Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

"Of course, I also know that asking Hojo-kun to be Michiru's manager is a bit too self-confident."

Seeing that his good nephew was about to be persuaded, Mr. Hyōdo stopped persuading him and changed his tone. The ability of an excellent businessman is vividly reflected in him. He first suppresses and then increases, and his several turns are just right to press the limit of the person he is talking to. Perfect...

"Dad! Stop talking!"

Hyōdo Michiru suddenly shouted.

Mr. Bingtang closed his mouth blankly, turned his head, and was shocked to find that his eldest nephew An Yilun also looked as ugly as a dead person, while his daughter looked at him with concern.

Yes, because of Aki's previous performance, he ignored that the Hojo-kun he praised so much was actually the one who beat Aki until he was hospitalized.

this……

Mr. Hyōdo felt very innocent. In fact, Aki Rinya's enthusiastic performance made him subconsciously regard him as a fan of Hojo Kyosuke, just like his good nephew Ryota.

"I-I'm leaving first."

An Yilun also stood up suddenly, his pale face showing panic and frustration.

"Hey, Xiao Lun, bring the strawberries." Mrs. Bingtang shouted quickly.

An Yilun also opened his schoolbag and packed the strawberries without raising his head, and hurried towards the door without even saying hello to the others.

"Xiao Lun! Wait for me."

Hyōdo Michiru shouted anxiously, stood up and followed without saying a word.

Mrs. Hyodo next to her quickly picked up a long coat and put it on her daughter. This girl was hot and generous at the same time, and she didn't even pay attention at home.

"Hey? Ryota, why are you standing up?!"

Mr. Hyōdo stretched out his hand to hold his good nephew Ryota Tsuchiya with a look of astonishment on his face. It is understandable that An Yilun also left. Why are you running away? Aren't we having a happy chat?

"...hehe...hehe"

Tsuchiya Liangtai laughed twice, sat down, and then said casually:

"I'm just a little worried when I see Michiru chasing after her so excitedly."

Could it be that he subconsciously wanted to follow An Yilun when he saw him running away?

"well……"

After hearing what his good nephew said, Mr. Hyōdo sighed deeply. Looking at his daughter's back as she walked out of the house, he also felt a little headache.

Seeing her niece leaving, Hyōdo Tsunemi quietly slipped back into the room. She stayed here as a backup force for her niece, although it was useless from beginning to end. But if he didn't leave now, without his niece to draw firepower from the front, the war might soon spread to him. He had to go on a business trip to Johannesburg, and his brother hadn't settled it yet.

Mrs. Hindo smiled at her good nephew, put on a coat and went out. She was worried that her daughter would run out like this.

For a moment, only Mr. Hyōdo and Ryota Tsuchiya were left in the huge living room, and a deserted atmosphere instantly hit their faces.

"Ryota, I'm sorry. Michiru doesn't have a problem with you. She is very happy that you care about her so much."

Mr. Hyōdo forced a smile.

"It's okay with me."

Tsuchiya Ryota smiled and said it didn't matter. After hesitating for a while, he asked:

"But why is the relationship between Michiru and Aki so good?"

He now feels that An Yilun is like a double-edged sword, which can both assist and cause harm.

This An Yilun has also become abstract to an unnatural degree. Why would her normally normal cousin behave in such an exaggerated manner? It's almost as if An Yilun also saved her life.

"Obviously Michiru had so many ideas before, why..."

He paused, and it was a bit inconvenient to say what he said next.

Michiru Hyōdo is a talented girl born from the 500-year-old essence of the Hyōdo family and Ryo Tsuchiya. She keeps short hair not only for the convenience of playing basketball, but also because her personality is as sassy as her pretty short hair.

Ryota Tsuchiya will never forget the scene she saw when she went to cheer for her cousin in the regional competition finals last year. On the basketball court, Michiru's team was already lagging behind by a big score, and her teammates were also in a very low mood.

Ryota Tsuchiya, who has been serving as the head of the baseball club, knows that if it weren't for the presence of Michiru, the team's ace, the team's morale would have collapsed long ago.

Under such circumstances, Michiru did not reprimand her teammates for putting pressure on them, nor did she choose to comfort her teammates.

She just kept silent and kept running on the court.

Hyōdo Michiru's face no longer had the silly smile on her face as usual, but was as cold as ice.

The significantly behind score, the frustrated mood of her teammates, and the high mood of her opponents, none of these affected her. Ryo Tsuchiya doubted that even the cheers from her and others were ignored by her cousin.

She was just silent.

The long legs under the loose basketball pants alternately moved forward, and the muscles on her slender calves could be seen with every step. The footsteps were as heavy as the sound of a taiko drum.

The pretty short purple hair was completely soaked with sweat and was stuck to her scalp. She was no longer as naughty as before. Only the two long bangs around her ears still fluttered with her footsteps.

The huge plump breasts no longer bounced around under the constraints of the sports bra, but were as cold as their owners.

Beneath the coldness is a beating, fiery heart that yearns for victory.

Hyōdo Michiru is the absolute "S-class ace" of the Tsubaki Girls' High School Basketball Club. Her school, teammates, and family all have high hopes for her.

This heavy expectation did not overwhelm her, and she even took the initiative to carry her collapsed teammates on her shoulders and move forward.

Hyodo Michiru, she is still fighting!

She reached out to her teammates for the ball again and again, dribbled the ball across the half court independently again and again, broke through the opponent's blockade again and again, and threw the ball in again and again.

The score gap has not narrowed because of her efforts, but it has not widened either!

Michiru can compete with such a powerful enemy by herself, so what is the point of us being on the field?

Michiru's teammates must be thinking so, right? Tsuchiya Ryota guessed.

Just Michi can keep the score unchanged, so why can't we win if there are more?

Michiru's teammates must be thinking so, right? Tsuchiya Ryota guessed.

"Come on! Don't let Michiru fight alone!"

He couldn't help shouting loudly. As a baseball player, he was all too familiar with the situation of a team moving forward with only one person carrying the load. Complete pitches and shutouts are the absolute romance of baseball and the lifelong pursuit of every pitcher.

But basketball is different, Michiru, she is surrounded by five girls on the opposite side!

Seeing Michiru Hyido fighting alone, Ryota Tsuchiya was not the only one who was moved, the family support group, the school cheerleading team... everyone cheered loudly with tears in their eyes.

Finally, Michiru's teammates started to move, and Michiru's fighting spirit and desire to win infected them.

This team, which had never achieved good results in regional competitions and whose cheering slogan was "Success is considered a top four," was finally impressed by Michiru.

A hearty battle.

When Michiru Hyido ended the game with a super long-range three-pointer, every audience stood up and gave the warmest cheers and applause.

The hero of Tsubaki Girls' High School was surrounded by her teammates. Her beautiful little face was red, filled only with the joy of winning. She held her teammates' hands and danced non-stop. She kept talking excitedly, but it was funny. The thing is, the only thing that kept coming out of her mouth was "Great, long live!"

Her brain, which is not very big, seems to have completely forgotten the hardships of fighting alone before. She only feels that it is great to win with her teammates.

But just because she forgot, it doesn't mean that others will forget. On the opposite side, the entire team was dragged into the abyss by Himido Michiru. Every one of the girls shed tears. The captain in the blue uniform was comforting them. After finishing his teammates, he walked towards Hyōdo Michiru.

The captain bowed ninety degrees, took off his uniform with a calm expression, and asked to exchange uniforms with Michiru.

Hyōdo Michiru, my cousin, is a talented beautiful girl born from the 500-year-old essence of the Hyōdō family and the Tsuchiya family. She is such a person that even her opponents will sincerely admire.

Whether it is the ballet team, the drama club, the basketball club, or even the current "Icy Tail" band, Michiru Hyido is relied on and trusted by her partners. This is because of her natural ability, and even more so because of her sassy, ​​direct and unpretentious character.

But for such a person, why did he become like that when facing An Yilunye?

This is not the Hyoudo Michiru Tsuchiya Ryota knows, not at all!

Indecisive, even a little indifferent to right from wrong, such a person is not the talented beautiful girl who will become the absolute center of attention no matter where she goes. Such a person will not be trusted by his teammates. No matter what team sport, the leader cannot be such a person.

Therefore, Ryota Tsuchiya was really confused.

"What happened to Michiru?"

"well……"

Mr. Hyōdo sighed heavily again.

"That happened when I was a kid..."

Ryota Tsuchiya looked like he was all ears. Anyway, he couldn't catch up with An Yilun now, so it would be good to know more about the inside story.

The old father's expression was quite complicated. It was as uncomfortable as taking a bite of Daxiang, and then he sighed heavily. It was obvious that he was extremely helpless.

"One summer vacation, Michiru went back to her grandma's house in Nagano to play as usual. Ryota, you should know that Aki often went back to her hometown to play during the holidays when she was a child. After all, you went there a lot."

"Um."

Tsuchiya Ryota nodded. For children living in big cities, going to the countryside during the holidays is a great joy. Compared with traveling abroad, it takes a long time to debate which one is better.

The clear and cool stream, the chirping of insects and birds all over the mountains and plains, the shiny black and majestic unicorn fairy, the yearning eyes of the country children, and the delicious food cooked by grandma... all of these are sources of happiness for the children. .

So of course he likes to go, but he doesn't go there as often as An Yilun.

"Then you should also know that Aki followed Michiru every day at that time."

"Ah, I'm very impressed by this."

Tsuchiya Ryota nodded, it was hard not to remember this deeply. After all, although the concept of men and women is not that deep when we are young, the education we receive as a boy from an early age is to be a man. No boy would want to be a "mom" when playing "Jiajiajiao". Girls will not be allowed to join in games such as wildball, and of course very few girls will join.

Except for Michiru, in front of her, both boys and girls are called "mortal".

Except for An Yilun, he has been timid since he was a child. No matter where Michiru went to play, he would always shout "Mei-chan, wait for me~" "Mei-chan, wait for me~" and cling tightly to him. Behind him, the boy was completely humiliated. So at that time, both the children who went back to his hometown to play and the local children didn't like him very much. Because of this, he pestered Michiru even more.

Of course, if you grow up now, a boy who has the nerve to do this will probably receive admiring looks from a lot of male compatriots.

"Michiru is a girl. Although she is still young, she will feel embarrassed to be pestered by a boy like this, even if he is a relative."

Mr. Hyōtō said somewhat depressedly. Adults like childhood sweethearts and so on, but for someone like An Yilun to be so clingy to the point of boring even girls, it is really an exaggeration.

"Michiru also told me and my grandma at that time, but as relatives, we couldn't say anything more. We just asked her to be patient."

The old father's face was full of regret, and he obviously felt that it should not have happened.

Ryota Tsuchiya was also silent. Although he would play with Michiru when he returned to his hometown when he was a child, he mostly played with other children in the town and spread the "advanced baseball theory" he learned from the big city. Although he is not as powerful as Michiru, he is still very popular. He enjoyed the adoring looks from the "bumpkin" people in the town, ahem...

"Then what?" he asked.

"Then the next day something happened."

Mr. Hyodo sighed heavily:

"Because I was too tired of Aki staying behind every day, Michiru went hiking alone. You should also know that it is the mountain with cedar trees behind the food factory."

"Ah, didn't grandma always say you can't play there?"

Tsuchiya Liang was too surprised and said that the mountain was too big and too deep for children. In my memory, my grandma told me that a total of thirteen men, six women, and one hundred and thirty-two children died in that mountain. The ways of death of the children include but are not limited to being eaten by bears with their internal organs, being blinded by foxes, and being killed by others. The civet cat was locked up and infiltrated into the house by borrowing his identity, and was taken away as a child by Grandma Shan...

"Yeah... Ryota, that's the best thing about you. Although you are not very smart, you are obedient. It would be great if this kid Michiru could be like you."

Mr. Hyōdo said with a sigh.

Tsuchiya Ryota: "..."

"It's nothing to run into the mountains. With Michiru's ability, she will definitely be able to return home safely. But she was unlucky that day and sprained her foot on the mountain and walked away."

"So misfortunes never come singly, and you shouldn't do those things when you are in a bad mood." Ryota Tsuchiya said.

"Yes, if I had known earlier, I should have asked my sister to pick up Aki, or simply take Michiru directly back to Tokyo." Mr. Hyōdo said regretfully.

My daughter was still so young, so she went hiking because she wanted to avoid the annoying An Yilun, but she sprained her foot again. How bad she would feel at that time.

"Then what?" Tsuchiya Ryota asked. He had no memory of this incident at all. It was probably because he didn't go to his hometown often at that time.

"It was getting dark, so we started looking for Michiru after not seeing her for a long time."

Speaking of this, Mr. Hyoutang's tone became extremely complicated:

"Toruya Aki who found Michiru in the end, because he knew very well that Michiru was trying to avoid him, and he knew very well where he didn't dare to go, so he immediately went to the mountain to find Michiru. Of course, maybe It was him who had been looking for Michiru all day that day..."

"Afterwards, it was Aki who carried Michiru down the mountain, so you should be able to understand why Michiru has such a special attitude towards Aki. In a sense, he is Michiru's savior."

Not only was the old father's tone dry, his mouth was even bitter, and the expression on his face was quite distorted.

Coincidentally, Ryota Tsuchiya's expression was also very distorted, as if it was his own catcher who was clearly going to knock down the ball.

As for why my uncle's expression was so twisted and complicated when he talked about his savior, Ryota Tsuchiya could completely understand.

This is too fucked up, what does this mean?

He was originally annoyed by An Yilun, so he went to climb a mountain to avoid him, and then sprained his foot on the mountain. Instead, An Yilun became his lifesaver.

This... whoever it is will not be confused.

"Michi keeps her..."

Tsuchiya Ryota didn't know what to say for a while. He swallowed and said with difficulty:

"She is still too innocent..."

An Yilun was also able to break through his fear and go to the mountain alone to find Michiru, and even carried her down alone. This incident would have deeply shocked the soul of a tired and scared little girl trapped on the mountain. , he can completely understand.

but! Everything has its cause and effect. If An Yilun wasn't so sticky that Michiru even ran to the terrifying mountains to hide, how could he have encountered such danger? At best, this can be considered as making up for one’s fault!

If he hadn't felt that An Yilun wasn't that smart, Ryota Tsuchiya would have thought this was a trick on his part. First design it to put Michiru in danger, and then heroically save her.

But if it wasn't intentional, it would be even scarier.

If it were Ryota Tsuchiya himself, let alone Michiru, who would treat An Yirun in a different light, he would definitely stay away from each other forever. It's not that he is a petty person. As long as this matter is told, the focus of the neighbors will definitely not be that An Yilun also went to the mountains to find Michiru. It must be that Michiru also ran to the mountains to avoid An Yilun and encountered danger.

After all, everyone can understand such a simple cause-and-effect relationship.

But if that person were Michiru Hyido, it wouldn't be surprising that it would turn out like this.

She has always been like this, she can only remember the good things about others.

Just like that basketball game, there was no hard work in her mind at all, only the joy of winning with her teammates.

Sassy, ​​simple and unpretentious, this is Michiru Hyōdo.

This is why everyone likes her, and this is why Ryota Tsuchiya does whatever it takes to bring his cousin to be a support group for Hojo-kun.

Aren't the two very similar? They all rely on their own efforts to lead their teammates to victory.

Such two geniuses, holding the winning flag together in Koshien, are in line with the definition of youth.

"Yeah, I have a headache too."

Mr. Hyotang frowned and spoke in a complicated tone:

"But I can't tell Michiru that you are in danger because of Aki, so you don't need to be so grateful to him. This is not what a father should say. I am also very happy to see Michiru being grateful."

This is the crux of the matter. What the daughter did was not wrong. The father knew everything in his heart but was unable to do anything due to education constraints.

But if he had known that things would turn out like this, Mr. Hyōdo would have made everything clear to his daughter from the beginning.

Tsuchiya Ryota looked at his uncle with sympathy.

"Now it depends on what Aki will say to Michiru, if..."

Mr. Hyotou did not continue what he said next, but looked at his good nephew with sympathetic eyes.

"..."

WTF? ?

Ryota Tsuchiya's eyes widened.

Thanks to the big guys for your monthly votes, recommendation votes and reward support.

The character of Hyōdo Michiru is a little different from the others. She is the childhood sweetheart of the serious An Yirun, and she has a deep emotional foundation. You think the description is not flattering, just because of her position, I can only write in this way to fit her character (of course, it may also be because of my poor writing skills).

The fun, or the highlight, of this character is... ahem, it’s a little hard to say. I’ll just say it in the title of the next chapter, and I hope it won’t be blocked.
