Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

"We were just discussing doing something else, but then the kitten suddenly got angry."

Ayano Yui on the side gave an enthusiastic explanation.

However, her help to Sawayama Haruno seemed to end there. After patting him on the shoulder again and giving him a sympathetic look, she ran over with a smile and chose to join.

As one of the invited guests, Suguha Ezaki had no choice but to stay in the living room.

Only Sawayama Haruno was standing between the living room and the kitchen, with debris all over the floor on one side and three sweet-smelling girls playing games together on the other side.

How could it become like this.

Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

I remember when I first moved into this house, I was still sighing about how happy it was to live alone. But in the blink of an eye, I became a "coolie" for the other three people?

Wait, if I remember correctly, there seems to be a very familiar anime, and it seems a bit similar to the current scene.

I remember it was called "What's the hot girl"?

Aside from not being hot chicks in character, the situations of these three guys are strangely consistent.

Sawayama Haruno complained in his heart while starting to pack his things.

In the living room, three young girls had already spread out the tablecloth for the board game. They were going to play Hanafuda, a traditional tabletop card game that has been passed down from ancient times in the island nation to this day. Because it is so popular, even people who have rarely played it can know the specific rules and how to play.

To put it simply, at the beginning each person has eight cards in his hand, and another eight are placed on the table. Then you can pair them in order. After pairing, you can draw cards from the pile on the side to continue pairing. The one with the highest score at the end is the winner.

Sawayama Haruno had never played this kind of card game, but he had seen his friends play it when he was in elementary school, so he had some understanding of it.

However, games like Hanafuda cards involve too much luck and are more entertaining, without any psychological game skills involved. Therefore, Sawayama Haruno is not very interested in them. If you must say, he may be more interested in Soul of Mahjong than this.

Of course, although I am not very interested in playing it myself, I am still interested in watching others play it.

Especially, he could secretly observe whether Maki was angry or not.

So after cleaning up the kitchen, he quickly prepared the cut fruits and then tiptoed to the living room.

Chapter 221 Maki’s true feelings!

"whispering sound"

As soon as she put the cut fruit on the table, Miyazawa Maki snorted somewhat unhappily.

The reason was simple, she just happened to draw a "butterfly".

This is a special pattern card in Hanafuda. If you want to score points with it, you need to combine it with two other cards of different patterns. Only after it becomes "Pig", "Deer" and "Butterfly" can you add five points.

But Miyazawa Maki was very unlucky. The cards in her hand were not well distributed, and she didn't have any species cards (cards with animals or objects).

At this time, she touched a "butterfly" and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Humph--"

Miyazawa Maki seemed to blame the fault on Sawayama Haruno, and glared at him unhappily when she saw him approaching.

Sawayama Haruno coughed twice and pretended to be innocent as he sat behind Miyazawa Maki.

"It seems a bit boring to just play like this."

Ayano Yui took out a card that could be combined into a month, and said with a smile: "Do you want to add some kind of punishment?"

"Eh"

Miyazawa Maki opened her mouth, a little confused.

"That's normal, right? Who would play a card game without some kind of punishment?"

Ayano Yui looked at Sawayama Haruno, grinned and said, "What do you think, brother?"

".I think you guys can just have fun."

"Don't talk." Miyazawa Maki turned around and gave him a bad look.

"What kind of punishment?"

Ezaki Suguha spoke at the right time, "Do you want to transfer money?"

"Forget about the money, how about taking off your clothes as punishment?"

Ayano Yui stuck out her tongue and said with a grin, "We are all girls anyway, so we are not afraid of this, right?"

“Well, I’m a boy.”

"Strip punishment? But I..."

"What kind of punishment is this?"

Miyazawa Maki wrinkled her nose and said unhappily, "Let's change to truth or dare."

"Then let's do this."

Ayano Yui immediately agreed, and did not forget to glance at Sawayama Haruno.

You can tell from the look in this guy's eyes that he is planning something bad, Sawayama Haruno thought helplessly.

But now he has been deprived of his "right to speak" and can only watch these three guys play together.

But soon, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Maki Miyazawa.

Looking at the stack of "score cards" in front of Ezaki Suguha and Ayano Yui, she pouted a little unhappily.

"Damn, why is my luck so bad?" Miyazawa Maki muttered.

She now seriously suspected that someone sitting behind her had taken away all her good luck.

Thinking of this, Miyazawa Maki felt depressed, and simply changed her sitting position to a duck position while Ezaki Suguha was drawing cards.

Then, while the other two weren't noticing, she began to gently kick Sawayama Haruno with her little feet that were leaning towards him.

No pain at all

Sawayama Haruno looked down at himself being kicked around by her little feet, feeling a little helpless.

It's more like flirting.

But it's true that Miyazawa Maki can't really use much strength sitting like that, so she's probably just complaining about her bad luck in dealing cards.

But he had no choice. This card game that relied purely on luck was not even useful for testing memory.

In desperation, Sawayama Haruno had to pat Miyazawa Maki's feet to comfort her.

But he seemed to have forgotten how amazing Miyazawa Maki's train of thought was.

"Well?!"

Miyazawa Maki's face instantly turned red.

Ezaki Suguha, who was sitting opposite him, had just taken out a bare card and was frowning and thinking hard when he noticed her expression.

"What's wrong, Maki?"

"No, it's nothing."

Miyazawa Maki said in a panic.

She couldn't just say that Haruno touched her feet and made her itchy!

Damn it, this guy had to touch the soles of my feet which are the most ticklish. It must be intentional.

Maki Miyazawa became even angrier, especially after she inspected her hand and took out a completely useless "miscellaneous card", her expression became even worse.

I want to bite someone

"Hey, does it look like I have good luck today?"

Ayano Yui on the side suddenly smiled and casually turned over the card she had just drawn onto the table.

It was a "Ono Michikaze" card, belonging to the month of November.

Ayano Yui said that the reason she had good luck was because there were three cards of the same month on the field, and she could just eat them all.

"what"

Miyazawa Maki's face darkened instantly.

There weren't many cards left in the deck. Although she had scored a few points, they were all combinations with very small scores. At this point, she could basically give up directly.

"Maki-sister, why don't you just accept the punishment."

Ayano Yui obviously realized this, and she placed the remaining cards on the table, smiling and saying, "How about it, do you want to choose truth or dare?"

Miyazawa Maki didn't rush to answer her, but turned around and glared at Sawayama Haruno in shame and anger, then reluctantly said, "Truth be told."

"it is good!"

Ayano Yui slammed the table and asked without giving anyone else any time to react: "Question: What kind of play makes you happiest?"

"Hey??"

Sawayama Haruno was confused.

How did we get to this topic for no reason?

"This is a girls' game."

Seeing that her brother's eyes had turned a little hostile, Ayano Yui immediately pretended to be innocent and said, "Isn't this how we girls chat in private?"

"If you don't ask these questions, then what's the point?"

"There are so many interesting questions, hurry up and apologize to the other girls," Sawayama Haruno protested.

But what Ayano Yui said seemed to make sense. I had heard about it when I was in college in my previous life. The conversations in the girls' dormitory after lights out at night seemed to be quite extensive. The so-called close friends were the ones who would discuss this kind of thing from time to time, right?

Oh, so

Wouldn't it be redundant for me to sit here now?

Ignoring the argument between Sawayama Haruno and Ayano Yui, Miyazawa Maki looked at Esaki Suguha, then lowered her head in some confusion.

"Probably, it's just role-playing?" she said vaguely.

Um.

In a sense, the behavior between her and Haruno can indeed be called role-playing, right?

The only difference is that the character she plays is not an anime character or a novel character, but her own sister.

"That's it. That's it."

Ayano Yui didn't seem to mind her somewhat vague answer.

The bad girl swung her pigtails in front of her, touched her chin, and said with a smile, "Now that I have no problem, I can ask Suguha questions next."

"me."

Ezaki Suguha pursed her lips.

What happened today began to replay in her mind scene by scene.

From the moment he first realized the truth, to the revelation of his affair with Haruno, followed by his confession to Maki, and the "leave it alone for now" strategy they came up with.

Until now, I'm playing Hanafuda with others at Haruno's house.

Everything seemed like a dream, giving her a strong sense of unreality.

It was obvious that she seduced Maki's boyfriend, and even if we don't mention this seduction, there is still the matter of Miyazawa Mana.

Is it really okay for me to just follow Maki's example and put all these depressing things behind me?

Ezaki Suguha became a little confused.

Looking at Maki Miyazawa sitting opposite her, and Haruno Sawayama behind her.

After a long silence, she slowly spoke: "Maji, is there anything you want to avoid, or any behavior you have avoided?"

"what"

Miyazawa Maki scratched his face and said in surprise: "Of course there is."

"Rather, I'm avoiding a lot of things. I told Suguha about it this afternoon, right?"

Miyazawa Maki moved her feet restlessly, and after secretly kicking Sawayama Haruno, she curled her lips and explained: "Some things, the more clearly you think about them, the more troublesome they will be."

"I'm the type of person who thinks people are happier when they're a little confused now and then," Miyazawa Maki said casually, playing with the ends of her hair. "People who care too much about things won't be happy, right?"
