"But it's too far from my house." Standing in the courtyard, looking at the three-story mansion behind her, Ying Lili frowned, and her small mouth was unwillingly dripping.

"Haha, it only takes more than ten minutes to get to your house on a motorcycle, whether it is to go to school or to your house, it is very convenient, and we can also go to have a supper on the way."

Looking at the windows of those rooms, Kyosuke Hojo began to calculate the amount of time it would take to do hygiene. That's right, the two are now in the mansion that covered an area of 400 square meters before. Unlike Shisaki, who got the information from the real estate house, Eiriri's father knew the owner of the house directly.

Not only the owner of this house, but even the same exaggerated villa for sale in front of him, Mr. Spencer also knew the owner.

Behind the house that Kyosuke Hojo has his eye on, there are three one-family buildings like triplets, but the three of them together will only be the size of his house. He originally thought that this house with a forest was exaggerated enough, but he didn't expect that there was a villa with a small football field in the yard in front of him. Looking at the small houses around me, I can't help but feel the unevenness of the world.

"There are a lot of shops around here." Ying Lili rubbed her chin and began to recall:

"But there are too many rooms in this house, why do you need so many rooms?"

If you have a study room and a studio, it's good if you share one.,Kyosuke writes next to him when he paints.。 It also seems like a good idea to use the sound of him tapping on the keyboard as a background sound, which also makes it easier for me to perform my job as a comic assistant.

In the other room, you can use one as a cloakroom, wear casual clothes when you paint, and when you are tired, you can directly change into clothes for going out, and the two of you go out together to check in the nearby shops one by one. Maybe I'll be able to draw another comic book called "The Food Journey of the Manga Assistant and Her Manga Artist".

That's right, a house can be dedicated to the periphery of two people's works, and you can play some childish games in cos costumes......

"Well, as I said before, I have a lot of people in my family. Soon they will come to Tokyo for the graduation ceremony. When the time comes, you can also come to the house to play, my mother has wanted to see you for a long time. Kyosuke Hojo said with a smile.

"See, see, meet the parents!?" Ying Li turned around and blushed: "What are you doing to yourself, I'm just your comic assistant, why did you come to see your mother." ”

What should I do, will Kyosuke's mother think I'm a bad girl with dyed hair? I heard that people in Hokkaido are very xenophobic, will British blood be hated?

No, at this time, you have to go back and ask your mother for advice!

"My family won't be here until March." Kyosuke Hojo directly ignored Eriri's textbook tsundere.

Whew~~ Then it's still time to customize clothes, but is it better to wear a skirt or a kimono? In neon, it's better to wear a kimono at this time, right?

Ying Li Li breathed a sigh of relief and turned to other troubles.

In the end, the two ate eel rice with roasted birds at a cazakaya next to the residential street, which can become a high-end residential street, in addition to the fact that there are enough dead celebrities, but also because of the large number of schools. And in this kind of place, there is no shortage of shopping streets.

Early the next morning, Kyosuke Hojo came to the house for the third time, and this time standing next to him was Kasumigaoka Shiha.

For this house, the most satisfying person may not be Kyosuke Hojo, but the senior sister in front of him who carefully counts the literati who have lived nearby and died.

In the living room, she held a large map in her hand, covered with red circles. Kyosuke Hojo walked over and took a look, and it was all kindergartens, elementary schools, and hospitals. Looking at Senior Sister Shiyu with a satisfied face, he suddenly tightened.

"Kyosuke, have you ever been to Mr. Natsume's cemetery?"

"Nope." It's not like you're going to find any drops, so what are you going to do in that kind of place?

"Then let's go and have a look." Kasumigaoka Shiwa excitedly grabbed Kyosuke Hojo's arm, both of them are writers, this kind of place is simply perfect for living. And with so many rooms, there is no need to buy another house when you have children in the future.

"Okay, there's a sushi restaurant in front of the cemetery, where we can have lunch."

And in the afternoon, Kyosuke Hojo led Sakura Yamauchi directly to the side of the house.

"Shinkoso, Fukushouso, Seifuso......"

Sakura looked at the name of the nearby manor on the mobile phone map, turned his head and asked curiously, "Kyosuke, what name are you going to give the house?" ”

"Name?" Kyosuke Hojo, who had just opened the door of the house, scratched his head, didn't he embarrass him: "Hojo's family? ”

"Oh~~ So the people who live in it are all from the Hojo family, right?" Sakura teased with a wicked smile on his face, and with his little hands behind his back, he walked in behind Kyosuke Hojo.

"Because isn't that how everyone's watch books (house numbers) are written?"

"Hehe, I'll just trust you."

January is the coldest time of the year in Tokyo, and Sakura wears a thick blue down jacket with bare legs instead of a neon girl, but the same cotton pants as Kyosuke Hojo.

After taking a turn in place, I looked at the elegant Japanese-style room, the reddish-brown solid wood staircase, and finally Sakura set her eyes on the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Kyosuke, do you remember?" The girl's bright yellow cat-like eyes seemed to be shining.

"Well, of course."

Kyosuke Hojo stepped forward and stood side by side with Sakura, one big and one small, their hands naturally pulled together.

Sakura pursed her mouth, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and leaned her head over.

Watching TV with my mother, the young Sakura who knew "marriage" for the first time, knew "couple", and knew "home". I didn't have time to understand the deep meaning of this, so I ran out of the house in indoor slippers, rushed into Hojo's house, and directly unscrewed the door and threw myself into the arms of young Hojo Kyosuke, who was also watching TV.

"Stupid Sakura, I'm going to be crushed by you!" Hojo Kyosuke said this, and hurriedly stretched out two hands to hug Sakura, worried that she would fall and fall on her head.

"Nana, Kyosuke, will we also have our own home in the future?" Ignoring the muttering of the people under him, he straddled him steadily, and Sakura asked this question with glowing eyes.

"Home?" Kyosuke Hojo was asked for a while.

"Allah, is Sakurara already thinking about the future?" Mikiko Hojo, who was preparing snacks in the kitchen, said with a smile, and then walked out with a plate of strawberries.

"Hmm!" Sakura nodded vigorously.

"But isn't this Kyosuke's home? In the future, if Sakura Ryoshi marries Kyosuke, this will be your home. Mikiko Hojo teased.

"Uh-huh~" Sakura shook his head vigorously: "This is Aunt Mijiko's home, and everyone will have their own home when they grow up." ”

"Well, that's Kyosuke's home with Kyosuke, and Sakurara has Sakurara's home, right?"

Looking at the serious and cute appearance of the little girl, the evil-eyed aunt continued.

"No, no, of course Kyosuke and I are a family!" Sakura said solemnly.

"Of course we'll have our own home." Speechlessly, he glanced at his mother, and Kyosuke Hojo rubbed Sakura's head with two pigtails.

"Really?" Sakura reconfirmed.

"Of course! Sakura and my home. Kyosuke Hojo said seriously.

"Will there be a hide-and-seek forest at home?"

"Yes, it's full of oaks, cedars, and pines, and I'll make you a log cabin when the time comes."

"Wow! Do we camp together in it at night? ”

"No, of course I'm sleeping in the house, and Sakura is on guard in the cabin."

"Okay, I'll definitely protect Kyosuke well!" Sakura nodded earnestly.

……

The childhood vision for the future is slowly coming true, and looking at the trees in the garden that can clearly recognize the species, Sakura's little face is full of happy smiles.

Kyosuke Hojo, who has been remembering since he was a child, is also immersed in memories, feeling that leaning on his little head, he moved his arm and planned to hug the girl who was his childhood sweetheart.

"Kyosuke has prepared so many rooms, is it going to let Glass and Naoka live in together, right?"

…… Someone makes a move, so the ancients often taught us that if life is unsatisfactory, everything will be constant. Things have developed like this, and he needs to worry about whether the room is enough to live in, and he often reflects on it, and finally can only sigh helplessly. In this world, no one can move forward exactly according to their own wishes, and accidents are always inevitable.

"Of course, how happy it will be for everyone to go to school together." Kyosuke Hojo nodded.

Kyosuke, this stupid!

Sakura sighed angrily and helplessly, greedy guy. It's still cuter to be the Kyosuke who only played with me when I was a child.

Seeing that the girl beside him hadn't spoken for a long time, Kyosuke Hojo was a little apprehensive.

"Sakura ......"

"So how much rent is Kyosuke going to charge?" Sakura raised her head and asked playfully.

"Huh? What is the rent? How can I possibly collect your rent. Kyosuke Hojo was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.

"No, you have to pay the rent! If you pay the rent, it's like I'm raising Kyosuke.,Kyosuke, didn't you say when you were a child that your dream was to be raised by a rich woman? ”

"How can what the child said be taken seriously, and why do you remember what happened at that time, Sakura, it's good to remember it in the wrong place." Someone denied it, but he was about to take over the super mansion with his own ability.

"I remember everything related to Kyosuke, such as wetting the bed on Kyosuke's first birthday......"

"Stop, stop, you were still in Kyoto at that time!"

"Aunt Mijiko told me! She also said......"

"1,000 yen, 1,000 yen a year!"

"Hey, hey." Sakura smiled evilly and nodded in satisfaction.

Then the two of them continued to visit the house, not accompanied by the real estate house, because Kyosuke Hojo had already entered the purchase process.

"Let me introduce you—"

Reaching the corner of the kitchen, Kyosuke Hojo bowed and pointed to a small door with walnut handrails.

"No, is it really what I thought?" Sakurara's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief as she covered her small mouth.

"That's right!"

"Food delivery elevator!

Sakura grabbed the armrest and pulled it out, revealing a space that could only fit a case of drinks.

"Haha, I was taken aback when I saw it." Seeing Sakurara's surprised appearance, Kyosuke Hojo was satisfied.

I don't remember what cartoon it was.,When the two of them watched it together when they were children, they were greedy for the dining ladder that could directly transport food from the first floor to the bedroom.,I didn't expect this strange mansion to have this design.。 Of course, even if there isn't, Kyosuke Hojo will find a way to add it when he transforms it later.

"Does it really work?" Sakura couldn't wait to ask, seeing him like that, I'm afraid that I'll want to try it myself.

"Of course." But it's not really delivered to the room, it's just to the same location on the second and third floors, that is, at the end of the corridor.

Kyosuke Hojo opened a storage cabinet on the top of the kitchen, revealing a bag of honey-flavored potato chips inside what should have been empty. Sakura immediately understood and ran to the second floor.

After putting the potato chips into the elevator and pressing the switch, Kyosuke Hojo also ran to the second floor. How could he not share such a historic moment with Sakura.

At the end of the corridor on the second floor, Sakura crouched there, staring intently at the light on the small door.

"Ah, Kyosuke Kyosuke, it's really here!" The blue lights came on, and Sakura shouted happily.

Opening the glass of the window, looking at the maple trees below that had lost their leaves, and the evergreen trees that were still verdant, the two quietly ate potato chips and enjoyed the joy of their dreams coming true.

Sakura didn't ask Kyosuke Hojo if he had any difficulties in buying a house, because every time the other party signed a contract, he would share his joy with her as soon as possible, telling her how many things they could buy together in the future, and where they could go to play. Then let her try to think about what she wanted.

"Shelter is a container for life"

This is what Aunt Mijiko taught Kyosuke, and he often talks about it. This is also the reason why their family never thought of selling the house, although they basically did not live in Pratunam City.

In the future, Kyosuke and I will definitely be able to create more memories.

The house was handed over before the start of school, and this mansion is located at the intersection of Bunkyo and Toshima Wards, No. 7 Mebaidai 3-chome 25, covering an area of more than 400 square meters, with a construction area of 200 square meters, and a mansion of 350 million yen after tax became the property of Kyosuke Hojo.

"The author of "The Devotion of Suspect X", a cutting-edge reasoner, and the most favorable contender for this year's Naoki Award; Cartoonist who has been ranked first on the annual comic best-selling list for two consecutive years; rejected early admission to the University of Tokyo; Won the winning ...... of the National Kendo Competition for two consecutive years"

The documents filled with Hojo's information were placed on a low table, and a woman sat there looking at them carefully. Her hair is meticulously coiled behind her head with a hairpin, and even if she is the only one in the room, she is wearing a green "Shino Land" kimono with a family crest printed on the back.

The woman's name is Mie under the snow, and the information in her hand was reported by the real estate house under the real estate company under the snow. A set of materials that had been in the hands of the company for so many years was finally sold, and it was still the full amount. Such a buyer will naturally be reported to the superior.

After reading the information, Mie under the snow held a white folding fan and gently tapped her chin, her cyan eyes thoughtful. Her husband is rich, and the offspring only has two daughters, and it is a foregone conclusion to recruit a son-in-law. The eldest daughter has already entered college, and this kind of thing should be planned early.

……

The last semester of the third year of junior high school began, and Kyosuke Hojo, who didn't have to worry about studying at all, focused most of his energy on the renovation of the house. The matter about Yukino and Sanye was put on hold by him for the time being.,The two didn't disappear from the earth.。

Yukino Hyakuri must have been in Tokyo, and he was sure that the two would meet sometime and place. And Miyasui Sanye has already learned from Mitsuhashi Yoshima's sister that Miyasui Mitsuha will come to Tokyo to study at university, and when the time comes, just go directly to the school to find her.

And last week, when Kyosuke Hojo followed Samisaki around, he also saw Miyagizu's father, Miyasui Toshiki, once. After collecting information, I found out that the other party had become the head of the Special Disaster Division of the Tokyo Fire Department, and his place of residence was in Bunkyo Ward.

In terms of learning, the final shortcomings of the liberal arts class have been made up for by the talent given to him by Miki, and there is no reason why the Chinese language is still poor.

The decoration of the house is mainly sound insulation and warmth.

It's convenient to have more people in the bedroom, but the soundproofing is a big problem, and he doesn't want to do something in the room and everyone will know about it the next day. Not to mention the sound insulation of the studio specifications, you must also get it right.

There are so many wide floor-to-ceiling windows, which are good-looking, but the heat loss is too serious, and the windows are all replaced with triple glazing. Only the hall on the first floor of the original house was covered with a thin layer of gas floor heating, and no heating measures were installed elsewhere, and I don't know if the original air conditioner was demolished or what.

Yes, neon people will also be cold, as long as the middle class and above the family will install floor heating. It is only because of the load-bearing nature of wooden houses that dry underfloor heating, which is generally called bed warming, will only be installed in places such as the living room and dining room.

As for the girls on the road with their legs exposed, it is difficult for outsiders to judge whether they are cold or not. Anyway, according to Hojo Kyosuke, Sakura felt cold. But maybe it's because he's been taking Sakura with him since he was a child, and he wraps the two of them tightly every winter.

However, it is only a short outdoor distance whether it is cold or not, and large buildings such as trains and schools are air-conditioned.

It's just that after Kyosuke Hojo said that he had purchased a set of Toshiba's central air conditioning with floor heating module, the person in charge of the decoration company was slightly surprised.

】

"Isn't it good to have a kotatsu in winter?"

This was made up by his own brain, how could the person in charge who knew how to read the air say such a thing, just nodded and said that he would hand over to the other side.

In addition, there is the bathroom in the bedroom, and based on various considerations, he decided to install a bathroom in every room. In fact, he also struggled for a while, whether to install an ultra-luxurious bathroom in his room, so that there should be a lot more fun in his life in the future.

But then he slapped the dark self in his heart twice, is he short of money? There is no shortage! One set for one person! Fortunately, the house is big enough, but it hurts the decoration company. But that's nothing, the more they ask, the more money they make.

In addition to decorating, and drawing manga, Kyosuke Hojo just ran to Glass and Naoka's apartment to help them make up for their lessons, and Sakura would occasionally come over. Although the results of the three have always been very good, it is inevitable that they will be a little nervous at this time.

In February, the four of them went to the private Fengzhiqi College to take the entrance exam. Kyosuke Hojo secretly said that the school was all closed on this day, otherwise he would have to face the Shura field in advance.

In fact, Ying Lili and Senior Sister Shiyu offered to send him for the exam, but he refused on the grounds of "I'm not a child".

Neon's high school is similar to a university, in addition to the county unified examination and the central examination, there is also a school's entrance examination, and public high schools value the results of the county unified examination.

A week later, Toyonozaki Academy released the list, and the four passed without any suspense. It's better to say that even if Kyosuke Hojo handed over the white roll school, he would have passed, because as early as when he received the application, the school publicized it with great fanfare, trying to use this "once in 500 million light years, a genius beyond God" as a propaganda enrollment.

This nickname was given to Kyosuke Hojo by Weekly Fumiharu. The neon people, who have a total history of only more than 2,000 years, casually cut out 500 million light years to name a national middle school student, and it is hard to imagine what kind of kindness and affection this is.

In this regard, Kyosuke Hojo had to explain to the people around him again that he really didn't pay for the advertising of "Weekly Bunharu", and he didn't even receive an interview request. This inexplicable love really made him a little unbearable.

The pass report was brought to him by Ying Lili, along with the illustrations of "Sword Art Online".

"I drew it based on myself, so thank you with gratitude!" Ying Lili proudly held her little head high, and her face was full of words Come and praise me, come and praise me.

Not......

If you want to say that this fandom drew a little bit of my face, then I can see it, but Asuna's rich face and figure are hard to say.

Kyosuke Hojo rubbed Eiri's little head with a smile on his face, paid for it with both hands, and then served a glass of hot milk. Girl, you still need to work hard.

When the house was renovated, it was late March, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom during the graduation season.

The reason why the neon graduation ceremony makes people feel happy, in addition to the meticulous sense of ceremony, is largely due to the cherry blossoms in the sky. In a season like this, you can be happy no matter what you do.

The last semester of the third year of junior high school ended peacefully, and Kyosuke Hojo walked into the school wearing a school uniform that had been ironed six times.

His parents, grandparents had come to Tokyo three days earlier for his graduation ceremony. Her mother, Mikiko Hojo, was given the absolute advantage to sit in the venue and watch the ceremony, while the others visited the school.

In the host's introduction, the inexplicable passionate music, and the applause of the parents. The head teacher, who hadn't seen a name in the past three years, but was definitely a good teacher, walked in front in a monochrome. Dressed in a black school uniform without a trace of wrinkles and with a small yellow flower pinned to his chest, Kyosuke Hojo walked into the venue with his third-grade classmates.

Standing in front of the chairs, the teachers and students turned together and bowed to the parents.

Sitting in the group of parents at the back of the venue, seeing her son who had grown so tall and handsome, Mikiko Hojo was the first to start crying, and then the parents around her were not to be outdone.

Among the students, Kyosuke Hojo's smile was still bright. He knew that on days like this, what his mother wanted to see most was his smile.

After all the students were seated, the host on the stage began to call the names of the graduates according to the roster, and Kyosuke Hojo was of course the first.

When he walked up, Kyosuke Hojo's thoughts couldn't help but drift to the time he graduated from elementary school. I vaguely remember that when the head teacher and principal at that time handed themselves the certificate of completion, their expressions were as happy as waiting for the sun that they hadn't seen for three months.

When Kyosuke Hojo came to the stage, the originally quiet audience suddenly burst into violent applause. The classmates who were supposed to walk up with him also sat motionless and applauded desperately.

These guys......

The corners of his mouth widened, he raised his hand and waved it vigorously, and then walked to the rostrum amid applause.

From the same three years without a name, but definitely a good person from the hands of the principal, take over, take over......

The principal, who was supposed to hand over his graduation certificate and whisper a happy graduation, didn't let go for some reason, but looked at Kyosuke Hojo with "affectionate" eyes.

"Hojo-kun, is it true that high school doesn't stay in Higashijo?"

The principal's affectionate voice resounded from the microphone, if this student stays, he won't have to worry about his performance in the next three years!

The people who had been quiet in the audience also shouted at the top of their voices when they heard this.

"Minister, let's stay, let's go to the national competition together next year, okay!"

"Chief, Dongcheng can't live without you!"

"I really can't accept a school without a big brother!"

……

was originally full of boys, but at this moment, they all shouted, and the closed venue suddenly became like a star-chasing scene.

In the past three years, whether it is a member of the Runaway Angel and the Kendo Club or not, this year's academy has been wholeheartedly conquered by the "Genius Who Surpasses God in 500 Million Light Years".

Invincible force, superb learning, all neon can't find the second handsome...... Such a peer whose merits are too many to count, is in the same teaching building as them every day, without the slightest arrogance.

Whether it's studying, living, or even emotional problems, as long as you ask him for help, you will definitely get selfless help. How can such a person not be admired?

But not everyone has the kind of Misaki who follows his eldest brother all the way to the black ...... The determination to go to Rome. Whether it is due to family pressure or based on future considerations, as long as you can go straight to Dongcheng High School, not many people will refuse.

So those who were already guilty and felt that they had betrayed Kyosuke Hojo cried one after another, and tears flowed into their mouths.

In the back row of the venue, the parents who were still crying first felt inexplicable for the principal's words, and then saw their son suddenly become excited, and they all looked confused. Because the parents' seats correspond to the students one by one, Mikiko Hojo instantly became the focus of everyone.

As if possessed by a pear pear, this woman, who was still crying with pear blossoms and rain just now, raised her snow-white straight neck high at this moment, and then introduced her son to the curious people around her with a humble face.

"Oops, this kid has been messing around like this since he was a child, and it's not good to be too popular."

Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, and some familiar classmates were about to run into their mouths, Kyosuke Hojo hurriedly took the microphone handed over by the principal:

"If I stay in East Side, I'm going to be stagnant, and I need to take on new challenges to keep pushing the boundaries of myself.

If there is a miracle in this world, it is just another name for hard work. Dongcheng is without me, it is still the invincible Dongcheng, which is an honor obtained by everyone's hard work.

We look forward to seeing you all at the University of Tokyo. ”

Then there was a rare forty-five-degree bow from Kyosuke Hojo and he stepped off the stage.

The next people who walked on the stage were still sobbing with the naked eye, but fortunately, the school uniform was black, and they couldn't see the traces of being soaked with tears. If it's a blue uniform, it's ugly.

After the graduation certificate was distributed, the school song was choired, and all the staff stood up and turned to face the parents, and when the students who were the conductors were in place, everyone spoke together.

Everyone sang hard, including Kyosuke Hojo. This is the case in the boys' middle school, where even people with incomplete pentatonic voices can mix in the crowd to show their singing voices.

"Love and tears, you will know, at the end of the labyrinth, called hope, full of faith. The more I understand grief, the kinder I will be. Goddess of time, please tell me if you can't hold hands......"

Tojo's school song is very nice and tear-jerking, at least Kyosuke Hojo is about to cry when he hears it. Although in the end, he touched the corner of his eye and realized that it was just his delusion.

We play video, and there is video of kendo competition, sports festival, school trip......

Finally, a golden paper ball suddenly exploded above the stage, and a note with a graduation greeting fell down.

After the group photo, after Kyosuke Hojo kicked off a couple of funny bastards who wanted to ask him for buttons, his junior high school officially ended.
