Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

She is definitely not the type of person who is good at thinking, and most of the time she does things on impulse.

When I decided to seduce Sawayama Haruno, it was also a rash idea. But isn't she much happier now than when she was at home?

There is food, drinks, fun, friends, and I raise a kitten with my boyfriend.

There's nothing else to think about.

Although it was indeed annoying that Haruno was related to Suguha, on second thought, he could neither blame Suguha nor cut off his relationship with Haruno.

Then just keep the current status quo.

Besides, she had been mentally prepared before, as she was familiar with what the island country's literary masters were like.

"Is this so"

After hearing Miyazawa Maki's answer, Ezaki Suguha lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

She was a little hesitant inside, but she hadn't made up her mind yet.

Sawayama Haruno, who was sitting opposite her, naturally saw all her changes, but because there were other people present, he couldn't say much.

Ayano Yui observed the expressions of the people in the field with some curiosity. After seeing her brother's guilty and guilty look, she said, "How about playing next time?"

"Come again."

Miyazawa Maki instantly became excited, and while shuffling the cards she muttered, "I don't believe my luck will be this bad next time."

"Would you like to change seats?"

Ayano Yui looked at her with a smile.

"Maybe it can be transferred."

There is actually a similar belief in changing luck at the card table in island countries, but it is ultimately just a superstition. Unless there is a special reason, or you are playing with friends, you basically won't change positions during a normal card game.

"Switch or not."

Miyazawa Maki thought of Sawayama Haruno sitting behind her and changed her tune, "Let's just play like this for now. It's only the first round."

Humph, it was just a temporary failure just now. A master doesn’t win the first round!

We will let these two know who is the uncrowned king of Hanafuda cards!

Chapter 222: Punishment for Suguha

The second round of Hanafuda games started soon.

But Sawayama Haruno, who was sitting behind Miyazawa Maki, seemed a little absent-minded.

Looking at Maki Miyazawa, whose feet were restless even when she was playing games, he couldn't help but sigh.

"After asking the question just now, it seems that this guy has become even angrier," he thought to himself.

No, I have to think of a way to make her happier now.

Sawayama Haruno pondered for a moment, then quietly got up and went to the kitchen to make some desserts.

Girls generally like sweets, and Miyazawa Maki is no exception. He plans to imitate the way he made cocktails in the past and make some low-alcohol cocktail sparkling drinks, as well as some fruit smoothies or ice creams.

This should help her feel a little better after losing the game.

Having finalized his idea, Sawayama Haruno quickly started tinkering with the dessert he was going to make in the kitchen.

However, the situation at the gaming table changed subtly shortly after he left.

"Three lights."

After touching a card, Maki Miyazawa happily placed the three "Light" cards in her hand in front of her.

Three bare cards can give her five points. The most important thing is that the other two players on the field should not have received the other bare cards yet. As long as she draws one more card, she can get eight points. If she draws two cards, she can get ten points.

As the rarest set of cards in Hanafuda, being able to draw three of them in such an early stage of the game basically means that Miyazawa Maki has won the game.

"What? Did your luck change once your brother left?"

Looking at the cards in her hand, Ayano Yui couldn't help but mutter a few words.

She also wanted to ask the other party if Haruno had any other "hobbies".

I should have taken advantage of this rare opportunity to find out about Haruno, but if I continue like this, I'm going to end up losing money.

Thinking of this, Ayano Yui glanced at Ezaki Suguha with some vigilance.

Not long after the start, Miyazawa Maki already had three goals in her hands. The only way for her to "stop the loss" now is to score more points than Esaki Suguha.

What made Ayano Yui a little unsure was that when Ezaki Suguha was playing the game, she had a very calm expression the whole time, and there was no way to guess how many cards she had in her hand that could be combined into a big score.

But just looking at the few small combination cards in front of her, she should have them in her hand.

"what happened?"

Noticing that Ayano Yui had been secretly looking at her, Ezaki Suguha subconsciously looked over and met her gaze.

"No." Ayano Yui blinked and said innocently, "I just thought Suguha was very tall and elegant, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

"Yeah."

Suguha Ezaki glanced down thoughtfully.

"It may be because of my regular exercise," she said uncertainly.

"Can I still grow taller by exercising now?"

Miyazawa Maki suddenly interrupted and asked.

She is actually a little dissatisfied with her height.

It’s not that being petite is a bad thing, it’s just that deep down she prefers herself to be a little taller.

Not only can it help me get rid of the worry of being the same height as Mana, but it can also make my legs look longer?

After all, Haruno is a leg-control freak, so he should prefer girls with long legs.

Huh.

Could this be the reason why he likes Suguha Ezaki?

Miyazawa Maki felt like she had discovered some very important information, and she puffed her cheeks in displeasure.

While she was still complaining in her heart, Sawayama Haruno, who had been blamed for no reason, came out of the kitchen with desserts and drinks.

“Homemade smoothies and sparkling water for cocktails.”

Sawayama Haruno put the plate in his hand next to the table and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the alcohol content is very low, even lower than the drinks sold in convenience stores."

"Humph"

Miyazawa Maki pouted and complained, "Why hasn't the takeaway arrived yet? I'm hungry."

"It should be soon. It's night time after all, so it's normal to be slow."

Sawayama Haruno looked helpless.

Although the island country's takeout industry is also developed, it is ultimately not as good as the country of his previous life. Isn't it normal that it is a little slower?

Besides, the normal delivery time for takeout is about half an hour, and it wouldn’t take them that long to finish a handful of hanafuda cards.

“Really”

Miyazawa Maki looked down at the cards in her hand, and suddenly stuffed them into Sawayama Haruno's hands.

Regardless of the other person's confused expression, she stood up and said unhappily, "I'll change my clothes, and you come and play."

"If you lose, it's your fault."

After saying that, she ran back to the bedroom without waiting for Sawayama Haruno's consent.

“Shall I take over?”

Sawayama Haruno looked down at the cards in his hand, a little hesitant.

"continue."

Ezaki Suguha smiled at him and said, as if encouragingly, "I've finished. It's your turn next."

"Oh."

Sawayama Haruno thought for a moment and reached out to the deck of cards.

However, the moment he got the card, he looked at the exquisite Ukiyo-e style pattern on it and fell into deep thought.

"Well, it seems I was able to put together a new combination to score again."

He tentatively placed the cards he had just drawn on the table.

When she saw the pattern clearly, Ayano Yui's eyes widened.

"Yanagi Ono Michikaze??"

She opened her mouth wide and looked at Sawayama Haruno as if she had seen a ghost.

"It's just luck."

The latter shrugged and said with a smile: "Maybe it's the luck of a novice. In this way, the combination can be counted as eight points, right?"

"No matter how you put it, this is really good luck."

Ayano Yui couldn't help but complain a little more.

If Sawayama Haruno draws the last card, "Phoenix on Kiriue", he can directly score 20 points and end the battle.

"I am back."

The bedroom door opened and closed, and Miyazawa Maki, who had been away for less than two minutes, quickly returned to the living room.

She said she was going to the bedroom to change clothes, but when she came back, Sawayama Haruno found that her clothes were no different from before.

The only extra thing seemed to be the pantyhose on the legs.

Why do you wear pantyhose at home?

"What are you looking at? Keep going."

Miyazawa Maki also noticed his expression and immediately warned him fiercely.

Although she looked fierce, the short-haired girl was actually somewhat proud inside.

As expected, after putting on the stockings, Haruno couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

It seems that I can still make up for my height advantage a little by dressing like this.

Not bad

Maki Miyazawa excitedly sat down next to Haruno Sawayama, snatched the cards and shouted that she would play.

Sawayama Haruno, who was kicked out shortly after starting, was not annoyed. He just sat in his original position and watched the other party continue playing Hanafuda.

Feeling the citrus fragrance emanating from the girl beside him all the time, Sawayama Haruno's originally worried mood gradually relaxed.

Judging from the look on her face, Maki really isn't angry.

Well, I just don’t understand her purpose of changing her pantyhose.

However, this guy's train of thought is really strange. It has been a long time since he could not understand him. After a long time, he has become accustomed to his behavior.

Just think of it as the air conditioner being a little cold, so go back and change into a thicker pair of tights.

While I was daydreaming, the cell phone beside me rang.

Seeing this, the other three girls who were still playing cards with great interest also stopped and looked at Sawayama Haruno who answered the phone.

"Hey?"

Sawayama Haruno picked up the phone and asked casually.

"Is that Mr. Sawayama?"

"Takeout? Are you downstairs?"

Sawayama Haruno chose to simply ignore the other party's somewhat strange address.

It’s not the first time that people have called me by the wrong name. Although it’s a bit frustrating, I’ve gotten used to it after it’s happened so many times.

"No, I'm near the apartment now, but I think I've taken the wrong road. Could you please describe the landmark buildings nearby?"
