Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

Zeshan Haruno rubbed his brows and said helplessly: "No matter what, I can't let you, a girl, do manual labor. As for the night shift, don't worry about it."

"The location is where I worked in high school, and I had already made arrangements in advance."

"Oh, I see."

Miyazawa Maki wrinkled her nose and said.

Seeing that she agreed, Zeshan Haruno didn't want to waste any more time talking.

It can be seen that Maki Miyazawa really likes this cat.

The problems seem to be being dealt with one by one in an orderly manner. Although new problems continue to emerge, at least there is hope of a solution.

As he thought about it, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but yawn.

He got up a little early in the morning and typed a lot of words in the morning.

After lunch at noon, when the mind relaxes, the body tends to become tired and sleepy.

No, I have to go back to my room and take a nap and rest.

"Play with Salmon Ball by yourself. Remember to be careful. I'm going back to my room."

"Oh."

Miyazawa Maki responded sullenly.

It was not until Sawayama Haruno returned to her bedroom with her computer bag that her tense face suddenly fell.

"This guy."

Miyazawa Maki bit her lip lightly, her face full of anger.

Apart from cats and work, I don’t know what else to talk about.

Well. Although I didn't show a good face, I still hope he can understand my thoughts.

You can clearly feel it if you pay attention to the difference in your attitude today compared to before, right?

Miyazawa Maki held Salmon Maru in her arms, touching him from time to time, but her eyes would always unconsciously drift to the door of his bedroom.

After touching for a long time, Salmon Maru became impatient, and crawled out of Miyazawa Maki's arms, and ran under the sofa again.

Now, everything I held onto for comfort is gone.

Miyazawa Maki was instantly furious. She stood up and kicked the sofa several times, but the pain only made her expression distorted.

“One or two are like this.”

Miyazawa Maki couldn't help but mutter a few words and limped towards her room.

Humph, she went to bed too.

Chapter 69: Encounter with Ezaki Suguha [Seeking follow-up reading]

7:23 pm, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.

Sawayama Haruno walked out of a teppanyaki restaurant with a bad look on his face.

I thought this restaurant was newly opened, and the reviews online were pretty good. It should be one of the more delicious ones.

I didn't expect that I still miscalculated.

It's not that it tastes bad, it just doesn't live up to its price.

"It's better to deal with it near Shinjuku."

Sawayama Haruno said to himself.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the old white office building not far away.

That is one of his future goals, Kodansha.

I'm not sure if the group responsible for physical books and publishing is also here, but the address for submissions is written as the location of this building, so it should be correct, right?

Although the other party may be better known for various comics and the like, as one of the four major publishing groups in the island country, it is certainly impossible for the group under it to only focus on a single field.

Counting my saved manuscripts, it seems that the day to submit them is approaching.

Sawayama Haruno plans to submit the first 50,000 to 80,000 words of the manuscript first, and then make future plans after the follow-up results come out.

In terms of time, it will probably take less than one or two weeks.

Sawayama Haruno withdrew his gaze and was about to leave when his eyes met the girl with a high ponytail who was walking towards him.

He couldn't help but be stunned.

"Hey, are you coming out alone today?"

Suguha Esaki was the first to greet.

She seemed a little different from the usual people I met, and had a more familiar vibe.

Of course, the word "familiar" here is not a good word for the Japanese, because it means that the other person is annoying and does not know polite etiquette.

For example, now, Suguha Esaki directly skipped the greeting part and directly mentioned the matter of Maki Miyazawa to Haruno Sawayama.

Although Sawayama Haruno wouldn't care about details like being polite or not.

"As for Maki, she doesn't want to go out tonight."

Sawayama Haruno smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet you so soon. Miss Ezaki, I didn't have time to thank you for what happened last time."

"Little things, little things."

Jiang Qizhiye waved her hand disapprovingly: "Since she is Master's friend, she is also my friend. Besides, she already thanked me on LINE last night."

"is it?"

Sawayama Haruno hesitated for two seconds.

It turns out that Miyazawa Maki also has this side. But it's true that she is the kind of girl who is rebellious but thin-skinned, and she is not a bad person at heart.

No matter how reluctant she is after receiving help, she will want to express gratitude.

"She thanked me once in the morning, but I think she wanted to chat with me more because she took some photos of my cat and talked for a long time."

Suguha Ezaki's face was calm, but she was saying some embarrassing words.

She took two steps forward and explained, "I asked her if she had no friends, and then she was silent for a long time."

".Well?"

Sawayama Haruno's face looked a little embarrassed.

Girl, your words have really touched the heart of Miyazawa Maki. That guy really doesn't have many friends!

"Sorry, she's actually the talkative type in private, but she just seems a little cold on the surface."

"No, it's not a bad thing."

Ezaki Suguha shook her head and added, "After a while of silence, she explained to me that she wanted to talk to someone else because you were not here, so I asked her straightforwardly if she wanted to be friends with me. Judging from the result, it should be a good thing, right?"

"Indeed"

The corners of Sawayama Haruno's mouth twitched.

Maki, have you become friends with Suguha Ezaki?

Well, it's indeed a good thing, but I always feel that it's a bit strange that the two of them can be friends with their personalities, right?

One is the kind of guy who appears cool on the outside but is extremely rebellious on the inside; the other is a bit outgoing, speaks bluntly and doesn't bother to hide his thoughts.

No matter how you look at it, you don't think these two types of people can sit together and make friends in harmony.

Would Maki really not be irritated by the other person's straightforwardness?

"Are you going anywhere next?"

Suguha Esaki took two more steps forward.

She stared at Sawayama Haruno and asked seriously, "Are you planning to go home? Maki also said when we chatted this morning that she hopes you can stay home more."

"No, there's something else going on." Sawayama Haruno said subconsciously, "Because Maki adopted a cat, I plan to buy some cat litter and a cat tray before going home."

"So this is it. It's the one I saw in the picture this morning."

Jiang Qizhiye thought for two seconds, and then immediately said: "How about joining us? I have raised pets before, so I know which cat food is better to buy."

".Is this too much trouble for you? Miss Jiang Qi, do you have anything else to do next?"

Sawayama Haruno said this as he took two steps back calmly.

He couldn't stand the other person's personality, which was too "direct".

I feel like he is the type who does whatever he thinks of.

"There's nothing else to do. Since today is Sunday evening, I don't need my master to tutor me anymore, so now is my free time," explained Suguha Ezaki.

To her, free time seems both precious and redundant.

As the eldest daughter of the Ezaki family, she has to practice swordplay during the day and study in the afternoon even on her days off.

What's more, Suguha Ezaki's academic performance is surprisingly poor. Since she hired Shiori Mine as a tutor, her study time has been increased to the evening. She only has two or three hours of relaxation on Sunday night.

But when these two or three hours really came, she didn't know what to do.

Even if there is something I really want to do, just thinking about it makes me feel inexplicably tired.

So in the end, it became a situation where every Sunday night, Suguha Ezaki would go out and wander the streets alone.

Since we're just wandering around wherever we go, we might as well follow Sawayama Haruno to buy cat litter and a cat box.

Judging from the photo of the cute kitten that Maki Miyazawa shared this morning, she seems to like cats very much. It just so happens that she has some pets at home too, so maybe she can give some advice.

With this thought in mind, Ezaki Suguha raised his eyes and looked straight at Sawayama Haruno without any hesitation.

Her figure is very tall among women. Although she is still not as tall as Sawayama Haruno, she can still easily look him in the eye if she raises her head.

Coupled with his calm look that seemed to be a matter of course, Sawayama Haruno could not find an excuse to refuse.

Do you want to bring the other person?

Chapter 70: Maki has done this too many times! [Please read more]

I slept until the evening.

When Zeshan Haruno opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside.

He rubbed his hair which was a little messy from sleeping, opened the door and took a look. As expected, Miyazawa Maki had gone back to her room to sleep.

What was a little different from before was that this time the other party did not close the door, nor did they even leave it ajar, but left a small gap open.

Sawayama Haruno could see the other person sleeping soundly on the bed just by standing outside the door.

In addition to Miyazawa Maki, there was also a white furry ball inside.

Salmon Maru was curled up in the sheets. When he noticed the appearance of Sawayama Haruno, he immediately raised his head and meowed softly. Then he jumped off the bed and ran to Sawayama Haruno outside the door, starting to rub his legs to show his cuteness.

What a well-behaved child.

Sawayama Haruno couldn't help himself, so he bent down and stroked the white kitten hard.

Listening to the whirring sound coming from the other person's throat, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Salmon Ball, do you see that ball of sheets and bedsheets in there?"

Sawayama Haruno picked it up and pointed at the bed sheet through the crack in the door and said, "If you want to go to the bathroom, just poop there. If you can't bear it, you can poop on that beautiful girl."

"Meow~"

Salmon Ball called out, as if realizing what he meant.

I am such a bad person, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but sigh.

But it's Miyazawa Maki's fault for not cleaning the room. She's been living here for a few days, but the bed sheets and quilts haven't been put on yet. She might as well be too lazy.

Of course, he was just joking. He couldn't really let Salmon Ball urinate and defecate anywhere in the house.

I still have to buy cat litter and cat boxes as soon as possible. I think Maki Miyazawa should still have some money left, right?

If not, just lend it to the other party.
