Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

It was already completely dark outside.

Maki Miyazawa opened the door with a slightly nervous mood, and when she came out, she saw Haruno Sawayama sitting on the sofa in the living room.

The other party who heard the noise looked up, and when the two looked at each other again, Miyazawa Maki finally couldn't help but speak:

"tonight."

Chapter 40 Maki's "Coldness"

"I have already made a reservation at the restaurant tonight."

Miyazawa Maki stared at Sawayama Haruno, pursed her lips and said, "It's almost time to go out, otherwise if we go too far past the reservation time, the restaurant will cancel our seats."

"Oh let's go then."

Maki Miyazawa's reminder brought Sawayama Haruno back from his trance.

He was simply stunned by Miyazawa Maki's look.

The other party's clothing style and makeup are very different from Miyazawa Mana. If her sister Mana's image is a pure and flawless angel in a white dress, then Miyazawa Maki is definitely more inclined to the appearance of a little devil.

She deliberately chose a white miniskirt with black stockings, and the same pure white top was tied up at the waist. Her seductive belly button was faintly visible in the swaying of the clothes, making it difficult to take your eyes off it.

Looking up further, you can see Miyazawa Maki's deliberately stern face, but her expression is obviously not right. Her cheeks are slightly flushed, with a hint of inexplicable shyness.

The pair of eyes that usually seemed cold now seemed to be vacant, constantly moving back and forth, not daring to look anyone in the eye.

"Is this the legendary cold and charming character?"

Sawayama Haruno thought.

I've been so used to seeing Maki Miyazawa in pajamas these past two days that I almost forgot that she looks better in other clothes.

When they were in the same high school, he had hardly seen her in casual clothes because they had to wear uniforms. Now, he felt that she was inexplicably tempted.

This is probably what I was thinking just now, the so-called "cold and delicate"?

Miyazawa Maki deliberately pretends to be very cold and indifferent, but her tsundere nature is still lingering, and the two characteristics complement each other very well.

Not to mention that the other party only looks like a little devil on the outside, but actually has zero experience. This kind of little devil with attractive appearance but pure heart seems to be more likely to attract others, right?

"No, it's not like I have no experience at all. After all, there was what happened last night."

Sawayama Haruno followed Miyazawa Maki out while thinking about all sorts of things.

After taking the elevator downstairs, I didn't see Kazuki Takashima in the reception hall, but this also saved me unnecessary trouble.

Haruno Sawayama could imagine that if he met Maki Miyazawa while out to dinner, Kazuki Takashima, who couldn't control his mouth, would come up and make some boring jokes.

She even said something like cousin. If I had known, I wouldn't have told her last time that Maki was her sister.

Sawayama Haruno shook his head, and when he looked at Miyazawa Maki who was walking in front of him, he couldn't help but ask: "Is the restaurant you booked close? Doesn't this road lead to the station?"

He thought that Miyazawa Maki would take this opportunity to go to high-end places like Ginza for dinner, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to be planning to choose a nearby place?

“No need to go to the station”

Without even turning around, Miyazawa Maki said, "I picked a restaurant not far from here. Can we just walk there? Or do you want to take a taxi?"

"It's fine if it's close, but there aren't many restaurants worth booking in these areas, right?" Sawayama Haruno asked in confusion, "Which restaurant did you book?"

"Ask questions here and there, and just follow them, okay?"

Miyazawa Maki ended the topic impatiently.

She didn't want to explain too much to the other party. After all, it was he who suggested going out for dinner in the evening, and it was he who agreed to let her choose the restaurant. So, wouldn't it be fine for him to just follow her?

This guy

If he knew that we were going to the restaurant where I often ate with my sister in high school, he might just turn around and leave?

Miyazawa Maki puffed up her cheeks, looking a little unhappy.

She didn't know why she was unhappy, but she was just unhappy, and she had to blame Zeshan Haruno.

Yes, that’s right, it’s all the other party’s fault.

Miyazawa Maki, who was walking in front, complained in her heart for some unknown reason, but Sawayama Haruno, who was walking behind, was completely unaware of it and was still immersed in the night view not far away.

Tokyo is a city whose charm can only be appreciated at night.

This is Shinjuku, which is not the most developed area in Tokyo, but it is perhaps the place where people can feel the strongest atmosphere of different eras.

After passing the Dobashi Bridge, you can see Shinjuku's bustling commercial street. Many young women who are having a weekend off put on heavy makeup, wear platform shoes that are thicker and higher than the other, and walk around the streets arm in arm, laughing and laughing.

Vehicles speeding past on the roadside honked from time to time, the red, blue and yellow neon lights on both sides of the street flickered, and the crowds of people surged, like a flowing music.

——This street scene is not unfamiliar to Sawayama Haruno.

No matter how careless he was, there was no way he couldn't have forgotten this road, because he had been here once yesterday. Not only yesterday, but he had been here many times before.

He knew where Miyazawa Maki's destination was without even having to think.

Sure enough, after walking for about ten minutes, the familiar restaurant sign appeared in front of me again.

Maki Miyazawa, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, glanced back at Sawayama Haruno, and snorted.

Obviously, she was secretly observing whether Sawayama Haruno would turn around and leave.

"So this is the restaurant, don't you want to go in?"

Sawayama Haruno narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I guess Mana has never brought you here before, right?"

“I’ve been here.”

Miyazawa Maki's attitude was a little cold, "But it wasn't delicious, I only ate a little and left."

If it doesn’t taste good, why did you choose this place again this time?

Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but complain in his heart. It seemed that the other party was mostly angry. It was rare for him to come out on his day off to relax. If he forced himself to eat in a restaurant he didn't like for such an excuse, wouldn't that be such a waste?

The other person doesn’t think that life can be restarted at any time, right?

Enjoy it when you should!

"If you insist, go in."

After expressing his impassioned thoughts in his heart, Sawayama Haruno looked at Miyazawa Maki and said with a smile, "You have been standing at the door the whole time. The waiter inside didn't know whether to open the door or not."

"I just haven't decided whether to eat here or not." Miyazawa Maki said stubbornly.

Fortunately, Sawayama Haruno had already seen through her thoughts and knew that she would not change places, so he gently pushed her shoulder and walked inside.

The waiter, who had been observing inside for half a day, immediately opened the door.

Although he was still a little puzzled as to why the "young couple" who seemed to be in a good relationship yesterday suddenly became angry and quarreled today, he still did not forget to force a smile and greeted them with a smile, "Dear guests, welcome again."

"again?"

Miyazawa Maki's face darkened instantly, and her eyes became more hostile.

Chapter 41 Wine-flavored Desserts [Read on Tuesday]

The asshole waiter mistook her for Mana.

Miyazawa Maki just felt a little annoyed, but she didn't know what to say. After all, if it weren't for the different hairstyles between her and Mana, even their parents wouldn't be able to tell which one was the older sister and which one was the younger one.

Besides, the probability of encountering twins is much smaller than a girl suddenly growing short hair, so it is understandable that the waiter mistook someone for someone else.

In that case

"It's all your fault."

Miyazawa Maki suddenly took a step to the side, leaned next to Sawayama Haruno and complained quietly.

"??"

Sawayama Haruno turned around blankly, not quite understanding the other party's thoughts.

Why did he blame himself for no reason? He didn't even know why he was being blamed.

Maki, has he not been hit by a knife for two days, and now he feels better again?

Sawayama Haruno began to wonder if he should take advantage of the other diners in the restaurant and give Miyazawa Maki a blow on the head.

Just kidding. It's okay at home, but if it's outside, Miyazawa Maki will definitely be furious.

Maybe it would pounce on me and strangle me by the neck, shaking me around and pretending to bite me to death.

After spending a few days together, he almost figured out the other person's little thoughts.

Fortunately, Miyazawa Maki did not continue the conversation, but followed the waiter to the table that had been booked in advance.

"What does Mana usually like to eat here?"

As soon as she sat down, Miyazawa Maki grabbed the menu and kept scanning it with her eyes aggressively.

She would order the flavors that Mana liked. After all, if she wanted to snatch away the man she liked, she should not lag behind him in terms of food. It didn't matter even if she thought it didn't taste good. She just wanted to let Mana see her favorite things being snatched away.

Because from childhood to adulthood, the other party has taken a lot of things from me.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, if it was taken away, it was taken away.

“Do you like food?”

Sawayama Haruno rubbed his brows, and in his heart he had already guessed what Miyazawa Maki was really thinking.

After pondering for a moment, he took the menu and pointed out a few dishes.

Of course, what he reported was not Mana Miyazawa's favorite, but it was also a dish she would not refuse to try.

Miyazawa Maki has really gotten out of control, and there's no way the situation between the two sisters will ever end.

But if Maki is not allowed to vent her anger, she will definitely hate her sister and herself even more.

As a compromise, I chose these dishes that I can eat but I don’t particularly like. I believe that when Mana Miyazawa sees them, she will be able to guess my intention, right?

After all, she is a very smart girl.

Sawayama Haruno thought.

"There's wine."

Miyazawa Maki's sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.

When I looked up again, I saw Miyazawa Maki pointing at the menu and raising an eyebrow. "That's a very expensive red wine. It looks delicious, doesn't it?"

"Now it's out there, we can't buy it when we're under 20 years old."

Sawayama Haruno felt a little helpless.

The other party actually still wants to drink, isn't he afraid of something happening?

"Tsk, is there no other way?" Miyazawa Maki curled her lips and said unwillingly, "Generally speaking, restaurants don't check the identity and age of customers at every turn, right?"

"What if?"

Sawayama Haruno held his face in his hands and said speechlessly, "If they find out, wouldn't it be troublesome? Besides, this kind of red wine needs to be decanted in advance, at least half an hour, otherwise it will be very strong and sour, so astringent that you want to vomit."

"real or fake."

Miyazawa Maki muttered a few words, but finally turned over the wine menu page and looked at the drinks at the back.

The first dishes ordered were the same as Mana's favorite flavors, and she wanted the drinks to be based on her own taste.

After a brief hesitation, Miyazawa Maki decided on what she wanted to eat and handed the menu to Sawayama Haruno who was sitting opposite her.

However, as a regular customer of the restaurant, he can order directly without even looking at the menu.

Sawayama Haruno didn't even say anything, he just looked back, and the waiter immediately came over to help place the order.

After everything was done, the appetizer was served in less than half a minute, which made Sawayama Haruno a little puzzled.

"This is free. It's our token of appreciation for our customers' frequent visits to our store." The waiter who was still standing nearby quickly explained.

"So that's how it is. It looks like a new dessert as well."

"It is indeed a new product. In fact, it is a product that has not yet been launched. You can also comment on it after tasting it." The waiter paused for a moment, put on a more flattering smile and said, "Is your hand feeling better?"

"It's completely fine now."

Hearing this, Sawayama Haruno finally realized the other party's true intention.

It was not a token of appreciation for the old customers, but because of the water cup that I accidentally crushed and broke yesterday.
