"Mom, I can explain!" Shizuka Hiratsuka's survival instincts were extremely strong.
"What do you want to explain? Even though you smoke, drink, street race, fight, and so on, you still know you're a good woman?" Sogo Doma said in Mrs. Hiratsuka's voice, sounding heartbroken. "I don't remember raising you to be like this!"
"..." Shizuka Hiratsuka felt that what he said made so much sense that she was left speechless. Was this what they meant by "like mother, like daughter"? No, how did her mother know about all the things she did outside?
"Shizuka Hiratsuka, so you've been hiding all that violent behavior from your family?" Sogo Doma switched back to his normal voice and teased.

"It's fine. If things don't work out, then try dating Sogo instead. That way, he still won't be an outsider..." Sogo Doma began burying her in the pit.
"Pfft..." Shizuka Hiratsuka sprayed again from the other end
