Sitting on the business car, Higashino Tsukasa can be regarded as knowing what the main industries of the Konoe family are.

The Konoe ryoka family was originally mainly engaged in the Japanese kimono industry.

And it's kind of well-known, and after careful inquiry, Higashino Tsukasa learned that the entire Aomori Prefecture had actually heard of the Konoe kimono.

The reason why Ryoka Konoe wanted to learn to draw was also because she wanted to design something new for her kimono – the so-called type of clothing design.

It's no wonder that Konoe Ryoka was average in talent and level at the time, but she has always been attached to the art department of Kita-Yoshijuku.

It seems that the Konoe Ryoka family was still a certain aristocratic family in the Edo period, but the family fell in the middle of the road, and then it was transferred to Aomori Prefecture... This didn't happen to Tsukasa Higashino.

However, it is not popular to be aristocratic or not aristocratic now, so the Konoe family relied on the old books left by their ancestors back then, and started the kimono weaving industry, with some ancient production skills, and the business of the Konoe family is getting bigger and bigger.

"Lianghua, it turns out that you are still a nobleman." Higashino Tsukasa teased Konoe Ryoka, which made Konoe Ryoka's face flush, and he could only open his mouth and cough dryly, a little speechless about this.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to come to the door with empty hands like this?" Tsukasa Higashino asked again.

I came out in too much of a hurry... No, it's not that I came out too quickly, but the special car for Konoe Tsushima came too quickly, almost like a phone call and a nearby transfer... Tsukasa Higashino hadn't taken two steps to buy some souvenirs before he turned around and came back.

This makes Higashino Tsukasa a little weird in his heart...

Could it be that this old man is actually a daughter?

Otherwise, this kind of performance is a little unreasonable.

"It's okay if you don't bring anything... Aomori Prefecture is so big, Ace, are you a specialty you bought on the spot, in fact, my father can see it at a glance..."

Konoe Ryoka seemed very unconcerned, and continued: "It's better to say, if you don't buy it in advance, but use local materials, and buy anything casually, your father will see it at a glance." That's rude. ”

"I see." Tsukasa Higashino nodded.

Since that's the case, then don't bring it without a souvenir, anyway, according to Konoe Lianghua, the old man probably won't care about this thing, and even rude... That's a bit more than worth the cost.

"Compared to that... It's almost there... Ah, A... Are you ready, okay? ”

Ryoka Konoe asked with a stammering next to her.

"Prepare what?" Tsukasa Higashino is a little weird.

I don't have any souvenirs, so what else do I need to prepare besides this?

"It's just... Don't be too nervous, you won't be able to speak clearly... Woo..."Konoe Ryoka covered her mouth, tears glistening.

She was so nervous that she accidentally bit her tongue and couldn't speak clearly.

This made Higashino Tsukasa amusement and couldn't help laughing twice.

"Y-You're still laughing!" Konoe Ryoka covered her mouth and glared at Higashino Tsukasa a little angrily: "I'm serious, Ace was so nervous when he saw my father that he couldn't speak... Don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

When she said this, she sat there sulking.

This is also one of her advantages, if she is angry, she will sit and lie down and sulk, and she will never bring her emotions to other people.

- but she really meant it this time!

You must know that this is the first time that Higashino has met his parents.

If you don't take your attitude seriously, you won't be able to say a word in front of your own father at that time...

Then I'll ignore Asi for three days!

Ryoka Konoe made up her mind in her heart, and she planned not to change this decision no matter what happened to her.

But after thinking about it, Konoe Ryoka felt that three days was too long, and her heart softened a little, so she decided to change three days to one day... And then she thought? It's all a day anyway? Then it's better to discount it again... Half a day.

Well.

It's decided.

I ignored Ah Si for a long time.

Ryoka Konoe confirmed her thoughts, and repeatedly emphasized them in her heart.

Just when she was repeating it like hypnosis? Tsukasa Higashino's voice came to my ears again: "Speaking of which, how far is it from your house?" Cool flowers? ”

"Ahh Well? I think it's about ten minutes away... Uh..."Ryoka Konoe subconsciously answered Tsukasa Higashino's question in a soft, soft voice.

But she soon realized that there was something wrong with this attitude, so she turned her head angrily? Whispered, "I—I'm not going to tell As!" ”

Maybe she wanted to show her tough side, but the voice sounded thin and soft? Doesn't sound tough? On the contrary, there is a feeling of being spoiled by people.

Konoe Ryoka obviously noticed this as well, and she hurriedly covered her mouth and looked at Higashino Tsukasa with big eyes, only to feel helpless.

I don't know what's wrong... Obviously said that he ignored Tsukasa Higashino in the last second? But listening to his voice, I always slow down my voice...

There's really no way around it.

Ryoka Konoe, who found that it was useless to find that she was angry, turned her head? Once again, he carefully stretched out his small hand to catch the palm of Higashino Division, and looked at Higashino Tsukasa with big eyes: "Ace... Anyway, don't be nervous later... Let's talk about it, and there will be no problem. ”

"yes, okay."

Ryoka Konoe is so weak, Tsukasa Higashino can't continue to tease her? Sit tight with a smile and straighten your back? Waiting to see his future father-in-law.

Seeing that Higashino Tsukasa was serious, Ryoka Konoe was also a little relieved? After holding Higashino's palm with a blushing face, she also waited for the moment when she returned to her home.

This ten minutes may be the most difficult seventeen minutes of Konoe Ryoka's short seventeen-year-old life? Tsukasa Higashino next to him couldn't see the slightest nervousness? She was so nervous that she couldn't add anything? Even his breathing was a lot shorter.

But fortunately, the car quickly arrived at its destination, and Higashino Tsukasa got out of the car with Ryoka Konoe while looking up at the building in front of him.

Perhaps because the ancestors were nobles, the Konoe family was also a standard Japanese-style building.

This covers a large area.

Listening to Konoe Ryoka explain on the road, Higashino Tsukasa also knew that this area was divided into a front yard, a back yard, and a side yard, and a pond was specially opened in it, and a small stone bridge was set up, and Konoe Tsushima raised carp in it.

I have to say that the Konoe family is indeed rich and has a strong background.

Merely... To be honest, Tsukasa Higashino doesn't really care if the Konoe family has money or not, anyway, he doesn't lack money... The purpose of Higashino's coming over this time was mainly to kidnap Kone Ryoka, and other than that, there was no other idea.

Higashino Tsukasa subconsciously took a step forward, and then heard the voice of greeting:

"Brother Si? And Sister Lianghua? ”

Rinka Konoe obviously didn't expect to be able to meet Ryoka Konoe and Tsukasa Higashino so soon.

Although she had spoken to Ryoka Konoe before, she knew that Higashino would soon come to meet with Konoe Tsushima... But who would have thought it would be so fast?

Didn't they just find a hotel in Aomori Prefecture yesterday? Why are you in such a hurry?

Many thoughts flashed through Konoe's mind, but she took the initiative to come over and say hello.

"Rinka... Why are you here...? Konoe Ryoka didn't expect to meet her cousin so soon, so she couldn't help but ask.

"I came with my father, as if I had some business to discuss... But I didn't know what was going on just now, and suddenly there was nothing wrong, so my father sent me here to wait... I didn't expect to meet Sister Lianghua. ”

Rinka Konoe replied with a smile.

Her words didn't attract the attention of Ryoka Konoe, but Tsukasa Higashino was vaguely concerned.

Have a business to discuss? And then suddenly it's okay again?

Isn't this Konoe Tsushima making way for his daughter Konoe Ryoka?

The previous hunch seemed to come true.

Konoe Tsushima seems to be really a daughter control.

Higashino couldn't help but raise his eyebrows just by listening to it, feeling that it was not good.

This kind of daughter control is basically the most difficult to deal with, to take away his beloved little padded jacket from the other party's hands... The difficulty factor is too great.

But that's just a little bit of analysis and thinking... Tsukasa Higashino shook his head, he hadn't met yet... Konoe Tsushima isn't necessarily a daughter's control.

"Brother Si, are you going to see Uncle Tsushima next?" Rinka Konoe asked curiously, standing next to her.

"Well, that's what we're here for... Just right, are you free? Can you accompany my sister? Konoe Ryoka asked.

With a familiar Konoe Rin by her side, she will feel much less pressure and tension in her heart.

"Huh...? Is this appropriate? Sister Lianghua, you're not..."

"Suitable, listen to me, Rinka. I'll say it myself on my father's side, don't worry. Ryoka Konoe grabbed Rinka's palm without saying a word.

The initiative of his cousin made Konoe Rin a little surprised... Sister Lianghua has really changed a lot, her personality used to be soft, and it was basically impossible to ask others so strongly...

"I see, Sister Lianghua."

Konoe Rinka did not refuse, nodded and agreed to accompany Konoe Ryoka in.

The three of them formed a group and walked towards Konoe's main house.

Through the guidance of Ryoka Konoe and Rin Hana Konoe, Tsukasa Higashino finally saw the person he was looking for this time in the table tennis room that Ryoka Konoe said-Konoe Tsushima.

Konoe Tsushima was a middle-aged man, with a thin face, short black hair without any signs of dyeing, eyes and a straight back, looking very energetic.

Judging from the eyebrows, Konoe Ryoka is about one or two points similar to the other party... It seems that his girlfriend hasn't inherited much of this old man's genes.

Tsukasa Higashino thought to himself, and at the same time glanced at the ball room again.

At this time, the guard Tsushima was playing table tennis with another middle-aged man who looked similar, and the difference between attack and defense was very tasteful, and the average young man felt that he really couldn't catch a few and was about to be shaved off.

"It's Rinka's father, Konoe Mato, who is playing with my father." Ryoka Konoe explained to Tsukasa Higashino.

And on the side, Konoe Rinka also kindly reminded Higashino Division: "Brother Si, maybe you don't know, but Lianghua's father likes to play table tennis with my father... His skills are very good, if Si Ge knows table tennis... Maybe you can get a sentence or two. Don't want to win, just know a little. ”

On the way, Higashino Tsukasa heard Konoe Ryoka say it, he smiled and nodded, just about to speak, and then as if he had found something, he didn't answer.

This sudden change in expression caught Konoe Rinka a little unexpected, and before she could ask something, she heard a voice in her ear...

"Will you fight?"

Ay?

Konoe Rin looked at Konoe Tsushima, who didn't know when he walked to Tsukasa Higashino's side with a racket, and was directly stunned.

She didn't expect that she was still whispering to Higashino Tsukasa on her side, and the guard Tsushima over there had already taken the initiative to come over and be caught off guard.

How will Tsukasa Higashino answer at this time...? You won't be so nervous that you can't even speak, right?

Rinka Konoe turned to look at Tsukasa Higashino.

"It's going to be a little bit."

Tsukasa Higashino's attitude was calm, and he just replied with a smile.

"Okay, then you'll be replaced... Madou, I'll have a couple of beats with this kid, you wait a minute. ”

Konoe Tsushima turned to shouting at Konoe Mato, who was wiping his sweat with a towel.

Konoe Mato was a little stunned when he heard this, and then he saw Konoe Lianghua on the other side with a nervous face, and probably understood something, so he nodded.

He took the initiative to replace him from the court, and handed the table tennis racket to Tsukasa Higashino, encouraging him with a smile.

"How does it feel? Father? Konoe Rinka took the initiative to walk up and take the towel from her father's hand and asked.

"Feeling...? Oh... I feel that your style of play against Uncle Ma today is too fierce for me to catch at all. ”

Sane Madou said this, and looked at Konoe Lianghua happily: "Lianghua, I guess it's the problem of this boy you brought, right?" Is... I was beaten up by your dad today. ”

As soon as Konoe Mato said this, it made Konoe Lianghua next to her suddenly nervous a lot, she bowed deeply to Konoe Mato to show her salute, and then looked at the table tennis table - for fear that it would not be table tennis when the time came, but that Higashino Tsushima and Konoe Tsushima would scuffle together.

Feeling the worry in Konoe Lianghua's eyes, the Konoe Madou who was replaced shook his head with a smile:

"Actually, Lianghua, you don't have to worry so much, your father doesn't really like to make things difficult for others... Now what makes me curious is how many balls your boyfriend can hold... Don't be beaten down at 11:0 by then. You'll have to hold on to a few balls at least. ”

Hearing Konoe Mato's words, Ryoka and Rin Hua didn't know how to answer, and both of them turned to look at the table tennis table.

Among them, Konoe Rinka is the most worried, she has never seen the table tennis level of Tsukasa Higashino, and subconsciously feels that the other party should not be the opponent of Konoe Tsushima.

No... Considering that Tsukasa Higashino is a genius, he may also have some accomplishments in table tennis.

As for her father, Konoe Mato... He was in no shape, and he looked at the situation in front of him happily while drinking water, and seemed very happy.

Today's Konoback Tsushima's ball path is too fierce, and he is flustered, and he thought he was going to be ravaged again, but he suddenly changed to Tsukasa Higashino... He didn't know how happy he was.

What could be more comforting than to sit back and watch someone else being ravaged?
