9 Beauty
Whew, Kyosuke Hojo breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't care about it, but since seeing the connection between the nursery rhyme "Narrative Poem of the Monster" in their class and Nishinomiya Glass, who has a hearing impairment and is regarded as a weird by his classmates, Hojo is worried about whether the nursery rhyme in Sakura's class will also be a mess of cannibalistic nursery rhymes.
He knows how dark neon nursery rhymes are, and there are all kinds of deformed horror stories.
""Red Dragonfly", it's good, it can be regarded as a real nursery rhyme in neon nursery rhymes."
"Kyosuke, you say something you don't understand, it's all because you read so many books, doesn't that make me look like I'm a fool?"
"Sakura, haven't you always been a fool?"
"Add a beauty to the back!"
"Stupid beauty? Where did this nickname come from? ”
"Don't you approve of it! Aren't there such things as nicknames? I'll give it to myself, and then you call it, isn't that a recognized nickname? ”
"Alright, stupid beauty, have you learned Red Dragonfly?"
"Of course, my mother taught me to sing this song since I was a child."
"Also, Aunt Maki looks like the kind of person who can sing nursery rhymes to lull her to sleep, unlike my mother."
"Huh? What happened to Aunt Mijiko? Didn't she sing nursery rhymes to you when you were a kid? ”
"Not at all, in fact, compared to you, that woman is more in line with the name of stupid beauty."
"Hahahaha, is it really good for you to say that Aunt Mei Jizi?"
"As long as you don't tell her no."
"Haha! Then I've got you covered! I'm going to eat double yam ice cream tomorrow! ”
"Okay, then run an extra 500 meters for your morning run."
"I was wrong, please forgive me, Kyosuke-sama."
Sakura Yamauchi immediately ran in front of Kyosuke Hojo and put his hands together on his head.
"Alright, if your class wins the choir competition this time, I'll make you a drink that's better than Coke."
Sakura Yamauchi's emotions came and went faster, and the switch was even more incomprehensible, and now she struck a victory pose.
With one hand on his waist and one finger pointing at Kyosuke Hojo, Sakura Yamauchi announced loudly.
"Then you just wait to lose!"
"Okay, okay, let's go home quickly, Aunt Maki should be in a hurry."
"Oops! Why is it so late, run, Kyosuke! ”
After speaking, Sakura Yamauchi took the lead in running, and compared to the thin body, the schoolbag that looked extremely large and the ponytail swayed from side to side, and Kyosuke Hojo was very worried that she would fall down by the schoolbag.
"What are you doing! Hurry up and keep up! ”
Seeing that Kyosuke Hojo was still walking slowly, Sakura Yamauchi turned around and took his hand and ran together, just like Kyosuke Hojo did when he pulled her at the beginning.
The two quickly ran to Yamauchi Sakura's house, and after a brief goodbye, Hojo Kyosuke took two steps forward and returned to his home.
It is very common for two families to build a one-family house, separated only by an alley.
"I'm back."
"Kyosuke is back, and I have beef from your father from my hometown to eat today."
"Why, is it a cow that broke its foot again? Or depression? ”
"Giggles"
Mikiko Hojo, who was still busy in the kitchen, laughed out loud when she heard this.
"Kyosuke, how can you say that."
"Isn't it? Every time you say you want to eat beef, Dad will always make the cow in the family empathetic and sick. ”
"I hate it, how can you say that about Mom, Mom is so sad."
Mikiko Hojo turned around and looked at Kyosuke Hojo with disgust.
It was a beautiful face that seemed to have not been patronized by the years, and the figure was completely unrecognizable as the mother of a twelve-year-old child, like a high school girl. Of course, the actual age is in his thirties.
"When I go to junior high school next year, you can go back to your hometown in Hokkaido to find your father."
Kyosuke Hojo walks into the kitchen and prepares to make a vegetable salad, the mother he calls a stupid beauty, who basically doesn't know anything about home cooking except for being able to handle beef.
When his father, Ichiro Hojo, was not captured by his grandfather to inherit the family's ranch, his father was the househusband, and his mother went out to work.
Although my grandfather did not restrict my father's freedom after he returned, my father learned that his old grandfather was already weak in managing the ranch, so he stayed in his hometown to help his grandfather run the ranch together.
Father Hojo Ichiro originally planned to go back with the whole family, but was rejected by his mother because Hojo Kyosuke was already in the fourth grade, and transferring to another school was not conducive to growth.
Then my mother, who had lived as an eldest lady since childhood, stayed in Watergate, a small place located at the northeastern tip of Kanagawa, Tokyo, and began to raise her son alone. My grandmother wanted to help, or she simply wanted her grandparents to come and help, but my mother refused.
"This is my son's precious childhood, how can I share it with others."
This stupid beautiful mother said this handsomely, and then stumbled to learn how to be a housewife from scratch.
Fortunately, when he was in the fourth grade, Kyosuke Hojo was already able to do most of the housework, and even the meals he cooked every day when he came back from school, and by the way, he prepared his mother's lunch the next day.
The only thing his mother has learned over the years is to handle beef, because his father, who is far away in Hokkaido, is worried that his wife and children will be hungry, so he will send beef over the years, even if it is not the season when the cattle are slaughtered.
After many times, when the beef was sent over, Mikiko Hojo asked him what was going on, and Ichiro Hojo would find all kinds of magical excuses such as the cow running and not wanting to live, the cow suffering from depression and not wanting to live, and the cow falling out of love and not wanting to live.
Kyosuke Hojo sometimes worries about whether his father will be beaten by his grandfather, after all, the family's ranch is not big, and he should not be able to afford his father's construction, but so far he has not received a distress message from his father.
It is also the careful care of the father and son for Mikiko Hojo that allows her to maintain her girlish innocence at an age when other housewives are worried about the shortcomings of their parents.
Hearing her son's words, Mikiko Hojo didn't care about cutting beef, and hurriedly turned to look at Kyosuke Hojo and said.
"Huh? Kyosuke, didn't you say that we'd go back to Hokkaido together when you graduate from elementary school? ”
"Isn't it good for you and your father to go to the world of two for some special reasons?"
"What a two-person world, aren't your grandparents and relatives over there?"
"It seems that it is, anyway, I will take care of myself, you can go back to accompany my father."
"No, if you stay here alone, Mom, I'll be so worried that I can't sleep in distant Hokkaido."
"What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried about whether you're going to go hungry......"
Mikiko Hojo paused before she finished speaking, and then looked at the vegetable salad that was almost finished in Kyosuke Hojo's hand, and a wry smile appeared on her face.
"Anyway, I just don't worry! Even if you don't go hungry, what if you meet a bad guy? ”
"I can protect myself, and I have a reason to stay here."
"Tell me first what reason you have, is it because of Sakura-chan?"
Encountering this kind of relationship problem with her own son, Mikiko Hojo immediately forgot about her son's concern about her son living alone, and began to gossip instead.
“……”
How did this stupid mother suddenly become so sharp? Kyosuke Hojo had a bit of a headache, and then frantically thought about how to convince his mother.
Did you tell her that there are two system-certified heroines and a lot of supporting characters here who are still waiting to get their rewards?
Nonsense, of course not.
"Haha, I said yes!"
Mikiko Hojo said happily.
"In that case, how about we bring the Sakura family to Hokkaido, let your grandfather's ranch hire Mr. Yamauchi, and then you can continue to be classmates in Hokkaido."
Hearing his mother's words, Kyosuke Hojo lowered his head and thought carefully about the feasibility of this plan. If it was really possible, he would not refuse, after all, it was too difficult to convince his parents to let him live alone as a 12-year-old. Who said that the ability to make money is not his ability, as long as he can achieve the goal.
"Mother, what if it's more than Sakura?"
Kyosuke Hojo said tentatively.
"Kyosuke! Do you know what you're talking about? ”
Mikiko Hojo was shocked when she heard her son's words.
"Ha, haha, I'm kidding. This topic will be discussed later. ”
Hojo laughed dryly.
The mother and son finished eating, and then it was time to go to bed.
