Chapter 179: Maki caught an adulterer?! [Seeking monthly votes]
"Can I come in?"
"Eh"
Inside the room, Ezaki Suguha became a little flustered.
Just as that happened, Mine Shiori came over.
Even she didn't know what expression to use to face the other party at this moment.
After all, Mine Shiori is her master, and she also has special feelings for Haruno. In other words, not only is she awesome to Maki, but she is also stealing her master's lover in disguise.
"Sorry, I'm not feeling well."
In the end, Ezaki Suguha could only give a vague explanation: "Maybe I was too tired yesterday afternoon, so I wanted to rest a little longer today."
"Yeah."
Hearing this, Mine Shiori outside the door was a little puzzled.
I didn't expect that Ezaki Suguha would also feel tired. I don't know where she went with her friends yesterday afternoon.
But considering his personality, and the fact that all the people he knows are fellow kendo enthusiasts, could it be that they have been practicing sparring the entire afternoon?
Mine Shiori felt that it was not impossible, otherwise how to explain that the other party had not gotten up today?
So she thought about it and stopped worrying about it.
After reminding Ezaki Suguha outside the door to have a good rest and to remember to text her if she felt unwell, Mine Shiori returned to her room.
Although Ginkakuji Temple is very large, she didn't want to go out for a walk if she was alone. It would be better for her to stay in the room to organize the materials and prepare notes for tutoring Ezaki Suguha in the next few days.
On Saturday and Sunday, Haruno and Suguha should have time, but on Monday and Tuesday of next week, she and Haruno will have to cooperate with Kodansha's work.
With the idea of suffering first and then enjoying the sweetness, Mine Shiori planned to finish as many things as possible on her side, and then reserve some time for her to go out and play with the other two.
In this way, the three of them spent the seemingly peaceful Friday morning at different paces.
Zeshan Haruno slept until noon before waking up slowly.
I couldn't stay awake because my cell phone kept ringing. I picked it up and found it was Maki Miyazawa.
Sawayama Haruno perked up instantly, sat up straight and quickly answered the phone.
"Hey?"
"Hum-"
Soon, Miyazawa Maki's somewhat happy voice came from the other end of the phone.
Although he couldn't see the short-haired girl, Sawayama Haruno could roughly imagine her smug smile.
It looks like my mother's matter didn't seem to cause too much trouble?
"Maki, why didn't you reply to my message last night? Mother is gone?"
"I was very tired last night. Auntie hasn't left yet. She should be at home now, right?"
Miyazawa Maki's voice became a little quieter.
Sawayama Haruno pricked up his ears and listened carefully, then he noticed the environment the other person was in and the music.
Just by thinking about it briefly in his mind, he remembered that this was the instrumental music most often played in video game stores.
Yes, today is still a working day.
Yesterday, Maki Miyazawa took a leave to spend some time with her mother, but she still had to go to work as usual today.
Thinking of this, Zeshan Haruno also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and said with a little relief: "It didn't cause too much trouble, did it?"
"Well, for now, no. Although I asked Mana to come."
"What??"
"Auntie asked me to do that yesterday."
Miyazawa Maki was playing with her hair while talking to the phone nonchalantly: "I was shopping all day yesterday, and my aunt took us to a massage spa in the evening. My phone ran out of battery halfway through, so I forgot to tell you."
"You guys are with Mana?"
"Yeah, and your cousin. Anyway, nothing happened, so why are you so nervous?"
Miyazawa Maki seemed a little angry, and said unhappily: "I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know the situation. I definitely won't quarrel with my sister in front of my aunt."
"."
Sawayama Haruno said nothing.
What he was worried about was not whether Maki would quarrel with Mana, but whether his mother would say something to Mana.
Ako Sawayama was extremely pleased with Mana Miyazawa at the time. She wanted them to get married and have children right away. Although Maki looked exactly like her, it was hard to say what her mother would think.
wrong
If that's the case, does my mother know about my relationship with Maki?
Zeshan Haruno suddenly felt a headache, and said with a bitter smile: "Anyway, it's good that nothing happened."
"You are too young and you are surprised by everything." Miyazawa Maki said with some disdain, "Auntie bought me a very beautiful and expensive bracelet yesterday."
"Yeah."
Actually, Mana has it too, and it’s not just bracelets.
"I bought it for myself, and for the others I bought something like a peace rope."
Miyazawa Maki couldn't help showing off and said, "As expected, Auntie is actually quite satisfied with me, right?"
She felt like she had won.
As a twin, she has always been disgusted by having the same clothes and jewelry as her sister, but yesterday her aunt bought her a separate pair. In a sense, she has won over her sister!
"By the way, how are you doing in Kyoto?"
"My side" Sawayama Haruno hesitated for a moment.
The figure of Ezaki Suguha flashed through his mind, making him feel inexplicably guilty.
“That didn’t go well. Sorry.”
"Why are you apologizing to me for no reason?" Miyazawa Maki was puzzled for a moment and asked, "Did you do anything to offend me?"
"."
Why is this guy so intuitive at a time like this? ? ?
Zeshan Haruno's throat rolled for a moment, and he said with some difficulty: "It's just, uh. It seems that you are in such trouble, but I am..."
"So you really did something to offend me?"
As if sensing something from Sawayama Haruno's guilty look, Miyazawa Maki's tone immediately changed.
Even through the phone screen, I could seem to see her eyes wide open and her look of disbelief.
So Sawayama Haruno didn't know what to say anymore.
Fortunately, the other party's next sentence made him inexplicably relieved.
"Tsk, is this really going to happen?"
Miyazawa Maki curled her lips and said unhappily: "I knew something like this would happen."
"that."
"I'm not saying I'm angry or anything, as long as you don't do anything rash and you're not with Mana, that's fine."
Miyazawa Maki paused for a moment, snorted and said unhappily: "As a way to vent that desire, I can still accept it."
“No, that’s not the point.”
Sawayama Haruno's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.
The matter was easily exposed and then easily covered up? ?
He had no confidence that he could hide his relationship from Maki Miyazawa, so it was normal for her to hear his guilty tone, but what was abnormal was that she just accepted it? ?
Does that mean that as long as it's not Mana, it's okay?
Just when his mind was in a mess, the reluctant voice of the short-haired girl came from the phone again.
"You are a person who sometimes has a very poor sense of vision."
"Don't talk about this now."
Miyazawa Maki complained, "What I want to know is how you are doing in Kyoto, whether you have had a good rest these days, and how is the novel going?"
"As for the books, I will take them to the preliminary round in the afternoon. It's okay if I rest, but I haven't been out much in the past two days."
Zeshan Haruno gave a bitter smile and said helplessly: "I feel a little uncomfortable staying here."
"You can hook up with other girls without leaving the house." Miyazawa Maki couldn't help but mutter, "It seems that I have to ask Suguha to pay more attention to your surroundings, damn it."
Sawayama Haruno swallowed and didn't dare to speak.
The other party is definitely not joking. With Miyazawa Maki's brain circuit, it is really possible that she will ask Ezaki Suguha to help her guard against the presence of other women around her.
"Forget it, forget it. Have you finished writing your novel? Then send it to my email?"
Fortunately, Miyazawa Maki soon stopped dwelling on the matter and instead asked, "Send it to me so I can take a look at it at noon. There won't be many customers at noon."
“Oh ok, I’ll send it later.”
Sawayama Haruno agreed subconsciously.
The other party is really easy to fool. As expected, as long as it is not about Mana, everything will be easy to solve in front of Maki.
I don’t know whether I should be thankful or feel helpless at this time.
But being able to get away with it temporarily is already pretty good, not to mention that I have also managed to find out a little about Maki's thoughts.
Although this would make it extremely difficult to live with Manaya, at least there wouldn't be too many problems when it came to Suguha.
As for the rest, I can just wait until I return to Tokyo and slowly resolve them.
For the next half hour, the two of them kept talking on the phone.
Maki Miyazawa did not mention whether Sawayama Haruno had cheated on her while on a business trip in Kyoto, but happily shared what Sawayama Ako took them to do yesterday.
When the conversation became exhausted and other colleagues in the store called her to help, Maki Miyazawa hung up the phone reluctantly.
Looking at the disconnected call on the phone screen, Sawayama Haruno breathed a sigh of relief.
For now, it seems like there's really no problem.
But after returning to Tokyo, things were different.
Sawayama Haruno thought about it and decided that in addition to Maki Mana and his mother's affairs, he also had to find time to deal with the affairs of the Ezaki family.
As for how to deal with it, he already has a certain idea. When the time comes, he plans to formally visit Ezaki Suguha's brother, that is, Ezaki Naoto.
It was not difficult to tell from the last meeting that he was actually a nice guy, and I believe he also regarded Suguha as his own sister.
Since other members of the Ezaki family are planning to use Suguha to deal with Naoto, I will go and ask them if they have any means of counterattack. By then, there will surely be a way to solve Suguha's troubles.
The other party has already risen to the position of half-manager of the Jiangqi Group, so he should have the means to deal with other senior executives, right?
Sawayama Haruno thought about it and felt a little unsure.
But no matter what, we have to meet. At least we have to sit down and talk, then we can find a solution.
Sawayama Haruno rubbed his brows and was just about to get up, change his clothes and go out when his cell phone vibrated again.
This time it wasn't sent by Maki Miyazawa.
——It’s Riho Morikawa.
The other party didn't say anything more, but sent the location of a cafe.
The meaning is self-evident.
