Chapter 391 Returning again, a familiar figure
After resting for another day in Tokyo, the Sawayama family took the morning Shinkansen train back to Osaka the next morning.
Although I had been here once more than a month ago, I went to a rural area like Sennan City that time and did not get to experience the authentic Osaka scenery.
If you ask about the most famous attractions in Osaka, they must be Osaka Castle, Universal Studios, Shinsaibashi and other places.
Although this kind of venue may not be suitable for taking wedding photos due to the large flow of people, if you rent a small venue nearby, you can still take a lot of photos that you can savor over and over again.
The person in charge who accompanied Sawayama Haruno and his team to Osaka obviously had the same idea. After landing, he took his company's people to find the people in the venues near the tourist attractions to discuss the rental matter.
After handing over all these matters to the other party, Sawayama Haruno seemed to have nothing to do.
The whole person can be said to have become unexpectedly relaxed. Of course, this is based on the premise that the parents have not appeared yet.
Sawayama Haruno brought the five girls out of the station and found a drink shop to sit down and rest. As soon as he finished placing the order, he saw the text message sent to him by Sawayama Ako, and he suddenly felt depressed.
"what? What?"
Miyazawa Maki was sitting closest to him, so she naturally heard the sound of the text message alert coming from his phone. She immediately came over to take a look out of curiosity.
"Mom and Dad are coming up the train to see you now, but it might take a while so you can find a place to eat first."
Miyazawa Maki read out the information word by word, and Miyazawa Mana beside her turned around in surprise.
"Are you in such a hurry to come here, uncles and aunts? It will take quite some time for the train to come here, right?"
Although Sawayama Haruno's hometown has developed significantly in recent years, it is still a remote area. It takes some effort to take the tram from Sennan City. The most troublesome thing is that the tram frequency there is not as frequent as in Tokyo, and it takes more than ten minutes just to wait for the tram.
"Since they all said so, there's nothing I can do." Sawayama Haruno scratched his head and said with some trouble, "And judging from the look on my mother's face, she probably said this after she had already set off."
He estimated in his mind how long it would take for the other party to arrive, and it would take at least two hours. Don't underestimate these two hours. For an island country, two hours of transportation is already a long way.
If you drive yourself, it only takes an hour and a half to drive from Sennan City to the center of Osaka. If you are in a place like Tokyo, an hour and a half is enough for Sawayama Haruno to ride a bicycle to Chiba.
"If that's the case, then should we find a restaurant first?"
Jiang Qizhiye said softly, "Otherwise, when the uncles and aunts come over later, they will have to wait outside for a seat."
Zeshan Haruno thought about it and felt that what the other party said made sense, so he asked casually: "Okay, then what do you want to eat?"
“Beef tongue sashimi!”
Ayano Yui was the first to raise her hand, but everyone ignored her suggestion without hesitation. It's not that everyone doesn't like eating beef tongue and sashimi, but there are so many people coming out this time, and the elders will be there later, so how can they eat such things?
Besides, Miyazawa Maki is still a special person, so it is better for her to eat less food like sashimi.
"Why don't you try the teahouse?"
Mine Shiori said weakly, "I looked at the travel guide for Osaka before I left. It seems that there are many Chinese-owned restaurants. There is a teahouse nearby that is quite popular."
"Teahouse?"
Hearing what Mine Shiori said, Sawayama Haruno suddenly felt moved.
As a Cantonese man in his previous life, he naturally liked teahouses and morning tea. Although it might be a little late to go there now, his parents haven't arrived yet. He and his group can just take a number and wait outside for a while, so it shouldn't have much of an impact.
After thinking it over, Sawayama Haruno finally accepted the suggestion proposed by Mine Shiori, and the group went to the nearest teahouse. However, after arriving, they were dumbfounded by the long queue at the door.
"This is too many people."
Miyazawa Maki stood on tiptoe and suddenly felt a little dejected when she saw the crowd of people inside.
She leaned weakly in Zeshan Haruno's arms, and her sickly appearance made people feel worried.
Maki Miyazawa is the type who is not used to being in crowded places. She will feel uncomfortable wherever there are crowds of people. This was discovered by Haruno Sawayama not long after he came into contact with her.
The current situation was somewhat beyond Sawayama Haruno's own expectations. Although he had been mentally prepared for a large number of people, he did not expect that there would be so many people. He had no choice but to ask Esaki Suguha to help get the tickets, while he took Miyazawa Maki outside to get some fresh air.
After leaving the teahouse, Miyazawa Maki's complexion improved. Sawayama Haruno took the opportunity to take her to sit on the public bench in the shopping mall outside.
“It’s not the weekend but there are so many people”
"That's because it's the New Year holiday. There are so many people regardless of whether it's the weekend or not, right? And there seem to be quite a few foreign tourists. After all, many people choose to travel abroad on New Year's Day and New Year's Eve." Sawayama Haruno said with a smile.
Just in the short time he stood at the door and looked out, he had already heard a lot of familiar dialects, and he knew where they were from without saying anything.
What puzzled Sawayama Haruno was that, since he had come to an island country, he still had to eat in a teahouse. Why not try the extremely unpalatable Kaiseki cuisine?
Well. It could also be that after finishing the Kaiseki cuisine, they realized it would be better to come here for breakfast, so they all came here.
Of course, most of them are local residents of the island country. The two countries are close to each other, and their food cultures will influence each other. There are many exquisite pastries and other foods in the morning tea culture, which are simply too appetizing for the island people.
What's more, the Japanese people's diet is somewhat similar to that of the Cantonese people. They all like fresh and tender food with heavy soy sauce. In addition, the Japanese people also attach great importance to the tea ceremony culture. Therefore, morning tea almost hits all their XPs. It is normal that so many people patronize it.
Maki Miyazawa closed her eyes and leaned on Sawayama Haruno's shoulder. When she thought of the horrible scene of people crowding together, she pouted her lips in displeasure and said depressedly, "What should I do when we eat later?"
"Don't worry, I asked Suguha to get the number for the private room." Sawayama Haruno touched her head and comforted her softly, "There won't be so many people in the private room, so it will be more comfortable."
The queue for the private room might take longer. To be honest, it was too much trouble. Sawayama Haruno was already wondering whether to change the place to eat. After all, there were many delicious foods in Osaka, so he didn't have to worry about having morning tea. On the other side, inside the teahouse.
The four people who stayed behind were waiting for their numbers to be called. Ayano Yui sat cross-legged on the sofa without any ladylike manners. She propped her chin with her hand and said boredly, "If this goes on, won't we have to wait two hours for the start?"
".Shouldn't I use that?"
Mine Shiori looked at Ezaki Suguha with some concern. To be honest, she already regretted coming up with this idea. She didn't expect that so many people would come for morning tea.
What if they really wait here for half a day, and by the time Sawayama Haruno's parents arrive it's still not their turn?
Or maybe we should persuade Haruno to go to another restaurant?
Thinking of this, Mine Shiori couldn't help but want to speak, but someone took the lead before her.
"Forget it. If we continue to wait here, we don't know how long we'll have to wait."
Miyazawa Mana stood up, shook her head and said, "To be on the safe side, let's find another restaurant first. If the line is long, we can eat here. If not, at least we have a second choice."
“That’s what I mean.”
Ayano Yui didn't even bother to raise her eyelids. Why couldn't she think about the beef tongue sashimi she had just mentioned?
Hey, isn’t beef tongue sashimi delicious?
Seeing everyone's reaction, Ezaki Suguha hesitated for a moment and was about to agree, but at this moment, a very familiar figure walked out of the teahouse.
The moment that person appeared, she attracted the attention of Ezaki Suguha. The reason was simple: she was followed by several bodyguards, and the scene was so grand that people nearby unconsciously made way for her.
Just as the crowd moved to the sides, allowing her to successfully look out, she also noticed Ezaki Suguha and immediately let out a surprised "Huh".
"what happened?"
Miyazawa Mana was just about to go out to look for Sawayama Haruno when she saw Ezaki Suguha suddenly stop moving again. She turned back in confusion.
However, facing Miyazawa Mana's doubts, Ezaki Suguha did not rush to answer. Instead, after a few seconds of silence, he whispered, "Maybe we don't need to change restaurants. Hmm. Maybe."
"What do you mean you might not have to?"
Miyazawa Mana frowned slightly, but before she could ask clearly, the bodyguards who had caused such a big commotion just now escorted the man towards Ezaki Suguha again.
If Sawayama Haruno was also present, he would be very surprised to find that the person in front of him was the little princess of the Ishizawa family.
As an old acquaintance who had met more than once in Kyoto, Ezaki Suguha naturally knew the other party, and the other party also recognized her, which was why she said those words to Miyazawa Mana just now.
"It's really strange that you are here too."
After getting closer, Ishizawa Kaori looked at Ezaki Suguha with a somewhat tsk-tsk-tsk look.
It was a little different from the previous meetings. This time, Ishizawa Kaori seemed to have changed more. But it was also true that she was a third-year junior high school girl. At this age, she only needed to slightly change her dressing habits to create a completely different sense of maturity.
Moreover, rather than saying that she is in the third grade, it would be more accurate to say that she is already a freshman in high school. According to her age, she should be enrolled in the high school department next year. But why would such a person appear in Osaka?
Jiang Qizhiye was a little confused, so she simply asked directly: "Why are you here?"
"Ah, that's because the director said so."
Ishizawa Kaori shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Originally, we agreed that the filming location would be in Kyoto, but he suddenly said that Osaka, as Kiriyama-sensei's hometown, might have a more special atmosphere, so he wanted to come here to film or something."
"is it?"
The frown on Suguha Esaki's brows gradually relaxed. It seemed that she was following the filming crew of "Norwegian Wood" around, so it was no wonder that she came to Osaka.
"Why, are you guys going to eat here too?"
Ishizawa Kaori saw the number sheet in her hand at a glance, and immediately said with a smile: "I have a good relationship with the owner of this store, maybe I can let you cut in line or something."
"What's the price?" Ezaki Suguha asked straight to the point.
"The price is simple!"
Seeing that the other party was so sensible, Ishizawa Kaori was immediately overjoyed.
The price she wanted was nothing more than payment for Sawayama Haruno's writing, but she had the final say on what type of writing it was.
Even though Sawayama Haruno sent her a bonus version last time, the content of that bonus version was really too little. After reading it all, Ishizawa Kaori still felt unsatisfied. It ended before she even had time to perform water magic. How could this be acceptable?
I must let that bastard Sawayama Haruno write more extended versions. If I remember correctly, the eldest daughter of the Ezaki family seems to be his concubine now. In that case, I will do her a favor and wait for Ezaki Suguha to persuade me at night. Then I will be able to see new extended versions soon!
Ishizawa Kaori's plan was perfect, and as expected, Esaki Suguha agreed, promising to help her persuade Sawayama Haruno later. Of course, no one knew whether it would work or not.
All in all, the final result of the matter ended with several people being invited to a private room in advance, and this private room happened to be vacant because Kaori Ishizawa had just finished her meal and left.
This private room was originally used as a VIP reception room and would not be open even if it was crowded. However, Ishizawa Kaori was very familiar with the boss behind the teahouse, so in the end, Ezaki Suguha and his group were allowed to sit in the VIP reception room.
After receiving the text message, Sawayama Haruno, who hurried back with Miyazawa Maki, did not doubt too much and just thought that all the private rooms in the teahouse were of such luxurious specifications.
He asked Miyazawa Mana and the others to order their dishes first, then comforted the somewhat depressed Miyazawa Maki before turning around and leaving in a hurry again.
Next, he had to go to the station to pick up Sawayama Ako and the others. Although both of his parents were native to Osaka, they lived in Sennan City most of the time and rarely came to the city center. If Sawayama Haruno hadn't gone to pick them up, who knows how long they would have to wander around looking at the map.
