Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 1006: Just like in the dream, Miyamizu Sanye and Hojo Kyosuke eat melons

As my thoughts turned, Yukinoshita Yukino had already turned around, her eyelashes fluttering, and her light blue eyes looking towards the car window.

Blink, blink...

What caught her eye was a very familiar house, so familiar that she could even tell how many rooms and trees there were in it.

ka ka ka-

The girl turned her head stiffly to look at someone and asked uncertainly:

"Why are you back home, Hojo, do you want to change clothes?"

Hojo Kyosuke raised an eyebrow and said jokingly, "Change clothes? It's time to get there!"

"To the place?"

Yukinoshita tried hard to suppress the urge to open her mouth wide, and her delicate hands had quietly clenched into fists.

Take me out to play? Is that what you mean by play? Go home and play?

In the past, going to classmates' or friends' houses after school would have made the girl so happy that she couldn't sleep all night, but now she is no longer the same person who could only sit alone and eat her lunch box after class.

Not to mention friends like Sakura and Nozomi, she had even begun planning to invite classmates and Tsuruno Kiyoshiko to her home, but she felt that she still had too little experience and needed to learn more at Ruyi Liao, so she did not start the plan.

Otherwise... I, Yukinoshita Yukino, would have been a mature high school girl who would eat bento with friends, go shopping, and watch TV at home like ordinary people.

but!but!

Although it would be nice to go back to Ruyilao to play, we clearly said before that we were going to make an appointment... to go out and play!

Yukinoshita Yukino, who was imagining how to show off and introduce the kittens she met in the cat cafe to Kyosuke Hojo in a reserved and unobtrusive manner, became furious.

Fatty is still waiting for me! And Huihui, Xiaomei, Anna...they are all waiting for me to favor them!

The resentment in the girl's heart almost became material, and the black flames of hell burned around her.

The timid ones would have started to tremble, but Hojo Kyousuke was shameless. Just now he was a "heartless pickup machine" who teased Yukino with every word, but now he turned into a wooden man in an instant, as if he didn't feel the girl's resentment at all, and jumped out of the car door opened by the driver.

"Please, Minister~~"

He stood beside the car, raised his arm elegantly and gentlemanly, indicating to the girl that she could hold on to him.

"minister?"

This name made Yukinoshita Yukino confused for a moment, but she soon remembered.

Oh, it turns out that I am not a manager who does odd jobs in the baseball club, but a talented and perfect girl who has independently founded a club and is destined to change this society and country in the future.

It's all Hojo Kyosuke's fault. He was so active all day that I thought the Service Club was just a place to drink tea and read books after school. He had no respect for me as the head of the club, and the few commissions were all related to this guy.

but……

"Why did you suddenly call me like that?"

Yukinoshita glanced at someone sideways, her light blue eyes full of suspicion and vigilance.

This guy must be up to something, just like when Yamauchi Sakura first joined the company!

Although she was wary, she still raised her hand and placed it on Hojo's arm, jumped out of the car lightly, and whispered thank you.

This etiquette of gentlemen and ladies, which has been popular since the Victorian era, is very popular among Japanese people. When getting on or off a carriage, men should take care of ladies and extend their arms as handrails so that ladies can get on and off the carriage elegantly and decently.

What is counterintuitive is that ladies do not really use men's arms as armrests, and their hands on them must be light and gentle. If a Western TV series wants to show a woman's rudeness, they will film her hitting the man's arm hard when getting on the carriage, with such force that the man will stumble and fall.

In short, both parties do useless work and say please and thank you more often in order to highlight each other's grace and beauty. This is similar to the "sense of ritual" advocated by Japanese people, so it was very popular as early as the Taisho period.

But then again, this was the first time in Yukinoshita Yukino's life that she experienced such "gentlemanly behavior". After all, although her father had long been trained by her mother to be a qualified "upper-class man", he would not deliberately do such things in front of his daughter.

The position of the arms was just right, and even though I wasn't using any strength, I could feel the stability of a rock.

The girl thought lightly in her heart, and couldn't help but change her mind about this hypocritical and useless etiquette.

Although you can get off the car calmly by taking a light step, having some things and not having them are two completely different concepts.

When getting out of the car with Hojo Kyosuke's hand, Yukinoshita clearly sensed the subconscious joy.

After a little thought, she understood where this emotion came from. The position was just right and as stable as a rock. If she accidentally sprained her ankle when getting off the car, she would definitely not fall as long as she held on to Hojo Kyosuke's arm.

The body and subconscious brain are always so sensitive. They feel safe before themselves and become happy naturally.

Hojo is really awesome...

Even such details are done so perfectly, he is truly worthy of being called a "ruthless pickup machine".

A deep feeling of respect emerged in Yukinoshita Yukino's heart. No matter what the field is, anyone who can become an expert is absolutely a superman. Especially in the field of "picking up girls".

This guy is completely hopeless, a "scumbag Pro".

The girl drooped her eyebrows slightly, lowered her head and gently smoothed the hem of her skirt, with a hint of sadness in her heart.

Hirata Shunshin bowed respectfully and said goodbye before driving away. He would be on standby in a nearby parking lot, awaiting orders from his eldest brother at any time.

Generally speaking, this order is to send a girl home.

"Why do I call you Minister?"

Hojo Kyosuke stretched and twisted his shoulders. Although the interior space of Alpha was quite spacious, it was still a bit cramped for a man like him who was 1.80 meters tall.

Reality is not the world of One Piece. 1.8 meters is a very suitable height and you can drive any car you want.

Someone with a perfect figure turned around and said with a smile:

"Because on this sunny day, we should carry out happy club activities, President Yukinoshita."

"social activity?"

Yukinoshita was stunned. She found that she seemed to have been stunned too many times today. Her emotions had always been controlled by this guy Hojo. It was really too much!

Half a second later, the girl said confidently, "Is it Hui? You asked her to come for tutoring!"

"That's right!"

Hojo Kyosuke smiled:

"I could have gone out and enjoyed the attention of those big shots, but I returned home to concentrate on club activities. There aren't many members as motivated as me~"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the shameless person speechlessly, too lazy to pay attention to him, and walked forward and pushed open the gate.

The previous resentment has almost dissipated now. After all, for a girl who has very little experience playing with friends, even just sitting around a table to do questions and discuss is a very pleasant thing, so she calmed down very quickly, and even began to imagine what kind of fun Eriri would bring today.

Well, since we have to give extra lessons to Kato-senpai, then Eriri, who is even worse at studying, will definitely not be able to escape.

After taking out three keys and opening the door, Hojo Kyosuke walked in first and shouted loudly, "I'm back~", but the expected welcome did not come.

He frowned slightly. Oh no, could it be that Hui was coaxed into sleep by Eriri?

The reason why he thought so was because he also wanted to do that.

Of course, he didn't want to coax Hui, but wanted to sleep himself. But it would be nice to hug one or more sweet and soft girls, and his house had air conditioning anyway, so he didn't have to worry about the heat.

Seeing someone blocking the door in a daze, Yukinoshita couldn't help but reach out and push it, then squeezed in from the side.

"Huh? So many melons."

After changing into slippers, Yukinoshita immediately saw the box at the kitchen door.

"It should be sent by Mitsuha, right?"

Hojo Kyosuke guessed and walked into the living room, and a burst of light music came from the direction of the courtyard.

Turning around to take a look, I saw three lounge chairs arranged in a row under the shade of the cherry tree. Three girls were sleeping on them with their bare feet, chatting quietly. On the white round table stood a cartoon-shaped speaker and a plate of fruit.

On the grass, the white furry puppy was sleeping soundly with its legs up in the air.

The weather is gentle and the weather is warm, creating a beautiful scene that makes people feel peaceful and calm.

"Wow, you guys are so relaxed."

He took off his shoes and walked down the lawn, laughing.

Yukino, who was following behind, couldn't help but feel envious when seeing this scene. This was what a date between good friends should be like.

Although I can't introduce a familiar kitten to Hojo, it seems like it would be nice if this were the case.

but……

Poor Kato, poor Eriri, your good days are over.

The black-haired girl felt inexplicably refreshed.

Hearing Hojo Kyosuke's voice, the three girls who were looking at the sky straightened up, and Eriri still had a large piece of peach in her mouth.

"Kyosuke? You're back."

Miyamizu Mitsuha smiled happily, and then quickly greeted: "Come and eat some fruit, they are all chilled. Hui is very good at cutting fruit~"

Kato Megumi also greeted the two of them with a smile. Although that faint smile seemed as calm as the warm spring breeze, Hojo Kyosuke keenly tasted a hint of regret.

Hehe, such a good day, of course I have to use it to make up for the lessons~

The moment Eriri saw Hojo Kyosuke, a brilliant smile broke out on her face, but the next second her face turned unabashedly sad.

Ah! It’s so annoying. I have to study again! And my hair was blown dry by Mitsuha! And why is Yukinoshita here too? I can’t cry if I can’t do the questions, or else I’ll be looked down upon!

Ah! Really, my mother is just a nobody! I need you to rush the manuscript now!

Shouldn't such a sunny day be used for work?

Hojo Kyosuke didn't care what this idiot was thinking. If he didn't give her emergency make-up lessons, she would definitely complain after the test results came out, saying things like "It's all your fault! Sayuri trusted you so much, and you treated me like this!"

For the sake of his image in the eyes of the Spencers, he had to make sure this guy got a decent score!

Walking down to the courtyard with a smile on his face, he pulled over a chair and handed it to Yukinoshita. He then took out two stacks of test papers from his schoolbag and handed them to the two girls respectively. Then he sat down and put a piece of cantaloupe into his mouth.

"You two take your time to watch, I'll eat for a while."

Then, ignoring Katou Megumi who was full of regret and Eriri who was glaring at him fiercely, he looked at Miyamizu Mitsuha and said with surprise:

"Could this be the melon grown by Uncle Dalin?"

The witch's eyes, which were already full of expectation, immediately lit up, and she smiled in surprise:

"Hehe~~ I knew Kyousuke that you would be able to taste it! I knew it!"

Upon hearing this, Hojo Kyosuke ate a few more pieces, with a nostalgic smile on his face.

"It has a light bitter taste amidst the sweetness, and smells like grass. Even the texture of the melon skin feels familiar."

Miyamizu Mitsuha's eyes curved with laughter when she heard this, and she said coquettishly, "The melon rind was thrown away by Hui a long time ago, how do you know the pattern?"

“In my memory!”

Hojo Kyosuke answered without hesitation:

"When the juice moistened my tongue, the memories of this melon came flooding back. The only difference is that it was chilled with mountain spring water back then, but now it's chilled with a refrigerator worth 340,000 yen."

The shrine maiden smiled even more happily. Although there was a refrigerator in Itomori's home, Miyamizu Shrine, it was a very old small refrigerator filled with all kinds of sundries. Not to mention putting a whole cantaloupe in it, even if you wanted to put a pudding in it, you had to spend a long time to make room for it.

Fortunately, the spring water flowing from the mountain stream behind is cold enough. The water that has been chilled with fruits and vegetables can also be used for soaking feet and splashing water, which is a unique pleasure in the countryside.

She didn't say a word about these things when she was eating melon with Eriri and Kei, just waiting for Kyosuke to come home.

As expected! As expected, Kyousuke had not forgotten any of those things.

Miyamizu Mitsuha picked up a piece of melon, ignored the three girls next to her, and smiled as she handed it to Hojo Kyosuke's mouth, then ate a piece herself.

Hmm~ It seems even sweeter!

Hmm, it does have the astringent taste and grassy scent that Kyousuke described...

Ah~~ I seem to smell the scent of spring water flowing down from Longshen Mountain~~

The witch was smiling happily as she savored the melon in her mouth.

"That's great! I've wanted to eat melons with you, Kyousuke, for a long, long time!"

She said excitedly.

That memory that belonged to the two of them alone, an experience where time and space were intertwined, the only regret was that they had too many things they wanted to share with each other.

The delicious pudding has a label saying "Don't eat it secretly". In fact, the person being protected is not Yotsuba, but him who entered her body without her knowing when.

The wallet should be locked in a box and a sign should be written with a marker: "If you dare to spend money lavishly again, you will have to go to work."

On a hot summer day, sitting under the eaves of the shrine, eating the sweet and frosty melon offered by the townspeople, I always can't help but think:

"What is he doing, eating a fancy ice cream? I really want to trade my melon with him."

"Ah... it's great that Uncle Dalin is still growing melons, and I'm still with you, Kyousuke."

Miyamizu Mitsuha spoke softly, her tone filled with nostalgia, relief, and more importantly, happiness.

With his mouth full of cantaloupe, Hojo Kyosuke turned his head and met the girl's bright eyes full of joy. He swallowed the melon hard and grinned.

"Yes" (End of this chapter)
