[Net King] Pilgrim

One meal made Machida feel full.

After walking around the yard, my mother had already gone upstairs to rest when she returned to the house, so she couldn't help but lighten her steps.

Machida Hisahi and Fuji Shusuke were sitting at the other end of the sofa talking about something, and didn't notice her approaching for a moment.

She stepped on the carpet in front of the coffee table, took a toothpick, and poked a piece of pineapple from the center of the fruit plate into her mouth.Bite down, so sour that she couldn't help squinting her eyes.

When Machida heard the sound, he raised his eyes and saw her features were crowded together and her face was distorted.With a low sigh, "Didn't you just say that you can't hold on? Now you can't keep your mouth idle."

Before the pulp was swallowed, Machida muttered, "Eating pineapple after a meal is good for digestion."

Machida saw her upright look, smiled lightly, "excuse."

"Is Hajime free this weekend?" Fujisuke suddenly asked with a smile.

Machida looked at him suspiciously.

"Ajiu and I are discussing going on an outing for two days on the weekend, as well as members of the tennis club. Do you want to go together?"

She was slightly taken aback, the aftertaste of pineapple juice was a bit astringent, and her mouth was dry.

He thought the proposal was too abrupt, and explained gently: "Actually, during lunch break today, Eiji said he wanted to travel to Shonan, and Echizen had just returned from the United States, and the tennis club hadn't gone out together for a long time, so we thought about organizing a trip."

At the end, he added: "You have met most of the team members in the department. Although you may not be familiar with them, everyone is easy to get along with." He paused, "And I remember that you and Echizen are in the same class, right?"

Echizen?

Machida originally wanted to explain that he didn't mind this very much, but he suddenly changed the subject and asked a question, but she started to stutter as soon as she spoke, "Ah, yes...we are in the same class."

Inexplicably flashing through her mind was Echizen Ryoma who was on duty this evening, holding a broom in his hand and handing it to her with a nonchalant look on his face.

Buer continued following the topic: "That's a familiar person. There is also Yinger, he and Ajiu are in the same class, and you have met a few times."

His tone sounded calm and comfortable, and he smiled very frankly. Machida didn't know how to answer for a while.

After all, that wasn't what she was going to say.

And these two people, she really doesn't know each other...

"I believe that everyone gets along well, and it's because of me." She subconsciously glanced at Machida Hisahi who had been silent all this time with the corner of her eyes.

He got a map out of nowhere and was writing and drawing on it.

"Because there is a very important debate next Monday." Her voice was apologetic, "I want to use this weekend to prepare again, so I won't go with everyone."

In fact, this is not the first time that Machida has rejected an invitation.

From the beginning when she entered Qingxue, there have been countless similar extracurricular activities, ranging from cultural and sports performances in the school to birthday parties among classmates. If she was not required to participate, she would push it almost as soon as she could.

She knows that loss is inevitable, both for her and for the one who invited it.Reasons for refusal are always good.

- Exams and competitions.

These two reasons with the highest frequency were certainly not excuses she used to prevaricate.In fact, she has been determined to become an excellent person since a long time ago, and she also understands that she needs to pay some price and work several times more than her peers.

The people of the Machida family seem to be born with the ability to "be able to do well even outside their own field". From grandfather to father, and even mother, they are all dragons and phoenixes.This innate trait has continued to her generation, and it is vividly displayed in Machida Hisashi.

Machida Hisashi is a genius, but Machida Kazu is not.She didn't want to be trapped in his halo.

This belief took root when she was very young, but she was still young. Under the framework of her identity as a student, grades and awards were the most direct ways she could think of to prove her excellence.

And in this process, it is bound to lose a lot of time with friends and sacrifice some opportunities to develop hobbies, but these are all inevitable.she thinks.

"That's right." Fuji Shusuke pondered for a moment, then smiled, "It's okay, the decision for this outing is a bit late, and not all members of the department participated, and there will be opportunities in the future." He looked at Hisashi Machida , "Right, Ajiu?"

The latter closed the pen cap, folded the map and put it on the coffee table, nodded, "Of course."

Machida looked at the two people in front of him who tried their best to comfort her, and pursed the corners of his lips, "Then I'll go back to my room first, you guys have fun this weekend."

The sound of the door closing came from the second floor, and Zhou Zhucai asked: "For the debate competition, is there any practice in the weekend club?"

Machida got up with an expression of "I knew you would ask such a question" and walked to the kitchen, "I decided to rest on the weekend just to let them relax."

In the second week of helping the club, the undeniable tone added some teasing, "I can't help it, who made my brother the president of the debating club."

Machida Hisahi took out a bag of snacks from the storage cabinet in the kitchen, "I wouldn't have bought so many sweet things if I had known."

He looked at the snacks piled up on the cooking table that made him feel sweet and greasy just by the packaging, and sighed helplessly: "Also as a brother, Zhou Zhu and I really have a lot of experience to share."

He hung his neck and looked at Fuji Shusuke, "At least in some respects, Hajime and Yuta are quite similar."

Bu Er smiled noncommittally, "I think she is more like another person."

Machida was taken aback for a moment, "Another person?"

-

Machida is very efficient in doing homework. Even on weekends when she has twice as much homework as usual, she can often finish all the parts that need to be written in one night on Friday, and the rest of the books on the reading list are the same. For weekend relaxation.

After crossing out the subtitles in the task book one by one, she let out a sigh of relief.

It was almost eight o'clock when I woke up the next morning.

The air in the autumn morning was still a bit stagnant, she took two steps after washing and took one step down the stairs.

My mother was drying the quilt in the yard, and saw her appearing in the living room with a confused face through the half-open French windows, rubbing her belly and looking around, and couldn't help smiling: "Breakfast is on the table in the dining room, go and eat."

As soon as Machida heard the words, it was like waking up from a dream, and moved to the restaurant on tiptoe.

There was only a Japanese breakfast for one person on the dining table, and she paused slightly before remembering last night that Machida Hisahi and the Seigaku Tennis Club went on an outing together on weekends.

It didn't take long for Machida Heyin to enter the house and saw her daughter sitting alone at the dining table eating with gusto, and she didn't seem particularly disappointed because she didn't go on an outing.She put the rattan racket in her hand on the shelf in the corner, her eyes softened, "Is there any arrangement for today?"

Machida chewed the soft tamagoyaki, nodded and said vaguely, "I'm going to the library to look up materials during the day, so I might have to come back later."

Mother went to the kitchen, took out a fresh-keeping box from the refrigerator and gave it to her, "I made a few more rice balls in the morning, just take them with you, and eat them when you rest." She was not at ease and asked: "It's better to come back early, it's too late It’s not safe at all.”

Machida stroked the fresh-keeping box that he took over in his hand, feeling hot in his heart, and nodded, "Okay."

The Metropolitan Library opens at ten o'clock in the morning. Taking advantage of being close to home, Machida can always get a good seat early.

Next Monday's competition is the final of the Tokyo Metropolitan Junior High School Debating Competition.She defeated many seniors in the school team selection competition a month ago, and was qualified to represent Qingxue in the regional competition.She remembered that when Machida announced her entry in front of the debating club, there was an instant discussion among the crowd.

Although it is well known that as the president, Machida Hisa is notoriously strict and has a clear distinction between public and private, but after all Machida is his sister, it is inevitable that some people will think that he will make an exception and let her go through the back door if he does not guarantee everything.

At that time, she wanted to prove herself wholeheartedly. While participating in club activities as usual, she also made various accumulations in private, and finally stood in the second debate position and helped Qingxue all the way to the finals.Then no one in the society dared to question her blatantly.

After Machida marked the key point on the last page of the book, he raised his arm and moved it. The soreness went from the shoulder blade up to the neck and went straight to the brain.

She frowned slightly, and at the same time, the mobile phone on the table vibrated regularly.

After answering, she raised her hand to cover the receiver and lowered her voice, "Hello?"

There was a pause, "In the library?" It was Machida Hisashi's voice.

Machida responded with a low voice, got up and walked outside the reading room.

The quiet atmosphere was separated by a door, and the noise of people coming and going made her tense nerves relax for a moment.

"Is something wrong?" She leaned against the window.

There was an obvious smile, "The weather here is good, there are flowers and ancient temples."

Machida closed his eyes and raised his eyebrows.The autumn chrysanthemums in Kamakura bloom just right this season.

"Guess who I met here?"

"Ah, who is it?" She answered sloppily, wondering if the purpose of Machida Hisa's call was to tell her that Kamakura is beautiful and sunny?

There was a moment of silence on the other end, and he said calmly, "I met Grandpa."

Machida opened his eyes in a flash, and unconsciously clenched the phone tightly, feeling a little uncertain, "...Meet Grandpa?"
