I'm a weird expert in Japan

Chapter 191 Chapter 2 Dissension ()

Seeing his action, Lian thought there was something on the ceiling, but before he could ask, he heard Hesa's angry voice coming from upstairs.

"Don't be ridiculous! This is something you decide on your own! It's always the same! You never ask me!"

The sound still reached downstairs through the ceiling, and it was extremely clear to Lian's hearing.

Then there was a burst of hurried footsteps, and in the blink of an eye, Kazusa was seen coming down from upstairs. She didn't even look over here when she passed the living room door. Behind her was Touma Yoko.

It's just that the pace was not so hurried, he just kept up.

The result of the quarrel was totally unexpected... Lian didn't even know what she talked about with Yoko and her daughter upstairs.

At least there won't be the harmonious atmosphere of the mirror world.

Lian immediately turned around and left the living room and returned to the entrance, where Hesha was hurriedly putting on her shoes.

"Where are you going?" Yaozi's voice sounded a little troubled.

“Don’t worry about it!” Hesha yelled without even turning her head, “You don’t need my opinion anyway!”

"Hesa..." Yoko called her daughter helplessly.

However, Kazusa ignored her and was about to open the door to go out, but her hand was grabbed.

"I've already said it—" Hesha turned around and her words ended abruptly.

It was Lian, not her mother, who held her arm.

I thought he was going to stop me, but he just pointed at the umbrella and said, "Take the umbrella, it's still raining outside... Go to my car, or you can't get in if you get soaked."

"..."

Hesa silently grabbed the umbrella, opened the door and went out. The door closed with a heavy sound that echoed in the empty room.

"Are you Paganini-kun?" Before Lian turned around, she was recognized by Touma Yoko.

"Uh...it's me."

Lian was once again convinced that Touma Yoko in the mirror world and the real world were actually similar.

It's just that the key elements are different.

"You are the one who taught Kazusa to play, right?" Yoko held her arms and frowned slightly. "No matter what kind of relationship you develop with Kazusa, I won't ask, but please don't do unnecessary things like this anymore."

"Huh?" Lian was surprised.

Logically speaking, the mother should be happy about her daughter's improvement in piano skills. Even if she doesn't have to thank her, she should at least treat her politely.

But she never expected to be described as "redundant" by her mother.

"A genius like you has his own system of playing. Your sensitivity to music belongs only to you. If she learns even this kind of conscious level from you, then she will only be a third- or fourth-rate pianist in the future, fit only to accompany violinists."

“…Is it that serious…” Lian was slightly surprised.

He had neither a systematic teaching theory nor sympathy for those with less talent.

Therefore, Touma Yoko's "warning" also makes sense to him.

"Ah, it seems I was too harsh." However, Touma Yoko changed her words and smiled apologetically, "But what I said just now was indeed my original intention, but it was a bit strange."

"fine……"

When discussing music, Lian would listen with the most tolerant attitude, no matter how harshly the criticism was made.

"And I do need to thank you." Yoko said, "I listened to the performance that the kid performed in the competition. At least compared to his previous performances, there was a little more heart in his performance."

"Heart?"

"Yes, that must be what you gave to the child." Yaozi smiled.

"You're too kind." Lian had to be polite.

On the one hand, he said that Lian's actions were unnecessary, but on the other hand, he highly praised Lian's guidance to Hesha.

Lian was at a loss as to how to deal with this kind of black-and-white evaluation method.

"And then... I didn't explain myself clearly just now, so she misunderstood something and you saw the scene of the loss of composure." Yoko sighed softly, "I'll trouble you a little bit from now on. If I continue to follow her, I will completely provoke the child's emotions."

"I think so too..." Lian smiled bitterly and glanced at Yoko and Sakuraba Hideyuki who was standing behind him, "Then I won't bother you any more."

After he bowed slightly and said goodbye, he opened the door and left Touma's house.

His body turned into mist and merged into the rain before returning to the car.

"What are you talking about? Why did you take so long to come out?"

Hesha was not surprised by Lian's sudden appearance in the carriage, she just asked.

"Nothing, just a few pleasantries." Lian touched the tip of his nose.

He had no idea how to explain what had just happened. It was obvious that Touma Yoko's words were directed at Ren, and Kazusa became the subject of the conversation rather than the recipient.

"Really?" Kazusa leaned back in the chair.

"Why are you quarreling all of a sudden? Weren't you guys fine before?"

"How do you know it's fine?"

"Because I at least talked to your... uh, stepfather? down there for several minutes."

Kazusa glared at Lian fiercely, "I don't remember having a stepfather."

"Okay, okay." Lian raised her hand.

Personally, he is not in a position to comment on such matters.

There is a strong sense of mystery surrounding Sakuraba Hideyuki, but unlike the "unknown origin" of Oshino Ogi, it is closer to the feeling of "unknown".

At least there is no ill will, at least not an enemy.

Lian didn't know whether he could be a suitable stepfather.

"Anyway, we were just chatting, and suddenly I heard you and your mother quarreling..."

Although no matter how you look at it, it seems like Hesha's outburst was unilateral.

"It's that person again..." Kazusa frowned, "He said something without my permission again, saying that he would take me away from Japan after the summer vacation."

"Huh?" Lian was startled.

"He also said something like this is the place I've always dreamed of."

"Really? You don't want to go."

"...I don't know." Hesha grabbed her trouser leg, "I just feel uncomfortable. Why does she always make decisions about me on her own? She doesn't take me with her if she says she won't take me with her, and she takes me away if she says she wants to. Am I just an object to her?"

"Haven't you already understood it before?"

"The one who understood was Touma Yoko over there..." Kazusa snorted, "I almost thought that the real Touma Yoko was also so sensible."

"Wow..." Lian exclaimed softly.

They are indeed mother and daughter. Although they look similar to outsiders, they are completely different in her eyes.

"So you mean you won't go home yet?"

"..."

If she doesn't go home, Hesa ​​actually has nowhere to go.

"Well... I'll discuss it with Zhenfei later. You can stay at their house until the final exams are over." Lian thought for a moment and said, "It looks like your mother will be staying in Japan for a while. Before that, wait until you calm down."

"Um……"

"It would be weird to go back now, let's go somewhere." Lian smiled, "I know what someone is doing, wanna join in the fun?"

"casual."

Chapter 192: Chapter 1: Seaside ()

"Where is this?"

About forty minutes after leaving the vicinity of home, Lian's car stopped at the coast, and this was the first sentence Hesha said after getting out of the car.

The heavy rain has stopped, but the dark clouds that have not yet completely retreated remain in the sky, dyed orange by the setting sun.

"On the west coast of Tokyo Bay, this should be in Chiba Prefecture... it should be..." Lian spread his hands uncertainly, "I followed the navigation. If I'm wrong, then so be it."

"Oh……"

Hesha left the car, walked a few steps to the side of the parking lot, and stood on the embankment. From here she could see that there were still some tourists playing at the beach who had not left.

This area is Chiba's seaside scenic area, and you can always see food and entertainment stores such as Sea House wherever you look.

Midsummer is approaching, and this place will usher in the busiest season of the year.

"Let's go, stop watching and go downstairs and take a look." Lian waved his hand, "I wonder if those two guys have left."

"Eh? What…"

Hesha was stunned for a moment. Even if it was rare... everyone who came here wore a swimsuit, and there was always an indescribable sense of incongruity when she was mixed in with them in casual clothes.

But seeing Lian walking down so arrogance, she had no choice but to follow.

Hesha could guess who Lian was talking about, but it was almost dark and he still wanted to join in the fun. He was really boring.

Of course, I was also bored if I didn't reject his proposal.

A bored boy and a bored girl, what an extremely boring combination.

Hesa complained in her heart as she walked down the stairs, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

The anger that I had previously felt towards my mother was now dissipated a lot by the evening sea breeze.

As I walked down the stairs, my steps became lighter involuntarily.

When we went down to the beach, the sand was a little bit solid after the rain. Every step we took would cause our shoes to step on us, and we would even get caught in the gaps between our shoes and socks, and even get caught on our calves.

However, it didn't matter. Hesha followed Lian and walked aimlessly among the gradually decreasing number of beach tourists.

She often skipped classes to go out and play, but never once thought of coming to the beach.

On the one hand, there were too many people, and on the other hand, I didn’t want to wear a swimsuit.

In the end, it really is no fun to come alone.

Suddenly, a hand blocked her steps. Hesha came to her senses and realized it was Lian's arm.

"Wait a minute—" Lian smiled at her and pointed to the front with his chin.

There were lounge chairs and beach cloths under a parasol, and next to the rest area, a teenager in a white sun-protective suit was building a sand castle with a blonde girl in a red bikini.

Without a doubt, it's Shinomiya Shinobi and Sawamura Spencer Eriri.

"What? Aren't you here to see them?" Hesha asked.

"It's a bit boring to just go there -" Lian looked around. There were not many people around at the moment. "Scare them a little."

"Huh? How do you scare them? Are you going to destroy their castle with one kick?" Hesa ​​immediately thought of a rather ridiculous idea.

"Stop it, they'll kill people." Lian said seriously, "Compared to destroying it, not being able to destroy it is more serious."

"Oh."

Hesha stopped and looked at the two people five or six meters away, and Lian, who snapped her fingers and turned into a ball of white mist and appeared on the sand castle in an instant.

"Uh oh——!"

The two people who were concentrating on building a sand castle together were frightened and screamed so loudly that Kazusa almost wanted to cover her ears.

After all, someone suddenly appeared above, and it must have been crushed in an instant.

Of course, the opposite is true.

"Yo——" Lian lowered his head and waved his fingers together at the two people.

Shizhu was stunned for a long moment before he took a deep breath and yelled, "Evolte——!"

"...As expected of you, your reaction is very appropriate." Lian jumped lightly and jumped down from the sand castle to the side. The castle was intact without any damage left.

Seeing the ripples opening, Eriri immediately carefully checked the condition of the castle and said casually, "Aren't you at home studying for your final exams? Do you still have time to come to the beach?"
