In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

It raised its head and squinted its eyes, revealing a hint of obedience.

Nibutani Morika's pupils dilated and she said in shock: "You... why do you have the key to my house?!"

Wouldn't this mean that my plan to go to Ryosuke's room to rest would be ruined?

"Aunt Nibutani gave it to me." Hiratsuka Ryosuke responded casually, and then walked into the Nibutani house skillfully as if he had returned to his own home.

He was going to go in and take away everything that Vanilla needed.

Mrs. Nibutani gave him the key because she learned that Ryosuke dared to jump over from the balcony next door for her daughter.

Although she was moved by the young man, she was also worried in her heart. After all, this kind of thing was too dangerous.

boom!

The sound of the door closing echoed in the empty room.

Nibutani Morika collapsed on the sofa alone with a confused look on her face, then took out her keys from her pocket and sighed.

My plan to go to Ryosuke's room failed...

Perhaps God did not abandon Morixia, and a flash of inspiration came to her mind.

Why does Ryosuke have the key to my house, but I don’t have the key to his?

Is this reasonable?

A great plan slowly began to take shape in Mr. Mori's mind.

……

Time flies, and it is August in a blink of an eye.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka followed his sister back to his hometown in Chiba Prefecture to celebrate the holidays.

Obon is a very important festival in Japan.

It is said that during the Obon Festival, the spirits of ancestors return to their homes.

In order to prevent the souls of ancestors from getting lost, fires should be lit at the doorstep, lanterns should be lit indoors, the altar should be cleaned, and vegetables and fruits should be offered.

At the end of the festival, the souls of the ancestors are sent off respectfully.

Therefore, people living in cities will basically return to their hometowns to spend this festival with their families.

Due to the Meiji calendar reform, the time of Obon Festival varies from region to region.

With the changes of the times, festival customs have continued to develop, adding more celebratory meaning to them.

During the festival, all major companies and organizations are closed for holidays. In some places, grand celebrations are held with parades, singing and dancing until late at night. The celebrations are as grand and lively as New Year's Day.

It is now night, the lively fireflies are shining their light, and the bright moonlight is like a silver ribbon spreading to the earth.

The cool breeze in the evening blows away the heat left over from the day, leaving a hint of coolness in the August night.

In this traditional festival.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke also changed into a black kimono with the Hiratsuka family crest tonight.

At this moment, he was sitting in the corridor teasing Vanilla with a cat toy.

"Vanilla, look here~"

"Meow~"

The little white cat stared at the cat toy with its lively eyes, and its two pure white paws were scratching in the air.

Ryosuke had a faint smile on his face. He liked this smart, cute, well-behaved and obedient little female cat very much.

This time when he returned to his hometown, he chose to bring it back to Chiba.

"Ryosuke, are you ready? The Bon Odori is about to begin." Shizuka Hiratsuka urged, putting on her usual light purple yukata.

"Here I come, Sister Shizuka!" Ryosuke Hiratsuka responded loudly.

Then he waved to Vanilla, and the little white cat slipped into Ryosuke's arms.

It only dared to show its two black eyes, which rolled around and glanced at its owner from time to time.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka held the cat and followed his sister, walking on the busy street.

Suddenly, he felt his phone vibrate. It was a new email.

When I opened the email, a photo came into view.

In front of Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, under the red maple tree.

Nibutani Morika had a rosy face, was wearing a goose yellow yukata, and was holding an apple candy in her hand.

Behind her was a bustling crowd watching the Bon Dance performed by locals on the street.

There are three words under the picture.

"Does it look good?"

Ryosuke saw through Morika's little thoughts.

His childhood sweetheart sometimes looks lively and cheerful.

But sometimes I can also be hesitant.

A girl's feelings are always poetic. At this moment, Morixia is asking about more than just the scenery.

He understood Morixia's poems.

So I quickly replied, "The Bon Odori in Kyoto is beautiful, and Mori Xia is even more beautiful tonight."

Another new email.

"Hmph, if you have the guts, say something like that to my face next time, idiot Ryosuke."

Hiratsuka Ryosuke smiled slightly. Don't be fooled by the calmness in Morika's email.

But based on his understanding of Morixia, he had already anticipated the other party's current reaction, which would be stomping her feet or banging her head against the things around her.

He said some immature remarks while trying to hide his shyness.

On the other side, Kyoto.

Boom boom boom! Nibutani Morika was hugging the red maple tree next to her and banging her little head against it.

After a while, she stopped hitting and a faint red mark appeared on her forehead.

Then she covered her forehead and stomped her feet, her little face flushed.

He murmured in a low voice pretending to be angry: "Damn Guardian Knight, how cunning, actually trying to use this method to make Lord Mori fall into a state of confusion?"

Thinking back to the message Ryosuke had just sent her, she bit her lower lip lightly, her golden eyes full of life.

Finally, she looked up at the moon in the sky and smiled, like a blooming flower.

Ryosuke should be looking at the same moon as me, right?

Chiba Prefecture.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke and Sister Shizuka were standing by the street.

He looked up at the bright moon in the sky, waiting quietly for the Bon Dance to begin.

For some reason, Vanilla, who was always well-behaved, suddenly jumped out of Ryosuke's arms.

Ryosuke quickly yelled, "Vanilla!"

The kitten heard its owner's call and showed no intention of stopping, and quickly rushed into the crowd.

Seeing Vanilla running farther and farther away, Ryosuke Hiratsuka hurriedly turned around and told Shizuka Hiratsuka something.

"Sister! I'm going to find vanilla."

After saying that, he began to move through the crowd, speeding up to chase in the direction the kitten left.

Chapter 96: Three Cats in Chiba Prefecture

The festival was bustling with people, and the streets were bustling with people.

The little white cat moves with agility and agility, like a flash of white lightning, darting in and out between the gaps under the feet of pedestrians.

Soon, it stopped near a bench across the street.

The cat jumped onto the bench quickly, its eyes sparkling with intelligence.

It sniffed the chair with the tip of its nose, looking out at the outside world, its two furry ears standing up high, and its eyes instantly becoming sharp.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke saw that Vanilla stayed on the chair and had no intention of running anymore.

So he breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly towards the opposite street.

"Hiratsuka, long time no see. Are you here to watch the Bon Dance too?" A familiar voice sounded beside Ryosuke.

Following the direction of the voice, I saw that it was Hayato Hayama who was speaking.

"Hayama..." Ryosuke just turned around to greet his classmates, and he was always paying attention to Vanilla's movements out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing Koneko jump off the bench and start running in another direction, Ryosuke quickly responded, "Sorry, Hayama, I have something else to do."

After saying that, he ran after him.

Vanilla seemed to be pursuing something that was of great attraction to it, and there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.

Ryosuke didn't know where Vanilla was going, nor did he know why Vanilla, who was always well-behaved, suddenly jumped out of his arms.

Fortunately, he had pretty good physical skills and dodged left and right in the crowd without losing them.

Vanilla stopped again, but this time she stopped at a girl's feet.

The girl is as dignified and elegant as a white peony, and as pure and noble as a lily.

Seeing the boy chasing the cat, she picked up the kitten with a sunny and cheerful smile on her face.

He greeted Ryosuke, "Hey, Ryosuke, you came to see me."

"Yukinoshita Haruno, give my cat back to me." Hiratsuka Ryosuke said lightly.

There was a sly flash in Yukinoshita Haruno's moist brown eyes. She deliberately stretched out her tone and said with a smile: "Eh? This is your cat, Ryosuke-chan. It seems that it likes me very much."

Then she held Vanilla and moved closer to Ryosuke, coming face to face with him at close range.

There was a gentle breeze, and Ryosuke could even feel the ends of Yangno's purple hair brushing across his face.

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and made her own charming voice, "Ryosuke, do you think this is a fateful encounter?"

The girl's warm, moist breath, with the scent of lilies blew towards me.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke just looked at her quietly, and before he could respond, Vanilla started moving again.

It first sniffed at Yukinoshita Haruno, and then shook its head in a humane manner.

Then he jumped out of Yukinoshita Haruno's arms and continued to run to other places.

Yukinoshita Haruno's smile suddenly froze.

"Really? It seems like the person I'm destined to meet isn't you, Ms. Yukinoshita Haruno."

Hiratsuka Ryosuke responded calmly, then continued to chase after Vanilla.

Yono turned to look in the direction where Ryosuke disappeared and shook her head.

Finally, he looked around and sighed, "Ryosuke-chan is catching his cat, and I'm looking for my own cat. Where on earth is the cute Yukino-chan?"

……

After the summer vacation last month, Yukino Yukinoshita returned home from abroad.

Under the shadow of her strict mother and outstanding sister, she thinks she is just a "substitute" for her sister.

Since she was a child, she has longed to gain her mother's recognition and attention, and wanted to prove that she is as good as her sister.

Until last year, when she was still in primary school, she received a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue.

She was going to arrange an engagement with the young master of the Hirazuka family whom she had never met before.

From then on, she became disheartened.

a few minutes ago.

"Xukino, there are a lot of people at the celebration, so follow me and don't get lost~" Yukinoshita Haruno was smiling and teasing her sister like a cat.
