Hashima Hikaru was dragging the suitcase in his hand with a smile on his face.

"……OK then."

After hearing what the other party said, Ichinose Honami did not insist and turned around to lead the way for Hashima Hikaru.

"Hashima-nii, do you want a sister?"

Ichinose Miu's face was filled with joy as she asked the boy a question.

"Yes."

"Then Hashima-nii, just treat me as your sister. You and your sister are a couple anyway."

"No problem."

Mitsuru Hashima nodded. He had been very gentle since he met the other party. After all, the other party was his girlfriend's family, and they might have to live together in the future, so naturally he had to take the initiative to get closer to them.

As they continued walking forward, Hikaru Hashima kept chatting with the little girl next to him. Because he was a very talkative person, he quickly became familiar with Miu Ichinose.

However, during the conversation, the observant Mitsuru Hashima discovered another thing - although the girl next to him looked clean and tidy, her clothes must have been worn for a long time.

Both her cotton coat and pants showed signs of time, and it was obvious that she hadn't bought new clothes for a long time.

Hikaru Hashima remembered the family situation that Ichinose Honami had previously told her about. Although his girlfriend's tuition and living expenses were all exempted after she entered high school, her mother still had to provide for her younger daughter, and the pressure of life was still not small.

Money is the foundation of this material world and the starting point of everything.

The boy's mood suddenly became heavy. Since he had decided to take responsibility for the other person's life, he had to consider this issue together.

Although he and Ichinose Honami have a lot of personal points, that is not a way to exchange them for money. If they want to get more money, they need to think of new ways.

"Hashima-nii, what are you thinking about?"

After noticing the change in the boy's expression, Ichinose Miu came over and asked.

"No idea. How about Miu and I open the presents together later?"

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

"It will not let you down."

After walking for about ten minutes, we finally arrived at Ichinose Honami's house.

It is located on the third floor of a residential building that looks very old. Going up and down requires using an old iron staircase, which makes a creaking sound when you step on it. From the outside, it looks like a very simple house, but the gray-white door panels are very clean, and it can be seen that the owner is a hardworking person.

"Mom, I brought my sister back!"

Ichinose Miu called out from the door.

After a few seconds, the sound of slippers stepping on wooden boards was heard from inside the door. When the door opened, a lady wearing an apron appeared in front of Mitsuru Hashima.

The other person's hair color is the same as the two sisters. Her beautiful and elegant face is still very charming, and she exudes a mature aura. However, because she has been working all year round, her eyebrows and eyes look a little tired.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Ichinose Honami immediately rushed to the front of the lady, who immediately smiled gently. She hugged her daughter and wanted to love her well, but she caught a glimpse of another figure standing next to her out of the corner of her eye.

He was a handsome young man with a tall and straight figure, which made his presence very strong. After seeing his face clearly, Ichinose Keiko was immediately surprised.

"Who is this……?"

"Hello, Auntie. My name is Hikaru Hashima, and I'm Honami's boyfriend. I'm sorry to have come to visit you. I hope you can give me your guidance."

"...Oh, then come in quickly and don't stand outside."

Mrs. Ichinose paused for a moment, then let all three of them in. Although Ichinose Honami had called to inform her in advance, Ichinose Keiko was still curious about Hashima Hikaru.

As a mother, she wanted to know what kind of person her daughter fell in love with.

This is what must be done.

438

Chapter 438: January is here, and new props are just right.

After entering the house, Mitsuru Hashima became more certain of his previous judgment. This was a small apartment with only two rooms. Although it was decorated very cozily, many details revealed the family's difficult financial situation.

"Hashima-kun, can I call you that?"

Keiko Ichinose was wearing an apron. She was just preparing to cook. After all, her eldest daughter had returned, so she still had to prepare some dishes.

"Of course, you can call me auntie however you like, I have no problem with that."

Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly, and under the guidance of Ichinose Honami, she sat on the sofa in the living room.

"That's good. I was just cooking. Please wait a moment."

"Let me help you, Mom."

As an experienced cook, Ichinose Honami smelled the food when she walked in and immediately volunteered.

"You just came back, you can take a rest, and there is a guest coming today, don't you want to accompany him?"

"No need. I've already rested in the car. Just let me cook with mom. I've never experienced this kind of feeling before."

Ichinose Honami gave Hashima Hikaru a look that expressed her desire.

"No problem, leave it to me, Hashima-nii!"

Ichinose Miu suddenly interrupted the conversation between the mother and daughter. She took the initiative to sit next to the boy with a happy smile on her face.

"I have no objection."

Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly.

"Hey hey hey."

"Hey...Miyuu, you?"

Keiko Ichinose was immediately surprised. Logically, this girl should have met her sister's boyfriend on the first day, so how come she became so close to him so quickly?

"...That's it, let's go cook first."

Ichinose Honami urged her mother beside her, and as they walked towards the kitchen, she glanced at the two people sitting on the sofa, who seemed to be opening gifts.

"Wow, it's Lego!"

Miu Ichinose stared at the gift she had just opened. She knew that this thing was very expensive and very popular among students. Not only was it played in a variety of ways, but it also had a lot of custom content. While playing, one could also enjoy the sense of accomplishment after putting the pieces together.

"How about it? Do you like it? I spent a long time choosing."

Hashima Hikaru picked up the manual, took a look at it, and took the initiative to invite: "Miyu, do you want to play with me tonight?"

"Yeah, I want to build Lego with Hashima-nii!"

A blush of excitement appeared on the little girl's face. She stroked the toy in her hand and felt very happy.

"Okay, but we still have to eat first."

Hikaru Hashima sorted out the bags inside the Lego gift box. Because there were so many pieces, it was very difficult to put them together.

About half an hour later, lunch was ready at Ichinose's house. When the pink-haired girl and her mother came out with the dishes, Hashima Hikaru immediately stepped forward to lend a hand.

After the food was served, the four of them sat down.

During the meal, Ichinose Honami kept picking up food for Hashima Hikaru on her own initiative. The wife next to her saw this and became even more curious.

Because she was very familiar with her eldest daughter, Keiko Ichinose saw it clearly. The girl was very skilled in putting food into the other's bowl, as if she had done it many times before.

"Um, Hashima-kun, I have some questions I want to ask you. Is it convenient for you?"

Keiko Ichinose thought about it and finally decided to speak out. After all, as a mother, she felt it necessary to know what kind of person her daughter's partner was.

"Mom, can we talk after dinner?"

Ichinose Honami was a little reluctant, "I didn't even get enough rest after just riding in the car."

"It's okay, Auntie, you can ask any questions you have. After all, your daughter and I are dating. If I say you're not curious, I'd be lying."

Hashima Hikaru shook his head at Ichinose Honami and said with a smile, "After all, chatting is also a way to increase understanding."

"Hashima-kun is really good at talking. If that's the case, I'll just ask directly."

Ichinose Keiko was very satisfied with Hashima Hikaru's answer. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she began to ask questions.

"Ah."

The young man nodded slightly.

After listening to this conversation, the Ichinose sisters sitting on the left and right naturally turned their eyes over, and they were all very curious about what the conversation would be next.

"How long have Hashima-kun and Honoki been dating?"

"Uh, we've been officially dating for about four months."

"Then how did you meet?"

Keiko Ichinose noticed that her daughter put her hand on her arm, so she took the initiative to touch her little hand and did not stop asking questions.

"Because Fanbo and I were in the same class and sat at the same table, we gradually became close."

Hashima Hikaru's answer was smooth and without any pause.

"That……"

Ichinose Keiko paused and spoke again, "Is this Hashima-kun's first time in love?"

"Yes, this is my first time dating a girl, and it should be the same for Fanbo."

Hashima Hikaru looked at the girl's face and knew that this was the truth.

"I see."

Ichinose Keiko thought about it and seemed to be relieved. "That's good. I'm sure the relationship between Hashima-kun and Honami is very sweet."

"Uh, okay."

"I've finished asking my questions, there's no need to be so nervous, Fanbo."

Mrs. Ichinose patted her daughter's hand and said with a smile, "I'm just asking some basic questions. Don't you have so little confidence in your boyfriend?"

"Of course not, I just think mom is a little too anxious."

Ichinose Honami could sense that her boyfriend was not angry, and the tension in her heart gradually dissipated.

"It's okay. We have seven days anyway. I believe Auntie will get to know me slowly."

"I'm looking forward to it. Welcome to our home this time, Hashima-kun."

"It's my pleasure."

……

After finishing dinner and building Lego with Ichinose Miu, Ichinose Honami tidied the bed on the floor in the living room for her boyfriend.

Although the two of them had done everything, they naturally could not live together when visiting the house, after all, Ichinose Honami and her sister were in the same room.

"Just rest here today. You won't be unable to sleep, right?"

Ichinose Honami was a little worried.

"No, it's nice here."

Hikaru Hashima didn't really have much of an opinion about where to sleep. He looked at his girlfriend, who was hesitant to speak, and couldn't help but teasing her, "I'm just worried someone might attack me at night. That would be too troublesome."

"I won't do that!"

Ichinose Honami's pretty face turned red. Actually, she really wanted to sleep here with Hashima Hikaru, but thinking that her mother was still in the room next door, it was better for her to restrain herself.

"Well, that's good. Go back and rest."

"Ok."

After Ichinose Honami returned to the room, Hashima Hikaru picked up his phone and checked the school forum. He was waiting for the new month to arrive.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the number displayed on the phone jumped to zero, a new message prompt finally popped up in the system bar.

[A new month has arrived, and the items in the trading store have been refreshed. Please check.]
