Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

It's good to have money. Many people who move to a new house, or who start a new life in Japan, usually start by sleeping on the floor.

But for the wealthy Suguha Ezaki, it was just a matter of a phone call.

It would be better to say that she has already taken Mine Shiori's self-esteem into consideration by not arranging someone to come and replace the small room that Mine Shiori has just rented with a fully furnished house.

While he was daydreaming, an abnormal noise came from behind Sawayama Haruno.

boom--

The sound was a bit dull, like something hitting the backpack inside, and it instantly caught Mine Shiori's attention.

"Ah, is the cat uncomfortable in there?"

Mine Shiori came forward with some concern.

Of course she knew why Sawayama Haruno came here this time, so she did her homework at home last night and searched the Internet for tutorials and guides on how to raise a cat.

"Maybe he realized he was in a new environment."

Sawayama Haruno put down his backpack and smiled at Mine Shiori.

"This cat is quite smart. Sometimes you can just talk to it directly and it will understand a little bit."

"really?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Mine Shiori's eyes.

She had never had a pet, so she didn't quite understand why pets of different species could hear what their owners said.

But since Haruno said so, she would just assume that this kitten was able to communicate.

Hey, wait a minute

If that's the case, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?

Mine Shiori suddenly remembered the clamps and anti-wolf flashlight she brought with her when she moved, and her face instantly became a little unnatural.

Cats' sense of smell is probably not as developed as dogs'. What if this kitten finds out and runs to Haruno with a clip in its mouth one day?

Even if it can't speak, Haruno can understand everything just by looking at it!

Mine Shiori's heart instantly sounded the alarm, and she planned to hide things like clips and flashlights deeper when she cleaned the room in the afternoon to prevent them from being found by Salmon Maru in the next few days.

"Here are some cat food with salmon balls, and then some snacks, cat sticks, etc."

Sawayama Haruno didn't notice the change in Mine Shiori's expression, and was still taking out all the things he had prepared for the salmon balls.

"And there are cat litter and the like, but it's not convenient to bring the basins, so I guess Shiori will have to take care of it then."

"I see."

Mine Shiori came back to her senses and said quickly, "It just so happens that I have to go out shopping this afternoon, so we can buy some together on the way."

"It's troublesome."

Sawayama Haruno placed all the things on the table and smiled gently.

"And then, there are a few things I brought for Shiori."

"Hey, I have a share too?"

Mine Shiori's back straightened instantly, and her petite body became tense.

Looking at Sawayama Haruno who was taking something out of the bag, she felt extremely nervous.

Haruno wants to give herself a gift?

I haven't given the other person a gift yet. What kind of gift will the other person give me, and how should I return the gift?

Mine Shiori was in a state of confusion.

"Here is the newly published Norwegian Wood."

Sawayama Haruno took out the book he had just received a few days ago and handed it to the other party.

Mine Shiori took it subconsciously.

After noticing the exquisite cover of the book and the heavy weight in her hand, she suddenly froze in place.

"Although I waited until today to bring it to you, please forgive me for the autograph inside."

Sawayama Haruno smiled and said, "Of course, the official release seems to have a set time. You can only see the books on display in those bookstores in the afternoon."

"Well"

Mine Shiori held the book, looking somewhat distraught.

This situation made Sawayama Haruno wonder if he had given the wrong gift.

So after hesitating for a moment, he took out the second gift from the bag.

"The book was a gift from Shiori when she helped me revise it. The next one is a housewarming gift."

Sawayama Haruno handed over the exquisite gift box and added, "Although it's to celebrate the move, the things inside don't have much to do with the move."

"Hey, is there anything else?"

Mine Shiori stretched out her hand and took the exquisite gift box tremblingly.

Looking at the golden tassel-like bow on it, she subconsciously held her breath and whispered, "Can I open it now?"

"Please feel free to do so."

Sawayama Haruno nodded.

In the country of his previous life, few people would open gifts in front of the original recipient. This was because there was a high probability that there was more than one person giving the gift. In order to avoid embarrassing situations, they would wait until everyone left before opening the gift. This was a subtle and tactful expression.

Of course, it doesn’t seem to be like this abroad. They usually open the box in front of the owner, and the more they show they like it, the happier they make people.

The same is true in island countries, where many people choose to open gifts on the spot after receiving them.

It is a gift given to the other person, and the other person can do whatever they want with it.

"Um"

Feeling Sawayama Haruno's gaze, Mine Shiori carefully untied the bow.

She was reluctant to tear the inner layer of gift paper, so she slowly unraveled it bit by bit along the edge.

The whole action seemed to take a little too long, but fortunately, Sawayama Haruno still had plenty of time and he just had to go home in the evening.

——His flight today is in the evening.

"Feel sorry."

As if she noticed that her movements were a little too gentle, Mine Shiori blushed and stammered, "Because it was given to me by Haruno."

"I want to preserve as much as possible," she whispered.

"It's okay, let me help you."

Sawayama Haruno reached out and pulled a piece of gift paper from the bottom, and Mine Shiori then took advantage of the situation to flip the folded paper inside out, and the gift box was finally successfully opened.

Inside was a pair of very fine black-framed glasses.

Mine Shiori, who just got it, looked a little confused.

"This is."

"These are not myopia glasses, they are blue light blocking glasses."

Looking at Mine Shiori who finally took out her gift, Sawayama Haruno said with a smile, "Since Shiori will be working on a computer a lot in the future, I bought you a pair of these glasses."

“Thank you, I like it very much”

Mine Shiori's tense body slowly relaxed, and holding the glasses, she smiled faintly at Sawayama Haruno.

"Try it."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Mine Shiori subconsciously put on her glasses.

However, when she put it on, she found something very strange.

That is, this pair of black-framed glasses seems to be a little too big for her petite figure?

"Um, would Haruno be weird?"

"No, it's cute."

Looking at Mine Shiori putting on the cute black-framed glasses that were obviously much larger, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but smile.

"At least it makes your face look smaller."

He joked: "Besides, the bigger the glasses are, the more blue light they can block, right?"

"How can there be such a thing"

Mine Shiori looked over with some resentment.

With that cute pair of black-framed glasses, she seems unusually cute in this version.

Chapter 243 Traveling with the Twins

Sawayama Haruno didn't stay too long. After bringing the gifts and salmon balls, he just chatted for a while.

After noticing that the time was almost up, he said goodbye to Mine Shiori.

After sending the other person downstairs, he returned to his room.

The petite girl leaned against the closed door and breathed a sigh of relief.

"A gift?"

Mine Shiori lowered her head, touched her chest, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Then I will wait for Haruno to come back and give him a gift using the excuse that his new book is selling well.

Since she is not as rich as Suguha Ezaki, she plans to give the gift to the other person by hand.

The weather has been getting cooler recently, and winter will probably be here in about a month and a half. So I might as well find a way to knit something.

Although I am not sure what I can knit, no.

Generally speaking, the only things that can be knitted are the old-fashioned scarves and sweaters. It is impossible for someone to knit a Neiku by hand as a gift for someone, right?

Mine Shiori laughed at her own thoughts.

However, before she could decide what to knit, strange noises were heard again in the living room.

"Meow~"

"Oops."

Only then did Mine Shiori remember that the kitten that Sawayama Haruno had put in the space capsule was still in her living room.

The petite girl rushed into the living room and hurriedly opened the space capsule backpack. Then a kitten with beautiful white fur and sky-blue pupils came out obediently.

Strictly speaking, it is no longer a kitten.

During its time at Zeshan's house, it lived an extremely comfortable life and its body size became much larger than before.

It's just that its attitude was too docile. Even when facing a stranger like Mine Shiori, it didn't show any fear. Instead, it came forward obediently and allowed the other to caress it.

"Be good~ be good~"

Seeing that the cat was so obedient, Mine Shiori's face was immediately filled with a happy smile.

The petite girl narrowed her eyes and after enjoying the other party's coquetry for a while, she remembered that she could feed him with snacks.

"Hmm salmon balls?"

"Wait a moment, I'll give you the cat strips now."

Mine Shiori comforted the other person, took out the cat strips from the bag, and began to feed the cat in a somewhat healing way.

It was her first time to keep a pet, but it was not as troublesome as she had imagined.

On the contrary, when interacting with cats, I feel a refreshing feeling as if all my inner stress has been released.

"It's even better than clamps," she thought.

Or maybe it's because this is Haruno's cat?
