“…… There is also the office building that I was optimistic about, all the formalities have been completed, and the renovation company will submit the design plan within two weeks. That's about it. ”

Tetsuta Samisaki closed the notepad, pushed his glasses and said, then looked at his eldest brother, waiting for the next step.

"Thank you for your hard work, drink tea and drink tea."

Kyosuke Hojo slept on a recliner and said casually.

Looking at the lazy appearance of the eldest brother, Shisaki sighed helplessly, picked up the osmanthus tea on the table and took a sip:

"Although the purchase has been completed, I still want to emphasize that there is really no need to buy such things as office buildings directly. Whether from the perspective of company development or investment, buying this kind of office building is not the right choice. The company will definitely grow in the future, and it will need to move to a more prosperous area and replace it with a larger office building.

If you want to invest, the yield of this office building is only 4.6%, and with the current economic situation, I don't see the possibility of improvement in the next five years. ”

"But there is no risk, things like buying a house should take a long-term view, five years is far from enough, at least you have to see the next ten years, you are still too young."

"But don't forget, Hojo, the money to buy an office building comes from a bank loan, and the annual interest is not a small amount."

"Isn't this partially offset with rent?"

"......" Although reason told Misaki that this was wrong, he still felt that it made sense for the first time.

"No, after all, you shouldn't use a large amount of money to buy real estate in the early days of the company's business!"

"This is an empty office building without any lease contract, how rare it is, you have to take it quickly when you see it."

However, in Suginami District, there are as many office buildings as there are rented.

These words rolled around the mouth of Tesaki Tietai a few times and finally swallowed it again, although the eldest brother has unparalleled talent in some fields, he is still too messy. That's nearly 400 million yen, and if you use it to make an animation, you can already make a top-notch movie.

"Sword Art Online will be published soon, and if you want to, you can pay off the loan directly. In that case, it can be said that it is a pure profit in terms of rent savings, and it is very promising to generate income before the start of full-scale operation. ”

Kyosuke Hojo waved his hand, if he didn't want to keep some money in his hand for consumption, the money in his bank account would not be enough to buy. Originally, the deposit of more than 200 million yuan after buying a house and renovating it was restored to 300 million after the signing meeting was reprinted.

“……”

Well, with the talent and hard work of the eldest brother, even if he messes up a little, it will not affect the overall situation, and he has the qualifications to be willful. Moreover, isn't it precisely because of the unreasonable strength of the eldest brother that he is determined to follow. At least for now, his 1% stake has swelled rapidly.

Shisaki stopped talking, put the notepad on the table, and leaned back in his chair in the same way as Kyosuke Hojo, holding a teacup and enjoying the peace and quiet of the night.

The landscape lights in the courtyard are still not fully turned on, and the solar floor lamps lit up under the plants are enough to provide comfortable lighting.

The flourishing branches of the cherry blossom tree are adorned with cherry blossoms, and under the illumination of the floor lamp, the white petals seem to glow with a faint fluorescence, and the demons are scorching, like clouds, and there is a mysterious beauty. Because of her presence, the whole courtyard looks unpleasant.

Sakura on the other side of Edo, and it is only today that Kyosuke Hojo knows why it has such a name. If there really was a boat rider on the Santu River, he must have been standing under such a cherry blossom tree and waiting.

On the other side of the round table, Tetsuta Samisaki was also looking at the cherry blossom tree.

Spring は夜桜, 夏には星, Autumn に満月, Winter には雪

(Cherry blossoms at night in spring, starry in summer, full moon in autumn, first snow in winter)

Just like the eldest brother promised, in the spring three years after they met, the two were in such a mansion, sipping osmanthus tea and watching the night cherry blossoms.

The two sat on chairs and chaise longues, with a white folding round table in the middle, on which was placed a glass teapot with pale yellow osmanthus tea. There was very little wind in the silent courtyard, only the faint chatter of pedestrians on the street outside. The whole horizon was filled with the fluorescent cherry blossom tree, and it was quiet and peaceful, a day like this that Sasaki had never imagined.

It's really good, it's really the right choice to follow my eldest brother in this life.

Although he complained that his eldest brother had invited himself and others to hold a housewarming banquet after so long, he was still very satisfied with the fact that his eldest brother had a temperament. Naturally, he is not the only one who came today, and the people who are close to the organization have come, but now they have all gone back, and only he still has something to report, so he has stayed until now.

"This cherry blossom is the weeping cherry blossom in the cherry blossoms on the other side of Edo, right?" Shisaki asked.

"Well, how's that, it's beautiful." Kyosuke Hojo opened his squinted eyes and turned to Shisaki and asked.

"Weeping cherry blossoms do have a beauty that Somei-Yoshino cherry blossoms don't have, but if I'm not mistaken, this is probably a variety from Kyoto, right?"

The eldest brother, who has always been lazy, didn't throw such a troublesome thing as decorating the house to himself, which was also something that Misaki didn't expect. You know, he started teaching himself gardening and decorating early on.

"That's right, I personally went to Kyoto to pick it up, and it is said to be a direct descendant of Takayama Kamiyo Sakura." At the mention of this, Kyosuke Hojo even sat up straight.

"It's rare that you have such idleness." Samisaki was surprised.

"Haha, this kind of thing, you won't understand if the mother is single."

...... "My Misaki Tetsuta's Youth Love Story is bound to unfold in high school!"

"Some people in the organization are already asking if they want to expand the chassis to Toshima Ward, after all, there is no reason for the chief to study on other people's chassis." Shisaki asked.

"It's good that you decide that kind of thing, or how about you directly serve as the third generation chief? After all, I don't think I should play that kind of game anymore after graduating from junior high school. Kyosuke Hojo lay down bored again.

"That's not good, if it weren't for your signboard, the Runaway Angel and the Wenjing District would soon fall into chaos again."

Although his previous dream was said to be a game, Samisaki was not angry at all, because he clearly knew that this kind of bad thing was really a child's game for his eldest brother. At first, the organization could provide some help to the eldest brother, but now that help is very little.

For the Rampage Angels, although Hojo Kyosuke, who is the head of the second generation, does not seem to have made any contribution except for the first two solo dismantling and the guidance of the Tojo Kendo Club. But that's not the case, as long as the eldest brother is still the chief one day, then all the members will continue to enjoy his blessings.

Kyosuke Hojo is like a signboard, like the sun in the sky, and anyone who can see him can feel the scorching heat. No organization dared to set foot in their territory, only a steady stream of people, eager to join in with that power.

"It's a nuisance." Someone, who hadn't been to the rally for almost half a year, sighed.

Half of the fun of cherry blossom viewing was lost, and Kyosuke Hojo stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, but suddenly stopped.

The light from the living room created a shadow on the back of the teacup, but now there was a little darker color in that shadow.

It was an ant, with a small body, and the two tentacles on its head kept moving, probing where the sweet smell in the air came from. Its head poked out of its shadows, touched the white light of the living room, and then shrank back. Wandering in place for a moment, it crawled towards the cup.

First its tentacles reached the cup, and then it climbed up firmly. It's amazing, such a slippery cup, it actually climbed up so easily.

On the cyan glass teacup, the black ants seem to blend into the black lines, becoming a climber.

It's really old and strong, looking at the other party's vigorous pace, someone admired in his heart, he knows, among the ants, the ones who are responsible for searching for food are generally old and experienced old worker ants.

When it reaches the middle, its antennae will shake again, as if to confirm the direction. Finally, the ant climbed the rim of the cup, and the antennae on its head began to shake rapidly. I don't know if I am rejoicing, or if I am further exploring the honey content in osmanthus tea.

If Sakura had been Sakura, he would have hid the cup as soon as the ants came home to report the news. Thinking so, he unconsciously smiled.

"Huh? How can there be ants? Tetsuta Shisaki finally noticed his eldest brother's abnormality, and stretched out his hand to help his eldest brother deal with uninvited guests.

"Don't move." Kyosuke Hojo stretched out his hand to block it.

Seeing that the ants were about to crawl down the inner wall of the teacup, he picked up his mobile phone and took a photo, edited it, and sent it.

On the other side, in the ward, Sakura, who had just been woken up by the nurse and didn't know what injection water had been given, and couldn't sleep for a while, heard the mobile phone ringing and hurriedly took the mobile phone.

"The ants climbed into my cup, and I thought it was the greedy Sakura." - Kyosuke Hojo

In the picture, a small ant stands on the rim of a cyan glass teacup, looking embarrassed.

"Poof...... Wha-"

Although his whole body was in pain, the first time he saw the information, Sakura Yamauchi burst out laughing instantly. After being involved in the wound, the corners of her mouth suddenly grinned in pain, but she smiled even more happily.

Maki Yamauchi, who was taking care of his daughter in the hospital, saw this, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it must have been a message from Kyosuke Hojo. Seeing her daughter's happy appearance, she couldn't help but want to cry. It has been several days since the operation, and my daughter is in a coma every day, although I know that it is a rapid recovery, but seeing my daughter, who is full of anger, become like this, the sadness in her heart is still accumulating.

But she can't cry, because then her daughter will also be very embarrassed, and as a mother, how can she let her sick daughter comfort her in turn.

"I'll go out for a while." Whispering, she was ready to leave the space for her daughter.

"Uh-huh, thank you Mom." Sakura said happily.

Habitually wanting to press the call button, but thinking that her now weak voice would definitely arouse Kyosuke's suspicions, she switched to sending messages again.

"Wow, ahhhh It's too much to say I'm an ant! I'm angry, super invincible angry! —Sakura Yamauchi

Along with the message, there is also an emoji, which is a photo of Sakura smiling and puffing out her cheeks, stretching out her little white finger to point at the camera.

Sakura Yamauchi has a whole set of emojis to deal with various situations, of course, only with a few or four people.

Looking at the news, the smile on Kyosuke Hojo's face softened, and the strength of his fingers tapping the screen was a little slower.

So what exactly do ants have to do with love? Why is it that just such an ant, the eldest brother can laugh so much?

Looking at the appearance of the eldest brother, Tesaki Tetsu is full of question marks, shouldn't he write it down in the memo at this time to call the pest control company tomorrow? Sure enough, on the way to love, I have to continue to learn from my eldest brother.

"But Sakura is a glutton."

"Although I'm a glutton, it's too hurtful to say this, I don't care, punish you for singing me a song!"

Under the fluorescence of the screen, Sakura's face was full of longing, she missed him, wanted to hear his voice, wanted to see his face, and wanted to trace his eyebrows, nose bridge, and lips with her fingers......

Looking at the message sent by Sakura, the emoji with a ruthless face on his small waist, Kyosuke Hojo hesitated again and again, and looked at Tetsuta Sasaki next to him.

"Sasaki!"

"Hey! What's the matter, big brother. Looking at the serious expression of the eldest brother, Samisaki hurriedly replied.

"You're going to see my biggest secret next, can you help me keep it?"

"Of course! You can always trust me! Samisaki patted his chest vigorously, although he didn't know why things turned like this in an instant, his loyalty to his eldest brother would never change!

"Well, that's it, that's good......"

Kyosuke Hojo muttered in a low voice, then looked up at the second floor again. Glass's window was open, and she was in her room watching cartoons, one of their lesson plans. Of course, the main thing to learn is the basic skills of vocal skills.

But that's not the point, the point is that if you sing, you will also be heard by the glass. Although she has long known that her singing is unpleasant, she will still be very embarrassed.

He took one last deep look at Shisaki, who swallowed heavily, a sense of mission surrounding Shisaki.

Pressing the record button, he took a deep breath and sang:

"The crimson sun sinks into the desert. The big monster, leisurely, lives there every day. One morning, I woke up from a sleep and a caravan of camels came from afar......"

Shisaki Tetsu's too serious expression began to collapse the moment Kyosuke Hojo opened his mouth, and before he could finish singing a sentence, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and fell into pain.

The three-year career as a president and the experience of countless social deaths not only brought Kyosuke Hojo's psychological quality to face book fans and the media, but also gave him a deeper understanding of the phrase "as long as you are not embarrassed and embarrassed, it is someone else".

Since Sakura wants to hear it, then sing it to her seriously.

In the silence of the night, the melodious singing continued to rise and rise, drifting into the room of the glass, and into the studio of Naoka.

Pressing the pause, Glass walked to the window and looked at Kyosuke Hojo, who was singing below. The little face was surprised at first, and then narrowed his eyes and listened carefully.

I miss it so much, even after so many years, Kyosuke-kun's singing voice is still so unique.

It was by listening to such singing that I learned to sing and to speak.

“…… I really want to see the sea, I really want to fall in love with people, although it's a monster, it's also heart~~"

His eyes were full of tenderness, and Glass sang along with a small voice.

Below, Kyosuke Hojo didn't even look at Tetsuta Misaki, when he was in elementary school, he thought the song was talking about glass, but now he thinks it's actually about himself.

"Then let's go, leave the desert and go to a place with love and the sea~"

End singing, lift your finger, send.

"How's that, it's great!" Turning his head, he said without any ups and downs with a blank face.

"Well, it's very long-term." Tetsuta Samisaki nodded respectfully.

Hospital, while waiting, Sakura has already lay down.

Click play, it's obviously such an ugly singing, listen to it, but the pain in the body seems to have disappeared quietly, and the girl fell asleep peacefully.

Maki Yamauchi saw such a scene when he walked in, and gently took out the mobile phone that his daughter was holding tightly, and the voice was not over yet.

Hehe, it's been so many years, and Kyosuke's kid still sings so badly.

Misaki, who had eaten a mouthful of dog food, couldn't sit down anymore, and her peaceful and peaceful state of mind was destroyed.

Even a big brother who sings so ugly can live with so many beautiful girls, there is no reason why he can't, at least he is better at singing.

On the way home, Samisaki thought silently.

……

The next day, Kyosuke Hojo, who was basking in the sun in the garden, received an unexpected phone call.

"Hey, Hiratsuka-san, good morning."

The caller was a friend of Miki Okuji, Hiratsuka Shizuka, and the two would exchange phone calls just out of politeness, and although they would occasionally go to the smoke pavilion for dinner, they were not in a relationship where they would call each other in the morning.

"Good morning, Hojo."

An unceremonious voice rushed over there, well, for the relationship is generally only Hojo Kyosuke himself thinks. Shizune Hiratsuka, who has been sent home several times by the two of them because she was drunk, seems to have taken someone as a friend, of course, at the level below Miki Okuji.

"Are you going to eat with Miki today?" This is the only intersection between the two that he can think of.

"No, no, didn't we just have dinner together the day before yesterday, and I haven't thanked you for sending me home." Hiratsuka said.

"You're Miki's best friend, so there's no need to thank you for this little thing."

"Ah, that's ......"

After saying this, the other side of the phone fell silent, and Kyosuke Hojo waited a few seconds before asking:

"Is there anything you need help with?"

"It's not about helping, but it's something you can only do."

"Huh?"

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

"Remember, at a bar in Shinjuku."

"Do you remember what you said to Miki on the way to the bar?"

The voice on the other side of the phone gradually became serious, and Kyosuke Hojo's memory began to recover, and he gradually had a bad premonition in his heart.

"At that time, Miki said, it's a pity that you are already a high school student, otherwise you might have become my student. And then, what did you say, do you remember? ”

……

Of course, my brain, smart enough to push human civilization forward on its own, certainly remembered, not to mention that I thought I had heard the voice of the god of destiny. Without waiting for him to speak, Hiratsuka Shizune on the other side continued:

"You said you'd be happy if you could, but you wouldn't be able to transfer to another school. That's right? ”

"Well, that's exactly what I said."

Although he already knew the purpose of what the other party said, Kyosuke Hojo immediately admitted that his bottom line was flexible in other aspects, but he has always been honest with the people he likes. Until now, the only lie is to falsely report Miki's age. Now, is retribution coming......

"Then, come to Zongwu High School, and I will help you handle the formalities."

"Does Miki know about this?" If this is what she wants, then she can only go to Ying Li Li to apologize later.

"On the day the Smoke Pavilion opened, Miki Komi came to my house in the middle of the night and drank three full bottles of neon sake. Usually she persuaded me to drink less, but that day it turned out to be me persuading her. She's been crying, crying all the time, do you know how sad she is when she learns that you're just a middle school student!? ”

Hiratsuka shouted loudly, the reason why she didn't make this request early was to teach the kid on the other side a lesson now, so that the other party could experience the pain of having their plans and fantasies for the future disrupted. Such a boy should give himself a good education.

“…… I'll go back to Miki later. ”

Although the other party didn't say it explicitly, Kyosuke Hojo also figured it out. With Miki's considerate character, she would never make such a difficult request. The most fascinating thing about that mature and intellectual woman is that thoughtfulness and sensibility.

What Hiratsuka said, when he went to the smoke pavilion the next day, he didn't notice anything unusual from Miki at all, and the cigar aroma on the other party's body was still so charming and sweet. She has her own ideas and never makes it difficult for herself. Now, it's completely Hiratsuka Shizune who is meddling in her affairs.

"I will also go to Zongwu High School to study."

"That's pretty much it, see you at the start of school."

The phone hung up, and Kyosuke Hojo stared at the screen for two seconds.

What's the matter with this woman's smug tone? She wouldn't think that she had gone to Zongwu Gao and left her to handle, right? You must know that the reason why I agreed to this request was completely out of guilt for Miki, and it had nothing to do with her.

Ying Lili, Shiyu Senior Sister, Straight Flower ......

Hiss, headache.

Standing in the courtyard, Kyosuke Hojo began to have a headache. Today, he is the only one in the family, and Glass goes to the cultivation center, and Zhihua goes shopping to buy fabrics.

Hop on a motorbike and head straight to the Smoke Pavilion.

In the kitchen, Miki Okuji was preparing the ingredients to be used later, when suddenly the light shining in from the door, turned his head and saw that it was actually Kyosuke Hojo.

"Ah, Kyosuke, why are you here?" Under the slender eyelashes, the big light gray eyes were instantly filled with surprise.

"What, aren't you welcome?"

"Hehe, how could it be." It's just that I just met the day before yesterday, and according to the habit of the two, it will be at least two more days.

"I'm so hungry, I want to eat Miki's cooking." Looking at Miki's undisguised happiness, Kyosuke Hojo's gloomy mood instantly improved.

Alas, such a good woman should be regarded as self-punishment for being so sad by herself.

After eating and chatting with Miki on the second floor for a while, Kyosuke Hojo went home. I called Sakura first and told Sakura about the transfer and explained the reason, and Sakura over there gloated and smiled and agreed without any guilt.

In the evening, I discussed it with Naoka Glass, and the former naturally went to Sobu High with him, but the latter decided to stay in Toyonosaki.

Both Kyosuke Hojo and Glass can understand Naoka, just like Glass would rather not go to high school than want to be a voice actor, Naoka has been working hard for her dream since elementary school. Toyonosaki's textile department can be of great help to her.

"Don't be so disappointed, Naohua, anyway, we all live together, and we see each other more every day than we did in elementary school." Glass took Naoka Ueno's hand and comforted softly.

"Yes, the two schools are not far away, and when the time comes, we can even go to your school first, and then we will go to eat and go shopping together." Kyosuke Hojo also accosted.

His house is located in the middle of two schools, Toyonozaki on the left and Sobu High on the right.

"Kyosuke, you must take care of Glass, and you must not let her be bullied!" Naoka looked up and said.

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

"Hehe, I'll take care of myself, too, Naohua." Glass smiled sheepishly.

It's solved here at home.,The next thing is Ying Lili and Kasumigaoka Senpai.。 As soon as he thought of this, Kyosuke Hojo couldn't help but close his eyes and start sleeping.

The next day, at 10 a.m., the old Furukawa Garden

"Why are you here so early?"

Ying Li asked in surprise, she was still sleeping when she received the call, and she hurried down in a nightdress to help Kyosuke Hojo open the door.

"Isn't it already ten o'clock? Did you stay up late again last night? Also, the straps of your nightdress are falling off. ”

Looking at the girl with messy hair and sleepy eyes, Kyosuke Hojo pointed to the shoulder straps of the white lace nightdress. A large expanse of snow white was revealed under the slippery nightdress, dazzling white in the early morning sun. The healthy growth of the pear pear can now stretch the chest of the clothes into a very attractive shape, at least someone will be able to swallow when they see it.

"Ahhh Perverted! Pervert! ”

The girl's sleepiness swept away, and the pink spread from the earlobe to the tip of her nose.

Bang, the door that had just been opened was closed again. Someone with a weak heart didn't dare to laugh, just waited silently at the door.

About five minutes later, I changed into a short yellow dress, my fluffy hair was combed into a double ponytail, and even my slender and straight legs were put on a pair of black cotton tights. The temperature in the spring morning is still in some places, and it seems that the pear pear is also contaminated with someone's habit of being afraid of cold.

"Come in." The little face was still crimson, and the squeamish voice was full of shyness.

"Excuse me." Kyosuke Hojo even said politely.

"When have you been so polite?" Ying Lili looked back in surprise.

"I've always been super polite, okay?"

"Is that so?" Ying Li Li looked at someone suspiciously.

"Isn't Aunt Sayuri home either?" Kyosuke Hojo looked around, and Mrs. Sayuri would usually be on the first floor watching TV or drinking tea or something when he came. As for Mr. Spencer, today is not a day off, and the other party has already gone to work.

"Mom went to the flower arrangement." Ying Li Li walked up the stairs.

Don't say that I didn't have a foreshadowing, from the previous conversation with Miki Hiratuka Shizuna of Okuji, to the choice of Yukino Hyakori, and then to the introduction, I almost didn't write it directly

(End of chapter)
