Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

Food must be eaten bite by bite, and the road to the harem must be taken step by step. At least for now, Sawayama Haruno is not in a hurry for them to accept each other's existence immediately.

"What are you looking at?"

Maki Miyazawa noticed Sawayama Haruno's gaze, glared at him fiercely, and then started stroking the salmon balls again.

"Salmon Ball, let me tell you, you have to stay away from cats with such a frivolous heart from now on."

She nervously said to the other party: "Be careful not to be deceived by the other party."

I won't be fooled. Salmon Maru was sterilized not long after coming to this family, and he usually has no chance to come into contact with other cats. How could he be fooled? Sawayama Haruno complained wildly in his heart.

However, he also knew that Miyazawa Maki was just using the salmon balls as an opportunity to secretly poke him.

So Sawayama Haruno came over calmly and sat on the sofa next to Miyazawa Maki.

"What?"

Miyazawa Maki cast an unfriendly look at him the first time, and her feet seemed to be considering whether to kick him away.

Fortunately, Sawayama Haruno's next words made her successfully suppress her desire to attack.

"It's six o'clock, do you want anything to eat?"

Zeshan Haruno coughed twice and said, "There are still some vegetables I bought this morning at home, which should be enough to cook some, or do you want to eat something else?"

It was time to eat again, and Miyazawa Maki, who was originally a little angry, suddenly became entangled in the question of "what to eat tonight".

After some thought, she hummed and said, "I want to eat Sukiyaki."

"Sukiyaki pot?"

Sawayama Haruno's face suddenly fell.

It’s not that we don’t have a pot at home to cook, but we have to go out to buy sterilized eggs and beef, and we don’t know if we can still buy fresh ingredients so late. If we want to buy fresh ones, we have to go a little further.

It would take at least one to two hours to buy groceries, and by the time I got home it would definitely be seven or eight o'clock.

At that time, the soup will have to be boiled for more than half an hour, and you also have to find a way to cut the fatty beef into rolls.

Sawayama Haruno thought about it carefully in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more troubled he felt.

But when he noticed the slightly expectant look in Miyazawa Maki's eyes, he softened his heart and agreed.

"I understand. I'll go out and buy beef later." Sawayama Haruno said helplessly.

If you go out to buy food now, in order to save time as much as possible, you will definitely not consider means of transportation such as trams and subways. Moreover, if you take a taxi, you will arrive more efficiently.

Although it is very expensive, but considering that Miyazawa Maki is kind-hearted, I'll just spend some money. It's not like I can't earn it back.

After his royalties are paid, he can have the ingredients delivered to him from the supermarket.

While thinking this, Sawayama Haruno's gaze drifted to the balcony.

Just then the other party finished his call and pushed the door back into the living room.

"Suguha, have you finished talking to your family?"

"Um"

Suguha Esaki gave a somewhat forced smile.

"I couldn't get through to my family. I just called the hospital staff to inquire about my mother's condition."

"Naoto or Grandpa is probably still busy, so it's normal that he didn't answer the phone."

Sawayama Haruno comforted her and asked, "Anyway, let's solve the dinner problem first. Maki wants to eat Sukiyaki. Do you want to eat anything?"

".No." Ezaki Suguha subconsciously clenched his phone and murmured, "I just want Sukiyaki pot too."

"Really? Then I'm going out to buy some food."

Seeing that she seemed a little depressed, Sawayama Haruno didn't know how to comfort her. He could only secretly wink at Miyazawa Maki before leaving, indicating that she should help comfort Suguha later.

Um.

I just don't know if this guy understood it. He didn't even look at me straight in the eye, right?

Suddenly, my family's status plummeted.

Sawayama Haruno left the apartment building while muttering.

After hailing a taxi, he headed towards the nearest supermarket.

Inside the apartment.

Miyazawa Maki was still lying on the sofa playing with Salmon Maru.

But not long after Sawayama Haruno left, she looked at her best friend, who had been feeling somewhat distraught, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Suguha, what's wrong with you?"

“Maybe it was affected by family matters.”

Jiang Qizhiye sat on the sofa and smiled helplessly: "I thought I wouldn't care too much about these things, but when they really happened, I couldn't help but think about them."

"There's nothing to worry about."

Miyazawa Maki played with Salmon Maru's two front paws and said nonchalantly, "You don't have much affection for your family, do you? Besides your brother?"

"But didn't you say before that you might have conflicts with your brother? Now that we've distanced ourselves from each other, conflicts are less likely to arise, right? So things should be developing in a positive direction now."

"That's true." Jiang Qizhiye pursed his lips and whispered, "It's fine now."

Being away from the Ezaki family, he no longer has to be drawn into the vortex of fighting, and there will no longer be pressure from his family members.

You don't need to bear any inexplicable obligations, and you can live freely the way you want.

Now this is the life she has always dreamed of.

What's more, there is Haruno Sawayama here, and Maki Miyazawa. Although this best friend is a little bit out of touch, she can be very nice sometimes.

“You’re still a little depressed.”

After Miyazawa Maki put down the salmon balls, she noticed that Ezaki Suguha's expression was still a little depressed.

The surprised short-haired girl then asked again: "Is it because of your mother?"

"do not know"

Suguha Ezaki shook her head.

After a moment of silence, she forced a smile and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about something else."

"Although I was forced to move out of my home, fortunately I brought the school materials I prepared in the past two days. I have to go back to school tomorrow afternoon."

"So busy," Miyazawa Maki muttered, and then whispered, "But it's true, it's almost time for the holiday, and the entrance exam is just around the corner."

"Are you planning on going anywhere on your day off, Maki?"

"Not ready yet."

Miyazawa Maki hesitated.

In fact, she did have plans for her holidays.

This matter is also related to the visit of Ayako Sawayama some time ago. Before leaving, she specifically emphasized that she must follow Haruno Sawayama back to Osaka.

She was actually looking forward to going there during the winter vacation, but after what happened during this period, she became a little hesitant.

Thinking of this, Miyazawa Maki felt a little discouraged.

After noticing her bestie's gaze, she quickly turned her head away and whispered, "Anyway, there's still a Christmas break before the winter break. Let's talk about it after Christmas."

"It's at the end of next month."

Ezaki Suguha smiled at Salmon Maru, who had come close to him at some point, and said softly, "The weather has been getting colder lately. I estimate that in about half a month, the temperature in Tokyo will drop rapidly."

This is a city where seasons change very quickly. Half a month is enough to transition from hot to cold.

If another month passes, it might snow again.

“Cool down.”

Miyazawa Maki leaned back on the sofa and sighed, "I hate winter. It's so cold."

Winter is probably the season she hates the most because it is cold.

She is a person who is very afraid of cold, and winter is quite unkind to her.

The most important thing is that you cannot run around barefoot indoors in winter because the icy floor will make people uncomfortable.

In addition, there is the problem of sleeping at night. If you cover yourself with a quilt, it will be too cold.

If I cover myself with two quilts, I will feel heavy and uncomfortable.

It is okay to turn on the heating, but if you turn it on all night, it will become very dry and make people feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, Maki Miyazawa has almost no good impression of Tokyo's winter.

"I said so."

Just when she was about to complain to Ezaki Suguha about winter, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Ding-dong-"

Miyazawa Maki turned her head in confusion, but before she could get up to open the door for the other party, Salmon Maru, who was lying on the sofa, seemed to have noticed something in advance. He screamed and quickly fled into her room.

"??"

Miyazawa Maki wrinkled her nose and muttered, "Is Xiao Wei here?"

"How did you know?" Ezaki Suguha looked at her in surprise.

“No, it’s just a hunch.”

Miyazawa Maki scratched her messy short hair and said nonchalantly, "I'll go open the door and take a look."

After saying that, she ran towards the entrance.

When the door opened, the person who appeared outside was Ayano Yui, whom I hadn't seen for a few days.

"Eh"

Ayano Yui was also a little surprised. Looking at Miyazawa Maki standing inside the door, she blinked in confusion.

"It's only been a few days, has he been coaxed into submission so quickly?" she murmured to herself.

Chapter 278 Zeshan's Dinner

It was almost eight o'clock when Sawayama Haruno returned home.

After opening the door tiredly, he heard several familiar voices in the house and immediately guessed that it was Ayano Yui running over again.

It was really a coincidence that this guy came. I just don’t know if she had dinner.

Sawayama Haruno glanced at the big bag of beef in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then went into the house to change his shoes.

When he arrived at the living room, he saw Ayano Yui happily chatting with Miyazawa Maki.

"Ah, brother!"

Ayano Yui's eyes suddenly lit up and she waved at him enthusiastically.

"I heard you guys are going to make Sukiyaki, can I have a bite too?"

She clasped her hands in front of her and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, please, please."

"Then let's go together. I happened to buy a lot of food today."

Sawayama Haruno smiled helplessly.

After looking around, he did not see Ezaki Suguha in the living room, and asked curiously, "Where is Suguha?"

"In the kitchen"

Miyazawa Maki curled her lips and whispered, "She said she wanted to help too, and then she went into the kitchen."

"Yeah."

Noticing that Miyazawa Maki's eyes were somewhat resentful, Sawayama Haruno coughed lightly and said seriously: "Then I will go prepare the base of the pot first, it should be ready soon."

"Please."

Ayano Yui smiled and waved at him, as if to signal Sawayama Haruno to leave Maki to her.

I really don't know how to deal with this guy. Maki should have calmed down now, so just don't cause trouble for me at this time. Sawayama Haruno muttered a few words in his heart.
