My luck can't be this good.
Not knowing that the girl in front of her was Mary Sue from another world, Kyōko let go of the candy in her hand, smiled at her, and said: "Sorry, I'll get another bag."
"Ah, um, thank you …" After taking the candy, Ai Amanuma stood in place and couldn't help but look at the girl in front of her again.
There was always an indescribable sense of familiarity, but the memory of her previous life was too long ago, and she couldn't remember where she had seen this girl.
At the side, Su Yu's expression changed slightly.
If it was someone who loved Kyōko's original work, they should be able to see some familiarity on her face. After all, the style of the two worlds is different. Seeing that Ai Amanuma was still standing in place, if she continued to think, it was only a matter of time before she was exposed.
She couldn't call out Kyōko right now, but hearing the girl's name, she was afraid that it would remind Ai Amanuma.
At this juncture, suddenly, a voice came from behind, interrupting Ai Amanuma's contemplation: "Ah, Ai-chan, what a coincidence, I see you outside again."
"Ah, Aunt Saiki," Hearing this voice, Ai Amanuma immediately left the familiar girl and turned to talk to Saiki Kurumi.
Su Yu's favorable impression of Saiki's family suddenly increased by several points.
She quietly stepped forward and pulled away Kyōko, who was still wandering around the shelves. After passing a few shelves, she let go of her hand, patted her chest, and sighed in relief.
"That girl just now … what's wrong?" Seeing Su Yu's serious face for the first time, Kyōko was so scared that she didn't dare to say a word. After walking a little further, she dared to ask softly.
"Ah, that girl is troublesome, it's better to stay away." Looking at the two people who were still talking, Su Yu thought for a moment, turned to Kyōko and said, "Kyōko, you go walk around other places first, I'll come find you when I'm done."
Suddenly understanding that Su Yu was going to do business again, Kyōko nodded, turned around, and walked away.
After arranging Kyōko's whereabouts, Su Yu returned to her usual unhurried appearance. She pretended to take something and wandered nearby. As she approached the two people, she heard Ai Amanuma say with a disappointed look: "… sometimes, compared to my own home, Aunt's home gives me a warmer feeling."
What kind of trick is this?
Hearing this, Su Yu couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
However, Saiki Kurumi didn't think so. She grabbed the hand of the girl in front of her with tears in her eyes and said: "What a poor child, you're so cute. It's okay, come to Aunt's house for dinner today, you can come as many times as you want!"
"Aunt is so good to me," Ai Amanuma also had a teary look, "You're not family, but you care about me more than family, I, I don't know how to thank you …"
Su Yu, who was eavesdropping across a shelf, had already calmed down.
It seemed that this was the trick they used to capture Saiki. Since nothing bad happened due to the abuse of power, she didn't have any reason to stop them.
But was Amanuma's family that unfriendly?
As the owner of a shop with excellent after-sales service, Su Yu decided to do an on-site investigation. If there was indeed a problem with the family she chose when she reincarnated, she should help her solve it.
She took the radar that she used at Atobe's house and found Kyōko, and the two returned to the shop.
Jingzi blinked and whispered, "Be careful on your way back." Su Yu looked like he was about to go out again after returning the items to Jingzi.
She knew that Su Yu had always been unwilling to let her know about the shop's business, and she was also afraid that she would be sad because of her reduced lifespan. Since this was the case, she didn't ask much, and quietly did her best to support her.
Su Yu changed a few of the products she carried with her, said goodbye to her, and left the alley where the shop was located.
When she followed the radar to find Ai Amanuma, she had just returned home. It seemed that the progress at Saiki's house was not as smooth as she imagined. Now, although she was emitting a faint light at night, she looked listless.
Su Yu stood on the telephone pole in front of Amanuma's house. The night cloak on her body made it difficult for her to be discovered at night. After watching Ai Amanuma enter the house, she turned over and jumped into the yard.
"I have to admit that sometimes superpowers are really convenient …" Rummaging through the space on her wrist, Su Yu took out something that looked like a lens and stuck it on the wall.
As soon as the lens was attached to the wall, the scene in the house was reflected through the lens. Su Yu moved her face closer.
What she saw was Amanuma's mother taking her daughter's school bag. The woman with long brown hair was wearing home clothes, and it was obvious that she was a full-time housewife. She kept muttering, "You're finally back. Where did you go to play today? If you come home late in the future, remember to tell your family. Whether it's your mom or dad, they will be worried about you …"
Ai Amanuma was silent. She took off her shoes, casually threw them at the entrance, and entered the house.
Her expression was completely different from when she was in school, but even so, under the effect of her angelic blood, the woman didn't think that she was gloomy at all. Instead, she was still enthusiastic and chatty.
"The rice is still hot in the pot. Today, I made Xiao 'ai's favorite saury. Hurry up and wash your hands …"
Before the woman could finish speaking, she heard Ai Amanuma interrupt her in a low voice. "I already ate outside."
"Ah …" Amanuma's mother's hand, which was holding the coat, froze in the air. She was stunned for a moment before she said, "Ah, it's okay. I'll eat it tomorrow. Xiao 'ai, do you want to take a shower now?"
"Don't worry about this kind of thing." Ai Amanuma's behavior was completely different from when she was in school. She left without looking back and went upstairs. "You're not my real mother …"
The woman, who was still looking at the stairs, was silent for a long time. Under the influence of her angelic blood, she quickly found a reason to forgive Ai Amanuma. After standing in place for a while, she silently turned back to the kitchen and put away all the food she had prepared for her daughter.
Su Yu, who was standing outside the house, was silent for a while. She looked at the woman's figure for a long time without speaking. Although she couldn't understand Ai Amanuma's thoughts, this state of mind was undoubtedly harmful.
She was like a taut spring that only relaxed when she was at home. On the one hand, it proved that she had indeed regarded her current family as the closest people. On the other hand, it showed that she didn't know how to cherish this more precious thing. Instead, she seemed to be thinking about her family in her previous life.
She really couldn't understand.
Compared to her family, did she value the evaluation of her classmates at school more? Was the warmth that she felt now not comparable to the warmth that she had in her memory?
After thinking for a moment, she turned and left Amanuma's house.

The next day, when she arrived at school, she unexpectedly saw Ai Amanuma's gentle smile again. Su Yu quietly turned her head.
Since she didn't understand what precious thing she had thrown aside, she would help her see it clearly.
Before the detailed plan was finalized, Niaoshu Lingta came over with a bright smile.
The moment she saw him, Su Yu recalled that she had promised Niaoshu to watch a movie this afternoon.
"Are you done packing, Su Yu?" He walked over with his bag. "Of course, it's fine if you let me wait for another 30 minutes."
"Won't the movie start if you wait for another 30 minutes?" Su Yu looked at him with a faint smile. She picked up her bag and walked out. "I don't watch movies that don't start."
"That's true. Then let's not delay …" Niaoshu quickly followed her footsteps and approached the girl. His hand on the side of his body began to move. He quietly put it on the girl's shoulder.
But before he could put his hand on her shoulder, the girl suddenly took a step to the side and hooked his foot. Niaoshu Lingta lost his balance and fell face first in the hallway.
"Ah, Toriko-kun, are you okay?" Su Yu quickly squatted down with concern.
The boy on the ground raised his head and gave her a thumbs up with a trembling hand. "I'm fine. I'm still alive …"
Looking at him like this, Su Yu couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and pulled the boy up. "I was wondering why you suddenly fell down. If you're fine, then let's go."
Seeing how hardworking he was, she felt a little embarrassed to bully him.
Niaoshu, who was pulled by the girl, forgot everything that had just happened. He excitedly followed the girl and left the school.
After the two left, the door of the classroom next door opened. Saiki was hiding inside.
[Aiya, aiya, what is that transfer student called Su Yu trying to do? I feel like it's not that simple. If I leave Niaoshu alone, I might see a male high school student murdered in a movie theater on the newspaper the next day.]
[There's no other way. Let's go take a look.]

In the movie theater, Su Yu found her seat while holding the popcorn. Taking advantage of the darkness, she took off the disguise glasses she usually wore and put on the 3D glasses given by the theater. She planned to watch the movie properly.
Niaoshu, who was beside her, became restless after she took off the glasses. Unfortunately, the movie theater was too dark. He couldn't see the girl's face clearly under the wide 3D glasses. He could only comfort himself that he would be able to see it after the movie ended.
Unfortunately, before the movie ended, he held his stomach and said that he needed to go to the bathroom. Su Yu held the popcorn and waved at him. She didn't even look at him.
But when the boy returned to his seat, her hand holding the popcorn paused in the air. She couldn't help but look at the boy next to her.
