Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Hojo Kyosuke thought that he would have to wait for a long time before his mother and the others would come back, but he didn't expect that the girls would already come back babbling in just two or three hours.

The girls all held a roll of beautifully packaged fabric in their arms, their faces full of excitement, and they were obviously very satisfied with this trip.

After being stunned for a moment, he realized that although the Wufu store also sells ready-made kimonos, people who are a little more particular will not buy ready-made kimonos. Instead, they will choose the fabrics themselves and then measure and customize them. Kimono sewing is not difficult. In many traditional families, mothers and grandmothers can sew.

Hojo Kyosuke has also seen such a plot in a TV series. His mother was seriously ill and died soon. Every day, she lay on the hospital bed and sewed with needle and thread, preparing a kimono for her daughter. From the Seven-Five-Three Festival to the adult ceremony, the newlyweds The kimonos were all prepared, and blood was inevitably vomited during the process. Then, the traces of blood were sewn into gorgeous patterns with needle and thread.

but……

Hojo Kyousuke glanced at his mother with some confusion. The kimonos he wore when he went to the shrine when he was five and seven years old were respectively made and sent by his grandmother and made by his grandmother. Anyway, none of them were made by his mother. , this stupid beauty can’t even cook well, so expecting her to make clothes is really too much.

As for the kimono for the coming-of-age ceremony, in my memory, when my mother was chatting with Sakura’s mother, she heard Aunt Maki say that Sakura’s kimono was all made by her own hands, so her mother immediately swore that she would not care about the flowers. No matter how long it takes, you will definitely prepare a kimono for yourself to wear as an adult.

Regarding this sentence, Hojo Kyosuke has reservations. Is it possible that in the past few years since returning to Hokkaido, my mother has learned a little bit about female beauty under the influence of her grandma?

He stood up before he could pack his things and wanted to say hello, but before he could say anything, Erili rushed into the Japanese room and squeezed him away. Although her butt was not as round and plump as Shiyu-senpai's, it was It is full of elasticity.

Then the girl couldn't wait to unseal the cloth, but the packaging of the cloth itself was relatively tight. In addition, because of the rain, the clerk added an extra layer of plastic seal. Adding one layer after another was simply better than any sealing monster in neon history. The seal must be reliable. According to Hojo Kyosuke, why bother supporting those monks and priests? Just let the department store clerk seal the monsters and keep them safe so that Susanoo and his like have no chance of escaping.

Wait, that seems to be a god, not a monster? It doesn’t matter, they’re all the same anyway, and they’re not good things.

Thinking of the treacherous things in his mind, Hojo Kyosuke smiled and nodded towards Mitsuha and Miki, who were meeting for the first time today. Although he faced the heir to the Millennium Shrine, he did not feel guilty at all. Not to mention that the Miyamizu Shrine is now reduced to ashes, even three years ago he would have dared to scold the god directly. And Mitsuha, the shrine maiden, would definitely be very supportive. After all, the shrine maiden would often scold her own gods in her diary at that time, showing no respect. She was the first to applaud the destruction of the shrine.

Sanye over there also looked over, winked playfully, grinned and raised the fabric in his arms, looking very interested.

Yes, at that time, the kimono Mitsuha wore was made by Mrs. Futaba.

Hojo Kyosuke thought of Mitsuha's four-leaf clover patterned yukata, how beautiful it was.

Looking at Sanye's little face, someone felt better. He knew that Mitsuha liked his mother very much. When the two of them were in Kushiro City, they even tried to play inhumane pranks on their bodies by dressing up as women. He was happy to see Sanye find some missing maternal love in his mother.

The seal that would put all onmyoji to shame soon made the impatient Eiri scream frantically.

"I really want to cut it with a knife!"

The girl looked at the unmoving packaging fiercely and complained a few times about thanking the clerk a quarter of an hour ago. At that time, she should have told her that there was no need to wrap it! Why are you pretending to be a young lady?

She wanted to cut it directly with a knife, but she was worried that it would damage the fabric.

Seeing this scene, Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't help but let out a proud sneer. Sure enough, it doesn't work. I have no experience at all. No wonder the drawings in the notebook include tearing clothes and corrosion with potions.

"From here, I've left you with an opening."

Sakura laughed playfully and took the cloth from Eirili's hand. She found a small protrusion from one end of the cloth and gently pulled it. Sure enough, the packaging that made Eirili furious was immediately untied.

This considerate move immediately made the expressions of the two people behind him become subtle. These two people were Mitsuha Miyamizu and Shiha Kasumigaoka.

The more people there are, the better. Hojo Kyousuke's low table and things were immediately put away neatly, and Eiriri's fabrics were spread out on the tatami.

"How about it! Look beautiful!"

Eiriri, who was kneeling on the ground, admired it for two seconds, then raised her face and looked at Hojo Kyosuke and asked excitedly.

You guy, if I dare to say that I don’t look good, you will probably drive me out into the yard to get soaked in the rain, right?

Hojo Kyousuke cursed in his heart. It was obviously a question, but Eiri's tone left no room for denial.

Facing the girl's expectant eyes, he also raised his hand and rubbed his chin to appreciate it carefully.

Kimono's patterns or "wabashi" can generally be divided into two types: "komo nori" and "eba". Komon nori is a simple small pattern that is repeated constantly. Mitsuha's four-leaf clover yukata is like this. , this fabric is also often used to make lightweight clothing such as yukata.

"Eha" is a gorgeous pattern that looks like a complete painting when unfolded, such as the roll of fabric that Eri is showing now.

The background color of the fabric is flax, and a big red lion jumps among the blooming peonies.

Each petal of the peony flower is spread out with all its strength, and its vitality is almost overflowing. It is a majestic beauty. The lion in the painting does not look like a lion at all, but this is normal. Hojo Kyosuke has never seen a stone lion that looks like a lion except in the zoo. However, the painting is quite powerful and domineering, and it complements the peonies of "One Thousand Flowers". Even if it is just a piece of cloth, it is enough for people to imagine how domineering it would be to wear a kimono with this pattern.

"Tang Lion"

This is the name of this pattern, which is easy to understand. It comes from the lion from the Tang Dynasty.

Why do neon lions look like dogs and cats but not like lions? It’s because they have never seen this creature. There were no lions in neon lights in ancient times. When they knew about lions, this guy had already become the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Mythical creatures. Is there a problem with the mythical beast looking weird? Not at all, don’t you think all the Kooma dogs in front of the shrine need to have horns? Oh, that thing seems to be a stone lion, I'm sorry.

In short, Neon people have an extraordinary love for this kind of culture "borrowed" from the Tang Dynasty.

Hojo Kyosuke thought about it casually. The Tang Dynasty-style fabric made him want to take it for himself.

"It looks good. You will look very handsome when you wear it."

He answered in the affirmative.

"Right!!"

Yinglili immediately shouted happily.

However, this fabric is suitable for Mitsuha, Sakura, and Shiyu, but it is not suitable for you.

Hojo Kyousuke silently thought to himself that such a domineering pattern could only be controlled by girls like Mitsuha Sakura and the others. As for Yinglili, it would be great if a bunny eats grass or a chicken pecks at rice. They are cute and have no brains. If you blend in with a seven-year-old girl, you can pretend to be the eldest sister.

"It always feels like you're thinking about something very rude?"

Yinglili said suspiciously.

"No! I think it suits you very well!"

Someone said quickly, looking at Yinglili who showed her little tiger teeth and looked unkind, he really thought it was quite appropriate. Isn't this just a little lion?

After sharing the happiness, Ying Lili still collected the fabric very wisely and let others show it.

Next, others showed off. As expected by Hojo Kyousuke, they all had "eba" patterns, which meant that his mother planned to give Mitsuha and the others furisode kimonos. The most obvious difference from yukatas is that they are more gorgeous and have sleeves. It is also longer and can be worn by unmarried women in formal occasions, such as adult style.

The three-leaf cloth has a brick red or light pink base, with four or five clusters of flower balls on top, some with red wheat flowers as the theme, some with peonies as the theme, and some with red camellia... The bottom of the flower ball The long silk threads seem to be intertwined in disorder, but if you look closely, there seems to be some kind of pattern. The silk thread is not simply printed and dyed, but sewn with exquisite silk thread.

This light pink color really looks like "Yamato Nadeshiko", and the red wheat flower is worthy of being called Yamato Nadeshiko flower. This pattern itself symbolizes elegance, beauty and smile, and will bring about a beautiful love affair.

"It suits you very well." Hojo Kyosuke said sincerely. The familiar color reminded him of the first time the two of them swapped bodies. At that time, Mitsuha was also wearing a kimono of the same color and was weaving knots with her mother-in-law and Yotsuba.

"Hmm~ I just thought you would also like it, Kyosuke."

Sanye smiled sweetly, and the two of them had a good connection, and they could feel each other's thoughts without saying anything. She fell in love with the roll of cloth when she first saw it in the Wu clothing store. Those intricate threads were just like Ruyi Lao at this moment, everyone was intertwined with each other. It looks chaotic, but in fact it is all connected to the beautiful flower ball.

She sincerely hopes that the connection between herself and everyone will eventually lead to a beautiful bouquet.

When she arrived at Sakura, she chose a bamboo pattern with a white background. It sounded very elegant, but it was actually very cute because there was a chubby panda crawling on the bamboo.

The bamboos are green and green, and the pandas are cute and naive. As soon as you take a look at them, the first thing you notice is not the elegant bamboos, but the pandas with round heads and round bodies.

"I originally wanted to have all panda designs, but the boss told me this is the only one."

Sakura said with some pity, there was still fabric with small animal patterns, and it was also on a white background, but the animals turned into penguins, and the ice field was full of chubby penguins walking in a queue. She was a little moved after seeing it, but she thought Kyousuke liked pandas more, so she finally chose the panda one.

"Hahahaha, too many pandas can be very dangerous." Hojo Kyosuke said with a smile.

"What? Do they fight? Grab bamboo or something."

Ying Lili asked curiously, and the other girls next to her were also curious. No one would dislike such a round and cute creature like a panda.

"No, it's not the pandas that are dangerous, it's the people wearing these patterned clothes."

Hojo Kyosuke smiled and explained:

"Yukishita, if that guy sees these clothes, I'm afraid he will like them and hang them on you."

He unceremoniously made fun of the snow. I believe that even if he heard what he said, the guy would only say, "I don't have money. I won't buy a new one myself?". It is impossible to refute the rebuttal. Yes, when saying this, he would most likely keep stroking the panda on Sakura's back like a perverted uncle.

"Huh??? That cold-faced girl actually likes pandas so much?"

Eiriri was surprised and said that Yukinoshita was as bad-tempered as Kasumigaoka in her area. At the same time, because she knew that a certain demon girl secretly liked herself, she was actually more afraid of Yukinoshita, and secretly warned herself not to quarrel with that person. The woman Kasumigaoka Shiha is thick-skinned and can withstand Yukinoshita's attacks, but a reserved lady like her needs to dodge wisely!

"I can't say this, but next time you can try disguising Momotaro as a kitten." Hojo Kyosuke said with a wicked smile.

"Momotaro?"

Eiri lowered her head and started looking for Momotaro, and finally saw the fluffy puppy that was blocked by the guardrail in the living room to avoid causing trouble.

"No matter how much you disguise it, there is still a big difference between dogs and cats! Yukinoshita is so smart, how could he not be able to tell the difference!" She yelled dissatisfied, which is why she told herself not to quarrel with Yukinoshita. First, that guy's brain is very useful, and he will definitely come up with bad ideas every second.

"Maybe? Although it doesn't look like it, she is very tolerant of cat creatures."

Speaking of it, Kyousuke Hojo wants to laugh. In fact, Yukinoshita likes pandas, but Aiya and Wu fall in love with cats, and then Aiya and Wu even fall in love with tigers. If she sees cat ears...

"Is this so..." Yingli lowered her head and began to think.

Then the display continued. Hojo Kyousuke originally thought that the pattern of Eiriri's roll of cloth was domineering enough, but he didn't expect that Shiba-senpai's was even better.

Everyone else's fabrics had large white spaces on them, but Kasumigaoka Shiha's didn't.

Two huge folding fans unfolded from the left shoulder and left hem respectively, almost occupying the entire piece of fabric. The bright red folding fan is decorated with various flowers and Tang grass patterns. Outside the folding fan, there are bamboo leaves and flower balls. The accessories of the two folding fans are intertwined with each other.

The colors are quite exaggerated and gorgeous, creating a gorgeous and dynamic visual effect.

"How about it?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu raised a slight smile on her lips and asked confidently.

Just as someone was about to answer, he heard an infinitely charming voice ringing in his ears:

"Would you feel a sense of accomplishment if you take off such clothes?" (End of Chapter)
