Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

"But this place is too far from my home." Standing in the courtyard, looking at the three-story mansion behind her, Ying Lili frowned and muttered unwillingly.

"Haha, if you ride a motorcycle, it only takes more than ten minutes to get to your house. It's very convenient whether you're going to school or your house. We can also stop by for a late-night snack on the way."

Looking at the windows of so many rooms, Hojo Kyousuke began to calculate the time required for cleaning. That's right, the two of them are now in the mansion that occupied an area of ​​400 square meters. Unlike Kirisaki who got the information from the real estate house, Eiri's father knew the owner of the house directly.

Not only the owner of this house, but also the owner of the equally exaggerated villa for sale in front of him, Mr. Spencer also knew the owner.

Behind the house that Hojo Kyosuke is interested in, there are three one-family buildings like triplets, but the three together will only be as big as his house. He originally thought that this house with a forest was exaggerated enough, but he didn't expect that there was a villa in front with a small football field in the yard. Looking at the small houses around me, I can't help but feel how different the world is.

"There are indeed a lot of shops around here." Yingli rubbed her chin and began to recall:

"But there are too many rooms in this house. Why do you need so many rooms?"

As for the study and studio, it would be fine if the two of them share one. When Kyousuke paints by himself, he can write next to him. It seems good to use the sound of his typing on the keyboard as background sound, so that he can also perform his work as a comic assistant.

If there are other rooms, you can use one as a cloakroom. You can wear casual clothes when painting. When you are tired, you can just change into clothes for going out. The two of you can go out together to check in the nearby shops one by one. Maybe I can draw another comic by then, called "The Food Journey of the Comic Assistant and Her Cartoonist."

By the way, a room can be dedicated to storing the peripherals of their works, and they can play some childish games in cosplay costumes...

"Well, as I said before, I have a lot of people in my family. They will all come to Tokyo for the graduation ceremony in the near future. Eri-ri-san should also come to play at home by then. My mother has wanted to see you for a long time. "Kyosuke Hojo said with a smile.

"Meet, meet, meet the parents!?" Yinglili turned around suddenly, her face flushed: "What are you trying to do? I'm just your comic assistant, why do you have to come here to see your mother?"

What should I do? Will Kyousuke's mother think that I am a bad girl who dyes my hair? I heard that people in Hokkaido are very xenophobic. Will people of British descent be disliked?

No, you have to go back and ask Mother for advice at this time!

"My family won't come until March." Hojo Kyousuke ignored Eri's textbook arrogance.

Huh~~ Then there is still time to customize the clothes, but is it better to wear a skirt or a kimono? If you’re in Neon, it’s better to wear a kimono at this time, right?

Yinglili breathed a sigh of relief and turned to other worries.

In the end, the two of them had eel rice with roasted birds at an izakaya next to the residential street. This area can become a high-end residential street not only because there are enough celebrities who have died, but also because there are a large number of schools gathered there. In a place like this, there are no shortage of shopping streets.

Early the next morning, Hojo Kyousuke came to the house for the third time, and this time standing next to him was Kasumigaoka Shiu.

Perhaps the most satisfied person about this house is not Hojo Kyosuke, but the senior student in front of him who has carefully counted the literati who lived nearby and died.

In the living room, she held a large map covered with red circles. Hojo Kyosuke walked over and took a look. They were all kindergartens, elementary schools, and hospitals. Looking at Senior Shiyu who looked satisfied, he suddenly tensed up.

"Kyosuke, have you ever visited Mr. Natsume Soseki's grave?"

"No." It's not like you'll find any dropped items. Why would you go to a place like that?

"Then let's go take a look together." Kasumigaoka Shiu held Hojo Kyosuke's arm excitedly. Both of them were writers, and this kind of place couldn't be more suitable to live. And with so many rooms, there is no need to buy another house if you have children in the future.

"Okay, there's a sushi restaurant in front of the cemetery, we can have lunch there."

In the afternoon, Hojo Kyosuke directly led Yamauchi Sakura to the house.

"Xinguang Village, Fushou Village, Qingfeng Village..."

Sakura looked at the names of nearby manors on the map on her phone, turned her head and asked curiously: "Kyosuke, what are you going to name the house?"

"Name?" Hojo Kyosuke, who had just opened the door, scratched his head. Isn't this embarrassing him: "Hojo's family?"

"Oh~~ So the people living there are all members of the Hojo family, right?" Sakura teased with a smirk on her face, her little hands behind her back, and she followed Hojo Kyosuke in.

“Isn’t that how everyone’s house numbers are written?”

"Hey, let's just believe you."

January in Tokyo is the coldest time of the year. Sakura is wearing a thick blue down jacket. Her lower body is not bare-legged like the neon girls. Instead, she wears the same type of cotton pants as Hojo Kyosuke.

He walked around in a circle, looking at the elegant Japanese-style room and the reddish-brown solid wood staircase. Finally, Sakura turned his attention to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Kyosuke, do you remember?" The girl's bright yellow cat-like eyes seemed to be shining.

"Yeah, of course."

Hojo Kyousuke stepped forward and stood side by side with Sakura, their hands, one big and one small, naturally held together.

Sakura pursed her lips, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and leaned her head over.

Watching TV with her mother, the young Sakura learned about "marriage", "couple" and "home" for the first time. Without enough time to understand the deeper meaning, he ran out of the house wearing indoor slippers, rushed into Hojo's house, opened the door and jumped into the arms of the young Hojo Kyousuke who was also watching TV.

"Idiot Sakura, I'm going to be crushed by you!" Hojo Kyosuke said, and quickly stretched out his hands to hug Sakura, worried that she would fall and break her head.

"Hey, Kyosuke, will we have our own home in the future?" Ignoring the mutterings of the person under her, Sakura sat firmly on him and asked this question with shining eyes.

"Home?" Hojo Kyousuke was confused for a moment.

"Ara, are Sakura-chan already thinking about the future?" Hojo Mikiko, who was preparing snacks in the kitchen, said with a smile, and then walked out with a plate of strawberries.

"Yeah!" Sakura nodded vigorously.

"But isn't this Kyosuke's home? If Sakura-chan marries Kyousuke from now on, this will also be your home." Mikiko Hojo teased.

"Yeah~" Sakura shook her head vigorously: "This is Aunt Mijiko's home. Everyone will have their own home when they grow up."

"Well, then Kyousuke has Kyousuke's home, and Sakurara has Sakurara's home, right?"

Looking at the serious and cute look of the little girl carved out of ice, the evil-minded aunt continued.

"No, no, of course Kyosuke and I are from the same family!" Sakura said seriously.

"Of course we will have our own home." Looking at his mother speechlessly, Hojo Kyousuke rubbed Sakura's head with two braids.

"Really?" Sakura confirmed again.

"Of course! Sakura and my home." Hojo Kyosuke said seriously.

"Will there be a hide-and-seek forest at home?"

"Yes, it is full of oaks, cryptomerias, and pine trees. I can help you build a cabin when the time comes."

"Wow! Shall we camp inside together tonight?"

"No, of course I'm sleeping in the house, and Sakura is keeping watch in the cabin."

"Okay, I will definitely protect Kyosuke!" Sakura nodded seriously.

…

The longing for the future that she had in her childhood was slowly coming true. Looking at the clearly identifiable trees in the courtyard, Sakura's little face was filled with a happy smile.

Hojo Kyousuke, who has remembered things since he was a child, was also immersed in memories. Feeling his little head leaning against him, he moved his arms, intending to hug his childhood sweetheart.

"Kyosuke has prepared so many rooms, is he planning to let Glass and Naoka live in them too?"

...Someone makes a sudden move, so the ancients often teach us that if life is not what we want, nine out of ten things will happen. Things had developed to the point where he had to worry about whether the room was enough to live in. He often reflected on it, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly. In this world, no one can move forward completely according to their own wishes, and accidents are always inevitable.

"Of course, how happy it will be for everyone to go to school together." Hojo Kyosuke nodded.

Kyousuke is such an idiot!

Sakura sighed angrily and helplessly, greedy guy. The Kyousuke who only played with me when I was little was cuter.

Seeing that the girl beside him had not spoken for a long time, Hojo Kyousuke was a little uneasy.

"Sakura..."

"So how much rent does Kyousuke plan to charge?" Sakura raised her head and asked playfully.

"Huh? What rent? How can I charge you rent?" Hojo Kyosuke was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.

"No, you must pay the rent! If you pay the rent, it will be like I am raising Kyousuke. Kyousuke, didn't you say when you were a child that your dream was to be taken care of by a rich woman?"

"How can you take what a child says seriously? And why did you remember what happened at that time, Sakura? You must have used your memory in the wrong place." Someone denied it. He was about to use his own ability to buy a super mansion with all the money. people.

"I can remember everything related to Kyousuke, such as when Kyousuke wet the bed on his first birthday..."

"Stop, stop, stop, you were still in Kyoto at that time, right?"

"Aunt Mijiko told me! She also said..."

"One thousand yen, one thousand yen a year!"

"Hehe." Sakura smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Then the two of them continued to visit the house, without anyone from the real estate house accompanying them, because Hojo Kyosuke had already entered into the purchase process.

"Please allow me to introduce you now——"

Arriving at the corner of the kitchen, Hojo Kyousuke bowed and pointed to a small door with walnut handrails.

"No way, is it really what I think?" Sakura asked in disbelief as her eyes widened and she covered her mouth.

"That's right!"

"Food delivery elevator!!" Sakura grabbed the handrail and pulled it out, revealing a space that could only hold a box of drinks.

"Haha, I was surprised when I saw it." Seeing Sakura's surprise, Hojo Kyosuke was satisfied.

I don’t remember what cartoon it was. When they were kids and watched it together, they became obsessed with the dining staircase that could transport food directly from the first floor to the bedroom. They didn’t expect that this weird mansion actually had such a design. Of course, even if it doesn't exist, Hojo Kyousuke will find a way to add it during subsequent renovations.

"Can it really be used?" Sakura asked impatiently. Seeing him like that, she immediately wanted to get in and try it herself.

"Of course." But it wasn't really delivered to the room, it was just delivered to the same location on the second and third floors, that is, at the end of the corridor.

Hojo Kyosuke opened a locker on the top of the kitchen, and there was a bag of honey-flavored potato chips inside that should have been empty. Sakura understood immediately and ran to the second floor.

After putting the potato chips in the elevator and pressing the switch, Hojo Kyousuke also ran to the second floor. How could he not share this historic moment with Sakura.

At the end of the corridor on the second floor, Sakura was squatting there, staring intently at the light on the small door.

"Ah, Kyousuke Kyosuke, we are really here!" The blue light turned on, and Sakura shouted happily.

Opening the glass of the window and looking at the leafless maple trees below and the still green evergreen trees, the two of them ate potato chips quietly, enjoying the joy of making their dreams come true.

Sakura did not ask Hojo Kyosuke if it was difficult to buy a house, because every time he signed a contract, he would immediately share his joy with her and tell her how many things we could buy together and where we could go and play. Then let her think hard about what she wants.

"Shelter is the container of life"

This is what Aunt Mikiko taught Kyousuke, and he often talks about it. This is also the reason why although their family basically never lives in Pratunam City, they never thought of selling the house.

Kyousuke and I will definitely be able to create more memories here in the future.

All handovers of the house were completed before the start of school. This house is located at the intersection of Bunkyo Ward and Toshima Ward, Mejirodai 3-chome, No. 25, No. 7, covering an area of ​​over 400 square meters, a construction area of ​​200 square meters, and a price of 350 million yen after tax. The mansion became the property of Hojo Kyosuke.

"The author of "The Devotion of Suspect Won the National Kendo Competition in 2017..."

The document filled with Hojo Kyosuke's information was placed on a low table, and a woman sat there and looked at it carefully. Her hair was meticulously tied back with hairpins. Even if she was the only one in the room, she was still wearing a bright green "Sekashi" kimono with a family crest printed on the back.

The woman's name is Yukinoshita Mie, and the information in her hand was reported by the real estate house owned by Yukinoshita Real Estate Company. A set of materials that had been in the company's hands for so many years was finally sold, and the price was paid in full. Such buyers will of course be reported to their superiors.

After reading the information, Yukinoshita Mijiang gently tapped her chin with a white folding fan, her blue eyes thoughtful. Her husband is a married woman and has only two daughters. It is a foregone conclusion that she will find a son-in-law. The eldest daughter has already entered college, so we need to plan for this kind of thing in advance.

…

The last semester of the third grade of junior high school has begun, and Hojo Kyousuke, who doesn't have to worry about studying at all, puts most of his energy into the decoration and renovation of the house. He put the matter about Xueye and Mitsuha on hold for the time being. It's not like the two of them disappeared from the earth.

Yukino Mokari must be in Tokyo, he was sure of this, the two would meet at a certain time and place. As for Miyamizu Mitsuha, she already knew from Mihashi Ryoma's sister that Miyamizu Mitsuha would come to Tokyo to study at university, so he could just go to the school to find her.

Moreover, when Hojo Kyosuke was following Kisaki around, he saw Mitsuha's father Toshiki Miyamizu once. After collecting some information, I found that the other party had become the section chief of the Special Disaster Division of the Tokyo Fire Department and lived in Bunkyo Ward.

In terms of learning, the last shortcoming in liberal arts has been made up for by the talent Miki gave him. There is no reason to infer that the novelist's Mandarin is not good enough.

The decoration of the house mainly focuses on sound insulation and heat preservation.

It was convenient to have more people in the bedroom, but soundproofing was a big problem. He didn't want everyone to know about it the next day if he did something in the room. Not to mention the sound insulation of recording studio standards, it must also be done well.

There are so many large floor-to-ceiling windows, which are nice to look at, but the heat loss is too serious, so the windows have all been replaced with triple-layer glass. In the original house, only the lobby on the first floor was covered with a thin layer of gas floor heating. No heating measures were installed in other places. It is not known whether the original air conditioner was removed or what happened.

Yes, Neon people can also get cold, as long as middle-class and above households will install floor heating. Due to the load-bearing nature of wooden houses, dry floor heating will only be installed in places such as living rooms and dining rooms, generally called bed heating.

As for the girls with exposed legs on the street, it is difficult for outsiders to judge whether they are cold or not. Anyway, as far as Hojo Kyosuke knew, Sakura felt cold. But maybe this is because he has taken Sakura with him since he was a child, and kept the two of them tightly wrapped every winter.

But regardless of whether it's cold or not, it's only a short outdoor journey, and large buildings such as trams and schools are all air-conditioned.

However, after Hojo Kyosuke revealed that he had purchased a set of Toshiba's central air-conditioning and floor heating modules, the person in charge of the decoration company was slightly surprised.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to just have a kotatsu in winter?”

This was something he made up in his own mind. How could the person in charge who knew how to read the air say such a thing? He just nodded and said that he would communicate well with the other side.

In addition, there is the bathroom in the bedroom. Based on various considerations, he decided to install a bathroom in every room. In fact, he also struggled for a while, whether to just install a super luxurious bathroom in his room, which should bring a lot more fun to his life in the future.

But then he slapped the dark self in his heart hard. Are you short of money? No shortage! One set per person! Fortunately, the house is big enough, but the decoration company is suffering. But that’s okay, the more you ask for, the more money they make.

In addition to decorating and drawing comics, Hojo Kyosuke would go to Glass and Naoka's apartment to help them with their classes, and Sakura would occasionally come over. Although the results of the three of them have always been very good, at times like this, they are always a little nervous.

In February of middle school, the four of them went to the private Fengzhiqi Academy to take the admissions exam. Hojo Kyousuke was secretly lucky that the school was on holiday for that day, otherwise he would have faced the Shura Field in advance.

In fact, Yinglili and Shiyu-senpai offered to take him for the exam, but he refused because "I'm not a kid."

High schools in Neon are similar to universities. In addition to the county unified examination and the central examination, there is also the school's admissions examination. Public high schools focus on the county unified examination results.

A week later, Toyosaki Academy released the results, and four people passed without any suspense. It would be better to say that even if Hojo Kyosuke submitted a blank paper, the school would have let him pass, because as early as when the application was received, the school had publicized it with great fanfare, trying to take advantage of this "genius beyond the gods once in 500 million light years." To promote enrollment.

This nickname was given to Hojo Kyosuke by "Weekly Bunshun". The Neon people, who have a total history of just over 2,000 years, casually carved out 500 million light years to name a junior high school student. It is hard to imagine what kind of generosity and affection this shows.

In this regard, Hojo Kyosuke had to explain to people around him again that he really did not give advertising fees to "Weekly Bunshun", and he did not even accept an interview request. This inexplicable love was really too much for him to bear.

The passing report was brought to him by Eri Riri, along with the illustrations of "Sword Art Online".

"I drew it based on myself, so thank you with gratitude!" Ying Lili raised her little head proudly and said "Come and praise me, come and praise me" written all over her face.

Well……

If you want to say that this fan drew something based on my face, then I can tell, but it’s hard to tell with Asuna’s plump face and figure.

Hojo Kyosuke rubbed Eiri's little head with a smile on his face, offered the reward with both hands, and then brought a glass of hot milk. Girl, you still need to work harder.

When the house was decorated, it was late March, the graduation season when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

Why neon graduation ceremonies make people feel happy? Apart from the meticulous sense of ceremony, a large part of it lies in the sky full of cherry blossoms. In a season like this, no matter what you do, you will feel happy.

The last semester of the third grade of junior high school ended peacefully. Hojo Kyosuke walked into the school wearing a uniform that had been ironed six times.

His parents, grandparents came to Tokyo three days ago to attend his graduation ceremony. Her mother, Mikiko Hojo, had an absolute advantage and got a seat in the venue to watch the ceremony, while others visited the school.

In the host's introduction, the inexplicably exciting music, and the applause of the parents. The homeroom teacher, whose name has not appeared once in the past three years, but who is definitely a good teacher, is walking in front wearing a solid-colored kimono. Wearing a wrinkle-free black school uniform with a small yellow flower on his chest, Hojo Kyousuke walked into the venue with his classmates from Class 1, Grade 3.

Standing in front of the chairs, teachers and students turned together and bowed to the parents.

Among the group of parents sitting at the back of the venue, Mikiko Hojo was the first to start crying when she saw her son who had grown so tall and handsome, and then the parents around her started crying too, not to be outdone.

Among the students, Hojo Kyousuke's smile is still bright. He knew that on days like this, what his mother wanted to see most was his smile.

After all the students entered and took their seats, the host on the stage began to call the names of the graduates according to the roster. Of course, Hojo Kyosuke was the first one.

As he walked up, Hojo Kyosuke's thoughts couldn't help but wander to when he graduated from elementary school. I vaguely remember that when the head teacher and principal at that time handed me the graduation certificate, their expressions were as happy as waiting for the sun that had not been seen for three months.

When Hojo Kyosuke walked onto the stage, the originally quiet place suddenly burst into violent applause. The classmates who were supposed to walk up behind him also sat motionless and clapped desperately.

These guys...

He grinned, raised his hand and waved vigorously, and then walked to the podium amidst applause.

I took it from the principal, whose name had not appeared in the same three years, but was definitely a good person. I took it...

The principal, who was supposed to hand over the diploma and say "Happy Graduation" softly, didn't let go for some reason, but looked at Hojo Kyousuke with "affectionate" eyes.

"Hojo-kun, are you really not going to stay in Dongjo in high school?"

The principal's affectionate voice echoed throughout the audience. If this student stays, there is no need to worry about his performance in the next three years!

People who had been quiet in the audience started shouting at the top of their lungs when they heard this.

"Minister, please stay and let's go to the national competition together next year, okay!"

"Chief Commander, Dongcheng can't live without you!"

"I really can't accept a school without my big brother!"

…

It was originally full of boys, but now they all shouted, and the closed venue suddenly turned into a star chasing scene.

In the past three years, regardless of whether they were members of the Rampage Angel or the Kendo Club, this generation of the academy was wholeheartedly conquered by the "genius that only meets God once in 500 million light years".

Invincible martial arts, superb learning, and unrivaled handsomeness in all of Neon... Such a peer with countless merits, being in the same teaching building with them every day, doesn't have the slightest bit of arrogance.

Whether it's study, life, or even emotional problems, as long as you ask him for help, you will definitely get selfless help. How could such a person not be admired?

But not everyone has Kisaki's determination to follow his big brother all the way to darkness...to Rome. Whether due to family pressure or future considerations, not many people would refuse as long as they could go directly to Dongcheng High School.

Therefore, those who felt guilty and felt that they had betrayed Hojo Kyosuke began to cry, and tears flowed into their mouths.

In the back row of the venue, the parents who were still crying first felt baffled by the principal's words, and then saw their sons suddenly getting excited, and they were all confused. Because parents' seats correspond to students one-to-one, Hojo Mikiko instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

As if she was possessed by Yinglili, this woman who was crying so much just now raised her white and straight neck high, and then introduced her son to the curious people around her with a humble face.

"Oh, this kid has been acting like this since he was a child. It's not good for him to be too popular."

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, and some familiar classmates' noses almost flowed into their mouths, Hojo Kyosuke quickly took the microphone handed over by the principal:

“If I stay in Dongcheng all the time, I will stagnate and I need new challenges to keep breaking through.

If there is a miracle in this world, it is just another name for hard work. Without me, Dongcheng is still the invincible Dongcheng. That is an honor achieved through everyone's hard work.

I look forward to seeing you all again at Tokyo University. "

Then Kyousuke Hojo took a rare forty-five-degree bow and walked off the stage.

The next people who walked on stage were all visibly sobbing. Fortunately, the school uniforms were black and the traces of tears soaked could not be seen clearly. If this were a blue school uniform, it would look ugly.

After the graduation certificates were distributed, the school song was sung. Everyone stood up and turned to face their parents. After the conductor took his place, everyone spoke together.

Everyone sang very hard, including Hojo Kyousuke. That's the good thing about boys' middle schools. Even people who are tone-deaf can blend in with the crowd and show off their singing skills.

"Love and tears, you will know, are at the end of the maze, called hope, full of confidence. The more I understand sadness, the kinder I will be. Goddess of time, please tell me if you can't hold hands..."

Tojo's school song is very nice and tear-jerking. At least Hojo Kyosuke almost cried when he heard it. Although in the end he touched the corners of his eyes and realized that it was just his imagination.

Play videos, including videos of kendo competitions, sports festivals, school trips...

Finally, a golden paper ball suddenly exploded above the stage, and the note with graduation greetings fell down.

After the group photo was taken, after Hojo Kyousuke kicked away a few funny bastards who wanted to ask for his buttons, his junior high school was officially over.
