I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 21 The Hase Family

The bicycle stopped outside the gate of a residential building. Fujii looked at Azusa Hase who got off the car and waved to leave.

How should I refuse Fujii-san to send me home every day?

Azusa Hase thought with some distress, opened the door with the key and entered the home.

"I'm back."

The middle-aged man who put on slippers at the entrance and was reading the newspaper in the living room was her father Yuki Hase. Her mother Makiko Hase was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard her talking, she quickly ran out with a plate of fried shrimp tempura.

Luo.

"Zi, try it. Mom, I went to the Qiyuan seafood store far away early in the morning to buy it. Their seafood is the freshest, and the shrimps are all alive when they are processed."

Makiko Hase's height is only as high as Azusa Hase's shoulders. She has to pick up the plate before she can pass the fried shrimp tempura to Azusa Hase's mouth.

"It's delicious, thank you mom."

Azusa Hase tasted a piece. The heat was just right, crispy and delicious. Her mother Makiko's cooking skills were very good. Before marrying her father Koji Hase, she worked as a chef in a Western restaurant for several years and was a professional chef.

"Before the end of the first semester of your sophomore year of high school, you have to fill in your application, right? Which university do you want to go to? If you want to study medicine, and engage in clinical medicine, you should switch to science as soon as possible. You don't need to change majors in management and logistics. I'm at Keio University.

I can help you introduce it. As long as you can pass the written test, there will be no problem."

Hase Yukishi put down the newspaper. He had always wanted his daughter to inherit his connections and energy at Keio University Hospital in Tokyo. As a social elite who could be admitted to Keio University and became the director of the nephrology department at its affiliated hospital, he naturally did not want to

The next generation will go to a university majoring in the humanities and then find jobs with little future or money.

If it were a boy, no matter what, he would have to study medicine, either orthopedics or cardiology. What a pity!

Hase Yukishi looked at Hase Azusa who was shrinking his neck, as timid as a quail, and he had to shake his head, pretending that he didn't say it.

"If you want to pass on your shabby position, you can just find a son-in-law who studies medicine. Why do you have to embarrass our Zi? You are really crazy."

Makiko was not a traditional island housewife. She immediately retorted and protected her daughter.

It’s not impossible?!

Hase Yukishi seemed to be awakened by this sentence. He thought about the young doctors in his department. Some of them were fooling around with young nurses, and some of them were married long ago. The profession of doctor is very popular no matter which country it is in, and the rest are crooked.

He doesn't like cracked dates.

Why don't we start from high school? The high school Azusa went to has a pretty good deviation value. There should be students as strong as me back then, right?

"Are you in love? Do young people nowadays have boyfriends and girlfriends at school?"

Hase Yukishi suddenly asked, Hase Azusa's brain immediately shut down. How could his father speak directly about such a shameful topic?

"I remembered, you have been coming back much faster these days than before. Is there a boy picking you up?"

Her mother, Makiko, actually became even more jealous. Hase Azusa immediately lowered her head and fled to the second floor without saying a word.

It seems like it really does exist?

Hase Koshi and his wife Makiko looked at each other, and they both understood something. He touched the stubble on his chin, which was a bit rough, and he felt inexplicably unhappy again.

What kind of bastard is he? So brave!

The Chinese cabbage that Hase Yukishi has been raising for more than ten years is now in a big crisis.

"I'm taking my annual leave this week. I must find that bastard."

Hase Yukishi, who was busy with work and never cared much about family affairs, had a rare sense of responsibility that he had never had before. He stood up, clenched his fist into the palm of his hand, and looked resolute, like a fallen patriot going to Luo with his sword.

Azusa Azusa’s room on the second floor is, thanks to her father, who is the director of a department in a large hospital, her family’s house covers a relatively large area, so her room is more than 20 square meters, and the interior decoration color

They are all pink, and the single bed has neatly folded quilts. The south window is specially modified to be round like a ship's porthole, with double-layer soundproof glass, and the walls also have good soundproof layers, because in addition to her hobby of reading, she loves reading.

One of them is practicing guitar alone, which has been going on for more than ten years.

No way, no way! You're too shy, Azusa Hase, you're really useless.

Lying on the single bed and rolling back and forth, Azusa Hase then went into the closet. When he came out, he had already put on a light pink sportswear, stepped on the wooden floor with his bare feet, and picked up a Martin D45 guitar from the corner without adding any extras.

Use the pickup and play it carefully.

"The only one in the vast universe, in the vast world on the blue earth, a little longing..."

She calmed down while playing and singing. This was her way of relieving her stress. The tips of her fingers were covered with a thin layer of calluses, and the strings would no longer cut her fingertips and bleed blood.

"Listen~~listen~~listen~~ to this reverberating love song."

At the end of the song, her expression returned to its former calmness. When the guitar chords sounded again, she had already calmed down. The American Eagles' Hotel California was a pure guitar performance, and she skillfully played the psychedelic song from her fingertips.

The melody echoed in the girl's room.

"I'm back."

Fujii opened the door lock, and there was a burst of chatter and laughter in the living room. Uncle Tianhai stuck his head out and said to him.

"Let's go out for dinner. Mr. Hatsai and Murakami-senpai are here today. It's a rare dinner together."

On the shoe cabinet in the entrance, there are two exquisitely packaged fruit gift baskets, which contain whole watermelons and crystal grapes. They are considered high-end souvenirs in the island country.

Fujii walked into the living room. Sitting on the sofa were two senior otakus who looked like NEETs. Hayakawa Hatsai, who likes to design underwear, and Murakami Suigun, a rope artist. Teacher Hatsai and Uncle Tianhai are painters of the same period. They have a close relationship.

They are also closer, so they are addressed by first name instead of last name.

As for the typical first-generation otaku of the Heisei era who is sitting in front of the sofa, Murakami-senpai is older. He was once active around the millennium, but is now semi-retired in 2012, and occasionally helps other painters.

Assistant, my main job is no longer an eroge painter.

"EVA's new theatrical version of Q will be released next year. Hideaki Anno, one EVA lasted from 1996 to 2012! I really envy him."

Murakami-senpai put down the iPhone in his hand and chatted about the topic of watch comics. There were many empty wine bottles on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and they had already drank a few.

The group of people walked out and went to a barbecue restaurant on the Kitano-machi street where they lived. Fujii ordered juice, and the three adults were served two large bottles of Kiku Masamune sake, a full 1.8 liters. Islanders like to drink this low-alcohol drink.

, it is prohibited to drink alcohol if you are under twenty years old.

"Tian Haisang, I bought three copies of your latest Hypnosis Academy special, one for collection, one for use, and one for teaching. Although the painting skills have declined a bit, the plot is still great!"

Teacher Bacai took the initiative to take out a magazine with a mosaic cover, and encouraged Uncle Tianhai.
