Chapter 5: Fatigue

Previous Chapter

On the way home, Yueshi went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, and it will be late after work today, so she will prepare dinner.

It's an unspoken rule in the house - be considerate of the person who is more tired during the day. Ji Zhi shoulders the burden of supporting his family and works outside, so of course, the work at home is taken care of by Yueshi.

"I'm back."??

Obviously, there would be no one at home, but she still habitually said hello.

Turning on the light at the entrance, Tsukishi went upstairs to his room to change out of his school uniform, put his phone on the bedside to charge, and then went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

“…… I am back. ”

When Kiyuki came back, Tsukishi hadn't finished dinner yet, after all, the hamburger meat still needed some time to make.

"Welcome back."

So he put down what he was doing for the time being, and went to the entrance to help his father get his bag, and Yueshi said, "Dad will rest first, and dinner will be completed soon." ”

After she finished speaking, she was about to return to the kitchen, but she heard her father's somewhat bitter voice:

"Tsukishi."

She looked back: "What? ”

"You're looking more and more like your mom." Ji Zhi looked at his daughter and sighed with some emotion, as time went by, Yueshi became more similar to his wife.

"Yes...... Is that ......."

I became like a mother.

"Looks and personalities, they are all similar, just now I thought your mother was back again."

Noriyuki sat on the sofa and didn't speak, and Tsukimi also became silent, and neither of them spoke again until dinner.

"How's going at school, you seem to have made friends."

"Well, but I don't know if it's a friend."

"Well, just cherish it."

Talk, that's the end of it.

The next thing Tsukishi had to do was to prepare dinner until the stubborn hamburger meat was gone.

The exchange at dinner was also a bit dull.

“…… Hamburger meat, delicious. ”

"Thank you."

Ji Zhi's attitude today is a little strange, like something in his throat that he wants to say to Yueshi but can't say it.

Looks like we'll have to open up the situation ourselves...... Is it?

Yueshi thought silently.

"--Daddy is going on a date with Mr. Noda this week."

She lowered her head and concentrated on cutting the flesh with her knife, as if she were talking casually.

“…… Ahem, ahem! Appointment, dating......"

Ji Zhi was drinking water, and suddenly heard his daughter come coldly, and this sentence almost squirted out in one gulp.

"Because you didn't go out yesterday or the day before yesterday."

Yueshi still didn't look up.

"When did you know...... You? ”

"When? Eh......" Yueshi looked up at the sky, and then pretended to be suddenly enlightened and smiled kindly at Ji Zhi.

"Didn't my father get drunk a few months ago?"

"Drunken ......"

Kiyuki suddenly fell silent.

"And then she kept pestering me and saying, 'Miss Noda is really nice, cute and talented.'"

Yueshi imitated the drunken appearance of Ji Zhi and lowered his voice, but how to listen to it felt was the tone of an idiot uncle.

"'I didn't think about dating Ms. Noda, but...... Noda really ......' kept repeating the words that Noda-sensei was cute, and the stupid look of the fool in love made her daughter vomit. ”

It turned out that he was so out of shape when he was drunk. Ji Zhi rarely drinks alcohol, but that time he drank a lot.

"But even so, the relationship ......"

"Photos." Tsukimi interrupted him: "That day, you took out an intimate photo with Noda-sensei from your wallet and showed it off in front of me. ”

Ji Zhi suddenly found that the tall and upright father figure that he had always maintained in his life had collapsed when he didn't know it, and he covered his forehead with a headache, and he could only sigh.

"So, in the face of a daughter who knows everything, there is nothing to hide."

Tsukimi put down his knife and fork and waited in his seat for a few seconds.

But Ji Zhi still didn't speak.

“…… I'm full. ”

Standing up with some dissatisfaction, she gathered up her plates and cutlery, ready to be sent to the pool.

And at this time, Ji Zhi said with some difficulty: "...... I'm going to marry Noda Qiong. ”

"Married?"

Tsukimi felt that it seemed to be taken for granted when he heard the news, and he was not surprised at all: "Noda-sensei is indeed very cute and beautiful, and she is feminine."

She added:

"Dad, you have to cherish it. There is no need to hesitate at all for this kind of thing, and there is no need to tell me otherwise. ”

Kiyuki knew that she would accept anything, because Tsukimi had been considerate of him and her mother since she was a child.

Children who are too sensible can't be completely reassured.

"Today, Dad, you're going to wash the dishes."

Yueshi left this sentence before going upstairs.

After taking a shower and hurriedly finishing her homework, she picked up her phone and wanted to update the novel, but she couldn't type.

"Obviously, today, I have already made a draft."

I wrote manuscripts at school, and then I can easily solve them by typing them out again according to my own memory.

She used to do this when she wasn't inspired, and it worked very well.

"Forget it today."

Trembling fingers can't write anything.

……

……

Yuki came to school very early, and she used to sit in the classroom when there were few people and leave when everyone was gone. Although this habit has been broken for a while, it has been restored again after coming to Sakakai Middle School.

Probably because there are no people who need to be with them.

"Mori Xia ......"

Passing by the door of the first class of the third year, Yuki stopped.

Yesterday this time Inoue Tsukimi had already arrived at class, and the routine of that somewhat strange girl was very similar to herself.

"Well, maybe not today."

I put my hand on the doorknob of the previous class and tried to pull it open to the side, easily opening a gap.

The door was not locked.

Then she continued to pull away.

Inoue Tsukimi has indeed arrived in the classroom. The black-haired girl lay on the table with her eyes closed, apparently asleep, she slept deeply, so she was not woken up by Yuki.

“…… I always feel that this picture is a bit familiar. ”

Yuki, too, had the experience of sleeping alone in a classroom to death.

At Tsukishi's feet, the manuscript paper was scattered all over the ground, and Yuki walked over to pick it up for her.

Something was written on it, and although it wasn't good to casually read what others had written, she glanced at it out of curiosity.

The handwriting is very beautiful, unlike what girls write, but it feels like a kind of grandfather's shot, and it is very skilled. Yuki doesn't know calligraphy, but if he wants to write such characters, Tsukishi must have spent a long time in it.

"Novels?"

It's indeed a novel, yes, Inoue Tsuki is really writing novels. And it feels surprisingly good.

I didn't see the previous chapters, but Yuki was still able to barely see the plot.

It's just an ordinary girl's love story, but many of the scenes that appear in it are very familiar.

"The place she showed me yesterday."

Yuki discovers that the background prototype of Tsukimi's novel is this school.

The protagonist of the novel is a cheerful and popular beautiful girl.,Belongs to the type of campus idol.,But there's a dark idea hidden in the heart.,The name is a contradictory individual named Riko Sakamoto.。

If there is such a person in reality, then it must be tired.

Caught in some strange thoughts, so she was interrupted by someone else's voice.

"Matsuhashi-san?"

The moon is awake.

She was looking at Yuki, her eyes still a little unopenable: "That's ...... My stuff. ”
