My love index is at its maximum.

"Can someone who writes a diary be a decent person?" Tsukasa Tazaki asked with a smug look on his face, stretching out his legs under the table. "Did this father do something to betray Mommy with the tuna girl?"

"That's not the point..." Yui Kichikawa's head, still feeling sleep-deprived, started to spin.

She rubbed her temples for a long time before letting out a helpless sigh: "You attend classes diligently every day, play around with your classmates, and spend your weekends at the market buying ingredients and running your restaurant for two days. Although you seem very busy, you are very lost at the crossroads of your life. One evening, as you were running hard in the sunset, you decided to search for your father's secret from his youth."

Tazaki Tsukasa took a big bite of the beef patty, his eyes fixed on the delicate silver necklace that shone from the blonde girl's collar. It was a cheap necklace that the original owner had bought after running around several streets for less than a thousand yen on her tenth birthday, and it looked very elegant on her delicate neck.

No.

Elegant my foot, it's not pretty at all.

That's absolutely tacky!

With a beef patty firmly in his mouth, Tsukasa Tazaki asked, "And then I went to Aomori Prefecture?"

Yui Kikawa nodded: "After spending some time searching alone in Aomori Prefecture, you found a girl at the port who looked exactly like the tuna girl in the photo. You were excited, so you went up to talk to her..."

"Little sister, I am your long-lost brother!"

"..." Yui Kikawa stared at him with icy eyes, "Tsukasa Tazaki!"

"It's very touching, isn't it?" Tsukasa Tazaki shrugged and exaggeratedly said, "The reunion of siblings who have never met before must be very moving. It might even become a hit."

"In the script, the male and female leads meet and develop feelings for each other. During this process, the male lead gradually becomes more determined to inherit the restaurant. Before leaving, the two work together to catch a king tuna. That night, they confess their feelings on a moonlit beach and make a promise to meet again in Tokyo!"

"Isn't that perfect?" Tazaki raised an eyebrow. "Lovers in the world will eventually become siblings."

Kikawa Yui looked at him expressionlessly, "Since you have an idea, then you can design the script!"

Feeling a little intimidated by her murderous glare, Tsukasa Tazaki glanced out the window and said dismissively, "I was just joking..."

Two very young children walked past the glass window; they appeared to be a brother and sister.

The older brother held his younger sister's hand, and the younger sister was blowing bubbles. Their small figures were bathed in sunlight, and the narrow slope stretched straight ahead.

Kikawa Yui stared at his profile for a long time, a complex expression indescribable on her face.

Her childhood playmate underwent a dramatic transformation in a short period of time, almost as if he had been given a completely different soul. This change made her both happy for him and also harbored a hint of resentment that she didn't want outsiders to see.

What comes to mind when you think back to your childhood?

She suddenly asked a question.

Tazaki Tsukasa turned around and picked up the cup; he had already finished the coffee inside. He then picked up the cup that had originally been for Kuriyama Sakura and took a big gulp.

After swallowing his coffee, he replied, "The insignificance and desolation of my own existence."

Yui Kikawa continued, "What else?"

After a moment's thought, Tsukasa Tazaki said, "The first time you practiced kendo, your wrist was swollen. You put ice on it, cried, and swung your bamboo sword."

"How did you know?" Yui Kirikawa asked, her expression incredulous.

"I happened to be peeking from outside the door at that time."

Qichuan Wei looked at him coldly, gritting her teeth: "Shameless!"

“I’ve only seen you cry once.” Tsukasa Tazaki shook his head and smiled, then slowly leaned back on the sofa. “The way you swung your sword while crying gave me an extremely grand feeling. How should I put it? It was as if every strike could leave a significant mark on human history.”

“Exaggeration…” Qichuan Wei uttered two words in a low voice, looking at him with a blank expression.

After three or four seconds, she came to her senses, and her delicate face contorted sharply, like a window sill shaking violently during the Tokyo earthquake.

Tazaki glanced sideways at the change in her expression.

In my memory, it was from that time that the blonde girl's expressions began to disappear one by one; she stopped crying, making a fuss, and laughing. In just four or five years, she slowly transformed from a lively and adorable girl into the wind-up mechanical doll she is today.

"It's about time we went." Yui Kichikawa's expression returned to calm as she began packing her things.

"To the seafood section?"

"Correct."

Qichuan Wei nodded, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and her precise footsteps slowly began to sound.

Tazaki Tsukasa went to the counter to pay, and she stood quietly at the door for a while. Her eyes weren't looking at the scenery outside, nor at the interior of the room, nor at him; it felt as if she were looking at the spherical door handle or the tip of her own shoe.

After leaving the coffee shop, the two walked towards the intersection of the commercial street.

The long-awaited sun warmly illuminated the Harajuku street scene, making it as clear and bright as if a fresh and clear filter had been added, with even the tips of every green tree leaf shimmering with a leaping green light.

As I walked down the gentle slope and turned the corner, I spotted a familiar Cullinan parked there, with a secretary in a black suit standing in front of it.

"Greetings, Miss. Greetings, Young Master Tazaki."

The secretary respectfully called out and opened the car door.

Tsukasa Tazaki also has the title of young master in the Kikawa family, although it is somewhat undeserved, which shows that in the eyes of these employees, kung fu is still a must.

The two of them climbed into the back seat together and sat apart. The air conditioning was quiet and gentle, and the carpet under their feet was soft.

After seeing that the two were fully seated, the secretary closed the door and then climbed into the driver's seat to close it herself.

It made a "buzzing" sound.

It was the sound of the engine, very faint, like flipping through a deck of cards. The interior was as quiet as if you were wearing headphones and sinking to the bottom of a lake.

The sound insulation of luxury cars is astonishing.

While pondering the cost of the car, Tsukasa Tazaki glanced at Yui Kikawa.

She was leaning back in her chair with her eyes closed, her eyelashes fluttering down like the leaves of a mimosa tree, and a few strands of golden hair falling across her forehead swaying slightly as the car moved forward—her image was flawless, exuding a captivating charm.

Upon arriving at the fisheries department, after getting out of the car, Yui Kikawa stretched slightly.

As her arms stretched upwards, the delicate, finely cinched waist ribbon accentuated her figure, making her incredibly alluring and suggestive.

Tsukasa Tazaki's gaze swept from her waist down to her ever-present white pantyhose.

She's always been active, so her legs are long, shapely, and very pleasing to the eye. Even through the pantyhose, you can imagine how firm and bouncy the flesh underneath must feel.

Compared to Kuriyama Sakura's legs, I don't know which one feels better to touch...

Tazaki Tsukasa, lost in a jumble of thoughts, followed her through the doors of the Fisheries Department.

"And you two are?"

The receptionist behind the counter looked up and, after seeing who it was, was somewhat surprised by the boy's handsomeness and the girl's beauty.

“We are students from the private Kitagawa Academy.” Yui Kikawa showed her student ID. “We’re here to check some seafood sales data.”

The receptionist politely said, "It's in the archives room on the third floor. Just go up and find the staff there."

"Thank you."

Qichuan Yui checked the time: 9:50.

The two went to the archives, randomly picked out a few documents, and asked the staff to make copies to take with them. When they came down to the lobby, it was exactly ten o'clock.

A middle-aged man with a slightly bald head walked in through the main entrance.

Yui Kikawa stepped forward and spoke a few words with him, then asked Tsukasa Tazaki to come over so the three of them could take a group photo. Afterwards, they left the Fisheries Department and headed straight for the nearest Sony store.

As the temperature gradually rose, the two walked in the sun for a while and passed by a vending machine.

Tsukasa Tazaki took out his wallet and bought two bottles of marble soda.

The change jingled as it fell.

Handing the water-covered soda bottle to Yui Kizaki, Tsukasa Tazaki asked in confusion, "Who was that person just now?"

Yui Kichikawa wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Director of the Fisheries Agency, I asked around last night and he will be back at work at ten o'clock today."

"So he's a high-ranking official. Are you planning to develop that photo and hang it on the wall?"

"A photo isn't necessarily something to look at. When it's used to fool people, it's no longer a photo, but a business card."

"Oh, I understand."

Tazaki Tsukasa nodded in sudden realization: "It's just like a cucumber. Eating it and using it are two completely different things."

Cucumber...for?

Kikawa Yui looked at him in disbelief, the taste of marble soda still lingering on her slightly parted cherry-colored lips.

Even a girl with no personality traits can still make expressions...

Tazaki Tsukasa unscrewed the bottle cap with satisfaction.

With a "bang".

As white mist billowed out, the wind blew their hair around.

Chapter 135 The Boy Tazaki's Brain Fizzles

Ding-ling-dang-lang.

The doorbell rang once, and two high school students came in.

The female sales assistant adjusted her glasses and smiled at the customer as if she were doing a toothpaste commercial: "Welcome! How can I help you?"

She wore a white shirt as white as the first snow, and her hair was neatly combed.

She's quite pretty, and it's easy for men to develop feelings for her, leading them to spend a lot of money through her.

Tazaki glanced at her, then walked towards the merchandise display area. He knew three beautiful older women, and his taste in appreciating beauty had become much more discerning. Compared to the saleswomen, the dazzling array of photography equipment was more appealing to him.

Kikawa Yui walked over and explained the purpose of her visit.

"Well... how should I put it?" The sales assistant lightly touched her glasses frame with her index finger. "Even renting a set of photography equipment isn't cheap..."

She stopped there.

Kikawa Yui didn't respond, waiting for her to continue, but there was no follow-up.

The sales assistant held her breath, pondered for a long time, and her smile gradually disappeared.

"Excuse me, please wait a moment." With that, she retreated into the back room. About 30 seconds later, she returned with a man in his forties wearing a black uniform and a manager's badge around his neck.

Tsukasa Tazaki looked around the merchandise display cases, then left and then right. When he came across something that interested him, he would stop and carefully examine the equipment on display.

He wasn't really interested in photography; he was only interested in gadgets. It's like how most men can't operate an excavator, but they still like them.

Especially since this was a Sony store, and all he could see were the four letters "SONY," he felt an urge to shout "Sony is the best!"

I could hear Yui Kikawa and the shop manager talking all the time.
