1986, Create a Miss Tokyo Ichiban

Chapter 5 Sayuri Asano

The ten-year-old girl's affectionate shouts rang out in the narrow streets of Shimono, with a long drawl.

"Kotone~~chan~~, wake up~~~ah~~ah~~!"

In the narrow room on the second floor, Da Meng Zhengxiang's piano pouted, and she subconsciously covered her head with a thin quilt.

Sayuri, who was wearing two braids, was still shouting with all her strength downstairs.

"Kotone~~~chan~~~, got up and went for a morning run~!"

"Everyone wants to grow taller, but lazy people can't grow taller~!"

The little girl's call startled a few birds that had been parked on the wires in the morning, but there was still no movement in the room on the second floor.

Sayuri took a deep breath and decided to use a trick!
"Kotone-chan, if you don't get up, your dream of long legs will be shattered~~~Ah~~!"

My god~~, Sayuri, shut up!

The ashamed and angry Qin Yin grabbed the overnight biscuits on the pillow and threw them out of the window.

The little girl wearing sports shorts was startled by the sound of a small piece of biscuit being smashed next to her.

"Ah~~, damn~~, Qinyin, you actually dare to throw things at me~~, I don't want to care about you anymore~~!"

At 06:30 in the morning, on the streets of the rural town of Shimono.

"Qinyin, wait for me, don't run so fast~~."

Two ten-year-old girls wearing sports shorts ran one behind the other on the deserted street.

The tall girl with a high ponytail strode forward, her black ponytail flying in the morning breeze. She actually turned a deaf ear to the pitiful shouts of her companions behind her.

Qinyin ran around the street twice, and while she still had some energy left in her body, she practiced high leg raises under the telephone pole.

After raising her legs to reach fifty, the panting Sayuri ran to her side.

"Sayuri, fifty leg raises!"

"No, Kotone-chan, I was wrong!"

"Since you know that you are wrong, I will kindly reward you. Now it is sixty!"

"I hate it, Kotone is a tyrant!"

After finishing sixty leg raises, Sayuri Asano was dragged back to her home by the sound of the piano.

Bai Xiang, who had just returned from grocery shopping, smiled and said to the two sweating little girls: "Today's breakfast is dried fish rice balls with sugar. Sayuri, let's eat them here too!"

Sayuri, whose whole body was so weak, held on and said: "Aliado, Aunt Baixiang."

Then she lay down on the mat again, unwilling to move at all.

Because of that "game" income, the food at home has become better.

For example, Kotone's breakfast changed from one rice ball dotted with pickled plums to two.

The pickled plums on the rice balls also turned into small dried fish half a finger long.

Seeing Kotone slowly eating two whole rice balls, Sayuri looked awkwardly at the half of the rice ball still in her hand.

Her appetite is too small!
Qinyin touched her belly and felt that she could still eat.

After the age of ten, it is the time to draw a strip, and her nutrition cannot be left behind at this time.

But my mother valued that money very much, and her living expenses were only temporarily enriched.

So, the first goal of the eldest lady is to have a full stomach?

Bah bah bah, it should be reasonable to supplement enough trace elements and nutrients.

Asano-san looked at her butterfly net with some worry, it was one of her favorite things.

But now it was turned into a windmill shape in the hands of classmate Zhang Yu.

Sayuri jumped behind Qinyin, picking a few wild flowers on the roadside from time to time.

"Qinyin, where are we going to catch butterflies?"

Kotone waved a butterfly net and pointed at the small river (river) in the distance.

Seeing the direction Kotone was pointing in, Sayuri hesitated.

"Before the holiday, Teacher Hanano said that you can't go to the river. There are a lot of butterflies at the foot of the mountain."

Qin Yin rolled her eyes, who wants to catch butterflies? Am I that naive?

Sayuri saw Kotone rolling her eyes and immediately praised her.

"Kotone-chan, the way you roll your eyes is so cute!"

But a few seconds later, Asano Sayuri tightly hugged Zhangyu Kotone's arm and pulled her back. She tried to stop Kotone from walking to the river.

"Kotone-chan, you can't go there. If you are discovered by the teacher, you will have to report it!" Unfortunately, she was small and weak, and soon found herself being dragged towards the river by Kotone.

"Kotone-chan, let me go!"

"Kotone-chan, my shoe fell off!"

"Here, here are your shoes."

"Ariardo~! Ah, don't keep dragging me, Kotone-chan~~~."

With a dark face, Qinyin dragged the screaming Sayuri into the grass by the river. Bah, that was wrong, it was by the creek covered with white sand.

Throwing Sayuri aside, Kotone looked at the sun above his head, and then used a piece of grass to test the angle of shadow refraction in the stream.

"Kotone-chan, what are you doing?"

Curiosity made Sayuri temporarily forget her teachers' warnings.

"I'm studying the refraction of light angles on the water's surface."

"Wow, Kotone-chan is so awesome~!"

"Hey, why do Kotone-chan want to study this problem?"

Kotone told Sayuri seriously.

"This is to prepare for my biological observation experiments during the holiday."

"Oh~~~, no wonder Kotone-chan insisted on coming here. Are you planning to observe the habits of these small fishes?"

Hey, Sayuri's eyes are really good.

Just now, Kotone looked at the fish without noticing it for a long time, but Sayuri easily betrayed her location.

Is it because she is shorter than me?

Plop~, clatter~!

Sayuri looked at the two small fish flapping in her butterfly net with a shocked expression.

She was so wronged that she almost cried.

"Kotone-chan, how can you catch fish with a butterfly net?"

Kotone shrugged.

"They are both used to catch small animals. Is there any difference?"

Sayuri was asked by Kotone again.

Six small fish as big as a palm were grilled over charcoal from a large stone by the river, and sprinkled with a little salt.

"By the way, why did Kotone-chan bring matches and salt?"

Facing her friend's suspicious eyes, Qin Yin told her seriously.

"In chemical thermal reactions, fire is a necessary condition, and the scientific name of pure salt in chemistry is sodium chloride."

Sayuri's eyes began to sparkle, looking confused and adoring.

an hour later.

The two little girls, whose mouths were full of the taste of small fish, happily embarked on their way home, carrying two small charred grilled fish and a wet butterfly net.

The next morning.

"Kotone-chan~~~, you have long legs~~~, ah, you threw me away again? I really won't forgive you this time~!!!"

riverside.

"The sound of the piano is so fragrant~! Bah, bah, bah."

A few days passed in a blink of an eye.

It was another Monday. Instead of going to the river, the two little girls ran to the bookstore on the street early in the morning.

"Boss, is there "Shounen Jump"?"

"Xiao Qinyin, come here, take it and give you some change."

"Aliado!"

The two little girls rushed to Sayuri's house holding comic magazines, hid in Sayuri's room, and opened the comic books together.

In the corner of the cover of "Shounen Jump", a handsome little boy is pushing up his big glasses with a serious look.
