Chapter 238 Miyazawa Maki resting at home
After coming out of the bathroom, Miyazawa Mana kept touching her chin from time to time.
Noticing the other person's resentful expression, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help feeling guilty.
"You can't blame me."
He coughed slightly.
It was the other party who started it, how can I blame myself?
It's normal to have a sore mouth, right?
"I didn't really blame you."
Miyazawa Mana followed him downstairs. Looking at his back, the girl couldn't stop smiling.
After returning to her seat, she took out a briefcase from her bag.
"I'll give this to you first."
"Oh, that's Maki's ID in there, right?"
"Yes, the passport and other things are in it." Miyazawa Mana handed over the file bag and added, "I have also talked to my parents, and they also agreed to this trip. They also asked me to tell you that the money will be transferred to the card they gave you before."
"There's no need for money."
Sawayama Haruno took the file bag and stuffed it into his bag.
He said casually: "The money I gave you before was basically not used, and Maki is now making money through her own efforts, so aunt and the others don't need to worry too much."
"Let's keep it first."
Miyazawa Mana held up her face and looked at him with a smile.
"Mom is a very awkward person. Even if I tell her this, she won't listen."
“That’s true.”
Thinking back to the appearance of Miyazawa's mother, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The other party is indeed such a person, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
However, this time I wanted to take the two sisters out together, and it was really surprising that the other party agreed.
Maybe it has something to do with what I said before about helping to repair the relationship between their family members.
"Don't you have anything else to do later, Haruno?"
"That's about it. There's no need to rush about the book. I just need to ask for leave from school."
Sawayama Haruno paused for a moment, recalling what the grandfather of the Ezaki family had said.
The "exam" will be scheduled at the earliest next week, which means that there is still enough time left for me to take others out for a trip.
After I come back from Macau, I will be able to deal with the affairs of the Ezaki family, and "Norwegian Wood" must have been published, so I can balance my studies while starting to work on the second book.
I will try to finish the second book and submit it to Kodansha before I go back to my hometown during the winter break.
In this way, by next year, he wouldn't have to worry too much about financial matters. Even if he had to support the Miyazawa twins and Ezaki Suguha at the same time, it would be more than enough.
The plan went so smoothly that Sawayama Haruno's mood inexplicably improved a lot.
Although his mission to type in the library today ended in failure, it was still nice to be able to spend some time with Miyazawa Mana. Therefore, he hardly touched the computer in the following time and kept whispering to Miyazawa Mana.
It lasted until the afternoon, when Miyazawa Mana had to leave because of other things, so Sawayama Haruno packed up his things and prepared to go home.
Tokyo has unknowingly entered September, and summer seems to be coming to an end.
During this period of time, as long as it doesn't rain, the weather will basically become very cool. Once it rains, it will rain continuously, resulting in a very hot and humid situation for several days.
Walking on the street, Sawayama Haruno noticed that many people were already wearing long sleeves and jackets. He didn't know what the Japanese were thinking. It was clearly not winter yet, but those who could wear jackets had already started wearing them.
Could it be that there is no autumn in Tokyo, so I am wearing a thin coat now?
"I should go shopping for clothes in a few days," Sawayama Haruno thought.
A few days ago, Maki Miyazawa had been mumbling about buying seasonal clothes, and even planned to buy a set of couple outfits with him.
I might as well wait until I am free in the next few days and take him back to buy it.
Sawayama Haruno breathed a sigh of relief, and after taking the train back to Shinjuku, he slowly walked towards his home.
He took the elevator upstairs, turned the corner and returned to his door on the right. After taking out the key and opening the door, Sawayama Haruno noticed the sound of the TV coming from inside.
"Maki?"
Sawayama Haruno shouted in surprise.
The other party's energetic voice was immediately heard from inside.
"Hey, why did you come back so early today?"
"No, I should be the one asking this question, right?" Zeshan Haruno asked curiously while changing his shoes, "Didn't you say you would switch shifts with your colleagues on the weekend? Why are you at home now?"
Miyazawa Maki didn't rush to answer him, but ran to the entrance barefoot.
After seeing Zeshan Haruno, she widened her eyes and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone: "I say"
"what?"
"When I went to work today, I found the store in a mess. Everything was scattered all over the floor, and many game consoles and cassettes were missing."
For some reason, Miyazawa Maki was inexplicably excited. She gestured with her hands and feet to show how chaotic the video game store was at the time, and then she went on to tell the main point of the matter.
"A thief has come in."
Miyazawa Maki said confidently: "The police said this. The surveillance video captured two people, but they were both wearing masks, so it will take some time to investigate."
"Another thief?" Sawayama Haruno was stunned when he heard that.
Could it be the same group of people who committed the crime last time?
It felt like it was possible. After all, several incidents had occurred in such a short period of time. He hardly believed that they were not a group of people.
Ever since Morikawa Riho used her connections to ask her former friend to help look after the case, the other party would occasionally reveal some progress of the case to them. After the incident with Mine Shiori, several cases of burglary occurred in other areas of Tokyo.
Although it was far away from Mine Shiori's home, the thieves seemed to have specifically scouted the area to steal, and the crimes were committed very close in time, so the police suspected that it was the same person or the same group of people who committed the crimes continuously.
It was caught on camera, which means there is a chance that we can catch him.
Sawayama Haruno seemed to be thinking about something.
"Why again?"
Miyazawa Maki looked at him in some confusion.
"No."
Zeshan Haruno came back to his senses, put the changed shoes into his shoes, and couldn't help asking: "Then what? Are you on vacation?"
"There's nothing we can do. The store is just too messy. The snack and beverage sections have all been ransacked and knocked over."
Miyazawa Maki put her hands on her hips and said with some regret: "Even the collectible figurines in the cupboard were not spared. Someone broke the glass and stole everything."
"Because there were too many broken glass and food and drink residues, the store manager said she would hire a special cleaner to clean it up, so she asked us all to go home and rest."
"Then why are you gloating so much? The manager is really unlucky to have an employee like you." Sawayama Haruno complained weakly.
"No way!"
Miyazawa Maki immediately refuted.
"My colleagues and I were trying to persuade the store manager not to waste money, but he said he was worried that we might get hurt while cleaning up, so he insisted on hiring someone from outside."
"Is it that serious?"
“All the cabinet glass was broken, it was like an earthquake. The scene was extremely chaotic. When we arrived in the morning, we thought we had gone to the wrong place!”
"Yeah."
Sawayama Haruno put the computer bag under his arm, then picked up Miyazawa Maki by the waist and walked into the living room.
Looking at the short-haired girl whose face suddenly turned red, he smiled and said, "It seems that I have to thank the store manager sister."
"Humph~"
Maki Miyazawa pulled his clothes, secretly delighted.
"how about you?"
She let herself be carried to the sofa in the living room by Zeshan Haruno, and huddled against him, she began to act coquettishly, "How was your morning? Didn't you say you were going to the library to take care of some work?"
"Um"
Sawayama Haruno coughed a few times.
"No progress, eh?"
"Then you might as well go home early. I've been watching TV at home all morning."
Miyazawa Maki stretched out her legs, kicked randomly on the sofa for a few times, and said lazily: "Really, Salmon Maru refused to play with me and ran into the room to sleep."
"You can't blame it. We often have to "make noise" until three or four in the morning before we can fall asleep."
"That's not your fault."
Miyazawa Maki muttered.
Who can blame Sawayama Haruno for having such good physical strength? They should go to bed around 10:11, but they always end up tossing and turning until late at night.
"lets change a topic."
Sawayama Haruno took out the documents from the computer bag.
"Here, your passport and ID are all in here."
"You got it back?!"
Miyazawa Maki was suddenly a little surprised.
After grabbing the file bag, she couldn't wait to open it and take a look.
After confirming that none of the documents had expired, she was overjoyed.
During the past two nights when they were resting at home, Zeshan Haruno would show her travel guides from time to time, which made her itchy and she wanted to fly there for a vacation right away.
I thought I would have to wait another half a month, but I didn't expect the other party to return all the documents today.
Looking at the thing in her hand, Miyazawa Maki's heart, which had finally calmed down, began to pound again.
"Does that mean we can set off now?"
"It's possible, but there's a little surprise."
Zeshan Haruno patted her legs and pretended to be calm, saying: "It's a little troublesome to get your documents back. After all, these things were kept at your home before, so your parents knew when I went to get them."
"and then?"
Miyazawa Maki hugged her ID tightly and asked with a vigilant look: "Don't they agree?"
"It's not that I don't agree, but there are conditions."
Looking at the obviously nervous Miyazawa Maki, Sawayama Haruno paused for a moment before continuing, "As a condition for getting your documents back, you have to bring Mana with you on this trip. Is that okay?"
