"This time, the Shinkansen is headed for Shin-Osaka Station. Reserved seats throughout the journey, no free seats, the next stop is Shinagawa Station. All carriages include toilets, non-smoking! Thank you for your cooperation. When you need to use the phone......"

The loudspeaker on the aisle door played the precautions, and in the distance, a conductor slowly walked slowly pushing the vending truck.

The tickets bought by the three of Shiina Kirishi are serial numbers, but the carriages are five seats in a row, separated by an aisle.

The girl sat by the window, and Kirishi Shiina and Megumi Nakano sat on either side of the aisle.

It's a sunny day, but there is no direct sunlight on the side where Aakura is located, so the curtains are not covered.

The scenery outside the window is very good, and after all, Japan is a country with a forest coverage rate of 67%.

Green has always been a color for comfort and relaxation, so if you don't wear it on your head.

"This is the first time I've gone far away, what about you?"

Shiina Kiri looked at the girl's small half of the face and asked softly.

Aakura didn't reply, still looking out the window.

Shiina Kirishi is not surprised by this, she doesn't talk much, not to mention that she is in a bad mood today.

He continued to say to himself. "Isn't Asakura nervous?"

Although it was my grandfather, the girl was the first time I had seen her.

Megumi Nakano was kicked out of the house when she was still pregnant with her, and she never went back for more than ten years.

"If you're not used to being there, just call me and I'll pick you up shortly."

The girl still didn't reply, which made Shiina Kiri a little puzzled.

She had ignored him since she left the house.

Wait, it doesn't seem to be......

She asked him at the gate of Ueda Station, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Shiina fog. “……”

He could guarantee that he was definitely not smiling at that time, but he was not sure that he had pursed his lips and let the girl see the wrong information.

It seems that this kitten is quite vindictive.

Shiina Kiri reached out and grabbed her small hand that was placed casually on her thigh, and the girl really stopped ignoring him, turned her head and frowned, looking a little fierce.

Yesterday he said the last one.

Shiina Kiri gasped, but still held her right hand tightly.

In fact, the two are not holding hands in the strict sense, it is somewhat similar to yesterday, he only holds the girl's four fingers.

The kitten's little paws stabbed in the palm of his hand, and the harder he pushed, the more painful it became.

But Shiina Mist seemed to be masochistic, and pressed his palm against the girl's nails, and after only a while, his palm was already numb with pain.

"Won't go back."

The girl finally spoke.

The kitten let go of her closed little hand, and she was easily caught.

As always, he has a hard mouth, but he is still reluctant to hurt him.

I really deserve to be bullied.

"We didn't say we broke up, you will definitely marry in the future."

Shiina Kiri was talking nonsense in a serious manner, not caring at all that Megumi Nakano was on his other side, less than two meters away.

Last night, he actually asked Megumi Nakano about Aakura's studies, and learned that she was only in her first year of high school.

He was not surprised by this, after all, on the night when the thunder and gold were withdrawn, he asked the girl how old she was.

She was only a year younger than him.

She was only a freshman in high school, and he wanted to trick her into getting married, or he had been painting her a big pie.

Aakura heard him and looked out the window again.

"You didn't say it, together."

Her voice was a little faint, and Shiina Kiri didn't know what the tone was.

Disappointed? Relieved? Dazed? …？

Maybe neither, maybe there will be.

He didn't understand, but he could tell the girl was sad.

Yes, they didn't say they broke up, but he never officially confessed, not even the night she lost all her cards.

Actually, she hinted at it.

On the day she helped him wash his hands.

She asked him if he would put a wedding dress on her?

He said he would marry her.

The answer fits her question perfectly.

But that's not the only answer she wants.

You have to be together first, and then there will be things later.

The boys will feel that liking is a matter of course, and if you hold hands with me, we will be together.

But the girl cares and is confessed by the person she likes.

At that age when there was a strong need for emotional resonance, in the days when she was wandering and homeless, she was the most naïve, but the purest.

"Yes."

Shiina Kiri took the girl's small hand and placed it on her thigh, then covered her palms and the backs of her hands.

Confession requires emotion and atmosphere.

Now he is not qualified to confess to her, she is already disappointed in him.

She will stop doing stupid things because she likes it and make him regret it for the rest of her life, and she will let go of her claws for him to catch because she likes it, but she won't accept his confession.

I still like you, but so what.

If you like it, do you have to be together?

If you do something wrong, you should be punished.

In fact, she wanted to punish him for not wanting to see her in his life. But ah, who made her so deceived?

Heading towards Osaka at speeds of up to 285 km/h, the Shinkansen will take the girl out of the city with him and escape from his liking.

……

After the three of them arrived in Osaka, they took the train to Kita Ward, where Aakura's grandfather was located.

The North District is a very good environment, almost a residential area.

It is also home to a number of Japanese universities and enjoys a high academic standard and cultural atmosphere.

Aakura's grandfather was called Yushi Nakano, a rough name, but he himself looked very elegant.

As a family of scholars, several generations have been engaged in the education industry.

So Yushi Nakano couldn't accept his daughter to abandon the marriage contract and run away with an unemployed person.

The words of the parents' order matchmaker are really a bit feudal in this era.

However, since this idiom exists, it naturally makes sense, and the class will solidify the mind, not by virtue of a sentence because of love, which is enough to cross.

Parents, even if not to listen, need to be heard.

Therefore, Megumi Nakano has had a hard time in this life.

The Nakano family is in a villa, and although the house looks a little old, it is a symbol of wealth.

Otherwise, Aakura's father would not have set his sights on Megumi Nakano, and wanted to make Yushi Nakano compromise by having children before marriage, and marry Megumi Nakano to him.

At lunchtime, Shiina Kiri, with the mother and daughter, met Yushi Nakano.

This time it was actually more like a family dinner, but he still followed Aakura Yin with a cheeky face, he wanted to see what kind of person this Nakano Yushi was.

In response, the expressionless-looking Yushi Nakano glanced at him several times.

Several people knelt at the beech table, and there was an old woman sitting beside Yushi Nakano, wearing a light-colored kimono, with a lot of tattoos at the corners of her eyes when she smiled, which should be Aakura Yin's grandmother.

"Xiaohui, this is your favorite taiyaki, which your father bought from Xu Ji this morning."

Nakano Yushi's expression was slightly suffocated, and he glanced at the old wife beside him with some dissatisfaction.

Megumi Nakano seemed to have a sparkling meaning in her eyes, and silently picked up the taiyaki in the bowl and took a bite of the fishtail.

Taiyaki is not fried sea bream, but an old-fashioned dessert that has been around for a while.

Cover the mold with a layer of mixed slurry, then add fillings such as red bean paste and butter, and finally cover it with a layer of slurry and bake it in a sea bream mold.

She hadn't eaten this dessert for more than ten years, and she had almost forgotten that she had ridden her father's neck and grabbed his hair to buy taiyaki when she was a child.

She ate and ate and tears dripped into the bowl.

She thought that her father would not want her, she thought that this time she would be able to come back in the name of her daughter.

Megumi Nakano suddenly noticed that someone was tugging at the corner of her clothes, and when she turned her head, she saw Aakura Yin handing over two tissues.

"Ahh I'm sorry, tone. Mom is... Mom's eyes are in the sand. ”

"Yin, your mother remembered what happened when she was a child. Come, sit down next to Grandma, and Grandma will tell you about your mother's childhood. ”

The old woman beckoned to Aakura and motioned for Asakura to sit next to her.

"Go ahead."

Aakura nodded, walked over to the woman and sat down.

"Xiaohui used to be obedient, but she was very greedy and often pestered your grandfather..."

The two seem to be a bit of a generational relative, but Shiina Kirishi knows that this is the old woman using Megumi Nakano and Yushi Nakano's past to make the family harmonious as before.

As for him...

Who is he?

Shiina Kiri saw Yushi Nakano looking at him, and "subconsciously" shouted "Grandpa".

Yushi Nakano. “？”

His somewhat thick eyebrows were raised directly.

Megumi Nakano stopped crying, and Aakura and the old woman stopped talking and looked at him together.

Shiina fog. “……”

"I... Ahem, I'm Asakura's boyfriend, and Aunt Nakano knows. ”

Shiina Kirishi politely introduced himself.

What is the word of the parent's matchmaker?

It's the 21st century, is it archaeology?

In case this Nakano Yushi feels that he has not done his daughter's marriage contract, he has to take care of Asakura's marriage.

No way, he would never allow this to happen.

He came this time with this in mind, don't be separated for a while, Asakura suddenly has a nominal fiancé.

Although the girl is only in her first year of high school now, what if.

When Yushi Nakano heard his words, his brows were about to stand up.

He looked at Megumi Nakano with a serious expression.

"Little Mist, indeed... Be. ”

Megumi Nakano lowered her head slightly. "I did something wrong and Otoh ran away from home. It was Xiaowu who took in Yin and didn't let Yin be bullied, so he also came this time. ”

Nakano Yushi slapped the table, causing Megumi Nakano to tremble. "What did you do?!"

Shiina Kiri inhaled silently, this was not destined to be a good family feast.

……

Halfway through, Aakura Yin and Shiina Kirishi left the family banquet under the guidance of Asakura's grandmother's eyes.

Leaving Megumi Nakano to be trained alone, but there was an extra grandmother on the side.

The two walked quietly on the roadside road,

Unlike the bustling city of Tokyo, it looks much more down-to-earth.

There are residential buildings everywhere, the streets are not very wide, and there are many power poles on the side of the road.

"Aunt Nakano should be fine, Asakura, you don't have to worry too much."

When Shiina Kiri came out with Asakura, he saw Nakano Yushi get up angrily and take out a two-foot-long thing similar to a ring ruler from under the lesson plan behind him.

Sure enough, there is something in the scholarly family.

I didn't expect Megumi Nakano's daughter to be beaten when she was so old......

But it's okay, beating is kissing and scolding is love, if Yushi Nakano really doesn't care about her, he won't be so angry.

The girl walked ahead on her own, and did not pay any attention to him.

"Asakura."

He reached out and grabbed her wrist.

As for why it's a wrist and not a palm, it's naturally because the kitten has claws.

The girl stopped and looked at him.

"Let go."

Well, I'm still angry.

Although at the family banquet, in the face of Shiina Kiri's shameless self-introduction, the girl did not pierce.

But in private, I still can't be intimate.

"I'll probably have to go back in the afternoon."

Of course, Shiina Kiri couldn't let go, but instead pulled her and continued to walk forward.

The sun in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and the asphalt was still a little stuffy.

The two walked across a small river.

It is said to be a small river, but in fact it is more like a stream, the stream has long since dried up, and there is a smell of silt and decay, which is very unpleasant.

They stopped under an elevated tram because the road they came from and the road ahead were already illuminated by the scorching sun.

"Don't you say something?"

"Say what?"

"Like a kiss... Uh, don't kick me! ”

Shiina Kiri hurriedly dodged sideways, the girl's kick just now was not light, and it was still kicked upward.

He was in a cold sweat.

What.

Shiina Kirishi feels that this kitten's mind has gone wrong, and he won't think about kicking him out, so he can monopolize him!!

"You still want to kiss me?" Aakura looked at him silently, as if she hadn't kicked the kick just now.

"It's okay to hug it."

Shiina Kiri lowered her requirements, only to see that the girl was charging again.

Shiina fog. “？”

"No, I'm going back, maybe I'll see you again after a while."

Aakura's beautiful eyes moved slightly.

"So?"

"So hug it, just hug it."

"No, disgusting."

Shiina fog. “……”

Although, but. It's really sad to say it so clearly.

"Okay."

It would be too humble to ask for it, although he deserved it.

Suddenly, he saw the girl reach out to him.

"What's wrong?"

Shiina fog is a little inexplicable.

"Sugar."

The girl looked at him and said.

"I haven't given it for three days."

"Three days?"

It's been three days since I was caught stealing, and it's been a long time.

The girl didn't say anything more, but she still didn't let go of her little hand.

In this kind of atmosphere, Shiina Kirishi naturally couldn't say anything to take her to a nearby convenience store to buy one.

He spent 1 strategy point to exchange a purple wrapped candy from the system store and placed it in the palm of the girl's hand.

"One?"

The kitten wondered.

"Owe two, I'll give it to you next time I come back to you."

"Oh."

The girl did not refuse.

In fact, she just can't get over the hurdle in her heart, she still likes him.

As for how to get over that hurdle?

Maybe you wake up tomorrow and it's gone, maybe you can't for the rest of your life.

Shiina Kirishi saw that she was going to put the candy in her pocket, and quickly said.

"It's so hot, the candy is easy to melt, so let's eat it."

The girl paused, then tore open the package and licked it into her mouth.

Shiina Kirishi observed her expression, and he smiled bitterly after a short meeting.

"Is it sweet?"

The girl looked at him quietly and did not answer.
