Kiyono's mother gets the belt that Toru Watanabe has prepared, and Kujo's mother is her daughter's bathing agent.

Both were satisfied.

Next, everyone divides the cake baked by Mother Kiyono and eats the fried chicken made by Mother Kujo.

In addition, there is a wide variety of food.

Roast suckling pig, sausages, ham, stew, stew, steak, lamb chops, pork chops;

mashed potatoes, chips, ketchup, puff pastry, ice cream, salad, various puddings, various fruit pies;

roast duck, fried buns, spring rolls, dumplings, puffs, biscuits;

Kaiseki cuisine in Kyoto, takoyaki in Osaka, seafood in Hokkaido, grilled eel in Nagoya, sushi in Tokyo, soba noodles in Nagano, fugu in Kyushu......

All of these things, surrounded by a large golden roast turkey, filled the long table.

"Watanabe-kun, how about fried chicken? I haven't done this in a long time. Kujo's mother asked.

Toru Watanabe dipped in a hot sauce with fried chicken and ate a large bite.

"Honestly?" In a tentative tone, he asked the four people present.

"Say, what's there to be polite with me?" Kujo's mother said with a smile.

"Compared to me, it's still a bit of a gap."

"Watanabe-kun knows how to cook?" Kiyono's mother is dipping a sliced roast suckling pig in sugar.

In this scene, Toru Watanabe remembered the North Uji Bridge, and during a school trip, in the Uji River, Rin Kiyono said that he ate it with roast suckling pig dipped in sugar.

"I won't." "I worked at a supermarket near Nishi-Shinjuku Station and was in charge of the delicatessen section," he said. ”

"Deli area?"

"Well, it's mainly oden, all kinds of fried things, and fried chicken. Working five days a week, Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends, I am responsible for the time period, and the transaction volume of the delicatessen area far exceeds that of other periods, and it is not too much to say that it is the little prince of the delicatessen area. ”

"So powerful? I want to try it! Kujo's mother said expectantly.

"It's useless, the boss has never given me an hourly wage increase."

"In addition to these, what other jobs did Watanabe-kun have?" Kiyono's mother asked curiously.

"Less nonsense." Rin Kiyono and his mother spoke at the same time.

"What nonsense?" Toru Watanabe was not happy, "Kiyono-san, which sentence did I lie?" ”

Rin Kiyono put down the apple pie in her hand.

She said calmly first: "Playing smart all day long." ”

Then, point out the truth: "You also just have a good face." ”

"Guess?" Toru Watanabe asked.

"Is it wrong?" Rin Kiyono asked rhetorically.

"I'm so handsome, no matter what I do, I will inevitably be affected."

"Use your brain to think about serious things, and don't think about lying in various ways all day long." Rin Kiyono said unceremoniously.

"Everyone has their own situation, and with my intelligence, even serious things can be handled easily, so there is a lot of time to relax the brain."

"Clever? In front of me? ”

"No. 1 in the country." Toru Watanabe puffed up the reindeer's chest.

"Measuring whether a person is smart or not by grades has proven that you are not smart enough, and moreover, narrow-minded."

"Amazing, while my head is not good, I also denied my gaze, this is doubling the dedication?"

Rin Kiyono put his hand to his lips to hide his smile.

At this time, Kiyono's mother's voice came, also with a smile:

"You two stop arguing. Watanabe-kun, did you hear what I just said? ”

Oops - the word popped up in Toru Watanabe's head.

Sure enough, in the afterglow of his vision, Kujou Mihime was also looking at him with his afterglow.

The two looked at each other.

What she meant was: I'll clean you up later.

"I've held billboards in addition to supermarkets, but that kind of work has to pay for a part-time company, and it's very hard, and I won't do it unless I'm short of money or for some other reason."

"I thought you only had Rin in your eyes when you heard my question." Kiyono's mother pretended to be surprised.

Kujo Mihime was bored eating the peeled king crab legs, and under the table, she stepped on Toru Watanabe's feet as if nothing had happened.

Grinding hard.

The reindeer suit is really a good thing, thick enough.

Toru Watanabe only felt that Miki Kujou was giving him a massage.

By the way, find a chance to let Miss Kujou-sama give him a massage.

Toru Watanabe's face pretended to endure pain.

"Watanabe-kun," Kujo's mother asked curiously, "can you tell us about your family?" ”

"My family is in a normal situation." Toru Watanabe continued the topic, "A remote village, very poor. ”

"How poor is very poor?" There was no malice in Kiyono's mother's tone, pure curiosity.

"Hmm-" Watanabe thought for a moment, "in front of each house, they split their own firewood to the eaves. ”

"It's very vivid." Kiyono's mother said with a smile.

"After all, it's hard not to have a rich imagination when you think about things that aren't serious all day long."

Rin Kiyono, who was roasting a suckling pig with chopsticks, gave him a blank look.

"Honey." Kujou Miki pulls out the flesh of a crab leg and makes a pose to feed Toru Watanabe.

"Thank you, sweetheart." Toru Watanabe opened his mouth.

Kujo Mihime eats the crab leg meat herself.

“......”

The two mothers laughed.

Toru Watanabe ate a strawberry the size of a baby's fist and continued:

"But now there is less firewood, and if you don't pay attention, there are animals nesting on it."

They listened quietly to Toru Watanabe.

"What animal?" Miki Kujou asked.

"Sometimes it's a bird, sometimes it's a snake."

"Snakes?" Kiyono's mother was a little scared.

"Yes. I saw snakes lay eggs, and then my father asked the villagers for a cat, and the cat slept on the firewood all day, and the birds, the snakes, were all gone. ”

Toru Watanabe ate another strawberry.

Kujou Miki picked up the wine and asked, "Tell me about your father." ”

"Do you want to say this at Christmas?" Toru Watanabe looked around at the people present.

"Compared to the inappropriate things you think about all day, this is very serious." Rin Kiyono wanted to eat the steak, and Kujo's mother brought her the plate, and she softly thanked her.

The top-quality steak is fried into five ripe strips, cut into long strips and topped with a special sauce.

"My father...... Very ordinary person. Toru Watanabe had a father figure in his mind.

"He didn't care about the economy, he didn't care who the prime minister was, and the only thing he could boast about in his life was when he was young, when he rode a motorcycle to Mount Fuji."

"Climb Mt. Fuji?"

"Well, that was when he was in high school." Toru Watanabe nodded, "Later, the Yamaha motorcycle that he was afraid of being stolen even when he fell asleep was also sold after marrying my mother and replaced it with a Honda Wolf that was convenient for shipping. ”

"Amazing father."

Toru Watanabe nodded, shook his head again, and said with a smile:

"No matter where the father is, it's like that."

"What about your mother?" Rin Kiyono wiped her lips with a napkin that she had just eaten a steak.

"My mother is more ordinary, and there doesn't seem to be anything to show off other than me. But then again," Toru Watanabe laughed, "climbing Mt. Fuji on a motorcycle isn't much to brag about. ”

"A parent's greatest pride is always his child." Kiyono's mother looked at her daughter's eyes with pride and sadness.

"Mei Ji has also suffered a lot, come, mother feeds you." Kujo's mother pinched a piece of special mackerel sushi in her hand.

Kujou Miki picked up the plate and motioned for her to put it on it.

"Kujou's mother, Aunt Kiyono, Mihime and Kiyono-san are indeed very good, but it's not my conceit, whether it's music, sports, or grades, they are not my opponents."

"What did you say?" Queen Kujou Mihime looked over, "Say it again?" ”

"Watch your words, Toru Watanabe-san." Kiyono God's awe-inspiring gaze shot over.

"Music?" Kujo's mother remembered and said, "By the way, Watanabe-kun is a very good oboe, why don't you blow it to us as a Christmas event?" ”

"I've heard about it, too." Kiyono's mother looked at Toru Watanabe expectantly.

'Kujo Mama, Kiyono Mama, you're all my mom! ’

Ignoring the fierce eyes of the two beautiful girls, Toru Watanabe said to the two wives:

"Of course, I would love to!"

Kiyono's mother recruits a servant and asks her to go to the instrument room to fetch an oboe.

When the servant was about to leave, she called out to her again: "By the way, take two more trumpets." ”

"Yes."

"Aunt Kiyono is going to blow it too?"

"Of course you young people blew it to us."

"Mei Ji also learns trumpets?" Toru Watanabe asked Miki Kujo curiously.

"I've also learned percussion," Miki Kujou said with a smile, "Would you like to try it?" ”

“...... By all means, if you are free. ”

The servant brought musical instruments.

The granddaughters of two Santa Claus, a cute stag, blow, blow.

The trumpet was originally a solo instrument with a loud sound, but Rin Kiyono and Miki Kujo were not humble to each other.

Coupled with Toru Watanabe, who shook his head and played the oboe as a suona, the sound was a mess.

But it's a Christmas party atmosphere.

It was lively and blew to the happy place, and Kujo's mother sang in Italian, with a gorgeous, crisp and high-pitched high voice;

Toru Watanabe changes the rhythm to match her.

After Kujo's mother finished singing, Kiyono's mother sang jazz again in a contralto.

After this, Miki Kujo was forced by her mother to sing Seiko Matsuda;

Rin Kiyono sings;

It was Toru Watanabe's turn, and as soon as he spoke, the four of them asked him to continue playing the oboe.

The atmosphere is lively, bursts of joyful and happy laughter resounded through the vast living room, and the branches of the 10-meter-high Christmas tree were shuttled and whirled.

Kujo mother and daughter sing songs together, and Rin Kiyono blows the trumpet accompaniment.

"The roast suckling pig is gone." Kiyono's mother said suddenly.

Instead of a whole suckling pig on the table, the suckling pig is sliced and plated, and a few of the tastiest parts are taken.

"Watanabe-kun," Kiyono's mother stood up, "excuse me." ”

"Okay." Although it was strange why the maid was not allowed to bring it up, Toru Watanabe still stood up.

One after the other, the two left the living room and walked into the kitchen.

Without letting the chef slice it, Kiyono's mother put on gloves and did it herself.

Toru Watanabe serves a plate at the end of the plate.

The knife cuts through the golden roasted pork skin, making a crunchy sound, and the knife surface is gradually stained with a layer of shiny grease.

Just listening to this sound made Toru Watanabe want to eat.

Kiyono's mother cut it while arranging it, and said in her mouth:

"Watanabe-kun, how's your relationship with Rin going?"

"Sort of a friend." Toru Watanabe looked at the roast suckling pig and wondered what was the best place for it.

"Friends, Rin, you should know a lot."

"Hmm." Toru Watanabe put away his appetite and waited quietly for her next words.

"Watanabe-kun, since that incident, you're Rin's only friend, and I want you to help her."

"Help her?"

"She can't lie about it."

"Do you think this is bad?"

"What do you think? Is it good, or is it bad? ”

Toru Watanabe looked at Kiyono's mother, who was obviously a noble wife, but she was very skilled in slicing the suckling pig with a knife.

"I think it's okay anyway." He said, "I told Kiyono-san that I would be her friend forever. ”

"No one can stay with someone who can see through a lie." Mother Kiyono continues to cut the suckling pig.

Toru Watanabe was about to say something, but Kiyono's mother interrupted him and spoke before him:

"You're young now, you've only known each other for less than a year, because of the novelty, because she's beautiful, so you don't feel anything, wait a few years, wait for you to be twenty, thirty, can you guarantee that you can still stay by her side?"

"Then I should get used to it." Toru Watanabe said with a smile.

Kiyono's mother looked up at him and said jokingly, "What if you run halfway?" ”

"Halfway through?"

"It's not mandatory, of course you can leave her at any time."

"I see what you mean: you can't expect others to accommodate her, you have to let her change herself?"

"If it can be like this, of course it will be the best, whether it is for Rin himself or for the Kiyono family."

The suckling pig is framed, and its limbs are in a position that it cannot and absolutely does not want to pose on its own.

It's pathetic.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Kiyono." Toru Watanabe said, "I just said 'it's okay anyway,' but it's not true, it should be - as long as it's Kiyono-san's own decision, it's fine." ”

"Watanabe-kun."

Kiyono's mother put a slice of roast suckling pig on the plate in Toru Watanabe's hand and looked him in the eye.

"You like my daughter?"

“...... Well?! Toru Watanabe was taken aback, "Why are you asking this?" I'm in a relationship with Mei Ji. ”

"Since you don't plan to help Rin change, in order not to leave her alone, I have to let you even if you can't bear it, you can't run, you can only continue to get used to her."

“......”

"Scared?" Kiyono's mother laughed, like a prank adult teasing a child, "I won't force you, do you want to make up your mind while you like Rin very much right now and can tolerate her shortcomings?" You can give me all the rest of the rest. ”

The phrase 'leave it all to me', Toru Watanabe didn't know if she was hinting at the Kujo family, or if the day when he couldn't stand Rin Kiyono would make it impossible for him to escape.

After a moment of silence, Toru Watanabe said, "I ......"

"Are there any crabs? is so stingy, just put that little bit, my Mei Ji is not enough to eat. With a little complaint, a little laughter, and the sound of an instrument melody, Mother Kujo walked in.

"The crab is cold, and it's not good for girls to eat too much." Kiyono's mother responded with a smile, turned her head again, and said to Toru Watanabe, "Watanabe-kun, you too, whether you eat too much, your stomach will feel uncomfortable if you eat too much." ”

"Oh, good."

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Kujo's mother smiled and scolded, "Watanabe-kun, isn't it just that you have money so that you can eat what you want when you want to eat?" ”

"Watanabe-kun doesn't have any money, and if you have money, you have to protect your body." Kiyono's mother said.

"My son, who said there was no money?" Mother Kujo picked up a slice of roast suckling pig from Watanabe's plate.

The crispy crust is crushed and makes a crisp sound.

"I'm not married yet, and you're too anxious to be a mother-in-law." Kiyono's mother said with a smile.

Kujo's mother didn't reply to her, and while eating roast suckling pig, she said to Toru Watanabe:

"Watanabe-kun, in the future, it doesn't matter if you want to buy a luxury car, buy a yacht, eat any delicious food, and wear expensive clothes."

“...... Oh. ”

"But, when it comes to women, you can only have one Meiji." Kujo's mother said with a smile.

She and Mei Ji look very similar, so much so that when Toru Watanabe saw that smile and groan, he had a conditioned reflex in his heart.

"Of course." He assured.

"You're lying to me, aren't you?"

"How so?"

"Watanabe-kun, I'm not the head of the Kujo family, nor the mother of Kujo, I'm just an ordinary person - it doesn't matter if you treat me as a sister or friend, I'm talking to you like this, don't be burdened."

"You are indeed very young, if it weren't for Mei Ji's boyfriend, I would have thought you were only twenty years old when I saw you."

"This kid is really good at talking, but it's also thanks to you."

"No, you're young."

"Watanabe-kun, the Kujo family will not do anything to be sorry for you, let you enjoy life to the fullest, and you must also promise me that you will never do anything sorry for Mei Ji in the future."

"When, of course."

Kujo's mother pinched a slice of roast suckling pig and handed it to Toru Watanabe's mouth.

"Holding a plate, you can only look at it, you can't eat it, it's pitiful, I'll feed you, ah-"

"Auntie, Kujo's mother ......" Watanabe leaned back.

"Stop making a fuss." Kiyono's mother took off her gloves and said with a smile, "Hurry up and bring it back." ”

"Okay, I'll go first."

Toru Watanabe hurried out of the kitchen.

Kujo's mother put the roast suckling pig in her mouth in her hand.

"Well, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, but unfortunately, it's just too greasy."

"Didn't you come to get crabs for Meige? There was something in the tank that had just arrived. ”

"Let the chef steam it." Kujo's mother said, "However, you are too much, that is the husband of my family's Mihime." ”

"He's also Rin's only friend."

"Then it can't be helped." Kujou's mother took a sip of the grease on her fingers and said indifferently, "It's only war." ”

"Ah, I'm so confident, I won't lose to you."

Kujou's mother reached out and pinched Kiyono's mother's belly:

"Just your little belly?"

“...... I don't have a stomach at all standing up! Also, you haven't had it recently, right?! ”
