Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Relatives are also closely related to each other. Relatives who have no contact with each other are not even as close as the guy who delivers the newspaper every morning.

From the beginning, Ryota Tsuchiya could see the difference in attitude between his cousin Michiru and An Yirun. They were both mortals who were crushed by their cousin's talent. However, he did not admit defeat, but focused on baseball.

Failure always runs through life. Maybe if you exhaust the number of failures here, you can succeed elsewhere? There's nothing to fear as long as you don't get used to failure.

As for An Yilun, after a period of contact, Tsuchiya Ryota finally found a little bit of the other person's picture from his memory.

In those sporadic memory fragments, this boy who has been timid since he was a child follows Michiru step by step wherever he appears.

No wonder his cousin was so friendly to him, almost too friendly. Even though An Yilun said some outrageous things and did some abstract things, Michiru still didn't feel disgusted like a normal person.

Preference?

With such unabashed support, anyone who is not blind can see that An Yilun also holds an extraordinary position in Hyōdō Michiru's heart.

Ryota Tsuchiya, who realized this, was very worried when An Yirun also spoke out to prevent his cousin from joining the baseball team's cheering team.

People's prejudices are like a big mountain, and An Yilun is like a fence blocking Ryota Tsuchiya's dream path.

He once thought that this matter was going to go viral, but...

Yilun Aki also said that Hojo-kun was a waste of talent, but in the end, while taking care of his job as a student, Yirun Ahn was still valued by industry leaders with his side job; Yilun Aki also said that Mr. Hojo was a violent maniac, but Yilun Aki also said that Mr. Hojo-kun was a man of violence. Hit him, but it turned out that Hojo-kun did it to protect the girl next to him...

Does he really want to stop Hyōdo Michiru from becoming Hojo-kun's support team?

Ryota Tsuchiya had such a question in his mind, why did he feel that this person whom Michiru cherished so much was pushing Michiru towards Hojo-kun.

"So, absolutely, absolutely can't have anything to do with Hojo Kyosuke! Michiru, you don't know, he is a person with no bottom line. He even said that he is a man who is equal to both men and women, so he can punch both men and women. Knock it off! If President Hongsaka hadn’t apologized quickly that day, he would have been killed."

An Yilun also concluded, his face full of seriousness.

Mr. Hyōdo nodded in agreement, and the image of Hojo Kyousuke had become fuller in his mind.

Unparalleled talent, perseverance and hard work.

Being able to maintain grace and restraint even when dealing with enemies is admirable whether it is due to confidence in one's own strength or a good upbringing.

His inner bottom line and principles are very clear, and he values ​​the people around him extremely. Once his bottom line is touched, he will not hesitate to use the most direct and brutal means of violence. Oh, by the way, it’s good that men and women are equal.

"I understand, thank you, An Yi, thank you for your hard work."

Mr. Hyodo nodded to his nephew and thanked him.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can help Michiru." An Yilun also smiled modestly.

“It really helped a lot.” X2

Ryota Tsuchiya and Mr. Hyōdo said in unison.

"Huh??" An Yilun also looked at the violent villain in confusion.

Hyōdo Michiru's eyes were a little complicated, and he opened his mouth several times but no sound came out.

Xiao Lun... what are you doing?

"Ryota."

Mr. Hyōdo turned to look at his good nephew Ryota Tsuchiya, and said with a cheerful smile:

"I thought about it..."

"Please tell me!"

Tsuchiya Ryo's face was flushed, and he felt that not only the beautiful girl support group was done, but maybe even the luxury bus could be put on the agenda.

"dad!"

Seeing that his father was about to agree, Hyōdo Michiru hurriedly shouted:

"Even if Xiao Lun was beaten for a living... Even if Hojo Kyosuke had a reason to take action, he beat Xiao Lun after all. I will never, never support someone like that!"

The pretty girl with short purple hair had a stubborn and persistent face. She put her hands on the stool between her thighs, leaned forward slightly, and had a firm look in her eyes.

Even if she could only practice in school in the future, or even if she had to give up the band, she would never forgive the person who violently treated Xiao Lun!

"We are relatives!"

She shouted loudly, not knowing whether she was talking to herself, her father, or An Yilun.

In short, it was probably not for Ryota Tsuchiya. If this man suddenly announced that he was the eighteenth grandson of Hojo Kyosuke, no one would be surprised. I can only wonder that such excellent genes as Hojo Kyosuke could give birth to such an ugly offspring. Maybe there is a genetic mutation.

! ! !

Hearing his cousin's words, Ryota Tsuchiya was immediately shocked.

He knew how much his uncle and aunt doted on Michiru. If it were a daughter from an ordinary family who would do things like this every day, she would have been dealt with long ago. However, the cousin got happier and happier. Just like this time, she was just short of leaving the family. Meeting.

If my cousin firmly resists Hojo-kun, my uncle will definitely not...

"Okay, okay, I know, dad knows."

Sure enough, Mr. Hyodo immediately changed his smile to a smile like that of Maitreya Buddha.

"Uncle, Hojo-kun..." Tsuchiya Ryota spoke hastily.

"Ryota, you also heard what Michiru and Aki said."

Mr. Bingtang raised his hand to interrupt his nephew's words, and An Yilun's expression became excited.

Hyoudou Michiru seemed to let out a sigh of relief. She didn't know whether she was relieved that she didn't have to betray her childhood sweetheart, or she was regretting that she couldn't achieve each other's dreams with Hojo Kyousuke as her cousin said, or maybe the two of them were still together. Both are available.

Anyway, that’s it…

"But!" Tsuchiya Ryota wanted to win a few more words.

"Xiaoren is my sister's child. In this case, do you think I would be generous enough to leave Yoshitomo to Hojo-kun to support him?" Mr. Hyōdo said in a deep voice.

Oh shit!

Tsuchiya Ryota clenched his teeth and looked at An Yirunya with a fierce look. He still decided to follow the latter home later and take action before going to the subway station! Thanks Neon for the webcam coverage!

"Then I'll take my leave."

He had a sullen face and didn't even intend to say another polite word. He needs to go out first to occupy a favorable tracking position.

"Brother Liangtai..."

The pretty girl with short hair shouted apologetically.

"Hey, hey? Ryota, wait a minute, what are you doing? I didn't say I wouldn't let Michi stay as a cheerleader for your baseball team." Mr. Hyōdo also shouted.

"Huh?" X5

The Bingtang family, Tugu family, and Anyi family present were all stunned by the old father's words.

"This is what I think. Since Michiru can't accept that Hojo-kun beat up Aki and is unwilling to support him, then let Hojo-kun be the manager of Michiru's band and let him relieve himself in this way. He had a misunderstanding with Michiru, and Michiru also supported him.”

Mr. Hyōdo stretched out his two hands, indicating that one side was Hojo Kyosuke and the other side was his precious daughter.

"Wouldn't this be the best of both worlds?" He sounded delighted.

"Um???"

The voices of doubt from the three families present became even louder.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Mr. Hyotang felt proud.

Yes, why bother letting Michiru go to support Hojo Kyosuke?

Isn't the initial issue about Michiru performing at a live house?

There are two issues here, one is the issue of my daughter’s study, and the other is the issue of the safety of my daughter and the band members in the live house.

Both of these problems are extremely difficult, and solutions can be found in Hojo-kun.

Before, when Hyōdo Michiru was not playing in a band, her grades were terrible. Now that she has embarked on the road of rock and roll, it is foreseeable that the endless hell of making up for exams will envelope her daughter.

And Hojo Kyosuke! That is a genius who is ranked first in his grade in kendo, baseball, comics, and novels. He must have a special learning method. When the time comes, he will take his daughter to a live house performance, and he may be able to sit in the lounge while waiting. By the way, I tutored my daughter in her studies.

The best thing about it is that Hojo Kyosuke advocates equality between men and women. He will never let this girl Michiru off because she acts coquettishly. He will definitely supervise her studies severely.

Mr. Hyōdo has even thought of the scene at that time.

"Hurry up and open your mouth. I won't let you out until you memorize this word!"

"It will be "Icy Tail's" turn to take the stage soon. You don't want to let your friends' performance fail because of you, right? "

"Hurry up and write. You can't even answer such a simple question. You won't even be able to touch the guitar for the next week!"

Hojo Kyousuke stood next to the dressing table with a stern expression, while Michiru was sobbing, wiping tears while continuing to study.

If it were him, his head would be dizzy if his daughter acted a little bit spoiled. But Hojo Kyosuke is different. He is equal to men and women!

Not to mention safety, the eldest nephew An Yilun had already made it clear before.

Even the British diplomat felt comfortable letting his daughter play with Hojo Kyosuke, so what else could he be worried about? And from what Aki said, we can know that Hojo-kun is definitely a man with gentlemanly demeanor and chivalrous spirit. He is both magnanimous and not afraid to use violence to protect those around him.

And then he handled the pressure from the big guys in the industry brilliantly. His abilities and methods were all at the genius level. Dealing with a live house was a piece of cake.

Simply the perfect agent choice!

If that's the case, why do you still have to worry about supporting the baseball team? Just let Hojo-kun be your daughter’s manager!

Mr. Hyōdo looked at his two good nephews with particularly kind eyes. Although the methods were different, through their joint efforts, they brought Hojo-kun to his eyes.

"no!"

"no!"

Two different voices sounded, both loud and urgent.

Michiru Hyodo and Mr. Hyodo coincidentally ignored Toruya Aki, and everyone knew the reason why he said no. But...why did Ryota Tsuchiya say no?

"Absolutely! Absolutely not!"

Tsuchiya Liang said in a cold voice, and the urgency in his words was comparable to that of An Yilun at the beginning.

"Huh? Ryota, what's wrong with you? Didn't you propose that Michi stay to support Hojo-kun and the baseball team in the first place?" Mr. Hyōdo asked doubtfully.

"The support is no problem, the problem is the band!"

Ryota Tsuchiya slapped his thigh, his voice extremely firm:

"Hojo-kun can't be the manager of Michiru and her band!"

"Why?"

The person who asked this question was Hyido Michiru. Although she didn't say it out loud, after listening to Xiao Ren's words, she also felt that if it was the person named Hojo Kyosuke, he would be able to fulfill his duties as an agent perfectly. He is capable and has a good personality, and he happened to be known to Xiao Lan and others when he was young.

Why?

Tsuchiya Liangtai laughed in anger, with undisguised indignation on his face.

Let Hojo-kun be Michiru's manager? What a joke!

He glanced at his uncle and said, "Your abacus is almost jumping to my face!"

Do you know how much effort I put in to finally get Hojo-kun to join the baseball club? Do you know how many brain cells I killed to get it from the kendo club, Yukinoshita Yukino, and the "Happy Life Creation Club"? Have some time for Hojo-kun? Do you know that your cousin is just a tool to make Hojo-kun feel better?

"Hojo-kun's time is very precious, there is no time to waste on things like that!"

He refused categorically and showed no mercy. He was not as eager as when he first walked into Hyotang's house.

"..."

Mr. Bingtang was dumbfounded by his good nephew's face-changing skills, which were comparable to Sichuan Opera. His indifferent expression made him get to know his good nephew again.

At this time, Mr. Hyōdo also came to his senses, and when he recalled what Ryota Tsuchiya had said before and after, everything became clear.

So, you are not a good relative who is here to help you resolve family conflicts, but a shameless person who covets your own daughter and wants to use your daughter to please Hojo-kun?

That's why he desperately belittled the livehouse and praised the support group crazily.

Although everything made sense, Mr. Hyōdo still couldn't believe it.

The abacus of my good nephew jumped into his face, causing his face to hurt.

"Ryota, you..." He opened his mouth to speak.

What are you, Ryota Tsuchiya muttered in his heart, not having the slightest fondness for this old guy who covets Hojo-kun.

"Absolutely not an agent. This matter is non-negotiable! Being a member of the baseball club's support team is enough for Michiru to train herself."

How could he not know that it was because he and An Yilun had performed too well that Hojo-kun was targeted by his uncle.

"That broker, can't you just find someone from the company to take charge?" He didn't even use honorifics, which can be heard instantly in Japanese.

"..."

Hyodo Michiru, her parents, aunt, and An Yilun next to her were all dumbfounded. That's not what you said at the beginning.

No matter what you look at, I will never give up Hojo-kun to you!

Tsuchiya Ryota muttered in his heart, already beginning to regret taking such a step.

"Ryota, we are relatives!" Mr. Hyōdo shouted in disbelief.

Not for now.

"Just like Hojo-kun advocates equality between men and women, I, Ryota Tsuchiya, am also an upright person and will not treat you differently because of family ties!"

Tsuchiya Liangtai said righteously, he was speaking from his heart.

If Hojo-kun wasn't so upright, he wouldn't even go to the kendo club, let alone the baseball club. He would definitely be carrying out club activities called "Creating a Happy Life Club" at home every day.

Hojo-kun has set an example, and he, Ryota Tsuchiya, can’t lag behind!

Bagaya road!

Looking at the hateful face of his good nephew, Mr. Hyotou cursed in his heart.

He decided that not only would he not give Liang Tai a drink in return, but he would also call Tsuchiya-san to praise the wine for how delicious it was!

Let this boy Ryota see what a father looks like when he is angry!

As expected of an entrepreneur, even at this moment Mr. Hyōdo can make casual puns. One is the anger of an old father who knows that his daughter is being treated as a tool, and the anger of Tsuchiya-san who knows that a good old man gives away his treasured wine to others.

Tugu Liang was too silent. He pursed his lips, folded his hands on his chest and leaned against the sofa, motionless like a clay sculpture.

Although I regret doing this, since I have come and done everything, I must not leave empty-handed, otherwise I will suffer a big loss.

If Michiru is successfully abducted, she will laugh out loud even if she is beaten by her father for stealing alcohol when she returns home, but now she will probably cry without any hope if she is beaten.

How can it be repaired?

It's all because An Yilun is such an idiot!

Ryota Tsuchiya, who had a relatively normal mind, knew that the Hyotou family was not to blame for this incident, so the only target to vent his anger was An Yilun.

"Dad, it's okay. Just like what I said at the beginning, you can help me contact a professional agent or let the secretary take charge."

At this time, Hyōdo Michiru suddenly spoke.

The Hyotou family, who run a large company, obviously do not lack the energy to contact professionals, but they were rejected by Michiru Hyotou.

First of all, their band members are all high school students. Although they are very dedicated, they don't really plan to consider the band as their future path, so looking for a professional manager is a bit too much. Moreover, this kind of behavior may also make Xiaolan and the others feel that they owe themselves.

Secondly, and most importantly.

"Icy Tail" is a rock band, rock and roll! Have a rock and roll spirit! What kind of rock and roll is it to let an adult control the things of high school students? It's not rock'n'roll to ask dad to help with anything!

"It's okay, Michiru, just listen to dad this time, okay? Dad has already thought of a perfect solution." Mr. Hyōdo leaned over his upper body, stretched out his hand and touched his daughter's head from a distance at the dinner table.

Hyōdo Michiru's pretty short purple hair was messed up, but she didn't care, but she suddenly felt a twinge of guilt in her heart.

It's all because of me that after working hard in the company, my father still has to listen to Xiao Lun and Brother Liang talking nonsense...

But, can we really go to the livehouse? ?

The girl's heart jumped with joy.

Others' emotions come and go quickly, but she simply doesn't care.

Mr. Hyodo watched his daughter's cute little face gradually turn red, and he still knew what she was thinking.

Breathe-breathe-breathe-breathe-

He took several deep breaths, sat up straight and looked at his good nephew Ryota Tsuchiya opposite him.

Now that we know that the other party is not helping out of a relationship between relatives, it will be easier to handle. When it comes to business wars and business negotiations, he, Hyoudang Xingren, is a professional! He can even come up with clever tricks like going to the sand sculpture company to take selfies and splashing peanut oil in the lobby. Nothing in the world can stump him!

"Ryota."

Mr. Hyōdo’s voice is gentle, as comforting as the spring breeze blowing on your face. Do you really think he is stupid and bold for daring to take a selfie? It’s because of this kindness! The receptionist at the front desk even wanted to be his tour guide!

Tsuchiya Liang is as immobile as a mountain, and what stands out is a seller's market.

At first, Hyōdo didn't feel that his dignity as an elder was hurt at all. How could he be doing this? He didn't need Dogeza to lick his shoes. It was such a trivial matter!

"I roughly understand your thinking. Do you think Hojo-kun has too many things to do right now and can't allocate his energy?" He said gently.

"Yes, uncle, you don't know how hard it is for Hojo-kun every day."

Hearing his uncle's tone soften, Tsuchiya Ryota stopped holding it. Hojo-kun has to beat people at night and go shopping with girls during the day. It's really hard. I heard that he slept for two whole periods in Chinese class this morning.

"But, have you ever thought that you may have underestimated Hojo-kun too much."

Mr. Bingtang still looks pleasant:

"Do you think Hojo-kun can only succeed in one thing with his energy? He is a genius among geniuses, and ordinary geniuses can only become mortals in front of him!"

Listening to his uncle's deliberately exaggerated tone, Ryota Tsuchiya frowned.

Why, why do you feel like this sentence sounds familiar?

Not only Tsuchiya Ryota, but also An Yirun and Hatou Michiru also felt the strong sense of déjà vu.

correct!

Isn’t this what brother Liang Tai said to his father just now? Hyōdo Michiru's eyes lit up.

"Perhaps you don't know much about Hojo-kun. He not only achieved excellent results in kendo and studies, but also in comics and..."

Mr. Hyotou talked non-stop, and the content was almost a one-to-one copy of what his good nephew said just now. No way, that was a compliment that could exhaust all praises in the world. The effect was so good that an old father like him even considered giving his daughter to him.

"..."

Ryota Tsuchiya opened his mouth wide and was speechless. He did not expect that he would be defeated by an army.

"no……"

He stammered and couldn't speak. What should he do? He always felt that his words really made sense.

Hojo-kun is so talented and powerful, even if he continues to be Michiru's manager, it won't be a burden, right?

Tsuchiya Ryota discovered a terrifying thing. He was almost convinced by what he said...

hiss……

Now there is a risk that I will be killed by Tetsuta Kisaki. Only someone like me is the real number one brother.

Mr. Hyōtō looked at his nephew's confused look and smiled inwardly.

Play tricks on me and wait until you break into Koshien! I graduated from Keio University!

"Furthermore, if Hojo-kun serves as Michiru's agent, my daughter will not be the only one to benefit. Didn't Hojo-kun founded an animation production company? That will definitely need a soundtrack, and Michiru can definitely help, free of charge! Ryota, you are Those who know Michiru’s talent will definitely not be inferior to those professionals as long as she works a little harder.”

"...But, uncle, didn't you just say that this would delay Michiru's studies?"

An Yilun also murmured after hearing this. He could no longer understand where things were going.

"Hey~ times are progressing and diversifying, so we need to look at things from a dialectical perspective. Participating in the production of animation music can also feed back the gains to the band, and the breadth of composition can also be expanded.

Not only that, but you can also gain access to rich insights from other industries, and Michiru may also find what she really wants to do. "

"?"

A question mark appeared on An Yilun's head. Why do these words sound so familiar? Oh, isn’t this what I said before? That’s not what you said back then! (End of chapter)
