[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Kazuya left Tsuruga Ren's wooden house.

Before that, he and Tsuruga Lian spent the whole afternoon in the living room on the first floor, chatting a lot with the delicious snacks and cold drinks provided by the wooden house.

Their respective experiences after separation, each other's current living conditions, their new friends, his studies and baseball, his career and the entertainment world...

Although we have been separated for many years, the slight separation and alienation caused by time still exist, but compared to the beginning, it can be said that it has dissipated a lot.

Tsuruga Ren originally wanted to stay with Kazuya to have dinner together, but before that, Kazuya received a message from Tatsuya, saying that there was a bonfire meeting on the beach tonight, Uesugi and Asakura After discussing with each other, the two families decided not to go back to the wooden house and start a fire for cooking. Instead, they found a small shop on the beach to settle their dinner, and then stayed there to wait for the bonfire meeting to start.

Tatsuya sent a message, just asking Kawa if he wanted to meet them, and then we would have dinner together.

Judging by his appearance, he is determined and will not miss the bonfire meeting at night.

— But think about it.

It's rare to have this kind of excitement, and I don't know that Kazuya returned to the wooden house not because he was a little tired, but because Tatsuya had a "date", how could he think that Kazuya would not go to participate.

And of course, Kazuya would not refuse his brother's kindness.

Although the bonfire meeting started at [-]:[-] p.m., it was a good pastime to watch the staff build the bonfire stand before that. In addition, Tatsuya also awkwardly hinted in the message that his early departure during the day made his family a little worried , So Kazuya thought twice, and chose to rush to the beach to join everyone instead of staying at Ren Tsuruga after dinner and then going to the beach to attend the conference.

Tsuruga Ren has been sending Kazuya to the end of the path in front of the wooden house.

He originally wanted to continue sending it, but was stopped by Kazuya at the right time.

It gets dark late in summer, and even though it is already five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky outside is still very bright. Tsuruga Ren, who only wears a pair of sunglasses to cover up, is really not suitable for being exposed to the sight of more people .

"Let's send it here," Kazuya turned around and faced Tsuruga Ren face to face: "Are you going back tomorrow?"

"Yeah." The man whose face was half covered by the sunglasses nodded without showing any expression.

——In fact, if Mr. Broker hadn't tried his best to mediate for him, he wouldn't even be able to spare this day's vacation.

However, after seeing Kazuya's affirmative answer, there was a very obvious look of regret on his face, and Tsuruga Lian, who was originally a little depressed, couldn't help cheering up in an instant.

"Don't worry, I won't let me rush back to work overnight." He curled his mouth, raised his hand and poked Kazuya's cheek as he spoke: "So don't be so sullen, it doesn't look like Kazuya at all."

After poking, he showed a smile like a child who succeeded in pranking.

This entire afternoon, Kazuya, who had never seen such a pure and happy smile on the other party's face, couldn't help being slightly startled when he saw this.

When he realized it, he had already stretched out his hand and firmly held the opponent's hand...

"...Kazuya?"

The person who was suddenly grabbed looked puzzled, but seeing that Kazuya himself was also a little dazed, he still held Kazuya's hand thoughtfully:

"what happened?"

——While shaking back and asking softly.

Kazuya answered for a while, neither did he answer nor did he not.

How to answer?

Is he supposed to ask "Why are you smiling so much only this time? What the hell happened to you?"?

Hasn't it already been decided that before Tsuruga Lian confesses to him, she won't ask any more questions?

Sure enough, he still underestimated the weight of the other party in his heart.

And also shook his head.

"It's nothing. I just suddenly thought... Since you can stay here overnight, do you want to come together for the bonfire meeting at night?"

——At first, I just wanted to find a reason to cover up my gaffe, but the more I talked about it later, the more Kazuya felt that his idea might be unexpectedly feasible?

"It's impossible for you to go there with me now - the light is so abundant, and it's summer, you can't do too much camouflage, even if you wear sunglasses and a hat, there is a high risk of being recognized."

"But if it's nighttime..."

"Even if there is a bonfire on the beach, the light is still relatively dim. Be careful and avoid obvious light sources...it shouldn't be so easy to be spotted, right?"

The more He Ye said, the more reliable he felt, and his tone became more and more flying:

"So what's up, Lian? Come join me at the bonfire meeting?"

"..." Tsuruga Lian was bewitched by the bright light in his eyes, and almost subconsciously nodded her head in agreement.

However, before he really nodded, reason returned to the cage first...

"Won't it cause trouble to you, Kazuya?" He lowered his head, looking straight into Kazuya's eyes through the dark lenses on his face: "Are you going to attend the bonfire meeting with your family? If I go too... ..."

How will he explain his identity to Kazuya's family at that time?

You can't deceive them with fake names, can you?

He wants to continue this childhood friendship with Kazuya for a long time. How could he deceive his friend's family at the beginning?

Tsuruga Lian frowned slightly.

Unexpectedly, Kazuya's eyes widened in surprise in exchange for his question: "What are you talking about, Lian."

"Are you kidding me?" He said, "Of course I should introduce you to my parents and brother, right? There's nothing to hide about your identity, it's not shameful."

"...Pfft! That's right, Kazuya."

The person who had been "taught" once again was taken aback when he heard this, and then showed a beautiful smile that was extremely gentle:

"He is also very transparent. Unlike me, I always think too much."

So sometimes I think about it, and in the end I don't know what else to do.

Even the passageway where the exit could be faintly seen at first, but because of fear of missing something or missing something, it got deeper and deeper in the fork in the road. In the end, even the clearly visible light source leading to the outside became blurred. I don't know...

He lowered his eyes slightly.

"Then listen to Kazuya, I will go to the beach to find you when the conference is about to start?"

——When he spoke again, his tone had returned to normal, as if the gentleness, sighs, and bewilderment before were just Kazuya's illusion.

And also secretly sighed.

On the surface, there was still a smile on his face as usual:

"Well. Contact me when you arrive, and remember to dress yourself in a less conspicuous way."

"Unremarkable..." Tsuruga Lian couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard the words, "I'm just a performer, not a makeup artist. Except for sunglasses and baseball caps, the only thing left is masks and scarves. But those..."

"Of course you are not allowed to wear it!" Kazuya almost wanted to knock him on the head!

Wearing sunglasses and a hat to protect yourself from the sun at the seaside in this hot weather is fine. Wearing a mask and scarf, even if people don’t think you’re pretending, it’s too suspicious, right?

Will be called to the police!

He also sighed heavily:

"Forget it...you put your hat down a little bit, and try not to talk."

So as not to be recognized from the voice again.

Seeing his helpless and powerless appearance, Tsuruga Lian raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Okay." He heard himself responding in a gentle voice, "Then see you then?"

"Well, see you then."

***

When Kazuya rushed to the beach, it had already become quite lively.

A row of small shops on the coast are decorated with small colored lights in front of and behind them, emitting a faint light in the darkened sky.

In front of some stores, there are cute cartoon billboards with various words of "today's special price" depicted cutely and conspicuously. He also walked along the beach. He didn't plan to buy anything at first, but when he found it When Tatsuya talked about the fried noodle shop, he already had all kinds of things in his hands, such as grilled squid and taiyaki, and various snacks, and he even bought a bottle of iced soda. Dadai, seeing the disbelieving and helpless eyes of Tatsuya who ran out to pick him up when he looked at the huge pile of things in his hand, Kazuya smiled wryly——

Affected by the atmosphere, he also made an impulsive purchase.

Tatsuya who approached had already taken half of the weight from his hand.

"Why did you buy so much?" He asked while picking up the bag to check what He Ye bought, "Fortunately, we only ordered the most basic fried noodles for six people in order to wait for you."

Otherwise it would be a waste.

Kazuya stuffed a tasty Takoyaki into Tatsuya's mouth, and seeing him squinting his eyes satisfied, he replied with a smile:

"Walking along the way, I saw that almost every store had a special price. I couldn't help but picked a few that seemed to have a particularly good business and queued up to buy a few. My brother also thinks the taste is good, doesn't he?"

Tatsuya was chewing something in his mouth, so he could only nod his head and say vaguely:

"It's really good... Fortunately, the owner of the store didn't say that you are not allowed to bring your own food."

——This is the default and the right purchase.

Kazuya stuffed another small ball into his mouth with a smile:

"That's really great. Come on brother, let's get rid of this box with me. There are two other boxes in the bag for my parents, Xiaonan, and Uncle Junfu."

Tatsuya managed to swallow the previous mouthful of food, but Kazuya stuffed his mouth full again, and couldn't help but give his younger brother a hard look, which was obviously intentional, in exchange for a sweet smile from Kazuya.

Tatsuya, who was almost choked by fright, suddenly misfired, puffed up his cheeks and started chewing vigorously.

The two brothers walked back to the yakisoba restaurant where the Uesugi and Asakura families stayed in harmony and friendship (?).

There was no room for all the customers in the small storefront, and an outdoor stall was set up on the beach in front of the store.

The two families are located on the side closer to the coast.From here, you can clearly see the bonfire platform being built not far away, and it feels like a special seat.

The Uesugi brothers quickly sat down at the table amidst Haruko and Konan's greetings.

As for the big and small parcels they brought back, everyone at the table expressed a very warm welcome.

Everyone chatted and laughed while eating fried noodles with snacks and iced drinks, and saw that the bonfire table not far away was gradually taking shape in the tense and orderly construction of the staff. After a sufficient rest, the people at the table also got up and gathered in the direction of the flow of people towards the bonfire platform——

eight pm.

The bonfire meeting is about to begin.
