Chapter 98
It was a beautiful spring holiday, but she could only stay at home. Hongzi Yoshikawa's first day of Golden Week was long and boring.

Dad’s waist was sprained while walking the dog, and he hasn’t fully healed yet, so the planned family trip had to be cancelled;

And her married sister, Qingzi, did not come back. According to what she said when she left home last time, it seems that this Golden Week is going to Hokkaido with her brother-in-law.

Lying on the sofa, Hongzi watched TV almost all day long.

The parents sitting on the left and right talked about TV programs, and the rest of the topic was daydreaming about the travel of Aoko and his wife in Hokkaido.

Mom: "This summer, let's go to Hokkaido for a few days. Going to the beach will make you tired."

Dad: "Okay. Do you want to bring Hongzi?"

Mom: "Should Hongzi go out with her friends?"

Dad: "Didn't she stay at home all the time today? Obviously it's Golden Week."

"..."

Hongzi also wants to go out with friends.

Today there is a friendship between the gardening department and the football department, and it seems to be going somewhere in Kyoto.But she wasn't interested, so she didn't agree from the beginning;
And the ones who were interested——Soya and Kirino Akane, were going to receive relatives who came from afar at home today, and she was inconvenient to go and disturb them.

In the end, she could only stay at home, watch TV, and face the intentional or unintentional teasing of her parents.

Time flies slowly, after all, it is flowing.

The sunlight outside the window changed direction and shone into the room. The Shiba Inu Alps jumped over from nowhere, circled the sofa, and kept wagging his tail.

"I'm going to walk the dog."

Quiet and thinking about moving, Hongzi changed clothes and went out, but bumped into her sister dragging a suitcase at the door.

"Hongzi, I'm back."

"Hey, sister..."

The sister said that her brother-in-law was "dead" and told her to walk the dog carefully and not go too far.

Hongzi didn't care, the Yoshikawa family had a fixed route for walking their dog, how far could she go... Was it that far from Kirino's old house?
"……I'm leaving."

"Go."

Qingzi left the last sentence, dragged the suitcase into the house.

After hearing the familiar "Mom—Mom—", Hongzi pulled the dog leash and set off leading Alpine.

I walked around the familiar road twice, and it was gradually sinking down, but the Shiba Inu in my hand was still tireless.

"Alps, let's go back."

Yoshikawa passed by the house again, but Alps was still unwilling to follow her into the yard, which made her a little helpless.

A little toughness can make the Shiba Inu obey, but she didn't choose that way, but followed the strength of the rope and moved forward again.

"Hongzi and Alps have returned... huh?"

She turned her head, and her sister was standing at the door, her expression gradually becoming surprised.

"Come back after another round of shopping!"

"It's time to eat!"

"Know it!"

Alps pulled in front and dragged Yoshikawa to the intersection again.

On the right is the road that has been detoured twice, and on the left is the trail that the Alps have never stepped on.

As usual, it tried to explore unfamiliar territory, and this time it was not held back.

It has arrived!

"Wang Wang!"

Alps immediately raised his head and barked twice, turned around and wagged his tail happily.

Yoshikawa pulled the rope, raised his gaze, and looked towards the end of the path.

Turn around, go to the end, turn again, go to the end again, and turn another turn is Kirino Old House.

"Just passing by... the Alps!"

The Shiba Inu suddenly started to run, and the dog leash stretched instantly, pulling her along.

Being moved, Yoshikawa also started to run.

"It's really impossible!"

Passing through the quiet alley, the afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the road on the other side of the corner, brilliant and dazzling.

Alps never tires when he runs, and she follows and runs vigorously.It wasn't until turning the third turn that Yoshikawa stopped suddenly.

You can deceive yourself and others on the small road without people, but it will be different if you go forward.

"..."

Yoshikawa calmed his breath and touched the short hair next to his ear.

Fortunately, the hair is not messed up.

Just passing by.

Alps could move on again, with a joyous cry.

"Wang Wang!"

"Alps! Hush!"

Fortunately, it only barked once.

Yoshikawa controlled the Shiba Inu's forward speed, walked slowly along the wooden fence, and could already see the black roof of Kirino's old house.

When the spring breeze blows, the trees in the yard grow green leaves, blocking the view.She probably wanted to see something, her eyes were brighter than the sun, but she couldn't pass through the branches and leaves as accurately as the sun.

walking.

walk forward.

Until the wall suddenly broke—she came to the gate of the courtyard.

The trees on both sides were blocked by the aisle, and the eyes were empty.In the room with the best view on the second floor, Soya was leaning sideways by the window, holding a book in his hand.

The setting sun slanted.

It's time to go back, Yoshikawa thought.

"..."

As if sensing something, he suddenly looked over.

Four eyes facing each other.

After a brief moment of surprise, he smiled, and his mouth moved accordingly.

"Yoshikawa is here."

"Eh?"

Kirino Akane was wandering in front of Kirin's bookshelf, and looked back at Soya by the window.

"what?"

He looked out the window, his eyes shining in the sunset.

"Yoshikawa came with a dog."

In Soya's opinion, the biggest difference between walking a dog and walking is that it is not very interesting to have an extra restless animal in his hand.

But if it is compared with sitting in a room or listening to adults chatting about family affairs, it is another matter.

"You came at a good time."

"..."

Yoshikawa looked at Soya who was squatting on the ground and stroking Alps back and forth, and for a moment didn't know who he was talking to.

Akane Kirino leaned on her knees with her hands and bent over to look at Shiba Inu.

"It turns out that Hongzi will also come here to walk the dog."

"Well... Occasionally..."

Just this time.

"Did you just start walking the dog?" Akane Kirino asked looking up.

Yoshikawa looked at Alps who kept wagging his tail, and nodded slowly.

"Just started."

"That's great~"

Akane Kirino straightened up, "Soya and I will go with Hongzi too."

"Okay."

Yoshikawa smiled, and then looked at the room behind her, "But, is it okay for Akane's relatives?"

"It's okay~"

"Go and say hello." Soya also stood up, and took the dog leash from Yoshikawa, "Anyway, I'll be back soon."

"Uh-huh."

I don't know what I saw, Alps suddenly got excited, and pulled him outside.

"Ah wait for me!"

Akane Kirino hurriedly yelled, and walked back, only to meet Keiko Kirino as soon as she entered the entrance.

"When did you go outside... Forget it, never mind, I'm going to help Dad prepare dinner, and Qian will go to the living room to accompany Uncle and Aunt."

"Hey, I'm going to walk the dog..."

Kirino's family didn't have a dog, so Keiko Kirino couldn't see outside, but she also heard a few dogs barking vaguely, thinking it was her daughter's friend who came to ask her for a walk with the dog.

"Let's go next time."

She raised her hand to straighten her hair, "And it's almost time for dinner, uncle and aunt are still waiting. Don't be willful."

"……All right."

Mother's fate was hard to break, Kirino Akane suddenly stopped.

"Eh?"

Hearing that she couldn't go, Yoshikawa and Soya who were waiting outside were stunned.

She touched Shiba Inu's head, then smiled at them, "Next time."

"Hongzi come here early tomorrow, so I can go for a walk with the dog with you."

After all, there are guests at home, and Yoshikawa also understands that Akane Kirino has nothing to do - because of this, she didn't come during the day.

"Ok."

Watching the two walk away with the dog, Akane Kirino stretched her waist, turned and went back home.

After sitting in the living room for a while, Kirino Keiko asked her to go to the kitchen to help with a small matter.

"Ah, forget it, let Soya come."

"Soya? He's out."

"Where did you go?"

"Walking the dog."

Kirino Keiko was startled, and asked back, "Sogu and Akane's friend went for a walk with the dog?"

"Hmm." Akane Kirino stirred the egg liquid in the bowl, "It's Hongzi."

"..."

Kirino Keiko was extremely remorseful immediately, and took the bowl in her hand again.

"Don't bother, go find them."

Akane Kirino glanced at her mother, a little puzzled by her repetition, and complained slightly in her tone.

"What are you looking for? They don't know where they went."
