Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

Sawayama Haruno relaxed instantly, looking at the door which was no different from the one he passed when he left in the morning, and fell into hesitation.

Could it be that the other party ran away?

That’s right, Miyazawa Maki called ten minutes ago. Who would ring the doorbell for ten minutes? Even a psychopath wouldn’t do that, right?

He's just a pervert, not stupid.

"What's going on? I'll complain to Mr. Takashima tomorrow."

Sawayama Haruno said to himself.

When I rented the house, I was told that the security here is very good and there is no chance of theft or other dangerous things happening.

As a result, such harassment happened only a few months after moving in. It is really speechless.

Fortunately, high-end apartment buildings are equipped with high-definition cameras in the corridors on each floor and in the elevator stairs. You only need to contact the person in charge of the apartment to immediately know who is ringing your doorbell.

Sawayama Haruno rubbed his brows and was about to take out the key to open the door when he heard a slightly strange sound behind him.

boom--

The sound was a bit crisp, but not the clear kind. It was the strange sound that only a can makes when it falls to the ground.

Sawayama Haruno turned his head reflexively, but happened to meet the eyes of the guy standing opposite him.

The other person's clothing was a bit strange. He was wearing a small white shirt on the upper body, and a dark-colored women's tie that was obviously too short. On the lower body, he was wearing black shorts that looked like a short skirt and looked very loose.

He was wearing a pair of rather old Converse, and for some reason, the black mid-length socks that were clearly higher than the shoes looked very new.

She is not very old, and seems to be a girl who is only slightly younger than Sawayama Haruno.

She had a short pigtail on one side that hung straight in front of her body. She was wearing a somewhat old-fashioned outfit, and she was holding a delicious lollipop in her mouth. There was an indescribable feeling about her.

A feeling of déjà vu.

"only?!"

"Oh Haruno-san."

Almost at the same time, the two called out each other's names in unison.

Chapter 113: Country Mice and City Mice

The girl in front of me is Ayano Yui.

How should he even start talking about his relationship with her? This was giving Sawayama Haruno a headache.

But since it was the other person, it seemed not difficult to understand the series of actions of ringing the doorbell just now. If you want to know why, it was because the other person was that kind of person.

Just looking at Ayano Yui coming out of the uninhabited room opposite her, carrying a bag of garbage, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but wonder.

In any case, I can rest assured about ringing the doorbell for the time being.

Five minutes later, in front of a roadside vending machine not far from a high-end apartment.

Haruno Sawayama leaned on the railing and sent a message to Maki Miyazawa. After briefly explaining the situation, he looked up at Yui Ayano who was squatting in front of the vending machine.

"Wei, why did you suddenly come to Tokyo without saying hello?"

".My aunt asked me to do this."

The dim blue light from the vending machine shone on Ayano Yui's face. She ate a Double Plus lollipop and said lazily, "They said they had to conduct a surprise inspection to see what you've been doing in Tokyo."

".Is that so?"

The corners of Sawayama Haruno's mouth twitched.

Quite like his mother's style.

No, that's not the focus right now.

"I'm asking, what are you doing in Tokyo? You rented the room across from me?"

"Um"

Ayano Yui seemed to have decided what she wanted to drink. She pressed a few buttons on the vending machine, and the drink fell with a slight "bang".

"I've already been nominated for admission, so it doesn't matter if I'm not in Osaka. So I thought I might as well come to Tokyo early."

Ayano Yui sighed and added, "Brother, you don't know anything about me. I'm really hurt. When we were little, you even tricked me into sleeping with him and took off all your clothes."

"Stop it, stop it."

Sawayama Haruno was completely confused.

"Sleeping together was a request from our family. You took off your clothes yourself, right? Also, we were only six or seven years old at the time. What's wrong with kids of this age lying down to sleep after playing around and getting tired?"

“How sad!”

Ayano Yui sighed softly again.

When she stood up, she had already opened the pull ring of the can swiftly.

She didn't even take the Jiabeijia lollipop out of her mouth, but started drinking the drink while biting the lollipop.

The girl's throat moved up and down, but her eyes fell on Sawayama Haruno, making him feel confused.

When she put down the can, Ayano Yui explained the reason.

"I heard some noise in your house at night."

"Brother," she narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "are you keeping a woman at home?"

"So what?"

Sawayama Haruno asked back, "Do you want to report to my mother?"

"You don't want me to report?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'm not ready yet."

"That's it"

Ayano Yui stared at him for a while, then looked away.

She walked with a slightly brisk pace and came to the side of Sawayama Haruno, but unlike the other person who was leaning on the railing, she was leaning on the railing with her hands and looking in the other direction.

Seeing the other person so close to him, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but glance at the distance between them a few more times.

"What's the reason for the recommendation?"

“Artistic.”

Ayano Yui changed from a propped-up position to a half-lying position, looking very injured and weak as she said, "Auntie already told me this once during Golden Week, didn't she?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything, but as soon as she mentioned the Golden Week, Sawayama Haruno became a little scared.

He now has an inexplicable fear of the word "Golden Week". When he hears it, he feels that endless troubles are sweeping towards him.

But fortunately, what Ayano Yui said shouldn’t be the case, right?

After all, the two of them grew up together since childhood. Although they haven't been in touch much since I came to Tokyo to study, the family connection has always been maintained.

Well, we shouldn't make the same mistake again.

"You weren't admitted to Tokyo University of the Arts, were you?"

"Ah."

"."

Sawayama Haruno was a little uneasy.

Tokyo University of the Arts is not an ordinary school. It can be called the University of Tokyo in the art world and is the only national university of art in the island country.

The other four universities that are known as the top five art universities are, in some ways, far inferior to Tokyo University of the Arts. After all, it can get its current ranking because this is the highest ranking in the art category, while the others can get the ranking because there are no other art universities.

Simply put, it is very valuable. Regardless of whether it has employment prospects or not, it is valuable.

It was really surprising that my cousin from the countryside was admitted to such a school.

"Although I've heard that you're good at art, I never thought you'd be admitted as a recommended student."

"I didn't even think about going to college at first." Ayano Yui snorted, "My dream is to live off my parents."

"."

In this regard, you might have a lot in common with a certain rebellious girl I raised at home, Sawayama Haruno thought.

"Then why did you come to Tokyo?"

"That's what people around me keep saying." Ayano Yui explained nonchalantly, "It's as if if I don't come, I'll be wasting my talent, wasting my life, wasting my own life. Are you kidding me? This is my own life, right?"

"Since you know it's your own life, you should take full responsibility for it."

Sawayama Haruno looked at the vending machine and said patiently, "Isn't it good now? I don't have to worry about studying anymore, and I can still live in Tokyo."

"Let's talk about whether to study or not for now." Ayano Yui muttered, "Living in Tokyo?"

"I said so."

She suddenly stepped on the lowest railing and leaned backwards to see Sawayama Haruno, who was facing the opposite direction from her.

The faint blue light from the vending machine shone on the other person's face, making it look particularly deep.

Not to mention the smell wafting from Sawayama Haruno, it was a smell that would make Ayano Yui feel excited both physically and mentally as soon as she sniffed it.

This was also one of the reasons why she came to Tokyo.

"what happened?"

Realizing that the girl holding the Kabejia lollipop seemed to be about to say something, Sawayama Haruno subconsciously turned his head to look at her.

It was not until now that he began to realize that his country cousin seemed to have really grown up.

Why didn’t I realize that she was pretty before? Is there a saying in this island country that “girls change a lot when they grow up”?

"Haruno thinks."

"Which is better, a country mouse or a city mouse?" she asked softly.

Chapter 114: The Stealing Cat

".Your head isn't going to explode?"

"what?"

Ayano Yui wrinkled her nose and said dissatisfiedly: "What nonsense are you talking about, brother? This is a story from Aesop's fables. Haven't you heard of it?"

"Of course I've heard of it. And I know what it means."

Sawayama Haruno turned his gaze back to the vending machine and asked again, "So, do you like being a country mouse so much?"

".It also depends on whether there is any "delicious food" in the city that is attractive enough to me."

Ayano Yui suddenly smiled and said in a joking tone: "Don't look at me like this, I am actually a 'greedy' child, and occasionally I do things that would scare others to death if they were told."

"Yeah."

Sawayama Haruno thought about the girls he had met recently and the things he had encountered, and said casually: "I feel that now I will not find anything strange when I encounter anything."

"Is it because my brother has become a city rat and has eaten too many "delicacies"?"

Ayano Yui carefully observed the other person's expression.

She looked at it very seriously, as if she wanted to imprint the appearance of Sawayama Haruno in her mind again.

But there's nothing we can do about it, right?

She thought that it was because she was busy participating in the Kanto Art Tour Competition during last year's Golden Week. If it weren't for this reason, they would have met last year.

Well. I can also see the woman who stole my brother away.

I still don’t know who the other person is, but I can only feel that Aunt Zeshan seems to be very satisfied with that woman.

Thinking of this, I felt inexplicably unhappy, because I was the one who came here first.

Ayano Yui's eyes moved slightly, and she spoke again: "Brother, there are so many people in Tokyo."

"Of course there are many. It's an international metropolis, one of the most economically developed cities in Asia." Sawayama Haruno yawned and said lazily, "All kinds of men and women, pachinko members, horse racing regulars, bubble bath experts"
