Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

Sawayama Haruno closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

He carefully felt the "skills" and "knowledge" that appeared in his mind, as if what he could imagine now was only a tiny part of it. He would have to wait until the day he really needed it to remember how much there was.

It seems that the plan that focuses on completing system tasks is correct.

But how should I face the Miyazawa sisters next?

Chapter 29 Maki, are you full?

Miyazawa Maki takes a very long time to take a bath. Even when the sound of water stops, she still stays in it for a long time and refuses to come out.

Probably the same as Sawayama Haruno, not knowing what expression to use to face the other person.

After calming down, the relationship and distance that both parties should have maintained emerged.

No matter how long it has been since Sawayama Haruno and Miyazawa Mana broke up, things that cannot be done cannot be done. Moreover, she herself knows that Mana's feelings for Sawayama Haruno have not completely faded.

Pulling my brother-in-law to do that kind of thing

Just thinking about it made Miyazawa Maki feel weak all over.

Fortunately, Sawayama Haruno's voice came from outside, briefly awakening her remaining sanity.

The other party said gently: "The noodles are getting cold, haven't you washed them yet?"

".Wordy."

Miyazawa Maki bit her lip lightly, quickly put on her clothes, and opened the bathroom door.

White steam poured out from behind her, and the girl's short hair drooped around her neck, completely different from its previous slightly curly look, but it gave people a more broken feeling, making people want to love her well.

"What are you looking at? You are not allowed to look at it."

Noticing Sawayama Haruno's gaze, Miyazawa Maki became even more embarrassed and angry.

She pushed Sawayama Haruno hard, then walked towards the living room angrily.

The sudden explosion of anger would probably confuse anyone.

However, Sawayama Haruno felt that he had more or less figured out the other person's temper. This should be an extreme reaction that Miyazawa Maki would make when she was shy.

"Just like a cat, it gets stressed out and gets angry at the slightest provocation." Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Obviously, this guy was the one who took the initiative before.

Sawayama Haruno shook his head and didn't think any more. He followed behind Miyazawa Maki, and before the other party rashly rummaged for the bowl and chopsticks, he took them out first and even packed the noodles and handed them over.

The other party did not say thank you. Instead, he pursed his lips tightly, tightened his face, and put on a slightly "weird" posture.

It's just that his eyes kept drifting back and forth.

"Eat quickly."

Sawayama Haruno handed the bowl over again and added, "If it's not enough, there's more inside."

".oh."

After hesitating for a moment, Miyazawa Maki was finally defeated by the hunger in her stomach. She picked up the chopsticks silently and began to eat the noodles in small bites.

After taking just two bites, she seemed to remember something and her face turned red again.

"Forget everything that happened just now!"

".I have forgotten it."

"Humph"

Seeing that Sawayama Haruno acted as if he had really forgotten about it, Miyazawa Maki didn't want to continue to embarrass him and could only vent all her shame and anger on the noodles.

Fortunately, this time I finally didn't survive because of my family's self-righteous "good intentions".

At least now, it seems that I can find a corner suitable for my survival in Zeshan Haruno.

"Tomorrow, I have to go to school."

Seeing that Miyazawa Maki's mood was gradually stabilizing, Sawayama Haruno also sat down and asked tentatively: "Do you have any plans?"

".You take care of me."

What do you care about me? The subtext is that I don’t care.

Zeshan Haruno pondered for a moment, then continued, "Do you want me to ask for leave?"

"You're crazy, why are you asking for leave? I don't need you to do this for me."

Miyazawa Maki immediately showed an even more disgusted expression and muttered, "I can take care of myself. You don't need to worry about me."

"Ok."

Sawayama Haruno sighed and said nothing more. Instead, he stood up and walked towards his bedroom.

After a while, he came back with a card and a key.

"This card is the ID card for apartment residents, and the key is for the front door of the house. There are only two copies, so don't lose them."

As he said that, he handed the thing over.

"Have you spent all the money I gave you before? Do you need me to get you some more?"

Your sister will reimburse you anyway.

Well. Now, even if not for your sister's sake, I seem to have to show some "sincerity" to take care of you.

"No need. I didn't say I wanted to run off somewhere." Miyazawa Maki slurped a mouthful of noodles and said impatiently, "Just do what you want. I'm not a child who needs to be reminded of this or that."

Sawayama Haruno took a deep breath and felt his hands itching.

I really want to hit him on the head.

Perhaps sensing Sawayama Haruno's "restless" intention, Miyazawa Maki quickly stopped pretending to be fierce.

She bit her chopsticks and explained in a low voice, "Anyway, you don't need to worry about anything else. At most, I'll go out and find something fun and then come back."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Zeshan Haruno immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction.

It seems that he has reached a "strategic cooperation" with Miyazawa Maki, and the other party has also accepted the fact that she will temporarily live in his house.

As long as she doesn't do anything wrong and just runs off to play and disappear when I'm not around, that's fine.

Although what happened in the bedroom before was a bit unfair to Miyazawa Mana, it made Miyazawa Maki reluctantly take off some of her tsundere disguise. At least now she will not think about causing trouble again.

Miyazawa Maki didn't understand what Sawayama Haruno was thinking at the moment. After she finished all the noodles in the bowl in two or three bites, she put down her chopsticks and said casually: "I'm full, I don't want any more."

There is still some left in the kitchen.

But it was obvious that Miyazawa Maki would not eat anymore. After leaving the remaining dishes to Sawayama Haruno with peace of mind, she ran to the living room, collapsed on the sofa with her legs crossed, picked up the remote control on the table very familiarly, turned on the TV and selected a midnight program.

Perhaps she thought that she had already paid this part of the "reward" in advance. If Sawayama Haruno wanted her to clean up the mess herself, this rebellious girl would probably do the same thing again.

“It’s great, but forget it.”

Sawayama Haruno rubbed his face.

It's so twisted. Although I'm enjoying myself, I feel uncomfortable thinking about running into Mana at school later.

How should I face two exactly the same faces?

Let's put this matter aside for now. Sawayama Haruno no longer had the heart to delve into it further. After cleaning up all the dishes, he took out his clothes for a change and prepared to take a bath.

What happened today was really too much for him. It was beyond what a "salted fish" like him could handle.

Not to mention that the rewards issued by the system also seemed to have caused some mental fatigue.

Now I just feel my brain is so heavy that I want to fall down and fall asleep.

Chapter 30 Shiori's Silent Attention

The next morning, it was the sound of the TV coming from the living room that woke Sawayama Haruno up before the alarm clock.

He opened his eyes somewhat dazedly, and as he stared at the familiar ceiling, he felt abundant strength in his body.

It was different from the usual feeling of just waking up. In the past, when he just woke up, he felt that every part of his body was extremely heavy and he had to stay in bed for a while before he could wake up completely. But now he just felt very light.

Of course, the brain's dullness has not yet fully recovered.

"Is this also a reward from the system?"

Sawayama Haruno stretched out his hand, clenched his fist in the air, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

It felt like the system's reward had instantly raised his quality from that of an average person to a level almost comparable to that of an athlete.

Of course, whether they are really comparable remains to be seen for the time being. After all, Sawayama Haruno has not actually tested it. However, when he was taking a shower yesterday, he did see his abdominal muscles faintly visible through the mirror.

I have to say, this kind of reward is really convenient and useful.

Now that he was awake, Sawayama Haruno simply sat up and prepared to get up and wash up.

The sound of the TV outside the living room seemed to have never stopped all night. I really don't know what Maki Miyazawa was watching. She was still enjoying it so much after watching it for so long.

"Seven forty-one."

Sawayama Haruno grabbed his phone, glanced at it for a few seconds, then put it back to charge, then stood up and walked towards the bathroom in the room.

When he washed up and came out to the living room, the first thing he saw was a pile of food on the table.

Judging from the packaging, it is definitely McDonald's.

"Oh, you're awake."

Maki Miyazawa still maintained the same posture as yesterday, slumped on the sofa, watching TV with her legs crossed.

The only difference was that she was holding a huge McDonald's paper bag in her hand, which seemed to be filled with a lot of French fries. She seemed to have not stopped eating until now.

"Did you not sleep all night?"

Sawayama Haruno was a little confused.

"I didn't sleep. I slept for so long yesterday." Miyazawa Maki grabbed a handful of French fries from the paper bag and stuffed them into her mouth, yelling incoherently, "It doesn't matter if I catch up on my sleep in the afternoon, or do you have to control me even on this?"

"I don't mind what time you go to bed."

Sawayama Haruno shook his head and stopped hesitating about it. Instead, he took out a hamburger from the McDonald's paper bag on the table.

Good, it's his breakfast.

Although it's a bit cold, it's convenient and looks delicious. If I don't eat it now, I can just buy a bread from a convenience store on the way to school. Compared to the two, I think it's better to choose a hamburger.

With meat and vegetables, who dares to say that hamburgers are junk food?

Maki Miyazawa didn't seem to complain about his "food snatching" behavior. Maybe she ordered too much and couldn't eat it anymore. Haruno Sawayama picked a few items for breakfast, and after eating them all, he packed up and went to school early.

The weather in Tokyo in late July began to become more and more hot and humid, and before I knew it, the weather icon for showers appeared in the phone notifications again.

Sawayama Haruno didn't notice this information until he got on the train.

But it was obvious that he noticed it too late. After coming out of the station, the originally fierce sun was now completely blocked by dark clouds. It was clear that it would rain heavily soon.

Seeing the weather change, Sawayama Haruno quickened his pace and arrived at the classroom before class.

Although he had arrived at school early, there were still more students who had arrived at the classroom before him. After entering from the door, Sawayama Haruno first glanced around calmly, and then decided to walk towards the middle of the classroom.

But when he was halfway there, his eyes met with the gloomy girl sitting in the last row of the classroom.

The other party came so early today just to grab a seat at the back?

Sawayama Haruno was a little surprised. He paused and then walked towards the back row of the classroom.

"Good morning, Shiori."

After getting closer, Sawayama Haruno took the initiative to greet him.

"Good morning, Haruno."

Mine Shiori lowered her head as usual and greeted Sawayama Haruno in a somewhat calm tone.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but her complexion today seems to be much worse than yesterday at noon.

"I'm sorry about what happened yesterday afternoon."

Sawayama Haruno sat down openly, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Actually, that's not Mana, that's Mana's twin sister."

Then, Sawayama Haruno explained what happened yesterday.
