Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

After hanging up the phone, Hojo Kyosuke looked at the calm lake and let out a long breath, then suddenly bent down, picked up a stone and threw it into the water.

The swan, which was sleeping soundly with its neck curled up, was awakened and cried in panic. Someone clapped his hands and smiled with satisfaction.

While thinking about how to deal with Hui's family, Hojo Kyosuke turned around.

Scared!

A white figure appeared silently in front of him, and even with his courage, he subconsciously raised his arms to make a defensive posture. Fortunately, with the help of the firelight in the distance, he could see the face of the figure clearly in an instant.

"What? It turned out to be Hui you."

Relieved, Hojo Kyosuke pretended to put his hands in his trouser pockets as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that the girl's eyes were fixed on the screaming swans, he explained:

"It's late at night and cold, I'm worried that they will catch a cold if they sleep here."

Kato Megumi retracted her gaze, nodded in understanding, and said sympathetically:

"So Kyosuke wants to use special barbecue ingredients to help them?"

Someone subconsciously replied: "No! Poultry meat needs a different recipe, especially this kind of wild swan must be handled well, otherwise it will be difficult to eat... cough cough..."

Facing Megumi's big eyes full of smiles, Hojo Kyosuke closed his mouth in dismay. If there was really a lack of ingredients, with his shamelessness, he would definitely do something like beating a swan to taste the saltiness.

Someone's expression made Kato Megumi laugh out loud. He used stones to scare the swans, and wanted to roast the swans to eat. It's so cute that the legend who was just worshipped as the new god of Japanese reasoning on the TV show did such a childish thing~~

"I really won't do it!"

Hojo Kyosuke said seriously. As he said before, wild birds have a unique smell that is more unbearable than domesticated ones, and they are not good ingredients.

"I know~I know~~"

The corners of Hui's mouth curled up slightly, his hands were behind his back, and he turned around with his right foot raised.

"As the famous founder of "Hojo Reasoning", "The Demon of Reasoning", how could you do such a thing~~"

The girl's voice was full of laughter, and it was obvious that she had seen the angry look of someone when he called before.

Yes, it was completely different from what Keiichi thought.

Hojo Kyousuke followed behind the meeting and explained a lot of things that were all for the purpose of making money.

Kato Megumi nodded casually, as if she was perfunctory, but in fact she was not. Her brisk voice mixed with the night wind:

"Yeah~~We don't have that kind of cognition. Kyousuke-kun, you don't want to be so famous, and I don't intend to make myself so inconspicuous.

But in the end..."

The girl stopped, the black gravel by the lake rustled under her feet, she turned slightly and looked back at the boy behind her.

"Kyosuke, you are becoming more and more famous, more and more amazing, and I have been here for a while, and none of my parents and relatives have noticed~~"

Mei said in her usual calm and cheerful voice.

Hojo Kyosuke did not speak, because he could tell that Mei was not complaining about herself, but simply describing such a fact.

He looked at Mei. The girl was wearing a light blue dress today. According to Kato's sister who wanted to tease her, she immediately returned to the hotel to change after receiving his call.

Kato Megumi has always been such a person, very contradictory. Just like today, after receiving a phone invitation from someone, she did not feel dissatisfied with the interruption of the family gathering and schedule, but just said lightly:

"Ah, well, that's it. But I just had dessert with my sister, so I may not be able to eat much later~~"

At that time, someone who felt that his cooking skills were challenged asked back forcefully, "Last time you ate at my house, Hui, you were so full that you had to take digestive tablets!"

The girl said without resistance, "That's right~"

At the end, she actively suggested that Hojo Kyosuke directly give orders to Keiichi when inviting her family, so that it would be faster.

It can't be described as easy to talk to, just like what Hojo Kyosuke realized at the beginning. Hui is like a dandelion, she is indeed easy to bully, even if you take advantage of or attack her weaknesses, she will only bear it calmly. But when I came to my senses, I found that she was actually growing healthier, so healthy that she was everywhere.

At this time, she still changed into clothes that were more suitable for gathering with friends and put on makeup before coming here. She was completely a girl who couldn't be more girly. At least she was a hundred times more girly than Eriri, who was naturally beautiful without makeup.

Hojo Kyosuke looked at Hui like this, she tilted her head, and her bob haircut Very fluffy, must have been washed before. The orange-red firelight passed through her hair, dyeing the black into brown.

He saw himself in her eyes, and also skipped her face, and saw her parents and relatives sitting around the campfire. Indeed, no one was looking over here. This was very wrong. Those people were still chasing him and asking questions before, but now they didn't even look over here. It was as if Hui's invisible position had also wrapped him up.

Hui blinked, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on her calm face.

"But~~"

She turned back and stopped looking at someone's face.

"But... Obviously, they are two completely different situations, but I feel a little similar..."

The girl's voice was very soft, so soft that it was hard to tell whether it was the sound of the wind or her talking.

Even Hojo Kyosuke couldn't figure out Hui's thoughts for a while.

But fortunately, Hui was not sad at all, but inexplicably happy?

So he also smiled:

"But that was in the past. Now, Hui, you will soon become a celebrity! Work hard and become the new No. 1 in the school!"

Hearing this, Hui, who was in a very good mood, turned around and wrinkled her nose, showing a suffocated expression.

"As for me~ I will definitely not do the questions tonight! I can't do any questions! I want you to know that I am not always so easy to talk to~~"

After saying that, the girl quickened her pace and walked forward, as if she was afraid that someone would grab her and lock her in a small dark room for remedial lessons.

Looking at the girl's back, Hojo Kyosuke shook his head and laughed.

Although I said that... but if I ask you to study with me now, Hui, you still won't refuse, right?

Thinking so, he walked to the barbecue grill.

Since the Kato family has been invited, I still have to show my skills and entertain them well!

Fresh seasonal vegetables and meat were continuously placed on the charcoal fire, sprinkled with Hojo's secret seasoning after a burst of smoke and fire, and finally disappeared in the sound of "so hot" and "so delicious".

Although the Hojo couple repeatedly invited them warmly and there were indeed many rooms left in the villa, the Kato family still did not stay.

"I am very satisfied to enjoy such beautiful scenery and food. I can't disturb you anymore!"

Kato's father nodded and thanked him, holding Hojo Kyosuke's hand tightly with both hands. He never thought that this trip could be so magical and he could meet Mr. Hojo.

Hojo Kyosuke looked at Hui standing between his sister and cousin with his peripheral vision. She was like a drop of water blending into the sea, and her presence disappeared instantly. She didn't even say goodbye to him alone, as if she was just going to the bathroom after class. "We'll see each other later, right?"

Finally, she asked the housekeeper of the villa to drive the bus of Ruyi Liao to send the Kato family away. The Teshi, who had worked on the construction site since he was a child, looked like a Showa uncle and had been drinking a lot. Probably in a rural place like Itomori, it has not been polluted by the new generation too much, and still retains the pure Showa style.

He shouted that the people he picked up must be sent away by him, and he staggered to climb into the driver's seat. At that scene, even Kato Megumi, who was calm, was frightened and her face turned pale. She opened her mouth to refuse but was embarrassed.

In the end, it was Sayaka who grabbed the Teshi's ear and took him away, as if to let him sober up in the cold lake water.

Watching the taillights of the bus going away along the Hubei Highway along the shore of Lake Kawaguchi, the lively atmosphere just now seemed to have cooled down a bit, but the girls soon became excited at the call of Hojo Kyosuke.

"Fireworks!?"

Eriri shouted in surprise.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

What Hojo Kyosuke carried out from the villa was a large box of fireworks.

Just as a bonfire should be paired with a cotton beach, beautiful girls and the night should naturally be paired with fireworks.

It was not some kind of sky-launching fireworks that were launched into the sky. That kind of fireworks required an application to the local town hall, and basically would not be approved unless a large-scale fireworks festival was directly held with sponsorship.

It was just some cold light fireworks like fairy sticks, which were safe and beautiful.

Although the regulations were very strict, Hojo Kyosuke himself liked it very much. Otherwise, if he stayed on the beach of Atami like last night, someone would have to set off fireworks all night, and he would definitely not be able to sleep well.

In Neon, sky-launching fireworks are called "fireworks", which means the kind that are so big that they are afraid of exploding in the sky. And things like fairy sticks are called "incense fireworks".

Girls will find it exciting to play with them, and Hojo Kyosuke has seen Onitsuka and his friends wrap a circle of fairy sticks around their heads with cloth strips and light them all up as a crown or something. Those bastards are too careless.

Not only Eriri, Sakura, Mitsuha, and Naoko, they all gathered around Hojo Kyosuke like children, stretching their heads to look into the box, trying to see what fireworks were inside. Even Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been pretending to be calm, had a lot of excitement on her face.

Hojo Kyosuke's mother kept urging her son to walk faster.

However, when he walked to the lake with the box in his arms, Hojo Kyosuke suddenly thought.

Why do I feel like I'm playing with good things while Hui is gone?

After being stunned for two seconds, he quickly comforted himself.

This is not my fault, blame Hui if you want to blame someone. It's already a great thing to be able to remember Hui all the time, how can I miss her while playing with good things?

Duang!

The big cardboard box was placed heavily on the ground. The envoy and Sayaka, with wet hair, also came over. This guy probably really sucked the lake water on his face. After all, Hojo Kyosuke still remembered that when they went to Itomori Lake to catch fish together, the envoy also went directly into the water to catch them.

"Wow! Hanabi!"

Sayaka cheered and ran over, squeezing next to Mitsuha who had already squatted down to look for fireworks.

It might be the fear of human beings for thunder and other heavenly fires, or the sense of security that fire can bring to people, or the hope represented by light.

In short, when the first fairy stick was lit in Eriri's hand, looking at the girl's smiling face illuminated by the golden flames, Hojo Kyosuke instantly understood the fun of incense and fireworks.

It was a small stick that would go out in a minute or two. It didn't have the huge sound of a three-foot jade and the spectacular sight, nor the shock of burning half the sky like the Five Mountains Fire Festival, but the crackling little fairy stick could bring endless fun.

Hojo Kyosuke stood silently by the side, watching Sakura, Mitsuha, Glass, Yukino, and Yukino bring their fairy sticks to Eriri to light them, and then waved them excitedly.

Before she could light it for Shiyu, the one in Eriri's hand had gone out, but she didn't allow Kasumigaoka to borrow fire from others, but immediately picked up another one and brought it to Sakura to light it, and then stubbornly helped her light it.

Kasumigaoka was surprisingly not angry, but obeyed Eriri's arrangement very obediently.

Hojo Kyosuke couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and took a picture of the moment when Shiyu's fairy stick was lit by Eriri. The golden sparks exploded into a piece, plating the girl's face with gold.

Shiyu's cold and beautiful face also showed a childlike and lovely expression at this time.

She looked at the fairy wand in her hand, opened her mouth slightly and admired the fireworks intently, and her wine-red eyes turned golden.

Hojo Kyosuke lit a few fireworks that would spray fire on the ground, and the lakeside became more lively, and even the dark lakeside was illuminated.

Golden red and white lights crackled.

He looked around and saw his mother holding a bunch of fairy wands and lighting them at once, as bright as torches. His father stood aside holding his sister. Little Kashiko stretched out his hand to take the beautiful things in his mother's hand, but he could only hear his father's earnest persuasion.

Hojo Kashiko was obviously a bad-hearted woman. She was not worried that it was unsafe for children to play with this, but simply wanted to make her daughter anxious. Soon the fairy stick in her hand burned out. She immediately took her daughter and lit a new one, then put it in her daughter's hand and waved it.

"Oh~~ Oh~~ What a beautiful wine--!!"

Xiao Jiashizi kept exclaiming, his big eyes wide open.

Hojo Ichiro next to him kept shouting to be careful.

Hojo Kyosuke looked to the other side again, and Yotsuba was leading her friends to arrange various fireworks on the ground to form a circular magic circle.

Yuzuru was making a video call to his grandmother. This little guy really didn't know how precious it was for the elderly to sleep! Naturo next to him also held a firework and happily talked to his grandmother.

Unknowingly, Hojo Kyosuke had already smiled like a sunflower.

He took out his mobile phone and sent photos of Eriri and Kasumigaoka to Hui, and the girl over there replied quickly.

"Bad!" - Hui (End of this chapter)
