Chapter 14 Section 14

It was almost 9 o'clock in the evening when Hirasuke got home.He also wanted to come back as early as possible, but because he had to work two hours overtime, there was no way he could come back late. Naoko was watching TV in the Japanese-style room.Seeing Heisuke coming back, she said "You're back, I'm going to prepare dinner" and stood up. Heisuke went to the bedroom on the second floor, changed into sweatpants and sweatshirt, and then went downstairs again.At this time, the kitchen has begun to smell very fragrant. "Ah, I want to eat tonight!" Heisuke said while twitching his nose.

"That's right. And clam miso soup." Heisuke sat down at the low-legged dining table while saying, "That's great."Mother and child rice and clam miso soup are his favorite foods. Just as Hirasuke was about to pick up the newspaper, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the books and notebooks in the corner of the room.When I picked it up, it was math textbooks and notes.There is also a piece of paper in the textbook with some math problems printed on it. "Did you study today?" Heisuke asked in the direction of the kitchen. "Ah, that's today's homework." Naoko replied loudly, because the ventilation fan was making a lot of noise. "It has to be done today."

"Yes, that's enough for you. Hard work." "Don't say it's hard work or not, you have to help me after dinner." Naoko walked in with a tray containing two large bowls of rice.Her arms are so slender, it makes people feel a little uneasy. "Huh? Still need me to help you?" "Of course! Is there anyone else who can help?" After carefully placing two large bowls on the low dining table, Naoko returned to the kitchen again, this time for a big miso soup. "Naoko said before that she can't help children with homework." "But I'm not a child." Naoko said while holding the miso soup, "Besides, don't you see how difficult this question is!"

"I don't think it's difficult, but I feel very nostalgic. This is an arithmetic problem like a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage." Heisuke said looking at those homework problems. "I just don't know how to do this kind of questions. If I can do simple calculations, I can handle them by myself, but I can't do practical questions and graph questions. I haven't been able to do it since the beginning." "Oh." Heisuke gently closed his palms, said "I'm ready to eat", and picked up the chopsticks.Both the mother and child rice and miso soup are very delicious.He was sure that Naoko's cooking skills had not deteriorated at all.

Heisuke thought to himself, as long as the food can be cooked so well, that's enough, and it doesn't matter if he can't do well in arithmetic.But in reality, his idea is untenable. "Tell me, what will Sami Nami do if she encounters such a problem? Will she come to complain to me?" "Probably not. The child is up to you, and the math is good. It is because of this that I am in pain." After speaking, she frowned.That expression didn't match the face of an elementary school student. "Did something happen?" "That's not yet. It's just that I feel invisible pressure now. The children around me regard me as a girl who is good at math, but in fact there is no such thing. I still want them to teach me. Even the teacher thinks that I am good at mathematics, and every time he looks at me, he always looks at me with the expression that I can easily handle it with my ability. I can only smile at the teacher desperately, but when I think that sooner or later I will reveal my secrets, I feel very anxious. "

"Oh." Heisuke snorted and took a sip of miso soup. "Isn't it just a math problem for elementary school students?" "Don't make it so easy." "But you are already 36 years old..." Ping Jie stopped talking here.He didn't know how to calculate the age of the current Naoko. She doesn't seem to object to being said to be 36. "No matter how old you are, you just can't. Will the problems that can't be solved in elementary school be solved naturally because you are older?" "That's what you said." Heisuke extended his chopsticks to the pickled cucumbers in the small dish.The daily two-hour series on TV has already started. Just by looking at the cast, one can roughly guess who the prisoner is.

"Then, take a break after eating, let's have a special math practice." "Although I don't want to, there's nothing I can do." Naoko also took a bite of the pickled cucumber.Crackling sounds came from the mouths of the two at the same time. After the two finished eating, they turned off the TV, used the dining table as a desk, and started special bead training. Ping Jie taught for about an hour, and unexpected results appeared. "It's nothing, it's quite simple." Naoko said after finishing all the questions on the piece of paper, her eyes widened. "This is the first time I have completed a math problem so smoothly. It seems that Heisuke's teaching method is amazing!"

"How can there be? My teaching method is not magical at all, it is very ordinary." "Hey, but I understand it very well. Why have I never made it before? This is really strange." "Could it be because..." Heisuke looked at her face, then raised his gaze upwards, "Is your brain different from before?" "Ah," she stroked the back of her head with a surprised expression. "Although your consciousness belongs to Naoko, your brain still belongs to Mino Sami. Your intelligence, subjects you are good at, and so on are all determined by your brain. Naturally, Naoko now has the same qualities as Mino Sami."

"Ah, that's how it is!" Naoko suddenly realized. The body is not the same as before, and the brain will naturally change.She should have realized this earlier, Naoko thought. "But I still can't like math and science like Sami Nami." "Really? Is that really the case? Is it the same as before the special training? There must be something different? Are you sure you still hate math?" Naoko stared at her little hand resting on the table for a while, her downturned eyelashes looked very slender. "I can't explain clearly." She raised her face, "Now it seems that even thinking about math class tomorrow, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

"Did it hurt before?" "It will hurt a lot." After speaking, Naoko showed a grinning expression, "I'll make you a cup of coffee." "Ah, great." Naoko propped up one leg, trying to stand up.But at this moment, her face suddenly darkened.She frowned and tilted her neck. "Eh, that's strange," Naoko said. "What's wrong?" "It's a weird appreciation." "So I asked you what's wrong." "Wait a minute..." Naoko stood up slowly, looked down at Heisuke, blinked a few times, walked to the corridor, and entered the bathroom.

It seems that she has a stomachache, Heisuke turned on the TV while thinking.The news program has just started, and it's showing today's baseball results.For the time being, he focused on the news.He's a Giants fan. Ads appeared after the sports news.Naoko hadn't come back yet.It wasn't until the next weather forecast began that she finally came out of the bathroom. Naoko had a complex expression on her face, as if she was contemplating something or had some wonderful discovery.However, in either case, the degree does not seem to be very serious.Ping Jie asked casually: "What's going on?" "Hmm." She snorted first. "Where is it uncomfortable?" "No, it's not because of physical discomfort." Naoko returned to her original position and sat down.Hirasuke still felt that she looked a little unwell.Naoko stared at his face: "Let's eat tomorrow." "Huh?" Hirasuke paused for a moment.But he's not that dull.He quickly understood the meaning of her words.He opened his eyes wide and leaned back: "ah, you're here." "That's right." She nodded, "So, this child hasn't been here before. I heard from her that some of her friends came when they were five years old." "Really." Hirasuke didn't know how to express his opinion on this topic, "Then, is everything going well?" "smoothly?" "Ah, I mean did you run into any trouble? That... that is, did you..." "Oh," Naoko eased her expression, "no trouble. I've gotten used to menstruation. After all, I've dealt with it for more than 20 years. Besides, since it's the first time, the amount is not too big." "Then how did you deal with it just now?" "Just now? I put on a sanitary napkin. It's a leftover from my previous use, but it's a bit big." "Oh." On this occasion, apart from echoing, Hirasuke didn't know what to say, so he had to scratch his head.Then he thought, even if the real Sami Nami encountered this situation, he must have only such a vague reaction. "Then, I want to congratulate you!" "Thank you." Naoko nodded slightly and smiled, "From today on, Sami Nami's body will gradually develop in the direction of a woman. I hope she won't suffer as much pain as I did when she came there. It's a pity that Sami Nami Nami can't follow you." "Yes." Hearing Naoko's joke, Heisuke didn't laugh.Instead, the phrase "gradually develop in the direction of a woman" before the joke kept echoing in his mind.In terms of spirit, Naoko is already in the state of an adult woman, and in the future, she will gradually have the body of an adult woman. He couldn't help but wonder—what would their lives be like then? -------------------------------- Note:
