Chapter 352: Shinjuku Roku-chome at night, the oak tree grows freely
On November 5th, Toru Watanabe and Miki Kujo did not leave the bedroom until dusk.
"What would you like to eat?" Miki Kujo came down the stairs for the second time today.
"Let's go out and eat. It's a good opportunity to go out for a walk." Toru Watanabe twisted his shoulders.
"What's wrong?" Miki Kujo noticed his actions.
"Hmm..." Watanabe Toru frowned, "I've been wearing small clothes for a long time, and my body feels stretched."
After hearing this, Kujo Miki suddenly stopped caring and became happy.
She took out her phone and showed the screen to Watanabe Toru: "Does it look good?"
The mobile phone wallpaper is a girl in a black dress, as beautiful as Kiyono Rin and Kujo Miki.
"Take it away, take it away!" Toru Watanabe didn't want to look at it at all.
Miki Kujo laughed happily twice. This was the photo of beautiful Watanabe that she had carefully selected. There were many other photos of him wearing other clothes in the album.
Her mobile phone has many "ugly photos" of Toru Watanabe, and Toru Watanabe's mobile phone also has many various photos of her.
The two walked out of the villa, and the [Queen] in the yard immediately flew over.
"Should we find a male for it?" said Toru Watanabe.
"I'll have someone go look for it on the mountain." Kujo Miki scratched the Queen's chin and said to it, "Go ahead."
[The Queen] flapped her wings and flew onto a canna plant. After bearing the weight, the canna plant immediately bent down.
"Eating in Jimbocho?" Miki Kujo clapped her hands and asked Toru Watanabe.
"Change place, any recommendations?"
"Just find a random restaurant and go to Ginza?"
"Can."
"I'll call Rin and ask her if she wants to come with us." Kujo Miki took out her cell phone and at the same time instructed the servant in the yard to notify the driver to prepare the car.
"You two have such a good relationship." Watanabe Toru said with a smile.
Kujo Miki glanced at him and dialed the phone: "Dinner together tonight? Well, Watanabe is also here... We'll pick you up, you get ready."
After hanging up the phone, the two took a bus to Kioi-cho. When they arrived downstairs of Kiyono Rin's apartment, she was just walking out.
She was wearing a beige thin V-neck sweater. It was called a V-neck, but you couldn't even see her collarbone. It just looked like a V-neck.
She wore a light blue long skirt, which was still fresh and simple.
Since we've mentioned Kiyono Rin, let me also introduce what Kujo Miki wore that day.
Watanabe Toru remembered clearly what she was wearing that day - a pure white T-shirt with his shirt on the outside, open in the front.
Although the shirt is a bit big, it looks fashionable, beautiful and elegant.
She wore a pair of light blue jeans that highlighted her seductive hip curves and slender legs.
The reason why I remember it so clearly is because after she put on her skirt that day, she said:
Don't say I'm bullying you. You wear my skirt and I wear your shirt. It's fair.
It's fair indeed.
The agreement that whatever you wear, I wear, made Watanabe Toru unable to refute it, and he felt happy and painful.
"Ah, isn't this Watanabe-san who keeps saying he loves me but hasn't contacted me for two days?" As soon as they met, Kiyono Rin ridiculed him with a smile on her face.
“…”
Watanabe Toru pursed his lips as if something was stuck between his teeth, and looked up and down and left and right at the interior of the car, but didn't look at the two people.
Kujo Miki glanced at him, smiled and said to Kiyono Rin, "Come up."
Kiyono Rin got in the car and sat with Kujo Miki - Watanabe Toru was sitting opposite Kujo Miki.
The car started slowly and drove towards the avenue.
"I'll show you something." Kujo Miki took out her cell phone. "This."
Kiyono Rin leaned forward slightly and looked at the screen with her.
"Mr. Watanabe Toru," she said teasingly, moving her eyes from her phone to Watanabe Toru, "I know you like being scolded, but I didn't expect you have a personal hobby of dressing up as a girl."
"It's Miki who has a fetish for making me wear her clothes, Ms. Kiyono Rin."
"Thanks to you ." Kujo Miki smiled and said to Kiyono Rin, "In the past, I punished him by asking him to lick my legs. That was too easy for him."
"There's no need to tell me this." Qingye Rin looked at her coldly.
"Haha." Kujo Miki laughed happily. Seeing that Kiyono Rin's face was getting colder and colder, she said, "Keep watching. I took a lot of pictures."
Here are two of the reasons why she specifically called upon Kiyono Rin.
The car drove to Tsukiji and the three of them entered a restaurant.
The restaurant has a large Japanese-style courtyard, surrounded by a circle of private rooms with rockery, artificial water and maple leaves.
The proprietress, who was wearing a blue floral kimono, seemed to know Kujo Miki. She took the initiative to ask the waitress, who was also wearing a kimono, to replace the tableware and cushions with new ones.
"You haven't been here for a long time. How are you, Madam Maki?" the proprietress said as she led the three people into the private room.
"I've been feeling pretty energetic lately," said Miki Kujo.
After entering the private room, Toru Watanabe found a seat and sat down.
The proprietress looked at him in surprise.
Toru Watanabe had his back to the alcove, which was the seat of honor according to the customs of the island nation.
"I heard from Director Nagashima who came here for dinner recently that Mrs. Maki has started handling affairs again." As the proprietress said this, she observed Kujo Miki.
The eldest daughter of the Kujo family didn't care at all about the young man sitting in the seat of honor without permission.
While Miki Kujo dealt with the proprietress, Toru Watanabe looked around the private room.
Each private room in this restaurant is decorated in a different style.
The private room for three people is designed in the style of a farmhouse, with a stove at the entrance, black and smooth pillars, and a white paper door.
There are also straw hats and raincoats on the wall.
"Go ahead and do your work." Although she used honorifics, Kujo Miki's tone of voice was that of an order to the proprietress. "Have someone serve the food directly, and don't worry about us."
The proprietress of a restaurant is like the proprietress of a bar in Ginza, she will constantly chat and drink with the customers.
"Okay, please enjoy your meal." The proprietress gracefully took a few steps back before turning around and leaving the private room.
During the meal, Kiyono Rin asked Watanabe Toru what he did during his trip.
Because there was plenty of time, Watanabe Toru went into more detail this time, even mentioning that the air in Hokkaido is better than that in Tokyo.
As he was talking, he suddenly realized something.
Will this kind of "checking up on him" last forever? And there are four of them. No, Asu Mai may not care where he goes or what he does.
Thinking of this, Toru Watanabe looked at Kiyono Rin, who was chatting with Miki Kujo about the differences between Kanto cuisine and Kyoto cuisine.
In order to match the pastoral atmosphere of the private room, even the food is farm-style cuisine, with main dishes including grilled carp, fried tofu, and potatoes cooked with butternut squid.
"If it were in Kyoto, the taste would be a little lighter," said Rin Kiyono.
Kujo Miki nodded: "Potatoes will also be replaced with taro."
Toru Watanabe, who grew up in the countryside of Iwate Prefecture, couldn't get into such a topic.
"It's been a month since the cultural festival, it's time to settle the matter between her and me." Watanabe Toru thought as he looked at Kiyono Rin.
After finishing their meal with red bean soup, the three of them left Tsukiji and on Harumi-dori, they could already see the bright lights of Ginza ahead.
Getting off at Roku-chome, every store on the street casts exquisite lights onto the sidewalk.
In the evening breeze, Kiyono Rin and Kujo Miki held hands, Watanabe Toru walked beside them, and the three of them paced on the streets of Shinjuku at night.
Occasionally they would walk into a boutique and the two would discuss in low voices, occasionally asking for Toru Watanabe's opinion.
Tired of walking, the three of them sat on the open-air seats of a coffee shop.
"It's time to change it." Miki Kujo looked at Toru Watanabe's left hand and suddenly said.
"This?" Toru Watanabe raised his wrist, the black watch was heavy.
"I bought it last year, and it's not worth much." Kujo Miki's tone sounded as if she was going to exchange it for a pair of chopsticks.
"I don't like watches, but I like this one very much, so that's it," said Toru Watanabe.
Miki Kujo didn't insist that he change, she just mentioned it casually.
"I'll buy it for you?" Kiyono Rin said to Watanabe Toru with a smile.
"What to buy? By the way, speaking of shopping, I brought you some specialties from Hakodate." Watanabe Toru took out his cell phone. "I have the stuff. Let me show you the photos first."
"The topic was changed very naturally." Kujo Miki praised.
"Meiji, you taught me well." Watanabe Toru found the photo of the gift and placed the phone in the middle of the small round table. "Pick one."
Qingye Rin gave a helpless smile, then let it go and leaned forward slightly.
The night breeze of early November blew, and Watanabe Toru smelled the scent of shampoo on her body. Then Kujo Miki also moved forward slightly, and another familiar scent came over.
The three of them gathered around their phone and started talking.
"What is this?" asked Qingye Rin.
"Frog, toilet, pig." Toru Watanabe replied.
"Who is the frog? Who is the toilet? Who is the pig?" asked Miki Kujo.
"I should buy a frog riding on a panda or a frog on a pig's back, not a frog sitting on the toilet," said Toru Watanabe.
"Reason?" Qingye Rin asked.
"You can't say you are toilets, right? So I have to be a toilet myself. If I buy a frog riding a panda, at least I can get a piggyback ride."
"Then I'll be a frog." Qingye Rin said, "It just so happens that you've carried me like this before."
Miki Kujo looked at Toru Watanabe.
"Miki." Toru Watanabe raised a finger.
"Go ahead."
"I suddenly remembered a famous saying: 'Love is not about looking at each other, but about looking in the same direction.'"
"You're done?"
"Please let me explain."
"Um."
"I think what this sentence means is: Miki, you shouldn't keep staring at me, but stare at the frog with me." Watanabe Toru pointed at Kiyono Rin.
"Are you a pig, or am I a pig?" asked Miki Kujo.
"If you want to be a pig, I can give it to you, as long as you want."
Kujo Miki sat up straight and pointed at Shinjuku Avenue beside her: "Go up and pick a car you like."
"You can only get a driver's license when you are 18 years old. There is no point in buying a car now. Let's wait until next year."
"I told you to find a car and kill yourself."
"Huh?"
"Although it's a lie," Qing Ye Lin also sat up straight, "but I can understand how Meiji feels right now."
"What?"
"That's enough." Miki Kujo gave Toru Watanabe a blank look.
Toru Watanabe leaned back in his chair and the three of them laughed.
He did not dislike the situation where the two young ladies were competing against each other, and he could even feel the feminine beauty of both of them;
He also didn't hate being questioned.
Getting your brain working and coming up with good ideas is a great way to exercise your brain.
"You haven't chosen yet," he reminded.
"Since you are a pig, I can only be the pig carrying the frog." said Kujo Miki.
Qingye Rin had no objection and asked for the frog sitting on the toilet.
She took a sip of hot coffee and suddenly asked, "Is this really a specialty of Hakodate? Can't we buy it in Tokyo?"
" Maybe." Watanabe Toru had no idea of the actual situation. "Tomorrow I'll take these two ornaments to the club classroom and decorate them there. They'll have a stronger presence than leaving them at home."
Under the trees in front of the cafe, a few people came and played jazz music with their instruments.
The sound of the saxophone flows gently around.
Time drifts away with the sound of musical instruments.
"You have to go to school tomorrow, let's go back." said Qingno Rin.
"I'll ask the driver to take you." Miki Kujo sent a message to the driver on her cell phone.
"Aren't you going back?" asked Qingye Rin.
"I slept too much during the day today, so I wanted to walk around a bit more... It's nice to walk back home once in a while."
"I'll accompany you." Watanabe Toru said to Kujo Miki.
It's impossible to leave Kujo Miki outside alone.
"Isn't this natural? Why?" Kujo Miki looked at Watanabe Toru, "Do you still want to go back with Rin?"
"...Of course I will accompany you in this matter."
After Kiyono Rin left in the car, Watanabe Toru and Kujo Miki held hands and walked towards the "Imperial Palace" together.
At the intersection in front of the Sony Ginza store, while waiting for the traffic light, Miki Kujo turned her head and glanced at Toru Watanabe a few times.
"What's wrong?" Watanabe Toru asked in confusion.
Miki Kujo said nothing, just looked at him.
Watanabe Toru touched his face and said, "Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing." Kujo Miki withdrew her gaze.
Watanabe Toru was confused, but there were people everywhere around him, so he planned to ask after returning to the villa.
Miki Kujo looked like nothing was wrong, they were still holding hands, their hands swinging gently.
The traffic light has the last three seconds, two seconds, and one second.
Just as Watanabe Toru was about to take a step, Kujo Miki suddenly let go of her hand, jumped onto his back, and clamped her legs around his waist.
Toru Watanabe quickly put his hands around her thighs.
"Let's go!" said Kujo Miki with a smile.
"That's it." Watanabe Toru found it funny.
What about sleeping during the day and wanting to walk back? I was staring at her just now, but nothing happened - it was all because of what Qing Ye Lin said: "It just so happens that you carried me on your back like this before."
"Xiaolian wanted to eat persimmons that day, so Qingye rode on my shoulders to pick them for her," explained Toru Watanabe.
"Does her legs feel comfortable when they're clamped together?" Miki Kujo bit Watanabe Toru's ear and rubbed it gently with her teeth.
"Do you think she would do such a thing?"
"Humph, who knows? She won't do it, but if you do, will she refuse?"
"...I'm not that kind of person either." Watanabe Toru said, "She's riding on my shoulders. Do you want that?"
"There are so many people here, you are so embarrassed. I can't afford to lose that person."
“This has…”
"Silly boy, the traffic light is red, hurry up!" Miki Kujo clamped her legs around Toru Watanabe's waist.
The green light has begun to flash.
"Hold on tight!" Toru Watanabe ran over quickly, carrying Miki Kujo on his back.
"Faster! Hahaha!" Kujo Miki's cheerful and pleasant laughter was left on the sidewalk.
After passing the traffic light, Toru Watanabe still did not stop and kept running with Miki Kujo on his back.
"You can stop now, idiot!"
The people around them looked at the two of them, thinking they were rushing to catch the last train.
Toru Watanabe thought of the oak tree at the school.
It is said that the larger the oak tree's crown, the wider its roots.
The huge oak tree that blocked out the sun was once just a nut that a squirrel could easily eat. Now it had to be completely uprooted, and the entire road from the Shenchuan school gate to the school building had to be dug up.
In the past, an oak seed loved Kujo Miki so much;
Now, a huge oak tree that blocks out the sun and the sky likes Kujo Miki so much, it likes Kujo Miki very much.
