Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

No. I don’t know why, but after recalling that the other party once said “I don’t like to wear underwear when practicing sword”, this image suddenly collapsed.

That "appearance" of whiteness and rosy complexion without any unnecessary impurities still seems to be vivid in his mind until now, making Sawayama Haruno's eyes twitch slightly. He has a lot to complain about but doesn't know where to start.

"Suguha's kendo is amazing."

Mine Shiori, who was standing by, thought that Sawayama Haruno had shown some interest in kendo, so she changed her tone and said, "It seems that Suguha will go to a meeting near the martial arts hall tomorrow afternoon. We will have a competition then."

"Last night during the make-up class, she said that not many friends would go to watch her sparring, so she hoped I could take some time to go see her."

Mine Shiori paused for a moment and quietly invited, "Haruno, do you want to come with us? Suguha also said that she would invite you as well if possible."

After saying that, she stared at Sawayama Haruno with a somewhat nervous look.

It's not that I'm nervous because the other party might say no.

It was because of his apprentice, Suguha Ezaki, who seemed to have become very "friendly" with Haruno Sawayama without realizing it.

You know, last night, when Suguha asked her to invite Sawayama Haruno as well, she was really shocked.

It seems like something is inexplicably "unfolding" in a place I'm not aware of.

It's like a niche music that I have always liked suddenly becomes popular one day. I should be happy about it, but I feel so lost inside and can't get excited at all.

Mine Shiori thinks that this is probably how she feels now.

"Tomorrow afternoon? Or at the Budokan?"

Unlike Mine Shiori who was "sad", Sawayama Haruno seemed even more surprised.

"Can we go in and watch, too?"

The martial arts hall is not a small place and is generally not open to outsiders.

What can be held there is probably not just an ordinary exchange meeting.

"Although it's just a semi-public exchange meeting, Suguha said it's no problem, even if we can bring a few more people." Mine Shiori added quickly.

"Is that so? Then what time will it be held?"

Hearing this, Sawayama Haruno was somewhat moved.

I've been busy with all sorts of things lately, so maybe it would be nice to visit a place like a martial arts hall, especially something like a kendo competition.

After all, he was a boy and was somewhat interested in swords, but he had never had the opportunity to touch them before.

And maybe I could bring Maki with me to take a look?

Chapter 91 Submission Countdown

Since Suguha Ezaki has said so, it’s okay to bring a few more people.

If time is convenient, Sawayama Haruno would like to bring Miyazawa Maki with him.

The reason is very simple. Maki Miyazawa and Suguha Esaki are now friends.

During these two days, when the other party was playing with Salmon Ball at home, she would chat with the other party on her mobile phone from time to time. I guess their relationship has quickly evolved into that of best friends.

Suguha Esaki, who is straightforward and speaks her mind, seems to be very much to Maki Miyazawa's liking, which is why their friendship developed so quickly.

Of course, Sawayama Haruno was also happy to see this scene. After all, apart from him and her colleagues at work, Miyazawa Maki still lacked opportunities to communicate with the outside world.

The other party has already started to enter society, so social activities among friends are essential.

Even if we put aside the fact that Maki and Suguha are friends, just looking at the current relationship between Maki and me, it seems that there is nothing wrong with going out to play.

Ever since their relationship started to heat up, they have rarely gone out together until now.

It might be a good opportunity to visit the Budokan.

Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno stroked his chin and said, "If it were later in the afternoon, I should be able to bring another person with me."

"Time?"

Mine Shiori began to feel a little distressed.

She couldn't remember the time Suguha had told her, but it shouldn't be too early, because Suguha had also said last night that after the exchange meeting, she would invite her and Haruno to have dinner nearby.

Based on this point of view, it should be unlikely that the event is held at one or two o'clock in the afternoon?

Even if the event is held at one or two o'clock, it shouldn't end so quickly.

Besides, since it was an exchange meeting, it was impossible for them to watch Suguha Ezaki's performance the entire time. If that was the case, then it didn't seem to be wrong for them to arrive later and only watch Suguha's performance.

"If that's the case, shall I ask Suguha later?"

Thinking of this, Mine Shiori raised her eyes to Sawayama Haruno and said softly, "I'll tell you when the time comes? Or should Haruno ask it yourself?"

"You can ask, I don't have Suguha's contact information." Sawayama Haruno said casually.

"it is good"

When Mine Shiori heard this, she was immediately delighted.

It seems that their relationship has not become very "weird" yet, after all, they don't even have any contact information.

What Mine Shiori is most worried about is that her apprentice will unknowingly surpass her.

If things really turned out like this, she would probably be depressed to death, right?

The petite girl tried to imagine that scene, and her expression suddenly became a little gloomy.

No, it's time for me to make a change

Now is the best opportunity for me. Haruno is not dating anyone, which means I have a chance of winning now, right?

As long as you work hard, you will be able to make up for your regrets during the Golden Week.

Thinking of this, Mine Shiori couldn't help but secretly glance at Sawayama Haruno, who was taking out his notebook and putting it on the table, and started typing in the "classroom" openly.

Such behavior will not cause much problem. As long as your academic performance is not too low, teachers and professors generally will not pay too much attention to you.

What's more, this is just a trivial course and not a very important one for them.

"what"

Mine Shiori suddenly felt a little depressed.

She had just made up her mind to work hard, but the other party turned around and took out his notebook to write, which made her feel embarrassed to interrupt his thoughts.

Forget it

Mine Shiori comforted herself in her heart, it’s okay.

Anyway, Haruno also promised that when the novel is finished, he will be the first to show it to me.

As long as I'm the first one, it doesn't matter even if I have to be patient now.

When it comes to endurance, she is very strong as she often "punishes herself"!

"Come on, Shiori"

The petite girl suddenly clenched her fists secretly under the table and cheered herself up.

You have to be patient and work hard for what you are doing now.

With this thought in mind, she turned her gaze back to the high school textbooks on the table.

Well. If I want to work hard, then I should start by "improving Suguha's grades."

In this way, the man and the woman each devoted themselves to their own work.

Time passed silently and a useless class was over quickly. When the classmates were clamoring to leave the classroom, Sawayama Haruno, who had been immersed in the "coding hell", finally came to his senses.

Looking at the more than 60,000 words displayed in the document, he pondered for a while and felt that it was about time to submit it.

He refined his work several times in this class, and it can be said that he restored "Norwegian Wood" as much as possible. With the current quality, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to pass the selection of Kodansha, right?

However, although "Norwegian Wood" achieved great success in its previous life, it is now 20 years later.

Physical books are so outdated that they can’t be any more outdated. Mobile phones can be said to have completely replaced this form of entertainment.

Therefore, Sawayama Haruno felt a little unsure, and his eyes drifted to Mine Shiori beside him again.

The other person was working more seriously than herself. Even though the students had already started to leave the classroom, she was still concentrating on preparing lessons.

The petite yet resolute profile gives off an inexplicable cute and stubborn vibe.

"Maybe it's time to show it to the other party?"

Sawayama Haruno touched his chin, feeling conflicted.

Since she's a member of a literature club, that means she should have some knowledge of literature. Plus, I saw in the library that she really likes reading literary books, so it shouldn't be a problem to ask her for some reference.

I just don’t know if this small part of “Norwegian Wood” can satisfy the other party.

If it were me, I would have only read this little bit and would have to wait a long time to read the rest, and I would probably be so angry that I couldn't sleep.

It's the kind of situation where I want to drag the author out, beat him up, and order him to update faster.

Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno's eyes twitched slightly.

Forget it, just submit it directly.

Regardless of whether this type of literary book can become popular now, I should always submit it and give it a try. There is no point worrying about it now.

As for what I promised Mine Shiori before, I will show it to her as soon as I finish everything.

There shouldn't be any problem this way, right?

Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno felt a lot more relaxed.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to remind Mine Shiori that the class was over, the phone in his pants suddenly vibrated.

Chapter 92 Haruno’s current girlfriend is me!

Feeling the vibration of his cell phone, Sawayama Haruno was slightly stunned.

However, he did not rush to check. Instead, he looked at Mine Shiori who was still working hard and reminded her, "The get out of class is over, Shiori."

"Eh?"

Mine Shiori, who had been immersed in "lesson preparation hell", finally raised her head.

The petite girl realized belatedly that most of the other classmates had already left. Recalling that she still had things to deal with at noon, she suddenly became a little nervous.

"Thank you, Haruno."

She said apologetically, "I was supposed to pick someone up at the station at noon, and I almost forgot about it."

"Friends?"

Sawayama Haruno also started packing up his notebooks and books. When he heard Mine Shiori say this, he subconsciously asked another question.

“No, it’s my father.”

Mine Shiori shook her head slightly and explained in a low voice: "He is on vacation these two days, so it's just right for him to come back to Tokyo to see me."

"Is that so? Then you go first." Zeshan Haruno waved his hand and said casually, "It's better to go early. In this weather, if you stand outside the station for too long, it will be very hot."

"Then I'll take the first step."

"Um"

After watching Mine Shiori leave the classroom, Sawayama Haruno had almost packed his things, but his steps seemed a little slower.

After he left the classroom and walked for two or three minutes, he remembered the vibration of his cell phone. He took it out and saw that it was a very unfamiliar name.

"Nishimura. Miyoko."

Sawayama Haruno whispered the name with a confused expression on his face.

Who?

Why doesn't he remember adding this person as a LINE friend?

Sawayama Haruno took a look at the message sent by the other party. It was actually to invite him to a class reunion?

The time is exactly tonight.

"High school classmate?"
