Laugh to death, there are no ordinary people at all

Faced with my implicit reminder, Mr. Sawada also smiled implicitly.

"Yes, people still have to go to bed early at night."

He acted too calmly, and I am too embarrassed to continue to entangle this matter—otherwise it will appear as if I care.

So I naturally changed the subject: "What's the matter with Mr. Sawada?"

He also changed the subject with me very naturally: "That's right, I want to invite you to the barbecue party. I wonder if you and Lixiang have time."

"Barbecue party?"

"Yes, it just so happened that my friend came back." Although there were dark circles under his eyes that couldn't be ignored, Mr. Sawada smiled warmly as always, "Mom decided to make half of the event more lively."

Probably because he was afraid that I would be worried, he blocked my concern of "would it be too much trouble for you" first.

It can be said to be very considerate.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey... When is it?"

"Just this Saturday."

He blinked.

I calculated my recent plan and found that there was nothing that must be completed this Saturday, so I nodded readily.

"No problem, then I will bother you then."

After agreeing on the time and place, Mr. Sawada waved his hand very simply and left.There is no embarrassment at all about whether people should be invited in for a cup of tea.

Whether as a neighbor or just as a man, his actions can undoubtedly be called considerate.

Truly a great neighbor and friend.

——It’s just that private life is hard to describe.

Thinking of his way of working as if he disappeared as soon as he left, plus his allergies to bugs and other lifestyles.I didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.

But he only talks about people alone, he is undoubtedly a considerate and gentle good person.

I would welcome you as a neighbor.

While realizing this, I suddenly realized that I haven't seen Mr. Sawada recently.

Although they live next door, they are almost never touched.

"Being a boss is hard work."

I shook my head, and casually poured some water on Xiao Kaoru who was on the windowsill.

It is very gratifying that Xiao Kaoru is thriving despite being taken care of by a complete novice gardener like me.

"If you come to the door, you still have to bring something."

I thought about what to bring to the barbecue party.

Although it is the party who accepted the invitation, it is not good to just eat and drink at other people's homes empty-handed.

I'm a little distressed.

After all, generally speaking, the most suitable thing is to bring home-made side dishes or snacks, which are not expensive and sincere, and also fit the theme of the party.

But my cooking skills...

I thought of a previous attempt named 'Charcoal Grilled Egg Roll' by Satoshi.I think for the sake of everyone's gastrointestinal health, I'd better not do it.

"Squeeze some juice or something."

With just juice and a juicer, I'm still confident.

——Speaking of which, when I was in the tennis club, I seem to have heard Liu said that there is a legendary health drink called 'Dry Juice'. I heard that it is a drink composed of multiple fruits and vegetables.

It's a pity, if I asked for the recipe back then, I can still show it now.

Prepare and look forward to it, Saturday will arrive soon.

The weather was sunny and sunny, perfect for a backyard BBQ.

At ten o'clock in the morning, I rang the doorbell of Sawada's house with Satoka and the juice I prepared early in the morning.

"Mayou, and Lixiang, good morning."

It was Miss Nana who opened the door. She was wearing an apron and her hands were wet. It could be seen that she ran out of the kitchen in a hurry.

"Morning, Miss Nana, what can I do for you?"

I followed Miss Nana and went in.

Speaking of which, this is also the first time I have entered Miss Nana's house like this.

Because I always feel that I am causing trouble for Ms. Nana, I usually deal with everything at the door. Even if Lixiang came to pick up dinner, he would stand at the entrance of the living room at most.

On the contrary, it was Li Xiang, who put the things in his hand on the table and got into the kitchen familiarly.

"Rika!"

I quickly tried to stop him.

"It's okay, Lixiang is very sensible."

Miss Nana stopped me with a smile.

"Would you like something to eat? The barbecue will be ready after a while." She greeted me warmly.

"No need, I'll just help out together."

Although it is a kitchen killer, I think it is just preparation work, such as washing vegetables and cutting meat, and I am still fine.

"Then you go to the backyard and have a look, Ah Gang's friends are making grills and tables in the backyard."

"no problem."

Ms. Nana showed me the way, and I walked along the corridor to the backyard. After opening the door, I saw a black-haired young man in an apron with his back facing me, fiddling with the stove used to hold the charcoal fire.

"Well, is there anything I can do to help?"

The carbon stove is a dangerous thing, so instead of going up to disturb people, I stood on the verandah and greeted them.

The black-haired young man turned his head when he heard the words, froze for a moment, and then showed a hearty smile:

"You are Ms. Chuanping. If it is convenient, bring the shelf over there."

He didn't politely ask me to stay aside and watch, which made me relax.

To be honest, it is more reassuring to participate in person than to watch politely.

"Are these?" I rolled up my sleeves and moved the prepared shelves over to set them up.

"That's right, ah, that's right, my name is Takeshi Yamamoto, and I'm a friend of Tsuna's." His introduction was also generous, making it easy for people to give high marks.

"I'm Mayu Kawahira, a neighbor who just moved here this year." Although the other party already knew me, I still introduced myself out of politeness. "Please teach me more today."

"Where, I should say that. It's rare for everyone to get together today, and it may be a little noisy. Please bear with me."

"Barbecue party, it should be more lively."

At this time, I didn't realize what the consequences of the chaos called 'noisy' would be, and I just responded with a little expectation.

It’s been a long time since I’ve participated in a lively event with so many people, so I’m looking forward to it when I think about it.

"That's right, it's best to eat something lively—ah, is it a prepared meat skewer? Just put it here."

Takeshi Yamamoto seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. Before I could remind him, he turned his head and said to the gray-haired young man who was walking with a plate.

"what."

With short gray hair, a young man who looked like a foreigner was holding a heavy plate full of meat skewers in both hands.

When I saw this, I wanted to help him, but as soon as I raised my hand, the other party nimbly dodged it.

"I'll do it myself."

He quickly put the two plates on the shelf.

"This is Hayato Guji, who is an old friend of Ganga just like me."

"Judai..." He seemed to want to say something, but he closed his mouth after he started.

"Ten generations?"

I'm a little curious.

"Hey, he said that we were friends who played the tenth generation game console together."

Takeshi Yamamoto thoughtfully explained.

Hayato Gokuji seemed a little unhappy, but he didn't refute after all.

"I'm going to help, and you should do it quickly."

"Yes Yes."

Takeshi Yamamoto turned his head to look at me, with that hearty smile still on his face.

"He doesn't have any malice, he just looks fierce, but he is actually a very nice person."

"Ah... um."

Playing games together and still being friends for so many years sounds like a solid relationship indeed.

There are many people and strength, and the things to be prepared for the barbecue party are quickly brought up in sevens and eights.

Lixiang also sat on the edge of the corridor, dangling her two thin white legs, waiting for her meal.

"Rika didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

I asked Tsunayoshi Sawada, who came out with a skewer of vegetables.Mr. Sawada, who usually wears a suit and leather shoes, also put on an apron.Not to mention, he was surprisingly suitable for wearing an apron.

The home-style apron not only didn't make him look feminine, but it made him look more lively because of a little more life.

"No, Lixiang helped a lot."

He smiled back.

"Collom has been boasting—ah, Colomb is the girl you sent the hot spring buns last time."

As soon as he said that he would send hot spring steamed buns, I was impressed.

"Ah, it's the one who said you...cough, that pretty girl with purple hair?"

It is thanks to her that I know that Mr. Sawada has such a rich and intense nightlife.

"Well, it's her."

Sawada Tsunayoshi wanted to ask what Coulom said, but his instinct told him that it would be better not to ask at this time.

"Everyone, come to the barbecue."

Miss Nana who came last brought all kinds of sauces. She clapped her hands and announced the official start of the barbecue party.

Because everyone is very cheerful and enthusiastic, and I am not restrained. I generously took Li Xiang to choose the skewers I wanted to eat and grill them.

Mr. Yamamoto stands firmly in front of the grill as the master griller, and every time he bakes the grill, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, which is very delicious.

"Could it be that Mr. Yamamoto's job is to barbecue?"

"No, although his family did open a sushi restaurant."

Hearing my words, Mr. Sawada shook his head.

"Ah, a sushi restaurant, that's amazing too."

"Yeah...that."

Mr. Sawada, who walked up to me at some point, hesitated.

"About the amusement park...does Lika need some help?"

Noticing my suspicious gaze, he quickly waved his hand again, "Ah, I don't mean anything else, I just heard that Lixiang was also kidnapped, so I wonder if I need some help."

He pursed his lips a little embarrassedly.

"After all, it's because of your mother's ticket that this happened to you - and my mother is very sorry."

Originally, I specially gave away tickets to the amusement park in order to make people relax, but I didn't want to encounter this kind of thing.

Although her mother didn't say it out loud, Sawada Tsunayoshi could still see that she still cared about it.

That's why I proposed to have a barbecue party.In addition to the fact that they haven't gathered like this for a long time, I also want to create an opportunity for communication.In such a relaxed environment, it's better to talk about anything.

"Ah that."

I lowered my head and touched the kebab skewer in my hand.

In fact, I have complained like "I knew I would not come to the amusement park", but it was not a complaint to Ms. Nana who gave us tickets, but I felt that I had chosen a bad day.

If only I wasn't so impatient, or could choose a day more safely.Maybe it won't be the case.

There is nothing wrong with Miss Nana who thinks about us, and neither is the ticket she sent.

"That's the fault of those bad people." I said to him seriously, "You don't need to feel sorry, those cultists should make amends."

How can there be any reason in the world for a good person to apologize for a bad person?

"Thank you."

Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled.

Compared with the previous polite smile, this time it was a little softer.

"Don't take it to heart." I waved my hand, "Barbecue will become unpalatable."

"That……"

Before Tsunayoshi Sawada finished speaking, he was interrupted by a commotion from far and near.

"Not bad, is there a barbecue party?"

A cute and lovely voice suddenly sounded, and I looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a small thing standing there, like a baby or a large doll, on the outer wall where the smoke was billowing.

And beside him, there is a curly-haired foreign boy who looks weak... he should still be a boy.

"Master Lanbo is here~"

Noticing people's gaze, he happily jumped in over the wall.

"By the way, I brought you something good."

As he spoke, he pulled something out of his back as if by magic.

"The newly developed and improved version of the ten-year-old rocket launcher has a new calibration function, which can..."

As he spoke, the baby puppet next to him jumped down with a 'snap', just using his head as the middle foothold.

The barrel-like thing that the man waved happily flew out of his hand.

"Be careful--"

The gun barrel that I was looking at was flying towards me, and my eyes went dark, and then I didn't know anything.
