Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

The morning sun slowly rose from between the mountains, and the birds beside the Itoshou Lake flew up in fright, their wings passing over the lake. The calm water surface suddenly rippled, shining brightly in the morning light.

The short black hair fell from her ears, covering her fair face with a slight blush. The corners of the sleeping woman's mouth were slightly raised, wondering what kind of sweet dream she was having.

A little foot stuck out of the quilt at some point. Fortunately, the sun was warm enough and she didn't get cold. The round and delicate toes look so cute in the white sunlight, making people want to play with them for a whole year.

Didu~~

The sound of a mobile phone suddenly rang in the quiet room, and the smile on the sleeping woman's face seemed to have stopped for a moment. The long and thick eyelashes suddenly raised upwards, and the closed eyes suddenly opened. Those black eyes that seemed to contain countless mysteries were now filled with intense surprise.

"Hojo-kun!"

Xueye exclaimed in a low voice and sat up suddenly. Ignoring the glimmer of spring light exposed when the quilt fell off, he reached for the mobile phone placed on the tatami beside him.

"Want to have breakfast together?" - Mitsuha Miyamizu

No honorifics were used, it was Hojo-kun! Although she didn't seem to be very polite to Sanye, Xueye couldn't help but cheer happily in her heart.

"Yes!" There was no politeness, no greetings, Xueye was like a child facing candy, and he immediately followed his inner voice and answered.

"Then please wait at home for a while. I'll let you try my cooking today. I'll make breakfast for grandma and Yotsuba and come back to you." - Mitsuha Miyamizu

"Um!"

Although she wanted to say that she could just cook the food and take it to the mountains, this docile woman still just agreed softly.

"See you later." - Mitsuha Miyamizu

"see you later."

After sending it out, Yukino Momoka added in her heart, "See you later, Hojo-kun."

On the other side, Miyamizu Shrine

Hojo Kyosuke put away his phone and rubbed his shoulders again.

I don’t know what Miyami Mitsuha did yesterday and why he was so exhausted. Regardless of the difference between men and women, Hojo Kyousuke quickly used the muscle relaxation technique taught by Beichen Ittoruden to give Mitsuha Miyamizu a set, and then he felt much better.

What is also strange is the cell phone alarm clock. This is the first time that Hojo Kyosuke has used Mitsuha Miyamizu's body so many times that he is not woken up by the sun but by the cell phone alarm clock, and the alarm time is still very early. After looking at the memo, Mitsuha Miyamizu didn't explain what he was going to do when he got up early.

In the past, Mitsuha Miyamizu would think that girls were shy and made some behavioral rules for him, but later it became less and less, just like him.

Standing up, taking off his pajamas, and looking at the bright yellow bra that was the same style as the shorts, Hojo Kyosuke shook his head in amusement. She is obviously a revered goddess and witch in the eyes of the townspeople, but the things she likes are all this cute type, which is a bit of a contrast to cuteness.

Ignoring the underwear, Hojo Kyousuke quickly put on his safety pants and school uniform.

It was also thanks to Mitsuha Miyamizu's alarm clock that he had time to ask Yukino Momoka to have breakfast. Otherwise, according to someone's habit of letting Taiyang and Yotsuba urge her to get up every day, let alone time to find Yukino, it would be good if she is not late.

Opening the door to the corridor, the door to the living room was already open. Hojo Kyosuke walked over and took a look, and sure enough, his grandmother Miyamizu Kazuyo was already sitting there. The door facing Itomori Lake was also opened. She was enjoying the view with a cup of strong tea.

"Grandma, good morning." He greeted respectfully.

"Good morning, Sanye."

As if he heard the difference in tone, Miyamizu Kazuyo turned around, looked at his granddaughter's single ponytail for a while with cloudy eyes, and then turned around again with an inexplicable smile.

"What's wrong, grandma?" Hojo Kyosuke felt uncomfortable with the old man's look.

"It's nothing, Mitsuba is also very energetic today." Miyamizu Kazuyo said with a smile.

"Oh, because I slept very well last night. I have to go out for something later, so I will cook in advance." After saying that, Hojo Kyosuke walked into the kitchen when the old man didn't react.

There is never a shortage of ingredients in the Miyamizu family's kitchen, but there is always more than enough to eat. Often, the first town citizen who came to worship at the shrine would give two cabbages, and then Miyamizu Mitsuha would give another cabbage to another town citizen who came to worship, and then accept the two bags of potatoes from the other town...

Because he was considering taking it to eat with Yukino Momori, Hojo Kyosuke decided not to make stir-fries, but planned to make some rice balls. Anyway, the Miyamizu family is used to eating rice directly in the morning, so it’s not a big deal to switch to rice balls now, just consider the taste of the elderly.

Turning on the rice cooker to cook the rice, he began to prepare the side dishes for the rice balls. In fact, rice balls are just like sushi and tempura. Everything can be made with rice balls. As long as it has mayonnaise and mayonnaise, it will still be delicious no matter what you add.

I boiled eggs and fish fillets, made two pieces of thick egg-yaki that are necessary for rice balls, cut some fresh vegetables such as cucumbers and carrots, and made a bowl of sauce with soy sauce mirin and other seasonings.

While doing this, the quick-cooking rice cooker already indicated that the rice was ready, and he spread the rice in a large bowl and began to let it cool.

…

"Grandma, I'm going out first. Later, tell Siye I'm sorry that she has to go to school alone today."

Although other children also go to school alone, since they started switching bodies, they have gone to school with Yotsuba. Today, he suddenly asked the little girl to go alone. Hojo Kyousuke always felt a little guilty.

"Um."

Miyamizu Kazuyo responded with a smile. The rice balls made by Hojo Kyousuke were already placed on the table in front of him. There were also some warm rice with the aroma of ingredients floating around. The old man didn't even look at it, he was still looking at it in concentration. The granddaughter Mitsuha Miyamizu is walking further and further away.

Although he is a god, he is also an old man. Watching his two granddaughters every morning, listening to them bickering, eating the food they cooked, watching them go to school, and watching them grow up, is the greatest pleasure for the priest of Miyamizu Shrine.

After a while, Miyamizu Yotsuba wearing a large nightgown came to the door of the living room.

"Grandma, where's my sister? She's not in the room or in the kitchen." The little Loli looked sleepy in her clothes. It could be heard from her words that she had already searched for her sister as soon as she woke up.

"She had something to do and she went out first. She said she was sorry and had to let you go to school alone today." Miyamizu Kazuyo turned around, looked at his little granddaughter and said with a smile.

"But didn't she have to clean the shrine and office building this morning?"

Are you trying to dump this job on me? As soon as this terrible guess appeared in his mind, Yotsuba's little head was so frightened that he woke up when he thought of the terrible workload in such a huge shrine and office building.

"Haha, I can't bear to let my granddaughter work so hard. I've asked others to clean it."

Miyamizu Kazuyo said with a smile, but the long-lasting memories emerged unconsciously.

Before her daughter Futaba Miyamizu married that bastard son-in-law, she had to clean the house every morning and make offerings to the gods.

No matter how many times he saw it, Miyamizu Kazuyo always felt that the daughter in the miko costume was like a goddess who was not stained by the world. She looked more like a member of the Miyamizu family than anyone else. Oh, so is Mitsuba now. She is slowly becoming what a daughter of the Miyamizu family should be.

Even when it comes to cleaning, she still hums a tune that sounds like the chirping of birds in the mountains with a happy face on her face. After cleaning, she would place the high lacquer trays containing various tributes in order in front of the altar in the front hall.

Rice, wine, salt, water, kelp, eggs, as well as small round watermelons, sweet potatoes and pears offered by believers. After being removed from the altar, these tributes will be enjoyed by the Miyamizu family. In Shinto teachings, tributes offered to gods must eventually be eaten and digested by mortals, which is an important part of sacrifice.

Then, Futaba would make tea and quietly look at Itomori Lake and everything in Itomori Town with him, waiting for the townspeople to come up the mountain to pay homage.

But everything changed after the bastard son-in-law came. The daughter who had always been well-behaved seemed to have become a different person, and she actually wanted to marry a man she had never met many times.

Bastard son-in-law!

Looking at his little granddaughter Miyamizu Yotsuba who was happily eating a rabbit-shaped rice ball, a trace of pity flashed across the old man's face, and he stretched out his skinny hand to remove the rice balls stuck to his little face.

"Eat slowly, I'll prepare some miso soup for you."
