Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

It's not like he doesn't know anything about the Ezaki family.

In fact, after having a relationship with Suguha Ezaki, he would pretend to ask her about things intentionally or unintentionally whenever he had time.

To a certain extent, I have learned about the current situation of the Ezaki family.

"I still think it's better to let Suguha make the decision herself." Sawayama Haruno said seriously.

"I have the same idea as you."

Naoto Ezaki shrugged and sneered, "A blind date. Actually, you're going to use it to this extent."

"I thought I was living in the Meiji era. Are all the uncles and aunts in my family really old?"

When he said this, his face looked gloomy and scary.

Haruno Sawayama was very sensitive in capturing the changes in Naoto Esaki's facial expressions.

It seems that it is exactly the same as what Ezaki Suguha said, Naoto seems to have a lot of opinions about the "elders" in the family.

This opinion was so big that he didn't even bother to hide it in front of an outsider like me.

No wonder the other members of the Ezaki family are so eager for Suguha to step up and take over the position of head of the family.

If Naoto Ezaki really takes office, these uncles and aunts who are already old in his eyes will probably all have to retire early and enjoy their retirement.

But if Sawayama Haruno were to say, he would actually prefer Naoto to take the position.

After all, compared to those relatives who only forced Suguha to do things she was unwilling to do, Naoto Ezaki seemed more friendly.

To put it bluntly, those relatives of the Ezaki family are actually a disguised form of "moral kidnapping" of Suguha.

He used the fact that she had enjoyed a lot of family resources as an excuse to force her to do things she didn't want to do.

But the problem lies here. Ezaki Suguha was still young at that time and did not have the ability to reject the "good intentions" from the Ezaki family. Therefore, these things were unfair from the very beginning.

If Sawayama Haruno himself were to say it, it would be - "I support Naoto-san to be the next leader."

But the idea is good, but the reality is very bleak.

Because Suguha's biological mother stood with that group of relatives.

"You don't have to worry too much."

After a moment's silence, Naoto Ezaki took the initiative to pat Sawayama Haruno on the shoulder.

He just smiled and said, "I will help with Suguha's affairs. After all, she is only a 17-year-old girl. It doesn't make sense to let such a young girl go on a blind date."

"Leave the matters concerning the relatives to me. As for the matter concerning Suguha's mother, I will also try to convince her."

"Really?" Zeshan Haruno frowned and asked subconsciously, "Is there anything I can do?"

Anyway, he estimated that Naoto Ezaki, a shrewd man, had probably seen through the relationship between him and Suguha, so in that case he might as well be more direct in his words.

The main purpose of saying this is actually to express my opinion of Suguha.

Obviously, the other party seemed to understand it as well.

After a brief pause, Naoto Ezaki immediately said with a smile, "Of course."

"Suguha and I both have a grandfather. Although he is old now and doesn't often go out, he is still the helmsman of the Ezaki family."

Naoto Ezaki paused for a moment and then pointed out something else: "Grandfather had two hobbies. One was kendo. This was one of the family etiquettes that the Ezaki family had adhered to since the last century. All family members had more or less contact with kendo."

The so-called elegance in the upper class society.

Sawayama Haruno thought to himself, I know so much, not only about kendo, but also about archery, tea ceremony and other things.

The richer a family is, the more they value these hobbies.

Fortunately, Sawayama Haruno is also able to "please the other party for his own benefit".

He possesses the magical skill of "skill improvement". As long as he learns something, his proficiency will be greatly improved.

It doesn't matter even if he knows nothing about kendo now. As long as he spends some time learning, he will be able to master it soon.

What's more, once he completes Zhiye's system task, he will also get a reward of "improved learning ability". With the combination of the two, kendo is not a difficult task for him at all.

Once he learns it, his proficiency will be improved to an alarming level. Moreover, his physical fitness is also there, which can be said to be naturally advantageous.

As if he didn't notice Sawayama Haruno's confidence, Naoto Ezaki continued to chatter, "Besides kendo, my grandfather has another hobby."

"It may be due to the influence of the Showa era. My grandfather's generation was a generation that had difficulty in obtaining education. However, my grandfather was a person who admired intellectuals and he attached great importance to education within the family."

"The more educated and famous a person is, the more respect he or she will receive from my grandfather. This is also related to the social status of scholars in the island country. Do you understand?"

"So that's it."

After hearing what he said, Sawayama Haruno's eyes suddenly lit up.

He understood this meaning very well.

I've heard from Ezaki Suguha before that her grandfather's generation started all over again from scratch and built the current industry from scratch.

Although my grandfather himself was not well educated, he admired and worshipped those who were educated - this is the admiration for the strong that is common among the islanders.

In that case, if "Norwegian Wood" becomes a hit, it means that I will have more impression points in front of Ezaki Suguha's grandfather?

Then things suddenly become much simpler.

As expected, the social status of literati is still very high, Zeshan Haruno sighed in his heart.

"It's good if you understand."

Naoto Esaki patted his shoulder again with a smile on his face.

He knew very well what kind of people were invited to this dinner.

He also knew why Sawayama Haruno was in Kyoto and why he was here.

That's why they are so optimistic about each other.

It's not just because Ezaki Suguha is interested in this guy, but also because the strengths he shows are very much to her grandfather's liking.

Thinking of this, Naoto Ezaki pondered for a moment, and then added: "Let's do this."

"Do you have some free time when you return to Tokyo? If you have the chance, I'll take you to see Grandpa. I also want to talk to him about family matters."

"convenient?"

Sawayama Haruno was immediately interested.

"It's not convenient or inconvenient. It's going to happen sooner or later anyway."

"Right?"

Naoto Esaki smiled slightly.

The other party seemed to know more than he let on.

But it's true. Ezaki Suguha had used his connections to get Mine Shiori into Kodansha.

This shows that Naoto Ezaki should also be paying attention to the internal situation of the Otowa Group, so it is only natural that he would notice the existence of Sawayama Haruno.

The only thing Naoto Ezaki might not know is that he actually has another girlfriend.

Um.

The other party might not know that his relationship with Suguha had advanced by leaps and bounds in the past few days.

Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno felt inexplicably guilty.

After coughing twice, he said solemnly: "Then I'll leave it to Senior Jiang Qi."

"Just call me Naoto."

Naoto Ezaki said casually.

He was about to say something, but at that moment someone came over with a glass of wine.

Seeing this, he nodded slightly apologetically to Sawayama Haruno, who also tacitly stepped back and took the initiative to make room for them to continue chatting.

Things have made satisfactory progress, and Sawayama Haruno is in an extremely happy mood at the moment.

This time, I not only received recognition from the Ishizawa family and the group, but also saw hope in solving the problems of the Ezaki family.

It can be said that it was a dinner with great harvest.

After putting all his worries aside, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but feel a little leisurely, so he started to walk around the villa with a glass of wine in hand.

In addition to the banquet hall, there seems to be a back garden as you continue walking back, and the garden is connected to other places inside the manor.

Taking advantage of the time when no one was disturbing him, Sawayama Haruno took a walk around.

I have to say that the manor used by the Ishizawa family to entertain distinguished guests is so luxurious that it is unimaginable.

Even Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but feel moved after seeing the luxurious interior decoration.

He was now standing on the corridor facing the back garden, carefully examining a piece of brightly colored porcelain.

"Pearl-colored celadon is said to be a type of porcelain that was brought in from overseas during the Song Dynasty."

I don't know when a slightly short and flat girl appeared next to me.

She was also staring at the exquisite porcelain in front of her, muttering, "Ancient Chinese porcelain craftsmanship is truly impressive. Have you ever heard of it?"

Of course, Sawayama Haruno thought.

Although I don't have a very thorough understanding of it, when I was in junior high school, I had to memorize the history of the Song Dynasty in history class, which included a lot of knowledge points about the development of the porcelain industry in the Song Dynasty.

Ever since he obtained "organ strengthening", his memory has improved and his memory of past events has become clearer.

I think you can fool the other person by just quoting a few knowledge points from the textbook.

However, Zeshan Haruno did not do so, but instead asked: "Is this the real thing?"

"Of course it's genuine. It's very expensive. I bought it from an auction."

Ishizawa Kaori paused for a moment and said leisurely, "The Song Dynasty had a developed maritime industry at that time, and there were many of their porcelains circulating between the peninsula and the island countries. This is one of the rare treasures that has been preserved."

"Besides that, most of the ones circulating in the market are actually just some of the manufacturing techniques used to forge fakes. Of course, in front of real experts, the flaws will be revealed at a glance."

"You know a lot about it," Sawayama Haruno said casually, stroking his chin. "Do you like porcelain?"

"It's not that I like porcelain, it's that I like this culture."

Ishizawa Kaori corrected, "It's not just porcelain that is collected by our family, there are many other things as well. If I have the chance, I would like to go and take a look."

"Yeah."

Sawayama Haruno shrugged.

It’s good to have children from rich families. While other people of your age are still eating, drinking and having fun all day, children from rich families have already started thinking about how to see the world.

The world is indeed very different, but it is also true that the other party is the little princess of the Ishizawa family after all.

Um.

He has already guessed the other party's identity.

It was so easy to guess. The other person looked like a junior high school student, which was exactly the same as the information Miss Morikawa had told him before.

What he didn't expect was that the other party would actually come forward and talk to him.

As if she noticed his gaze, Ishizawa Kaori turned around and said with a smile: "I have also read the book written by the teacher. It is very well written."

"You're too kind." Sawayama Haruno said casually.

You really can see into it.

A book that's almost indistinguishable from pornographic books might not be suitable for a girl of your age, right?

While thinking this, the other party's next words made Sawayama Haruno confused on the spot.

Ishizawa Kaori asked with a little curiosity: "Is there a more in-depth version?"

".?"

The corner of Sawayama Haruno's eye twitched slightly.

Is that the more profound version?

That's what I mean.
