In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 289 Tea Party (2)

Here is the corner, not very noticeable.

"I told you to leave me alone, you uh Uesugi?"

Uesugi Kai smiled and said, "Is this the puzzled expression when you see your old classmate?"

Takahiro Tsubokawa pushed the mirror frame with his middle finger, and the corner of his mouth raised, "I just didn't expect to meet in this situation. I thought I could see you running for prime minister on NHK."

"It's thankless, I'm just a commoner, just live a stable life." Uesugi Kai handed him the plate with biscuits in his hand.

Takahiro Tsubokawa put away the mobile phone that was still in the game, grabbed a piece of biscuit and threw it into his mouth, biting and saying, "Well, it's a stable life, but it's a life that many people envy. Like me, I'm urged by my family every day give birth to offspring."

"You don't want to?" Uesugi Kai looked at his small suit with a bow, which seemed to be sold as a gift.

I guess I didn't want to attract attention, so I came to sit in this corner.

"Women are so troublesome, can she be as understanding as the wife in my phone?"

"Maybe."

"It's not like everyone is your Uesugi." Takahiro Tsubokawa shook his head, "I used to bite the bullet and went to the itinerary arranged by my parents, and the other family runs an airline company. Really, a super domineering young lady who loves to order people around Needless to say, the plane must be a private jet, the boat must be a private yacht, and the car must be a foreign car with the left-hand driver seat.”

"Hypocritical."

"you do not say."

"When traveling in Europe, if she forgets to bring the paper towels she usually uses to wipe her mouth, she will not buy them. Instead, she will send someone to fly back on a private jet, thousands of kilometers from Europe to Japan, to take away the pile of custom-made mouth wipes at home. Bring the paper towels!"

"...Is there really such a person?"

"Do you think it's exaggerated?" Takahiro Pingchuan smiled, "Since I was a child, I have been served with delicious food and drink. I can have whatever I want, can I not? Her family is rich, and there are people who are willing to fly planes for money. She takes the paper, for her, she can satisfy her wishes casually, why don't she open her mouth?"

That being said, it really makes sense.

Ordinary people see it as a waste, but the other party sees it as a reasonable use of the resources around them to satisfy themselves.

Huahuo was also spoiled by her father since she was a child. Although she is not that rich, she has not developed that kind of character.

Takahiro Tsubokawa continued: "So, getting along with women is tiring."

"Are you looking for something more ordinary?" Kaoru Uesugi tried to suggest, he felt that this kind of thinking was too one-sided.

"My parents won't agree, they want me to marry and serve that young lady," Takahiro Pingchuan grabbed another biscuit to eat, "Let me tell you, life is for yourself, why bother with more money for future generations Can't you find it fast for yourself?"

Most people just want multiple couples who share responsibilities and live together.

Use this to gain happiness.

As for Pingchuan, he probably doesn't worry much about life, and he is already surrounded by ample life.

"How do I feel that you are in Versailles." Kai Uesugi accidentally remembered the vocabulary he saw on the Internet.

"Have you watched "The Rose of Versailles"? I thought that no one would look through animations from decades ago like me."

"The meaning of this is to deliberately show off with strange distress, suggesting a life of abundance."

"Why haven't I heard this term before?" Takahiro Tsubokawa didn't hesitate, he reached out to take the juice brought to them by the waiter, and said thank you, "I'm not showing off, I'm just telling my troubles."

Every Versailles will say that, but it is even more Versailles.

Uesugi Kai: "I still don't know what your family does."

"Grandpa's company has only a few subsidiaries. It mainly deals in toys and sideline entertainment. In recent years, there is a library website that has done well." Takahiro Pingchuan pointed furtively at the middle-aged man who was talking with someone on the other side. , "That's my dad. I'll tell you secretly that he is also married. He dare not mess with my mother."

Uesugi Kai has no intention of commenting on other people's family affairs, but is only interested in the library website he mentioned:

"Surpass Generation?"

"Huh?" Takahiro Tsubokawa stopped drinking juice, turned his head to look at Kai Uesugi who was sitting beside him, "How do you know, you also read light novels?"

"I just went to the company over there recently."

Tsubokawa Takahiro looked at him in astonishment: "The high-achieving students in the third category of liberal arts at the University of Tokyo have also started writing light novels?"

"That's not true, it's just that Huahuo took over the job over there and was responsible for the illustration of one of the works, and accompanied her to discuss matters."

"Oh~ which one is it?"

Kaoru Uesugi recalled the email Hanabi showed him, "Miss Miko is a Fox Demon."

"I have the impression that he is the author of "Chasing the Stars", right?"

"It should be." In fact, Kai Uesugi only knows the works that Hanabi is in charge of illustrations.

"It's a pity that the last work was not popular," Takahiro Tsubokawa put down the goblet of fruit juice in his hand, "The main reason is that the illustrator was not invited, and the illustration became a point deduction item, and he was a newcomer, so there was no topic. .”

"If the novel is sold, the illustrator can get more money, right?"

"Usually the selling price is a single sheet. Even if the novel becomes popular because of the illustration, the illustrator will not pay a penny more. This industry is not fair to the illustrator. But the specific situation depends on the cooperation contract.

"Are you and Hanamaru both short of money? Do you want me to help? Although I'm poor and can't even afford a new game console, I can still say something on the company website."

As soon as he finished speaking, he became puzzled again, "No, not long ago, you just got the bonus for archery. Even if the tax is deducted for [-] million yen, it won't be spent so soon. You bought a yacht?"

Kai Uesugi: "I want to buy a villa with a bamboo garden in Tokyo."

"... This kind of house is not easy to buy in Tokyo." Takahiro Tsubokawa said very euphemistically, "Hanamaru's house is quite suitable. It has bamboo and a garden. You can try to make your father-in-law relax."

The Hanamaru family refers to the Hanamaru family of Grandpa Hanabi.

Over there in Shiya District.

Kai Uesugi knew that he was joking, no matter how Grandpa Hanabi was not just Hanamaru Hiroki's son, it was not clear who would be the next generation owner of such a big house.

"Then I guess I have to marry."

"Haha, yes."

"Pingchuan!"

A pair of siblings came by.

The boy was dressed in casual clothes and a light blue jacket, while the girl's dress was simple and unremarkable.

"Pingchuan." The boy greeted him with a smile on his face, then turned around and extended his hand to Shangsugi Kai eagerly, "Hello, I am Qiuyue Xingzhong, and this is my sister, Qiuyue Chunzhong."

"Hi, Uesugi Kai."

I didn't know him at first, and Uesugi Kai didn't care, but when he saw the three cherry blossom family crests hanging on his waist, he recalled it vaguely, and subconsciously asked:

"You play kendo?"

"You know?" Qiuyue Xingzhong obviously didn't realize that he would ask this.

"I just saw you brother and sister on the subway by chance. That day you were holding a wooden knife storage bag with Qinghai wave texture."

"That's such a coincidence! Do you also practice kendo? Do you want to try to learn from each other if you have the opportunity?"

"I don't practice, but I am very interested recently." Uesugi Kai said.

"That's great! It doesn't matter if you don't, you can be motivated if you are interested." Qiuyue Xingzhong seems to be very enthusiastic about this topic, "If you need it, I can ask a priest to guide me personally, and I can also help with the tuition of the Kendo Hall. your turn."

".Need not."

"Don't refuse so quickly, here, if you want to start practicing kendo, you can contact me, we can learn from each other and improve together."

Qiuyue Xingzhong left a contact information, then ran to the other side to continue greeting others.

The younger sister talks less, but the older brother talks more.

weirdo.

"Pingchuan, are you familiar with them?" Uesugi Kai asked after the Qiuyue brothers and sisters left.

"I've met a few friends. The Qiuyue family is also a guy who is very enthusiastic about making friends. I heard that there is an ancestral school of swordsmanship in the family."

The genre of swordsmanship sounds mysterious, but in fact it is only for strengthening the body, and it cannot make people one against five.

"Akizuki Clan, Chikuzen Country," Uesugi Kai recalled the history he had learned, "Isn't it a family from the Warring States Period."

"You have a really good memory," Takahiro Tsubokawa said with a smile, and inserted a piece of strawberry to eat, "If you want me to say, most of the continuations are to put gold on your face, so many changes, the blood relationship has long been unknown Where is the thinness, as long as you have status, open the history book, and find a big banner to fight against according to your surname."

He clapped his hands and picked up his phone to play the game again.

To Uesugi Kai, this tea party is nothing more than eating and drinking, and Hanabi was also brought here by Sakaki Kitagawa for fun.

The cakes were fine.

"I'm going to the toilet."

"Well, let's go."

This is a luxury building, so the bathroom should naturally be brightened.

Uesugi Kai really couldn't get used to this kind of aristocratic thing, and he didn't know why, but he felt a little disgusted when he saw it.

Just when he entered the men's room, he saw a little loli poking his head inside, and quickly retreated into the cubicle when he saw that someone seemed to be coming.

If you read correctly, the little hat on the head of the little loli is so tilted that it is about to fall off.
Uesugi Kai walked in quite speechlessly, stood in front of a closed cubicle, and said to the inside: "Aiyi, this is the men's toilet."

"I know, it's the toilet!" Aiyi inside obviously recognized his voice, and after being happy, she became fearless.

"Come out, the girls' toilet is next door."

"Why can't girls and boys pee together?" Aiyi didn't seem to want to come out, "Brother wants to go to the toilet, I can let him in."

"Because the structure is different." Kaoru Uesugi made up a random reason, "And whoever wants to go to your cubicle, can I go next to it?"

"The structure is different.? Ugh, maybe it's a boy."

"Okay, come out quickly." Uesugi Kaoru was afraid that if she continued talking, he would be charged with harassment.

This is a little loli in the men's room. As long as she yells loudly, many things will be difficult to explain clearly.

"do not want!"

"come out faster."

"Don't~"

"come out faster."

"My brother is molesting me, and even touching my flat chest." Aiyi suddenly said this in the inside.

Uesugi Kai felt his forehead tighten instantly, he was such a brat, "Even if you don't want to come out, don't threaten me like that."

"This is a countermeasure."

You don't need to remind me, Kaoru Uesugi knows that she is just being naughty, so she hides and doesn't want to show her face:

"Come out, I'll take you to eat strawberry cake."

The door opened directly, and Aiyi in the uniform of a primary school student came out from the cubicle and looked up at him:
"Strawberry Cake!"

Kaoru Uesugi had nothing to say to her anymore, he would see if anyone was coming before taking her out.

He was really afraid of being seen by the sneaky way of poking his head, saying that he was perverted, and even elementary school students would not be spared.

In the corridor, Uesugi Kai looked at the little loli looking around in front of him:
"Tell me, why did you go to the men's room to pee? Did someone take you in on purpose? Where's your sister?"

"Brother, don't worry~"

Uesugi Kai took a deep breath and tried to force a smile on his face: "Okay, let me ask slowly, first of all, why is Aiyi in the men's room?"

Aiyi: "I'm here to find Dad."

Dad live?
No, no, Uesugi Kai was almost taken sideways, "You came by yourself? Didn't any strange uncle take you?"

Aiyi put her hands behind her back and nodded her head.

The little head swayed up and down a lot, with a child's unique sense of restlessness.

"Don't lie to me, even if the other party tells you not to speak out, you still have to tell your brother."

Aiyi looked at him with bright eyes: "Is big brother worried about Aiyi? Don't worry, Aiyi has not been adopted, nor is she a lover."

Take care, lover.
It is really strange to say this kind of vocabulary from the mouth of a primary school student.

"Are these words learned from the book?"

"No," Aiyi said in a very simple declarative sentence, "I heard it from my mother. She always cried when she was on the phone and said that she was a lover who was abandoned, and she also told her father on the phone. , she herself is not important, the important thing is me and my sister, let my father give me more money for food."

Uesugi Kai pondered for a moment, and it took a while to digest this passage:

"Aiyi. Still believe that mother will come back?"

"Hmm!" said a firm voice.

"You and your sister have lived alone for half a year."

"That's right." Aiyi's mouth curved into a crescent moon.

Aiyi is quite cute, with a bit of a weird personality, but she is also a good boy.

But the more she laughed, the more Uesugi felt that their mother was irresponsible.

It's been half a year since I left it alone, and I haven't returned to that home once.

The woman also said that her two daughters were more important than herself.

ridiculous.

What she said was just to ask for some money with the help of her two daughters.

But Aiyi really believed what her mother used as an excuse to ask for money.

Willing to believe that woman really cares about both of them.

Aiyi is very smart, she must know her mother's attitude towards the two sisters.

As for why he still believes when he knows the truth—because he is "willing" to believe.

I can't find anything to believe in other than expecting my mother to come home.

"Why haven't you visited my house recently?" Uesugi Kai asked.

"Aiyi definitely wants to play in the past, but my sister said that I can't trouble my brother, so be polite."

Uesugi Kai knew that Qian Aiyi must have wanted to come here too, probably because he thought that the few people had nothing to do with each other, so he was too embarrassed to come to eat and drink, so please trouble Sister Huahuo and Brother.

The appearance of the little girl with the tear mole saluting respectfully also came to mind.

"Forget it, I'll take you to eat cake first."

Aiyi immediately jumped beside him and grabbed his clothes corner, "Okay, brother quickly take me there, when Aiyi just wanted to go in to play, they kept blocking me and wouldn't let me in."
