Mother and Daughter
The chapter got deleted; I don't know why..and I can't even remember what I wrote.
Also, I'm in the middle of my exams and don't have time to think about anything else.
So, the chapter is a bit short.
Sorry about that...

The boy raised his eyes and said, "My precious tool for just a simple kiss? This is a bad deal for me."
"Ugh," what do you mean?
"When we return to Tokyo, make sure to bring the rest of what's owed. As for the fair deal, of course it must be of equal value."
Mu Xiaoxiao ruffled her hair, "Kotone, see you in Tokyo."
Watching him and Shizuka leave in a daze, Kamishiro Kotone murmured in a voice that only she could hear, "Well...see you in Tokyo."
Her mood improved again, and she couldn't wait to fly back to Tokyo now.
As she turned around with anticipation, she saw her mother standing behind her, and her expression froze...
Lady Saya's gaze fixed intently on the ring in her fingers, her smile unusually warm and radiant.
"Kotone..."
.
.
.
"Kotone, that ring..."
Saya stood behind Kamishiro Kotone and almost stretched out her hand.
There was no concealed desire in her straight eyes, blooming with a faint light.
Her naked expression made the young's lady's throat move.
"Mom?" instinctively clutching the ring closer, covering it in her palm, shielding it from view, the girl anxiously made a gesture to leave, "I'll go, go to my room first."
"What are you going to do in your room? We're going to eat soon." Saya quickly grabbed her daughter's clothes to prevent her from escaping, and asked hesitantly, "That ring...can you show it to mom?"
"don't want!"
Kotone's reaction was more intense than expected.
The gentle young lady quickly broke away from her mother's hand and took several steps back. "This, this is the gift Xiaoxiao gave me..."
"I know mom won't take your things," said Kamishiro Saya, who was helpless by her daughter's attitude...spoke, her voice tinged with a hint of complexity.
She couldn't believe her daughter was guarding her like a thief...but then again she...
"I just want to take a look at it, Kotone. I'll give it back to you after taking a look."
"..."
Kamishiro Kotone also felt that her reaction was a bit exaggerated.
How could her mother take away her things?
Even though her eyes just looked like she wanted to eat her alive...
'Am I too nervous?'
She walked up, took out the beautiful ring, and handed it to her mother.
"Such a good child,"
Kamishiro Saya took it with a smile. Her smile was bright, but her hands were trembling a little.
She picked up the ring with trembling little white jade hands, and a warm touch bloomed in her palms.
It was slightly cool to the touch, but just touching it made her heart race.
Although the shape was different, but she don't know why, it felt almost the same as her own diamond ring.
"Mom, can I have it back now?"
Kotone stood nearby and stared at her mother, looking at her ring.
Seeing that her mother was silent, she couldn't help but speak up.
However she didn't get any response..
Her mother was still staring blankly at the ring.
...
'But this ring seemed to have no special power. Could it be that I can't trigger it?
Or was it only Kotone who could use it? My diamond ring used to have this function.
.....
"Mother?"
....
He said that this ring can protect Kotone... As expected, it is also a powerful prop, and the methods are so similar.
Mu Xiaoxiao and that person... what exactly is their relationship? Are they really the same person?
But his age...
...
"Mom!" There was no response after calling a few times...Kotone couldn't stand it anymore and stretched out her hand.
__
"Um?"
As soon as Mrs. Saya woke up, she saw Kotone suddenly grabbing the ring, as if she was going to take it away, and her reflexive hand tightened to stop her daughter's move.
The two of them grasped the ring at the same time and looked at each other.
"Give it to me quickly!" Kotone was anxious.
__
Lady Saya hesitated for a while and looked around with a guilty look, "Kotone, it's not a big deal for boys to give gifts, but a ring is quite special, it's better if..."
What does she mean?
____
Kamishiro Kotone still didn't let go, biting her lip, she looked at her always gentle mother and whispered.
"Mom, you said it was just to look."
____
"Of course, mom won't take it away; she's just keeping it for you temporarily."
She found a convenient excuse.
_
"I don't want to!" Kotone pulled hard.
_
The mother and daughter were in a stalemate.
"This is what Xiaoxiao gave me, you can't take it away-"
Seeing her daughter getting upset, Mrs. Saya struggled for a long time and finally let go.
After all, this ring was mainly to protect Kotone.
"Okay, Kotone, I'll give it to you," she let go of her hand angrily and rubbed Kamishiro Kotone's head, "It's just a ring, look how worked up you got."
Kotone didn't speak, she just stuffed the ring into her arms, clutching it to her chest, like she was holding a treasure, and secretly made up her mind never to show it to anyone else again, even her family...
