Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

"Okay, okay, just keep your grades up." Momonogi Eiko spoke up to smooth things over.

"Mom doesn't expect you to be as good as Lin."

Chapter 109 It’s all up to you

After dinner, Momonogi, her mother and her two daughters sat on the sofa in the living room, watching TV and chatting about family matters.

While her mother and sister were not paying attention, Shimizu Ai sneaked into the kitchen and made a bowl of instant noodles.

"Ai, are you hungry?" Shimizu Rin glanced from the living room and looked at Shimizu Ai who had just walked out of the kitchen.

"no……"

Shimizu Ai's hand holding the cup of noodles trembled guiltily, and she hesitantly explained, "I was greedy, and suddenly I wanted to eat cup noodles, so I made a bowl."

"Mom, Ona-chan, I'm going back to my room!"

After saying this, Shimizu Ai went up to the second floor on the stairs.

At the same time, in Fujii Itsuki's bedroom on the second floor.

Sitting at the desk, Fujii Itsuki held the phone to his ear in one hand and flexibly turned the oil pen with the other hand.

"If I climb Mount Fuji first, the rest of the trip might be a bit tiring."

"And you need a mountaineering permit to climb the mountain, and you need to prepare warm clothes, trekking poles, knee pads, altitude sickness medicine, and so on."

He spoke patiently to Ogihara Saki on the other end of the phone.

"Ah? What a trouble..." Ogihara Saki sat on the bed, and her yearning for Mount Fuji was suddenly dispelled.

She held the phone in one slender hand and hugged her fair and well-proportioned thigh with the other, and said softly, "Fujii-kun, let's take a few photos at the foot of the mountain."

"As for Mount Fuji, you can also see it from Shin-Fuji Station in Tokyo, so let's focus on other scenery in Shizuoka Prefecture."

"Yeah." Fujii Itsuki responded, and then said: "Then let's go to the hot springs. The hot spring hotels in Shizuoka are said to be very good."

"Hey, let's take a... hot spring bath?" Ogihara Saki seemed to have thought of something and her pretty face suddenly turned red.

Fujii Itsuki knew what was in her mind, so he said seriously, "Don't think too much. If you don't want to take a private bath with me, you can go to the women's bath."

"It's...it's not that I'm unwilling..." Ogihara Saki's pretty face was rosy, her two white and slender thighs were slightly tightened, and she spoke softly into the phone.

Since she had decided to go to Shizuoka Prefecture for three days and two nights with Fujii Itsuki, she had naturally made preparations in that regard.

"That's settled then." Fujii Itsuki raised the corner of his mouth, then changed the subject and asked softly, "By the way, Ogiwara, have you informed Aunt Ayako?"

After these words were spoken, Ogihara Saki on the other end of the phone paused for half a minute before responding.

"Are you planning to do this first and ask for her advice later, and then explain it to her when you come back on Sunday night?" Fujii Itsuki said unhappily.

"No, I just wasn't sure I could convince my mother, so I kept putting it off and didn't tell her." Ogihara Saki's voice became embarrassed.

"…So you plan to delay until what minute before departure?"

Fujii Itsuki frowned slightly, "You guy, I've already prepared a travel guide!"

"I'm sorry, Fujii-kun..." Ogihara Saki apologized repeatedly and explained softly, "I actually wanted to go with Fujii-kun to ask my mother about traveling."

"Can't you just say it yourself? You can just wait until she gets off work and then mention it."

"I... I don't dare..." The cowardly atmosphere in Ogiwara Saki almost penetrated through the screen to Fujii Itsuki.

"Please, please, Fujii-kun is the best~" She blushed and acted coquettishly towards Fujii Itsuki.

If the two were facing each other, I believe Ogiwara Saki would have already thrown herself into Fujii Itsuki's arms.

"When we get to the hot spring hotel in Shizuoka, I will definitely thank Fujii-kun..."

"Thank you very much?!"

"Cough——" Fujii Itsuki coughed lightly and instantly perked up.

"How grateful are you?"

Ogihara Saki's pretty face looked like it was about to bleed, and even her neck was dyed crimson. She stammered, "I, I depend on Fujii-kun."

"That's what you said!" Fujii Itsuki smiled slightly.

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow morning to ask Aunt Ayako about the trip."

"Click——"

As we were chatting, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Fujii Itsuki glanced at the newcomer and continued to talk to Ogihara Saki on the phone: "In that case, I'll book a hot spring hotel in Shimizu."

"Shimizu?"

"What water?"

Shimizu Ai walked in with cup noodles in both hands and a bag of potato chips in her arms and blinked her big eyes in confusion.

Until I heard Fujii Itsuki say: "Shimizu is the hometown of Chibi Maruko-chan. We can go to the Chibi Maruko-chan theme park."

"So it's Shimizu City in Shizuoka Prefecture..."

Fortunately, Shimizu Ai was good at geography and understood it instantly.

"Well, that's it. See you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Fujii Itsuki looked up at the girl with black twin pigtails standing next to him.

"Why are you here with me if you're not going to chat with your dear mother and sister?"

“…Actually, Onii-chan is also Ai’s darling!” Shimizu Ai showed a lovely smile and said with a smile: “You can’t favor one over the other!”

She put the cup noodles and potato chips on Fujii Itsuki's desk.

"Onii-chan didn't come down to eat just now, so I made you some instant noodles to fill your stomach first."

"If Onii-chan needs anything, Ai can help you buy a bento at the convenience store."

Hearing her friendly and flattering voice, Fujii Itsuki first glanced at the steaming cup of noodles on the table, and then looked at Shimizu Ai's pretty face with a bright smile.

"No need to borrow money..." He uttered these words lightly.

"What? Who do you think Ai is, Onii-chan?" Shimizu Ai immediately pouted her lips in grievance.

"Before I borrowed money, didn't Ai Yi still serve tea, water, wash clothes and cook for Onii-chan every day?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Fujii Itsuki looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't want to say anything. I was just worried that Onii-chan would be hungry, so I made a bowl of instant noodles for you."

"and then?"

"And the living room is too boring. I want to stay here with Onii-chan for a while."

"Heh——" Fujii Itsuki suddenly sneered.

"Aren't you worried that your mother will find out?"

"..." Shimizu Ai fell silent and was speechless.

"You can stay here, but take the noodles back. I'm not hungry." Fujii Itsuki said lightly.

Hearing the distant tone in his voice, Shimizu Ai's twin ponytails drooped down, and her heart felt as if mixed with mixed feelings.

Walking in the corridor holding a cup of noodles, Shimizu Ai stood at the escalator on the second floor and looked at the living room downstairs.

Looking at her mother Momonogi Eiko and sister Shimizu Rin chatting and laughing, she was a little confused for a moment.

"Why do mom and sister reject Onii-chan so much?"

"We can definitely get along well as a family..."

It’s so nerve-wracking!

The questions that I couldn't ask stayed on my lips, and the feeling of having no one to talk to kept squeezing my chest.

Chapter 110 Growth (Thanks to the certification of [I like White Tiger!])

The next morning, Momonogi Eiko got up early and kept an eye on the stock market news on the mobile app. She even kept looking at her phone when she went to the toilet.

The trading hours of the Japanese stock market are weekdays from Monday to Friday.

But today is Saturday and securities trading is not allowed, so she urged Kuroda Yoshiko to buy the company's stocks yesterday afternoon, otherwise two days would be wasted.

“Slurp—”

The toilet was flushing.

Momonogi Eiko closed the toilet lid, stood in front of the bathroom mirror to wash up, opened the door, and walked out while looking down at the colorful numbers jumping on the screen of her mobile phone.

Because her attention was focused on the mobile phone screen, she almost bumped into the boy who had been waiting at the toilet door for a while.

Raising her head and looking at the young and handsome face, Momonogi Eiko said nothing and walked straight to her room.

Fujii Itsuki obviously had no intention of greeting her. He glanced at Momonogi Eiko's phone screen, passed her by and went into the bathroom.

"Click."

After closing the door, Fujii Itsuki squeezed some toothpaste onto the toothbrush and while brushing his teeth, he thought about what he had just seen on Momonogi Eiko's phone.

Even though he didn't know much about economics and finance, he knew that it was stock data.

"So Aunt Momonogi is investing in stocks?"

Fujii Itsuki raised his eyebrows slightly.

It is normal for a section manager in a cosmetics company who is in his thirties and has some spare money to invest in stocks.

You should know that before the Great Depression, the proportion of individual shareholding in Japan, also known as individual investors, also known as "retail investors", once reached an astonishing 38%.

Although this ratio has continued to decline after the economic bubble, the number of personal securities accounts in Japan is still 3000 million.

The total population of Japan is only 1.25 million, accounting for 24% of the total population.

However, considering that in the country on the neighboring peninsula, there are 800 million more stock trading accounts than the total population, the 24% figure suddenly becomes quite normal.

"Wow—"

I turned on the tap and washed my face with clean water.

After drying himself with a towel, Fujii Itsuki changed his clothes in the bedroom and went downstairs.

"Dudu."

As soon as I walked out of Fujii's house, I saw a white Honda car driving out of the garage and heading towards the road.

"You're so busy, you have to work overtime on Saturday?"

Glancing at the white Honda car driving away, Fujii Itsuki said something secretly in his heart, then turned and walked towards the direction of Ogiwara's house.

……

Adachi-ku, Kita-Senju.

"Ding dong."

I stood outside the door and rang the doorbell. Not long after, the door was opened by a pretty girl without any makeup.

"Good morning, Fujii-kun!"

Ogiwara Saki greeted him in a gentle and soft voice, but her movements were not at all restrained. She threw herself directly into Fujii Itsuki's arms and gave him a sweet good morning hug.

"You missed me so much after just one night apart?"

Fujii Itsuki had a faint smile on his face. He ruffled Ogiwara Saki's soft black hair and freed one hand to close the door behind him.

“…Not that I particularly want to.” Ogihara Saki raised her pretty face and looked at him.

"The main purpose is to get Fujii-kun and me to help convince mom."

"You're honest!" Fujii Itsuki pinched Ogiwara Saki's soft and pretty face in annoyance.

He took off his casual shoes at the entrance, and Ogihara Saki, as if prepared, took out a pair of black men's slippers from the shoe cabinet next to him.

Look at the white cotton slippers that Ogihara Saki is wearing on her slender legs. They happen to be a couple's pair with this pair.

"Fujii-kun, I bought it in your size."

"It's a couple's edition." When she said this, Ogihara Saki's pretty face was obviously a little shy.
