Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

Thinking of this, Zeshan Haruno looked at the other party and said softly, "Then let's go together."

"Ah."

The smile on Mine Shiori's face grew even brighter.

In the past, it was rare to see her smile, and even if she did, it was just a faint smile.

Most of the time, the other party is more of a gloomy literary girl type, but it is obvious that today is a little different.

As for why, Zeshan Haruno still knew.

There was one more person in the visiting team, but it didn't affect anything. After passing through the forest path and entering the courtyard belonging to Ezaki Suguha, Sawayama Haruno deliberately walked a few steps faster, leaving Mine Shiori not far behind.

Then he rushed to the sliding door outside the room and called out softly, "Suguha?"

"Are you okay? Shiori and I are here."

Tell her in advance that Mine Shiori will be coming along, so that at least Ezaki Suguha can be mentally prepared.

Given her sensitive intuition on such matters, she should cooperate with me and pretend to be confused in front of Mine Shiori.

Sure enough, after hearing Sawayama Haruno's call, Ezaki Suguha's calm voice soon came from the room.

"Please come in——"

"excuse me."

Sawayama Haruno spoke softly, then carefully opened the door.

Mine Shiori had already walked over and was standing next to him.

As the sliding door slowly opened, a faint fragrance wafted out of the room. The short white curtains on both sides of the window were slowly fluttering, and Ezaki Naoha was staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

"Suguha?!"

What brought her back to reality was Mine Shiori's exclamation.

The latter looked at her with concern, hesitantly saying, "Your neck."

"this one?"

Ezaki Suguha turned around and subconsciously touched the thing wrapped around her neck.

After staring at Sawayama Haruno and remaining silent for a few seconds, she slowly spoke, "I accidentally injured my neck when I was out playing yesterday. This is a medical bandage to repair muscle damage."

"you."

Mine Shiori was somewhat speechless.

As expected, Suguha did not surprise her at all.

In the morning, she guessed that the other party had gone to discuss kendo with friends yesterday afternoon.

Now that I look at it, it turns out that he sprained his neck. The intensity of the communication was a bit too strong.

"Are you okay?"

Sawayama Haruno at the side asked in a low voice.

His eyes kept scanning Ezaki Suguha's neck with a slightly worried look.

He knew very well that it was not a muscle injury.

The medical bandage may be real, but its real purpose is to cover up the pinch marks left by accident last night.

"Nothing."

Hearing Sawayama Haruno's concern, Ezaki Suguha couldn't help but smile gently.

But when she realized that Mine Shiori was right beside her, she quickly suppressed the slightly raised corners of her mouth.

"I've applied cold compress, so I feel much better."

"Is it really to the point of using cold compresses?" Mine Shiori, who didn't know the truth, couldn't help but ask again, "Do we need to go to the hospital?"

"No, it's just a strain. This has happened many times during training before."

"Is this so"

Seeing that Suguha Ezaki said this, Mine Shiori felt it difficult to continue insisting.

But after slowly sitting down on the tatami with Sawayama Haruno, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at the medical bandage on Ezaki Suguha's neck.

bandage

It seems to look pretty good just wrapped around the neck like this?

Mine Shiori's face suddenly turned red.

The reason for this was very simple. She once imagined that Sawayama Haruno would give her a collar with a small bell.

However, since her main fetish is still about pain, she is not very obsessed with this aspect.

If you think about it, there seems to be a way for girls to play with bandages?

The whole body is just wrapped in bandages, without any extra clothes.

Ugh, if only Haruno could tie himself up with some bandages.

Shiori Mine became more and more embarrassed, so much so that when Haruno Sawayama and Suguha Ezaki started chatting next to her, she didn't dare to look up at them, but lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

"Are there any other injuries on your body? Have you applied any medicine?" Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"It's all painted, don't worry."

Ezaki Suguha was a little embarrassed to look at him, so she could only look away in a panic and said softly, "It will probably be fine in a few days. My body recovers very quickly."

I dare not look at you at all

As soon as I look into the other person's eyes, my heartbeat will inexplicably speed up.

It was pounding inside my body.

Even the face and body will feel slightly warmer.

There's a sense of embarrassment that makes my toes wiggle restlessly.

It's a really novel experience

She thought to herself, is this what love is?

Although it was just an underground relationship, a master-servant relationship, this sweet feeling still made her unable to stop.

Even after forcibly looking away, I always can't help but want to take a peek at the other person's face, and then look at it again. As I look at it, I feel like crawling over and giving them a kiss.

No.

The master is still here, I can’t think about such things.

Ezaki Suguha took a few deep breaths and forced a smile, "The preliminary round will begin this afternoon, right? Will Haruno be nervous?"

"I'm fine."

Sawayama Haruno smiled helplessly, "Actually I went out for a while at noon today, and Ms. Morikawa asked me to take a look at the manuscripts of other authors in the group."

“There are probably only one or two people who make me feel a little uncomfortable about this?” he added.

"Yeah."

Ezaki Suguha pursed her lips.

She knew that Sawayama Haruno was probably being humble, but when it came to this kind of competition, it certainly wouldn't be that simple.

Although it was unclear what the four major publishing groups were thinking internally, Ezaki Suguha still knew who the sponsor of this competition was, and he also knew that the four major publishing groups all wanted to make each other happy.

Honestly speaking, it's not impossible to go through the back door, but I'm worried that Haruno will be unhappy.

She hopes to make the other person happy, and winning is the best way to do that, but she doesn't want to embarrass the other person.

After thinking for a while, Suguha Ezaki finally found her own way.

"I still have confidence in Haruno, even though I haven't read much of the book yet."

Ezaki Suguha paused for a moment, smiled and said, "But I like it very much."

like you.

She added internally.

Of course, there are ways to make the other person happy without embarrassing them.

Instead of using backdoors to let Sawayama Haruno win the championship, she just had to find a way to increase the probability of Princess Ishizawa seeing her book.

As long as the other party can see it first, or take a few more glances at it, leaving a deep enough first impression, the probability of winning will be greatly increased.

And Ezaki Suguha has also figured out what to do.

As long as he could signal the top management of Otowa Group and pretend to accidentally tell others that she had come to Kyoto with them, the Ishizawa family would naturally be curious after hearing about it and would pay more attention to Sawayama Haruno.

A perfect plan.

At least that's what Suguha Ezaki thought.

"Thank you, Suguha."

Oblivious to her hidden thoughts, Sawayama Haruno assumed she was trying to encourage him, so he smiled and said, "I'm still pretty confident. At least in the top five. If I didn't want to sound too complacent, I'd actually say top three."

He felt that he was being low-key by saying he was in the top three. If it weren’t for the sponsor, who else could have taken first place if not him?

Let Natsume Soseki be reborn into this parallel world and compete with him.

Chapter 179 The ensuing sense of guilt

Suguha Ezaki's actions are incredibly efficient.

After Sawayama Haruno and Mine Shiori had almost finished their visit and had returned to their own courtyards to rest, she immediately picked up the phone and called someone she knew at the Otowa Group.

In fact, with her status and position, it is not difficult for her to get the contact information of the Ishizawa family, but doing so will make her relationship with Sawayama Haruno public.

If he goes too far and is discovered by the other uncles of the Ezaki family, they will become an obstacle to Sawayama Haruno. Therefore, Ezaki Suguha has no choice but to take such a roundabout approach.

Fortunately, judging from the current conclusions, it should be able to play a certain role.

After making a phone call to arrange these matters, Ezaki Suguha sat back in her original seat and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The girl's graceful body, which was tense at the moment, was also relaxing bit by bit.

She touched the medical bandage around her neck and a sweet smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

"This should be fine, right?"

she thought.

Ding--

The message alert on her cell phone interrupted the tall girl's thoughts.

She tilted her head slightly and saw the screen of her mobile phone light up, with a LINE message popping up.

After picking it up and taking a look, Ezaki Suguha's heart suddenly tightened.

It was a message from Miyazawa Maki.

"."

Suguha Ezaki opened her mouth.

The sweet feeling that previously filled the body was like a burst bubble illusion. It disappeared without a trace in an instant after the appearance of the "real girlfriend".

After a moment's silence, Ezaki Naoha gave a wry smile and carefully unlocked the screen.

[Stupid Haruno: Suguha Suguha, big crisis! ]

"Big crisis?"

After reading the message sent by the other party, Ezaki Suguha was confused for a moment, but soon heaved a sigh of relief.

From this point of view, it seems that Maki hasn't realized anything yet.

That's right, Haruno shouldn't tell the other party.

There was no third party watching what happened last night.

Even Maki couldn't have guessed that she had drugged Haruno to force herself on her last night.
