Chapter 246 Traveling with the Twins
Sawayama Haruno didn't stay too long. After bringing the gifts and salmon balls, he just chatted for a while.
After noticing that the time was almost up, he said goodbye to Mine Shiori.
After sending the other person downstairs, he returned to his room.
The petite girl leaned against the closed door and breathed a sigh of relief.
"A gift?"
Mine Shiori lowered her head, touched her chest, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
Then I will wait for Haruno to come back and give him a gift using the excuse that his new book is selling well.
Since she is not as rich as Suguha Ezaki, she plans to give the gift to the other person by hand.
The weather has been getting cooler recently, and winter will probably be here in about a month and a half. So I might as well find a way to knit something.
Although I am not sure what I can knit, no.
Generally speaking, the only things that can be knitted are the old-fashioned scarves and sweaters. It is impossible for someone to knit a Neiku by hand as a gift for someone, right?
Mine Shiori laughed at her own thoughts.
However, before she could decide what to knit, strange noises were heard again in the living room.
"Meow~"
"Oops."
Only then did Mine Shiori remember that the kitten that Sawayama Haruno had put in the space capsule was still in the living room of her house.
The petite girl rushed into the living room and hurriedly opened the space capsule backpack. Then a kitten with beautiful white fur and sky blue pupils came out obediently.
Strictly speaking, it is no longer a kitten.
During its time at Zeshan's house, it lived an extremely comfortable life and its body size became much larger than before.
It's just that its attitude was too docile. Even when facing a stranger like Mine Shiori, it didn't show any fear. Instead, it came forward obediently and allowed the other to caress it.
"Be good~ be good~"
Seeing that the cat was so obedient, Mine Shiori's face was immediately filled with a happy smile.
The petite girl narrowed her eyes and after enjoying the other party's coquetry for a while, she remembered that she could feed him with snacks.
"Hmm salmon balls?"
"Wait a moment, I'll give you the cat strips now."
Mine Shiori comforted the other person, took out the cat strips from the bag, and began to feed the cat in a somewhat healing way.
It was her first time to keep a pet, but she didn't find it as troublesome as she had imagined.
On the contrary, when interacting with cats, I feel a refreshing feeling as if all my inner stress has been released.
"It's even better than clamps," she thought.
Or maybe it's because this is Haruno's cat?
Mine Shiori's face suddenly turned red, and she quickly gathered her thoughts.
He, who was enjoying the salmon balls happily, just glanced at her strangely. Is this another strange woman?
On the other side, Ota Ward, Tokyo.
The taxi slowly stopped along the roadside, and after getting off, Sawayama Haruno took the suitcase from Miyazawa Maki.
This short-haired beauty, who seemed to be particularly cocky for some reason today, has been holding her cell phone and checking her makeup using the built-in mirror function from the time she got on the bus until now when she got off.
Noticing that she was still inexplicably nervous, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help laughing.
"We're already preparing to enter the airport, so it doesn't matter whether we get checked or not, right?"
"What do you know!"
Miyazawa Maki put down her phone and glared at him.
"It's a rare opportunity to go on a trip, so of course I have to dress up nicely." She groaned and said reluctantly, "I usually don't wear makeup at work. Is there any other opportunity except going out to play?"
And Mana will be here too, she added in her heart.
You must be prettier than the other person.
Even if people know that you are twins, you have to make yourself look like the better one of the twins.
"The main reason you don't wear makeup to work in the morning is because you can't get up, right?"
Sawayama Haruno dragged his suitcase and walked towards the airport not far away.
As she walked, she lazily joked, "If you could get up ten minutes earlier, you could put on some simpler light makeup."
"You don't understand girls at all."
Miyazawa Maki rolled her eyes.
"Girls are creatures that when they have ten minutes, they will want to spend fifteen minutes, and when they have fifteen minutes, they will want to spend thirty minutes."
She paused and snorted, "I'm much less troublesome than that kind of woman. If I really get up ten minutes earlier to put on makeup, I might waste thirty minutes, and I'll definitely be late."
"Don't say something weird with a proud look on your face. You're just trying to make excuses for your laziness."
Sawayama Haruno felt a little helpless.
However, after seeing the other party raise his phone and start showing off again, he took the initiative to reach out and hold the other party's shoulders.
This guy doesn't even look at the road when he walks. If I don't protect her, it will be troublesome if she falls down.
"What do you think of my outfit and makeup today?"
Maki Miyazawa didn't notice Sawayama Haruno's little move, but was still nervously asking questions about makeup.
However, not long after the words fell, a familiar voice came from the side.
"Very good." It was Miyazawa Mana.
She didn't know when she appeared behind the two of them.
The sudden call scared Miyazawa Maki so much that she shivered and almost fell down.
Fortunately, Sawayama Haruno was paying attention to her the whole time. The moment he heard the sound, he slightly increased the strength of his hand holding Maki.
"what?"
Miyazawa Mana accelerated and came around from the other side. Looking at her younger sister on the right side of Sawayama Haruno, she made a sound with some confusion.
"Are you scared by me?"
She was really a little surprised. After all, Miyazawa Maki had been very brave in the past, and she didn't expect that she would be scared by herself this time.
Or is it that, since she started dating Haruno and has been acting like a spoiled child to him, Maki has become more and more weak?
Miyazawa Mana thought about it and felt that it was not impossible.
Because she was like this before, always presenting the image of an independent and perfect goddess in front of outsiders, but when in front of Sawayama Haruno, she would become another person who needed to be cared for.
In other words, is the relationship between Maki and Haruno getting better and better?
"Scared, what are you scared of?"
Miyazawa Maki finally came back to her senses.
Looking at her elder sister walking beside her boyfriend, her face turned pale, but she still said stubbornly: "I just didn't get enough rest, and my legs are a little weak."
Damn it, I really want to scold the other person loudly.
But doing so would certainly expose the fact that he had just been frightened.
She would rather swallow her anger than let the other party know that she was such a coward.
"Okay, stop messing around."
Sawayama Haruno looked at the two sisters who were almost having a quarrel when they met, and quickly spoke up to smooth things over.
He pointed helplessly at the aviation building not far away and said gently, "We'll be there soon, so be a little more quiet."
"Humph"
Miyazawa Maki turned her head away, clearly not wanting to speak anymore.
But this seemed to be a good thing for Mana Miyazawa, because she took this opportunity to chat with Haruno Sawayama.
"Hey, didn't Haruno say his cousin was coming too? Why didn't I see her?"
"She has something to do at school in the morning, and she said we should meet up at the airport in the afternoon."
Sawayama Haruno paused and added, "Besides her, there is another girl who should be inside now."
There were five people in their group, one man and four women.
Since Miyazawa Maki lived with him, of course they set off together.
Ayano couldn't go with them only because of force majeure, while Esaki Suguha lived in Ota Ward, not far from Haneda International Airport, so there was no need for her to go all the way to Shinjuku to find them.
"There's still plenty of time."
After listening to the other party's explanation, Miyazawa Mana gently curled the hair around her ears with her fingers.
She smiled at Zeshan Haruno and said, "Did you bring the things I told Haruno about before?"
"Bring it."
Sawayama Haruno subconsciously touched the backpack behind him.
The other party was talking about "Norwegian Wood".
He once promised Miyazawa Mana that he would give her a signed copy as a souvenir.
Although I got the book two days ago, I haven't had time to look for the other party, and I haven't caught up with the classes at school.
Therefore, the opportunity was pushed to today. In Miyazawa Mana's own words, she probably hoped to read a book to relieve boredom while waiting for the flight or on the plane.
Although Sawayama Haruno felt that this was not a very good idea.
On the plane, I read a book that resonated with me, and it was a book that was not easy to describe.
"Humph--"
Seeing how happily the two of them were chatting, Maki Miyazawa, who was standing by, became furious.
But she felt too embarrassed to say it out loud. Besides, they were almost at the entrance of the aviation building and there were many people around, so she didn't want to say anything here.
So she could only quietly reach out her hand and pinch Sawayama Haruno's waist viciously.
"."
Sawayama Haruno glanced at the other person out of the corner of his eye with some helplessness.
It didn't hurt at all, it just felt weird.
Originally, when I was walking with the twin sisters, I attracted a lot of people's attention.
After this intimate action, the looks in the eyes of others who seemed to want to stab him became even more intense.
Fortunately, when they were about to reach the door, Sawayama Haruno finally noticed that someone who could help them appeared.
"Hey, Maki-sister, Mana-sister."
Ayano Yui, with her hair tied into two short braids in front of her and wearing the same clothes as when she first came to Tokyo, was standing not far from the door, waving to them enthusiastically.
In fact, she also noticed Miyazawa Maki's little action, but her smiling expression seemed like she didn't mind at all.
