Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Hojo Kyosuke returned to Tokyo after finding a suitable store in Okudera Miki. The store was in a shopping street near Kasuga Station in Bunkyo Ward. It is a neon old-fashioned shopping street like Yanaka Ginza, with a two-story building.

Sitting at the only table on the first floor, Miki Okudera, who was wearing a long black dress, turned her head and looked at Kyosuke Hojo, who was specially wearing a black suit:

"Then this is definitely the place, investor."

"Um."

Hojo Kyosuke also turned his head and looked at the retired female college student with a smile. There was no trace of fear or hesitation about the future in her gentle voice, only expectation and longing, and her amber eyes shone with excitement.

"Yes!" Miki Okudera seemed to be encouraged again, and stamped her seal heavily.

After shaking hands with the lessor and saying goodbye, the two stood there looking at the house that would belong to them for the next few years.

The contract is drafted by an administrative scrivener, including the business license. Although doing it yourself can save some money, but adhering to the concept of letting others earn the money that should be earned, Hojo Kyosuke decisively stopped Okudera-senpai who wanted to do everything by herself and simply found an agent.

And he originally planned to buy it directly, but unfortunately, this kind of shop is generally not for sale, and Senior Sister Okudera firmly disagreed with his crazy idea.

"Do you want to use the second floor for living?"

Holding the architectural drawings, Hojo Kyosuke asked.

“The second floor has been transformed into a coffee shop!”

Raising her head, Miki Okudera looked at the window on the second floor:

"The windows should be replaced with wooden ones, which should be larger, and brown wooden floors should be laid. Some rhododendrons, jasmines, and mandarin oranges should be planted on the balcony."

Speaking of this, Okudera clapped his hands and said, "Of course, there's also the hyacinth you like, Kyosuke."

Raising her hands to cover the sun, she seemed to have seen the flowers blooming. Her delicate little nose curled up cutely, as if she was smelling the fragrance of the flowers. There was endless longing in her voice:

"As soon as you open the window, the fragrance of flowers will float into the house along with the sunlight. In the morning, Kyousuke, you can sit here and have breakfast. Milk with sunlight should be more nutritious. The sun will rise at noon. The light will no longer come in, so it’s suitable for taking a nap..."

Hojo Kyosuke stood next to Okudera-senpai with a smile on his face, quietly listening to her plans for the future and his place in her future.

"Then let's get started. We must see the restaurant open before school starts!" Rolling up the drawings, Hojo Kyosuke took Okudera's snow-white hand and walked into the store.

"Hmm!" Unlike in the Garden of Words where she always maintained a business-like smile, in this store of her own, Okudera Miki seemed to be happy all the time, her mouth never calmed down, and the smile on her face It's so bright and moving.

"Considering that my shop doesn't have that many customers..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The people queuing up must have gone all the way outside the shopping street. Then the scalpers will be waiting outside your shop, Okudera-senpai, early in the morning!" Hojo Kyousuke interrupted.

"Hehehe, okay, okay, considering the scarcity, all the tables in the store are going to be round tables, and the chairs will be of this style..."

Miki Okudera took out her mobile phone. She had already prepared the styles of tables and chairs. They were not pictures found on the Internet, but drawn by herself.

"Okay, leave it to me, I will do it all with my own hands!"

Hojo Kyosuke said unceremoniously that in his scattered memories, he seemed to often do carpentry work in Mitsuha Miyamizu's hometown. For a swordsman like him, he can cut out a complete circle even with a knife. Whether it is comics or glass, he is the best at playing with round things!

"Haha, of course, I planned to do it with you Kyousuke from the beginning!" Okudera Miki said with a smile.

It is said to be decoration, but in fact it is just a simple decoration, and the layout is according to your own preferences. The kitchen is already there, and as for the stove, as long as you place the order, the people from the company will take care of it all.

"This wall is used to post menus, and two paintings are hung on this wall... As for lighting, I want to use yellow light here, and there..."

Clear sounds kept ringing in the empty shop. Miki Okudera held Hojo Kyousuke's hand tightly, jumping like a bird. She had corresponding arrangements for every corner of the house.

After a long time, she stopped making happy sounds.

"Um, did I speak too quickly."

Noticing that the two people's hands were still holding each other tightly, her pretty fair face flushed, but she turned her head and pretended not to notice, her voice a little embarrassed.

"Yeah, not at all, I've written it all down."

Hojo Kyosuke shook his head and opened a blank piece of paper. First, there was a simple perspective view of the store, that is, there were only two walls and the floor. Then he drew the tables and chairs according to the dimensions of the tables and chairs that Okudera-senpai showed him before, and then the menus on the walls, light bulbs, hanging paintings...

It's exactly the same as what Okudera-senpai described before.

I don’t know whether it’s because of the excellent spatial imagination brought by science, or because design is an interdisciplinary subject. Although he has no artistic talent, it is not difficult for Hojo Kyosuke to draw such a simple design based on Okudera-senpai’s description. .

"Amazing!"

As more and more content appeared on the paper, the surprise in the eyes of the beautiful Okudera Miki became more intense, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her mouth opened wide and she exclaimed.

"Haha, I am also a cartoonist after all. I can still do this kind of thing." Looking at the admiration in the eyes of Senior Okudera, Hojo Kyosuke waved his hand casually.

"Except for you, Kyosuke, I have never heard of any cartoonist who can do such a thing!" Okudera Miki's originally free hand also grasped Hojo Kyosuke's hand, with unabashed admiration in her tone. .

"Hahaha, just so-so. Okudera-senpai, please check and see if there is anything else you want to add. If not, we can start purchasing."

Enjoying the beauty's praise, someone said with a happy heart.

"Hmm~ Kyosuke, your drawing is really good. It's exactly the same as what I imagined. I really can't find anything to add."

After staring at the design drawing for a few seconds, Okudera Miki raised her face and pretended to be distressed.

"Hahaha, it's true, senior sister, you are too exaggerated."

"Well, Kyosuke, I'm no longer a female college student, so it's time to change my title, right?" Miki Okudera lowered her head and whispered.

"Huh?" Hojo Kyousuke was stunned and turned his head. He could only see a faint blush on the face of Senior Okudera.

"Then, Okudera?"

"..." Miki Okudera's plump little mouth narrowed.

"Hahaha, let's go, Miki, today's task is very heavy!"

It was rare to see the gentle and lovely Miki Okudera looking like a little girl. Hojo Kyosuke was in a good mood and stood up holding her hand.

"Chief!" X4

The people who came were the Onibaku duo who were in charge of driving, and Goro Hata and Ryoma Mihashi who were in charge of cleaning.

"I'm going to have a hard time with you today."

Hojo Kyosuke nodded. Miki Okudera, who was still being held by him, was a little shy when she first saw these strangers, but she calmed down after feeling the strength in her hands and bowed slightly to express her gratitude.

"No, no, I don't know how happy I am to be able to serve the commander-in-chief again before leaving Tokyo." Onizuka Eikichi said seriously.

In fact, the house is already very clean. The company responsible for managing the house after the previous tenant quit the rent has cleaned it. Otherwise, Hojo Kyosuke would have hired a housekeeping company a long time ago instead of bothering his subordinates. Now it is just cleaning up. I'll help you later.

As Onizuka drove, the group came to Chiyoda District and gathered shops selling indoor and outdoor decoration materials. There were no such shops in Bunkyo District.

The car Onitsuka drove was a small truck, which was responsible for hauling some scattered things like lamps. Things that needed to be processed, like tables, would be done at the template sales place, otherwise they would be taken to the shopping street of Kasuga Station. Also be careful not to disturb people or anything like that.

The decoration work was carried out in an orderly manner and was almost completed in a week.

"Nowadays, technology is really amazing. You can buy blooming flowers at any time." Miki Okudera said with emotion as she reached out and gently touched the hyacinth on the balcony.

"Isn't this the meaning of technological progress?"

Hojo Kyosuke was holding a glass of iced Coke. Although it was called a coffee shop, for him who loved sleeping and liked the drowsy feeling, coffee had never been among the first choices of drinks. Miki Okudera obviously knew what kind of person he was. Among other things, she immediately purchased a batch of carbonated drinks to put in the refrigerator after buying it.

"Speaking of which, I don't know the name of the store yet." Putting down the glass, Hojo Kyousuke suddenly thought of this important thing. He had asked Okudera Miki this question since he first registered the store, but the other party kept telling her off.

"Haha." Miki Okudera, who was also holding a glass of iced Coke, twirled the cup, with a proud and playful smile on her bright and gorgeous face.

"Kyosuke, please smell what I smell like now."

"Cigar." Hojo Kyosuke said without hesitation. Even if the fragrance of various flowers on the balcony continued to float into his nose, it only added some changes to Miki's unique fragrance.

"Slightly fruity and woody aroma, with a bit of sweetness, and a bit of bitterness upon tasting."

This was the strange cigar aroma that Hojo Kyosuke "smelled" from Miki Okudera when they first met. At that time, he was not familiar with his strange "smell" and thought it was left behind after Miki smoked. But the hot girl on the other side has never smoked cigarettes again, let alone cigars.

But now, that smell has changed. I don't know if it's because of the floral fragrance or something else, but the bitterness completely disappears when you taste it carefully, replaced by endless softness. As long as he closes his eyes, the scent of Okudera Miki wraps him up like silk, as gentle as her own person.

"Ah~ Really, then my perfume was sprayed in vain." The new beauty shop owner said distressedly. He obviously carefully selected the right perfume for every date, but this guy said that every time.

"Hahaha, but that's your scent, Miki. No matter how long it takes, I won't get tired of it. At this point, even the top perfume can't compare." Hojo Kyosuke said with a smile.

"It sounds like a fantasy story. Do you really deserve to be a cartoonist?" Miki Okudera said helplessly, as if there was really nothing you could do, but the smile on her face became brighter.

"Oh, here it comes!" From the balcony, she saw a car with "Nagai Advertisement" on it driving into the shopping street. She stood up and made a joyful sound.

"Oh, here comes the sign." Hojo Kyosuke also stood up.

"Well, come on, come on."

Miki Okudera, who was wearing a white dress, grabbed Hojo Kyosuke and ran towards the stairs.

"Yanting"

On the black solid wood plaque are two square Chinese characters.

"Yantei?" Hojo Kyousuke whispered.

"Well, this is a restaurant, and I will definitely be smelling of cooking smoke. And Kyousuke, you said that I smell like cigars, so I just used this name." Looking at the man standing in the middle of the street, he looked carefully. The signature boy, Okudera Miki said playfully.

"It will definitely become more delicious that way."

Looking at the beautiful girl standing at the door of the store, wearing a white dress with her hands behind her back, looking at him with amber eyes full of happiness, Hojo Kyousuke also laughed.

The next day, the restaurant called "Yantei" opened in a low-key manner, but the door was still filled with wreaths. In addition to Hojo Kyosuke's, there were also teachers and close classmates from Okudera Miki School. Of course, And Shizuka Hiratsuka's. It's just that she had something to do at school today and had to rush over a little late.

Yes, wreaths are usually placed at neon store openings and birthday celebrations, etc. They are basically the same as some kind of white wreaths, but the colors are bright and festive such as red, but they can also be used as wreaths.

The glass door of the shop has not yet opened, and Okudera Miki is not nervous at all about the opening. She just looks at the boy opposite tasting her food with a sweet look on her face.

"Is it really okay to just leave it outside like this?" There was a large plate of steak in front of him. It was the meat sent by Hojo Kyosuke from his family. From now on, his family will be Okudera Miki's supplier.

"Of course you have to satisfy the investors first, because Kyousuke, didn't you say that if you eat with me, the food will become more delicious."

With her hands on the table and her small face propped up, Okudera Miki's eyes were filled with happiness, and she looked at her investors without blinking.

"Haha." Looking at that charming face, Hojo Kyosuke grinned, raised his knife and cut the steak.

"Then I'll start."

The two seemed to have returned to the time when they first met in the Garden of Words.

At that time, the yellow light was ambiguous and blurry. Okudera Miki pressed her plump lips tightly, sitting aside a little at a loss, looking at the boy who didn't look angry at all after being manipulated by her all night due to a misunderstanding. He was doubtful and shy in his heart, saying that eating with him would become more delicious, but he looked like he wanted to swallow him in one gulp.

At this moment, under the same yellow light, I was sitting in my own restaurant, watching him cut the steak that he had fried by himself, cover it with the sauce that he made, and slowly put it into his mouth to chew. Okudera Miki only felt that she was so lucky. The two met through a misunderstanding, but he became a part of her dream.

There was nothing but that person in her amber eyes.

And Hojo Kyosuke’s head was filled with gorgeous fireworks.

"Getting a gift from 'Miki Okudera' - artistic talent"

Can my agiasia be cured? This was the first thought that came to Hojo Kyousuke's mind.

"Kyosuke, you should be graduating from high school soon. Have you decided where to go to college?"

Waking up from the fantasy, Okudera Miki thought of Hojo Kyosuke across the table. He should also be entering his senior year of high school now.

Will write more tomorrow! ! !
