"Haha." Grandma Shoko looked at Yuzuru Nishimiya with gentle eyes: "Later, Yuzuru said that you guided her in writing it, and that put our minds at ease."
At least someone I know, like Yuta Kijima.
"Uh……"
Yuta Kijima didn't know how much his wise mother-in-law had figured out, but he couldn't afford to lose his composure right now. He said, "To be honest, I was quite surprised when I saw Yuzuru's outline, because even I was left wanting more after reading the story it described."
"Indeed."
Grandma Shoko stared at Yuta Kijima's glasses until he almost thought he had said something wrong, then she laughed and said, "Does Yaeko think Yuzuru is having a crush at school?"
"Whoo~"
Yuta Kijima secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, saying, "It's probably just Yuzuru's personal imagination about youth."
Fortunately, in order to make the light novel seem less full of plot holes, he chose a story about middle school students falling in love early. Even if people misunderstood, at most Yuzuru would just take the blame.
It's important to know that he did much more than just this in order to get closer to Yuzuru Hanyu himself.
He replaced the male perspective in the original "Tsuki ga Kirei" with a female perspective that fits Yuzuru Nishimiya's experiences, but the general plot setting remained unchanged.
Even after reading it carefully, one can still feel the memories and imagination of first love contained within.
This is why Grandma Shoko and Aunt Nishimiya both felt that Yuzuru was having an early romance after watching it...
"Stop talking!" Nishimiya Yuzuru covered her face with her hands, her face turning bright red.
It was clearly a beautiful and pure love story of youth, but her mother insisted that it was puppy love, even though Nishimiya Yuzuru refused to admit it and kept looking at her with those pitying eyes.
Chapter 117 Many thanks
Yuzuru Nishimiya has already decided that once her older sister is successfully cured, she will make her experience the same despair she is currently feeling!
Grandma Shoko said, "No matter what, I'm still very grateful to Kijima for helping with Yuzuru's matter."
"No."
Yuta Kijima quickly shook his head, speaking against his conscience.
While lying to the elderly is not a good thing, a white lie is certainly not a problem.
"Kijima-kun, please wait a moment, your food will be ready soon."
A kind and gentle voice rang out, and Kijima Yuta turned his head to look. He saw Nishimiya's mother sticking her head out of the kitchen and speaking in this direction. After speaking, she went back into the kitchen.
"?"
Suddenly feeling his clothes being gently tugged, Yuta Kijima turned his head to look.
Seeing a pair of extremely pure and lovely eyes looking at her, she realized it was Nishimiya Shoko, who had somehow wandered around from behind the sofa to her side.
Seeing that Yuta Kijima was staring at her, the blush on Nishimiya Shoko's cheeks spread even faster.
"Shoko, how have you been lately?"
We're supposed to be good friends, so why do I still get so shy when we meet?
Seeing Yuta Kijima's sign language, Shoko also carefully responded with her own hand gestures: "Nothing has changed, just like before. I was a little surprised to hear that Yuzuru has created his own light novel."
Seeing the two getting along so harmoniously, Grandma Shoko smiled subtly and took out a newspaper to read.
Yuzuru Nishimiya also pursed his lips before going into the kitchen to help.
"Yuzuru has a real talent for this. Tomorrow I'll take her to see Machida-san to handle the contract matters. Shoko should come along too; Machida-san misses you a lot," Yuta Kijima said with a slight smile.
"Eh? Me?"
She was a little confused when Kijima Yuta invited her to Nishimiya Shoko. Wasn't this a rather serious matter? Could she also be there? However, she thought of Machida Sonoko, whom she had met at Kijima Yuta's house, and felt a little tempted.
Since returning from Yuta Kijima's house, she hasn't had many friends willing to chat with her, and she misses those friends from Yuta's house.
Actually, Yaeko Nishimiya was supposed to accompany Yuzuru Nishimiya to the signing ceremony tomorrow, but she's too busy with her job at the hospital to take time off, so he'll have to take Yuzuru there instead.
The solution is simple: just bring the official seal that proves Nishimiya Yaeko's identity.
The seals of island nations are not only reflected in daily life, but also have great legal recognition.
So there's no need to worry about signing a contract.
"Yes, Machida-san is also planning to sign Yuzuru tomorrow and take a good break. Everyone can rest tomorrow too."
Yuta Kijima explained, then gave a subtle smile and continued to persuade, "Machida-san, all the expenses for signing the contract tomorrow can be reimbursed by the publisher, so why not go?"
Nishimiya Shoko was stunned after hearing this. Could it be possible to get something for free like this?
But she was indeed tempted and nodded slightly in agreement.
Seeing this, Yuta Kijima nodded and said, "Then I'll come pick you and Yuzuru up together tomorrow."
Yuzuru Nishimiya: "...So I'm just an afterthought..."
The two chatted quietly in sign language, while Grandma Shoko watched gently from the side.
A moment later, Shoko's mother's voice came from the kitchen.
Dinner is ready!
Along with this, Yuzuru Nishimiya carefully and cautiously walked out of the kitchen, carrying a plate in each hand.
When Yuta Kijima saw this, he got up to help, but was stopped by Grandma Shoko.
"It's alright. Kijima is the guest today. Let the two sisters handle these."
Dinner was very lavish, several levels better than when he last visited Shoko's house. However, he could understand that last time they didn't know whether the person who came had good intentions or bad intentions.
This is mainly to thank Yuta Kijima for his help.
Seeing this, he was filled with confidence to help Shoko overcome her hearing impairment.
Under the care of Shoko's mother and grandmother, Yuta Kijima sat down at the dining table with peace of mind.
After everyone is seated.
"I'm gonna start now!"
Just as everyone was about to start eating, Nishimiya Yaeko suddenly coughed twice.
After looking around, she put down her chopsticks, stood up, and bowed solemnly to Yuta Kijima: "First of all, thank you very much, Kijima-kun, for taking care of our Shoko and Yuzuru."
"Whether it was helping Shoko back then or guiding Yuzuru in writing light novels now, I am truly grateful to Kijima for his help to our family."
Yuta Kijima held a bowl in his hands, stared at it blankly for a moment, then immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up. "Aunt Nishimiya, please don't say that. I didn't actually do anything. Those were just some small things."
“Hmm…” Nishimiya Yaeko shook her head, but this time she sat back down in her seat.
Seeing that Shoko's mother had finally sat down, Kijima Yuta breathed a sigh of relief and sat down as well.
The others stared at each other, still completely bewildered by what Yaeko Nishimiya had just done.
Yuzuru fell silent, blinking his eyes as he watched the events unfold with curiosity.
Nishimiya Yaeko looked at Kijima Yuta and said seriously, "Kijima-kun, just know that you will be welcome to visit our home from now on."
Nishimiya Yuzuru's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Yes, Yuta-nii can come to my house often in the future!"
Yuta Kijima smiled awkwardly and nodded.
What followed was some simple, casual conversation. Of course, Shoko's mother specifically reminded Yuzuru to listen carefully to Yuta Kijima's words the next day.
Taking advantage of this moment, Yuta Kijima also brought up the matter of bringing Shoko along to sign the contract the next day.
Shoko's mother did not refuse, and gave Shoko Nishimiya the instructions again.
At the same time, he also asked Yuzuru to take good care of his older sister.
The meal lasted for more than half an hour before it was almost over.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that Yuta Kijima ended his long chat with Shoko's mother in the living room.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
"I will come to pick up Shoko and the others on time tomorrow."
Yuta Kijima stood up, bowed slightly, and walked towards the door under Yaeko Nishimiya's gratified gaze.
"I...! I'll go see Yuta-nii off!" Nishimiya Yuzuru ran impatiently toward Kijima Yuta and volunteered.
Nishimiya Shoko, who was about to see Kijima Yuta off, paused upon hearing this, then sat back down on the sofa...
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
They left the house.
Yuta Kijima looked at Yuzuru Nishimiya with a questioning look: "Yuzuru, is there anything else?"
Yuzuru Nishimiya seemed not to hear him, fidgeting and looking down at him shyly. After a while, she finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Yu...Yuta-nii! Do you like my sister!?"
Chapter 118 Senior Sister
Holy crap! What are you doing?!
As expected, from Kijima Yuta's puzzled perspective, Nishimiya Yuzuru's face quickly turned bright red.
She just thought this guy seemed nice.
It would be nice if my sister could be with him.
"Yuta-nii, I'm just curious why you're so nice to my sister." Nishimiya Yuzuru's words were a little incoherent.
"Of course...you don't have to answer, Yuta-nii!"
She kept her head down, unwilling to look directly into Yuta Kijima's eyes, and then turned to go back into the house after speaking.
Just as Nishimiya Yuzuru was about to put the question aside, Kijima Yuta called out to her with a strange expression, "Yuzuru!"
Seeing her stop, Yuta Kijima continued, "I think Shoko and I have a very special friendship. Now... let's not complicate things. I respect Shoko and consider her a very close friend."
Upon hearing this, Nishimiya Yuzuru turned around and quickly nodded, saying, "I...I understand, Yuta-nii!"
Upon hearing that it wasn't what she had expected, she couldn't quite describe whether she felt relieved or experienced some other emotion.
Yuta Kijima nodded slightly and said, "Yuzuru is also a very precious friend of mine."
"..."
"Okay...okay..." Nishimiya Yuzuru's breathing became a little disordered, and he quickly said, "Then I'll go back first, Yuta-nii, you should go home early too..."
Coming to my senses, I hurriedly returned to the house.
