Pressing the doorbell outside, Rintaro and the others didn't hear any sound, but this was only because the doorbell was put in the house to take care of some elderly people, not because it was broken.

After a while, the door of the house was opened, and the grandmother who thought she had a gentle smile on her face came out of the house: "Come on, if it's to sell health products, our family doesn't need it." ”

"Grandma, it's me." Rintaro got closer to the iron gate, trying to let his grandmother, who didn't bring her eyes, see herself: "Rintaro, I'm back from summer vacation." ”

"Oops!" Grandma seemed surprised, and took out her reading glasses from her pocket in a little panic, and looked at Rintaro again, with a warmer smile on her face, and hurriedly trotted over to the door: "Rentaro, you're back!" Your grandfather and I thought you might not be back this summer. ”

"I was a little delayed for a few days because of work. Anyway, if you were willing to use the phone, I would have called you a long time ago. ”

Rintaro was a little helpless.

He took a step back and let Grandma open the door. Grandma didn't mind at all and stretched out her hands and hugged her. Because of her age, her hair is a little gray, a little thin and rickety, but her movements are not slow at all, and she hugs Rintaro who is standing at the door tightly.

"Welcome home, Rintaro. Did you eat well during your time outside? Did you encounter any difficulties? Are you still healthy? How long will you stay this time? The watermelons we grow are all ripe, half of them have been sold, and half of them are waiting for you to come back and eat them. ”

"I know, I know." Rintaro raised his hand for fear of hurting his grandmother by his actions, which made her look a little short, but no one cared about the question: "What about grandpa?" ”

"If he says so, he should be working in the field now. I just brought him food, and if I do, I should not be back until the evening. ”

Grandma ended her hug, reached out and took Rintaro's hand and walked into the house: "Come on, come on, grandma, I have a good snack." ”

"Okay, wait, wait...... Before that, I'll introduce you to grandma. Rin Taro was almost dragged directly into the house by his grandmother, and when he came back to his senses, he quickly said: "These three are friends who came from Chiba with me to play, and they are my classmates and ...... Employer, this time I am going to travel, so I came to see us first. ”

Grandma came back to her senses and looked at the three sisters who were still standing outside the wall of the house and looking curiously.

Because he was right next to his grandmother, Rintaro could clearly hear his grandmother's breathing.

After looking at the three sisters for a while, Grandma didn't make any sound. Yorai Katase has a lot of experience in life and was the first to react.

"Ah, hello grandma, I'm a friend of Rintaro, Rintaro usually helps me a lot, and this time I'm here for a trip. My name is Yori Katase, these two are my sisters, Kata......" A sunny smile appeared on Yorai Katase's face again, and it could be seen that she was very skilled.

"When we first met, my name was Hazuki Katase, and I was Rintaro's classmate. I'm usually taken care of by him.,This time I came here to visit Rintaro's elders.。 Katase Hazuki's face was also a rare smile.

"I, my name is Hoshiri Katase! Yes, it's Sakuraba-san's classmate! Meet for the first time! Hoshiri Katase seemed to be a little too nervous, and stood directly in front of the door and bowed ninety degrees.

But the one who was most frightened here was probably not Hoshiri Katase, but Grandma Sakuraba.

She looked at the three of them with her eyes wide open, and seemed to have some look of disbelief. Look at the Katase sisters, then look at their own grandson, and then look back and forth.

After a few seconds, he took Rintaro's hand and dragged him to the door of the house, whispering.

"Rin, Rintaro...... So many cute girls, so, that one is your girlfriend? ”

I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet!

No, it's better to say that there is still a lot of room for discussion in this matter itself, after all, my current situation is so complicated that it is difficult for others to understand.

Rintaro waved his hand: "No, I just said it, the three sisters are my employer and classmates. I'm now working as a tutor for Hazuki and Xingli, and their older sister, Miss Yanglai, pays me a salary. This time, they will pass by us on their trip, so they will stop by our town to have a look, and that's probably what happened. Don't overthink it. ”

"Ah...... That's a shame. ”

Rintaro could see that grandma really felt very pity.

"But I think it would be nice to be able to find a girlfriend like this if Rintaro were to do so."

"Let's not talk about it for now."

lest the two Katase sisters hear it and quarrel again.

After getting Rintaro's answer, Grandma Sakuraba came to the front of the gate again and invited the three sisters very warmly to come in.

"Ah, what a trio of charming little girls. I really didn't expect Rintaro to come home with such a beautiful girl one day. Come on in! Grandma, I have prepared delicious snacks. ”

Grandma Sakuraba is very measured and doesn't deliberately say words like "girlfriend", in order to avoid causing trouble to Rintaro's interpersonal relationships. For Rintaro who doesn't know what he's doing now, Grandma Sakuraba thinks it's better to leave it to Rintaro to deal with.

"Then we're welcome."

"Excuse me."

"Excuse me!"

The three sisters breathed a sigh of relief and came into the courtyard at the invitation of Grandma Sakuraba.

Entering the house from the main entrance, the first impression is very similar to that of Rentaro's house, but when you go up to the entrance, you will find that the layout is actually different, the most obvious is that there is an additional staircase on the right side of the entrance corridor that can go up.

"Our shop is full of tatami mats, so it's no problem to take off your shoes and step on them."

Grandma Sakuraba said with a pleasant face.

Before Katase could reply, the other words were shot out like a bullet from a machine gun.

"Do you want tea? Want a snack? Will it feel hot? I'll move the fan out. We still have a lot of watermelons at home, so I'm going to pick the one that grows the best. Rintaro, take these little girls to the living room to rest first, and leave these things to me. ”

Grandma, as if she had suddenly become dozens of years younger, happily crossed the living room and headed towards the kitchen.

Rintaro didn't even have time to stop her.

Glancing back at the three sisters.

“…… Anyway, my grandma was like that. You don't have to be too restrained, come and sit down in the living room. If she says anything strange, don't worry too much. ”

"Don't worry, it won't." Rai Katase squeezed her eyes at Rintaro.

"I feel like a very nice person to work with." Katase Hazuki also said.

"Sakuraba-san's grandmother is so nice, and I think of my grandmother too. Shouldn't I visit her during the summer vacation? Hoshiri Katase was thinking about such a question.

Hopefully nothing will happen.

Rintaro prayed.
