In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

Yukinoshita Haruno temporarily suppressed the haze in her heart, looked at Ryosuke and smiled and replied: "I said it was a coincidence, do you believe it?"

This was just a coincidence and she had no intention of causing any trouble.

It's just that I've been into some troubles lately, so I came out to relax and change my mood, and I just happened to meet Ryosuke.

Yukinoshita Haruno saw Ryosuke at the very beginning.

But she knows the occasion.

The occasion just now was obviously a party related to Ryosuke's business.

Among that group of people, even she, who had nothing to do with the ACGN industry, knew the identities of several of them.

So she didn't go over to disturb them, but waited for the party to end.

Then Yukinoshita Haruno continued to ask: "Ryosuke, what did you do to Yukino before? Some time ago, she actually took the initiative to tell me that she wanted to return to her country to study in high school."

Yukinoshita Yukino?

Ryosuke shook his head and replied calmly: "I haven't seen your sister for more than a year. What does it have to do with me if she has such thoughts?"

Hearing the other party's words, Yukinoshita Haruno breathed a sigh of relief for some reason and said to herself.

During these two holidays, Yukino would go to the Hiratsuka family with 1,000 yen in her pocket, and then come back with a sullen face and said nothing.

It’s because I wanted to find you, but I couldn’t find you.

What I want to know is why she comes to you again and again.

Yukinoshita Haruno asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Ryosuke, I'm going to college next year. You haven't experienced dating a JK yet, right? Do you want to try dating me?"

"No." Ryosuke Hiratsuka refused without even thinking.

Instead of playing tricks on you, you might as well stay at home and play with your sister.

"Hey~ You're too direct." When she was organizing her words and was about to continue to test him indirectly.

"Ryosuke, are you here to see Mr. Himura again today?"

The sudden female voice made Yono and Ryosuke look in the direction of the voice at the same time.

Yukinoshita Haruno began to search her memory for information about the girl with red eyes and long black hair.

"You are...Touka Takanari from the gymnastics club?"

Because many school competitions require people from the gymnastics department to serve as cheerleaders.

As the student council president, Yukinoshita Haruno also has a slight impression of this general of the gymnastics club.

"Good evening, Student Council President." Touka Takanashi responded calmly with no joy or sadness on her face.

If it was at the beginning, she might have worried that her part-time job would be discovered by students from the same school.

But she still had a few months left to graduate from high school, and even if the student council president sat in front of her right now, she wouldn't feel too emotional.

"Sister Touka, I came here for a private party. Are you going home now?" Ryosuke replied.

During the holidays, Ryosuke would still be conscripted by his master.

He and Touka Takanashi were in the same kitchen and had worked together for quite a while.

Yukinoshita Haruno next to her raised her eyebrows and pretended to be angry and said, "Touka-sister? It sounds very intimate. Ryosuke, we have known each other for such a long time, and I have never heard you call Haruno-sister. You are really going too far."

Hiratsuka Ryosuke knew Yukinoshita Haruno's personality, so he ignored her.

Because he saw Himura Shinta also coming out of the kitchen.

"Good evening, Master."

"Good evening, last night's animation was great, you did a great job." Himura Shinta replied with a smile.

Then he looked at the girl sitting in the seat and said politely, "Sorry, my store is closing now."

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Haruno stood up and put on her shoulder bag.

When facing different people and different occasions, she will automatically put on different masks.

So she returned to her ladylike appearance and politely responded to Himura: "Thank you for your hospitality. The food is delicious."

Just when she was about to continue teasing Ryosuke.

A news broadcast suddenly broke out on TV.

"Emergency! There has been a serious car accident on the Rainbow Bridge. To avoid traffic jams, please take a detour."

The camera moves to the accident car.

The indifferent look on Touka Kotori's face disappeared without a trace.

The license plate number of the accident car was clearly visible, and she was also familiar with the owner of the car.

Juhua's pupils constricted, her heart went cold, and she exclaimed, "Dad!"

This exclamation attracted the attention of the three people present at the same time.

Even Yukinoshita Haruno lost interest in teasing Ryosuke and her expression became serious.

……

Himura drove the three of them to the scene of the accident first.

When Touka Takanashi saw the familiar old car at the scene, the last bit of hope in her heart completely disappeared.

Finally, we learned from the police that the driver had been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

At the entrance of the hospital emergency room.

Touka Takanashi sat on the cold iron stool, with her eyelids drooped and not saying a word.

As an acquaintance, Ryosuke wanted to say something to comfort him, but the words couldn't come out.

Think for a second.

If the person lying inside was his father or sister, he would only be even more devastated.

"Kinoshita-san, uncle will be fine."

Yukinoshita Haruno patted Touka Takanashi's shoulder and comforted her softly.

She is a dedicated student council president.

At least while in this position, she cared about her schoolmates.

So she is respected and has a very high prestige in school.

Touka Takanashi didn't react at all and ignored what Yukinoshita Haruno said.

"Tenka!"

A woman, leading a petite, fair-skinned girl with short hair and a strand of adobe on her head, walked towards Touka Takanashi with an anxious look on her face.

She raised her eyelids, a glimmer of light returned to her eyes, and she responded in a low voice: "Mom..."

The emergency room door opened.

The doctor walked out of the door with a tired look, looked around and asked, "Who is the patient's family member?"

Mrs. Kotori trotted to the doctor and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my husband?"

The doctor said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry, ma'am, we have tried our best."

The sudden bad news fell into everyone's ears.

Mrs. Kotori turned pale instantly, took two steps back, her body swaying a little, and murmured with lifeless eyes: "How could this happen..."

The short-haired girl clenched her fists, tears welled up in her eyes, and even the hair on her head drooped down, but she still stubbornly denied it loudly: "You are lying! My father will be fine!"

After saying that, the short-haired girl turned around and ran out of the aisle without looking back.

"Rikka!"

Mrs. Kotori yelled and ran out quickly after her little daughter.

Seeing this, Yukinoshita Haruno first glanced at Touka Kotori, then turned to Ryosuke and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

Out of kindness in his heart, Himura began to ask the doctor about the details.

Ryosuke sat next to Touka Takanashi.

He noticed that the other person's expression was not much different from usual.

She neither cried nor made a fuss.

Touka Takanashi was desperate.

Mom has been working hard.

She also works part-time to earn living expenses and tuition fees, and her younger sister Rikka is also very obedient.

Although my father was ill before, he is no longer in danger and is almost fully recovered.

This should have been a happy family, why did misfortune come to her home again?

I was clearly feeling very uncomfortable inside, so uncomfortable that I could hardly breathe.

But not a single tear came out of her eyes.

Until the doctor walked up to her with something.

"You are also a family member, right? This is the patient's personal belongings. He has been keeping it in his arms. It must be very important to him."

What the doctor held in his hand were two well-wrapped rhythmic gymnastics ribbons.

Touka Takanashi took it with trembling hands.

She had been torn between becoming a professional gymnast and going straight to work after high school.

From a rational point of view, for her, who comes from an ordinary family, the best option is to go straight to work after graduating from high school.

However, her father still supports her dream.

"Since you bought the gift, just give it to me personally." Touka's voice was a little hoarse.

The suppressed emotions could no longer be contained, and tears as big as beans kept falling from the corners of the eyes.

From silent tears, to soft sobbing, and finally to crying loudly.

Her cries echoed in the hospital corridor.

……

A few days later in the morning, the funeral ceremony was solemn and dignified.

Mr. Kotori's portrait was placed among the flowers in front of the coffin.

Everything is done quietly and silently.

But the short-haired girl named Rikka Takanashi didn't dare to come near here, and just stood in the distance and watched from afar.

It seems that he still cannot accept the fact that his father has passed away.

After the ceremony.

Yukinoshita Haruno and Hiratsuka Ryosuke, both wearing black clothes, came in front of Touka Takanashi together.

"Toriyu-kun, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me."

"Sister Juuka, me too."

Himura Shinta was unable to attend in person as he seemed to be busy with some urgent matters, but he still asked Ryosuke to bring him a generous gift.

Both people present were aware of the situation of the Kotori Yu family.

In the past, I had always used the money to buy medicine for Mr. Kotori, but now I have to borrow money from others to buy a piece of land for a grave.

"Thank you." Touka Kotori bowed to thank the two, then she straightened up and looked at the boy, "Ryosuke, I will pay you back as soon as possible for the money I lent you."

Hiratsuka Ryosuke waved his hand, "Don't worry about paying back the money. Sister Juhua, what are your plans next?"

He is now successful in both light novels and animation, so he is not short of money for the time being.

Not giving money directly to the other party is to take care of the other party's self-esteem.

After all, giving and borrowing are two different things.

Touka Kotori replied, "My mother will take my sister to Hokkaido to take care of her because of work. I will continue to study until I graduate from high school. Then I will work in Tokyo, but before that I have to rent a house."

Ryosuke thought for a moment and said to the girl, "Sister Juhua, why don't you come to my apartment. I remember that the family upstairs just moved out last month, and it hasn't been rented out yet."
