Eriri looked touched.

Nomiyama felt that Sayuri was hiding something, after all, he had just pressed Eriri to the ground and smeared handfuls of cream on her face, and she was watching him with a happy look on her face.

All in all, it was a good experience.

After dinner, Eriri went upstairs first and said she wanted to take a shower. Nomiya took the initiative to take the dishes and went to the kitchen to deal with them.

After finishing washing the dishes, he glanced at the empty living room, took out his cell phone, sent a message to Ying Lili, and walked towards the door.

This is very convenient among acquaintances, and you don’t have to be extra polite when you go home.

Pushing open the door, Nomiya turned his gaze and looked towards the courtyard.

There was a big tree there, under the tree was a swing, and on the swing was a person.

The moonlight was very bright that night, and the cool and gentle light fell on her, a bright red.

"Are you leaving?"

Sayuri Sawamura turned her head to look at him who pushed open the door, and was not surprised.

"Yeah." Nomiya nodded and closed the door.

"Let's talk?" Sayuri Sawamura asked casually.

Nomiyama looked at her and walked towards her slowly: "Okay."

Walking behind her, Nomiya gently pushed the swing, just like he used to help Eriri push it when they occasionally came here in junior high.

Sayuri Sawamura naturally lifted her feet, grabbed the thick rope with both hands, and swung: "Kazehaya, how long have we known each other?"

Nomiyama looked down at her black hair, the twintails had been undone and now those beautiful locks were blowing in the wind.

After all, she was the birthday girl, so he had mostly thrown the cream at Eriri, whose hair was very clean.

"Eight years."

"Eight years, Feng Zao, do you think eight years is short or long?"

He didn't know why, maybe because of the wind, but Nomiyama always felt that Sayuri's words were a little vague, but he still answered seriously: "Long."

"Yeah, eight years. There aren't actually that many eight years in a lifetime." Sayuri Sawamura sighed.

Then she pointed out the question directly.

"Eri has loved you for eight years."

Nomiya paused, looked down at her who was saying this in an ordinary tone, and continued to push the swing.

"She's really moved so early..."

"I also think that maybe what I taught her since she was a child is not right?"

"That's good, because it's because of you that she has her current dreams and passions."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"It's a compliment. It's a good thing to have passion."

"Thank you for the compliment." Sayuri Sawamura looked up at the bright moon in the sky. "Eriri, how do you want to deal with this? Reject her? Or should we both continue like this, knowing the truth?"

"I have a girlfriend." Nomiya pushed the swing gently.

"Then what?" Sayuri Sawamura asked back.

"I have more than one girlfriend." Nomiya sighed.

"There's such a good thing? Just one more." Sayuri Sawamura breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, why are you so determined to push your daughter into the fire pit?" Nomiyama stopped pushing the swing and had a strange expression on his face.

Sayuri Sawamura swayed with the remaining force, tilted her head back, and looked at him with a puzzled look: "Do you think you are a pit of fire for Eriri?"

"Even if you were a pit of fire, she would probably just jump in with tears and screams of pain."

Nomiyama looked at her with her head tilted back, and was distracted by her inexplicable childish behavior.

Looking away, he loosened the thick rope of the swing and sat cross-legged on the grass beside the swing.

"Isn't Eriri cute?"

"Lovely."

"Is Eriri difficult to deal with?"

"She's so easy to deal with."

"Is Eriri's feelings for you fake?"

"it is true."

"So, you don't like Eriri?"

Nomiyama became quiet and a little absent-minded.

Sayuri Sawamura didn't continue to ask that question. Instead, she stopped the swing and looked at a leaf blown down by the wind: "Kazehaya, tell me, what do you think of Eriri?"

Nomiya looked up at the bright moon in the sky and recalled the past.

"Sayuri, I'm an orphan who's a little special."

Sayuri Sawamura's eyes moved slightly: "Yeah, I know."

Nomiyama glanced at her, reached out, broke off a few blades of grass, and put them in his mouth to chew.

"At first I thought I had parents, like most people, born from them. Of course, I had never met them. I only saw their photos hanging on the wall, and I had no memories of them at all. Even now, I still can't remember the woman in that photo."

"These were all very unusual things, but I didn't feel anything at the time because I had only just been 'born' and hadn't yet accumulated any understanding of the world and myself. I only had some basic common sense."

"Isn't it strange to say that?" Nomiya looked sideways at her.

"It sounds a bit strange." Sayuri Sawamura nodded.

Scratching his head, Nomiyama asked a strange question: "Sayuri, have you read Journey to the West?"

“I have seen it.”

Nomiyama recalled: "I once watched an animation adapted from Journey to the West. After Sun Wukong jumped out of the stone, he didn't know what to do. Every day he just wandered around the Flower and Fruit Mountain. When he was hungry, he picked peaches, and when he was thirsty, he drank spring water."

"He knew there were many people like him in the mountains, but he never took the initiative to look for them. Instead, he stayed away from them."

"Because things like staying alive don't actually need to be that troublesome. As long as you have food and water, you can survive. There's no need to go out of your way to fit in with others."

"Until one day, he was picking peaches from the tree as usual, and he found a little monkey not far away. The little monkey was being chased by a wild boar and was about to be pierced by the wild boar's tusks."

"Sun Wukong was very powerful. He bit the peach, jumped down from the tree, and kicked the wild boar to death with one kick."

"It was just an ordinary thing in his eyes. After he kicked the wild boar to death, he ignored the little monkey and just left and went to another orchard to pick peaches."

"But after that, the little monkey found him."

"Blinking, I approached cautiously and stammered as I offered him a banana."

"They said, 'Eat this, this is better, I have more at home.'"

"Eriri was that little monkey. She was the first thing that connected me to this world. Even after she left, I felt she would come back eventually. If she kept lingering, I would go find her when I was in junior high."

Nomiyama looked down at the grass in front of him and said, "Since junior high school, I've always thought that the current situation is good. I hope nothing changes and nothing unexpected happens."

Sayuri Sawamura looked at him who had calmed down.

Not gods, but humans with emotions and selfish desires.

She reached out and gently placed her hand on the hair: "She likes you so much, how can there be any unchanging statement?"

Nomiyama reached out and held the small hand above his head: "So, now I'm actually just waiting for changes to occur, but I don't know what I'm waiting for."

"Is that so? You'll reject Eriri?"

"..."

"Since she's silent, that means she won't refuse. That makes things easy. I'll let Eriri confess her feelings some other day. As for what to do with Yukino, you figure it out yourself."

“This is a super big kang.”

"No, to Eriri, your place is the paradise she wants to go to, just like the Southern Cross Station in "Night on the Galactic Railroad", which is the only way to heaven."

Sayuri Sawamura said seriously, "Even though you're a huge jerk, since Eriri likes it, of course I have to help her get it."

"Don't you think you've been wronged, Eriri?" Nomiyama said helplessly.

"When she's with you and Yukino, she just laughs foolishly." Sayuri Sawamura was also helpless.

"Okay." Nomiyama took her hand off his head and froze.

Sayuri Sawamura was also stunned. She shifted her gaze and looked at the two people's connected hands.

Why did I reach out my hand just now? Why do you keep holding it?

Nomiyama's pupils flickered. Why did I just grab her naturally? Why did I keep holding her?

Why didn’t he (she) notice it just now?

They looked away and let go of each other's hands silently.

Nomiyama stood up: "Then I'll go back first."

Sayuri Sawamura looked at the bright moon in the sky and started to relax by herself: "Yeah."

Nomiyama took a look at her beautiful loose hair and the red and white kimono, then turned and left.

She really looks like those fluttering colorful butterflies.

After he left, Sayuri Sawamura stopped the swing and looked at the place where he had been sitting cross-legged. After a moment of silence, she calmed down and took out her cell phone from her arms.

"Eri, you heard me. You are the first factor that connects him to this world. He will not reject you."

"Just take one step towards him, Eriri. Just one step and you'll be right next to him."

Chapter 178 Today's Hot Girl from Nomiyama's House

Yukinoshita was busy buying some things for her apartment and told him to see her tomorrow. Hui went to the amusement park with her family, and then Haruno said she wanted to go back to Yukinoshita's house. Miyagi was quiet after saying "I'll be back in a few days".

Nomiyama sat in the living room for a long time and found himself in a state of doing nothing.

The reason why he said he had nothing to do was because he had given his fishing rod to Yukinoshita, and now he couldn't even go fishing.

No, it’s not impossible to go.

Nomiya shifted his gaze and looked at his palm.

She has arranged so many strange fish for herself, so it shouldn't be that she can't catch any without a fishing rod.

If you use yourself as bait, can you catch anything?

How can you not fish without a fishing rod? Fishing is not such an inconvenient thing.

For him, who never comes up empty-handed, it's just a fishing rod. If he doesn't have it, then he has nothing.

He stood up and went out.

......

Nomiya squatted on the river bank, staring at his index finger stuck in the water without blinking.

Using yourself as bait certainly doesn't mean jumping into the river and waiting for something strange. As for fish, a finger is enough for them to bite.

The only problem is that the waiting time is a bit long. I have been squatting here for an hour and still no fish are biting.

Is it possible that my perception is wrong? Do I need a fishing rod to fish on my own?

It doesn't make sense. She shouldn't make such a boring arrangement. Judging from all the strange things that happened in the past and her own intuition, she must have anticipated various plans for after going down the mountain, even if she didn't have her fishing rod in her hand.

Nomiya took a conflicted look at the river and decided to give up. Forget it, if I can't catch any fish, then I can't catch any fish. I'll ask Yukinoshita to return the fishing rod tomorrow and come back again.

Just as he was about to stand up, his eyes widened.

Under the water, something was moving very quickly.

It was abnormally fast.

Anticipation gradually appeared in his eyes. Nomiya licked his lips and watched the river surface begin to become turbulent, with no intention of retracting his fingers.

He didn't believe that any fish could bite his finger.

The next moment, the finger was sucked hard, and Nomiya pulled it hard, pulling the thing underwater ashore.
