Chapter 1004 Yukinoshita Yukino: I am a cat

Kato Megumi quickly cut the whole round melon in half, and seeing there were ice cubes in the refrigerator, she took some and put it underneath to cool it down a little.

Over there, Mitsuha Miyamizu had already found a white round table for afternoon tea and set it up in the yard. The sun was sliding down to the west, and the trees along the courtyard wall cast a green shade, which was perfect for cooling off.

The planning and design of the entire building of Ruyiliao, including the courtyard, is very reasonable. You can see the morning light when you open the window in the morning, and the setting sun will shine into the living room in the afternoon. Even in the hottest summer, you can still find plenty of green shade during the day.

Eriri also took off her hair dryer cap and let her wet blonde hair fall on the back of the chair. At this temperature, there was no need to worry about catching a cold.

Hui walked out of the living room with a fruit plate, walked barefoot to the table and sat down.

Looking at the emerald green and round melon, even the saintly girl who "is not happy with things nor sad with herself" couldn't help swallowing.

"Ah... Eating the whole thing at once~~ What a luxurious way to eat~~"

The three girls sat around a round table. Mitsuha had quickly changed into shorts and a T-shirt. Among the three, only Kato Megumi was wearing long pajamas, as the other two had already entered summer early.

The midday breeze was warm. The Edo Higan Cherry Blossoms, which had already grown lush and leafy, were shaken by the wind. The cherry blossoms that had been hiding and waiting to bloom next year absorbed all the heat in the wind. The cool breeze slid down the veins of the leaves, fell on the girl's hair, and brushed the corners of her clothes.

The girl's hair on her forehead swayed slightly, but she was too lazy to tidy it up. They all stared at the plate of emerald green melon in the center of the white round table. For a moment, no one moved, as if some ceremony was being held.

Just watching quietly, a cool feeling seeps into the body, and a hint of sweetness seems to appear on the tip of the tongue.

Ying Lili slurped her saliva, looked around, and opened her mouth with difficulty:

"eat?"

The witch nodded vigorously: "Eat!"

Kato Megumi didn't say anything, but just nodded her head quickly. She had been very greedy for a long time.

The next second, the three girls reached out together, and Eriri picked up a small piece and threw it on the grass to Momotaro.

Hui took a deep breath, then opened her mouth and took a bite. The next moment, she was intoxicated by the sweet taste, and her dark eyes closed softly.

"So sweet~~"

The girl hummed from her nose.

Eriri beside her also hummed a few times to show her agreement, while Mitsuha just ate without saying a word. This was probably a habit she developed when she was in Itomori. After all, if she was a little slower, she would eat less than Yotsuha, which would be a big loss.

The puppy on the ground had a hard time eating, probably because it drank too much water.

For a moment, the only sounds in the courtyard were the rustling of leaves, the sound of a puppy eating melon, and the gurgling of water.

Ying Lili's emotions had gone through many ups and downs before, and she was already tired from playing. She continued to consume sugar, and her little face was curled up in a smile.

Kato Megumi also enjoyed the meal very much. In other occasions, she would probably follow the upbringing of girls and eat in small bites, stopping obediently when she had eaten almost the amount, just like she did during the party at Kato's house.

But seeing Ying Lili's mouth full of juice, her mouth couldn't help but open wider.

Look at Miss Miyamizu next to her. She is such an elegant woman, but she is also so genuine when eating.

In short, just eat!

After about ten minutes, the three of them finally finished eating the whole melon.

Although she was full of vigor, the girl didn’t have a big appetite.

“So satisfying~~”

Hui sighed slowly, leaning back in her chair.

Eriri took an ice cube and played with it in her palm. She ate elegantly at school and outside, but at home she was always very untidy. This time, the melon juice on her palm was sticky and she was playing with the ice cube.

Miss Miko was much better, and was slowly wiping her lips with a beautiful towel. After hearing the exclamation of the girl with the bob haircut, she looked over and said with a smile:

"Why don't you take one home with you, Kei? It's a specialty of Nara, and let your family have a taste of it."

Upon hearing this, Hui quickly waved her hands and tried to refuse. Unlike Yukinoshita Yukino, she was not used to the family tradition of being dragged away after eating.

But before she could say anything, Eriri spoke up:

"Don't be polite, Hui. Mitsuha's grandparents are big landlords in Nara. They have as much of this stuff as you want. If you don't mind the trouble, you can even come here to get the rice we eat at home."

The expression on this girl's face when she spoke was so righteous, and after she finished speaking, she seriously praised how delicious the rice from the Sanye family was.

"...I can eat two big bowls when I'm hungry!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess circled her hands and gestured to show that the bowl was this big.

Kato Megumi smiled calmly, indicating that she understood the bowl that Eriri used for eating.

With Eriri's introduction, and in order to allay Kei's concerns, Mitsuha Miyamizu also gave a brief introduction to her insignificant home.

The Mizoguchi family is a big landowner. Although their financial resources cannot compare with those famous large-scale enterprises, they have an extraordinary influence in Nara. After all, too many people depend on them for their livelihood.

The eating here refers to eating in the physical sense, including rice, vegetables, fruits...as long as it is grown in the fields, the Mizoguchi family has no shortage of it.

Not to mention things like rice and fruit that are easy to store, Tokyo needs to import huge amounts of supplies from other places every day. The trucks that leave the Mizoguchi family's land will bring the portion for Master Miyamizu Toshiki.

Even if it was fresh vegetables, if Sanye wanted, he could eat those picked on the same day.

This may sound both extravagant and petty, but this is Tokyo, the second largest city in the world.

In those top-notch private custom restaurants, when showing the ingredients before cooking, the general will proudly tell the guests, "These are the freshly picked vegetables today. They are very, very delicious."

"...Anyway, that's about it. If you like it, take some back with you."

Miyamizu Mitsuha said with a smile, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, thinking that she had a really good life. When she was still in Itomori, she could savor the cucumbers sent by the townspeople as delicious fruits.

But then again, even during the years when she was a witch, she actually ate a lot. Whether it was vegetables or fruits, the townspeople would continuously bring them to the mountain as offerings to her.

Thinking of this, Mitsuha couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Why didn't she think the fruit was so delicious when she was in Itomori? After thinking for two seconds, her science brain found the answer:

Ah, it’s really a question of price!

Most of the produce sent by the townspeople is outside the agricultural cooperative’s plan. Although the quality is not bad at all, they cannot be sold for money. They are just given away for free!

The vegetables sent by my grandparents have already been graded and can be sent to high-end fruit stores and sold as luxury goods at sky-high prices.

Well, expensive things taste good!

The miko nodded, indicating that there was no problem with the logic, and then she shared her insights with Eriri and Kato Megumi.

Ying Lili said that was not true. She had been eating expensive fruits before, but none of them tasted as good as the melons that Sanye brought today. The free ones were the most delicious!

Kato Hui expressed envy. She had never thought about such a question before. Her 17 years of life had not given her the opportunity to compare. In short...

"Sanye, your melon is so sweet~~"

The girl accepted the kindness with a smile, then followed Sanye to the door. The two of them worked together to carry in a large box of fruits from outside the Meridian Gate. As expected, they were all fruits of excellent quality.

Eriri quietly washed her mouth and changed into a clean T-shirt.

They returned to the courtyard and sat down again. Mitsuye carried out a recliner from the warehouse. The three girls lay down on it together, and then they all let out a moan of satisfaction at the same time.

I want to sleep...

Eriri squinted her eyes and looked at the sky through the gaps between the leaves. The air quality in Tokyo was obviously very good today because the sky was blue.

Just when she was about to fall asleep, her shoulder was suddenly shaken.

"Hey, hey, don't sleep, get up and let me blow dry your hair!"

The sound woke up the sleepy Eriri. Before she could react, she saw Mitsuha picking up the hair dryer and starting to blow it.

"what!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess screamed:

"I won't blow! I want to wait to blow Kyousuke!"

"Protests are ineffective~~"

Miyamizu Mitsuha smiled and played with Eriri casually as if she were a doll.

Her Royal Highness the Princess sat cross-legged on the recliner, waving her arms angrily but not moving obediently.

Hui next to her curled her lips slightly and took this opportunity to talk about what had just happened at home... in Ruyiliao.

"…I was shocked when I saw it. I thought Momotaro could actually do this~~ But I didn't expect it was Tsuki who caught it. The little dog even held the mouse in front of me with its head held high~~"

Mitsuha Miyamizu was a good listener and exclaimed once or twice from time to time.

However, Ying Lili, who was being toyed with, looked coldly at the puppy chewing the melon rind on the ground. She thought that the puppy was an ungrateful wolf who gave the melon to Hui instead of herself.

Under the cherry tree, the three girls were chatting and laughing casually, washing some fruits to eat from time to time, looking very comfortable.

other side

The silver-gray Alpha slowly changed lanes, driving from the main road to the branch road, and the speed gradually decreased. The AC in the car was not affected at all.

"…It's really surprising that you, Hojo, have such a rich reserve of knowledge about cats."

Yukino Yukinoshita's pretty face was full of surprise. In order to test the compatibility between Hojo Kyosuke and the cat cafe, she threw out several cat-related topics, from the habits of cats of different qualities to the relationship between humans and cats, from the shallow to the deep, and unexpectedly, the other party answered all of them perfectly.

God has mercy on me. The cat-loving girl is thinking that if someone has a question that he can't answer, she will take him to a cat cafe to do an observation experiment...

Damn... Doesn't this guy have any flaws at all!

Yukinoshita quietly clenched her fists, feeling very unwilling.

I just don't know whether this reluctance is due to not finding an excuse to invite Hojo Kyosuke to the cat cafe, or because she is unwilling to not win elegantly in the cat knowledge competition.

Beijo Kyosuke, who was sitting on the other side, raised his eyebrows and said with some pride:

"What's so strange about this? Just looking at my grades, you should know that I have a good memory, right?"

Yukino pursed her lips. Indeed, memory is probably the most important thing in learning. Even in science and engineering, memory is absolutely the top priority.

The girl looked at someone angrily and said, "It's okay that you beat me in the school exams, but do you want to be competitive here too?"

Oh, men, what a ridiculous and boring desire to win!

The cherry-like lips slightly opened, and the girl said somewhat harshly:

"Of course I know you have a good memory, but it's strange about one thing."

Hojo Kyosuke smiled: "What's strange?"

"When a person observes cats, interacts with cats, and understands cats... he or she will naturally be infected by the cuteness of cats, and his or her heart will become peaceful, and he or she will become a person who is full of love for the world."

When Yukinoshita Yukino said this, her expression naturally became kind (?), but the next second her eyes turned cold:

"And you, oh~ Hojo~~ Excuse me, you look more like you spend your days with puppies."

Then, the girl smiled in a reserved but polite manner, indifferently.

After hearing this, Hojo Kyosuke was stunned at first, then he started laughing: "Hahahahaha~~"

"Are you praising me?"

He looked at Yukinoshita with a sly smile and said teasingly:

"After all, you said before that you were not good at dealing with dogs. Did you mean that you found me difficult to deal with?"

Then he suddenly raised his voice and imitated the girl's tone and said:

"Oh~ The extremely smart and omnipotent Yukinoshita-sama actually finds it difficult to deal with me. I, I am so happy!"

Hojo Kyosuke's performance was even more exaggerated than the clown in Noh drama. Yukinoshita Yukino, who was about to get angry, was immediately amused and laughed out loud. She was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth, not wanting to let that bastard be proud.

This guy is truly a "ruthless pickup machine". His ability to make girls laugh is comparable to my knowledge of cats.

Yukinoshita thought silently in her heart.

Hojo Kyosuke over there spoke again at this time:

“I didn’t actually try to understand my memory, I just looked up information about cats while writing and I memorized it accidentally.”

"writing!?"

Yukinoshita Yukino exclaimed, and her light blue eyes suddenly lit up shockingly.

Is it something like "I am a Cat"? !

The girl's mind was instantly filled with endless joy and anticipation.

She sneered at Hojo Kyosuke's character, but her talent was unquestionable. To be able to win the highest award in the Japanese mystery literature world at the age of sixteen, such talent could be ranked among the best in human history.

If he could write a cat novel, then…

Ah... just a little fantasy and the girl couldn't help but feel happy.

She looked at someone with burning eyes. Now! We can finally go to a cat cafe together! After all, writing requires collecting materials, right?

Hojo Kyosuke smiled and nodded, saying:

"Yeah, think about it, cats are creatures."

"It's very suitable for use as a killing tool."

(-_)?

Yukinoshita Yukino's expression changed drastically in an instant.

"Huh?" (End of chapter)
