My girlfriend is actually myself.

Chapter 37 Household Registration, School Enrollment, and Mother

Breakfast was quickly cleared from the table, and in the spacious living room, Tsukimiya Aoi sat on the sofa, holding a folder and flipping through it.

Chihaya Asakura led Natsune Yukimiya around the house, showing her her access permissions to the access control system. The house was large, with high-end and complete appliances. The access control system was complex, with electronic locks on the first floor of the tower, the elevator, and the main entrance.

After the house presentation, Asakura Chihaya said to Yukimiya Natsune, "This was specially arranged by the madam..."

"No, not intentionally." Aoi Tsukimiya's voice came from the side.

Asakura Chihaya corrected herself: "This is a place that Madam did not prepare specifically. Madam does not usually live here, so please make use of it, Miss Yukimiya. If you need anything, please instruct the property management or ask Airi. Airi comes here every day after school, so please feel free to use her."

Yukimiya Natsune thought to herself, "Is this a free luxury penthouse?"

Although it only grants the right to use the property, not ownership, it's still quite generous.

Moreover, it's not far from my home, less than a 20-minute walk, and it's very close to Mori no Oka Academy, where I can see the school's playground through the window.

"Miss Yukimiya, please change your clothes first." Asakura Chihaya opened the wardrobe door in the dressing room, bowed to Yukimiya Natsune, and left the room.

There was no maid service to help with dressing, what a disappointment!

The wardrobe is filled with clothes, some with labels, most without. Those with labels are brands often endorsed by celebrities.

Yukimiya Natsune found a burgundy dress among them. Although the design was slightly different, it was clearly a set with the one Tsukimiya Aoi was wearing.

This burgundy long dress takes up a large area and is very eye-catching, clearly a hint from Tsukimiya Aoi.

She gave me a house and even made matching outfits for us. This adoptive mother treated me, her substitute, better than most biological mothers and daughters. Although her personality was a bit off.

If Tsukimiya Aoi had gone through the normal adoption process, they might have been able to develop a healthy mother-daughter relationship. However, the other party chose a blatant transaction.

Did she treat Tsukimiya Ruri the same way before?

Yukimiya Natsune didn't pick up the burgundy dress. The color and the slit in the leg made her brow twitch; she simply couldn't appreciate it.

She picked up a little black dress and took off her T-shirt and jeans. She had only ever taken off teenage clothes before, and this was the first time she had taken off her own, so she felt a little awkward.

There were also underwear in the drawer next to the wardrobe. Besides those without labels and those with famous brands, there was also a common brand with a logo of a patch of grass. This was the brand of the bra she and he bought at the mall.

Without changing her underwear, she put on a little dress. There was a pile of jewelry in the display case next to the wardrobe, but she didn't take it; she didn't like the feeling of foreign objects on her skin.

Stepping out of the dressing room and into the living room, the figure in the burgundy dress on the sofa looked up and glanced at her.

Yukimiya Natsune noticed that the other person frowned, then showed a nostalgic expression, his eyes briefly glazed over, and a smile appeared on his lips.

It seems that Tsukimiya Ruri isn't exactly an obedient child. Her rebellious behavior has made Tsukimiya Aoi miss her daughter.

Thinking about it this way, is it because Tsukimiya Aoi didn't go through the normal adoption procedures because she was afraid that she would be too obedient and not like her daughter? Yukimiya Natsune had a little conspiracy theory.

"Let's go, let's finish the formalities as soon as possible." Tsukimiya Aoi stopped smiling and stood up.

They went together to the city hall, which is Japan's version of a government service center where most procedures can be handled.

Without queuing or waiting, Yukimiya Natsune had her photo taken, signed several documents, and waited a while before receiving all her identification documents.

First, there's the household registration certificate. The name column says Yukimiya Natsune, and the mother column says Tsukimiya Aoi. There was no adoption process; Tsukimiya Aoi directly registered her as her daughter, giving her a completely new identity.

Then there's my personal identification number card, health insurance card, bank card, credit card, and even a motorcycle driver's license.

In Japan, you can get a motorcycle license if you are 16 years old or older.

"I'm confiscating this." Tsukimiya Aoi picked up the driver's license and handed it to Asakura Chihaya.

She got the driver's license easily, but that doesn't mean she's comfortable letting the girl ride a motorcycle.

"There's one more thing," Tsukimiya Aoi asked Yukimiya Natsune, "which school are you going to?"

Even wealthy families cannot completely escape the government's education system.

She rattled off a list of private schools: "St. Lily Academy? Philia Girls' Academy? Sakura Hill? Lillian? Kazekoshi?"

These schools are all women's colleges, admitting only female students.

"Choose whichever one you want," Tsukimiya Aoi said arrogantly. "Hurry up and choose, I have things to do back home."

"Any school is fine?" Yukimiya Natsune looked up and gazed into Tsukimiya Aoi's eyes.

"Of course, where are you going?" Tsukimiya Aoi tossed her hair, looking very confident.

Tokiwadai.

"What school is this? I've never heard of it before, is it some third-rate institution?"

"Just kidding," Yukimiya Natsune corrected herself, "Mori no Oka."

The boys' school is in Mori no Oka, so if you go there to study, you can stick together during study time.

"No way!" Tsukimiya Aoi immediately objected.

The reason she chose a girls' school was that she didn't want any random men to abduct her adopted daughter. Mori no Oka was the school that random man attended, so how could she send her daughter into the lion's den!

"But you just promised that anywhere would be fine." Yukimiya Natsune had already set a trap for Tsukimiya Aoi.

This arrogant foster mother seems even easier to fool than her silly younger sister.

Tsukimiya Aoi swayed slightly. Her pride prevented her from breaking her promise, but going to Mori no Oka was impossible!

"Mother, please let me go to Mori no Oka Academy." Yukimiya Natsune raised her head and pleaded earnestly.

Tsukimiya Aoi's heart was struck by the girl's address. She took a step back and braced herself against the wall. The words "Mother" echoed in her ears, making her dizzy, as if she were falling into the sea or rising into the clouds.

"Mother, please ask Chihaya-neechan to help me enroll in school." Yukimiya Natsune added insult to injury by grasping Tsukimiya Aoi's hand.

By the time Tsukimiya Aoi regained consciousness, Asakura Chihaya had already completed all the formalities. Mori no Oka was a public academy, so the procedures could be completed at the city hall.

For the first time, the lady resented her privileges; the process had gone too fast!

She wondered if she could use adult methods to stop it, but Yukimiya Natsume took her arm and said, "It's time to go home, Mother."

Fine, Mori no Oka it is then. Let's put them in the two classes furthest apart!

She glanced at Yukimiya Natsune: "You won't gain anything by flattering me."

Who says there are no benefits? This is how we get into Mori no Oka!

Besides, how can something between a mother and daughter be called flattery? It's about intimacy. If I'm not close to her, you'll be complaining to Asakura Chihaya again.

Being a maid in the Tsukimiya household is truly not easy. Not only do they have to do housework, but they also have to satisfy their master's private needs and bear the filth accumulated by their master.

Speaking of which, Asakura Chihaya said before that Airi would come to be a maid after school?

In the LINE message, Airi Asakura mentioned being dragged to help by her mother, which turned out to refer to this matter. It's a pity, as she doesn't currently have any personal needs.

Moreover, the class's most beautiful girl seems unaware that the person she's helping is herself.
