Chapter 311: Secretly Sticking to Shiori
After chatting with Kazuki Takashima for a while downstairs, Sawayama Haruno slowly went upstairs.
The first thing that rushed to greet him when he opened the door and returned home was, as expected, the cute white kitten.
For some reason, Salmon Maru has been particularly excited these days, and he became even more excited after seeing Sawayama Haruno.
He had just entered the room and had not had time to take off his shoes when the kitten was already pulling up its pants and trying to climb up, obviously hoping that Sawayama Haruno would pick it up.
"Good~"
Seeing that the other party was so clingy, Sawayama Haruno had no choice but to pick it up after taking off his shoes.
After holding her in his arms for a while, he explained with a smile: "Your mother will stay in her own home for a few days. I guess she won't be back for the time being."
"Meow~"
Salmon Maru found a comfortable position in Sawayama Haruno's arms and lay down, calling out lazily as if to say that he didn't really care about this matter.
Although he didn't know whether the other party understood what he meant, seeing how cute the salmon balls were, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but RUA a few times.
After he had smoked enough, he held the other person and walked towards the living room with some curiosity.
"Suguha, are you home?"
Sawayama Haruno called out, but received no response.
After turning the corner, he saw the other person taking a nap on the sofa.
Suguha Esaki's sleeping face was very peaceful, her long, soft hair spread out on the sofa, revealing her perfect and delicate face. Her slightly open mouth gave her a delicate look that was inconsistent with her usual temperament.
It was at this moment that Sawayama Haruno suddenly realized that the other party's actual age seemed to be the youngest among the few people.
However, due to the other party's usual calm appearance, it is difficult for people to notice this.
"Um"
As if she noticed someone was staring at her, Ezaki Suguha, who was still sleeping, frowned subconsciously. After a cold snort, she opened her eyes in a daze.
"Haruno."
His voice was a little hoarse, but since he had just woken up, hoarseness was normal.
Suguha Ezaki leaned on the sofa, sat up and looked at Sawayama Haruno in confusion, as if she didn't realize why the other party came back so soon.
"Is things going more smoothly than expected?"
Sawayama Haruno thought for a moment and said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "But we have discussed it for the time being because Maki seems to have something to say to her family, so we decided not to come back for the next few days."
He paused, then added: "Then because of an unexpected incident, I was also sent back early."
If it was really an accident, he would say don't kiss secretly at Miyazawa's house.
As a result, he was caught by Miyazawa's father and was sent back before he could even have lunch.
Sure enough, the other party must still be a little angry in his heart. After all, he had teased his two daughters, and one of them was pregnant.
But anyway, I might as well come back early. It just so happens that Takashima Kazuki gave me a gift ticket.
"Here, the person in charge of the apartment downstairs just gave it to me."
Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno simply took out the invitation ticket.
He handed it to the still confused Ezaki Suguha and said with a smile, "It's valid only this week. I happen to be free during this period. How about we go together?"
".Eh?"
Suguha Ezaki took the invitation ticket, and while smoothing her messy hair with her hand, she looked at the contents on the ticket.
"Is it okay? Can't you take Maki with you?"
"It shouldn't matter. That guy said he wanted to have a good chat with his family and Mana, and I don't want to interfere with their family's affairs."
Sawayama Haruno stroked his chin and said casually, "Besides, she herself agreed to our relationship. She even encouraged it before she came back."
".Like something she would do."
Ezaki Suguha rubbed her brows and regained some consciousness. She smiled and said, "Of course, I don't have anything special to do next. My driving lessons won't start until the next two weeks."
"But the problem is, there are three coupons here."
Ezaki Suguha shook the invitation ticket in his hand and asked curiously, "There is one more ticket. What are you going to do with it, Haruno?"
"This one"
Speaking of this, Sawayama Haruno also started to have a headache.
He originally planned to go alone with Suguha, but the invitation ticket looked very valuable, which made him a little hesitant.
Should I continue to forward it to others? But who should I forward it to?
It seems that Ayano Yui is not free recently. The fact that she didn't come to visit means that she must be busy recently.
After thinking for a while, Sawayama Haruno still couldn't think of an answer, so he simply asked, "What do you think, should we go alone, leave a ticket for someone else, or find someone else to go with us?"
“Give to others”
Suguha Esaki fell into deep thought for a moment.
The figure of a person almost flashed through her mind.
She easily remembered that she and the other party had agreed to go shopping and have dinner together in the afternoon.
"Can I give it to Master?" Ezaki Suguha looked at the invitation ticket in his hand and said softly, "She should have time, right?"
"Shiori? That's fine too, as long as she doesn't have any extra work to do at school or Kodansha."
Sawayama Haruno agreed readily.
As long as Ezaki Suguha agrees, it will be fine. After all, this "date" is to make up for the fact that he did not accompany her enough in the past period of time.
Since Ezaki Suguha chose to use up all three tickets, then let's go together. Shiori has helped me a lot, so it's necessary to treat her occasionally.
After finalizing the three candidates, Sawayama Haruno put the salmon ball back on the ground, sat next to Ezaki Suguha, and hugged her gently.
"You guys are going out shopping this afternoon?"
"Well, Haruno, do you want to join us?"
"I'll forget it."
Zeshan Haruno shook his head and said gently, "You two can go. I'll just be at home preparing for the book."
The girls are shopping in groups, so why should a grown man like me join in the fun? I might as well stay at home and continue thinking about the book "Kafka on the Shore".
After all, the plan to create the second book is imminent. If possible, Sawayama Haruno hopes to write part of the book before the end of the year.
"If you don't come with us, you'll have to eat alone at home."
Seeing Sawayama Haruno's refusal, Ezaki Suguha seemed a little worried.
"Xiao Wei doesn't seem to be at home either. I heard that she went to school to take care of other things these days. Are you okay alone?"
"I lived alone before." Zeshan Haruno looked at her helplessly and added, "After all, I have lived alone for so many years. I won't feel lonely just because of a few hours in the afternoon and evening."
"Yeah."
Ezaki Suguha pursed her lips and smiled.
"I also want to say that if Haruno feels uncomfortable being alone, he should come back earlier."
"There is still plenty of time, there is no need to rush."
Sawayama Haruno hugged Ezaki Suguha with a little force and lifted her onto his lap.
He leaned back on the sofa, looked at the coupon in the other person's hand and said with a smile: "If you are really sorry, you can make it up to me when you go to the hot springs. I heard that there are independent outdoor hot spring baths in the hotel rooms."
The group to which this apartment building belongs is part of a chain of industrial chains, and the hot spring hotel developed here is naturally extremely high-end. Not only are there separate bathing pools for men and women, there are also shared mixed bathing pools, and even the high-end rooms have independent ones.
The invitation ticket he received naturally also included the privilege of experiencing the independent hot spring bath.
"Haruno."
As if she understood what he said, Ezaki Suguha's face turned slightly red.
After all, she is no longer the tall girl with a simple and straightforward personality.
After interacting with Sawayama Haruno for such a long time, of course she could understand some of the hidden meanings. Moreover, Ezaki Suguha was also greatly influenced by Miyazawa Maki, and the "waste" in her mind had increased unknowingly.
When she mentioned the outdoor hot spring bath, she couldn't help but conjure up many images in her mind.
In addition, he was held in the arms of Sawayama Haruno, and for a moment, an indescribable wonderful feeling was constantly surging in his heart.
Suguha Ezaki suddenly felt weak all over and couldn't exert any strength at all.
"You'll catch a cold in the bath."
The tone of her voice began to soften unconsciously, and her soft voice made people feel very intoxicated.
Sawayama Haruno blinked and smiled, "Of course the hot spring will be warm, so there's nothing to worry about, right?"
"right."
Suguha Ezaki responded in a low voice.
Her beautiful eyes swept across Sawayama Haruno's cheek lovingly. Feeling the increasingly ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them, the string called "reason" in her brain was slowly breaking.
It was obvious that in a short while, I should set off to find my master.
But now he wants to get closer to Sawayama Haruno.
It was a very strange feeling, both exciting and making her feel a little ashamed, but she had no way to control such emotions.
Finally, after the string broke, Ezaki Suguha took a deep breath and kissed Sawayama Haruno on the lips without hesitation.
The sudden attack caught the latter off guard, but when he reacted, he immediately hugged Ezaki Suguha's slender waist.
The two of them clung to each other, as if trying to catch up on what they hadn't finished that morning.
About an hour and a half later, in a student dormitory in Shinjuku District, Tokyo.
Mine Shiori sneezed for no reason.
The petite girl looked up at the clock on the wall, somewhat bewildered, and said to herself, "Ah, it's almost time."
Could it be that Suguha was curious about whether she had set out?
