Chapter 534 Family Harmony
After a day of rain, it finally stopped in the evening. The sky was still gloomy, and the heavy clouds made people dare not let go of their umbrellas. In the drainage ditches on both sides of the road, the water flow was very clear, and the cherry blossoms mixed with the water flow and moved towards the huge palace under the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
Those should really be the last cherry blossoms of this year, standing in front of the Ruyi Liao Gate, Hojo Kyosuke thought as he looked at the drainage ditches in the corner. For a moment, he actually had the idea of becoming a little man and riding the fallen leaves and cherry blossoms to drift in the drainage ditches.
It must be very interesting, but you have to find a leaf that is big and solid enough, otherwise it can't accommodate so many people. Loquat leaves are good.
Thinking of this, he said goodbye to the driver Hirata and opened the door.
"I'm going back..."
"Welcome home, Onii-chan~~"
Before Hojo Kyosuke finished speaking, he was interrupted by the little one standing at the entrance.
Noticing her brother's gaze, Hojo Kashiko raised her little arms and turned around in place, showing off her beautiful new clothes. Although the little girl is still young, she is born with a love of beauty.
Kashiko was wearing a red and white kimono, which was not very delicate, but cute enough. The red and white color combination has been a classic since ancient times, and she looked like a little elf.
When her sister turned, the hem of the round-necked kimono floated up gently, making her even cuter.
"Oh, where did this little fairy come from? What a beautiful dress. I want to buy it for Kashiko too."
Hojo Kyosuke squatted down and said in an extremely exaggerated tone. For a mature girl, you have to praise her carefully and think hard to point out her advantages. For a stupid and smart little one, just showing the same level of stupidity as her is enough to make her happy.
"Hahaha~~ It's me, Onii-chan, I am Kashiko, Kashiko has put on beautiful new clothes."
The little girl smiled even more happily, opened her arms and rushed towards her brother. My brother is the best brother in the world. Although he didn't recognize me because I became too beautiful, he still wanted to buy me nice clothes as soon as he saw them.
"Huh!? Sorry, sorry, I didn't recognize you because you became too cute. Is this the new clothes that Naoka made for you?" Hojo Kyosuke hugged his sister and took off his shoes with his feet. He walked to the entrance while talking.
"Yeah! Sister Mitsuha, Sister Yukino and Sister Miki all helped." Leaning on his brother's arms, Kashiko nodded repeatedly.
What my brother said was right. As long as I call my beautiful sister more often, I will get a lot of benefits. Today, I really saw the reward. But Eriri is really stupid. She can't do anything except snatch food from me. Alas...
Fortunately, I didn't call her sister.
"At noon, Kashiko wanted to go find her brother and show him my new clothes, but mom said her brother was doing something important, so Kashiko waited obediently. It was very difficult to wait. The heavy rain turned into light rain, and then the light rain stopped, and then her brother came back."
Holding her brother's neck, Kashiko complained softly, with a hint of grievance in her childish voice.
"Ah, sorry, sorry, it's not easy, Kashiko!" Looking at his well-behaved and lovely sister, Hojo Kyosuke's heart was melted by cuteness, and he unconsciously used a tone that only appeared when facing cute little animals.
"Hehe~~ It's okay, it's okay, there's nothing we can do. After all, Kashiko doesn't know what to do except wait for her brother to come back~"
"Then is she cheering for her brother?"
"Of course! Kashiko cheered for her brother when Eriri was watching cartoons, Kashiko cheered for her brother when Eriri was drooling at Kashiko's new clothes, Kashiko cheered for her brother when Eriri was sleeping and dreaming, Kashiko cheered for her brother when Eriri was shouting that she was hungry..."
The little girl kept counting her words one by one like she was reciting a poem.
Eriri, who was lying on the sofa and looking over here, had her eyes almost popping out, and her mouth was wide open enough to fit two eggs.
Am I hallucinating? In fact, Kashiko's sister didn't keep saying my name. After all, the woman in Kasumigaoka didn't do anything, and Sakura kept making trouble. On the contrary, she kept making plans on the side. The dried fish girl in Kashiko's sister's mouth shouldn't be me anyway, right?
Yes, it must be like this. Sister Kashiko should be reporting my contribution to Kyosuke. After all, when everyone was busy making clothes for her, I was the one who accompanied her, watched cartoons with her, took naps with her, found snacks for her, and even went to see koi with her in the rain with an umbrella. I generously gave her the right to rename a fish.
I am simply the best sister in the world!
Eriri was thinking this when she heard the little thing in Kyosuke's arms sigh heavily.
"Ah~~"
"But Eriri is still very cute..."
The little girl Kashiko is really kind. She understood the true meaning of the world at the age of two. If a boy is really useless, she will praise him for being honest. If a girl is really hard to describe, she will praise her for being cute.
Look, the girl who was almost crazy before will immediately smile happily.
This is true. It's worth it for me to be so good to her.
Eriri smiled and called out sweetly to Hojo Kyosuke:
"Welcome home, Kyosuke~~"
"Yeah, I'm back." Hojo Kyosuke smiled back with sweat on his forehead.
He vaguely saw the shadows of Sakura and his mother in his younger sisters, Kaseko and Eri.
Yukino and Miki were busy in the kitchen, but now they also came out, one took Hojo Kyosuke's bag and the other took his coat.
Everyone else was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV, playing with their mobile phones, or reading books, all in harmony and beauty.
What's interesting is that although everyone was worried about the outcome of Hojo Kyosuke's trip today, now no one has asked. Only Mitsuha asked, "Is it cold outside?"
The girl seemed to be deeply impressed by the coldness of the spring rain in Tokyo, and was worried about Kyosuke Hojo getting cold.
Although she knew the strength of that body very well, who told Hojo Kyousuke to immediately put on more clothes whenever the weather changed? In the years when the two of them swapped bodies, Mitsuha can guarantee that Hojo Kyosuke was definitely the first person in Tokyo to wear a down jacket in winter.
As for the people around him, he insists on wearing sweatpants in winter. Well, he wears sweatpants under the school uniform skirt, and wears thermal pants under the sweatpants. How to keep warm.
Many schools in Neon allow girls to wear this kind of clothing. The mandatory wearing of skirts is very suspected of sexual harassment. If they are even prohibited from wearing pants under skirts, they should be slapped hard. Of course, most girls are still unwilling to accept such ugly dressing methods for the sake of beauty.
"I don't feel anything. It's probably because things went so well and I felt so good that my body temperature has risen." Hojo Kyosuke explained with a smile.
"Can someone feel relieved now?"
Hearing Hojo Kyousuke's words, Kasumigaoka felt relieved and then raised his voice.
"Who is worried? I think you couldn't wait to ask as soon as you came back from Kyosuke!" Eirili immediately retorted, and then she didn't bother with her, but turned to Hojo Kyosuke and said:
"Tell me, tell me. What was Editor Shimomura's reaction after seeing the comics?"
Sakura watched with interest. It was exactly what Mitsuha said. When it came to trusting Kyosuke, Eiri was as good as herself. The moment she saw Kyosuke come back, Eiri's uneasiness completely disappeared. , worthy of blind trust.
"Is there any surprise if Egoist and Lily collaborate again?"
Hojo Kyousuke, who originally wanted to change clothes, had no choice but to sit down at the dining table, took the water glass handed over by senior Shiba, and began to tell everyone about today's experience. He doesn't find it troublesome. Someone cares about what you have gone through outside. There is nothing more relaxing than this.
"...Indeed, if it is a romance manga, Eri Kashiwagi's gorgeous and delicate painting style will be very advantageous. After all, she only has so many redeeming qualities."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu crossed his arms on his chest and said thoughtfully. She has carefully read every one of Eiri's works since her debut. Although the later doujinshis have some passable plots, they mainly rely on the gorgeous painting style and touching details to win.
Although she said sarcastic words, she actually admired Yinglili. After all, there are countless painters who are terrible at drawing but rely on plot to win. But it is not an easy thing to make readers obediently pay money just by relying on their drawing skills. As a genius, she clearly knows that it is extremely lucky to be able to achieve the pinnacle of one thing in one's life. Yinglili is walking on a straight road to the end.
"Hmph, I'm different from that guy who relies on words to deceive people into crying. Only pictures can't deceive humans! Kissing is kissing, that's what it is! Live an honest life, write, draw, and read as benevolence and righteousness, This is how I, Yinglili, behave!”
The blonde princess groaned, her expression and tone were full of pride.
"To be able to talk about painting things so confidently, you really deserve to be the king of books."
The conversation between the two instantly filled the air with joy.
"What, what? Are you going to change your name to be the same as "As expected of me"? "
Suddenly, a milky voice came out. It was Kashiko Hojo who had been sitting in his brother's arms.
"Well……"
The pride on Yinglili's face froze instantly, and Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't fare much better.
Oops, I forgot about this little thing.
Fortunately, Mikiko Hojo came to the rescue at the critical moment.
"How about we go together and ask Sister Zhihua to come for dinner? She has had a hard day."
"good!!"
Although he was reluctant to let go of his brother's warm embrace, Kashiko did not want to neglect the great hero Ueno Naoka.
Hojo Kyosuke also followed behind to take a look at his royal dressmaker.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard the sound of a sewing machine and a continuous female voice:
“Sewing sewing sewing…”
I saw Naohua leaning against her head, pressing the bright fabric with her hands and sliding under the needle of the sewing machine. She kept muttering in her mouth. For those who didn't know, she thought she was sprinting towards the end of the semester.
"Because Mitsuba remembered that Kashiko would be celebrating Girls' Day next year, Naoka said that she would take this opportunity to help Kashiko prepare her clothes, and then everyone worked together for the whole day." Hojo Mikiko said to her son.
Hojo Kyosuke knew it, no wonder he would make clothes for his sister first.
Hinamatsuri (Hina Matsuri), March 3rd. Because every time at this time, families with girls at home will place exquisitely crafted and gorgeous palace costume dolls in front of the hall to wish the girls healthy growth, safety and happiness, so it is also called the Doll Festival.
Well, there is no need to doubt that this traditional festival is of course borrowed from the Chinese people next door. In the Tang Dynasty, girls would hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony on this day, that is, "Shangsi Daughter's Day". Then the Neon people's custom changed, and girls aged three, five and seven years old would celebrate Daughter's Day on this day. .
Kashiko will celebrate her first Girls' Day next year, so now is the perfect time to prepare clothes. Children's kimonos are much simpler than those for adults, so Mitsuha and several other girls who are good at kimono worked together to complete it in one day.
Hojo Kyosuke walked into the workroom and woke up Naoka, who seemed to have fallen into an "epiphany" but was actually a demon. He told her that even if she didn't complete the task today, he would not put her in a small dark room. After a while of love punches, she was truthful again. The answer was about my feelings about wearing a suit today.
"It's perfect. The thickness is right. Even if the weather is very humid, it doesn't feel sticky to the body. It's perfect. I think I can already take more orders!" He gave a thumbs up. Last time he wore the suit that Zhihua had sewn for him. After the appearance of the Honya Grand Prize Award Ceremony, some people already knew about Naoka's clothing store under the operation of Tetsuta Kirisaki.
"Without that kind of effort, we are still busy with online orders."
Zhihua was complaining, but she was smiling brightly. From having to work every day after school, to now you can make a steady stream of money just by sitting in front of a sewing machine and doing what you like. This is a happy worry!
Hojo Kyo also smiled with satisfaction.
After dinner, Hojo Kyousuke went out for a walk with his family. After being bored at home for a day, the adults, who had books and electronic devices to relieve their boredom, had a lot of fun. Kashiko seemed a little sleepy. Walking out the door, breathing in the earthy air after the rain, I coughed twice, but I looked extremely happy.
I walked along the way, passed several schools and private schools nearby, and saw the candidates who were still studying hard. I walked through the sports park next to it and saw the furry children rolling in the mud grass. I walked past Mitsuha Miyamizu's house and said goodbye to Mitsuha. I also comforted Mitsuha, who really wanted to skip class and play with her, and told her that the new kimono was hers too. He also promised her that he would help her build an online shrine next time.
