SFS Chapter 171: Pillow and Sister
Chapter 171: Pillow and Sister
Although Glass was not present just now, she basically heard the conversation between Su Ze and Nanami.
She sat on the sofa next to her desk, wiggling her toes and scolding, "...You're still using such a rogue method to force people to put their products on the shelves."
She was a little surprised that Yu Su Ze would use this method to retain people.
...This is an unreasonable and rogue way of playing tricks.
This is totally out of character for him.
Su Ze wiped off the old actor who had been in his nose and replied: "The teacher in our place said that we should teach students in accordance with their aptitude"——"
Su Ze threw away the toilet paper, picked up the kettle and poured a cup of hot water, and said softly: "For other people, this method may not be appropriate... but for Qi Hai, it is just right."
Su Ze opened the drawer on the other side of the desk, which was filled with snacks. He took out a large bag of potato chips and handed it to Nitro.
Glass hesitated for half a second before taking it, tore open the bag, pinched two pieces, and tasted them briefly.
Su Ze bent down and took out another bag of snacks. He ate while saying, "Qi Hai and Jie, they are very similar in some ways—"
"Hmm? Are you saying that they all care too much about other people~" Nitro hugged the cushion on the sofa with a big bag of potato chips in her arms.
The crisp sound of crackling echoed in the office.
"Probably," Su Ze put a QQ candy in his mouth and replied with his chin in his hand, "They care about the people around them... This is a good thing——"
His hands kept moving, gently pinching the apple-flavored candy, "But caring too much about others will make them ignore their own feelings..."
Gaozi looked down at the big bag of potato chips and whispered, "Just like that summer with Xia Yu..."
Su Ze nodded.
She handed the chips back to Suze and pressed her face against the light gray doggie pillow.
——A few months ago, Tenriko went to a festival with her colleagues. When she came back, she had two pillows in her arms, one white and one gray.
One is shaped like a long cat, and the other is a slightly funny gray puppy - the one that Glass is holding in her arms now.
Tennantori came to Suze excitedly to show off her spoils. She said, "This is the gift I won in the shooting game. I have been eyeing these two pillows for a long time--"
After saying that, he pulled the two pillows forward, and the cat's head and the dog's head were about to hit Su Ze's face...
She probably wanted Su Ze to praise her a little.
"...So, how much did these two pillows cost?" Su Ze tilted his head to avoid the two long pillows that were stretching forward.
He asked with a strange look on his face and raised an eyebrow.
"Um, three thousand yen...about?" Tennenoriko tapped her chin and frowned, her little head unable to comprehend for a moment.
"...Look at what's written on it again."
Su Ze covered his face and pointed at the tag dangling under the pillow.
Upon hearing that, Tenriko held up the sign, and it took her ten seconds to go from having a blank expression to having tears in her eyes.
——The tag reads, "Suggested retail price 1,000 yen."
She looked up at Su Ze with trembling hands and said aggrievedly: "Su Ze, have I been deceived..."
She seemed to feel extremely frustrated and even whimpered a little...
"Oh..." Su Ze was a little amused and helpless for a moment.
For the past ten years, Tenriko has been bound by her identity as a "star plasma body", attending a closed church school and having her life freedom restricted to a certain extent.
The way she learned about the outside world was mostly through Kuroi Misato - through this maid who had been with her since she was a child and was like both a sister and a friend.
So, even after she came to the technical college, she was still taken care of by others...especially Su Ze.
At least according to the feedback from Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru, during the high school period alone, Suze had scolded Ms. Riko for her excessive vitality more than ten times -
It was probably because he and Tenriko had been partners for a long time that he looked like a worried big brother.
"Sigh..." Su Ze sighed softly.
In other words, Tenno Riko is a girl who is full of energy, lively and smart, but surprisingly simple-minded.
Su Ze knew this the moment he saw her for the first time.
to be honest--
"She is not suitable for the world of spellcasting."
The sorcerer lives with death every day.
For them, this is almost like afternoon tea.
Dullness comes at an unknown time...it is inevitable.
The magician is a being made up of a sudden interweaving of gray and red tones - the scarlet color is their own blood.
But Tennariko is different. She has the emerald green of herbs, the bright white of clouds, and the light gold of the morning sun. She is bright and beautiful.
She is very similar to Haibara, they are always full of energy.
No matter how gloomy a person is, he will feel happy when he is with them.
It is because of people like this, and because of people like them by my side...
It is because of this that people understand the meaning of "life"; it is because of this that people feel that they are "alive" from the bottom of their hearts.
Even for Su Ze, the thought that after the so-called "coup", there would be more children like Riko - just thinking about this, his inner belief became firmer.
Su Ze exhaled softly and looked at the aggrieved Miss Lizi. He slowly reached out and gently pulled out the gray puppy pillow from her arms.
"Of course I wasn't cheated. Things at the festival are of course more expensive. What's more, you got to experience the fun of shooting an air rifle..."
Su Ze held the long pillow and tapped Li Zi gently on the head.
With tears in her eyes, Riko raised her head and looked at Suze sadly, stumbling over her words, "Really...?"
Su Ze's eyes were gentle and he responded to her with a chuckle.
"Of course."
……
The grey dog pillow was also left in the office. On the sofa, which was obviously more business-style, there was a grey pillow that looked like a girl's toy.
"I'm very happy, so I'll give it to you reluctantly... No, give it to Sister Glass..." Before leaving, Tenriko buried her head in the other pillow and muttered softly.
"Thank you Miss Riko for the gift." Su Ze thanked with a smile.
"Hehe! Remember this lady's gift--" She ran away with the cat pillow in her hand.
Later, one day, when Ms. Kurokawa came to report on her work, she noticed the pillow on the sofa with a clearly different style.
"...Hmm?" Miss Kurokawa, who was dressed in formal attire, tilted her head and even put on glasses to observe.
"Where did this come from? You wouldn't buy something like this, would you?" She looked at Su Ze in confusion.
Su Ze glanced over there when he heard that, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, "This is a holiday gift from my spoiled little sister to my big brother."
He smiled and responded casually.
"?" Miss Kurokawa was confused for a moment.

The next episode is super sweet.
