In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

So he asked Gaozi out during the holidays. He really wanted to know what kind of gifts girls like.

He thought the hairpin was nice and practical, but Morixia asked him to change it this time.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka moved his butt closer to Nozomi so that she could hear more clearly.

"Glass, tomorrow is Morika's birthday. Come with me to the Seibu Department Store on Ikebukuro Shopping Street to pick out some gifts. Girls always find it easier to understand what girls like."

Ryosuke told Naoko the purpose of his appointment.

Nishimiya Glass was startled when she heard this, and said a little embarrassedly: "Um... Ryosuke, actually I don't know, because I have never received a birthday present from a friend."

After she finished speaking, her eyes dimmed a little, as if she had not helped Ryosuke again.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke reached out his hand, touched her fluffy hair, and chuckled, "Don't worry, I will help you celebrate your birthday. Let's go and see it together tomorrow."

Nishimiya Glass closed her eyes and raised her little head slightly, enjoying her master's caress like an obedient puppy.

Thirty minutes later.

"Then... Ryosuke, see you in front of the Seibu Department Store at 10am tomorrow."

Nishimiya Naoko smiled sweetly and skipped out of the restaurant.

Going to the shopping district with a boy during the holidays, is that considered a date?

Dating? !

Nishimiya Naoko suddenly reacted, her steps became unstable, and she ran wildly with a red face.

After watching Nishimiya Naoko leave, he was also ready to get up and leave.

A tall girl with long black hair walked over and sat down opposite him.

"Ryosuke, this is your reward for this period of time." Touka Takanashi said calmly.

"Eh? Is there any money left? Thank you, Sister Touka." Hiratsuka Ryosuke looked surprised and took the envelope to express his gratitude.

During this holiday, Himura Shinta did not let him go.

On the pretext that he had not yet learned the Sky-Soaring Dragon Flash, he was conscripted to the restaurant to do the hard labor of cutting vegetables on the chopping board.

That’s right, I learned my cooking skills from childhood, but I never received any salary before.

"It is easier to understand the truth if you use a knife to create more happiness for others than to hurt others with it."

These are Master's original words.

During the holidays, Tohka Takanashi almost became a full-time chef.

Working in the same small space of the kitchen, Ryosuke and Touka Takanashi gradually became familiar with each other.

"Ryosuke, can I spare you a moment to talk?"

Tohka Takanashi looked hesitant.

She doesn't have many friends, and through spending some time together, she realized that the boy in front of her was much more mature than even her peers. She recently faced a difficult problem and wanted to find someone to talk to.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke's eyelids twitched.

According to him, whether Touka was angry or happy, there was no expression on her face, and her emotions were even more stable than his. This was also the first time he saw Touka Takanashi showing this expression.

Realizing that things might not be simple, Hiratsuka Ryosuke nodded in his seat and sat upright.

Tohka Takanashi looked embarrassed, then she took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and returned to her usual expressionless look.

"I'm studying at Sobu High School. I'll be a senior next year. I'm currently a rhythmic gymnast in the school's gymnastics club. I really want to be an athlete in the future."

Her tone was calm, as if she was talking about someone else.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke nodded. He had guessed this a long time ago because when they first met, his expression was unusual when he heard that Sister Shizuka was a teacher at Sobu High School.

Touka Kotori continued, "Suddenly one day, my father fell ill. His condition is relatively stable now. It's not a terminal illness, but it requires a lot of money for long-term care."

"So, does Sister Shihua need money now? I can talk to Sister Jing about this."

Ryosuke Hiratsuka answered directly that if their friends were in trouble, the Hiratsuka siblings were willing to help.

But he guessed wrong this time.

Touka Kotori shook her head and said calmly, "My family can still afford it, and my mother's job is relatively stable. My father's illness is showing signs of improvement. My grades are not that good, so I don't plan to continue my studies. The main reason is that in addition to my father's illness, I have a younger sister in elementary school who needs to be taken care of, so I will probably work after I graduate from high school."

Hiratsuka Ryosuke understood that Touka Takanashi is now faced with a choice between dreams and reality.

Her father's sudden illness caused the family to become financially tight. Although they could afford it, it made her realize that her family's ability to resist risks was extremely poor.

Although the condition has improved, once the economic pillar collapses, their family will immediately face a major crisis.

On the other hand, being an artistic gymnast is not a job that allows you to make money right away. The competition is very fierce, and you need to spend a lot of money on nutritional supplements during your daily training.

In other words, even if you work hard for your dreams, your family's ability to resist risks will still be very poor.

If you work after graduation and have a new source of income for your family, it won't be that difficult, but the price is giving up your dreams.

After all, not everyone has a good family background.

In real life, there are more ordinary families like Touka Takanashi.

"Don't worry, Sister Shihua, now that uncle's condition has improved, we can slowly take care of him."

"If you feel guilty because you prefer to dream, there is no need to do so."

"Isn't uncle's condition more optimistic now? If you need money for treatment, Sister Jing and I can help you."

“Everything now breeds the future, and everything in the future grows from its yesterday. Follow your true thoughts.”

It was rare for Ryosuke Hiratsuka to speak at length. He didn't really know how to comfort and enlighten others, but as long as his friends were in trouble, he would still lend a hand if his ability allowed.

The Hiratsuka family is not a big chaebol, but as the leading underworld force in Chiba Prefecture, they are not short of money.

"Thank you, Ryosuke." A rare smile appeared on Touka Takanashi's face.

What Touka Takanashi said was about her future.

But this also made Ryosuke think about his own future. His family was well off, but all this also came at a huge price, which was the loss of his freedom.

As the only son of the head of the Hiratsuka family, if he wants to inherit everything of the Hiratsuka Group, it also means taking on more responsibilities.

But he didn't like the business of the Hiratsuka Group. In addition to the real estate development, there were also underground businesses that were needed by the bigwigs above but could not be mentioned in public. In the future, the people around him might not be so safe.

This means that once you choose to inherit the family business, you will also be constrained by others.

If you choose to refuse, your status, financial resources, everything will disappear, and you may even get into bigger trouble.

At this time, he suddenly realized that he could not rely too much on his family and at least he had to be able to make money on his own.

It seems that I need to make plans early and find a way to make money.

At my current age, there isn’t much I can do and I need to plan well.

The vibration of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts.

He apologized to Touka Takanashi and went outside to answer the phone.

"Brother Ryosuke, that bastard is going out on a date with my sister at nine tomorrow! The location is in Ikebukuro."

Nishimiya Yuzuru's hurried voice came from the phone next to my ear.

He raised his lips slightly. Ikebukuro? What a coincidence.

Arrived at 8:30, beat up someone at 9:00, and waited for Glass to go shopping at the mall at 10:00. It was a perfect morning.

"I understand Yuzuru, I'll pick you up tomorrow and we'll leave early."

Good boy, I will go there early this time. I don’t believe you can still run away. I will save Yuzuru Nishimiya’s sister!

Chapter 23: Pack up and go to Gotham to confront Batman

Ten minutes ago, Nishimiya family.

My name is Yuzuru Nishimiya. I have a hearing-impaired but gentle sister who is my spiritual support.

If I'm not mistaken, my sister went crazy again after more than four months.

Although in these four months, for some reason, her voice has become much clearer than before.

She didn't answer every time I asked her, but it was a good sign after all, so I didn't delve into it too much.

But this time the illness seemed to be more serious than last time, so serious that I couldn’t even believe she was my sister.

As soon as my sister got home, she took out all the clothes from the closet and threw them on the bed.

Then she tried on the clothes one by one in front of the mirror, and asked me which one looked good.

It’s obvious that she used to dress very casually, wearing whatever she got.

Even when her mother buys clothes for her, her sister never expresses her opinions or views.

My sister seemed to be in a dilemma. She rolled around on the bed with her legs swinging non-stop while holding on to clean clothes.

Then I realized that she must have been poisoned by that liar again.

"Yuzuru, I'm going to Ikebukuro at nine tomorrow."

My sister said to me happily.

As expected, my sister, who doesn't like to hang out alone, is going to Ikebukuro.

Are you dating someone else?

"Are you with that Ryosuke?" I asked.

When my sister heard the name, she started rolling around on the bed again.

She didn't say anything, but from her actions and the smile on her face, I knew she had answered me.

I once told my sister that the man was a liar who pretended to be someone else and his purpose was to play with her feelings, but my sister never believed it and even had an argument with me about it.

I once vowed to protect my sister. In order to prevent her from being hurt by a scumbag, I walked out of the house, decided to seek help, and made a phone call.

"Brother Ryosuke, that bastard is going out on a date with my sister at nine tomorrow! The location is in Ikebukuro."

The reply came quickly from the other end of the phone, "I understand, Yuzuru, I'll pick you up tomorrow and we'll leave early."

Hearing this affirmative reply, my heart, which had always been concerned about my sister, felt much more at ease.

Because I have seen how powerful that foreign aid is, he will definitely be able to rescue my sister and save her from the clutches of the emotional scammer.

The next day.

August 30th, 8:00 AM.

Boom boom boom!

Hiratsuka Ryosuke knocked on the door of the Nishimiya family, and a small dark head popped out from the door.

"Brother Ryosuke, you're here!" Nishimiya Yuzuru shouted in surprise, then changed the subject and said in a slightly anxious voice, "Mom went to work early, and my sister has already left."

Hearing this, Hiratsuka Ryosuke nodded secretly, dispelling the last doubts in his heart.

The time he and Nishimiya Naoko agreed to meet was ten o'clock in the morning. It would take about half an hour to get to Ikebukuro from here.

In other words, Yuzuru's sister set off at around seven in the morning, and judging from what Yuzuru said, his sister's date time was nine o'clock.

The time he agreed with Glass was ten o'clock. Well, he was not alone after all.

The subsequent content is to teach the guy who pretended to be himself a lesson and save Yuzuru's sister.

There are still about two hours before meeting Nozomi, so there is still enough time.

"Let's get going, Yuzuru!"

"Yes, Brother Ryosuke!"

……

"Yuzuru, is your information accurate? Ikebukuro is so big, do you know where your sister is?"

Standing at the entrance of Ikebukuro West Exit Park, Ryosuke Hiratsuka asked himself the question in his heart.

Nishimiya Yuzuru suddenly felt embarrassed. She didn't hear clearly the specific place her sister mentioned for the date, she only knew it was Ikebukuro.

Logically speaking, if we were to date, the probability of meeting at Ikebukuro West Exit Park would be very high.

After all, this is also a very famous dating spot.

"Brother Ryosuke, I'm sorry, I didn't hear the exact location my sister mentioned."
