Saturday, Sendagi, bachelor apartment.

Although he didn't need to go to school, Kyosuke Hojo set an alarm clock and woke up early. I'm going to hang out with Glass and Yuzuru today, and I won't have time to train in the evening, so I'll have to move my training to the morning.

While others get listless in the afternoon if they do a lot of exercise in the morning, Hojo Kyosuke doesn't have that problem at all.

Thanks to the "talent", although the training will make him tired at the time, the talent that is further developed will make him stronger, and the two cancel out, and it can be said that the more you practice, the more energetic you become.

At the end of the training, feeling the sense of strength that continued to emerge from all parts of his body, Kyosuke Hojo drank a large glass of fruit and vegetable juice comfortably.

Wash up and have breakfast. Wear a white shirt with black slacks to bring out your tall figure perfectly.

When I came downstairs, Tomoji Katagiri was already waiting there.

He came to be a driver, and originally Kyosuke Hojo was going to ride a motorcycle to Watergate City to pick up Yuzuru, but it suddenly occurred to Yuzuru that Yuzuru was only a fourth-grade child, and riding a bicycle was not a good choice for both rules and safety reasons.

Kyosuke Hojo, who thought of this before going to bed last night, hurriedly "placed an order" in the chat room of the rampaging angel, looking for a tool man with a car and a driver's license. Tomoji Katagiri grabbed the order quickly.

"Good morning, chief." Seeing Kyosuke Hojo, Tomoji Katagiri immediately bowed and said hello.

"Katagiri, how many times have you said it, don't be so serious, just call me by my name."

"Okay, Chief." Katagiri Tomoji's face was still serious, but his voice could clearly tell that he was joking.

"Haha, you guy. It's hard to trouble you on the weekend. ”

"Where, it would be nice to be able to help the chief."

"If you need help with anything in the future, just let me know."

Kyosuke Hojo didn't take the help of these men for granted, even though he had provided them with shelter in some sense.

"If you can, I hope the chief can also come to Kaijiu to guide our kendo club." Tomoji Katagiri replied quickly.

"Haha, you're waiting for me here." Kyosuke Hojo smiled and patted the strong man beside him who was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile:

"No problem at all, I'll spend two days next week in Ikebukuro to mentor you."

"Thank you, Chief."

"By the way, Katagiri are you also going to participate in the national competition?" Kyosuke Hojo asked.

"Yes, last year, during the first round of qualifiers for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, I was unlucky enough to run into Tojo High School, and was easily defeated by Brother Maki and Ghost Blast. This year, Dongcheng will definitely be stronger with the guidance of the general manager, but even if you can't qualify for a long time, you must take a few steps forward! ”

Tomoji Katagiri said hatefully, it seems that being out of the first round last year hit him hard.

"Hahaha, that's a tragedy." Kyosuke Hojo said with a smile that with the strength of Higashijo, whether it is an individual competition or a team competition, it should be considered invincible in Tokyo.

"So I'm all up to you, chief!"

"Don't worry, as long as you don't meet Dongcheng again, I guarantee that you can go to the end of the preselection."

While talking, the two walked side by side to the underground parking lot, Tomoji Katagiri was not a rich second generation, and the car was borrowed from a part-time repair shop.

"Looks pretty good."

When I came to the place, I saw a silver-white Mitsubishi SUV.

"It's the boss's car, I lent it to me after I told him."

Tomoji Katagiri didn't wait for Kyosuke Hojo to reach out and helped him open the co-pilot's door in advance.

"Shall we fill the tank when we get back?" Getting in the car, Kyosuke Hojo fastens his seat belt.

"No, it's less than 50 kilometers back and forth, and you don't need much oil at all." Tomoji Katagiri started the car as he spoke.

"Okay, the address and send it to you, pay attention to driving carefully!"

There are no words along the way, and the twenty-kilometer journey is in a flash.

In front of the apartment building of the Glass House is the largest river in Pratunam City, and you can go directly downstairs by turning left after crossing the bridge.

Press the corresponding floor number on the building intercom.

"Hello, this is the Nishinomiya family." A lively, somewhat boyish girlish voice came out.

"Yuzuru, I'm downstairs." Kyosuke Hojo said with a smile.

"Oooh, I'll open the door right away." Nishinomiya Yuzuru, who was on the other side of the walkie-talkie, heard Kyosuke Hojo's voice and immediately said happily.

"Katagiri, please wait a little longer." Turning his head and explaining, Kyosuke Hojo walked into the unit door.

"Brother Kyosuke!"

As soon as Kyosuke Hojo walked to the rest platform between the sixth and seventh floors, an excited voice came from above. When I looked up, it was Nishinomiya Yuzuru.

Unlike Glass, who was forcibly taken by Nishinomiya Yaeko to cut her hair short, Yuzuru cut her hair short by herself after hearing her mother say to be strong. After that, although Glass had grown long hair, Yuzuru still retained a half-length hairstyle.

"Yo, Yuzuru." Seeing the energetic Yuzuru, Kyosuke Hojo also smiled.

"Why did you come, I've been waiting for a long time." While shouting, Yuzuru ran directly down the stairs and hugged Kyosuke Hojo.

"Be careful, you can't run down the stairs."

Catching Yuzuru, Kyosuke Hojo lifted her up. Yuzuru, who had just entered the fourth grade, was now only up to his waist, and a little girl at this age was the most well-behaved and endearing.

Yuzuru, who was lifted up, immediately laughed happily, she missed it for so long not seeing Kyosuke Hojo.

"Alright Yuzuru, let's let Kyosuke in first."

While the two were playing, Nishinomiya Yaeko also walked to the door, stretched out half of her body and said with a smile.

"Good morning, Aunt Nishinomiya." Kyosuke Hojo hurriedly said hello.

"Come on in."

Nishinomiya Yaeko was still smiling, and the seriousness of the past seemed to have disappeared.

"Excuse me."

Entering the door, Kyosuke Hojo habitually wanted to find the slippers he wore when he was in elementary school.

"Wear this, Kyosuke-san."

Yuzuru, who entered the door first, took out a new pair of slippers and placed them in front of Kyosuke Hojo.

"Mom said that you must have grown up a lot in middle school, so I went ahead and bought new slippers,"

"Then you're welcome."

Hearing this, Kyosuke Hojo's heart warmed, and he raised his head to look at Nishinomiya mother and son and smiled.

"Why isn't Grandma at home?"

Sitting on the sofa, taking a sip of the water handed by Nishinomiya Yaeko, Hojo Kyosuke looked around and asked.

"Mother, she went to the senior club to play, and today it seems that there is a goalball game."

At the mention of her mother, the smile on Nishinomiya Yaeko's face softened a little. In the past, in order to take care of Glass and Yuzuru, who dropped out of school, my mother basically didn't have any time for herself, and her health was deteriorating.

But after having Kyosuke Hojo, Glass became no different from ordinary people, and Yuzuru also lived a normal school life. The mother was liberated and was able to enjoy her old age peacefully.

"Oh, that's good. If you exercise more, your grandmother will definitely be able to live a long life. Kyosuke Hojo nodded.

"Brother Kyosuke, how are we going to get to Tokyo later?"

Yuzuru asked impatiently, as when Kyosuke Hojo was talking to her mother just now, she had already quickly changed her clothes. A white hooded sweatshirt and a pair of black sweatpants, standing with Kyosuke Hojo like brothers.

"A friend of mine drove us over, and he's waiting downstairs right now." After Hojo Kyosuke finished speaking, he drank the water in the cup in one gulp and stood up.

"Since your friends are still waiting, let's go." Nishinomiya Yaeko said.

"Yes, yes, let's go, Brother Kyosuke." Yuzuru pulled Kyosuke Hojo's sleeve and dragged him to the door.

"Aunt Nishinomiya, then we'll go first, tonight Yuzuru will let her rest at the glass, and I'll be responsible for sending her back tomorrow." Kyosuke Hojo said as he changed his shoes.

"Kyosuke is still as reliable as ever."

Nishinomiya Yaeko leaned against the wall and looked at the two of them, one big and one small, smiling.

"Then we're going."

After saying goodbye, Yuzuru pulled Kyosuke Hojo and trotted downstairs.

Seeing the car of several people go away, Yaeko Nishinomiya turned on the TV, and she was about to start enjoying her long-lost vacation.

"Katagiri, go to this place again."

Kyosuke Hojo sent the address of Sakurara Yamauchi's house, and it was rare to come back once, so how could he not visit it.

"Okay, Chief."

"Brother Kyosuke, why does this big brother call you the chief?" Yuzuru, who was sitting in the back row, asked curiously.

"Well, it's like you're called Glass Sauce, it's a term that signifies closeness." Kyosuke Hojo said stiffly.

"Oh, then I'll call you Chief in the future!"

"Hahahaha."

Before Kyosuke Hojo could speak, Tomoji Katagiri, who was driving, was already laughing.

"That's not good, it's a name that can only be used among men, Yuzuru, you might as well call me brother."

In less than ten minutes, several people came to Yamauchi Sakura's house.

Although he is already a middle and high-level in the company, Mr. Yamauchi on Saturday is still working hard in the company, and there is only Maki Yamauchi at home.

After a brief greeting, hearing that Hojo Kyosuke and they were still rushing back to Tokyo, Yamauchi Maki just asked Hojo Kyosuke to bring Yamauchi Sakura a few clothes to wear during the change of season, and then the few of them set off again.
