Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

"...and the office building I was optimistic about before, all the procedures have been completed, and the decoration company will submit the design plan within two weeks. That's probably it."

Kisaki Tetsuta closed the notepad, pushed up his glasses and said, then looked at his elder brother, waiting for the next instruction.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kisaki. Let's have some tea."

Hojo Kyosuke said casually while sleeping on the recliner.

Seeing her elder brother's laziness, Xisaki sighed helplessly, picked up the osmanthus tea on the table and took a sip:

"Although the purchase has been completed, I still want to emphasize that there is really no need to purchase office buildings directly. Whether it is from the perspective of company development or investment, purchasing such office buildings is not the right choice. The company will definitely grow in the future , it is necessary to move to a more prosperous area and replace it with a larger office building.

If you want to invest, the yield on this office building is only 4.6%. With the current economic situation, I can't see the possibility of improvement in the next five years. "

"But there is no risk. For things like buying a house, you have to take a long-term view. Five years is not enough. You have to look at at least the next ten years. You are still too young, Kisaki."

"But Hojo, don't forget that the money to buy the office building came from a bank loan, and the annual interest is not a small amount."

“Isn’t this part offset by rent?”

"..." Although his reason told Qisaki that this was wrong, he still felt that it made sense for the first time.

"No, after all, you shouldn't spend large sums of money purchasing real estate in the early stages of a company's business!"

"This is an empty office building without any lease contract. It's so rare. If you see it, you must get it as soon as possible."

But in Suginami-ku, there are so many office buildings available for rent in an entire building.

These words rolled around Tetsuta Kisaki's lips for a few times and finally he swallowed them. Although the eldest brother has unparalleled talents in certain fields, he is still too messy. That’s nearly 400 million yen. If it were used to make animation, it would already be able to produce a top-level movie.

"'Sword Art Online' will be published soon. If you want, you can pay off the loan directly. In that case, it can be said to be a pure profit in terms of rent savings. It will generate income before formal operations have started. It really has a lot to do."

Hojo Kyosuke waved his hand. If he didn't want to keep some funds on hand for consumption, the money in his bank account would not be enough to buy it. The original deposit, which had been reduced to more than 200 million after buying a house and renovating it, recovered to 300 million after the autograph signing.

"..."

Well, judging from the talent and hard work of the eldest brother, even a little chaos will not affect the overall situation. He has the qualification to be willful. Moreover, wasn't it precisely because of his unreasonable strength that he decided to follow him? At least now, his 1% share has expanded rapidly.

Kisaki stopped talking, put the notepad on the table, and leaned back on the chair like Hojo Kyousuke, holding a teacup and enjoying the peace and quiet of the night.

All the landscape lights in the courtyard are still not turned on. Just the solar floor lights that light up under the plants are enough to provide comfortable lighting.

The lush branches of the cherry blossom tree are covered with cherry blossoms. Under the illumination of the ground lamp, the white petals seem to be glowing with light fluorescence, glowing like clouds and clouds, with a mysterious beauty. Because of her presence, the entire courtyard looks incredibly beautiful.

Edo Higan Sakura, only today did Hojo Kyosuke know why it had such a name. If there was really a boatman on the Santu River, he must be standing under such a cherry blossom tree and waiting quietly.

On the other side of the round table, Tetsuta Kisaki was also looking at the cherry blossom tree.

Spring is full of night cherries, summer is full of stars, autumn is full of moonlight, and winter is full of snow.

(See the night cherry blossoms in spring, the stars in summer, the full moon in autumn, and the first snow in winter)

Just as the eldest brother had promised, in the spring three years after they met, the two of them were in such a mansion, sipping osmanthus tea and watching the night cherry blossoms.

The two of them were sitting on chairs and lounge chairs respectively. In the middle was a white folding round table, with a glass teapot on it containing light yellow osmanthus tea. There was very little wind in the quiet courtyard, and only the faint chatter of pedestrians on the street outside could be heard. The entire field of vision was filled with the fluorescent cherry blossom tree. It was quiet and peaceful. Kisaki had never imagined such a day.

It's great. Following my eldest brother is indeed the most correct choice in my life.

Although he complained that his eldest brother took so long to invite him and others to a housewarming party, Tetsuta Kisaki, who knew his eldest brother's temperament well, was still very satisfied. Naturally, he was not the only one who came today. Everyone who was close to the organization came, but they have all gone back now. He was the only one who still had something to report, so he stayed until now.

"This cherry blossom is the weeping cherry blossom among the cherry blossoms on the other side of Edo, right?" Kisaki asked.

"Well, how is it? It's beautiful, isn't it?" Hojo Kyosuke opened his squinted eyes and turned to ask Kisaki.

"Weeping cherry blossoms do have a beauty that Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms don't have, but if I remember correctly, this should be a variety from Kyoto, right?"

The eldest brother, who has always been lazy, did not leave the troublesome task of decorating the house to him. This was something that Qisaki did not expect. You should know that he started to teach himself gardening and decoration early on.

"Yes, I personally went to Kyoto to select it. It is said that it is a direct descendant of Takayama Kamiyo Sakura." When mentioning this, Hojo Kyosuke even sat up straight.

"It's really rare for you to have such leisurely feelings." Xisaki said in surprise.

"Haha, you, Xisaki, who was single since birth, wouldn't understand this kind of thing."

"..." Tetsuta Kisaki's youthful love story will inevitably unfold in high school!

"Someone in the organization is already asking whether to expand the chassis to Toshima District. After all, there is no reason for the president to study on someone else's chassis." Kisaki asked.

"You can just decide on that kind of thing, or how about you, Kisaki, directly serve as the third-generation president? After all, I think you shouldn't play that kind of game after graduating from junior high school." Hojo Kyosuke lay down again bored. .

"That won't work. If you don't have your signature as the commander-in-chief, the Rampage Angel and Wenjing District will soon fall into chaos again."

Although his previous dream was said to be a game, Qisaki was not angry at all, because he knew clearly that such bad things were really just a child's game to his elder brother. In the beginning, the organization could provide some assistance to the elder brother, but now that assistance is very little.

As for the Rampage Angel, although as the second-generation general leader, Hojo Kyosuke did not seem to have made any contribution except for the first two solo groups and the guidance of the Tojo Kendo Club. But that's not the case. As long as the eldest brother remains the president, all members will continue to enjoy his blessings.

Hojo Kyosuke is like a sign, standing high in the sky like the sun. No matter who can see him, they can feel the scorching heat. No organization dares to step into their territory, only a steady stream of people join in hoping for that power.

"It's really troublesome." Someone who hadn't attended a rally in almost half a year sighed.

The fun of cherry blossom viewing was half gone. Hojo Kyosuke stretched out his hand to pick up the tea cup, but suddenly stopped.

The light from the living room created a shadow on the back of the tea cup, but at this moment, the shadow had a slightly darker color.

It's an ant, with a small body and two tentacles on its head that are constantly moving, exploring where the sweet smell in the air comes from. Its head stuck out of the shadow, touched the white light of the living room, and then shivered back. After lingering in place for a while, it crawled towards the cup.

First its tentacles reached the cup body, and then it climbed up firmly. It's amazing how easy it is to climb up such a slippery cup.

On the cyan glass teacup, the black ants seemed to blend into the black lines, becoming a mountain climber.

He is really old and strong. Looking at the vigorous pace of the other party, someone admired in his heart. He knows that the ants responsible for searching for food are usually older and experienced worker ants.

Climbing to the middle, its tentacles will shake again, as if to confirm the direction. Finally, the ant climbed onto the edge of the cup, and the antennae on its head began to shake rapidly. I don’t know if I am happy or if I am further exploring the content of honey in the osmanthus tea.

If it were Sakura, she would have hidden the cup immediately after Ant came home to report the news. Thinking this, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"Eh? Why are there ants?" Kisaki Tetsuta finally noticed something strange about his elder brother, and stretched out his hand to help him deal with the uninvited guests.

"Don't move." Hojo Kyosuke stretched out his hand to block it.

Seeing that the ants were about to crawl down the inner wall of the teacup, he picked up his phone, took a photo, edited it, and sent it.

On the other side, in the ward, Sakura had just been woken up by the nurse and didn't know what kind of injection she had received. Sakura, who couldn't sleep for a while, heard the ringtone of her cell phone and quickly took it.

"An ant crawled onto my cup, and I thought it was greedy Sakura." - Hojo Kyosuke

In the picture, a little ant is standing on the rim of a blue glass teacup with an embarrassing look in its eyes.

"Pfft...wahahahaha——"

Although her whole body ached, when she saw the message for the first time, Yamauchi Sakura burst out laughing. After the wound was involved, she suddenly grinned in pain, but she smiled even happier.

When Maki Yamauchi, who was taking care of her daughter in the hospital, saw this, she knew without thinking that it must be the message from Hojo Kyosuke. Seeing her daughter's happy face, she couldn't help but want to cry. The operation had been over for several days, and her daughter was sleeping every day. Although she knew that she was recovering quickly, seeing her daughter who was full of energy in the past become like this, the sadness in her heart continued to accumulate.

But she couldn't cry, because that would make her daughter very embarrassed. As a mother, how could she comfort her sick daughter.

"I'm going out for a while." She whispered, preparing to leave some space for her daughter.

"Yeah, thank you, mom." Sakura said happily.

She wanted to press the call button out of habit, but thinking that her weak voice would definitely arouse Kyousuke's suspicion, she switched to sending a message.

"Wow!! You actually called me an ant, that's too much! I'm angry, super angry!" - Yamauchi Sakura

Along with the message, there was also an emoticon, which was a photo of Sakura puffing up her cheeks angrily and pointing her green little finger at the camera.

Yamauchi Sakura has a whole set of emoticons to deal with various situations. Of course, she will only send them to a few three or four people.

After reading the news, the smile on Hojo Kyousuke's face became softer and his fingers clicked on the screen a little less vigorously.

So what does ants have to do with love? Why can such a big brother smile so much for just such an ant?

Looking at his elder brother, Tetsuta Kisaki was filled with questions. Shouldn't he write it down in his memo to call a pest control company tomorrow? Sure enough, I still need to continue to learn from my elder brother on the journey of love.

"But Sakura is a glutton."

"Although I'm a glutton, it's too hurtful to say this. I don't care, I'll make you sing a song for me!"

Under the fluorescent light of the screen, Sakura's face was full of longing. She missed him, wanted to hear his voice, wanted to see his face, and even wanted to trace his eyebrows, bridge of nose, lips with her fingers...

Looking at the message sent by Sakura, with a stern expression on his waist, Hojo Kyousuke hesitated again and looked at Tetsuta Kisaki next to him.

"Kisaki!"

"Hi! What's the matter, big brother?" Looking at the serious expression on his big brother's face, Qisaki replied quickly.

"Next you will see my biggest secret. Can you help me keep this secret?"

"Of course! You can always trust me!" Qisaki patted his chest vigorously. Although he didn't know why things turned out like this in an instant, his loyalty to his elder brother would never change!

"Well, that's it, that's good..."

Hojo Kyosuke pondered in a low voice, then looked up at the second floor. Glass's window was open, and she was watching cartoons in the room, which was one of their lesson plans. Of course, the main thing to learn is the basic vocal skills.

But that's not the point. The point is that if you sing, you will be heard by Glass. Although she had known for a long time that her singing was unpleasant, she was still very embarrassed.

He took one last deep look at Kisaki, who swallowed hard, and a sense of mission surrounded Kisaki.

Pressing the record button, he took a deep breath and sang:

"The red sun sank in the desert. The big monster lived there leisurely every day. One morning, I woke up and saw a group of camels walking from a distance..."

Kisaki Tetsu's too serious expression began to break down the moment Hojo Kyousuke opened his mouth. Before he could finish the sentence, he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and fell into pain.

Three years of total career and countless experiences in society not only gave Hojo Kyosuke the psychological quality to face book fans and the media without changing his face, but also gave him an understanding of the saying "As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed." A deeper understanding.

Since Sakura wants to hear it, just sing it to her seriously.

In the silent night, the melodious singing kept rising, rising, floating into Glass's room and into Zhihua's workshop.

Pressing pause, Glass walked to the window and looked at Hojo Kyosuke who was singing below. There was surprise on the little face at first, then he narrowed his eyes and listened carefully.

I miss you so much. Even after so many years, Kyousuke-kun's singing voice is still so unique.

It was by listening to such singing that I learned to sing and speak.

"...I really want to see the sea, and I really want to fall in love with people. Even though I say it as a monster, I still mean it~~"

With tenderness in his eyes, Glass sang along with his small voice.

Below, Kyosuke Hojo didn’t even look at Tetsuta Kisaki. When he was in elementary school, he thought the song was about glass, but now he feels that it’s actually about him.

"Then let's go, leave the desert and go to a place where there is love and the sea~"

Finish singing, lift your fingers, and send.

"How is it? It's great!" He turned his head and spoke expressionlessly without any ups and downs.

"Well, he has the demeanor of a commander-in-chief." Tetsuta Kisaki nodded respectfully.

In the hospital, while waiting, Sakura had already lied down.

Click to play. It was such an unpleasant song, but as I listened to it, the pain in my body seemed to disappear quietly, and the girl fell into a peaceful sleep.

This was what Maki Yamauchi saw when he walked in. He gently took out the mobile phone that his daughter was holding tightly, but the conversation was not over yet.

Haha, after all these years, that kid Kyosuke still sings so poorly.

After eating a mouthful of dog food, Xisaki could no longer sit down, and her peaceful and peaceful state of mind was completely destroyed.

Even the eldest brother who can sing so poorly can live with so many beautiful girls. There is no reason why I can't do it. At least I am better at singing.

On the way home, Qisaki thought silently.

…

The next day, Hojo Kyosuke, who was sunbathing in the courtyard, received an unexpected phone call.

"Hey, Hiratsuka-san, good morning."

The caller was Miki Okudera's friend Shizuka Hiratsuka. The two exchanged phone numbers just out of politeness. Although they occasionally went to Yantei for dinner together, they were not in a relationship where they would call to greet each other in the morning.

"Good morning, Hojo."

An unceremonious voice came from the other side, well, relationships are generally just what Hojo Kyosuke thinks about himself. Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had been sent home by the two of them for being drunk several times, seemed to have regarded someone as a friend. Of course, he was at the level below Miki Okudera.

"Are we going to Miki's place for dinner together today?" This was what he thought of, the only intersection between the two.

"No, no, didn't we just have dinner together the day before yesterday? I haven't thanked you for sending me home yet," Hiratsuka Shizuka said.

"You are Miki's best friend, so there is no need to express your gratitude for such a small thing."

"Ah, that's it..."

The person on the phone fell into silence after saying this. Hojo Kyousuke waited for a few seconds and then asked:

"Do you need help with something?"

"It's not a help, but it's something only you can do."

"Um?"

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

"I remember, in a bar in Shinjuku."

"You still remember what you said to Miki-chan on the way to the bar, right?"

The voice on the phone gradually became serious, and Hojo Kyosuke's memory began to revive, and he gradually had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Xiao Miki said at that time, it's a pity that you are already a high school student, otherwise you might become my student. Then, what did you say, do you still remember?"

…

Of course my brain, which is smart enough to single-handedly advance human civilization, remembers it, not to mention that at the time I thought I heard the voice of destiny. Before he could speak, Hiratsuka Shizuka on the opposite side continued:

"You said that you would be happy to do so if possible, but then it would be impossible to transfer to another school. Is that right?"

"Well, it's indeed what I said."

Although he already knew the purpose of what the other party said, Hojo Kyosuke immediately admitted that in other aspects, his bottom line was very flexible, but when it came to the people he liked, he was always honest. The only lie so far is that she lied about her age to Miki. Now, has retribution come...

"Then, come to Sobu High School and I will help you handle the procedures."

"Does Miki know about this?" If this was what she wanted, she would have no choice but to go to Eri Toge and apologize later.

"On the day Yantei opened, Xiao Miki came to my house in the middle of the night and drank three bottles of neon sake. She usually advises me to drink less, but that day it was me who advised her. She kept crying. Cry, do you know how sad she is after knowing that you are just a junior high school student!?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka shouted loudly. The reason why she didn't make this request earlier was to teach the boy opposite her a lesson now, so that he could feel the pain of having her plans and fantasies about the future disrupted. Such boys should be given a good education.

"...I'll go find Miki later."

Although the other party didn't say it clearly, Hojo Kyousuke also figured it out. With Miki's considerate character, she would never make such a request that would embarrass herself. The most fascinating thing about that mature and intellectual woman is her thoughtfulness and understanding.

What Hiratsuka Shizu said, when he went to Yanting again the next day, he didn't notice anything strange about Miki. The aroma of her cigar was still so charming and sweet. She has her own ideas and never makes it difficult for herself. Now, it's completely Shizuka Hiratsuka who is meddling in other people's business.

"I will also go to Sobu High School."

"That's pretty much it. See you when school starts."

After hanging up the phone, Hojo Kyousuke stared at the screen for two seconds.

What's with that woman's smug tone? She wouldn't think that she would be able to do whatever she wanted when she went to Sobu High, right? You must know that the reason why he agreed to this request was entirely out of guilt for Miki and had nothing to do with her.

Yinglili, Shiyu-senpai, Naoka...

Hiss, headache.

Standing in the courtyard, Hojo Kyousuke began to have a headache. He was the only one at home today. Glass went to the nursing home and Zhihua went shopping to buy fabrics.

Get on the motorcycle and go straight to Yanting.

In the kitchen, Miki Okudera was preparing the ingredients for later use. Suddenly, light shone in from the door. She turned around and saw that it was Hojo Kyosuke.

"Ah, Kyousuke, why are you here?" Under the long eyelashes, the big light gray eyes were instantly filled with surprise.

"What, aren't you welcome?"

"Haha, how could it be?" It was just that they had just met the day before yesterday. According to the habits of the two of them, it would take at least two days for them to see each other.

"I'm so hungry, I want to eat Miki's cooking." Seeing Miki's unabashed happiness, Hojo Kyousuke's gloomy mood instantly improved.

Alas, for such a good woman to be so sad by herself, she should regard it as self-punishment.

After dinner, Miki and I chatted together for a while on the second floor, and then Hojo Kyousuke returned home. First, I called Sakura to tell him about the transfer and explained the reasons. Sakura over there smiled happily and agreed without any grudges.

In the evening, I discussed it with Naoko Shoka. The former naturally went to Sobu High, but the latter decided to stay in Toyosaki.

Both Hojo Kyosuke and Glass understand Naoka. Just like Glass wanted to become a voice actor without going to high school, Naohua has been working hard for her dream since elementary school. Toyozaki's textile department can provide her with great help.

"Don't be so disappointed, Naoka. Anyway, we all live together and we see each other more every day than in elementary school." Glass held Ueno Naoka's hand and comforted her softly.

"Yes, the two schools are not far away. When school is over, we can even go to your school first, and then we can all go to eat and go shopping together." Hojo Kyosuke also chatted.

His home is located in the middle of two schools, with Toyosaki on the left and Sobu High on the right.

"Kyosuke, you must take good care of Glass and never let her be bullied!" Naoka raised her head and said.

"Isn't that natural?"

"Hehe, I will also take care of myself, Naohua." Glass smiled sheepishly.

Now that the family is settled, Eiri and Kasumigaoka-senpai are next. When he thought of this, Hojo Kyosuke couldn't help but close his eyes and start to fall asleep.

The next day, ten o'clock in the morning, Kyu Furukawa Garden

"Why are you here so early?"

Eirili asked in surprise. She was still sleeping when she received the call. She hurried down in her nightgown and opened the door for Hojo Kyosuke.

"Isn't it already ten o'clock? Did you stay up late again last night? Also, the shoulder straps of your nightgown are about to fall off."

Looking at the girl with messy hair and sleepy eyes, Hojo Kyosuke pointed to the shoulder straps of the white lace nightgown. A large patch of snow-white was exposed under the slipping nightgown, which was dazzling in the early morning sun. Yinglili, who has grown up healthily, can now stretch out the breasts of her clothes into a very charming shape. At least some people can't help but salivate after seeing it.

"Ahhh! Pervert! Pervert!"

The girl's sleepiness was swept away, and the pink color spread from her earlobes to the tip of her nose.

Bang, the door that had just been opened was closed again. The guilty person did not dare to laugh, but just waited silently at the door.

About five minutes later, she put on a yellow short skirt, her fluffy hair was styled into a pair of ponytails, and even her slender straight legs were put on a pair of black cotton pantyhose. The temperature in the morning in spring is still a bit cold. It seems that Yinglili has also contracted someone's habit of being afraid of the cold.

"Come in." His little face was still blushing, and his delicate voice was full of shyness.

"Excuse me." Hojo Kyousuke even said politely.

"When did you become so polite?" Ying Lili turned around in surprise.

"I'm always super polite, okay!"

"Is that so?" Yinglili glanced at someone suspiciously.

"Isn't Aunt Sayuri at home?" Hojo Kyosuke looked around. Usually when he came, Mrs. Sayuri would be watching TV or drinking tea on the first floor. As for Mr. Spencer, today is not a day off, he has already gone to work.

"Mom is going to participate in the flower arrangement party." Yinglili walked up the stairs.

Don't say that I didn't lay the groundwork. From the previous conversation with Miki Okudera and Shizuka Hiratsuka, to the choice of Yukino Mokari, to the introduction, I almost didn't write it out directly.
