Chapter 48: By the Sea
As I said before, every summer vacation, the family would come to his grandparents' house in the countryside to spend time, because the place where his grandparents lived was close to the sea, and it was better to be able to play in the cool sea water on a hot summer day than to stay in a stuffy room, even if the air conditioner was blowing.

After Katsuragi's sister Toka High School also started summer vacation, the family decided to start preparing to go on vacation to her grandparents' house in the countryside, and Katsuragi's manga would be serialized in Kodansha's manga in the near future.
Since the summer vacation had already started before the results of the competition, Katsuragi had drawn some more at full speed before, so he had a lot of manuscripts in reserve, and he didn't have to worry about the drafts, and it happened to be his father's turn to take a vacation, so the family was ready to come to the countryside for a vacation.
"Mom, are you okay!?" came the active voice of Liuhua in the living room, urging her mother Mari, who was preparing clothes in the upstairs room.
"Okay, okay, see you're in a hurry, let's go!" Mari, who had sorted out his things upstairs and carried a suitcase, went downstairs and said with a smile to the anxious Liuhua.
"I'm going to drive. Katsuriki's father, Katsurichi, who had already been prepared, saw that the last Mari had also been sorted out, and said to everyone, go and start the car first.
"Mom, today I'm going to the beach for a swim. Liuhua was still in the excitement of thinking that she could finally stop doing her homework and let go of playing, and said to Mari: "I'm going to go to the newly opened playground that my grandmother said, okay?"
"Absolutely. Mari first smiled and said to Liuhua, and then added: "The premise is that you finish your daily homework, and I can put it in my backpack." ”
"Hmph" Liuhua, who was very happy after hearing her mother's promise, heard the words behind her, her face stiffened obviously, and her little face fell from a happy expression to disappointment, snorted coldly, turned her head, and pretended not to hear.
"Hehe!" Katsuragi smiled gloatingly on the side, his homework had already been done, after all, he was the squad leader and the traverser, and this thing was still difficult for Katsuraki.
Liuhua, who was already a little unhappy, heard Guimu's slightly smug smile, and suddenly became angry, and shouted at Guimu: "Stinky Xiaomu, dare to laugh at me!"
Then she took her small bag with things and waved it towards Guimu, with Guimu's reaction to exercising for so many years, she immediately dodged it, and then quickly admitted her mistake: "Sister Liuhua, I didn't laugh at you!"
"Hmph, you're dead!" Liuhua ignored Katsuragi's explanation and continued to chase Katsuragi, as if he was bound to teach Katsuragi a lesson before he would give up.
"Okay" Katsuragi's sister Shihua looked at the two chasing and fighting, held it down, and said to the lesson: "Hurry up, grandparents may still be waiting for us!"
Looking at Shihua, who had a strong aura and an expressionless face, Katsura and Liuhua were honest and obediently prepared to take the car, but when Liuhua passed by Katsura, he snorted coldly and gave Katsura a look, as if to say "You wait".
Looking at Liuhua, who was still holding a grudge, Katsura smiled in his heart, he didn't care too much, he knew that with his sister's temperament, he would forget it in a short time.
Katsura helped his mother put all her luggage in the trunk of the car, then sat in the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and drove Katsura to the countryside.
It didn't take long for Katsuragi to come to the grandparents' house in the countryside, still the same as last time, Katsuragi's grandparents were waiting for them at a distance from the house, and their faces showed a happy look when they saw their car arrive.
"Whew", Guimu exhaled a sigh of relaxation after getting out of the car, he was a little motion sick, but it was not very serious, smelling the fresh air in the countryside, the discomfort of motion sickness was driven out at once.
"Xiaomu!" Katsuragi's grandmother saw Katsuragi get out of the car, shouted at Katsuragi, and beckoned him to come over.
"Grandma" Katsuragi trotted over, walked to Grandma's side, and said, "Grandma still looks so young. ”
"Nonsense, grandma is so old, where is she still young. Grandma Katsura looked at her grandson and said happily, "Come, let me see if I'm fat again!?"
"Grandma, I'm fine with this figure now, it's not good to be fat!" Looking at the white and chubby grandmother who wanted to eat by herself, Guimu said helplessly, he didn't want to be a fat person.
"Good, good. Looking at her grandson's reluctant expression, Grandma Katsura responded and said, then looked at the six flowers and ten flowers who got off the car, and said to Guimu's grandfather: "You go and help them take their luggage, and I'll go to the house to make tea for them." ”
"I'm here to help, too. Gui Mu also hurriedly said on the side, their luggage was not much, and his father and grandfather were enough to take it, so he still went into the house to help his grandmother make tea.
"Okay, let's go, Xiaomu, I have prepared a lot of snacks for you!" Hearing Katsuragi, who wanted to help, Grandma Katsuragi happily invited.
The two went to the house together to make tea and bring it out, Katsuragi's parents and sister were also sitting in the house chatting, seeing Katsuragi and his grandmother coming out with tea, Katsuragi's mother quickly got up and took it, and said to Grandma Katsuraki: "Excuse me, let me come!"
"It's okay," Katsuragi's grandmother said, put the tea on the table, and then sat down and asked Katsuraichi, "How long are you going to stay this time?"
"About two weeks, depending on the situation. Katsura thought about it and replied, after all, Katsura Mu's comics are going to be serialized recently, although the sketches have been handed over, but who knows if there will be any emergencies that need to be cooperated, and his vacation is not that long, so he will stay for two weeks at most.
"It's only been two weeks!" When Katsuragi's grandmother heard this, she thought that she had too little time, but she didn't say anything when she thought that the children had things to do and couldn't always come to accompany him, an old woman.
"There happened to be a temple fair recently, let's go and see it together!" Katsuragi's grandfather looked at the somewhat lost Grandma Katsuragi and changed the subject.
"Okay, okay!" As long as it is related to playing, Liuhua is obviously more active than others, and when he heard his grandfather's words, he was the first to reply.
"Good what's good. Looking at the excited Liuhua, Guimu's mother poured cold water on her and said, "Do your homework first, or you won't be given pocket money if you go to play." ”
Hearing her mother's words, Liuhua's little face darkened, a little lost, and suddenly her eyes turned, and she turned to Grandma Guimu and said coquettishly: "Grandma, look at Mom!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Hearing Liuhua's coquettish voice, Guimu's grandmother's heart was full, and she said to Liuhua: "Your mother won't give it, grandma will give it, and grandma will buy it for you when the time comes." ”
"Hmph" Hearing her grandmother's words, Liuhua snorted at her mother and looked at her mother, as if to say, I have a way, obviously forgetting the fear of being dominated by my mother at home.
"Mom...... You can't get used to her like that. In her mother's house, Mari, who was obviously not good at losing her temper, said to Grandma Guimu helplessly.
"It's okay, it's okay. Grandma Katsura touched Liuhua's little head and said to Mari: "Xiaoliuhua is so smart, it's nothing to play, and besides, Xiaomu is there, right? ”
Looking at Gui Mu, who was pulling himself, he wanted to spread his hands and say that he would not participate in this topic, but seeing Liuhua looking at himself fiercely, Gui Mu thought about it and helped her, and said to his mother: "Don't worry, Mom, I will help my sister do my homework when I go back." ”
"You guys are really ......" Mari looked at Katsura and Grandma Katsuragi, who were all facing Liuhua, a little helpless, and then said to Liuhua: "I'll clean you up when I get home." ”
Looking at her mother who wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, Liuhua grimaced at her mother, saying that she was not afraid, and she still had her father's support when she returned home. Looking at Liuhua's grimace, everyone laughed out loud at once.
In the afternoon, Katsuragi's family changed into swimsuits and came to the beach, Katsuragi's parents were lying on the deck chair next to them basking in the sun, Liuhua and Shihua were playing beach volleyball, Katsuragi was sitting on the beach and looking at the endless sea, Katsuragi was thinking about things.
Then he suddenly felt something hit the back of his head, lowered his head and dodged, a ball flew overhead, and there was a disappointed "sigh" from Liuhua behind him.
Looking at Liuhua who didn't hit Katsura and looked disappointed, Guimu said that he helped you in vain just now, and in a blink of an eye, he took revenge, picked up the volleyball, and threw it towards Liuhua's little head with little strength, and treated him in the way of others.
"Ah" technique is obviously much better Liuhua Guimu hit the head at once, but Guimu didn't use force, so Liuhua just screamed with some fear in his heart, feeling that the ball on his head was not very painful, and then looking at Guimu's provocative eyes, Liuhua immediately picked up the ball and continued to smash it.
Liuhua, whose accuracy needs to be improved, was blocked by Katsuraki's hand, and the ball just fell on Shihua, who was watching the excitement on the side, so Katsuraki, who wanted to be quiet, was inexplicably pulled together by his sisters to play a game of dodgeball.
