Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

"Miyamizu-san, let's not talk about it. Me and your family should be able to chat better, right?"

Hojo Kyousuke's thoughts turned away from Mitsuha's gentle voice, and he said with a smile.

Not to mention the cousin Keiichi Kato whom I met last time. Megumi's sister's husband seems to be a fan of her, and her father also pays attention to her news. The Yomiuri Shimbun that Kato's father read had previously asked him to write a manuscript. When he saw the names of acquaintances in the newspaper, there was a lot more to brag about. Even because of that Keiichi brother, the Kato sisters who were forced to watch the video of him cutting straw mats with a knife at every family gathering should be very familiar with him.

Damn it! Thinking of this shameful thing, Hojo Kyousuke remembered that he had promised to invite that brother Keiichi to the Sobu Kokendo club's camp. He has already told Tetsuta Kisaki about this matter. This year's national competition is getting closer and closer, and the intensity of training is gradually increasing. People like Hata Goro who train with excessive intensity have completely regarded the classroom as a sleeping place.

However, although there will be a sleepover, Hojo Kyosuke himself will not go, so "Keiichi-nii" can enjoy the collision of men.

When we first met, Hui was like "the person on TV, ha, ha, ha", and she made gestures like waving a knife while talking. The calm and expressionless face was imitated with a calm voice, which made Hojo Kyosuke want to cover his face in shame.

If I really meet Hui's relatives from now on, my uncle, aunt, sister, and sister will all say, "Oh, oh, that's the guy in the video that Xiaogui posted, with the knife, ha, ha, ha." That will really kill you. He was nicknamed "Haha Sang" from then on.

"Hey~~?"

Kato Megumi made a confused and panicked sound, and the smile on her face froze. She was still waiting to see how Kyosuke-kun would react to such words. Why did the topic suddenly turn to herself?

Thinking about the behavior of her father, sister, husband, and cousin, Hui had to admit that Hojo Kyousuke was right. Her cousin's behavior made her very embarrassed last time. Fortunately, she succeeded in being with Kyousuke-kun from the time they first met. He created an image of his cousin with an abnormal brain.

But sister...

In the world of girls, she is not only a sister, but also a role model to learn from. Even the way of telling the truth and lying was learned from her sister. If such an important person behaves like Keiichi-san in front of Kyousuke-kun, , then even she can't treat it calmly.

alert!

After pursed her lips, Hui's eyes became firm in vain.

In the past, she often passively helped her sister when she was in love. Now it's time for her to repay this kindness, at least not to disgrace herself.

My sister, who is already married, is even more difficult to deal with than before, and has completely transformed into the shape of the neighbor's aunt.

Although she was thinking this, after a brief panic, the girl returned to her calm demeanor and said calmly:

"Yes~ If Kyosuke-kun can once again demonstrate his ability to cut a bamboo mat into several pieces in an instant with a knife, everyone will be very happy."

"Hahaha, please spare me. Agreeing to do that promotion is the most regretful thing I have done in the past ten years." Hojo Kyosuke immediately begged for mercy, but Megumi's counterattack was still so sharp.

Then the two talked about the new work. Hojo Kyosuke asked Megumi what he thought after watching it, and the girl sighed softly:

"It's great to have talented people~~ Even if you scold someone, you can make money, and the person being scolded can't refute. It's really uncomfortable to think about it~~"

"There's no swearing, it's completely an artistic creation!" Hojo Kyosuke immediately argued. Although the masterpieces of the judges in the novel are all modified according to reality, and they just named them by name, the novel originated from life. , it is impossible to construct everything out of thin air!

"Ah~~You want to pretend to the end~" Hui said softly, and she seemed to think of Kyousuke-kun's shameless appearance through the phone. He is much more real now than before.

"Haha, just like what you said Hui, you can make money by scolding me, so you can't throw away your last bit of dignity."

For the sake of his own image, Hojo Kyousuke still explained a little bit, he was originally a good person.

"...It's very hard, there are so many things to do."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Hojo Kyousuke always felt that something was wrong with Kei's tone when he said this. But after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to be as calm as ever. He couldn't see his face through the phone, and Hui's unpredictable thoughts became more and more secretive.

"It's okay. Although it's a little rushed, there are a lot of people helping. You know, Eiri and Shiyu-senpai."

Hojo Kyosuke thought Megumi was interested in the writer's work, and was about to say a few more words when he heard another voice over there.

Just listen to Kato Megumi's "calm" and "sudden realization":

"Oh~~That's right~ Having Eiri and Kasumigaoka-senpai here is more of a blessing than a hardship...

There were so many people in school who wanted to join the art club because they admired Eiri Riri. When school started, I was called to the office to help. I saw the teacher who came to hand out club application forms carrying a huge box to the art teacher, which contained the application to join. Art club table. Even people who can't draw at all want to join the art club because they heard that every member can get guidance from Eiriri-san.

The same goes for the drama club. Although every once in a while, there will be boys like Kasumigaoka-senpai who are scolded and cry when they confess their feelings, but there are still many, many people..."

It was rare for Megumi to say so much at once, and Hojo Kyosuke listened with interest. After all, this was another side of Eiri and Shiwa-senpai that he didn't know. But when I heard it, there was something wrong with his expression.

This... Although the tone is very calm, why does it feel like Hui is blaming himself?

"that……"

He interrupted:

"Although it may be my misunderstanding, I still want to ask, Kei, are you angry now?"

"Yes~~"

The girl replied briskly.

It really is? Hojo Kyosuke was stunned.

"How could I not be angry!

Why doesn't Kyosuke-kun think of me when he needs help? You obviously helped me with my tutoring after a busy day, and even sent me comics in the middle of the night, but you didn't want to ask me for help? "

"Because Hui, you are here..."

Hojo Kyosuke was interrupted mid-sentence, and the girl's usually leisurely and calm voice seemed a little urgent now.

"Whenever I think about this, I get extremely angry. I'm angry about why Kyousuke-kun didn't ask me for help, and I'm angry about why I can't help..."

Hojo Kyosuke looked stunned. He didn't expect that Hui would chat with him for a long time in such a mood. Listening to the girl's uncharacteristic voice, he quickly comforted:

"The tutoring is because of the entrustment of the service department. If you want to say that I am helping, you are also helping me. As an experimental subject to observe the sample, it need not be said to be so serious. You were in class before, otherwise..."

"Then I think it's okay to thank Kyousuke-kun~~? It's my own business to help, right~~"

Hui's voice calmed down a little, and the light voice was mixed with the gasp caused by the rapid speaking just now:

"I think I can at least help Kyousuke-kun prepare tea, snacks and lunch, or look after little Kashiko-san, or else take Momotaro for a walk, or help Kyousuke-kun clean up the dust that has fallen on the keyboard. Clean up, iron and wash the clothes..."

The girl over there kept talking, counting the things she could do one by one. Hojo Kyousuke didn't dare to say a word. He felt inexplicably that Megumi suddenly had some unspeakable attributes. Before, he could do all the things he could do. The beauty who told embarrassing things has now become someone who can even help wash stinky socks...um...how should I put it? wife?

His conscience jumped out and condemned him again, saying, look, there is a girl here who wants to help. You actually ignored her so much and didn't even call her when buying clothes. Are you still a human being?

Then his conscience taught him a lesson and asked him to quickly explain that Miki was responsible for cooking at home. She was a chef who opened an independent restaurant. The dishes she made were not only delicious but also nutritionally balanced. You could trust her in such a busy time. Definitely provides plenty of energy! There is no need to worry about trivial household chores. Mitsuba has been good at hygiene since she was a child. She gets up before dawn every day and goes to the shrine to sweep and wipe the floor. Miyamizu Shrine as big as that can take care of it, let alone the small Ruyi Residence.

Glass, Naoka... everyone is taking good care of Hojo Kyousuke, so Megumi doesn't have to feel so guilty!

The rationale and evidence were convincing, and Hojo Kyosuke was convinced by what he heard, so he immediately combined his flexible moral bottom line to suppress his conscience again.

Is this something a person can say? I just didn't say, "That's it, no matter what, there are people doing it. All you can do, Hui, is sit aside and be beautiful alone, so I didn't call you." Was this because I was afraid that the girl wouldn't cry loud enough?

Seeing that Megumi had already said that he could stand in the yard and act as a scarecrow to drive away the chirping birds, Hojo Kyousuke quickly called a timeout, good guy, the more he spoke, the more humble he became. There is not a single sentence in the whole article that scolds oneself, but the soft knife stabs oneself hard. First, he praised Eiriri and Shiyu-senpai for how awesome they were, and then said that he knew he was not as good as them, but he was happy to be able to do small things.

"I know! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll do it next time! Next time I run into trouble, I'll call you for help as soon as possible!"

At this moment, Hojo Kyousuke finally understood why Neon people liked to bow even when talking on the phone. He was so numb when Kei said it that he wanted to put his hands together and raise them above his head for assurance.

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, with only the sound of moderate breathing being carefully collected by the headset and transmitted over.

Just when Hojo Kyosuke was feeling anxious, he heard a sentence coming from the other side:

"No matter what I'm doing!"

Hui's voice was actually a bit stiff. It seemed that even though she was well-trained, she still had girlish emotions.

"Yeah! No matter what you are doing! I will ask you for help as soon as possible!" Hojo Kyosuke affirmed.

"Hmm~~" Hui responded softly.

Only then did Hojo Kyosuke realize that his forehead was actually a little cold. He was suddenly sweating from Kei's operation. He was about to raise his hand before shouting when he suddenly heard the girl's voice again:

"Actually, I'm quite confident in cooking. Although it's not as good as Kyousuke-kun's cooking skills, I definitely won't take care of you~~"

Haha, Hojo Kyosuke chuckled in his heart, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face:

"Yeah, I believe it."

He fully understood this. From Hui's words just now, he knew that this girl was really good at taking care of people and was very livable.

The strange thing is that in just one phone call, the girl named Kato Megumi got angry twice, but Hojo Kyosuke didn't feel annoyed at all. On the contrary, the atmosphere between the two chatting became more and more harmonious.

After that, Hojo Kyosuke wanted to make an appointment for the next tutoring session. After all, it was already approaching the end of April, and it would be Neon's Golden Week, and the regular exams would be coming soon. Hui will definitely not be asked to make up the exam because he failed, but their goal is to make a blockbuster success, so they will definitely have to work overtime to make up the lessons.

But as soon as he mentioned tutoring, Kei rejected him.

"Kyosuke-kun must have a lot to do now, right? I would be very ashamed to help me tutor with those tasks on my shoulders~

Peace of mind, peace of mind~ You have already taught me so much. If my grades don’t improve, Brother Na Kei will laugh at me. I even have time to help you, don’t forget~~”

The call ended with the girl's chuckle.

Looking at the darkened mobile phone screen, the smile on Hojo Kyosuke's face did not fade away for a long time.

Next time, let’s try Kei’s taste~

What would she look like in an apron? Thinking about it, Hojo Kyousuke couldn't help but feel excited.

Tomorrow is the weekend, so I send Hui’s cousin to stay with someone from the kendo club, and invite Hui to come home to take care of me. It’s perfect!

"Hey - hello -"

Someone was thinking about a bright future when a voice suddenly came from the yard downstairs.

"Have you been eaten by mosquitoes? The oven time has come, midnight snack, come and have a midnight snack~"

It was Ying Lili, and her crisp and delicate voice sounded particularly beautiful in the cold night.

Hojo Kyousuke leaned out of the eaves and saw Eriri and Kashiko standing on the lawn in the yard, their hands forming a trumpet shape and shouting towards him. He opened his mouth and was about to respond to the two of them, but Ying Lili's expression changed greatly and she shouted in panic:

"Ah! Idiot! Hurry up and get in! Be careful of falling!"

While shouting, this idiot actually ran over quickly and stretched out his arm towards Kyousuke Hojo, apparently preparing to catch Kyousuke Hojo if he stumbled and fell.

Little Kashiko was a little slow, but he quickly ran over with his short legs, stood opposite Eiri and stretched out his hands, then raised his head and looked at his Onii-chan expectantly, waiting for him to fall so that he could Hold on.

"Idiot, how can your little arms catch me? I will have to pull you out of the soil with great effort."

Hojo Kyosuke looked at Eiri and complained.

"You're the idiot! I can't catch it, but I can be an air mattress for you!"

Yinglili said angrily. (End of chapter)
