Hiratsuka Shizuka Is Bringing a Boy Home / Shizuka's Boy Is Meeting the Parents ...
"Hey? What's wrong with you! I already said I don't need those tasteless clothes!" Haruno suddenly got angry, shoved the sales assistant, knocked the clothes to the ground, and shouted.
"Huh?" The sales assistant replied stiffly, as if she had been stumped.
"What's wrong, sir? I'm so sorry, my staff was a bit clumsy today. Please don't be angry, we have many other styles of children's clothing here." At that moment, another man walked in from outside.
"No need for a discount, do I look like the kind of person who would buy discounted clothes? But if you keep wasting our time and the clothes don't satisfy me, don't think you can just let it go like this." Haruno Yukinoshita said, displaying the demeanor of a spoiled young lady.
"Yes, yes." A flash of anger crossed the store manager's eyes, but he suppressed it and put on a friendly smile before agreeing.
"... Hmm, how about trying this one? Wearing it, you'll look like a little British gentleman." The shop manager seemed to be holding his breath, his face looking quite grim, but he quickly composed himself and smiled as he took out a suit vest similar to the young master's.
"Ugh, that's terrible taste," Haruno said with a look of disgust.
"Come on, how will you know if you don't try it on?" The shopkeeper, like a creepy old man, held up the black vest and tried to force it on Shirou.
"Wait! I already told you your taste is terrible!" Haruno said disdainfully, knocking away the shopkeeper's hand that was reaching for Shirou with a clothes hanger, causing the vest to fall to the ground.
The shop manager bent down, intending to pick up the garment, but instead of squatting, he seemed to change his mind. He stood up, his previous smile vanishing, and coldly looked at Haruno Yukinoshita, asking, "... Hmph, where exactly did I give myself away?"
"It's strange enough that an older man who stares at cute boys the moment he walks in can be the manager of a children's clothing store. He should have some self-awareness! He's a pervert!" Haruno said bluntly.
"Ugh! How dare you... cause me trouble again and again!" The shopkeeper could no longer hold back, revealing his sinister and ugly face. He took out a sharp thorn covered in black paint and stabbed it at Haruno Yukinoshita, who had angered him.
"Haruno! Use this!" Shirou shouted. He was prepared, and his hands emitted white light, enveloping the high school girl, Haruno Yukinoshita.
Chapter 554 Shizuka Hiratsuka is taking a boy home
In the void, atop the Throne of Heroes, lies a castle floating in the sky. At the center of this castle, on a jade throne, sits a haughty, black-haired beauty, her chin resting on her hand, gazing upon the souls that seek to forge a pact with her.
"Your Majesty, please lend me this power." Haruno's soul form quickly understood and bowed in homage.
"Hmph! What a clever woman, I don't dislike her. Hmm, that boy's face reminds me of a certain man. Consider it a special gift to you as a Valentine's Day pastime. Accept this royal glory." The beautiful queen with long black hair and fairy-like pointed ears smiled and reached out, handing Haruno a 'poison' called chocolate.
After a flash of white light, a black shadow knocked away the spikes the shopkeeper had sent flying.
Wearing a magnificent black dress, Haruno Yukinoshita exuded a queenly, noble, and proud aura, with a long cloak enveloping Shirou.
She looked at the man disguised as the children's clothing store manager with amusement and said, "Hmm? So it was you who did this? I felt that the staff here were acting a bit strange before, they didn't even recognize me, I didn't expect they were being controlled by you."
"When did you realize something was wrong?" the fake shopkeeper asked. He was actually one of the many Black Shadow who had followed Shirou earlier, Magecraft known for his expertise in poison.
The Magecraft, monitoring Shirou and Haruno's movements, infiltrated the clothing store first and used poison to control the staff. However, he then disguised himself as the store manager, intending to take matters into his own hands.
The plan to have a child with the body of a god wear clothes he had injected with poison, and then gradually control him, was a meticulously planned scheme, but it was unexpectedly disrupted by a high school girl.
"If I had to say, it would be that you were exposed from the very beginning," Haruno said, shrugging.
The two arrived at the children's clothing store about ten minutes earlier.
"These places are a bit strange?" Shirou suddenly grabbed Haruno's hand and stopped, saying.
If it were a normal split, Shirou would be no different from any other child with the aptitude of Magecraft. However, Shirou has now absorbed a large amount of the world's power and is regarded as the blessing of the world itself. The world revolves around Shirou.
He possesses an extraordinary ability to foresee danger directed at him. If Shizuka Hiratsuka hadn't stopped Shirou, that bald Magecraft wouldn't have been able to get here in time, and he might have actually escaped. After all, it was this ability that allowed him to escape from several cities.
While poisoning methods like this are difficult to prevent, it's a different story if one can identify them.
"Hmm... Ever since my little sister refused to stay by my side, she hasn't been here recently. It's alright, leave any problems to your older sister. In Chiba Prefecture, no one who owns a business dares to offend the Yukinoshita Family. Come with me." Haruno Yukinoshita looked around the children's clothing store and turned to Shirou, saying this.
"Hmm?" Haruno Yukinoshita the light, there seemed to be a nearly transparent gas floating in the air.
"Hahaha! You finally realized? Too bad you're already poisoned! Don't think you're safe just because you didn't enter the room. I'm an expert in poison! Even without injecting it myself, just having you inhale the poison powder in the air is enough to seal the victory!"
My poison! It's an ancient formula dating back over a thousand years, even Servant would be affected! Not to mention you only borrowed the power of Servant, your body is still human. The poison you've just used is enough to make you lose control of your body, leaving you completely at my mercy! Woman, you will pay the price for your offense against me."
"Hehehe, is that so?" Haruno Yukinoshita raised her arm to touch her face, laughing nonchalantly.
"Why! You didn't react at all to the black mamba's venom?" the man who had administered the poison asked in astonishment and disbelief.
Actually, it wasn't just Haruno Yukinoshita; under the protection of the world's power, Shirou also possessed a constitution that could block any harmful substances. However, the saleswoman who had been controlled was now collapsed on the ground, convulsing.
"Poison? Oh, if that's the case, someone once said that my smile is the most terrifying poison in the world~!" Haruno Yukinoshita, dressed in a black dress, said with a sweet smile.
"Impossible! You've clearly been poisoned by my carefully concocted poison, the most terrifying snake venom in the world!" The man, Magecraft specializing in Magecraft, simply couldn't comprehend this situation.
Haruno Yukinoshita said, "Yeah, I did inhale it. It's a bit too mild for a dessert flavor. But you're wrong about one thing. The most venomous snake in the world isn't the Black Mamba, but..."
Above the man's head, a dark void appeared, from which emerged a gigantic serpent's head, its mouth wide open. It was Divine Beast, a monster, a venomous creature born to kill the Babylonian gods, Usum, the son of the earth goddess Tiamat.
"Aaaaaah!!!" the man screamed in terror as he was swallowed by the giant snake.
The giant snake, possessing some dragon-like features, met Shirou's gaze with a look of surprise. Then, as if greeting an elder, it bowed its head and disappeared back into the space.
Although Haruno wouldn't kill the opponent, she would treat the venomous snake god Usum like a toy, letting it do whatever it wanted, and then throw it away somewhere afterward.
She can't help but tease people she likes, and if it's someone she dislikes, she'll completely crush them without leaving any room for retreat. Haruno Yukinoshita is such a person—full of wisdom and charm, yet also incredibly terrifying.
After that, Haruno detoxified the others who had been poisoned. Semiramis was a pioneering figure known for her use of poison. As the queen of Assyria and Magecraft from the Age of Gods, she detoxified all the male Magecraft from such low-class poisons in just a few minutes.
The store manager and staff, having recovered, knew they had escaped with their lives and thanked her profusely. They promised that from now on, they would pack up and provide any clothes Shirou wanted for free. Finally, they saw Haruno and Shirou off as if they were seeing off their mistress.
So, having done a good deed, Haruno and Shirou happily carried their bags of clothes and headed towards the apartment.
As they walked, Haruno suddenly remembered something and looked at Shirou curiously, asking, "So what's the deal with that belt?"
"Hmm? A belt?" Shirou looked at Haruno with a puzzled expression and blinked.
"As expected! It's actually unnecessary, isn't it? That belt? Even without it, can't I still borrow the power of Servant?" Haruno guessed the truth from the boy's reaction and asked.
"Yes, it was created to match Shizuka's imagination, based on the strongest form she remembered. That kind of fighting style probably best brings out Shizuka's strength," Shirou nodded honestly.
"Pfft... I see, I see... As expected of Shizuka-chan- chan, this is a reasonable cosplay." Haruno said, suppressing a laugh.
"Yeah, I know. Shizuka is Kamen Rider, Haruno is a fairy." Shirou said, indicating that he had watched TV recently and already knew a lot.
"Huh? That's not right, is it? This outfit isn't a disguise, it's just a Western-style court dress. Although Semiramis is a witch, so it's all black, that dress should be her usual attire!" Haruno blushed and explained, momentarily speechless.
"I know, magical girl grow up to be witches, right?" the boy said with a completely innocent smile.
"Shirou ..." Haruno remained silent for a long while.
"What?" the boy asked.
"Let's just leave it at that and not bring it up again," Haruno said earnestly in a deep voice. Although she had missed a chance to tease Shizuka-chan, she didn't want to be ridiculed, especially if her younger sister found out; then her authority as the older sister would plummet.
"Oh, I understand." Shirou didn't quite understand, but being the gentle and gentlemanly boy he was, he still agreed.
After the two returned to the apartment, Haruno stayed for dinner. When Shizuka Hiratsuka returned from class, she felt that the atmosphere seemed a little different.
"Did something happen today?" the woman asked curiously.
"This is a secret between the two of us, you know~!" Haruno said with a mischievous grin.
"Hey~!" Shirou replied. Since he had promised not to tell anyone about Haruno magical girl, he would keep it a secret forever.
"Huh? What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?" Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the two suspiciously, feeling like she had missed something very important.
"Oh right, summer vacation is coming soon. What will Shirou do then?" Haruno suddenly asked, looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka.
"I... I will bring him home!" Shizuka Hiratsuka said through gritted teeth.
Chapter 555 The Shizuka boy is meeting the parents!
"Really?" Haruno asked in surprise, thinking, 'Are you going to tell your family that this is a child you picked up, or your live-in boyfriend?'
"We can't just leave him here alone," Shizuka Hiratsuka said resolutely. After all, with such a dangerous person chasing him, how could she not be there to protect him?
"Forget it, I can't convince you anyway, but be prepared, I won't be able to help you then either," Haruno said, shrugging.
"Hmm? What kind of mental preparation?" Shizuka Hiratsuka asked, puzzled.
A week later, on an evening, Shizuka Hiratsuka returned to the Japanese-style mansion where she lived with her parents, took out her key, pushed open the door, and walked into the foyer.
"I'm back~!" Shizuka Hiratsuka called out.
"Welcome back... Shizuka, who is that person behind you?" The first to run out was a middle-aged woman in a light pink kimono, still charming and graceful. She had a gentle and virtuous demeanor, and her features bore a resemblance to Shizuka Hiratsuka. She must have been a great beauty in her youth.
"Mom, it's a long story, but the kid has been living with me recently and has come back with me now. I'll make him a makeshift bed on the floor in my room, so it won't bother you. It's just a matter of adding a bowl and chopsticks, is that alright?" Shizuka Hiratsuka said casually as she took off her shoes, picked up her suitcase, and walked into the house.
"Huh? Living together!?" The Mrs. Hiratsuka felt dizzy and disoriented. If she were to experience any more shock, she would immediately faint.
"What's wrong, Mom?" A dignified voice rang out, and a middle-aged man in a kimono and glasses stepped out with a serious expression. His straight, sword-like eyebrows, powerful eyes, and a hint of menace in his gaze exuded an air of authority. It seemed that some of Shizuka Hiratsuka's traits had been inherited from him.
"Father, Xiaojing... Xiaojing brought a boy back with her," the woman said nervously.
"Isn't that a good thing? Didn't you say you were worried this child wouldn't be bright enough and would become an old Saintess? Hmm? It really is... a boy!!!" The middle-aged man's mouth dropped open when he saw Shirou standing behind the woman, and he shouted even louder than his mother.
Everyone in the Hiratsuka family, from family members to servants, was astonished. No one expected that Miss Hiratsuka, who had never been heard of dating anyone, would bring home a cute boy after graduating from university.
I believe that within a few hours, all the friends, relatives, and even the servants' relatives and friends will know about this.
Moreover, the versions will continue to circulate, becoming increasingly outrageous.
The eldest daughter of the Hiratsuka family is actually a boy-lover.
The eldest daughter of the Hiratsuka family went to teacher's college because she wanted to become an elementary school teacher.
The eldest daughter of the Hiratsuka family walks the line between crime and evil; no, she has already extended her evil hand.
The eldest daughter of the Hiratsuka family brought her illegitimate child home.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt. My name is Shirou. Shizuka kindly helped me when I had amnesia, so please don't blame her." Shirou stepped forward, bowed, and greeted the two of them.
"Amnesia... I see, Shirou-kun, is that it? Anyway, come in and eat. Auntie, please go and get an extra set of bowls and chopsticks." The Hiratsuka family's mother looked Shirou up and down, and finding that the boy didn't seem to be lying, she turned to an old woman's maid and said.
"Yes, madam," the woman replied, and went inside.
The family was reunited, but now there's suddenly an extra person, and there's a strange atmosphere about it.
While eating, Shizuka Hiratsuka explained to her family what had happened: the evil Magecraft's pursuit had been averted. That was pretty much it.
"Is... is that so? This child has amnesia and can't find his family yet, so you took him in." The Mrs. Hiratsuka breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her daughter's explanation.
"Speaking of sleeping... where do you sleep...?" The Hiratsuka family father didn't show it on his face, but his mind was in turmoil, just like when his son-in-law was visiting for the first time. He asked nervously.
"Oh, honey, he's still a primary school boy," the Mrs. Hiratsuka said with a laugh.
"Shizuka is so good to me. She lets me sleep on a soft sofa with a nice-smelling blanket that's very warm. It's much more comfortable than sleeping on the floor or in a cardboard box," Shirou said with a genuine smile.
It is this genuine smile that is most touching.
"Waaah... poor child..." The Mrs. Hiratsuka took out a handkerchief to wipe her wet eyes, and the maids who were eavesdropping around also quietly wiped away their tears, all looking at the boy with loving maternal eyes.
"Xiaojing! How could you let this child sleep on the sofa?" Mrs. Hiratsuka said reproachfully to her daughter.
"Are we going to let him stay in Shizuka's room?!" The Hiratsuka family's father jumped out first, protesting.
"They're all kids anyway, they can all fit on one bed, what's the problem?" Mrs. Hiratsuka retorted.
"Honey, you have no idea. Kids these days grow up eating KFC, McDonald's, all sorts of fast food. They eat vegetables and meat that have been artificially ripened with hormones. Their bodies are full of hormones, their fat and blood are full of them. Their development is far ahead of schedule. Kids these days are all byproducts of being artificially ripened. And our little Jing isn't young anymore!" The Hiratsuka family father explained to his wife in a low voice.
"Auntie, don't worry about it. After all, Jing is a terrible sleeper. If I slept in the same bed with her, I'd probably get kicked off!" Shirou said with a laugh.
"Is that so... Is that so..." The Hiratsuka family father covered his face. It seemed that he was more concerned about whether his daughter would get married than whether she would sleep with boys.
"Besides, I have to go to the kitchen to make breakfast every morning, so sleeping outside is more convenient because it avoids noise," Shirou continued.
"Eh? Shirou-kun, you were making breakfast before?" Hiratsuka family's father asked in surprise.
"Hmm, milk, fried eggs, and toast. Shizuka taught me how to make it in one go, and I learned it right away." Shirou nodded in agreement. In fact, the first breakfast he made was better than the one Shizuka made; he seemed to have quite a talent for it.
"Shizuka! How could you let Shirou-kun make breakfast for you!" Hiratsuka family's mother scolded.
"Eh..." Shizuka Hiratsuka, was also caught in the crossfire.
"No, I only do this because I like it. Shizuka protected me, so I take care of her at home," Shirou explained to the girl.
"Amazing! Absolutely amazing, Shirou-kun! You're even more mature than our daughter!" The Hiratsuka family couple said, looking at young Shirou with great emotion.
"Honey, didn't you say you were worried that Xiaojing wouldn't be able to get married? If they're mutually in love, then a younger age doesn't matter. You're six years older than me, aren't you? Once she leaves school, nobody will care!"
After the couple finished speaking, they looked at each other, both stunned, and fell into deep thought.
"Shirou-kun... do you like Shizuka?" Mrs. Hiratsuka looked at the boy, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.
"Yes, I like it the most~!" Without any hesitation, Shirou gave a bright and warm smile and answered loudly.
Chapter 556 Shizuka Hiratsuka's father tries to stop it
Since Shirou came into this world, she was the first person to gently help Shirou. She carried him from under the overpass back home, laid him on a comfortable sofa, changed him into clean clothes, fed him water, took him to bathe, protected him from fighting bad guys, and discussed the heroes in manga with him...
Recalling all these moments, the boy's smile became even brighter, as if radiating a holy light that illuminated the entire dining room several times over.
"Ah... what a dazzling smile... after seeing such a smile, can you still say what you were saying just now?" The Hiratsuka family father covered his eyes and looked at his wife, saying this.
"Xiao Jing... we should wait a few more years, okay..." Mrs. Hiratsuka looked at her daughter gently and pleaded.
"Dad! Mom! What are you trying to do?" Shizuka Hiratsuka shouted in exasperation, her face flushed.
