December 29-31, and January 1-4 of the following year.

These 7 days belong to the annual leave of the students of the elf world, also known as winter vacation, which is a statutory holiday and a holiday that must be performed.

On the morning of the 29th, after saying goodbye to Misa, Masakazu Aoki, Yume Akino, Kurosawa and other friends, Ryuichi boarded an airship bound for the Hoenn continent.

It took almost 10 hours for the airboat to land at its destination, but this time Ryuichi's destination was not Orange Hua City, which was next to his hometown, but Zijin City, which was closer to the middle of the Hoenn continent.

Annual leave is the New Year, and it must be spent with your family.

However, Ryuichi's father, Takashi Miyazaki, couldn't return to Guchen Town this year because of work, so he, his stepmother Mieko, and his sister Mayu could only come to Zijin City for the New Year.

Getting off the airship, Ryuichi hailed a taxi and observed the alternative city along the way.

Sumire is an inland city located in the plains, which is different from the cities of Orange Blossom, Hamachi, Light Red, and Yoshino that Ryuichi has visited before.

The buildings in the city look even taller, and according to taxi drivers, it is home to the largest power plant in the entire Hoenn area, supplying 35% of the area's electricity.

Because of the abundant electricity, the entire city of Zijin is almost a city that never sleeps.

The people here are obviously very good at entertaining themselves, and the city is square in shape, with a large nature park, food court, entertainment city and other facilities, and even one of the best battle towers in the Hoenn area.

Long Yi really wanted to go to this prestigious battle tower to break through, but because he had been on the phone before, his relatives at home were waiting for him to come home for dinner, so he could only temporarily suppress the impulse in his heart.

"Guest, the Purple Sumire Hotel has arrived." The taxi stopped in front of a skyscraper.

Ryuichi paid the money and got out of the car with his luggage.

The Grand Hotel is not the best hotel in the city, but it can also be ranked in the top three.

According to the living standard of the Long Yi family, they can never afford to live in such a high-end hotel. But because it is the Chinese New Year, he is more willing to spend money, so Miyazaki Takashi specially booked a luxury suite here.

This is the first time for Long Yi to stay in this kind of high-end hotel, so there is quite a bit of Grandma Liu's posture of entering the Grand View Garden, and he looks left and right curiously.

But fortunately, there was no bloody plot of the staff in the novel, and the waiter at the Zijin Hotel politely asked Long Yi's purpose, and then led him to the room.

"This is your family's room." The waiter knocked on the door.

The door opened, and it was Mieko who opened it, and it was obvious that she was a little cautious.

"Excuse me...... Yes! Ryuichi! ”

When Mieko saw Ryuichi, she immediately ran out and gave him a hug: "You're dark and thin." ”

Long Yi's face was helpless to let Mieko look left and right, his weight had increased by at least 30 pounds compared to when he entered school, and with the muscles he had cultivated from practicing swords, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't match the weight loss.

But in the eyes of his parents, he always suffers and suffers outside, not to mention that Ryuichi was first attacked by Team Rocket to attack the academy, and then the news of the shipwreck came back, which scared Mieko enough.

"Let's go in first." Long Yi hurriedly said, and then thanked the waiter on the side.

The waitress smiled in understanding and left.

Entering the house, this is a very large suite, and the decoration is also very luxurious, even if Long Yi doesn't understand this, he can see that the furniture in the room is very expensive, and the style is also very good.

"Brother!"

As soon as he entered the door, Mayu, who was originally sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, immediately ran over, and a bear pounced on Long Yi.

"Mayu, I don't miss my brother!" Long Yi said with a smile.

For this sister he really liked.

"Hmm!" Mayu nodded vigorously, and then prepared to rub Ryuichi with his fleshy face as usual.

But as soon as she leaned over, her upturned little nose twitched suddenly.

Sniff~

"My brother smells of another woman's perfume!" Mayu pouted.

Long Yi was embarrassed for a while.

He spent the last few days before the holiday with Meisha, although he hadn't completed the last step yet, but after getting along day and night, he was inevitably contaminated with the smell of Meisha.

I didn't expect it to be smelled by Mayuki.

Mieko also felt very embarrassed when she stood next to her, and hurriedly scolded: "Don't come down quickly, how old is it to let your brother hug you." ”

"Oh." Mayu reluctantly let go of her hand.

"Where's Daddy?" Long Yi asked.

"Daddy, he's still in the ruins, but he said he'd come back tonight to finish dinner with us."

The dragon has a little head.

The three of them sat down on the couch, and Ryuichi opened the suitcase and took out two prepared gifts from it.

"Here, this is a gift from my brother." Ryuichi handed one to Mayu and the other to Mieko, "This one is yours." ”

"Ahh Do I have that too? Mieko's mouth opened wide, and her expression was extremely surprised.

Long Yi smiled: "Of course. ”

He is not a complete Ryuichi, so naturally he will not have any prejudice against Mieko.

What was given to Mayu was a phone of the latest style, and a necklace was given to Mieko.

Ryuichi also prepared a gift for his father, Takashi Miyazaki, which is a razor that can even be used for a long time in harsh environments such as deserts and next door, which is very suitable for his career.

The family chatted happily for a while, most of the time it was Ryuichi talking, Mieko listening, and Mayu listened for a while before running to the side to play.

Nearly as dinner was approaching, the sound of the door being unlocked, and a raunchy middle-aged man opened the door and walked in.

Long Yi turned his head to look at his father in this life.

Takashi Miyazaki, an ordinary archaeologist, has been working on the front line of archaeology for many years.

His face was seven or eight points similar to Long Yi's, but it was obviously too old. The hair is not thick and has a lot of dust on it, and it is a little dull, but it is not very serious.

With a pair of clean-cleaned round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and a scruffy beard on his chin, he obviously couldn't take care of himself in the desert ruins.

He was wearing khaki overalls with many pockets, and he was also dusty.

"I'm back." He said, his voice a little dry.

"Welcome back, dear." Mieko hurriedly greeted him and took the coat that Takashi had taken off.

Ryuichi followed, a little nervous.

Unlike Mieko, who has an unfamiliar relationship with Ryuichi, and unlike Mayu, whose thinking is not yet mature, Takashi Miyazaki can be said to be the most familiar person in the world with the original Miyazaki Ryuichi.

Will he find out that his son has changed?

The four eyes were facing each other, and behind the transparent lenses, Long Yi saw a pair of blue eyes that were different from his own and represented wisdom.

Time, as if stopped at this moment, Mieko's voice next to her, and the sound of Mayu and Lux playing in the bedroom became blurred and far away, and Ryuichi could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

His sight was occupied by those sky-blue eyes.

"I'm back." Eventually, this illusion was shattered by a warm greeting, and the surrounding sounds rolled back like a tidal wave.

"Hmm." Long Yi didn't dare to say too much.

"It's good to be back." Takashi Miyazaki showed a hint of gloom on his face and said, "I'll go wash first, and then we'll go to dinner." ”

As the head of the family, naturally no one refuted his words.

Long Yi thought about it and took out the gift he had prepared.

"This is Abko's razor, for you...... Father. After hesitating for a moment, Long Yi finally added the title.

Takashi Miyazaki, who received the gift, was obviously very happy, with a satisfied smile on his face and a little moistness in his eyes: "Good, good." ”

Mieko on the side turned her head and secretly wiped her tears.

Ryuichi looked at this scene, suddenly smiled, and stepped forward to hug Takashi Miyazaki, his father.

"Don't do that, I'm dirty."

"It's okay." Long Yi said.
