Hanazu Kudo, who walked side by side with his son, smoothly let him meet Yumi Hinata in the back house. It's not that Tomomi Hinata, who is hiding in her room and sleeping and lazy, is looking through the ledger. When she saw their mother and son coming, she didn't even close the account book, but only turned her kneeling body slightly to face the two of them.

"Sister Youmei, I haven't seen you for many years. You are still young and graceful. Shuichi Minamino, who already had a certain kinship with the other party, slowly sat down cross-legged. On the one hand, he opened his backpack and took out the gifts that he had prepared a long time ago, and on the other hand, he greeted him slightly.

"For years? Has it been that long? Should I say that you were only so tall back then, and now you have grown into an adult. It's been a few months, and you've gotten flamboyant. I heard your mother mention it a long time ago that you came back to Kyoto for the signing of your debut novel "Pedestrian". Shuichi, that's good! You have finally made your official debut in the literary world. Hinata Tomomi, who was smiling, was unceremoniously accepted the gift he gave herself.

"Thank you, Sister Yumei, for your praise. I have to keep trying, trying, trying hard. Shuichi Minamino, who didn't see Mika Hinata in the room, asked casually, "What about Mika?" ”

"She should be playing with the koi fish next to the lotus leaf pond in the yard!" Hinata, who knows her daughter's whereabouts well, replied with a smile on her face.

"Sister Youmei, then I'll go find Meijia first. I haven't seen her for so long, and I don't know if the cutie has grown taller and fatter? Nanno Shuichi, who stood up again, took a gift carefully prepared for the little guy with his own hands and said goodbye and left.

Seeing that he had left after Hinata, he looked at Hanazu Kudo, who was sitting in front of him, with a smile and said, "Your family Shuichi is getting more and more promising." In the past, he always gave people a sluggish look that couldn't lift his spirits, but now, he exudes a confident and sunny air from head to toe. Men should be like him. But, hey...... Be happy today, and don't mention the words that spoil the fun. Tonight, I'm going to be overbearing once and leave your mother and son to have dinner with our mother and daughter. ”

Kudo Hanazu knew that the long and short sigh among her was all for the sake of not being angry, and it was already the helpless sigh of the younger brother Hinata Yasu, who was already a wasted person. For this reason, I also feel that creation makes people and things impermanent. At the beginning, even she thought that Hinata Yasu's future would be extraordinary, and who would have thought that the other party would fall into today's unbearable situation.

As for his son Shuichi Minamino, Hansuzu Kudo never dreamed that he would have what he is today. My biggest expectation for him at the beginning was that his son would be able to support himself and not cause trouble to others and society. Nothing else. He never had the luxury of expecting that he would one day become an elite of Japanese society and even a pillar of the country.

"I heard from my son that he won this year's Nobel Prize in Literature. Not only is he the first writer in our history to win the prize, but he is also the youngest ever to receive the prize since its inception in 1901. Kudo Hanazu, who put away the smile on his face, and after looking back to see that there was no one, he suddenly became quite stern.

I knew by her that he was referring to Hinata's Yumi of Takeshita Kusaokei, and the two fingers of his left hand gently rubbed the temples on the side of his head, and replied without being salty: "For him, isn't this just a matter of sooner or later!" ”

"Mika is so big. Isn't it time for you to tell her the truth? After all, her father was not dead, but he was alive and well. "I don't think Mika, this kid blames poor Kudo Hanazu, a serious way.

"Are you asking me to tell Mika in person, that her father is the great writer of the National University in Japan today, the winner of a series of domestic related awards such as the Nobel Prize in Literature? When did he care about me in the first place? Could it be that you still expect him to find out his conscience? In addition to Kai Mika, he also has daughters Miyuki Kitagawa, Miyu Kitagawa Miyuki, Mina Kitagawa and Wakana Sakai, and his only son Hideki Sakai. Yumi Hinata, who stopped what she was doing, smiled bitterly.

Hanazu Kudo fully understood that she didn't mean that she didn't want to tell her daughter the truth, but that she was afraid that after suing Sù Mika, it would make the mother and daughter even more painful. Even if Takeshita grass mustard is a bowl of water for the children, it won't be much in Mika here. What's more, Hinata's status in his mind is completely inferior to Kako Kitagawa and Chie Sakai. Even if these two women don't get in the way, they may not be able to make Mika get the favor of Takeshita Kusaoke. After all, this kid still has to compete with so many people.

"Hey" Hansuzu Kudo, who made a voice, really felt that it was not easy for Yumi Hinata, and also deeply felt Mika's misfortune, after all, her biological father was an outstanding literary master, but he didn't know it. At this time, the laughter and footsteps of his son and Mika were suddenly heard from far and near, and the conversation between the two of them was over.

Mika Hinata, who was running in front, was very happy with the gift that Shuichi Minamino had given to her. When she ran into the bedroom, she went straight into her mother's arms, and kept laughing: "Mom, I want to become a great writer like Uncle Xiuyi in the future." ”

"Mika, I'm not a great writer. As for the great writers, it is natural that Mr. Takeshita Kusaoke, who is the first to recommend our country. Have you noticed that our Meijia's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to teachers. "I don't know that Mika and her teacher are father and daughter at all, and Nanno Shuichi, from beginning to end, believes that the other party is an abandoned baby adopted by Hinata Tomomi, after all, I learned this from my mother.

"Uncle Shuichi, are you true? Do I look like our National University writers? Mika Hinata, who was praised for looking like Takeshita Kusaokei, lay sideways in her mother's arms, looked at each other, and said with a happy heart.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What is the relationship between Mijia and your teacher? Don't talk about it and let outsiders hear the joke. You are now a writer and a role model for the people, and you must be cautious in everything you say and do. Hana Kudo, who suddenly became very nervous, suddenly interjected in a stiff tone with a sinking face.

understands that Shuichi Minamino is not only telling the truth, but also praising his daughter Tomomi Hinata with this, but he is relatively calm. While stroking his daughter's hair, he responded with a smile: "Shuichi, thank you for your praise of Mika." (To be continued.) )
