Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

The izakaya's house is made of reinforced concrete, but the second floor still uses wooden windows.

The window frame was mottled with sea breeze erosion, but the edge of the bed was very smooth. Yukinoshita Haruno knelt on the tatami, leaning against the wall, with one arm resting on the edge of the bed to support her chin.

Looking forward along the street, at the end is the deep blue sea and a new moon. It is not only the full moon in the middle of the month that is worth seeing. The stars hanging high in the night sky are amazingly beautiful no matter what form they take.

Yang Nai, with her chin supported by one hand, looked lazy. Sometimes she lowered her eyes to look at the people coming and going on the street below, listening to the chaotic sounds trying to find fun, and sometimes she looked forward, her sight went forward and forward past the neatly arranged shops until the dark blue sponge occupied her eyes.

This is a beautiful composition, with the sea at the end, the crescent moon above, shops on both sides, and bustling people. The street is the main body, but it is also the bond that connects everything.

Yang Nai's slightly purple eyes reflected everything. She had a faint smile on her face and would laugh at her sister from time to time.

Over there, Miki Okudera and Yukino Momoka were chatting in low voices, not disturbing the Yukinoshita sisters who were lost in their own worlds.

Just like the question that Hojo Kyosuke once had, is Yukino so fond of cats because her sister Haruno looks like a cat? Or is it because Haruno looks like a cat that she likes cats? However, this is not a question, because Yukino's love for cats actually comes from Mr. Pan in the book given by her father. Although it is a panda instead of a cat.

Most of the time, Yukinoshita Haruno gives people the feeling that she will die if she doesn't hear other people's voices for a second. There is always laughter and joy around her, and everyone will gather around her unconsciously. But like now, this short-haired beauty leaned against the window. She quietly admired the scenery in the distance. Although she didn't speak, she told everyone not to disturb her, even the waiter who served the dishes carefully lowered his voice.

But even in such an emotional state, she still did not forget to tease her sister. It is hard not to be moved by such deep love.

Suddenly, Xue Ye picked up the phone, shook it, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Jing seems to be arriving soon."

Yukinoshita Yukino immediately raised her head and asked in confusion:
"Hmm? Mr. Yukino was speeding, wasn't he?"

"Well, this is absolutely beyond doubt. I suggest that you, Xiao Xueno, call and report her immediately!"

Yang said seriously.

Yukino obviously wouldn't do that, she is strict with herself and she is not the Pacific Police.

Seeing that his sister didn't respond, Yang Nai curled her lips in disappointment and asked:

"What about Hojo? Hasn't he finished his side yet?"

"Hojo? Didn't he go hang out with his friends? I thought we were the only ones accompanying Hiratsuka-sensei?"

Yukino looked at the three older sisters in confusion.

Miki Okudera smiled awkwardly, and Yukino avoided Yukinoshita's gaze with a vague look.

Yang Nao nonchalantly opened a pair of disposable chopsticks, picked up a bunch of unknown side dishes and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Oh, it's fish skin. Xiao Xueno, you guys try it, it's very crisp and chewy."

She shouted in surprise, and it was obvious that this "お通し" brought her a surprise.

Yukino and Miki picked up their chopsticks obediently. Since it was compulsory consumption, this appetizer which was equivalent to a seat fee was also considered to be the restaurant's attitude towards customers. After all, it was served to you as soon as you sat down. If it was not well prepared, the customers would definitely not be in a good mood for the rest of their meal.

In some stores, this appetizer is a limited item and is only available once. Some customers will even specifically choose a store just for this appetizer.

"It's really good. The heat is controlled very well when blanching."

Miki Okudera commented that cold fish skin is a very simple dish, but it is also difficult to make delicious. Different fish have different skin thicknesses. If it is too cooked, it will be soft, and if it is too raw, it will not taste good. In short, you can order another dish later.

Yukino did not spoil the fun. She also picked up the chopsticks, picked up a few pieces of fish skin mixed with spices, and put them into her mouth, chewing them carefully.

Well, it’s really delicious. No wonder cats like to eat fish.

Wait a minute, could this fish be caught by Fat Cat?
The girl's thoughts wandered involuntarily, and when she came to her senses, she found that she had eaten the entire dish of cold fish skin.

She was about to apologize when she saw her sisters had already started enjoying the next dish. They were all very small plates. If it were Hojo Kyosuke, he would have to eat at least four or five plates in one bite.

After wiping his mouth and taking a big gulp of ice beer, Yang Nai finally spoke slowly:
"If we don't call that unlucky Hojo over, won't we have to bear Xiaojing's anger later? Or are you, Xiaoyukino, already impatient to apologize? In that case, it's not impossible to give you this good opportunity."

As she spoke she glanced sideways at her sister.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yukino raised her head and looked at Sister Miki and Teacher Yukino opposite her. The former had a wicked smile on her face, and the latter pursed her lips embarrassedly, obviously agreeing with what her sister said.

She then lowered her head, picked up the oolong tea and took a sip.

It’s better to scold Hojo. That guy is extremely thick-skinned and he definitely doesn’t care.

At this time, Yukino also received a reply from Hojo Kyousuke, saying that the meeting was almost over and he would be here soon. He also included the dishes he wanted to order, many of which were requested by Eriri.

This guy was too embarrassed to eat in front of so many of Hojo Kyosuke's subordinates, and pretended to be a lady with a small stomach. He didn't even drink Coke, but just took a sip of water, which scared all the new girls. Even Onizuka and Danma's girlfriends believed that this was a well-educated noble lady, and ordered their boyfriends to help this noble lady in the future battle for the general manager's wife.

However, what they didn't know was that Miss Spencer might get drunk to the point of blurring her mind after drinking a glass of beer, but she could drink 500 milliliters of Coke in one breath. She was a well-trained Coke warrior. It was precisely because of this that the great Benzi God could come up with something like Coke torture. She sat high on the throne of heaven and looked down on all living beings.

After telling everyone that Hojo-kun was coming, Yukino quickly summoned the waiter and started taking orders.

Meanwhile, Yamadaira Izakaya
The large tatami was already filled with people lying in all directions, and the few who were still able to sit were staggering.

Hojo Kyosuke held the thick handle of the beer glass and drank it all in one gulp with a calm expression.

Diagonally opposite him, Onizuka raised the cup with all his strength, but just as he was about to bring it to his lips, his hand slipped and the whole cup of beer poured directly over his head.

Boom-!
The thick tempered cup hit him directly on the head, making a pleasant sound.

hiss……

Eriri grimaced in pain and was just about to ask whether they should call an ambulance, when she saw Onizuka's girlfriend calmly picked up the cup and started wiping the tatami with a tissue.

"It's okay. Onitsuka's head is harder than a baseball bat. This kind of attack is a piece of cake for him."

Hojo Kyosuke smiled and then loudly called out to Boss Yamadaira.

This kind of family-run izakaya is basically a front store and a back house, or a lower store and an upper house. The reason why everyone drinks so freely is because they agreed in the morning to rest at Yamahira's house.

After politely declining the boss's offer of help, Hojo Kyosuke picked up the clothes on Onitsuka and Danma's backs and started moving them one by one. In less than a few minutes, the tatami was cleared, and the living room and guest rooms of the Yamahira family were also filled with people.

These guys are strong and energetic. They constantly exercise their self-healing abilities from injuries sustained in fights, so their metabolic rate is also very fast. They can sober up after sleeping for an hour or two, which is very convenient.

Kisaki, who had said before that he wanted to enjoy his vacation, was now drunk and unconscious. Before he passed out, he kept yelling for someone to take him to the company. Hojo Kyosuke was almost moved to tears. No way.

However, the soft-hearted Eriri couldn't help but advise Hojo Kyosuke to exploit Xisaki less. The latter immediately listed a dozen things that Xisaki had to do on his behalf, saying that if he didn't exploit Xisaki, he would have to do these things by himself. In the future, they would not be able to watch stupid animations together at home, and he wouldn't even have time to draw comics.

Upon hearing this, Eriri immediately shook her head like a rattle and changed the topic, saying that you should give Xisaki a higher salary in the future. After all, this is a capitalist society and friendship is all fake. It would be better to just give Xisaki money out of pity.

Hojo Kyosuke touched the girl's head and said, "She is a teachable child."

Her Royal Highness the Princess immediately raised her chin proudly and said, "I am the descendant of the Pirate Queen. You still have to learn the craft of slavery."

Then he started to brag about himself, saying that if it were him, he would make sure that Kisaki would die suddenly with a smile on her face, and would also let Kisaki leave behind relatives and instruct their descendants to continue serving the Hojo family for generations.

After saying goodbye to a group of new girls he met and getting a lot of promises that they would ask everyone around them to support Hojo-sensei, he finally walked out of the Yamadaira Izakaya with Eriri.

"call--"

Hojo Kyosuke took a long breath and breathed in the cool sea breeze at night.

I didn't smell much fishy smell. In fact, as long as you are not near a fishing port, the seaside is not as fishy as you might imagine. But there was a lot of gunpowder smell left by the fireworks festival. Hojo Kyosuke almost felt like he was going to heaven after taking a breath of it. He lowered his head in fear.

"Let's go, Xue Ye has already ordered the dishes for you. It is said that the fish used in that restaurant are all caught by the cat himself at the beach."

He turned to look at Eriri and said.

The girl's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this. Although she was not a cat fanatic like Yukinoshita, she also liked cats very much. Or it could be said that there were very few people in Neon who didn't like cats.

However, even though she was moved, it was a rare opportunity to spend time alone with someone, and she didn't want to reunite with Yukino and the others so soon.

Then Her Royal Highness the Princess straightened her face and said seriously:
"What? How can a cat catch fish? I don't believe it! In fact, cats can't catch fish at all. This is just a rumor!"

Hojo Kyosuke looked over in surprise. He thought Eriri would worry about whether the fish bitten by a cat would carry rabies, but he didn't expect this guy to be so smart. He nodded in agreement:
"Well, that's actually what Yukino said. I also think it's impossible."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ying Lili changed her tone again and said seriously:
"But it's not impossible. I heard there are cats that live on the water. They can not only fish with fishing rods but also dive to catch fish. Even whales can't escape the cat's claws!"

Hojo Kyosuke asked tentatively: "...The cat you are talking about, is it called Doraemon or Tom?"

Eriri said angrily, "What a mess! I told you to watch less children's animation. Kyousuke! You are already a high school student. You need to learn to see the world with your own eyes."

"so……?"

"Cough-cough-"

Ying Lili pretended to cough twice, turned her face to the side to avoid someone's sight, and said with false kindness:
"As your senior, I decided to accompany you to the beach to have a good look to see if there are any cats catching fish there. If there are, take a picture of it and bring it back to us, or bring the eleventh-generation cat to our store. Didn't you say Yukino really wanted to see it?"

Hahaha~~This idiot...

Hojo Kyosuke laughed in silence. He looked at the girl's blushing face and whispered, "Actually, I was planning to ask you if you wanted to go for a walk on the beach together."

Ying Lili turned around, wrinkled her nose, and said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Would it be more face-saving for you if I said it first?"

No, it's because idiots are so cute when they're angry~~
Hojo Kyosuke was smiling playfully. When Eriri suddenly came to him alone, he guessed what the girl was thinking. He didn't say anything just to tease her.

The two then turned around and headed towards the beach. The layouts of several towns and shopping streets in Atami are similar, with all of them leading directly to the beach.

After taking a few steps, Hojo Kyosuke lowered his arm and accurately grabbed a small hand that was also approaching.

"There are too many people here, so it's better to hold hands to avoid getting lost," he said.

Ying Lili grunted and said, "I, I thought so too!"

The street was not long, it was just a small town, and the two soon reached the highway by the sea.

Below is the familiar Sunshine Beach, and the sand has turned silvery white under the moonlight.

The beach is fun and boring. After a day's work, come to the beach, listen to the sound of the tide, and take a slow walk along the water. It seems that you can release the fatigue of the whole day and recall the happiness that has been ignored.

The two of them walked down the stairs slowly. Eriri, wearing a yukata, couldn't take two or three steps at a time as usual. Instead, she let Hojo Kyosuke hold her hand like a lady and walked down step by step, slightly sideways. Surprisingly, she looked very elegant.

As soon as she stepped on the sand, the girl bent down and took off her clogs.

"Here, hold it for me."

Her Royal Highness the Princess pretended to be calm when speaking, but she was actually screaming with joy in her heart.

She had wanted Kyosuke to help her carry her shoes during the day, but she felt embarrassed because there were too many people around. Now it finally happened.

Hojo Kyosuke obediently picked up the two people's clogs.

Barefoot, the two walked on the sand towards the water.

That’s it, that’s it, that’s right!
Eriri screamed quietly in her heart.

The boy held his shoes in one hand and held the girl's hand with the other, and the two of them walked on the sand and the moonlight.

This is the correct way to enjoy the beach! (End of this chapter)
