Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 863 Hui, we really didn't hide this from you on purpose

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.

scare!

A white figure appeared silently in front of him, and even with his courage, he couldn't help but raise his arms subconsciously in 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's you, Hui."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Hojo Kyosuke put his hands in his trouser pockets as if nothing had happened.

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

"It's late at night and cold, and I'm worried they'll catch a cold sleeping here."

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

"So Kyousuke-kun wants to help them with special barbecue ingredients?"

Someone subconsciously replied, "No! Poultry meat needs a different recipe, especially wild swans, which must be handled well, otherwise it will be difficult to eat... cough cough..."

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

Someone's expression made Kato Megumi laugh out loud. He scared the swan with a stone and wanted to roast the swan to eat. The legend who was just regarded as the new god of Japanese reasoning on a TV show did such a childish thing. It's really cute~~

"I really can't do that!"

Hojo Kyosuke said seriously, just as he said before, the unique taste of wild poultry is more unbearable than that of domesticated ones, and they are not good ingredients.

"I know~ I know~~"

Hui raised the corners of her mouth slightly, put her hands behind her back, lifted her right foot and turned around.

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

The girl's voice was thick with laughter. It was obvious that she had seen the frustrated look on the face of someone who had called before.

Yes, it’s completely different from what Keiichi-nii thought.

Hojo Kyosuke followed the meeting and explained a bunch of things about how everything was just for the purpose of making money.

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

"Yeah~~ We both don't have that perception. Kyousuke-kun, you don't intend to become that famous, and I don't intend to make myself that inconspicuous.

But in the end…”

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

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

Kei said in her usual calm and light voice.

Hojo Kyosuke didn't say anything, because he could tell that Hui was not complaining about herself, but was simply describing a fact.

He looked at Hui. The girl was wearing a light blue dress today. According to Kato's sister who wanted to play a trick on her, she rushed back to the hotel to change into it after receiving his call.

Kato Megumi has always been such a contradictory person. Just like today, after receiving a phone call from someone, she showed no dissatisfaction with the interruption of the family gathering and schedule, but just said lightly:

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

Someone who felt 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 any resistance, "That's right~"

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

It's hard to describe her as nice, 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 just bear it calmly. But when you come to your senses, you will find that she has grown healthier, so healthy that she is everywhere.

At this time, she still changed into clothes more suitable for gathering with friends and put on makeup before coming. She was 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 was very fluffy. It must have been washed recently. The orange-red flames passed through her hair, dyeing the black color into brown.

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

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

"But~~"

She turned back again, no longer looking at someone's face.

"But... they are clearly two completely different situations, but I feel a sense of similarity..."

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

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

But fortunately, Hui was not sad at all. Instead, she became inexplicably happy?

He then laughed and said:

"But that was in the past. Now, Hui, you're going to be a celebrity soon! Work hard and become the new best in the school!"

Hui, who was in a very good mood, turned around and wrinkled her nose with a sullen expression when she heard this.

"As for me, I definitely won't do any questions tonight! I can't do any of them! I want you to know that I'm not always 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 to make up lessons.

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

Even though I say that...but if I ask you to study with me now, you still won't refuse, right?

Thinking this, he walked to the barbecue grill.

Since we have invited the Kato family, we have to show off our skills and entertain them well!

Fresh seasonal vegetables and meat are continuously placed on the charcoal fire, sprinkled with Hojo's secret seasoning after a burst of smoke and fire, and finally disappear amidst the sounds of "It's so hot" and "It's so delicious".

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

"I am already very satisfied to be able to enjoy such beautiful scenery and delicious food. I can't disturb you any further!"

Kato's father nodded and thanked him, holding Hojo Kyosuke's hands tightly with both hands. He never expected that this trip would be so magical and he would actually meet Hojo teacher.

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 instantly disappeared. She didn't even say goodbye to him alone, as if she was just going to the bathroom after class. "Anyway, we can see each other later, right?"

Finally, the housekeeper of the villa was asked to drive the bus of Ruyi Liao to send Kato and his 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. It was probably in a rural area like Itomori that it had not been polluted by the new generation and still retained the pure Showa style.

He yelled that the person he picked up must be sent away, and he staggered to climb into the driver's seat. At that scene, even someone as calm as Kato Megumi was frightened and her face turned pale. She opened her mouth to refuse but was too embarrassed.

In the end, Sayaka grabbed the imperial envoy's ear and took him away, as if she wanted him to sober up in the cold lake water.

Looking at the taillights of the bus going away along the Hubei Highway along the shore of Lake Kawaguchi, the lively atmosphere just now seemed to cool down a little, but the girls soon became excited at the greeting of Hojo Kyosuke.

"fireworks!?"

Ying Lili cried out in surprise.

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

Just as a bonfire goes with a cotton beach, beautiful girls and the night naturally go with fireworks.

These aren't the kind of fireworks that are launched into the sky; that kind requires an application to be submitted to the local town hall, and it will generally not be approved, unless you sponsor a large-scale fireworks display.

They are just some cold light fireworks like sparklers, which are safe and beautiful.

Although the rules are very strict, Hojo Kyosuke himself likes them very much. Otherwise, if he stayed on the shore of Atami like last night, someone would have to set off fireworks all night long and he would definitely not be able to sleep well.

In Japan, fireworks that go up into the sky are called "dashang huahuo", which means the kind that explodes when it goes up into the sky. And fireworks like fairy sticks are called "xianxiang huahuo".

Girls would find it exciting if they played with it, and Hojo Kyosuke had 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 like that. Those bastards were too careless.

Not only Eriri, Sakura, Mitsuha, and Naoko gathered around Hojo Kyosuke like little kids, looking into the box 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, as he walked towards the lake with the box in his arms, Hojo Kyosuke suddenly thought of something.

Why do I feel like I'm secretly playing with the good stuff while Hui is away?

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

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

Duang!

The big cardboard box was placed heavily on the ground, and the Teishi and Sayaka, with wet hair, also came over. This guy must have 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 Teishi also went directly into the water to catch fish.

"Wow! Hanabi!"

Sayaka cheered and ran over, squeezing next to Mitsuha who was already squatting down, and started looking for fireworks.

It could be humans’ fear of thunder, a kind of natural fire, or the sense of security that fire can bring to people, or the hope that light represents.

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

It is obviously just a small one and will go out in a minute or two. It does not have the huge noise and visual magnificence of a three-foot jade, nor the shock of burning half the sky like the Five Mountains Fire Festival. But the crackling little fairy wand can also bring endless fun.

Hojo Kyosuke stood silently by the side, watching Sakura, Mitsuha, Nozomi, Yukino, and Yukino bring their fairy wands to Eriri, light them, and then wave them excitedly.

Before she could light up the cigarette for Shiyu, the one in Eriri's hand had gone out. However, she did not allow Kasumigaoka to borrow light from others. Instead, she 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 followed Eriri's arrangements very obediently.

Hojo Kyosuke couldn't help but take out his cell phone and took a picture of the moment when Shiyu's fairy wand was lit by Eriri. Golden sparks exploded and coated the girl's face with gold.

At this moment, Shiyu's cold and beautiful face also showed a childlike and cute expression.

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

Hojo Kyosuke lit up a few fireworks that could spew fire when placed on the ground, making the lakeside even more lively. 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 all at once, which were as bright as torches. His father was standing by with his sister in his arms. The little prince stretched out his hand to take the beautiful thing 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, and 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--!!"

Prince Xiaojia kept exclaiming, his big eyes wide open.

Ichiro Hojo next to him kept shouting, "Be careful, be careful."

Hojo Kyosuke looked to the other side again, where Yotsuba and her friends were arranging various fireworks on the ground to form a circular magic circle.

Yuzuru is making a video call to his grandmother. This little guy really doesn't know how precious sleep is for the elderly! Next to him, Naoko is also holding a firework and happily talking to her grandmother.

Before he knew it, Hojo Kyosuke had already smiled like a sunflower.

He took out his cell phone and sent Hui pictures of Eriri and Kasumigaoka, and the girl replied quickly.

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