Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand and accompanied by three beautiful girls, Hojo Kyosuke has undoubtedly become the most eye-catching presence on this street.

The four of them did not enter through the north gate of the sports ground, but came to the ghost slope sandwiched between the sports ground and the Wakei School building. This is the stage that appeared in Haruki Murakami's "Norwegian Wood".

Compared with the clean streets outside, this place is more like a tunnel built among the trees. On the left is the iron guardrail of Mejirodai Park. Through the gap between the guardrail and the trees, you can see pedestrians walking in twos and threes inside.

On the right is the high wall of the school building. Even the students cannot climb over the wall. However, the green bamboo sticks its head out comfortably, scattering bamboo leaves all over the ground. These fallen leaves will not be cleared until tomorrow morning, but now they add a sense of wildness to pedestrians.

The moon had not yet fully risen, and the lights from the park and the schoolhouse were not enough to illuminate the narrow path. Hojo Kyosuke finally knew why this road was called Ghost Slope.

It is obviously a spring breeze that is so gentle that even the clouds cannot move it. As soon as it enters the ghost slope, it will cause the bamboo forest on the side to make a sound like rain. Coupled with the tall crown of the tree that blocks the moonlight, it does seem that it will come from the wall next to it at any time. Two ghosts floated out.

Under the cold moonlight, Hojo Kyosuke, holding a bouquet of lilies in one hand, looked at the three girls in front of him.

Both Sakura and Glass were wearing long pants and long sleeves, but Naohana was still wearing shorts, exposing her two slender and round thighs, and her fair skin became more and more delicate under the faint light.

Will it be cold if you direct flowers?

Someone worried out of habit, but then he thought that Zhihua was an extremely orthodox neon girl who didn't even bother to wear cotton pantyhose in winter, so he gave up the idea of ​​speeding up to a crowded place.

"Nitro-chan, I seem to hear some strange noise."

Sakura, who had been staring at the guardrail as if trying to find a ghost, suddenly hugged Nishimiya Glass's arm and said in a trembling voice. The little head was still looking around, with panic on his face.

Zhihua on the far left rolled her eyes and continued walking minding her own business.

"Maybe it's a crow?" Glass thought for a moment and said.

"No, it's that kind of scary sound, and it seems like someone is blowing air on the back of the neck. It's cool." Sakura said this, and quietly waved to Hojo Kyosuke behind him, indicating that the person blowing air should come on. .

But someone also rolled his eyes in his heart and was determined not to participate in the persecution of Glass.

"Sakura, are you wearing too little? Do you want me to lend you your coat?" Glass said softly, as if he had no idea what Sakura was going to say.

"No, it's..."

"Idiot Sakura, with Kyousuke here, how could Glass be frightened by your lame horror story?" Naohua said.

Glass, who was holding back her laughter, finally burst out laughing. Not to mention it was just a ghost, even if the world ended, she would not be afraid at all as long as Kyousuke-kun was by her side.

"I'll be scared! I've decided to watch a horror movie tonight, a super scary one!" Sakura-sama said loudly, as proudly as if he was delivering a speech about becoming the champion of a cowardly contest.

The energetic voices of the three girls instantly brightened up the dark alley.

Walk through the Ghost Slope and enter from the south gate of Mejirodai Park. There are many children playing wild balls on the large baseball field, and the basketball court is also very lively.

Of course, the fact that this neighborhood became a high-end residential street was not only due to the deaths of a few literary figures. The park where Hojo Kyosuke and his four friends are now located is actually part of the Tanaka Kakuei family residence. After his death, the family was unable to pay the huge inheritance tax. , only part of the property could be sold, and it became the current Mejirodai Park.

Coincidentally, the Higo Hosokawa Garden further south has been completely transformed into a park.

When they got home, several people were carrying some snacks and midnight snacks in their hands.

Hojo Kyosuke took out the cleaned vase, filled it with water, inserted the lilies in it, and adjusted the position at will to make her look more pleasing to the eye.

Sitting on the thick carpet and leaning against the soft sofa, the four of them moaned in comfort.

Opening the home theater, Sakura took out the CD she had prepared.

"Do you really want to see this?"

Hojo Kyousuke's expression was a little distorted. Although watching a horror movie with three beautiful girls looked like Master Sakura was giving him a welfare, the key to the problem was that he didn't watch horror movies himself! It's not that he's afraid, it's just that he doesn't like things that aren't beautiful. If he's looking for sensory stimulation, he has better choices.

The movie is "Saw" that everyone knows, but none of the four people present have seen it. Sakura was the loudest, but she had never seen a horror movie before. Glass and Naohua, on the other hand, do not live in families where they have the leisure to watch movies.

"Uh...well..."

Hearing Hojo Kyosuke's question, the arrogant Sakura-sama hesitated for a moment.

"Just look at this!" Naohua immediately became excited when she saw Sakura's appearance.

Glass sat between Hojo Kyosuke and Naoka, huddled together.

"Let's watch something fun. How about "Home Alone"? It's suitable for a family to watch." Hojo Kyosuke made the decision.

Although everyone had watched this series of movies many times in Pratunam, they still received unanimous approval instantly. In elementary school, junior high school, and high school, in this home that belongs to them, everyone watches movies that bring countless laughter, which just sounds very meaningful.

The temperature dropped slightly at night, but the room was still warm. Glass brought a large blanket and covered everyone's feet. Although there is air conditioning, it is better to cover yourself with a blanket at this time.

It was like watching it for the first time, and the laughter in the living room never stopped. Laughter gradually raised the temperature, and the fragrance of lilies gradually spread in the room. The huge space disperses the strong aroma, making it light and pleasant.

Hojo Kyousuke sipped the water in the cup and felt like what he drank was like lilies.

Considering that I have to go for a physical examination tomorrow, I can't eat anything in the morning. He chose to turn a blind eye to Sakura's behavior of eating snacks vigorously.

After watching "Home Alone 1", a few people who were still not satisfied watched the second one, and then announced that the first movie viewing party of the Hojo family was over.

After putting away the curtain, Sakura and Naoka packed up the things in the living room, and Hojo Kyosuke accompanied Glass to the courtyard to water the flowers and trees.

In fact, Hojo Kyosuke is only responsible for standing aside and watching, while Glass can complete the work by himself. The water in the courtyard is well water, and the water used to water the flowers is also well water drawn by a small water pump.

The grass was very cool at night, so Glass put on a pair of plastic slippers and pulled the yellow water pipe to water each plant carefully.

Why does Glass like this courtyard so much? Hojo Kyosuke guessed it was because she had lived in a building since she was a child, unlike Sakura and the others who lived in one house.

Or maybe it's because Glass himself is just like those flowers, delicate and beautiful but fragile.

Just like young and beautiful girls, Hojo Kyosuke likes delicate flowers and likes to give flowers to the people he likes.

He was grateful to his mother, Mikiko Hojo, who stayed alone in Minato City to take care of him for his growth, but he was not the kind of person who could directly say "Mom, I love you", so he chose to send flowers. He couldn't hold the flowers and say to his mother, "May you always be as beautiful as flowers." He couldn't do it, so he could only put the flowers into the vase.

Beautiful things make people happy physically and mentally, but Hojo Kyosuke never explores the meaning of the act of sending flowers. Just the act of "sending flowers" is already very romantic and does not need any more elaboration. Before the birth of writing, humans have been using flowers to express goodwill. Countless years have passed, and this behavior still continues. Just thinking about it for a moment makes me feel so romantic.

and……

He turned back to look at Sakura, who was holding a bag of garbage at the door and preparing to throw it away tomorrow. He stopped when he passed the dining table and looked at Lily with a silly smile. After her, Zhihua also came to Lily and lowered her head to smell it carefully, her face full of intoxication.

People who receive flowers for many reasons should feel loved.

He has a lot of money, so much that he can give every girl a roomful of flowers every day. But that would be rude, as now, everyone could see him, and everyone could assume it was for her.

And what he, Hojo Kyosuke, received was a room full of the most beautiful flowers in the world.

Sakura and Naohua had already gone upstairs to wash up, and Glass went to the bathroom on the first floor to wash his hands first.

"Kyosuke-kun..."

The girl with her little head lowered walked up to Hojo Kyousuke and shouted loudly.

"What's wrong?"

Hojo Kyosuke, who was intoxicated by the girl's fragrance, smiled and touched Glass's head.

"That's it, that's it..." Jiazi raised his head, his face flushed, and his eyes filled with spring water.

"Are you hungry?"

Seeing the girl's appearance, Hojo Kyousuke guessed. Because before watching the movie, everyone was eating snacks and late-night snacks, but only Nizi didn't eat at all. But what he didn't expect was that the girl's reaction was astonishing.

"no!"

After shouting this, Glass quickly turned around and looked upstairs. After confirming that there was no sound of opening the door, he breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest in fear.

"Haha, what's going on? Are you worried about the seiyuu agency?" Hojo Kyosuke took Glass's hand, took her to sit on the sofa, and asked softly in a lower tone.

"Woo~~~"

Listening to Kyousuke-kun's voice and looking into those tender black eyes, Glass, who was extremely shy, covered his face with both hands and let out a cute whimpering sound from his nose.

Hojo Kyosuke said nothing, waiting patiently for Glass to calm down.

Half a minute later, Glass finally made up his mind, stood up, took a step to the left, and came to Hojo Kyosuke. Although her face was still rosy, her expression was tense. The two emotions of shyness and seriousness appeared on the cute little face at the same time, which really made Hojo Kyosuke a feast for the eyes.

"Nizi, do you want to..."

Just as someone was about to say a few nonsense words, her wrist was suddenly pulled by Jiazi, and then rested on her soft belly. His palm was a bit big for the girl's petite body, and the fingers of his hand that were supposed to only cover her belly were stretched higher up.

Um?

Nijiang, when did you become so brave? Feeling the girl's warm body, Hojo Kyosuke looked at Glass in surprise.

"Kyosuke-kun, have I really gained weight?" She asked with tears in her eyes the question she had been worried about all night.

"Hahaha."

Hojo Kyousuke burst out laughing, then withdrew his hand, pulled Glass back to sit beside him again, and rubbed her little head vigorously.

"Have you been worrying about this all night?" This silly girl, no wonder she didn't eat snacks before. She is so cute and stupid.

"Well..." Glass was still in a low mood and frustrated. How can you still eat when you are already fat? You can’t even drink water after 12 noon!

"I haven't gained weight at all, and my belly feels great. I can't wait to go to summer and take you to the beach with me to play in the water." Hojo Kyosuke said with a smile, still in his standard praise mode.

"No, no, you can't go to the beach. Just put a huge inflatable swimming pool at home. Or you can rent a vacation island." Imagining the beautiful scene, someone's mind instantly flew away.

"Really? But Sakura's waist is much thinner than mine."

Glass, who has always had unconditional trust in Hojo Kyousuke, actually raised questions again. It seems that even Glass is still a standard little girl in terms of her love for beauty. In other words, you care too much about your image in front of the person you like.

"Well, this is it."

Even Hojo Kyosuke couldn't deny that Sakura's slender waist that occasionally showed up from the hem of her clothes was really beautiful.

"I should really lose weight." Seeing the man pause, Jiazi's voice took on a crying tone.

"Hahaha, there's no such thing." The unscrupulous person stopped teasing Glass:

"In April when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, we will love the vibrant appearance of the cherry blossom trees, and we will also be shocked by the beauty of the fallen cherry blossoms. Those are just two forms of beauty. There is no need to worry about which one is more beautiful."

"Then it's time for my cherry blossoms to wither..." The girl who was caught in emotions longed for more comfort and recognition.

Nijiang, you have become bad.

Looking at Nishimiya Glass who was leaning against him in a funny way, Hojo Kyosuke felt funny in his heart.

"Ni-chan is the most beautiful right now. There is no need to lose weight at all! I like it so much!" Someone told the girl a spell that can make her have sweet dreams.

"This, that's it~~" Although she just wanted to hear Kyousuke-kun's praise, Glass was still extremely shy when she suddenly heard such words.

"Okay, go wash up and go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow."

"Yeah!" The girl who had just been so embarrassed instantly regained her energy.

After saying good night, the three of them went back to their rooms. When Hojo Kyousuke quietly opened the door after taking a shower, the three rooms surrounding him were already quiet.

Go to the room on the left and gently turn the doorknob. Just like what the decoration company employee said, it was so silky smooth that he could only hear inaudible sounds with his hearing.

The light that had just been sealed by the door appeared, and Sakura, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed in white pajamas, immediately raised her arms in excitement and made a move.

"Hurry up, hurry up, you're so slow, Kyosuke!" the girl shouted in a smaller voice than usual.

"Idiot, keep your voice down!" Hojo Kyousuke closed the door lightly.

"What does it matter? I've tried it a long time ago. Even if I slap the wall hard, you won't hear it over there." Even so, Sakura still spoke at a lower volume.

But I always feel like I’m doing something bad! Hojo Kyosuke cursed in his heart.

"Okay, lie down quickly and cover yourself with the quilt." He lifted Sakura's quilt and motioned to the girl who was still very energetic to lie down in it obediently.

"Oh~~" Sakura agreed in a long tone, without pulling the quilt over her, but staring at Hojo Kyosuke with her big bright yellow eyes.

"Have you returned to your infancy?" Hojo Kyosuke helped Sakura cover herself with the quilt.

Sakura stretched out both hands, grabbed the quilt and pulled it up until her mouth was covered. Then he stopped retracting his hand and just looked at his childhood sweetheart expectantly.

Looking at the girl's appearance, Hojo Kyousuke smiled fondly, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the hair aside from her face.

Pick up the remote control from the bedside table, dim the lights, take out your phone, and open a document.

"Then I'm going to start." In the dark and quiet room, Hojo Kyousuke's clear voice became softer and softer, like silk sliding over smooth skin.

"Hmm~" A small voice came from under the quilt, and his beautiful big eyes were still staring at the boy sitting sideways on the bed without blinking.

"Um?"

The big eyes finally closed reluctantly.

Looking at Sakura's peaceful little face, Hojo Kyousuke nodded with satisfaction, swallowed, and was about to start reading the story in the document in the softest voice he could speak.

Yes, he was going to tell Sakura a bedtime story, just like he did when he was a kid.

After Sakura woke up from the nightmare, she rushed straight to his bed with a rabbit doll and sat on his stomach, crying loudly about the horror of the nightmare while waking him up. It was from that time on that his great literary talent was exercised and he began to make up bedtime stories.

"Will Kyousuke still protect me when I have nightmares in the future?"

"Um"

"Kyosuke, will you still tell me stories when we grow up?"

"Um"

"It must be a super interesting story!"

"Well...that's too much to ask for. Please close your eyes quickly."

In this way, the two reached a permanent agreement.

Now, coming to his new home, Sakura-sama decided to restore the beautiful tradition as soon as possible.

"I am a shark that cannot eat salt, I cannot eat it at all!" Kyousuke Hojo sang softly, imitating a simple and honest voice:

"My parents were so worried about me that they moved our family away from the sea and came to this forest when I was very young."

"Then he can't become a salted fish?"

"As long as you show off enough, anyone can become a salty fish."

Hojo Kyousuke, who had just brewed his emotions, retorted reflexively, and then raised an eyebrow and looked at Sakura who opened his eyes again.

"Go to sleep, now we are telling a bedtime story, not a book club."

"Oh~~" Sakura responded sweetly, and then closed her eyes again.

"I don't have much yearning for the sea, because this lake is very good. I like it very much (I won't say that I like the clownfish family here). The water here is sweet, and the aquatic plants are more delicious than seaweed (except My mother said it was made by Mr. Island Whale), and of course, the most delicious one is the waterweed cake made by Auntie Clownfish.”

"Do sharks eat water plants?" Sakura asked.

"Well, it's not unacceptable for a shark that can't eat salt to learn to eat water plants, right?"

Hojo Kyosuke explained, and did not ask Sakura to continue to close her eyes, because he knew that was impossible. For Sakura, the role of bedtime stories is to wash away all the messy and bad things during the day with childish and cute stories.

He continued telling the story:

"Xiao Mo, what are you thinking about?"

A small voice sounded in Little Shark's ears, and he quickly turned to look beside him.

"Hey!" exclaimed, "Murray, what are you doing? You've knocked me off my feet!"

Hearing this sound, Little Shark Murray immediately looked nervous and stayed there motionless as if he was playing with a one-two-three wooden man.

"Really! Xiao Mo, don't you know you are a big guy?"

A small red and white clownfish swam up in front of Murray the little shark's big nose, pointed at him with its pink fins and said.

"I'm sorry, Yiyi, I forgot." Little Shark scratched his head with his hand, looking honest.

"Huh, I'm really pissed off by you." The clownfish said angrily, with his hands on his hips.

"Hehehe." Little Shark Murray continued to laugh naively.

"Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo, let me tell you, yesterday I swam as deep as one-fifth of the height of a waterweed!"

By the way, Yiyi's family also moved from the sea. Yiyi is even worse than me. He just can't eat salt. Yiyi is a deep sea phobia patient. But regarding Yiyi's illness, Little Shark Murray was actually secretly happy. If it hadn't been for this, he wouldn't have known Yiyi.

Murray quietly glanced at the little fish beside his mouth. It was really small and cute.

Sakura listened attentively, her amber eyes still so bright, and she didn't look sleepy at all. But she didn't come back to her senses until Kyousuke Hojo pressed the power button on her phone and the light from the screen on her face disappeared.

"So, can unfortunate people also find happiness because of their misfortune?"

A small, dull sound came from under the quilt. Sakura, who had refused to close her eyes just now, took the initiative to close her eyes now.

"The point is that everyone will be happy in the end, Sakura."

Hojo Kyosuke leaned forward and kissed Sakuraa gently on her forehead.

"Well! Good night, Kyosuke~" Sakura stretched out her arms, hugged Hojo Kyosuke's neck, and pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead.

Pushing Sakura's messy hair above her head again, Hojo Kyousuke pressed the remote control to turn off the lights completely, and slowly walked out of the room.

Back in his room and lying on the bed, Hojo Kyousuke found that he was not sleepy at all. How can this be? He loves sleeping so much! Is the world going to end tomorrow?

No, tomorrow is just a day to receive another piece of good news.

It has been two and a half years since his last physical examination, and he has made an appointment for tomorrow's physical examination. Precise physical examinations cannot be done frequently, otherwise you will get sick even if you are not sick. The best time is once every two to three years.

Sakura had never said she had a stomachache or anything, she must be in good health. She looks like a track and field athlete, but aren't everyone still envious of her figure today? As long as you exercise well, eat well, and stay away from junk food, your body will stay healthy. How about not going for a physical examination tomorrow and wait until three years have passed before going in, otherwise problems may arise if the interval is too short. Hospital charges have not increased at all. Is it because the technology is lagging behind...

In the darkness, endless Bodhidharma surrounded Hojo Kyosuke, who was struck by distracting thoughts like a roly-poly. They shouted loudly: "Hey, did you pray to us properly? Did you pray piously? Did you give us the sesame oil money? ?”

Of course I prayed hard and seriously! Now there is a row of Bodhidharma for all diseases and disasters placed beside the bed!

Hojo Kyosuke responded loudly in his heart, right? He was a little unsure, and the endless darkness swallowed up his sanity.

He let out a heavy breath and sat up. Opening the curtains, the bright moonlight immediately generously shone in. Looking at the plants below that seemed to emit light fluorescence under the moonlight, the annoyance in his heart was slightly relieved.

He walked out of the room with bare feet. Even though he was full of irritation, he still moved gently and made almost no sound as he walked.

Opening the sliding glass door of the living room, he walked down, came to the small maple tree that was struggling to grow, and slept on the lawn.

The moon seems to be particularly bright tonight, illuminating the veins of the leaves clearly. Not only the moon, but also the stars seemed to be shining brightly.

It's really strange. Do you want to steal the limelight from the moon? I shouldn't be able to see you at this time.

Hojo Kyosuke easily found Orion, which is a constellation composed of four bright stars forming a large quadrilateral with three bright stars diagonally connected in a straight line in the middle. It is also the only constellation he knows. Because in the winter, which he hates, Orion is the only overlord in the sky, and it is amazingly bright. His shine represents the coming of winter.

Why call him Orion? Could it be that those three stars are the pistols on his waist...

The boy who stayed up most of the night was studying the stars, while the girl who also walked out of the room late at night leaned against the wall and looked at the people covered in moonlight.

Sakura was not woken up by Hojo Kyosuke, that kind of thing was impossible to happen. Because as soon as you close your eyes, his face will appear, his voice will echo, and you can fall asleep peacefully just thinking about him.

But whenever she thinks about tomorrow's physical examination, Sakura will feel uneasy. Kyousuke's story-telling voice slowly faded away in her mind, and she even felt a stomachache.

There was pain an inch below the ribs on the left side, pain just below the navel, and then an incredible pain in the spine.

That's too much. Are you bullying me just because I don't know where the pancreas is? Sakura thought angrily, it's impossible that the unfortunate pancreas is all over the body, right?

Thinking like this, she inexplicably opened the quilt, put on her slippers inexplicably, walked out of the room inexplicably, and saw Hojo Kyosuke of course.

Kyousuke, are you worried again?

Looking at the big boy lying on the grass below, Sakura raised the corner of her mouth. My body, which was aching everywhere just now due to nervousness, suddenly became extremely comfortable.

You idiot, if you want to be nervous, I am the only one who is nervous. How can you be nervous for me without permission! This is a rare experience.

But since you've already been nervous tonight, don't go to the hospital tomorrow. I won't be able to hold you if you're so nervous that you pass out.

Sakura thought so.

How does it feel to know that you may be dying?

Yamauchi Sakura can tell you clearly that she is scared to death. Just thinking about it makes my body tremble uncontrollably, and a bone-breaking coldness surrounds my whole person. No matter how many quilts I put on it, it doesn't work.

How does it feel when another person knows that you may be dying?

Yamauchi Sakura can tell you clearly that she is happy to death. Just thinking about someone who cares about you so much, because you may die and you are so nervous that you can't sleep and run to the lawn to count the stars. Looking at his cute look, your whole body will be surrounded by sweet happiness.

So, it’s better not to go to the hospital with Kyousuke tomorrow. If that news really comes out, let me keep it safe for myself. Kyosuke, just be as usual, you value me now to the most perfect degree.

If something like that really happened, Sakura couldn't imagine what Kyosuke would do. The person who would seriously say "you can try harder" even if she was daydreaming about it and wanted to win the Nobel Prize.

At that time, I will probably give up my studies immediately and enter a medical university. I will spend all day in the library, as if I want to crush myself to death with scratch paper and medical books. I will study hard and single-handedly push human medical technology to the level where it can be achieved. To the point of 100% cure for pancreatic cancer.

Even Sakura has thought of the line "Nothing can take Yamauchi Sakura away from me, no matter fate or anything, I will chop them all into pieces!"

"Hehe, no, he looks a bit handsome."

Thinking of this, Sakura couldn't help but raise her hands to hold her face, and then looked at Hojo Kyosuke below, showing a silly smile that was almost overflowing with happiness.

The annoyance in her heart was all driven away by the sweetness and happiness. Sakura looked at her childhood sweetheart with gentle eyes and said good night softly. Then he walked back to the room, covered himself with a quilt, and fell into a dream in less than half a minute, with a smile always on his lips.

Friday

Just like yesterday morning, when Hojo Kyosuke woke up, it was still dark and gray, and it was not yet six o'clock.

After putting on sports shorts and quick-drying clothes, he carefully opened the door. Unsurprisingly, the three girls were still asleep. He didn't plan to practice kendo today, but wanted to go for a run.

He went not to the sports ground in Mejirodai Park, but to the Visual Support School Affiliated to the University of Tsukuba, which was less than a hundred meters away from his home. Generally speaking, outsiders like him are not allowed to enter the school during holidays.

But this is still Bunkyo District. He just asked Qisaki to come forward and negotiate with the people from the kendo club of the school, and got a special pass at the expense of occasionally instructing them in kendo.

Therefore, you should go to bed in the morning. The dry air full of carbon dioxide is cool, and it seems to take away people's energy when inhaled into the lungs. But maybe it’s because I’m tired from running.

While running, Hojo Kyosuke was thinking wildly.

There is a small shop in front of the school that says it was opened in 1986. It sells croquettes. It is a fried patty mixed with meat and vegetables. Hojo Kyosuke dares to use his sixteen years of experience in eating beef to guarantee that it is definitely high-grade beef.

The aroma of oil mixed with meat kept drifting into his nose, causing him to unconsciously deviate from the route and walk that way.

"Good morning~ Do you want anything?" The boss wearing a white chef hat greeted enthusiastically.

"No, no, come back next time." Someone showed a hard smile and couldn't eat. He was going to have a physical examination soon!

When he returned to the mansion, the quick-drying clothes on his body were completely dry. He opened the courtyard door, walked to the house door, and took a deep breath.

How about shouting "I'm back", waking up Sakura and the others, and then hearing the response they have been waiting for for so many years.

After struggling for a few seconds, he decided to give up.

But after opening the door, he still shouted softly:

"I'm back."

"Welcome home!"

Almost instantly, Sakura's figure magically appeared at the door. Wearing a white sportswear, she stood at the entrance, bowed slightly, and said in an extremely gentle voice the words that had appeared in Hojo Kyousuke's dreams countless times.

Then he straightened up, with his hands still folded on his lower abdomen, and looked at him with eyes as pure as amber, with a sweet smile on his face that could make a person never need to eat for a lifetime.
