"She... said she admired my backbone," Yoshi answers with a tiny half-grin, cherry-picking the best part of the conversation to lead with. "She also didn't want me to harm you, and of course I told her I wouldn't. Otherwise... it seems as though she considers your future out of her hands and in your sister's. She didn't try to tell me to do anything, other than just make the best of my time at RHS. It was... a relief... but also somewhat disappointing that she wasn't taking more of an interest. I tried to encourage her to do otherwise, but... then she went to bed." He looks down the hall where Mei had exited, a pensive and confused look upon his face. Momiko nodded a little, "Well... she is who she is, Yoshi-kun. I don't think she's a bad person, she's just had so many struggles in her life. Many I don't know much about beyond what Tayoi has hinted at." Takano shook her head, "That's true and all, Onee-chan, but Mom's also kinda just a grumpy grumpface. Always so pessimistic and focused on her work and sex and science and plants... Even if she's had a hard life, I think she could try harder ."Momiko blushed, but didn't correct Takano. Because she didn't disagree. "She didn't even say I had to go yet," he adds. "Since I'm your guest, not hers, when I leave is... up to you, I guess? It... has gotten pretty late, though." That got Momiko back to the present, "O-Oh, right. Well, We need to be back to the dorms before midnight anyways. Though..." she shook her head, "I really should get back too. I'll give you a ride?" |

"I don't think she's bad either," Yoshi tells them both, in answer to Momiko's statement. "I just... wish she was better, for both of you." When Takano lists off their mother's points of focus, Yoshi does not miss "sex" among them, and he can't help thinking when he catches it about how her chest pushed open the silk robe she wore as they spoke. Fortunately, Momiko spoke again, and he was able to redirect his confused lust toward a healthier subject in a tight sweater-dress.
"Give... me a ride," he repeats a bit blankly, her phrasing colliding with current his train of thought in the most exciting way possible. Blinking rapidly, he shakes his head to try clearing it, quickly replying, "I mean... sure, absolutely. Yes please... and thank you." He wasn't entirely free of the imagery his brain had conjured, but at least he was no longer dumbstruck by it.

Momiko nodded, "Hai; I don't think Jio would mind you being in the limo again. He's kind of gruff, and over protective, but I think he actually likes you, Yoshi-kun."
At this point, they would both notice Takano yawning, "Yeah, getting back and getting to bed... that doesn't sound like a half bad idea. And I have homework to do still. Thank you for putting up with me, both of you."
The young woman bowed low, first to Momiko, then to Yoshi, "Hopefully we can hang out again some time, Tamori-sama?"
Momiko got out her phone and texted Jio as Takano did this.

"It was an honor to meet you and a pleasure to share your company, Asahina-san," he says, returning Takano's bow. "I'd really like to spend more time together again, all three of us, absolutely! Also... I think I'm close enough now to your sister... and your family... that you can call me 'Yoshi', too." He gives her a warm parting smile.

Takano giggles softly, "Nonsense; Next year you'll be my senpai, Tamori-sama. It would hardly do! And besides, my Onee-sama might think I was trying to steal you then~"
Takano grinned and walked away, waving over her shoulder. Momiko put her phone with a blush, "H-He's on his way. Jio that is."

"Are you... nervous about something, Momiko-chan?" Yoshi asks quietly, noticing her blush and stammer. He reaches out to take her free hand in his to comfort her, drawing closer as he does. It doesn't occur to him at all that her reaction might have something to do with Takano's parting jest about stealing him, and perhaps it's something else anyway.

"Heh... no, I'm fine. Just dumb little sisters~~"
She shoots a glance at Takano's retreating form before tapping his hand with her thumb, "Come on, we should get our shoes and such. Did you bring a jacket?"

"Heh... no, I'm fine. Just dumb little sisters~~" "Yeah, I... guess I wouldn't know," Yoshi says a little wistfully. She shoots a glance at Takano's retreating form before tapping his hand with her thumb, "Come on, we should get our shoes and such. Did you bring a jacket?" "Hm? Oh, no, it's been really warm all day," Yoshi replies. He gives her hand a reciprocal squeeze before releasing it so they can go together to collect his shoes from the maid. He won't put them on until they're out the front door of course, where he expects they'll be ending up shortly, to wait for the limo to be pulled around. |

Momiko puts on her shoes and jacket and meets Yoshi outside. It isn't even a minute before the limo pulls up, Jio stepping out of the driver's door to open the back door for them.
It is immediately apparent, as the two students get closer, that he smells strongly of lavender.

Yoshi finds the olefactory anomaly momentarily confusing, but he doesn't overtly react to it. Instead, he just gives the man a friendly nod and smile as he approaches. He allows Momiko to enter the car before him, both out of courtesy and so that if Jio had any parting questions or comments to offer, he could hear them somewhat privately before joining her.
