I'm weird in Tokyo

Chapter 3 3. Kurosaki Sakurako
In the poorest residential area in Edogawa District, Kurosaki Ryoma pushed a ramen stall back to his doorstep.

With its mottled walls, his house looked particularly dilapidated.

As soon as the door was opened, there was the sound of someone cooking in the kitchen.

Kurosaki Ryoma pushed the ramen trolley into the house, and after disposing of the trolley, he took out his mobile phone and checked the time.

10:30 in the middle of the night.

Thinking of the person in the kitchen waiting for him to cook until now, Kurosaki Ryoma felt a little heavy.

Walking into the kitchen, one can see a woman with an apron and a gentle temperament washing the pot.

Two Japanese side dishes have been prepared on the stove, and she is about to deodorize the pot and make another dish.

Kurosaki Ryoma stared at the gentle woman concentrating on cooking for a while, adjusted his mood and breath, and said:

"Sister Yingzi, I'm back!"

Upon hearing Kurosaki Ryoma's voice, the gentle woman who was washing the pot froze for a moment, then turned around and smiled gently at him.

"Did Ryoma come back? I just happened to be cooking, and we can have dinner after cooking one more dish!"

The gentle woman's name is Kurosaki Sakurako, who is Kurosaki Ryoma's older sister, but not her own sister.

Kurosaki Ryoma only knew that as soon as he crossed over, his parents were gone, and it was Kurosaki Sakurako's father who took him in.

It's a pity that Kurosaki Sakurako's father died when he and Kurosaki Sakurako were very young.

It was under such a difficult environment that both siblings went to college.

This is thanks to Kurosaki Ryoma's parents and Kurosaki Sakurako's parents.

Parents on both sides have left them a lot of savings.

Living frugally and living in two ancestral houses, they could barely get by.

Seeing Kurosaki Sakurako's hard work, Kurosaki Ryoma hesitated, and suggested: "Sister Sakura, you don't have to make a special trip to wait for me to come back to cook, you can eat by yourself first."

"How can this work? How can you feel at home when you eat alone? Ryoma gets up so early every day to set up a stall. As a sister, I have to do something for Ryoma!"

Kurosaki Sakurako's answer moved Kurosaki Ryoma very much, but he still felt that Kurosaki Sakurako should think more about her own affairs.

He is so old, she doesn't need to do so much for him.

So he continued: "But sister Yingzi, aren't you also at work? You have also paid for this family, there is no need to starve for my affairs!"

Speaking of going to work, Sakurako Kurosaki, who was cooking, had an unnatural expression on her face.

But with her back to Kurosaki Ryoma, he couldn't find her unnaturalness.

And as an older sister, Sakurako Kurosaki quickly put away her unnatural expression and pretended to be angry.

"Ryoma, do you think your Yingzi sister's cooking skills are poor, and you deliberately find excuses not to eat my dishes?"

Kurosaki Ryoma didn't know that she was pretending to be angry, and he hurriedly explained:
"How could it be? I have grown up cooking the dishes made by Sister Yingzi almost from a young age. How could I dislike the dishes made by Sister Yingzi? I just..."

Without giving him the real reason, Kurosaki Sakurako, who successfully changed the subject, interrupted him:
"That's fine. The food is ready. Ryoma, come and serve it with your sister!"

"Sister Yingzi, you can't change the subject every time you bring up this question!"

Staring helplessly at Kurosaki Sakurako who had already left the kitchen and pretended not to hear, Kurosaki Ryoma could only follow out with the remaining dishes.

This happens every time, whenever this issue is involved, his sister Yingzi will always have various reasons to make him speechless.

There was nothing he could do about Sakurako Kurosaki, so Ryoma Kurosaki could only temporarily put aside the idea of ​​persuading her and have a belated dinner with her.

"Is today's food delicious?"

"Well, it's the familiar smell of Sakurako!"

"Then today's stall is going well, Ryoma?"

"Fortunately, there are quite a lot of people during meal times, and it may be a bit busy, but it is a bit deserted at other times."

"It's good to have business. Now our Ryoma is also a small boss. Maybe my sister and I will also help you in the future!"

"Sister Yingzi, don't make fun of me, I'm just a shabby stall, it's not bad if I can maintain a normal life!"

Sakurako Kurosaki squinted her gentle and beautiful eyes, and teased her younger brother: "At the beginning, you yelled in front of me that you would no longer be a migrant worker. I was shocked by you at that time. Your voice is too loud!"

Speaking of this matter, Kurosaki Ryoma felt particularly embarrassed in retrospect.

If he didn't want to be a part-time worker, he wouldn't do it. Why did he yell at his sister Yingzi at that time?
That's all right now, Miss Yingzi would tease him about this from time to time.

Kurosaki Ryoma coughed: "Sister Sakurako, don't mention such a shameful thing again."

However, in the next second, Kurosaki Sakura held her beautiful chin with both hands, and whispered softly:

"But after shouting out, Ryoma's terribly dark face that day was relieved, which made my sister feel the meaning of existence, just to be Ryoma's warmest harbor!"

Kurosaki Ryoma was a little moved by his sister and cried: "Sister Sakura..."

In this warm atmosphere, Sakurako Kurosaki changed her face again, and teased Ryoma Kurosaki: "Okay, stop being so sensational, or someone will cry!"

Kurosaki Ryoma is speechless about this sister who is sometimes gentle and sometimes likes to tease him.

He took a few mouthfuls of food: "How can I, a big man, cry?"

"Yes, yes, our Longma is a big man!"

Enjoying the joy of getting along with Kurosaki Ryoma, Kurosaki Sakurako changed the topic again.

"Ryoma, did any girls fall in love with you today?"

"You think too much, Miss Yingzi!"

"I won't think too much. Many girls liked our Ryoma when he was a student. Now he's twenty. Don't you think about finding a suitable girlfriend? Or do you think you have a girlfriend you have a secret relationship with, hiding it from my sister?"

Facing Kurosaki Sakurako's gossip, Kurosaki Ryoma supported his forehead: "Sister Sakura, our family is already difficult enough, if you ask me to bring another one of similar family background, won't it increase the burden on our family?"

Sakurako Kurosaki's desire to gossip continues: "Then find a rich woman, not a rich woman, but a rich lolita!"

Is it already there?Tell me to make my sister happy for you too! "

"No, Sister Yingzi, even if there is a rich woman and a rich loli who really likes me, the family members may not agree, you think too well of your brother!"

Kurosaki Ryoma firmly denied that he is not in the mood to fall in love now.

At least until his family's situation improves, he doesn't consider finding a girlfriend.

While chatting with Sakurako-san, Kurosaki Ryoma felt full.

Glancing at Sakurako Kurosaki who had half of her meal left, he said, "I'm full, Sister Sakurako, and a little tired. I'll wash up and go to bed. You eat slowly!"

"Ryoma, wait a minute!"

"Ok?"

"Do you really not have a girlfriend yet?"

Meeting Kurosaki Sakurako's suspicious and gossip eyes, Kurosaki Ryoma imitated her tone and sighed.

"I really don't have a girlfriend, Sister Sakurako!"

Confirming that he really doesn't have a girlfriend, Sakurako Kurosaki's pretty face is filled with a gentle smile.

"Okay, it's okay, go take a shower and sleep, Ryoma, good night!"
