows how to talk! This bowl of ramen is on me!"
Uchiha Ryo: "Oh, that's so embarrassing."
Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at Uchiha Ryo, "I was talking about Chitanda, what's it to you? Go away, pay for it yourself."
Hiratsuka Shizuka gave Chitanda a gentle smile again. "It's summer vacation now, not school or summer training camp, so you can just call me Hiratsuka-neechan."
Uchiha Ryo's lips twitched. "Sister? You... Pfft, hahahaha..."
"What are you laughing at, you little brat?"
Uchiha Ryo waved his hand. "No, I just remembered something happy."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Ah, what's so exciting?"
"Um... I'm wondering when my cat will have kittens."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "...Your cat is pregnant?"
"Not yet, so I can only imagine...hehe—"
Seeing Uchiha Rin's smug expression, Chitanda couldn't help but laugh.
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Hey! Don't try to change the subject! Uchiha brat, I'm not that much older than you, what's wrong with calling me 'older sister'?"
Uchiha Ryo coughed lightly and nodded.
"Yes, of course, Hiratsuka-neechan, who's more than ten years older than me... hahaha..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to throw a punch.
"What are you laughing at? Don't think I won't teach you a lesson just because you're the top student in the grade!"
Uchiha Ryo: "No, no, Hiratsuka-sensei, I've received professional training. No matter how funny it is, I won't laugh."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "So what's wrong with you now?"
Uchiha Ryo: "Mainly because I just couldn't help it..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka accidentally broke a pair of chopsticks, so she had to get a new pair.
After lunch, Uchiha Ryo stood up. "Let's go, Hiratsuka... See you later, sister."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Where are you two going next? Not to a hotel, are you?"
He wanted to go to a hotel, but Chitanda Eru would never agree.
"Chitanda, what else do you want to buy next? How about we go look at swimsuits?"
"I refuse. I already have a swimsuit. Where should we go next... Ling-jun, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
Uchiha Ryo: "As for me... I'd like to bring Hana over?"
"Little Flower?"
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "I have a little sister I've adopted. Let's invite her to play together when we go to the beach."
Chitanda blinked, then suddenly leaned close to Uchiha Ryo and said in a somewhat unnatural tone.
"That... Xiaohua, she..."
"You can rest assured, I only consider her my younger sister!"
Chitanda Eru breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and nodded.
"Sorry, I was overthinking it. Let's go pick up Little Flower together!"
Standing opposite her, Hiratsuka Shizuka said, "You're talking about Haruka's child, right? Planning to take an elementary school student on a beach trip?"
"But I remember Chunxiang is working today, so the child should be home alone. Hmm, I'll go check on her too."
Uchiha Ryo: "Hiratsuka-nee can take care of children?"
"What are you talking about? Please, I'm a teacher, after all. I can manage a bunch of problem students in the high school, what's so difficult about a cute elementary school student?"
Since Hiratsuka Shizuka said so, that's great! Once we get to the seaside villa, we can hand Hana and Rumi over to Hiratsuka-sensei so he can take Yukino and the others to the beach.
.....
Today, only Hana was home at the Shirasaki house, so Uchiha Ryo had to call Shirasaki Haruka first and tell her about his plan to take Hana out for a few days.
Summer vacation is a holiday exclusively for students, but even in the sweltering summer, Haruka Shirasaki, a working professional, still has to work hard.
Fortunately, the job of a nanny at the Shinomiya family is relatively easy, and the Shinomiya family mansion is quite cool.
"Little Flower, are you bored at home alone? Do you want to go out and play with your brother?"
In Shirasaki Hana's room, Uchiha Ryo looked at Hana sitting at her desk doing her homework.
"Brother Ling, please don't disturb me while I'm doing my homework."
Hiratsuka Shizuka burst out laughing without restraint. "You got rejected too, huh?"
Uchiha Ryo: "...Alright, alright, you're all good kids who love to study."
