Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 240
"Speaking of which, thanks to Kei's explanation, I now know who Hojo Kyosuke is. It's really scary, there are so many titles at such a young age."

"Hmm~"

Kato Megumi turned on the hands-free, and switched the phone interface to the chat room.

"Kyosuke Hojo!?" - Keiichi Kato
"Is it the author of "One Punch Man", "Attack on Titan", "The Devotion of Suspect X", "Sword Art Online", that Kyosuke Hojo who won the middle school kendo competition for two consecutive times!?"

"Xiaohui, where did you meet him? He shouldn't be in the same school as you. Have you asked him for an autograph? Ahhh, why didn't I meet him? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't be going to school today."

"..."

Brother Keiichi, you are still a big fan, just like those groupies.

Kato Megumi laughed softly.

"Hui, have you seen the message from Xiaogui?"

"Yes~~"

"Quickly tell me how you met that famous person. Your brother-in-law is also very curious and wants you to help find Hojo-san to sign his name."

Well……

Listening to the voice coming from the phone, Megumi Kato rested his chin on the pillow, half of his face sank into the soft pillow.

Sure enough, you are still getting carried away, Megumi, your practice is still not at home.It is rare that such an emotional outburst has triggered so many chain reactions, and I will have to think of an excuse to deal with Brother Guiyi later, no, it's not an excuse, it's a proposition.

With wild thoughts in his head, Kato Keisun said: "It's just~ very ordinary, I met him at the school gate."

"Then you went up to strike up a conversation?!
benefit! !Sister, I am so touched, you have finally grown up! "My sister shouted exaggeratedly.

"Huh? That...so why can't I be the one being approached~~" Only when talking to her sister, Megumi Kato would not hide her emotions as a girl.

"Hey! Come on and talk about it carefully."

"Let me think about it~~ In fact, Hojo-san came to find two other girls from our school."

"Oh, let me tell you, it turned out that I hit on you casually when I was bored. You really deserve to be a writer of Neon, and it perfectly fits my imagination of them."

"I still have something to do, hang up first~~"

Kato Megumi said, and hung up the phone without any pause.Really, my sister has completely lost the appearance of the sisters of the Kato family since she got married, and her words have become so rude.

Eri Sawamura, Kasumigaoka Shiwa-senpai, and the two beautiful girls from Junlin Toyosaki, of course I know that Hojo-san is here to find them.

One is the trump card of the art department. In the first year of entering the school, he was shortlisted for the art genius of the Young Artist Award held by the Neon Art Association in Tokyo.One is the talented girl who has been the first in age since the first grade, and can be directly submitted to Hitotsubashi University in the second half of the year.

For a celebrity like Hojo-san, it's only natural that the friends around him should be at such a level.Even if she is invited to a reception by the royal family, she will not be surprised.

However, he just called his own name, and the cake he ate at night was also his treat.

The music sounded, it was a new song by Yuina Miyamoto, the most popular singer among young girls.

"Moshi moxi~~~"

"Hui, it is absolutely unacceptable to hang up the other party's phone casually like this. It will be even worse if the other party is a boy."

"It's not casual, it's really something~~ And didn't I answer the phone later? As a girl, such behavior should be in line with etiquette."

Kato Megumi replied to Yamauchi Sakura's message while talking about his own ideas.This is also learned from my sister, to take every date seriously, not only to dress and make up well, but also to be 3 minutes late.

Neither more nor less, too much will be rude, and less will be ineffective.

After arriving at the scene, you can choose to respond according to the boy's reaction. Generally speaking, if it is only 3 minutes, the other party will not be unhappy, but if it is a more serious object, immediately say "Sorry, I am late.".

It's a pity that, just like implementing the "deeply hidden" sense of existence to the extreme, these skills learned from my sister have no chance to be used in these 17 years of life.Even when going out to play with the children of relatives, the mother would urge her even more than half a day before the appointed time.

"That's not okay. Even if it's a boring strike-up, it's rare for someone to notice you, so cherish it."

Yoshinaga Hiromi said that no one knows her sister's weak sense of existence better than her own sister.It can be said that the magic of the real world.

"Yeah~ I'm at home, just ask Hojo-san to send me a message when he arrives, it's really troublesome for you."

Edited the information and sent it to Sakura Yamauchi.

Just like what my sister said, even if the contact information has been exchanged, Megumi Kato is not too sure about tomorrow's date.

The so-called no expectation means no disappointment, as long as she does not show too much expectation for the appointment, the other party will not feel too guilty for forgetting the date, and she will not be too embarrassed.Taking it a step further, as long as you don't expect it from the bottom of your heart, you won't be sad after being missed.

"Things will not be remembered in the past", this is also a way of practicing her life creed, calm.

But I didn't expect that Yingliang, who had promised to go on a date after school tomorrow, would actually send me comics and novels tonight.

A feeling of being valued like never before.

"Hahaha, it was Kyosuke who reminded me. I completely forgot about Kato-senpai when I got home. I'm really sorry." ——Sakura Yamauchi

Uh... oh~~ Soga (そうか), like in a coffee shop, although very enthusiastic, but Yamauchi-san is still...

However, the feeling of being valued has increased.

Hojo-san didn't say much in the coffee shop, although what he said seemed to see through his own heart, but he always felt a little difficult to get close to. Unexpectedly, he still remembered himself when Yamauchi-san had forgotten him.

It's really... um~~ I'm a little happy~~
"Hui?" My sister called out in doubt.

"So, don't talk like I'm some temporary food that no one wants. When you see someone passing by, you can't wait to put a 0.5% off red label on it and give it away."

I can't express the happiness in my heart, otherwise my sister will definitely laugh more happily, and then the next city can really hear it.

"Oh, Hui, something is wrong with you!"

Yoshinaga Hiromi keenly sensed something wrong with her sister's tone, if she used to say something like this, she would just say "Yes, yes, yes, I understand" quite perfunctorily.It's not like this kind of angry protest and expression of dissatisfaction.

Although they were all cheap skin care products bought in drugstores, Megumi Kato's face became more hydrated and lovely after taking good care of it. At this moment, there was a shy blush, which was unparalleled for a while.

"It's just a very ordinary acquaintance, exchanging contact information..."

dong dong——

"Xiaohui, Guiyi said your phone is busy, he seems to have something urgent." Mother's voice came from outside the door.

"...Ah, it's my mother's voice, I miss it so much."

After a few seconds, Yoshinaga Hiromi said on the phone, guessing that his mother had gone far away.

"Didn't you come back during the Chinese New Year? And you only got married in June last year. If you want to say this, you should wait for more than five years of marriage, and you have a conflict with your husband before crying and hugging your mother's waist." ?”

"Nice heart, Xiaohui. I don't know how good the relationship between Wentai and I is. It will take at least seven years for such a thing to happen." Saying this, Yoshinaga Hiromi giggled.

Kato Megumi also smiled softly, and then switched to the chat interface of her cousin. There was still a lot of information, and she knew that she was asking about classmate Hojo without looking at it. She thought about it and pressed the screen.

"Hojo-san will come to my house later, if Keiichi-san wants it, I can help you get an autograph."

After editing, click Send.

The other side couldn't react in time, and sent a message, and then immediately sent three exclamation marks over, swiping the screen to continue:

"Come to your house? Xiaohui, are you kidding, how could you know someone like Hojo-san!?"

"Don't be kidding, where did you attend the signing event today, why is there no information on the Internet, tell me quickly, I will go tomorrow too."

"Xiaohui..."

Ah~~ That's why I don't like talking to Keiichi-san, or I don't like talking to the men of the Kato family.Obviously, my sister and other sisters are already begging me for autographs and the like, or asking if I can introduce them to each other.

But in Keiichi's eyes, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary self to get to know a celebrity like Hojo-san.

But it is also true that after school, doing hygiene, going home to watch unnutritious soap operas, sleeping, going to school... This kind of ordinary life is in line with my own life.

But that voice happened to appear.

"Kato Megumi."

The standard pronunciation is so clear that even the NHK announcers can't match, it sounds very beautiful, and the pleasant voice comes from Hojo's mouth.

My mediocre self met him once a week on a Tuesday, at the door where no one had called me even though I had been in and out countless times.

He, who had never seen him before, recognized himself, called out his name, and even remembered things related to himself after returning home.

A girl in adolescence has many rosy fantasies about the future, but such a development never appeared in her mind even for a second.It's frustrating to say that such a romantic encounter can't even be imagined by an ordinary girl like her.

But~~~that's what happened.

"Do you want to sign it or not?" sent.

Yamauchi-san said that the book she lent to her is her rare edition, and she will send it to Keiichi to have a look at that time.

"Yes, yes! If you dare to trick me, I will tell my uncle." - Keiichi Kato
Uh... I'm so troublesome, I wouldn't have said this if I knew about it.This is the consequence of not following the principles, Megumi Kato.

The girl felt a little annoyed, but fortunately she was a girl who couldn't leave too many traces in her heart, so she was just a little annoyed.

Originally, I just wanted to show off, but I didn't expect my cousin's reaction to be so big.The sisters of the Kato family are all very sensible, while the boys seem to be spoiled, and even complaints will happen.When my sister and brother-in-law were still dating, they were discovered by Big Mouth several times and spread the word.

"Sister Kato, here I am. Is it the third one from the west alley of the Disaster Prevention Plaza?" ——Kyosuke Kitajo

"Well~, yes, I'll be right out after a while." He replied quickly.

Oops, how did Hojo come here so fast!Throwing the phone on the bed, Megumi Kato opened the door, ran to the window in the corridor outside with bare feet and looked down.

At the corner of my yard, under the yellow light of street lights on the street, a dark motorcycle was parked there. The boy on the motorcycle is Hojo Kyosuke.

Unlike when he was wearing the black school uniform during the day, he changed into gray cotton trousers and a white sweater on his upper body.It looks a bit out of place with the black motorcycle under his buttocks, but it is full of life.

He lowered his head, not knowing what he was looking at, and did not take out his mobile phone to pass the time like ordinary young people.

Now Kato Megumi knew why Hojo Kyosuke came so fast, it seemed that he rushed here without even having time to change his clothes.

Because she is often forgotten by people, in many group activities, everyone will think of herself when the counting of the number of people is about to start, so most of the time she is the one who rushes there.

Like now, someone came to me in such a hurry, it seems to be the first time in my life~
"Xiaohui? What are you doing? Keiichi's kid is still calling, and I can't even watch TV properly." Mother came upstairs again.

"Got it, got it." Repeated in a low voice perfunctory, Kato Megumi ran into the room, picked up a coat and put it on, and ran downstairs past his mother.

"Xiaohui, what are you going to do?"

"A friend came to see me."

Although the act of running down the stairs in a hurry was really inconsistent with her usual ideas, the girl couldn't even wait for a change of clothes at this moment, and she didn't want to abide by the 3-minute rule.

Also questioning was the mobile phone that was left on the bed.

"Hui? Hui? What are you doing? If you don't talk anymore, I'll hang up..."

"I kept you waiting, Hojo-san."

Although it was only a few short steps, Kato Megumi who hurried over was still panting slightly.

"Yeah." Hojo Kyosuke shook his head: "I should say sorry for interrupting me so late. And it's been less than 2 minutes since I sent the message. Thanks for your hard work, Kato-senpai."

"Hmm~~ No... It was Sakura-san who lent me precious manga and novels, and Hojo-san you sent them here in the middle of the night, no matter how you look at it, I should say thank you."

Kato Megumi folded his hands in front of him and bowed slightly.

Under the dim street lights, the girl in a white nightdress with lace trim, a red coat, and white flat shoes was slim and charming.

Hojo Kyosuke didn't expect that just by changing a piece of clothes, the image of the girl who would disappear when mixed into the crowd before would become so plump.

In the past, when I saw Eirari and Shiwa-senpai, I thought Toyonosaki's school uniforms were so pretty, and they looked like custom-made high-end clothes.Unexpectedly, putting it on Kato Megumi is like Superman's glasses, sealing her traits away.

"Hojo-san?" Megumi Kato looked down at the nightdress on her body, with an imperceptible blush on her face:

"Sorry~ I was in a hurry to get down, so I ran out in my pajamas..."

"Huh? It's very beautiful. It doesn't look like pajamas at all. I thought Kato-senpai just came back from outside."

pretty?

Kato Megumi chewed these two words carefully, and there seemed to be a flash of color in his black eyes.

"Sawamura-san and the others are beautiful~~ I'm just an ordinary person." Don't take other people's casual flattery seriously, Megumi.

Yingli pear...

Eirari and Kasumigaoka-senpai are both the kind of "trouble-saving" characters that the original artist dreams of, who will go out in school uniform even on rest days.

If it is another student, it can be understood that the school uniform bought at a high price will not be worn for a long time, so it is hard to wear it.But those two people were simply too lazy to change.Ying Lili has now become Zhihua's toy, just like Glass, and the future fashion designer will help them match the clothes they both go out with.

Shiyu-senpai, um, no matter what you wear, as long as you pair it with black stockings, your sense of fashion will immediately rise a hundred notches.

As for being at home, don't mention it, one is wearing children's pajamas, and the other seems to be unable to afford pajamas.

"Hehe, at least Kato-san looks pretty to me."

No, why did it start again, you can't become the person Shiyu-senpai said that she would get angry when she saw a girl, you are here to give something!

Looking at the other party's white and tender calves under the hem of the skirt, and the arms whose fluff is clearly visible under the yellow light, the girl is so beautiful that everyone who sees it will yearn for it.

But Hojo Kyosuke is a well-trained fighter, and he would never release his charm unscrupulously when he shouldn't discharge, so he woke up in time.

Very good, next time Shiwa-senpai or Ying Lili will use this to silence their mouths when they say that they are fickle lovers and passionate lovers.

"Thank you for your compliment, Hojo-san." Kato Megumi opened his mouth slightly, sincerely expressing his thanks.

The determined fighter Hojo Kyosuke just smiled and handed over the paper bag in his hand.

"Actually, I wanted to give you another set, but Sakura said her books are magical, so she insisted on lending you hers." Most of the books in the bag were numbered 1 Book.

"I will read it with gratitude." Bow.

The feeling of being valued once again emerged in my heart. Both Yamauchi and Hojo are good people.

"Don't force it, after all, it's not a manga that is popular with girls."

Seeing Kato Keina's serious expression, Hojo Kyosuke reminded.Even Ying Lili's serious nerd, apart from his own works, he didn't see the other party watching other men's romances.It's somewhat embarrassing for the girl in front of me to read this kind of comics as soon as she arrives.

"There is no such thing as reluctance~~ Hojo-san."

There was no affectation on the girl's face, a smile of joy from the heart.

The flower tube is slowly tilted up, and the purple floral dress is slowly opened. In the silent night, the snow-white epiphyllum quietly blooms.Although it was only for a short moment, it was because of that short moment that that smile became more beautiful and precious.

"Then I'll go back first, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow~~"

Rarely, Kato Megumi did not follow the principle of "Everything is over when it is over, and it will never leave a trace.".She stood where she was and waited until the orange taillights disappeared around the bend in the street before turning and heading home.

"Is it Ryoko? Why don't you ask her to come in and sit for a while?" Mother Kato Tomoko asked, and father Kato Daiichiro, who was reading the newspaper, also cast a questioning look.

"It's not Ryoko." Megumi Kato replied while changing her shoes. At this time, she frantically recalled how her sister faced her parents' inquiries every time she went out on a date with her brother-in-law at night.

But this thought made her feel shy, as long as she said it calmly like before, it would be fine.The image of "Hui doesn't have to worry about anything" that I have worked so hard to create in my parents' minds cannot be destroyed.

"Not Ryoko?" Kato and his wife looked at each other, and Kato Daiichiro put down the newspaper.

"It's a new friend I met this semester, because it's not a new class? She was very excited when she talked about comics, and she enthusiastically lent me the book."

Hui used her brain and used her years of hard training to say something that did not contain any falsehoods but would reassure her parents.

"Well, then we should invite her to have a cup of tea at home." Tomoko Kato said clearly, the daughter used her as a woman.

"But it's already late~~" Kato Megumi sat on the sofa, planning to drink the cup of tea by himself.And he took out a comic and put it on his lap.

"That's right, then let her come to play at home next time, mom will help you prepare snacks."

"Yeah, thank you mom~~" She drank the tea and concealed the flash of guilty conscience.

After sitting for 2 minutes, she went upstairs with the paper bag.

call--

Wanting to accomplish a great event, Megumi Kato sat on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief.Just as I wanted to recall the conversation I had with Hojo just now, I saw that the phone on the bed was awakened by the movement of myself sitting down, and I saw the call interface.

Oops, just forgot to say goodbye to my sister!

Hang up secretly, pretending to be asleep~~ The girl made a happy decision, and then slowly stretched out her little hand.

"Megumi, it's you who came back! I left my dear sister here and ran away. I'm going to complain to my mother, saying that you have a boyfriend!"

Kato Megumi's small face showed a look of helplessness, and he quickly found out the earphone and plugged it into the phone.

"So, I've said it's just ordinary friends, boyfriend or something, do you think I will be forgotten in the mall if I go on a date?"

"Hahahahahaha, as expected, it's the funniest joke you make with yourself." Yoshinaga Hiromi laughed presumptuously, which made the girl feel lucky that she had just plugged in her earphones.At the same time, I complained about why I had to plug in the earphones just now, it was so noisy.

"There is indeed a problem~~"

"It's actually the book with the serial number 1 of "The Devotion of Suspect X"!!!"

Even Megumi Kato couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim after seeing that the collector's edition that Yamauchi Sakura was talking about was such a precious thing.

After getting to know Hojo Kyosuke, on the way home, she used her mobile phone to search for information on the Internet, and clearly listed the other party's achievements in the encyclopedia entry.

She already knows how popular this work, which has been confirmed to be shortlisted for multiple awards including the Motoya Award and the Neon Mystery Writers Association Award, has even bought a third printing edition at a bookstore on the road.

And the one in front of me is the first edition of the first book!
According to what was shown in the TV series, this kind of treasure should be given to the tutor, or the seniors of the Writers Association, right?
Megumi Kato was stunned for a moment, and even followed her sister in the earphones to start imagining the value of this book after Hojo-san died.

"Video call video call, I want to see it too." Yoshinaga Hiromi yelled.

The girl ignored it, but leaned against the wall and sat on the bed with her legs straight and close together.

Turn to the first page "I wish Sakura good health forever - Hojo Kyosuke"

Although the black font looked like it was printed, and the message was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, Megumi Kato felt the love of Kyosuke Hojo for Sakura Yamauchi at the first time.

Isn’t it always like this in TV dramas? After the child is born, the father talks loudly about his expectations for his future, hoping that he will make great achievements, earn countless wealth, and become a great big shot.And the mother whispered "I hope he grows up healthy".

The girl's high emotions after seeing the incredible treasures cooled down slightly, and she couldn't help thinking about it. Hojo-san said before that she would give herself another set.Will you also write such a congratulatory message?Nothing else is needed, just ordinary.

"Hui! I'm really going to be angry. Do you think of your dear sister as a goldfish in a fish tank? When you remember, throw two feeds, or knock on the glass twice. When you don't remember, you don't get close for a few years. real……"

Ah~~Married women are so annoying, shouldn't they live a happy married life at this time?What are you doing pestering your sister?

The girl whispered in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it. If she said it, the older sister who became more and more reckless after marriage would definitely rush to the house tomorrow.

Yoshinaga

"Hiromi, how is it, is it really Hojo Kyosuke?"

Yoshinaga asked impatiently, he is a loyal fan of Hojo Kyosuke.The three signings will be the first time to support, and every printing will buy back the kind of fans that are cherished.

"It's been said that Kei won't lie. It must be that famous person, Kyosuke Hojo."

"The first edition, the first book. I didn't expect such a treasure to be kept in the hands of Mr. Hojo. No wonder none of the photos posted by friends from the same school as him on his personal website have a serial number within 20." .”

As a fanatic who is not short of money, Fumta Yoshinaga naturally wanted to buy that kind of collector's edition.However, only one anonymous user has shown the book with serial number 6, but that person has no intention of selling it at all, and is still trying to find out who owns the first five.

"Picture" - Megumi Kato
Yoshinaga Hiromi clicked on the message, and it was indeed the first edition of the first edition that her sister said.

"It's amazing, am I going to become brother-in-law with Hojo-sensei!?" Fumta Yoshinaga put his head in his hands and fell into ecstasy.

Kato family

Kato Megumi did not expect to see "the pride of the whole family" in his life, the posture of his cousin Keiichi Kato.

"Please, Kei, let me take a look at that book too. If possible, I would also like to have a word with Hojo-san."

Kato Keiichi begged hard, he is not only a book fan, but also a personal fan.

What I like is not only the works of Hojo Kyosuke, but also the kendo prowess of the opponent.In order to maintain his academic performance, and because he has no talent, he likes kendo, so he only drools watching the game video.

Although the opponent's current record is only junior high school students, no one in Tokyo's high school circles knows that Dongcheng High School, which has won the National High School Kendo Competition for two consecutive times, is not the one even if five main candidates are selected together. combined enemy.

Why do you know, because every time people from Dongcheng go to the competition, they will bring a stand with Hojo Kyosuke on it, and "absolutely invincible" written in black on the back, indicating that it is their instructor and coach.
