Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 986 Nishimiya Yuzuru Wants to Say Sorry

Time is the only thing that can defeat memories.

Memories are also the only thing that can resist the erosion of time.

When she was young, Nishimiya Naoko often squatted on the bridge, put her head between the gaps in the guardrail and looked down at the fish and water below.

The water is so free and the fish are so happy.

The fallen leaves and flowers floating on the water are so beautiful.

Her head was full of simple thoughts like these, and she didn't think about anything profound. But just this alone made her very happy, because at this time she didn't need to work hard to fulfill her mother's requirements, and she didn't need to face the difficult world.

A world made up of water and fish, the latter dependent on the former. One is vast and tranquil, unchanging; the other is carefree and dependent.

You can live comfortably without turning into a demon, even if you leave the water you will die.

Such a relationship is twisted and simple, and reassuring.

When we left Tokyo, there was a beautiful sunset in the sky, but when we returned to Shuimen City, it was completely dark.

The Mizumon River is divided into many tributaries in the city. The larger one is the one under the Mizumon Bridge, and the smaller ones are like the one at the entrance of the community where the Nishimiya family lives. They are all called the Mizumon River.

However, for Nishinomiya Glass, whenever the Mizumon River is mentioned, it must be referring to the canal in front of her home.

The moon had not yet risen to the center of the sky, so the only light on the river was from street lamps.

The dark green water plants dyed the river a dark color, and the beautiful carp were almost invisible; their presence could only be known from the ripples that appeared from time to time.

Mountains and rivers are almost time itself, and people's memories can cling to them, making it impossible for the power of forgetting to erode them.

Above the water and the fish, Kyousuke confessed to himself, saying that he was his hero.

Heroes, isn't that just like water? Heroes have no obligation to protect people, and water has no obligation to raise fish, but they both do that.

What an amazing existence.

"Sister! Sister!"

A clear shout came from far away, followed by the sound of short footsteps, and a girl wearing sneakers and a red and white sports jacket ran over.

"Why are you squatting here instead of going home? Luckily I was always on the balcony watching below, otherwise you would have been carried away by mosquitoes!"

Balah blah, Yuzuru Nishimiya talked non-stop excitedly.

Nishimiya Glass patted the bread crumbs on her hands, slowly stood up, and looked at her sister with a silly, bully-like smile on her face.

Yuzuru looked at his sister helplessly. Is this person really okay?

Isn't she now a mature professional who has officially joined the workforce and is a core member of the team? Why does she look exactly like when she was in elementary school, crying for a long time after being bullied by her classmates and waiting until her clothes were dry before returning home?

That enviable cute face still looks silly, and facing the concern of family members, it is still full of "I'm fine, don't worry".

The only difference may be that those eyes are no longer confused and uneasy, but clear and calm, just like the quiet night.

Yuzuru Nishimiya felt surprised but warm at the same time.

"If my classmates saw this, they might think I'm the older sister."

She shook her head and stepped forward to hold her sister's hand.

Well, it’s warm, so it definitely hasn’t fallen into the water.

"Let's go home. Mom and grandma are waiting for you."

Nishimiya Naoko grabbed it back with her backhand, using a little too much force.

"Well, go home~"

She smiled, then turned around and saw the bread floating on the water being dragged into the water by the fish. She thought that it was indeed easier to raise fish, and she didn't have to worry about the fish getting too full like Lily.

The house is an old building without an elevator, which was bought by my grandma and grandpa when they were young. After the divorce, my grandma asked my mother to move back with her and Yuzuru, in order to save rent and take care of herself.

She was thinking randomly in her mind. She was obviously very tired, but for some reason, as she went up the stairs, she felt her body becoming more and more relaxed.

The door was not closed and light was coming through the crack.

This was not the case before, because we had two young children at home, so everyone in the family would make sure the door was closed when they went out to avoid bad things from happening.

Yuzuru is a sloppy guy.

Although she said that, Nishiko felt relieved because this careless behavior just showed her sister's current state. She was no longer so tense, but was careless like an ordinary junior high school girl.

Just like... Yotsuba.

With a smile on her lips, Nishimiya Naoko opened the door.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Two sudden noises startled Glass, who was about to shout "I'm back". Before she could figure out what was happening, her head was covered with shiny pieces of paper and several ribbons hung from her head in front of her eyes, blocking her view of her mother and grandmother.

"Congratulations!!"

"Oh no daddy much!"

The voices of my mother and grandmother were heard.

Glass raised her hand to cover her mouth, and her eyes were filled with tears in an instant.

"Snapped!"

There was another soft sound, and it was Yuzuru Nishimiya behind him who pulled open another paper firework.

"Pfft~"

Tears finally overflowed, but there was a smile on her face.

Glass turned around and patted her sister's head with tears and laughter. The latter looked up and giggled, stretched out her hand to push her sister's waist, and muttered:

"Hurry up and go in, or the neighbors will be angry!"

The entrance of the old apartment was very narrow, just enough for two salesmen to stand.

The two sisters entered the house. Yaeko Nishimiya reached out to take the schoolbag from her eldest daughter. Kei Nishimiya couldn't wait to grab her eldest granddaughter's hand and pull her into the house.

It was still difficult for Xiaozi to speak. She felt like she would burst into tears if she opened her mouth. Her grandmother's hands were very warm, which made her want to cry even more.

The four generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat down on the sofa in the living room. Yaeko Nishimiya and Kei Nishimiya surrounded Nozomi on the left and right, while Yuzuru sat alone on the small sofa on the right.

Mother and grandmother are mature people in society. They can tell how Naoko feels at the moment just by looking at her state when she walks in, but Yuzuru is not like that.

The little girl looked at her sister who was crying and laughing, and then crying and laughing. She scratched her head anxiously, and asked impatiently after waiting for a few seconds:

"Sister? Didn't your work go well today? Or were you bullied?"

As soon as she finished saying this, she frowned again and said curiously:

"But that's not right. Didn't Kyosuke prepare a celebration banquet for you at home?"

As soon as these words came out, Nishimiya Yaeko glared at her little daughter in reproach and said helplessly:

"If things don't go well, there's no way Glass would cry."

Although there were many things wrong, she still understood her daughter.

Glass is the kind of person who will keep silent when she is hurt, but can't help but smile when something good happens.

"Haha~Is that so? Is that so~~"

Yuzuru scratched his head and giggled. From this expression, it was easy to see that he and Nozomi had a sisterly relationship.

The girl's turbulent emotions slowly eased; she was so happy and excited.

The girl never expected that her serious mother would actually stand at the door and celebrate with her with fireworks. This huge surprise made her almost unable to believe it.

"Thank you, thank you, Mom, Grandma."

Glass said in a low voice.

"Me, me! And me! I have to endure not to overtake you. It's very hard to walk slowly behind you!"

Yuzuru yelled.

Glass then smiled even more happily and said thank you to her sister in a crisp voice, but this made the little girl blush with shame.

The air in the living room was warm and relaxed. Glass first asked about her mother, her work, and her grandmother's health. Then she began to talk about today's work and the launch meeting held a few days ago.

"...I learned a lot of things in the training center, but it felt completely different when I was actually working. It took me a long time to adapt. I was so nervous at the time. I was afraid of wasting everyone's time and that the anime would not be broadcast normally because of me..."

"What about Oizumi Kaori? I watched the news video, that girl is so hateful! Was she fired?!"

Nishimiya Yuzuru asked loudly.

"Oizumi Kaori? I'm not sure what happened to her later, but her role has been replaced by someone else, who is also my colleague in the same office."

"Haha! I knew that Kyosuke-kun would never let go of anyone who dared to hurt Nozomi!"

Yuzuru laughed loudly, and Yaeko Nishimiya and his grandmother beside him also looked trusting. It was obvious that someone had successfully gained the unanimous trust of the Nishimiya family over the years.

"But Nitro's performance was also very good. Mom was shocked when she heard what you said!"

Nishimiya Yaeko interrupted.

"Hmm...Hehe~~"

Glass raised her hand and tapped her face with her index finger, smiling a little embarrassedly:

"It's just, it's just a moment of emotion."

This statement suddenly made the air quiet for a moment. Everyone understood why Glass was so emotional.

Even with the advancement of biomedical technology, even the most stubborn scars can be eliminated, but every time the hand touches that place, the pain and the hideous touch of the scar will cause an emotional reaction in the brain.

Memories are such stubborn things.

Even Yuzuru Nishimiya, who had a proud expression of "My brother Kyosuke is the best" just now, lowered his face in disappointment.

Nishimiya Glass knows it.

Yuzuru's situation was not good when she was a child. She was actually very embarrassed because she felt awkward having a sister like her who had disabilities.

As soon as her classmates at school knew about this, they would keep questioning her and look at her strangely.

Criminals in Europe and America will be forgiven, and after being justly executed, their families and neighbors will come out to praise him as a good man, a good son, a good father, etc.

In Asia and the Han Chinese cultural circle, the popular belief is that if a person commits a crime, then there will be problems with his family and even friends.

This phenomenon is particularly serious in Neon and is carried forward in every corner.

Yuzuru went home to ask his mother about what Nishiko had heard. She said, "Mom, my classmates said that I won't be able to hear it in the future. Is that true?"

When asking this question, Yuzuru cried very sadly, and his voice was full of fear.

Even if she got a negative answer, her classmates would not believe it, or they simply did not care. They would just yell in her ear every day when they saw Yuzuru, then laugh and say:

"Great, Yuzuru, you can still hear me!"

The child's unprovoked, pure, and extreme malice not only enveloped Nishimiya Naoko, but also spread like a virus, killing her mother's marriage and the kindness around Yuzuru...

In fact, Nitroko has always known in her heart how her sister felt about her when she was a child.

This is not a sinful thing, but human nature. Adults can still correct this wrong mentality through life practice, but what can a child do? It is too difficult for her to see the world correctly.

My sister has never said to me, "I hate you the most." She is already a very good and kind child.

And Yuzuru woke up quickly. After all, family love is the best antidote.

But on the other hand, the dislike she felt for her sister due to the strange looks from her classmates made her feel disgusted with herself, which was the reason why she consciously and actively accepted her mother's "devil education".

She wanted to punish herself, to become strong and protect her useless sister.

Yuzuru did nothing wrong, his mother did nothing wrong, and I...did nothing wrong either.

No one needs to say sorry to anyone.

"it does not matter."

The girl held her mother's hand and said softly:

"I'm fine. I'm fine now."

Her voice was directed toward her sister.

The emotions that Nishimiya Yuzuru had accumulated for several days finally burst out at this moment. She shouted "Sister!" and threw herself straight into Nozomi's arms from the other side of the sofa.

"sorry Sorry……"

Tears instantly flooded her eyes and wet Nitro's white shirt.

"Glass, glass..."

Nishimiya Yaeko murmured:

"You are really brave now."

Glass smiled with her lips pursed, did not answer, but shook her head slightly, almost imperceptibly.

She continued to talk about today's work, her own mistakes, the enthusiastic guidance of her predecessors, and the relationship between the supervisor, the original author, and Kyousuke-kun, and...

The night gradually deepened, and Yuzuru, who had to go to school the next day, was urged by Nishimiya Yaeko to go to bed quickly.

The little girl looked at her sister reluctantly and said expectantly, "Nitro, let's sleep together tonight!"

After Nishimiya Glass went to Kyoto to study, the biggest beneficiary was Nishimiya Yuzuru. She, who had to sleep in a cupboard before, now had a bed.

It takes two hours to take the train from Sumon City to Tokyo, which is a piece of cake for Japanese high school students. There are many high school students who commute two hours to school every day, and there are even more.

Before Naoko could say anything, Nishimiya Yaeko glared at her little daughter and said:

"Nitro-chan has an exam and work tomorrow. How can you have the energy to take the exam after sitting on the train for two hours? Go to bed! If you're late tomorrow, you'll be finished!"

Hearing this, Glass burst out laughing.

Home is really different now.

The air becomes easy.

When Yuzuru was driven back to the room, Nishimiya Yaeko looked at her mother and daughter in the living room, opened her mouth to say something, but finally closed her mouth and just asked:

"Is there a driver waiting for you downstairs?"

Nishimiya Glass nodded and said with a smile: "Kyosuke-kun is also on his way here. He is worried about me going home alone."

"..."

Going home?

Nishimiya Yaeko nodded silently, then returned to the room, leaving the space to the grandparents and grandchildren.

Xigong Xi held her granddaughter's hand, her smile was gentle and kind, and her voice was slow like an old woman:

"Nitro-chan...are you okay?"

Upon hearing this, the girl's tears began to burst out again. (End of this chapter)
