Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

On the one hand, he had to find a way to deal with the mother in the conversation, and on the other hand, he had to find a way to free his hands from Miyazawa Maki's "restrictions".

After realizing that something bad would happen if he continued like this, Zeshan Haruno took a deep breath and said decisively to the phone: "Mom, I have something else to do here, I'll hang up first."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to respond.

As if she noticed that Sawayama Haruno had disconnected the voice call, Miyazawa Maki stopped biting Sawayama Haruno with her teeth and instead adopted a more gentle behavior.

Her breathing became increasingly rapid, and her eyes kept wandering around, as if she would say something in the next second.

However, this was just her illusion. After drinking too much cocktails, especially mixed drinks, Maki Miyazawa's consciousness had reached its limit.

After hanging up the phone, Sawayama Haruno easily noticed that her eyelids were trembling up and down, and immediately judged that the other party was about to fall.

He seized the opportunity and tried to pull out his fingers, while whispering to her: "Maki, you are drunk, go back to sleep first."

As he spoke, he placed his hand behind the short-haired girl's waist, holding her slender waist, patting it gently to comfort her while trying to pull his fingers out.

Perhaps it was his soft voice and gentle patting that worked, and Miyazawa Maki's consciousness became increasingly blurred, and she gradually loosened her mouth.

When Sawayama Haruno took out his finger, a crystal clear "silver thread" was found connecting it, which looked unusually dazzling under the sunlight outside the window.

Even Sawayama Haruno was distracted for a moment.

Fortunately, the "silver thread" broke very quickly and it broke in just a few seconds.

In contrast, Miyazawa Maki also leaned in Sawayama Haruno's arms and slowly closed her eyes.

——She successfully got herself drunk.

You have to know that the alcohol content of the ingredients used by Haruno Sawayama when making cocktails is not low. Vodka is undoubtedly a killer for people who don't drink often, let alone a girl like Maki Miyazawa.

Miyazawa Mana, who used to be able to drink a lot, was an exception. Although Maki was her twin sister, she seemed to have a completely different side in this regard. She could easily get drunk to this terrible state.

“It’s really worrying.”

Sawayama Haruno sighed.

She had only been on the phone for more than ten minutes when the other party caused such trouble. No wonder Maki had a big fight with her parents when she was at Miyazawa's house before.

If the other person was my daughter, I would definitely be furious, right?

But there was nothing he could do now. He had promised Mana that he would take in her sister for a short period of time, so he couldn't just kick her out.

What's more, he was afraid that the other party would go out and do something stupid with this appearance.

Although Miyazawa Maki is drunk now, it may be better than when she is not drunk. At least she seems to be particularly peaceful when she is asleep and will not cause any trouble.

If he is drunk but not yet asleep, the other person might go crazy in your home, and it would be much more troublesome to deal with him then.

"Let me just send you back to bed first."

Sawayama Haruno said to himself.

He picked up Miyazawa Maki by the waist, feeling the short-haired girl's delicate thigh skin, and while suppressing his restless heart, he quickly sent her to the guest bedroom next door.

——The place still maintained its messy appearance in the morning, with the sheets, bedsheets and pillowcases lying crookedly on the bed.

Sawayama Haruno was too lazy to clean up for Miyazawa Maki. After putting her down, he pulled a corner of the quilt to cover her delicate body, and then left the guest bedroom without looking back.

He was afraid that something unexpected might happen if he stayed any longer.

I'm going to meet Mana in the evening. If something happens to Maki at this time, it would be immoral and cruel to think about it.

Although according to what Maki said, Mana seemed to have expected the occurrence of a sinful plot

No, no, what are you thinking about?

Sawayama Haruno shook his head violently, driving the outrageous thoughts out of his mind.

Putting aside whether there is any affection between him and Miyazawa Maki, the fact that she is now in a "corpse-like" state makes him feel at a loss as to where to start.

It must have been Miyazawa Maki's "attack" just now that caused him to be so angry that all kinds of thoughts popped up uncontrollably.

Zeshan Haruno kept complaining in his heart. After retreating to the guest bedroom, he gently closed the door.

After finishing all this, he couldn't help but want to rub his face to remind himself to cheer up.

However, his hand froze in place when it was halfway extended. He remembered that Miyazawa Maki had just tasted it with relish.

"This guy doesn't mind being dirty."

The corner of Sawayama Haruno's mouth twitched, and he decided to go wash his hands first.

When he finished washing his hands and shook off the water and returned to the living room, he finally realized the real reason why Maki Yoshizawa was so unbearable just now.

——The cocktail he prepared for himself was drunk by the other party in one breath.

Once alcoholic beverages are mixed together and drunk, their "power" will be several times greater than before.

Looking at the empty cup, Sawayama Haruno felt speechless. He felt that he could already imagine Miyazawa Maki getting up at night and holding her head and wailing.

Chapter 20 Sawayama Haruno's Plan

The cocktails that were originally intended to be drunk were all drank by Miyazawa Maki. Sawayama Haruno felt depressed for a moment but did not go to mix another drink.

After tidying up the things in the living room, he returned to his bedroom.

The meeting with Miyazawa Mana was scheduled for the evening, which meant that I still had a long period of free time in the afternoon.

For Haruno Sawayama, who has a tight schedule on weekdays, such leisure time is actually very rare. However, he has a good habit, which is to confirm what he has not done or what he needs to do in the near future before taking a break.

That is to say, list a more detailed task list.

The recently emerged system is also something he needs to consider.

"Most of the current missions are related to the Miyazawa sisters."

Sawayama Haruno sat on a chair and took out a notebook from the drawer. After spreading it out, he thought for a while and began to record what had happened recently in the notebook.

Of course, he couldn't write about the system directly, so he simply left that part out and only left out the story of his reunion with the Miyazawa sisters.

At present, it is still unclear what the real purpose of the system is. It seems to be targeting things happening around you. The rewards are also very limited. The highest amount received so far is only 100,000 yuan.

The only thing that could arouse his partial interest was probably the physical enhancement that could be obtained by continuing to delve deeper into the "truth".

This thing is much more real than money. There are many ways to make money, but physical fitness requires long-term exercise to improve.

From this point of view alone, it seemed necessary for him to continue with the task given by the system, not to mention that he was very interested in the so-called truth.

"Let's just follow the system's instructions for now. Get in touch with the Miyazawa sisters and find out what the truth is. Then, try to get more rewards and see where the system's ceiling lies."

Sawayama Haruno wrote down his goals in a notebook in simple words.

This is what he needs to do in the short term.

The corresponding long-term task is to find a way to avoid being scolded by parents after returning home. However, this is still a long way off. The island country is a country with many holidays but the holidays are very short. The next long vacation is probably after winter.

There are only two tasks in total, short-term and long-term.

Looking at the contents of the notebook with obvious blank spaces, Sawayama Haruno fell into deep thought.

"Is it time to try other ways to make money?" he said to himself.

It is not advisable to blindly rely on the system. Sawayama Haruno cannot be sure when it will disappear. What's more, the reward money is too little, far from enough to cover his current expenses.

To be on the safe side, it is best to start the money-making plan that was made in advance.

As a person who has learned from the experiences and lessons of his previous life and has fully clarified his own goals, Sawayama Haruno had already formulated a plan to make money in this life.

It is nothing more than imitating the predecessors such as the reborn ones and time travelers, and using the knowledge in one's mind to create.

This is a parallel world, and naturally it is different from his previous life in some cultural aspects. He can take the well-known plagiarism route and bring out some outstanding works.

He actually started preparing for this plan a long time ago, including in high school and now in college where he was admitted to the liberal arts major, also to prepare for this.

The reason why he didn't start these plans earlier was because he was a rather lazy person. Unless it was something very important like further studies, he would usually procrastinate.

——You have already opened a second life, but you still have to work hard from a young age. What’s the difference between living and not living?

But it is different now. University students are already halfway into society. The next few years may seem very long, but in fact they will pass in the blink of an eye. I have no intention of continuing my studies, so I will most likely go out to work after graduation.

If you don't want to work for others, it's best to make plans for making money in the future now.

“Let’s list them first.”

Sawayama Haruno thought about it and temporarily put the plagiarist's plan into the long-term task.

He still needs to observe for a while. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife makes the work of chopping wood easier. Moreover, he is not sure what type of works to move.

The song part can be directly passed. He didn't have much interest in this aspect in his previous life. What's more, if he copied the songs, it would be very difficult to produce and publish them. In addition, the entertainment industry in the island country is actually quite dark. He still prefers easier jobs.

From this perspective, it seems that transferring literary works is the easiest thing, but the problem arises again. Most of the famous works that Sawayama Haruno remembers are from abroad, and few of the works from the island country leave a deep impression on him.

When copying this kind of literary work, if a certain plot is missed, or the description of a certain part is not up to par, it will make people feel that it is out of place and like an ugly imitator.

Even if we put this aside, in today's era, mobile phones and other forms of entertainment are the mainstream. Copying a book similar to "Norwegian Wood" will definitely be popular, but it is hard to say how much money you can make. After all, there are too many influencing factors, and it requires long-term consideration.

"It's really troublesome."

Sawayama Haruno wrote all his plans in the long-term task column, then threw down his pen and sighed tiredly.

In fact, what he was most worried about was that he would not be able to reproduce it perfectly. After all, when he read literary works in his previous life, he just read them in a hurry. After such a long time, some parts and plots would definitely be forgotten.

What if other literary masters discovered his imitation and demanded to know where his original works were? He had no confidence in solving such a problem.

"It would be great if the system could find a way to increase my memory capabilities."

Sawayama Haruno thought that if the system could even enhance physical fitness, then it should be no problem to enhance the brain's memory function, right?

——It seems that I need to pay more attention to the system's tasks.

He picked up the phone on the table and took a look. Time had quietly passed to around 2:30 in the afternoon.

He scratched his hair, stuffed the notebook on the desk back into the drawer, then stood up and walked towards the soft big bed at the back.

sleep!

Sawayama Haruno lay back on the bed, adjusted the air conditioner to a suitable temperature, and pulled up the quilt, then he showed a satisfied smile.

Don’t do things that you can do without, and do things that you must do slowly.

There is no need to rush about long-term tasks. It is still a question whether I can get this plan on track before I graduate from university.

Now he just needs to conserve his energy and wait until the evening to meet Miyazawa Mana.

Chapter 21 Sister Mana's Pouting

At 6:30 in the evening, Sawayama Haruno was successfully awakened by the sound of his cell phone alarm.

He closed his eyes and instinctively took the phone from the bedside table. He turned off the alarm clock in two or three clicks, threw it back, turned over and continued to sleep.

——Of course, this is impossible.

He had an appointment in the evening, so it was almost time for him to get up and get himself ready.

After hesitating for a long time, Sawayama Haruno finally got up, looking a little tired, and prepared to take a shower. After he entered the bathroom and "stood in punishment" for a while, his consciousness gradually became clear.

Sawayama Haruno turned on the showerhead while yawning. The relatively warm water flowed down his face and the boy closed his eyes comfortably.

He thought that the living room outside was so quiet, it seemed that Miyazawa Maki was probably not awake yet.

Yes, the other party drank so much alcohol as if he was asking for death. He probably won’t wake up unless he sleeps until ten or eleven o’clock at night. I just don’t know how to explain to him when I see Mana later.

Would the other person think that I got her sister drunk on purpose?

No. That shouldn't be the case. Mana is a very considerate and gentle person. She should be able to guess that it was Maki who was clamoring for a drink.

"I don't know if I can send Maki back tonight," thought Sawayama Haruno.

The answer is probably no, because given Maki's current condition, even if she is sent back, she will probably continue to quarrel with her family and then run away from home again. It seems that it is almost impossible to get her to get along well with her family before she completely ends her "rebellious period".

I just don’t know what Mana will say later. If she is asked to continue to take in Maki, will she refuse or agree?

Sawayama Haruno didn't figure it out either, but the meeting with Mana was going to happen later, so he might as well wait and see.

He simply took a shower and changed into a clean set of casual clothes. Before leaving, he went to check on Maki. As expected, she was sleeping soundly between the sheets, with her shirt half lifted up, revealing her white belly.

Sawayama Haruno took a few glances and had no intention of going in. He closed the door again and set out to meet Miyazawa Mana.

The location they agreed upon was actually in Shinjuku, as close to their homes as possible. It was a restaurant where he and Mana would often go on dates and eat when they were in high school.

Perhaps Sawayama Haruno came too early, and when he arrived, he did not see Miyazawa Mana.

He casually told the waiter Miyazawa Mana's mobile phone number and successfully obtained the seat number reserved by the other party. After sitting down, Sawayama Haruno supported his face with his hands and began to wait patiently.
