Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Hojo Kyosuke glanced at the Yukinoshita sisters with different expressions, and his heart was calm and he could not empathize with them at all, because his mother would only complain when faced with such a situation, "Why does this chicken have bones!"

When I was still in Shuimon City, the cows that committed suicide for various reasons in my hometown were cut up and sent to me by Hojo Ichiro. Basically, I just had to cut them into the shapes I liked and then cook them. Even so, my mother still had complaints, wondering why the cows couldn't be more convenient, just like in the game, where they could be turned into steak or beef rice directly after death.

However, compared to his indifference and Hiratsuka Shizuka's laughter, the little golden retriever opposite with a look of empathy and sympathy was the most outrageous.

Eriri stretched out her arm and gently patted Yangno's shoulder, saying sadly: "Alas, we who bear the glory of our family are destined not to be as casual as ordinary girls. This is inevitable..."

Even a girl like Haruno, who was extremely shrewd and had excellent psychological quality, couldn't help but feel her eyes twitching after hearing what Eriri said.

I beg you to stop talking. Among so many people here, you are the least qualified to say this!
Hojo Kyosuke was amused. He had seen Eriri's perfect young lady mode before. Although her every move was elegant and polite, she was also approachable besides her aristocratic demeanor. In other words, "Although she has a noble family background, is beautiful, and has great talents, she is really not arrogant at all and is very approachable."

In the few years since he met Eriri, Hojo Kyosuke could almost be considered the fourth person in the Spencer family. Whenever the couple had time, they would invite him to their home on behalf of their proud daughter. Sometimes they would just eat fried food and watch cartoons together, and sometimes they would invite him to the Spencer family's dinner parties and introduce him to some upper-class people in Tokyo, as if they were raising him like a son.

Although Mr. Spencer is a cute kid at the bottom of the food chain, he is clearly qualified as a diplomat. This doesn't mean that he married a local wife and was brainwashed by the two-dimensional culture, but that he knows how to maintain the aristocratic style of the Great Ying Empire as a conjugated father in front of the Japanese.

He is usually keen on Chinese food, Japanese food and all non-British food, but when he holds a banquet, he prefers to use British food to entertain guests. Then, when eating, he quietly displays the "elegant dining etiquette" that he hated since childhood but was forced to learn by his elders. Although it is hard to say who is better in terms of ritual sense, from a national level, it is obvious that the Great Ying Empire, which is a joint father and son with America, is more powerful.

One time when Hojo Kyosuke went to the Kyu-Furukawa Garden to visit Eriri, the visiting guest was the owner of a large Japanese conglomerate. It seemed that they wanted to reach a cooperation with the Spencer family to do something in Japan. Because there were young children among the chaebol's guests, Eriri couldn't pretend that she was not at home and hide in her room to play, so everyone sat together during dinner.

As everyone knows, someone made a fool of themselves during the meal. It wasn't Hojo Kyousuke, who could chew chicken bones and even ceramic plates into pieces. It was the daughter of a wealthy family, a girl older than Eriri, who was studying at university.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was very good at that time. Everyone was drinking together, and then the beef on the silver fork of the chaebol lady fell into the wine glass, and the white wine splashed. Hojo Kyosuke, who had excellent eyesight, clearly saw the crystal water droplets jump into the gap between the lady's chest.

The expression on the young lady's face disappeared immediately, and the expressions of her parents beside her also changed. Although they did not get "furious" due to their own self-cultivation, they definitely felt that their daughter had lost face.

Mr. Spencer was about to call the waiter, but then he saw Ying Lili picked up a piece of beef, put it directly into her cup, rinsed it, and then ate it in one bite.

Then Her Royal Highness the Princess grinned and gave a hearty smile to the young lady of the chaebol family opposite her. The subtle atmosphere at the table instantly disappeared, and Mr. Spencer and the young lady's father both laughed.

This way of rescuing you was very blunt, but the effect was surprisingly good. After all, face is something that only others give you. It is very touching that the noble princess did such a stupid thing to rescue you.

The lady obviously understood and smiled and thanked Eriri. The waiter came over and replaced the cups and drinks naturally, and everyone acted as if nothing had happened.

After the banquet, Hojo Kyosuke quietly asked Eriri if she had heard of washing hands with lemon water before eating Western food, and tentatively asked if the princess would drink the hand washing water for him if he accidentally drank it.

Then the princess flew into a rage and said angrily: "You are my chores, even if you want to drink the hand washing water, you can only drink my hand washing water!"

Hojo Kyosuke was relieved and thought that if he really wanted to drink lemon water in the future, he would have to wait until Eriri washed her hands.

In short, the noble Miss Spencer is such a person. Although she usually looks like an idiot, it is because she is too familiar. If she is in front of strangers, she will definitely become a considerate, beautiful and kind princess. This is recognized by all the students of Feng Zhiqi Private Academy. Even those who are jealous of her beauty and talent have to admit that she is a noble and approachable lady (this statement comes from Eriri's own statement).

Hojo Kyosuke also met Eriri's classmates several times at her home, and got to see how she got along with her friends. There was no tsundere, and when her friends walked in her huge manor and stepped on the luxurious carpet, they couldn't avoid the huge trees, but soon it became natural under her mediation.

She would introduce the valuable items in her home, but she didn't show off, just shared them with her friends in an equal manner, and she would also frankly admit that they were actually given by others, and she herself could not appreciate the beauty of them. Her friends would pretend to appreciate them seriously for a long time, and then agree with her words, and the girls would soon burst into laughter.

Only when her friends revealed their desire for Hojo Kyosuke would she bare her fangs and show off her other language skills, and then she would quickly get rid of her friends.

This is the perfect young lady of Toyonosaki Academy, Sawamura Spencer Eriri.

In short, with Mr. Spencer and Mrs. Sayuri's personalities, Eriri couldn't imagine the situation at Yukinoshita's house. Didn't you see that even Yukino was speechless?

But the blonde idiot didn't realize it. He was drinking fresh juice, but he seemed to be drunk and comforted the Yukinoshita sisters, talking a lot. If it were any other idiot, the Yukinoshita sisters would have turned on their venomous tongues, but everyone knew that Eriri was really kind, so they could only nod their heads and show their gratitude. So sincerity is the ultimate skill, and a sincere idiot can overcome everything.

Shizuka Hiratsuka was sitting nearby and almost dying of laughter, but in order to avoid laughing too wildly and disturbing Eriri, she kept drinking beer to cover her mouth.

Soon her special hamburger meat set was served. The beef used to make beef balls and hamburger meat were of course not of the same grade. They used not scraps but top-quality beef leg meat. The boss was also a very good cook, and probably considered that beef leg meat would be a bit dry when made into hamburger meat because of the low fat content, so she made special preparations. Shizuka Hiratsuka used chopsticks to split the hamburger meat in half, and the rich meat burst out, and the aroma was overflowing.

Gollum—

Eriri, who was talking endlessly about her glorious achievements, turned her head and moved her neck up and down.

"smell good!"

She murmured, and one of her small hands slid down.

Four months...

Touching her belly, she guessed cautiously.

Just as she was about to eat, Shizuka Hiratsuka saw Eriri's greedy look, and she laughed and generously gave her half. This new friend was unexpectedly interesting.

Looking at the hamburger meat that was fried until brown and sizzling with oil on the cut surface, Eriri picked up the chopsticks and split it in half again, then handed the other one to Hojo Kyosuke.

stare--

Shizuka Hiratsuka narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at Hojo Kyosuke, but the latter didn't even look at him and swallowed it in one gulp with a calm expression.

This kid...is thicker-skinned than I thought.

The beautiful teacher was amazed. Not only Miki and Yukino were sitting here, but also Haruno and Yukino. He actually didn't hide his intimacy with Miss Sawamura at all. Should we say he was frank or unscrupulous?
As she savored the deliciousness of the beef in her mouth, Shizuka Hiratsuka was filled with thoughts.

Seeing that there was fun, Yangno immediately raised her chopsticks to put food on Hojo Kyosuke's plate, and then enjoyed Eriri's unhappy expression.

Shizuka Hiratsuka started to complain about the school assigning her a lot of work during the holidays, and then Hojo Kyosuke's phone started to ring. Because they were traveling, he asked everyone to carry their phones at all times to keep in touch.

Before he took out his cell phone, he thought it was Sakura Mitsuha and the others who wanted to come over to play, but when he took it out, he found out it was the editor-in-chief Shimomura of the magazine.

Without any hesitation, he hung up the phone immediately.

What are you thinking? I'm not Hiratsuka Shizuka, how could I call an old man like you on a beautiful night during the holidays? If you have something to say, can't you go to Xisaki?
On the other hand, if it were an ordinary person, they would definitely think that it was inconvenient to answer the phone after the other party hung up, but Shimomura Tetsuya, who had been Hojo Kyosuke's editor for three years, knew very well what kind of person the other party was. In addition, he heard from his son that Hojo Kyosuke was traveling, so he concluded that the lazy guy definitely had nothing important to do and simply didn't want to work.

So he dialed again immediately, and while waiting for the call to be connected he sent a message, threatening that if the call was not answered he would contact Miss Spencer or Miss Kasumigaoka, or directly contact Mrs. Hojo.

Because they had attended the Mystery Association's awards ceremony before, Hojo Kyosuke's friends had gotten to know his family, and at least they had shared a lot of contact information.

Mikiko Hojo was very happy to meet her son's friends and colleagues, and promised to welcome them to Hokkaido, with an additional sentence: "My son Kyosuke is a bit willful, so please bear with me."

People like Osaka Tsuyoshi, Chikano Kenzo and Shimomura Tetsuya smiled bitterly in their hearts after hearing this. Hojo Kyosuke was not just willful, he was completely reckless.

If they were not so cowardly, they would have wanted to cry to that lady at the Mystery Association Awards ceremony, “Look at your amazing son, do you think this is something we can tolerate?”. Everyone’s biggest wish is, “We don’t ask that you remember us friends when you become an immortal, we just hope that when you get into trouble in the future, you won’t say you knew us.”

Seeing the message, Hojo Kyosuke grinned and wanted to say, "Then you can call my old man." But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. He was happy to order his father around, but his mother must be with his father at the moment. It would be better not to disturb the couple's happy time.

He waved his phone towards everyone and said, "It's Editor Shimomura calling. He should be telling me about today's new comic series. I'll go downstairs for a minute."

Everyone is chatting here, and it's not good for him to make a phone call by himself, so it's better to find another place.

When they heard about the new manga, Hiratsuka Shizuka and Eriri's eyes lit up immediately, but the former couldn't help but want to complain and share the interesting things on the way here, while the latter didn't want to expose her identity as an otaku because of the presence of people like Hiratsuka Shizuka and Haruno who she didn't know very well. So everyone just waved and asked Hojo to come back as soon as possible.

Hojo Kyosuke answered the phone, walked downstairs while talking, and found a place with fewer people and started talking to Editor Shimomura.

As expected, he was called in the middle of the night to talk about a new comic. He can now be called the mainstay of Weekly Shonen High. One Punch Man and Attack on Titan are still being serialized. Even though he started the printing press mode and updated frantically in the early stage, it seems that the day of completion is far away. In this case, the magazine company would not be too happy for him to start a new comic, because if the performance is not good, it will affect the value of the name Hojo Kyousuke.

However, given that someone has extraordinary strength that is like a printing press, starting with the editor-in-chief Tetsuya Shimomura, everyone in the magazine has high expectations for the mystery comics he will release after winning the highest award in the mystery literature world, and they all believe that he will continue to create miracles.

"So Masao should have told you I was on vacation, right? If anything happens, just tell Kisaki no. You know he can take care of it."

Hojo Kyosuke complained that there were two men smoking in the alley where he was and the smell was not very good.

Shimomura Tetsuya, who was originally full of excitement, immediately changed his expression upon hearing this and roared:
"How dare you say that? If I hadn't been unable to contact Xisaki, would I have been happy to look for you?"

"..."

Uh, Hojo Kyosuke then remembered that Xisaki had been drunk by him.

You are so poor, Xisaki. Can't you work when you are drunk? (End of this chapter)
