Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 177 She Wins All, But Suddenly Loses
"Hmph, I'm not here to help, I'm just looking for a tool man, you narcissist!"

"Ah! I told you not to imitate me, I will kill you!"

The girl with blond hair and blue eyes was still giggling secretly when she saw someone who came back to help specially, but upon hearing this, she immediately pounced on her with all her teeth and claws, rolled up the sleeves of Kyosuke Hojo, and then gnawed on the little tiger teeth. the opponent's arm.

Judging from the conversation, the bickering between the two has been going on for quite some time.

"Bastard, relax your muscles, my teeth are going to fall out!"

"No, it's not that I want to bite."

"Ahhh, I'm so pissed off!" The girl jumped onto that nasty guy's back from behind, shaking her body vigorously, wondering if she was trying to knock him down and use herself as a meat pad.

That's the morning of Summer Comic Con, at the Spencer's house.

Sayuri Sawamura, who was checking her belongings, looked at her daughter and Kyosuke Hojo who were making a mess, and smiled until her eyes narrowed.

"Alright, Lily, Kyosuke-kun, let's go."

"Okay, Aunt Sayuri." Hojo Kyosuke, with a person hanging on his body, turned around effortlessly and agreed with a smile.

Until she got in the car, Ying Lili seemed to be still angry, sitting in a corner of the back row, with her arms folded in front of her, looking at someone angrily with her teeth bared.

Hmph, is this guy laughing at himself? Do you know that being arrogant is a very precious attribute, and paired with blond hair and double ponytails, it is simply a template for the girlfriend of your dreams, okay?

Hojo Kyosuke didn't speak either. The reason why a beautiful girl is a beautiful girl is that the other party is so pleasing to the eye even when she is angry.If he hadn't eaten a lot of breakfast, he even wanted to eat another big bowl of this beauty.

"Lily, do you want to put this water glass in the house?" Mr. Spencer said with some embarrassment after starting the car.

In the center armrest in the middle of the front row, there is a groove for placing a water bottle, and a glass filled with water is placed there.Even though it is already a very high-end car, the vibration when starting still almost makes the water in the water cup splash out

"No!" Ying Lili replied quickly. Well, she plans to drink every sip of water from this cup from today!
"But Dad, I can't drive like this." Mr. Spencer said with a bitter face.

"Really, Dad, can't you practice your driving skills?"

"I know this! Using inertia, let the water in the cup swirl continuously along the edge!" Kyosuke Hojo joined the discussion.

"Crap!"

Although she said unreasonable words, the girl still unbuckled her seat belt, leaned over, and carefully picked up the cup.First, she carefully tried it with her lips, and when she felt that the water temperature was right, she drank it in big gulps.

After drinking the water, Ying Lili didn't put the cup back on the center armrest, but just sat down with her arms around her, and the hand holding the bottom of the cup groped for the sunken characters inside, a character like her hair The shining "English" character is imprinted there.

A smile could not help showing on the small white porcelain face, but he quickly raised his head vigilantly to look at Kyosuke Hojo beside him and the parents in front of him, and quickly suppressed his smile.But soon he lowered his head again, looked at the cup, looked at the corners of his mouth, and raised his mouth again.

The Spencers looked at their daughter who was smiling contentedly from the rearview mirror, then looked at their daughter who was staring at Hojo Kyosuke, smiled at each other, and then started the car to Tokyo Big Sight in Koto District. That is the Tokyo Big Sight.

This time it is not a fan show for newcomers, but the largest fan show of Neon. The booths are arranged fairly according to the strength and achievements of the club.The booths located on both sides of the entrance like last time belong to the top clubs whose sales can reach tens of millions each time, and the other clubs are sorted in descending order.

Emerging clubs can only be allocated a small position among the countless booths in the wide exhibition hall, which look like office building cubicles. However, if there is even a small booth, it can be regarded as a small and powerful club. After all, every The number of associations registered for each CM is more than the number that can be undertaken, and it is necessary to purchase an application in advance and submit an application fee.

Except for the water bottles and other things they carried with them, the four of egoistic-lily didn't take anything else, because the doujinshi, posters and other things had been moved to the exhibition hall yesterday, and the corresponding arrangements were also done.

The sales task this time is not as difficult as last time, because Mr. Eri Kashiwagi already has a certain reputation after the last fan exhibition.People who will go to that kind of small fan exhibition must be senior otaku, Xia CM must be those who rush to the exhibition hall at the forefront.

In addition, Egoistic-lily usually puts some half-finished manuscripts on egoistic-lily's official website, and also preheated this event. Quite a few fans left messages that they will definitely buy "Love Metronome" this time notebook.

"So, this time, Kyosuke-kun, let's play with Lily in the exhibition hall, and teach me and Robin about the sales." Sayuri said with a smile.

"But, is it really okay to paint something like Eri Rika?" Hojo Kyosuke asked worriedly.

Aunt Sayuri told him just now that since this painting is an 18x work, he would not want to sell it.

However, Ying Lili, who had just tasted it last time, is really full of firepower this time.As someone who has read "Love Metronome" more than once, Hojo Kyosuke must admit that this is a good book!The original illustrator had to kneel down when she saw the Sayuka drawn by Ying Lili.

Hojo Kyosuke even felt that if the author named Kasumi Shiko could find Eri Riri as an illustrator at that time, her works might be sold out without her own recommendation.He can already be regarded as an insider, although otaku knowledge is still lacking, but he still knows what a good illustrator means to light novels.

Ying Lili's book not only perfectly shows Sayuka's character traits, but the key point is that she has a very high sexiness, the kind that is so high that she wants to buy it after reading it.

"It doesn't matter, it's just that minors can't sell 18x works, and there's no rule that they can't paint!" Ying Lili bared her little tiger teeth and said nonchalantly.

This time, Ying Lili was not fully armed, and she was wearing a simple white T-shirt on her upper body. Yes, it was the one she gave Hojo Kyosuke last time.

A head of blond hair is tied into a pair of ponytails, walking and shaking behind him, knocking on the little butt wrapped in jeans from time to time, which is really eye-catching. When a few people walked up the big stairs in front of the exhibition hall just now, those below The housekeepers were all dumbfounded.It is a look that sees fantasy reflected into reality.

"That's it!" Mr. Spencer, who was tidying up the booth, raised his head and smiled confidently.

The couple could consider that being a helper would have a bad influence on Hojo Kyosuke, but they didn't seem to have thought at all whether a diplomat doing such a thing would be recalled by the country behind him for questioning.But maybe I don't care if I think about it, after all, Kyosuke Hojo also learned some stories about Mr. Spencer in his daily relationship.

It is purely a family request that he become a diplomat. Compared with serving as a bureaucrat in the UK, it is obviously more in line with his rebellious character to go overseas where there is no restraint like Neon.And if he can be dismissed, he may wish for it. After all, Mr. Spencer himself will also be engaged in investment and other careers. He may be happier in his otaku life without professional constraints.

So those nerds are lucky enough to see a blond man holding an 18x doujinshi without any scruples and shouting loudly. I don’t know if they will run into this diplomat when they go to the embassy to apply for a visa in the future. .If you encounter them, I hope they will not just bring a notebook with them at that time, let alone rush forward to ask for an autograph.Hojo Kyosuke could understand how excited the people of Neon would be to see a diplomat selling 18x books, but that picture was too indecent just to think about it.

"Even if I'm found out, wouldn't it be fine for me to pretend to be the one who was deceived?" Although I knew from the memo that the last sale was a success, but this time they printed a full [-] copies of the doujinshi, Hojo Kyosuke was still a little confused. Worry.

"Huh? Who are you underestimating? Eri Kashiwagi's blog already has [-] followers! Selling this doujinshi is no problem at all!"

Looking at Hojo Kyosuke, who was still hesitant to help with the sale, the girl was grateful and a little funny.

Just leave things like selling to Dad. Your task is to go shopping with me.Really, this idiot, who did he think it was because of him to dress up so hard!It was hard for me to work up the courage to not pretend!
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and let's go shopping before anyone enters the venue!" Pulling the boy wearing the same T-shirt forcefully, pretending to take his arm casually, Eriri took Hojo Kyosuke Go to the entrance of the exhibition hall.

"This, I just want you to keep it for me. If you break it, I will never forgive you!" Even if you are a model for another [-] days, you can only forgive [-]% of it!
Just when she was about to look through the catalogs crowded at the booth of this club, Eiriri remembered that she was still holding an exclusive drinking glass in her other hand, she hesitated for a while, and stuffed it into Hojo Kyosuke's arms.

"Really, didn't I tell you to leave him at the booth?" Hojo Kyosuke said helplessly, took it and stuffed it into his pocket, and zipped it up.I reminded her when I got off the car, and reminded her when I left the booth, but I only got one sentence...

"Whispering!" At least for today, I will never let him out of my sight!
Eiriri held the program catalog with her free hand, and turned the pages with Hojo Kyosuke's hand.The two people wearing the same T-shirt and pants look like men and women living together in anime who go shopping in the supermarket together, looking at the leaflets and discussing the products to buy.

Ying Lili seemed to have thought of this too, but she just blushed slightly, and she held Hojo Kyosuke's hand tighter. There will be countless housewives coming to the venue later, only in this way can Kyosuke protect her be yourself.

"Hey, that's the Alice Club. The author of your favorite Rabbit Girl's fanbook is also here!"

Suddenly, Ying Lili pointed to a booth in the front left and shouted excitedly.

"Yes, yes, it's my favorite."

After being stunned for a minute, Hojo Kyosuke thought of what Eriri was talking about.Miyamizu Mitsuha has carefully organized all the things he bought back from the beginning to the present in a box, waiting to be handed over to each other when the two meet, including the cup he made this time.

Of course, he had also read the cartoon with the cute rabbit on the cover, but the backside was getting more and more wrong.I don't know why the upright and steady Miko lady in my memory likes this kind of thing.

"Let's go, let's go, his family has limited purchase posters this time!" Before Hojo Kyosuke considered whether to help Miyamizu Mitsuha support her favorite club again, Eriri pulled him and rushed over.

Neon people call the comic market in winter and summer holy wars. A large part of the reason is that the things sold by the club are limited, and there are even rare things that only sell a few.That's why there are people queuing up overnight, purchasing agents and so on.

It was the first time for Ying Lili to rush to the booth in the empty exhibition hall and go shopping happily. It was as if a switch in her body had been turned on, and her little face was flushed.

"Slow down, slow down."

"No, hurry up!" Ying Lili tugged someone hard.

Ying Lili has fully understood the arrogant heart of the guy next to him after the last comic exhibition. He obviously likes cute girl comics, but he is usually embarrassed.Really, so Tsundere is the most troublesome.

Thinking in this way, the girl led someone to rush to every booth famous for otome manga and games, and the big pocket that Mrs. Sayuri gave to Hojo Kyosuke before going out was slowly filled up.

"Hurry up." Eiriri's posture has changed from holding her hand to holding Hojo Kyosuke's hand and dragging him away in front.

The girl kept urging, with an unconcealable smile on her face, and the ponytail behind her was raised high as she ran.Shuttle between booths one after another, happy like a bird.

This fan exhibition is so fun.

Taking out the exact amount of change from the wallet and handing it to the boss, and then handing the goods to Hojo Kyosuke, Eriri let out a cry of happiness in her heart.Is it because you have become a creator?Or is it because I have no disguise?

Or, because of this guy?

Turning her head, looking at Hojo Kyosuke who was frowning and trying to stuff his already full pockets with distress, the girl suddenly wanted to pounce on him and kiss him hard on the face.

"No matter how I look at these things, they don't look like what you should see at your age, Yinglili."

Although he has put away everything well, looking at those doujinshi that have been painted with heavy lines to cover key parts, Hojo Kyosuke is still a little speechless.While the grading system is good, it is somewhat sloppy.Even Yinglili's doujinshi is the same. Although the plot and the overall color are very high, they did not go to the R18 exhibition area for sale.

Hmph, you idiot, if you want to get Yinglili's kiss, you still need to work harder!

Hearing this, he folded his hands in front of his body, snorted softly, turned his head, and flicked the golden twin ponytails.

After the two returned the booty to the exhibition booth and set off again with a new bag, the door of the exhibition hall finally opened. On that day, Hojo Kyosuke finally remembered being...

On that day, Kyosuke Hojo knew what jihad was. Looking at those otaku who rushed in with fanaticism and then rushed towards the booth with a clear goal, he had a rare thought of admiration.Even in the eyes of some unscrupulous authors, they are just consumer pigs, but at this moment their charging momentum made Hojo Kyosuke think of his lovely subordinates.

"It's spectacular."

"Idiot, there is no time to sigh, our battle is not over yet!"

This time, Ying Lili didn't lead Hojo Kyosuke to walk in front, but pushed his waist and walked tightly together.

Although I knew that this day would come sooner or later, I didn't expect it to be so soon...

Seeing his daughter going away, Mr. Spencer wanted to cry but had no tears.My head is full of memories of my daughter calling out to her father while squeezing herself into the crowd to go shopping when she was a child, and it’s gone!
Although very sad, under the supervision of his wife, he still had to cheer up and try to sell all his daughter's works!
When Hojo Kyosuke started the second round of purchases, behind a large booth at the entrance of the exhibition hall, a woman in a black lady's suit and a black bowler hat followed him and Eriri all the time.

Benizaka Akane, the founder of the popular club "rouge en rouge".This woman who spins webs like a spider never passively waits for her prey to come to her door like a spider. As long as there are newcomers worthy of attention in the market, she will cast her eyes from the cloud to see if the other party is worth catching.

Kashiwagi Eri, as the most popular new doujinshi creator from April to now, naturally entered her sight.And when she did an in-depth investigation, she found that the last time she helped Kashiwagi Eri sell doujinshi at the new doujin exhibition, it was Kyosuke Hojo, the author of "One Punch Man", who had already booked the best manga of the year.

As a person who always pays attention to the wind and grass in the industry, she easily connects the author of "One Punch Man" with the pen name EGOIST and the "egoistic-lily" club, which is just a favorite of young people.

EGOIST, the original author who provided the plot and storyboards, and Eri Kashiwagi, who was in charge of painting skills, and two middle school students easily created such a popular IP.

It's so interesting, people like this should let him, Benizaka Akane, help them develop their full potential!
But there is no hurry now, let them grow up...

Under the black top hat, the pair of red pupils shining with fierce light stared closely at the unconscious two people.

Although it is the largest fan exhibition of Neon, it actually does not charge admission fees.And as long as you avoid the first wave of crowds in the morning, the exhibition hall will not be so crowded after twelve noon.

At this time, it is also the best time for those who are not so fanatical about otaku culture and those who like to join in the fun to visit.

The white headband that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, the long black hair behind her looks smoother than the shampoo advertisement, the upper body is a silver MUJI sun protection clothing, and the lower body is a pair of black jeans. The whole person looks three-pointed Both are legs.

This kind of Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, as soon as he appeared at the entrance of the exhibition hall, became a black hole of sight. No matter the people queuing up or the people entering and leaving the door, they couldn't help but take a look and then take another look.

"It's so hot." Yinhong's small mouth exhaled hot air, and the girl raised her hand to unzip the zipper of her coat, but she noticed the eyes around her, and put her hand down silently.

Disgusting, so that's why she didn't wear skirts or shorts.

Raising the venue booklet in her hand and fanning it a few times, the girl took a few deep breaths and looked at the area number on the pillar beside the venue, then walked towards the target.

Knowing the existence of Kashiwagi Eri who has a close relationship with Hojo-kun, how could she not pay more attention to her personality, that is, she herself and Hojo-kun didn’t even really know each other, and she didn’t have any position, otherwise she might have directly confronted Kashiwagi Eri duel.

However, she also devoted part of her energy to the official website of egoistic-lily, and she naturally knew that Eri Kashiwagi planned to draw a doujinshi of her own novel.

So, is this a provocation?At that time, this thought came to the girl's mind.She knew this was impossible, after all, the other party didn't even know who she was, but the girl still regarded this as the other party's declaration of war.Lost to me in appearance so you want to win back in talent?
Imagination is beautiful, but unfortunately it is impossible. Whether it is talent or appearance, I am the most suitable person for Hojo-kun.Girls have never been afraid to regard the appearance and talents bestowed by their parents as their own advantages, which just shows that they have gathered the excellent genes of their parents.From ancient times to the present, no matter in the natural world or in human society, excellent individuals always have more choices, but they will eventually find a matching and equally excellent individual.

Elementary school students like Kashiwagi Eri may find it difficult to even raise their offspring by themselves.

There was a slight smile on the corner of the girl's mouth, and she was about to walk through the area where cosplayers were gathered, when her footsteps suddenly stopped.

That is?

A girl with conspicuous blond hair was sitting on the most ordinary pony who was not used to it. At the moment, she was raising her head and said something to the boy next to her. Then the boy walked towards the vending machine on the side.

Eri Kashiwagi?Why did she come without a disguise this time?Isn't she a hidden house?However, she dared to ask Hojo-kun to help her buy things, which is really unforgivable.

Jealousy and envy appeared in her mind at the same time, adhering to the idea that knowing the enemy is to increase the odds of winning, the girl with black hair and red eyes tried hard to hide her figure and quietly approached, because the one that Eri Kashiwagi raised both hands The cup made her very concerned.

It is said to be hidden, but it does not mention that beautiful face. With such long legs and beautiful breasts, she is the focus of the crowd no matter where she goes. If she doesn't look like an otaku, maybe there are people I'm going to come together for a photo.

Fortunately, the idiot sitting on the chair seemed to only have the glass in his hand in his eyes, and he didn't notice the movement around him at all.

"It's so beautiful~" Although she was too tired to walk after a fierce battle, Ying Lili still held up the cup that Kyosuke gave her, admiring it with a satisfied face.

At the same time, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who had already walked behind the blond idiot, also clearly saw the word "English" at the bottom of the cup.

This, is this a cup made by Hojo-kun himself?

The girl who figured this out for a moment staggered a few steps back uncontrollably.He raised his slender and well-proportioned little hand to cover his mouth, so as not to let that unwilling whimper come out.

Looking at the satisfaction in Eri Kashiwagi's blue eyes and the smirk on her face, the girl who had won everything from her figure to her talent found that she had actually lost in such an inexplicable place.

The word "Xia" in "Xiazhiqiu Shiyu" should be written on the bottom of that cup!For the color, black is fine, and gold is ugly, just like Eri Kashiwagi's blond hair.

The girl's wine-red pupils were full of disbelief, that this guy with blond hair, who is a standard loser, actually got such a gift that was full of Hojo-kun's heart.

Unbelievable, unacceptable!This is an illusion, it is impossible for Hojo-kun to like this kind of person!

From the corner of the eye, I saw Kyosuke Hojo walking towards this side after buying water, and Kasumigaoka Shiwa, who knew that he should not appear in this place but should hide, silently walked behind the pillar beside him sadly.

"Hiss, it's so cold!" Ying Lili, who was still indulging in the beauty of the glass in her hand, was startled by the sudden coldness on her face.

"Idiot, you scared me to death!" Ying Lili protested loudly, raising her hand to take the ice coke.Then he sandwiched the glass between his legs, pulled the Coke tab and poured it into the glass.

"I gave you the cup to let you drink more hot milk, but I didn't want you to drink iced cola." Hojo Kyosuke, who was also holding a can of iced cola, said angrily.

"Whispering, you should drink iced Coke in this weather!" Ying Lili raised the glass full of Coke and raised it again.

Even so, it looks good!Whether it is filled with milk or cola, it seems that the deliciousness can be increased by 3 lv!
The girl put the cup to her mouth beautifully and drank it in big gulps.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu behind the pillar felt a little relieved after hearing this series of conversations. It's okay, it's not a token of love, it's just that Hojo-kun saw that the elementary school student was too malnourished and cared about the other's growth.

Thinking of this, the girl walked towards the booth of the egoistic-lily society from another direction.She wants to see what kind of self-confidence Kashiwagi Eri has, and dares to draw a doujinshi of his own work.

The entanglement between doujinshi and the original work is hard to tell. Neon also had the original author sue the writer who sold 18x doujinshi, but in the end, the original author lost the lawsuit because he considered it from the perspective of commercial creation, or because it was written one by one. Judges who have read doujinshi carefully are overwhelmed by doujinshi authors.The reasons in the middle will not be repeated here.

In short, whether a work is popular or not can be seen from the number of fan creations.

It may be because the second volume of her novel has just been released. Along the way, Kasumigaoka Shiwa also saw many stalls selling her own works and doujinshi. With the idea of ​​​​comparing with Kashiwagi Eri’s works later, she is also in the Bought a copy and read it casually.

Resisting the urge to take out her wallet and buy all the doujinshi on the booth that seemed to be insulting her work and throw them into the trash can, the girl took a deep breath and told herself, be graceful.Regardless of what I know or what I saw in Hojo-kun's support team, Hojo-kun is a person who pays attention to etiquette. If he wants to win this battle, he must pay attention to every detail!
Inferior goods

Either the style of painting is distorted to the point where you can’t recognize the prototype with Sayuka’s name on it, or it doesn’t fit Sayuka’s personality at all from speaking to doing things...

However, if Kashiwagi Eri's works are also like this, then her threat can be completely ruled out.

Perhaps it was those people who had no passion but no talent gave the girl some confidence and made her look forward to seeing Eri Kashiwagi's works.

Because of the addition of a colored cover, the price of the book simply named "Sayuka" was increased by [-] yen this time.

Kasumigaoka Shiwa took out [-] yen from her wallet and handed it to the woman who knew at a glance that it was Eri Kashiwagi's mother, and then left with the notebook.

Then, let me see what you can do, Eri Kashiwagi.

First of all, there is the coloring page on the cover. Even if you are not a professional, Kasumigaoka can tell that Eri Kashiwagi's painting skills are still superb, and it looks no different from the one drawn by his illustrator.

After opening

Oh?Isn't it a traditional fan to repair the plot or the original work?Just a few doujinshis that Kasumigaoka just read, some of them were from the protagonist who fell from the sky suddenly, and somehow fell in love with Sayuka, and some of them were Sayuka who gave up her self-pursuit and stayed with Naoto. In short, they all completely deviated from their own novels original intention.

However, Eri Kashiwagi's book is actually a re-creation after a deep understanding of her own novel. Sayuka is still chasing her goal, but Naoto, who was not bright in the first part of her doujinshi, also made efforts and became a novel. A person who is enough to match Sayuka, the two lived a life without shame or impatience.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Kasumigaoka Shiwa always feels that he can see Hojo-kun's shadow on that straight man's face.

At the same time, the girl had the same idea as Kyosuke Hojo, "If Eri Kashiwagi was to be my illustrator, sales could increase a bit, right?" Once this thought came up, she couldn't restrain it, and she even I want to take out my mobile phone and call Ms. Machida to discuss this matter.

In the end, it was the girl's competitive spirit that stopped her. In this case, even if her grades skyrocketed, wouldn't it also prove Kashiwagi Eri's ability?

Although, although the doujinshi in her hand has already made the girl fully understand the strength of the blond primary school student.Moreover, the girl admitted that she was a little shocked by this doujinshi.

Sayuka painted by Eri Kashiwagi is even more beautiful than I imagined.The stubborn and gloomy eyebrows, the coquettish and seductive look on the bed, each point is what she wants to present in her novels.And although the plot in the doujinshi is short, it is actually the final development direction of her novel!
That's right, when the second volume was rewritten last time, the idea that sprouted in the girl's heart was to use this novel, "Love Metronome" to express her gratitude and vague admiration for Hojo-kun.

Before, the girl knew clearly that she was a competitive woman, and she didn't think that anyone in this world could completely conquer herself, just like Sayuka, even if she was a straight person who liked each other, once he became an obstacle on her way to become stronger , then Sayuka will still give up on him without hesitation and choose to pursue her own goals.

However, when encountering the biggest Waterloo in her life, the girl met the man who was so strong that he seemed to be perfect, Kyosuke Hojo.

Both appearance and study are impeccable. Even after coming to the creator's field, the achievements he has achieved are brilliant.

Isn't such a man specially prepared by God for him! ?
Leaving aside the matter in her heart about Eri Kashiwagi, the girl began to think about whether the second volume, which will be printed with 10 copies for the first time and will definitely be printed later, is already qualified to meet Hojo-kun formally.

Just like Eriri said at the beginning, Mr. Kashiwagi Eri's strength is unrivaled. At noon the next day, two thousand volumes of doujinshi had been sold out, another big victory, not disappointing Sayuri who has been wearing the winning kimono Mrs.

The reputation of the egoistic-lily club has gone one step further. If it was a new club before, it is now a well-known club.There are already a large number of people on the club's official website and Mr. Eri Kashiwagi's blog urging to release the next work as soon as possible.

Soon after the summer fanfic it's time to start school

On September [-]st, Hojo Kyosuke stepped into the long-lost Dongcheng Middle School.

For him, school has just started, but regardless of whether it is the seniors in the middle school or the third grade in the high school, they have already returned to school early to participate in special tutoring lectures, which is the treatment only available in private schools for further education.If it is a happy public school, if the student's goal is to take an exam, they have to find a private school outside.

Even Maki Kyosuke, who will not be promoted to senior three in half a year, and Onizuka and others have explained in the last semester that the activities of the Kendo Club will be reduced in the future. The difference is that Maki Kyosuke is preparing for Tokyo University. Onizuka and others are trying to improve by a minute or two, so that they can find a better university when they make special recommendations in the future.

In August, Tokyo still maintained a high temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, but as soon as September entered, it quickly dropped to around 24 degrees Celsius, which was quite comfortable, but that was when it was not raining.

Under the influence of the heat island effect, Tokyo often experiences rainfall of more than 1 millimeters per hour in a small area. This kind of rainfall often has no warning and stops quickly.If you are shopping, you can choose places like coffee shops to shelter from the rain, but now.

Beside Kyosuke Hojo, there was a large group of students rushing towards the teaching building with their schoolbags on their heads, while he was walking leisurely in the rain with a black oil-paper umbrella.

The umbrella was given to him by Yingliang, and she made it herself in Kyoto.

"Well, in fact, only the pattern was drawn by myself." That's what Sakura said.

But Hojo Kyosuke learned more details from Aunt Yamauchi, and Sakura also tried to make an umbrella from scratch, but gave up under the plea of ​​the umbrella maker.Aunt Yamauchi also showed Hojo Kyosuke a photo of Sakura's small hands with countless small wounds drawn by bamboo. Finally, Sakura was able to choose a favorite umbrella rib and draw a pattern on it.

This is a fan umbrella, that is, ばんがさ.It is a kind of umbrella that is not fancy, big and heavy. The Daikokuya in Osaka first affixed the mark of Daikokuten and became the "Dakoroban Umbrella". Since then, the umbrella with the seal and seal has become Fan umbrella.

Yingliang named this umbrella "Sakura", the bamboo ribs are black or have been specially crafted, from the 54 cm long umbrella handle to the [-] ribs on it are all pitch black .

The overall surface of the umbrella is black, with only dots of cherry blossoms scattered on it. As long as you hold it, it seems to be walking in the blowing snow of cherry blossoms all the time.

Just like Kyosuke Hojo at this time, wearing a dark school uniform, walking on the avenue leading to the teaching building, he looks like the one in the movie who came to kick the school in the chilling autumn.

Autumn rain, falling cherry blossoms, dressed in black, perfectly fit the "wabi-sabi" in neon aesthetics.

There is a seal at the lower end of the umbrella handle, which says "good".

"But this umbrella bag is definitely made by me!" Sakura, who was talking, showed Hojo Kyosuke's little hands full of needles without hesitation. It has already passed a holiday, and there are still subtle marks when I touch it.

In addition to the heartache, Kyosuke Hojo was also deeply speechless. The umbrella bags that Sakura took out triumphantly were red cloth bags with Bodhidharma drawn one by one, and a bag that could be carried behind her back was added.

"What! There is also a waterproof design inside, so you can take it with you wherever you go, so you won't lose it!" Ying Liangqi puffed up his small face and said with a stick on his waist Come up with your own unique idea.

You must know that stealing umbrellas is very rampant in neon, but it is not right to say that they are stealing umbrellas, because everyone uses the same cheap transparent umbrellas bought from convenience stores. Just leave.

But obviously Sakura was very worried that the umbrella he carefully prepared for Kyosuke would be stolen, so he came up with this genius idea.

"Who would walk around with an umbrella on his back every day when he has nothing to do? Am I a two-sword style?" Hojo Kyosuke, who had the habit of running around with a bamboo sword on his back, complained.

"It doesn't matter, if you get caught in the rain, you'll catch a cold, and if you're not careful, you'll die!" Master Yingliang delivered the final verdict:
"You must protect her well!"

The girl solemnly handed the umbrella to him with both hands.

"Yes." Hojo Kyosuke smiled helplessly, and hung the umbrella behind his back on the spot.

"Besides, the master who taught me how to make umbrellas is still a Chinese. They obviously use Chinese craftsmanship, but they pretend to be some unique school. Last year, they were almost rated as living national treasures."

When talking about this Sakura, I couldn't stop laughing. After she scrapped several semi-finished products of the old master, the old master said something that was not in neon language. If she didn't get along with Hojo Kyosuke every day, she would have almost missed it. .

After some questioning, the old master admitted the origin, but he was afraid of being excluded, so he gave himself such a name.Don't tell me, although the craftsmanship is very different from the local ones in Kyoto, once it is said that it is an ancient genre, it immediately became a famous umbrella maker in Kyoto.

"If it weren't for Sakura-sama's invincibility and cuteness, Kyosuke wouldn't have such a beautiful umbrella!" In fact, it happened that the family had a relationship, so the teacher agreed to teach her how to make an umbrella.

On this autumn day, Sakura Yamauchi received a glass that can drink hot water, and Kyosuke Hojo received an oiled paper umbrella that can protect from the rain.
