"What's the step?"

"First base, second base, or home plate?"

"There are no barriers, and if there are, only barriers."

The head of the family took out his mobile phone and handed it to Asama to see,

A photo of himself and himself in Akasaka and Toranomon, a photo of himself and his party at a supermarket and a Futami family apartment, and a photo of himself walking out of Shiba Park Apartment.

The head of the family sneered,

"With Masumi and a group of girls who are not ashamed, after two nights, what is this called?"

"The first one is an invitation to dinner today after the concert, the second one is a farewell banquet between friends, and the last two are the second round of farewell banquet, which I didn't attend, I just went home to get something. If you don't believe it, you can find someone to check it again.

Also, these photos were only obtained after the invitation was made, right? In this way, you are not the ruthless father who I imagined to be indifferent to I-san.

So, I would like to ask, Mr. Ichijo, what is the reason why I am invited to come over today as a friend of I-san? ”

In the face of Asama's calm reply, a strange smile on the face of the head of the family disappeared and was replaced with a calm expression.

"Masumi has never made any reliable friends since he was a child. I'm curious, in her mouth, how reliable is that world's most important friend? ”

"Then you should rest assured, this friend is completely unreliable."

“.”

Asama didn't want to get in touch with this Ichijo family head because of Ichijo Masumi.

After chatting with Arima for a while, he was sure that he and these five photographers were destined to be enemies in the future. If you befriend them personally, you need to make friends with their family. He was worried that one day in the future, when the banner of the revolution was raised and he wanted to kill their entire family, he would not be able to do it because of his soft heart.

Hey??? WTF？？？

Asama took off the wisdom prop, and at the same time took off his glasses, took out the glasses cloth from his pocket and wiped them slowly.

What is the self of Intelligence 6 thinking?

I was invited by the head of the family today, most likely for the sake of a true Cheng to study abroad with the old lady of the sea.

I like to escape and make my own life choice, and as a relevant person involved in the process of changing a true statement, it is normal for me to be called to my home by my parents to ask a few words. However, behind his questioning today, he heard the smell of wanting to bind.

What nonsense did this old man say to the white-haired family master?

Looking at Asama's indifferent look, the eyes and momentum of the head of the family suddenly sharpened.

"Since you can't even make a simple promise, you should stay away from our family's true Cheng in the future."

From her relationship with Ichijo Masumi, I learned that since she refused to be engaged, she was treated coldly by Ichijo's family.

She also didn't want to stay at home, so she came out of a home and began to live alone.

The back of a true Cheng sitting alone on the steps of the literary club building still exists in Asama's mind.

The experience of a failed love affair in junior high school, the current situation of being isolated in high school, and doubts about yourself. In fact, it is not these things that can easily defeat people, but the lack of a home that can provide shelter and healing.

A father's concern came too late, and they, the adults, would only say high-sounding things after everything happened, just like the waste police in Tokyo?

Asama chuckled,

"Hehe, Mr. Ichijo, I'm glad you can think so much for I-san, please keep it up!"

The head of the Ichijo family frowned when he heard Asama's praise, and then he thought of something and stretched out again.

"Are you upset for Masumi?"

"If you don't fight back and don't hold you accountable, then I'll really start fighting?"

“.”

"Father, Hero-kun, how were you talking?"

Ichijo Masumi sat on his knees with a teapot and teacup on a tray and looked at Asama.

"Hero-kun?"

"That, that's what I call Shisui-kun."

"Hero? H, plus Ero (gongkou), right? Takuma Konoe and Kenzo Fujiwara are very familiar with your affairs, and they are really not false. ”

“.”

When did I get romantic?

Guards Puff !! The source of the rumors about me in the Five Photographers family is actually you!!

I still think that you are not a bad person dressed as a revolutionary comrade.

"Hero-kun. Very romantic? ”

Ichijo Masumi seems to hear an outrageous joke like "Japan is a cheerful people".

Hearing his daughter laughing, the head of the family put away his hostility,

"Masumi, let me ask you something-if the one from the Eagle Division family still has a will, will you agree?"

Hearing his father's words, the joy in Ichijo Mazumi's heart was like a rabbit that saw a fox, burrowed into a hole and disappeared without a trace.

"Father. That's it. Is it the price for me to go to Europe? ”

"Eagle Division?"

One looked at Asama with wide eyes.

The head of the house laughed,

"Fuji's Asama is not ignorant of the Goseki family."

Can't you people change the fault of talking to yourself?

Asama turned his head to look at Ichijo Masumi and said to her with a firm look,

"I-san, since Mr. Ichijo is asking you, not ordering you, then, you have the right to refuse."

The head of the family lightly lit a few cases that were as smooth as lacquerware, looked at Asama, and asked in a low and serious manner,

"Asama still water, can you afford the price of instigating Masumi's refusal?"

Ichijo Masumi couldn't help but look at Asama, she didn't want him to take responsibility, but she didn't want to hear Asama refuse.

Asama and Ichijo looked at each other again, and he understood why Ichijo's hostility had come.

Asama's still water makes their strategy of "boiling frogs in warm water" against a Masumi fail.

Unexpectedly, Konoe Chiyo's affairs were barely balanced by bluffing, and the pressure from the Ichijo family came up again?

Do you have the right to dictate a true life of [One Family]?

No, no one has the power to dictate other people's lives.

Even if it's a parent, the matter of [supporting a child's dreams] should never be a deal like this.

"I-san, please answer me, do you like the piano?"

Ichijo Masumi looked at Hitomi who seemed to be shining with golden light in Asama, and his heart throbbed,

"I like it"

Not only the piano, but also the teenager in front of him.

"So, I-san, please answer me, are you willing to chase the piano road on the condition of marrying Takaji?"

Ichijo Masumi was silent for a long time, she knew that the next answer would determine her fate.

She thinks back to every word she uttered at the end of the concert.

Hero-kun, the answer, didn't you already know?

Ichijo Masumi ended her momentary hesitation, she took a deep breath, turned her head to look at her father, and said to Asama with a smile,

"I'm sorry father. I don't want to! ”

Asama felt that he would not be able to eat this dinner.

He thought that maybe a true trip to Europe tomorrow would most likely be canceled.

He thought that he would have to suffer from one of the five families again, and it was a big deal to take his parents back to Huaxia!

He smiled, then stood up, and looked down at the head of the family who was unconsciously looking up at him,

"Mr. Ichijo, an alliance that requires the next generation to marry in order to gain mutual trust will only bring shame to the older generation. Since it was I who instigated I-sang to refuse the marriage, the price, although looking for me, is. ”

Asama turned his head to look at the tears in the corners of his eyes, and he didn't know what to do.

"I-san, don't you mind if I take the place of a family and sponsor your dreams, right?"

Ichijo Masumi didn't speak, and great courage surged from her chest to her limbs.

She understood what Asama meant, so she stood beside Asama.

Father, I'm sorry. That's my choice.

There used to be a lot of luck.

From today on, let me officially say goodbye to my home and open up my own world with him under the name of Masumi Asama!

"Hahahahaha——————ha

The head of the family also stood up, and calmly puffed his palms in the somewhat stunned sight of the two.

"Yes, very good. Zhencheng, you don't have to worry, the price, we have already paid it. ”

“.”

"Father, when?"

"Asama-kun is right. For both alliances, it is not necessary to be happy. Actually, I don't care about you running away from home, I just give a decent explanation to the Eagle Family. So, this time, it's just a little bit further. It doesn't cost anything to chase your dreams and fly away.

If there really is any price, don't worry, Dad will pay it back for you. ”

The head of the Ichijo family stopped clapping and opened his hands to Ichijo Masumi.

The piano girl glanced at Asama, Asama nodded to her, she took three steps and made two steps, and hugged her father,

"Sorry, Dad"

"Masumi, Dad invited Asama over today, just to tell you that you did make the right friend.

Asama-kun, Takuma Konoe and Kenzo Fujiwara all have a good eye. You, very good. ”

Not bad immortals you!?

After staring at the head of the Ichijo family for 1 second, Asama understood what he had to do at the moment.

"Hahahahaha——————ha

Asama puffed his hands at the head of the family.

"Yes, very good. I-san, your father is a good head of the family who is responsible, and he is also a good father who is responsible. He actually cares about you all the time, such as finding someone to follow you and take candid photos. ”

"Father's !!"

"Just to keep you safe, those bad boys who confessed to you, I said hello to their parents."

Asama suddenly asked,

"Does that include the Yasaka family?"

"Yasaka? Which Yasaka? Haven't heard of it."

"That's nothing."

It seems that the bodyguards of the Ichijo family are not professional in intelligence.

The butler and the cook finally appeared, and after a brief conversation, one of the housekeepers urged them to hurry up and serve the food.

"Masumi, are you still drinking today?"

was found out by his father that he was drunk for two days in a row, and Ichijo Masumi couldn't help but cover his face,

"Father————

"It's not legal to encourage minors to drink, right?"

"The law? Oh, the law is set to protect the weak and prevent evil, we are neither weak nor evil, why should we care about the law? ”

After recording this sentence, it is estimated that there will be no shortage of news in the whole of Japan in the next week, but with the development of technology today, there is no cost for AI to synthesize a recording, and the recording or something will not be taken seriously.

In the end, neither Asama nor Ichijo Masumi drank alcohol.

Ichijo Home's recipes are pure and light Japanese kaiseki cuisine, and the appetizers, bowls, sashimi, yang, boiled, and grilled dishes are all exquisite.

There is no filling at all, and there is a lot of seafood.

But seeing that the head of the family was eating it himself, Asama didn't care if it was nuclear cuisine or not, and ate it all into his stomach.

During the banquet, the head of the family asked,

"Asama-kun, where are you going to study after graduating from Eiwa?"

"It's right in Todai."

"Todai"

"You can also go to Tsinghua University and Peking University in China."

"Don't you go to these better schools at Yale and Harvard?"

"I think it's more important to consider whether the cultural soil is suitable for you than school ranking. Perelman, the mathematician who solved Poincaré's conjecture, grew up in a learning environment that was not at the top of the list of British and American schools, could he be worse than those mathematics professors who attended top universities? ”

"But after all, the base is different."

"It is precisely because of the different bases that we must keep those small bases for our own country, accumulate a small amount, and accumulate a mountain of soil."

The head of the family drank a glass of wine and shook his head, and a strand of obedient white hair fell from his head.

"Then why do you think it's okay to go to Huaxia?"

"Because China has a future."

The head of the family drank another glass of wine, his face was already slightly drunk, and he smiled,

"Yes, I understand a little, Konoe figured out why he liked you. Asama, are you interested in joining our family? ”

“.”

"Father's !!"

"I'm sorry, your daughter and I are just friends."

"I understand a little, Konoe pondered the feeling of being rejected by you, not bad."

One sent Asama to the door of the garden, and the two stood still, talking,

"I'm sorry, Hero-kun. My father lost some of his temper. ”

"Maybe it's because I'm happy to release my suspicions with my daughter."

Ichijo looked at Asama affectionately,

But Asama deliberately didn't look at her, he looked at the western sky.

For him, that direction is the East.

When you look at the East, you think of Dongfang Hong, you think of Dongfang Hong, you think of greatness, and when you think of greatness, you have no interest in beautiful girls.

"Hero-kun, I'm going to say goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Looking at Asama, who can talk to his father, he became ruthless and silent at this time, and said with a slight pout,

"Do you want to deliberately make me hate you? You who are useless in my heart will always be my Hero. ”

The girl said back, and in the soft voice, the affection seemed to overflow with boiling water.

"I-san, I'm really neither H nor ero"

"So, Hero-kun, who is neither H nor ero, can you promise me that I won't be in love for 3 years in high school?"

"Not only to promise you, I will promise to the gods, of course."

The girl smiled, and she took a deep breath.

"Remember what you said, and wait for me to come back."

As long as Asama is wrong, even if Asama is in love, she will snatch him back.

At this moment, she can also be full of confidence in her future self.

"I would like to add, not just 3 years of high school, but a lifetime."

“.”

Ichijo Masumi wanted to hold Asama's hand, but was dodged by Asama.

"Goodbye, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly, I Sang, come on! No matter what the Xiao Award, the Chai Award or any competition, I will be notified of the finals, and all of us in the Love Counseling Department will fly together to cheer you on. ”

"Hmm"

Asama has walked away, waving at a hand with his back to his body,

"I can't hear you, please say yes, no problem, welcome."

"Okay, no problem!! Welcome!!! ”

Ichijo Zhencheng didn't want to leave, and between the piano and him, she couldn't tell which was more important.

Looking at the back of Asama's still water gradually disappearing, it is clear that she is the one who is really leaving, why, the saddest and most reluctant is also her?

The head of the four-hand piano department squatted on the ground and cried silently.

Her world has finally found a real second hand.

When she returns from Europe, once she holds these hands, she will not let go of them in this life.

Inexplicably, there is another contact information of the head of the family, and a Ma Yuan.

A name full of déjà vu.

The silver hair is cool, not too easy-going, not too cold, not too majestic, but also not frivolous, and there is no stand at the dinner of father and daughter. Overall, a good person.

Being able to say frankly and flouting the rules and laws surprised Asama.

Compared with Konoe Takuma, who can't guess at all, he will prefer a person like Ichijo Mayuan who has emotional ups and downs, and is also a crane-haired childish person.

If you want to say why Asama has no fear of these big shots.

Maybe I've seen too many big scenes in my last life.

[As long as it is a person, there will be a problem, and as long as there is a problem, it can be solved.] 】

Asama often takes the lines from Wang Zhiwen's "Black Ice" and trains the newcomers.

The legendary Achilles' heel and Rupert's tears in reality all confirm the truth that everything is flawed.

It was nearly 10 p.m. when Asama returned home.

Poki bought a pair of eye-protective flat glasses, wore glasses, and wore headphones in his ears, and sat on the bed, reading intently at a book.

It's good to be so well-behaved all the time.

Asama looked at the cover of the book in her hand, Paustovsky's "Golden Rose".

A book that is a guide to writing techniques, a book that perhaps more intoxicating the writer than Borges's introduction to literature.

Pochi, are you going to write?

"Ahem, I'm back."

Poki took off his headphones and immediately put on a flattering smile,

"Welcome back~Ah Shui~~~"

"Why don't you drink today?"

"Eh, hey~~~ Wasn't it a party two days ago~ There is also a sauce for a candied meal."

"The news was only announced today, and you knew about a ghost's food two days ago."

"I have a good time listening to a sauce and talking drunk~"

Well, Poch has obviously succeeded in pretending to be drunk these days.

Asama couldn't help but wonder, was there anyone pretending to be drunk yesterday?

I don't want to.

Take a bath, wash clothes, memorize English, dry clothes, and review Japanese history and world history.

By 12 o'clock, Poch had put his book aside and fell asleep.

Asama lay comfortably on the sofa, and the mobile phone in his pajama pants pocket was adjusted to vibrate the alarm at half past two, thirty, and half past five, and the sofa was moved to the farthest part of the living room from the bed, and the camera would be checked every day when he woke up.

Everything is about preventing Pochi night attacks.

Although Pochi has guarantees on his side, Pochi's credit with him is infinitely close to 0.

Go to sleep and wake up early tomorrow to review.

In this monthly test, you must get a good score! (End of chapter)
