356. On the long road ahead, there are fireworks in full bloom

The sun has begun to set on May 3, and the moon on May 3 has not yet risen.

Yu Murakami left Y'M a little early, went home to pick up his motorcycle, and prepared to go to Higashiyama's house.

The house is quiet, Nakano Aiyi probably hasn't come back yet, and Xingxing is lying on the ground and sleeping without waking up. Murakami crept through the living room, ready to get the keys to the motorcycle.

"Wang!" Xingxing was still woken up, "Why did you come back?" ”

"Go now, you go back to sleep." Yu Murakami hastily dealt with Xingxing, who didn't wake up, and quickly slipped out of the house with the key.

Helmet and gloves on, he sat on the frame and rummaged through the information in his memory.

Minami Aoyama 4-chome, should be the address that Nana Higashiyama said at the beginning. A little further on, is the address of her home.

……

Yu Murakami kept the speed of not fast or slow to come to the courtyard of Higashiyama's house, and once again saw the door sign with the two big characters "Higashiyama" written on it.

Finding an inconspicuous place to lock up the motorcycle, he hung his helmet on the handlebars, took off his gloves, and walked to the front of the courtyard.

The last time I visited, the view was very wide, and I could see the pine trees in the garden from the front door.

Today's vision is still very wide, but there is an iron door in front of him.

Yu Murakami knocked on the door, attracting the attention of the janitor.

"What are you here for? Don't you know if this is the Higashiyama family? The janitor was naturally not affected by Yu Murakami's appearance, and asked loudly while standing behind the iron gate.

"Hello, I'm here to find Nana Higashiyama, if you can, please help me open the door."

Seeing the other side of the Higashiyama family showing in front of him, Yu Murakami also showed his polite demeanor.

"Councilor Higashiyama said that no one has been in sight for the past two days, so please go back."

Unfortunately, politeness doesn't help.

Leaving in front of the iron gate, Yu Murakami began to wonder if there was another way to enter the door without attracting the attention of the janitor.

After looking around for a while, he found a place where the shade was so thick that he didn't have to worry about covering himself when he climbed.

……

Higashiyama's father, who was sitting in the study, had already noticed Yu Murakami, and he watched without saying a word as Yu Murakami left after talking to the janitor.

Nana Higashiyama stood beside him, likewise not speaking.

"Okay, I've already agreed to what you told me before, so you don't have to stay in the study anymore. Don't you even want your father to read the book? Seeing that his daughter still didn't move, Dongshan's father asked her to leave the study.

……

Yu Murakami, who managed to climb into the courtyard, could not make the mistake of entering the house through the front door, and he went around to the back door, ready to find a window to get into.

On the grounds of the dubbing of "Swaying Camping", he successfully got the news from Nana Higashiyama's agent, saying that Nana Higashiyama was not feeling well for the past two days and was going to rest at home.

Yu Murakami made up his mind to come here to find Nana Higashiyama, not only because Nana Higashiyama had always supported him, but also because it was really unreasonable not to explain what happened to her properly.

However, the Dongshan family not only raises people, but also dogs.

Before Yu Murakami could communicate with the big dog raised by the Higashiyama family, he was exposed by the big dog by calling loudly, and then he was taken to Higashiyama's father.

"Murakami-kun, the porter should have made it clear to you, right? No matter who it is in the past two days, there will be no guests in the Dongshan family! Higashiyama's father's tone was very stern, and the first time he saw it was the kind of aggressiveness hidden under the gentleness.

"Uncle Higashiyama ......"

"Huh? What do you want to say? Dongshan's father looked at him, and there was a feeling in his tone that he would kill you if he dared to say it.

"I'm here to find Nana."

Since Yu Murakami has decided to face it head-on, he will no longer run away.

"I said earlier, Nana is not here, she has gone to play somewhere else." Dongshan's father's expression suddenly relaxed, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

"Nana isn't there?"

"That's right, no. She's out to play, is there anything else wrong? ”

"No problem, sorry to bother you, I'll take my leave."

"Stop, you don't have a problem, I have a problem." Higashiyama's father's words made Yu Murakami turn around.

"Murakami-kun, when did you start calling my daughter Nana?" Higashiyama's father's question is very detailed, so detailed that Yu Murakami doesn't know how to answer.

From the time he met Nana Higashiyama to now, he has only called Nana in front of Higashiyama's father this time.

"It started last week." As a native of Tokyo, Yu Murakami always maintains a good character.

"Started last week? Then why did Nana stay home for so long? I remember that since you moved into Sakuraso, she hasn't been home for more than two days. ”

"I had some conflicts with her, and I came to her today to solve them."

"Oh, that's good. In that case, the visitor is a guest, so let's stay here for dinner today. Higashiyama's father couldn't help but say something, so he decided on Yu Murakami's dinner.

He hadn't had time to ask Ai Nakano for leave.

Knowing that this meal was suspected of a Hongmen banquet, Yu Murakami still acquiesced.

Maybe Dongshan's father locked up his daughter and didn't let her see him?

It's not impossible.

……

Following Higashiyama's father to the restaurant, Yu Murakami found that the interior of the house was very elegantly decorated. The last time I came, I just talked to Dongshan's father, and I didn't observe carefully, but this time I walked a much longer road, and naturally I saw a lot.

The dishes in the restaurant are not very rich, and they are roughly in the category of home-cooked food. Higashiyama's father instructed the people around him something, then sat down slowly and looked at Yu Murakami.

"You may be seated, Murakami-kun." Higashiyama's father raised his hand and signaled, "There is one more thing, after Nana went on a trip outside, her cousin happened to have come to Tokyo to play in the past two days, so she borrowed it to live here." Dining with her, Murakami-kun, you shouldn't mind. ”

"Don't mind, it's up to you." Now that he has decided to eat this meal, Yu Murakami naturally won't make any other trouble.

It didn't take long for the two who were waiting to see the cousin that Higashiyama's father said about Nana Higashiyama.

"Nao, this is Murakami-kun, you shouldn't mind dining with him." Higashiyama's father called out a name that Yu Murakami had forgotten for a long time.

"Nao?" He looked at Dongshan's father.

"Yes, her name is Nao Higashiyama. Any questions? Higashiyama's father turned to Yu Murakami.

"No problem."

"Ah, you're what my sister said about Murakami...... Mulberry? It's as handsome as she said! The girl in front of her came from a distance, so that Yu Murakami couldn't see it clearly.

When he got closer, he found that the contours of the other party's facial features were almost exactly the same as Nana Higashiyama, and even his voice was as bad as ten. The only difference is that the other party has medium-length hair that is close to a shawl, which is far from Nana Higashiyama's ball.

He even wore a pair of glasses.

"Hello, I'm Yu Murakami." Out of politeness, Murakami put aside the doubts in his heart and said hello.

"My wife is not at home today, so the three of us will eat together, since everyone is here, then don't be restrained, let's start."

Yu Murakami nodded, looking at the girl who had puzzled him.

The other party was also staring at him.

He had to look away.

"Murakami-kun, can you explain to me in detail what has happened in the past few days? Why did my daughter come home so uncharacteristically for so long? ”

Sure enough, Dongshan's father began to throw out his questions.

"That's right, I announced on social media on Tuesday that I was dating a wonderful girl, which may have had an impact on Nana." Yu Murakami didn't hide anything and said the truth bluntly.

He has already understood that whether it is Higashiyama's father in front of him or Nao Higashiyama, it is very likely that Nana Higashiyama is the channel of communication with him, and if he is still hiding in front of them, then there is no point in communication.

"Choosing to date a girl? Does that have anything to do with Nana? Do you still like Nana? Higashiyama's father frowned and asked another question that gave Murakami Yu a headache.

"Yes, I still like Nana." Yu Murakami can only tell the truth, otherwise let the other party's father convey the message that he no longer likes Nana Higashiyama, I'm afraid there will be no room for turning around.

He noticed that the girl sitting across from him shivered slightly, and then continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

Higashiyama's father stopped what he was doing, and his tone was serious: "Murakami-kun, do you understand what you mean by saying such a thing?" ”

"I understand."

"If I had just written down your words and handed them over to the media, I believe that tomorrow you would be entangled in all kinds of complicated affairs. I do this as a father, you can understand. ”

"I can understand that I don't have anything to say if you want to."

"That's good, I don't want to tear my face with you because of this. However, please Murakami-kun take back the sentence you just said. ”

"I'm sorry, Uncle Higashiyama, I'm sorry that my words have caused Nana and you as a father so much trouble. I'm not going to take it back, though. ”

"Why?"

"Because I like Nana, I'm not going to let go."

"Murakami-kun, you know you said this in front of a father, right?"

"I know, but I still have to say."

"How long do you want to spoil my daughter!" Dongshan's father finally couldn't help it, regardless of the demeanor of the councilor, stood up and slapped the table hard.

The cutlery on the table all shakes to varying degrees.

Of course, Yu Murakami understands what it would happen to say such things in front of any father, but he must say it.

"Uncle Higashiyama, I will give Nana happiness, and only I can give Nana happiness."

Yu Murakami's expression also became extremely serious, and he looked at Higashiyama's father.

The atmosphere in the restaurant became intolerant of any other people.

Nao Higashiyama looked up at Higashiyama's father: "Uncle, Murakami-san is a guest after all, so he doesn't have to do this during dinner." ”

Higashiyama's father looked at her and sat down.

"After eating, let Nao take you to get something, which Nana left for you. Then, leave immediately, you are not welcome at the Dongshan family! After calming down for a while, Higashiyama's father said the last words during the meal.

It should be considered an ultimatum.

……

After the meal, the tableware is naturally cleaned up.

Yu Murakami followed Nao Higashiyama to Nana Higashiyama's room.

"Higashiyama...... Nao ...... Mulberry? Yu Murakami called tentatively.

"What's the matter? Murakami-san? Nao Higashiyama in front of him didn't turn around.

"Can I ask a question?"

"Please."

"Your name ......"

"My name? Any questions? ”

"Did Nana say anything about your name?"

"Ah, my sister told me. said that before writing the song, I used my name to create an ideal handsome image, and I strongly protested to her at that time. What's wrong? ”

"Nothing." Murakami stopped talking.

Coming to Nana Higashiyama's room, Nao Higashiyama opened the door, picked up a letter from the desk, and handed it to Yu Murakami.

"Murakami-san, this is a letter left by my sister for you."

Yu Murakami closed the door with his hand and took the letter.

Taking out the letter, he saw a sentence.

"Murakami-kun, you don't owe me the money you got from buying the parrot."

Putting down the letter paper, pulling out the chair in front of the desk and sitting down, Yu Murakami suddenly laughed.

"Murakami-san?"

"Nothing."

"Now that you've read the letter, it's time to leave as your uncle said." Nao Higashiyama turned around and prepared to go out, only to find that the door had been locked.

A strong force came from her waist, and she was pulled to her lap by Yu Murakami.

"Murakami-san, please respect yourself!"

The girl in front of her gave a warning, and Yu Murakami turned her 90 degrees, facing him.

"Nana, how long do you want to pretend?" Yu Murakami looked into the eyes of the girl in front of him.

"What Nana, I'm not a sister! Let me go, or I'll go tell my uncle!" ”

"I let you go, who will let me go?"

The girl in front of her stopped struggling.

After a long time, she asked, "How did you find out, Murakami-kun?" ”

"How did you find out?"

"Hmm."

"I know your voice, I know the way you look, I know everything about you. How can the time in Sakuraso be spent in vain? ”

"Suzune, how are they doing now?"

"Except for Mizurai-san and Nakano, who may still have some problems, I've convinced everyone else."

"Murakami-kun, do you know how I spent the past six days?"

"Do you want to say?"

"I ...... Let's not talk about it. Nana Higashiyama faced him and smiled, "At least you're here, aren't you?" ”

Yu Murakami raised his hand to remove the eyes on the bridge of Nana Higashiyama's nose, and said, "You see, after wearing these glasses, I am not as cute and beautiful as before, and I look a little old." ”

"Blame who!" Nana Higashiyama hit Yu Murakami's thigh hard, but she suffered from pain.

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurts! It's all your fault! ”

"Does it still hurt then?" Yu Murakami suddenly got close to Nana Higashiyama's face and kissed it.

A hint of surprise flashed in Nana Higashiyama's eyes, but she responded to Yu Murakami without hesitation.

After a long time, the two disconnected.

"Does it still hurt?"

"After a while, it's easy to feel pain-free."

"Huh?"

"Although Murakami-kun makes me very dissatisfied, but ...... It's okay. ”

"What?"

"The Dongshan family can continue."

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose thinking jumped in front of him, he couldn't keep up, and Yu Murakami didn't know what to say.

"What's next?" Nana Higashiyama's big eyes lit up with excitement.

"What to do?"

"My father put me under house arrest and couldn't get out. Murakami-kun, can you take me out? ”

"Yes."

"What do you mean?"

"Yes." Yu Murakami replied as quickly as he could, "That'...... How? ”

"Get out of the window." Nana Higashiyama pointed to the window of her room, revealing a familiar smile from Yu Murakami.

The smile of the little devil.

"Window jumping or window climbing?" He pretended to be stupid, "I'm fine, can you?" ”

"You're carrying me!" Nana Higashiyama puffed out her cheeks at him, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Carefully carrying Nana Higashiyama, Yu Murakami opened the large window in the room and jumped down.

All that was left was the locked door and the lights still on.

"Run, Murakami-kun!" Nana Higashiyama suddenly raised her voice, startling Yuu Murakami.

"Nana, what should I do if I attract people with such a loud voice!"

"It's okay, if you attract it, if my father locks the two of us here, I can't wait for it." Nana Higashiyama was lying on Yuu Murakami's back and suddenly laughed.

Yu Murakami can feel the warmth behind him.

"Then we'll run...... Let's do it! ”

With the help of "Body Transformation LV.4", Yu Murakami easily escaped from under the noses of the already alarmed duty officer and climbed over the wall.

In front of him was a locked motorcycle.

Dongshan's father watched the commotion in the courtyard in the study, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Okay, the wicked man let me do it, and then it's up to Nana yourself." ”

"Murakami-kun, where are we going next?"

"I'll send you back to Sakuraso, and then I'll go find Nakano."

"Hey, I haven't eaten enough tonight, why don't you make me something to eat?"

"Next time, definitely."

"Murakami-kun!"

"Hold on, let's go!" Yu Murakami, who was on a motorcycle, commanded Nana Higashiyama behind him.

"Ahh The motorcycle started and left, leaving only Nana Higashiyama's screams.

……

On the way back to Sakuraso, Nana Higashiyama hugged Yu Murakami's waist tightly, just as she had once exerted.

It's just that it feels more real now.

"Murakami-kun, is it so fun to ride a motorcycle? I'm going to try it in the future! ”

"Then you can go to Shui Lai Sang to learn, and when you learn well, let's go out on a motorcycle together!"

"No, you can teach me!" Nana Higashiyama raised her voice again.

The hot wind blew through, shattering her voice.

"Dongshan, why did you cut your hair?"

"Didn't you call me Nana? Why did it change back to Dongshan again? ”

"Answer my question!"

"Summer is so hot, I want to have a fresh start!"

She said a sentence that didn't make the first half and the second half of the sentence don't make sense.

Yu Murakami understood.

"Murakami-kun, why are there so many fewer people on the road today?"

At the moment, the time is only eight o'clock in the evening, and there are many fewer people.

"I don't know."

Suddenly there was a sound in the distance, and the dark sky brightened.

Nana Higashiyama looked up, her hair growing in disarray from the hot wind.

Fireworks are in full bloom in the night sky of Tokyo.

"Murakami-kun, look at the fireworks in the sky!"

"What's wrong?"

"There are so few people on the road because of the fireworks display, and the fireworks display has begun!"

It turned out to be a fireworks display, and it was naturally indispensable in Tokyo in May.

"Murakami-kun, have you heard of the legend of the fireworks festival?"

"What legend?"

"People who hold hands in the fireworks festival can be destined for a lifetime!"

"Really?"

"Murakami-kun, let's go watch the fireworks display in a few days, with Suzune and Aiyi."

The motorcycle came to a section of road without light.

Nana Higashiyama's face was shining brightly in the sky.

"Let's wait two days, it's not sure yet!" Murakami replied.

He had some difficulty distinguishing Nana Higashiyama's small voice in the wind.

With no one around, the motorcycle was guided by the fireworks towards the dark road ahead.

Nana Higashiyama took a deep breath and put her hands in a trumpet shape and put them to her mouth.

"Murakami-kun!"

"I like you!"

Fireworks rose in the sky again, showing themselves in their most perfect appearance.

"I hear you." Yu Murakami smiled.

He's not the hero of those light novels that writers write and will miss important words.

"Dongshan, I like you too." It's not loud, but it's enough to follow the wind for Nana Higashiyama to hear.

The fireworks in the sky bloomed again.

This time, it's not beautiful, it's bright.

It's like a light in the dark, a lighthouse in the sea.

So that he can see the road in front of him.

On the road ahead, there are fireworks in full bloom.

PS: This chapter is one of the few times it was written in one go, and overall, I think I'm quite satisfied. I hope that the first half of this chapter will not become a poisonous point, and the second half will allow book friends to see a lively and beautiful Nana.
