Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Huh, Hojo Kyousuke breathed a sigh of relief. Although he said he didn't care, he was worried about Sakura ever since he saw the connection between his class's nursery rhyme "The Narrative of Monsters" and the hearing-impaired Nishimiya Glass who was regarded as a weirdo by his classmates. Could it be that the nursery rhymes in their class are also some messy cannibalistic nursery rhymes?

He knew how dark neon nursery rhymes were, and they had all kinds of weird and terrifying stories.

""Red Dragonfly" is very good. Among the neon nursery rhymes, it can be regarded as a real nursery rhyme."

"Kyosuke, you said something incomprehensible again. It's all because you read so many books. Doesn't it make me look like a fool?"

"Sakura, haven't you always been an idiot?"

"Put a beauty on the back for me!"

"Idiot beauty? Where did this nickname come from?"

"Don't you agree? Aren't nicknames all given by people? I give them to myself, and then you call them. Isn't this a recognized nickname?"

Sakura, who is in the sixth grade of elementary school, has developed a set of perfect and self-consistent logic.

"Okay, silly beauty, have you learned "Red Dragonfly"?"

"Of course, my mother taught me to sing this song since I was a child."

"Yes, Aunt Maki looks like the kind of person who can sing nursery rhymes to put you to sleep, unlike my mother."

"Huh? What happened to Aunt Mijiko? Didn't she sing nursery rhymes to you when you were a child?"

"Not at all. In fact, that woman is more suitable for the name of stupid beauty than you."

"Hahahaha, is it really nice of you to say that about Aunt Mijiko?"

"As long as you don't tell her no."

"Haha! Then I have your advantage! I want to eat a double portion of yam ice cream tomorrow!"

"Okay, then run an extra 500 meters every morning."

"I was wrong, please forgive me, Kyosuke-sama."

Yamauchi Sakura immediately ran in front of Hojo Kyosuke, clasping her hands on her head.

"Okay, if your class can win the chorus competition this time, I will make you a drink that tastes better than Coke."

Yamauchi Sakura's emotions came and went quickly, and the switch was even more difficult for people to react to. Now she is posing in a victory pose.

Putting one hand on his hip and pointing at Hojo Kyosuke with the other, Yamauchi Sakura announced loudly.

"Then just wait to lose!"

"Okay, okay, go home quickly, Aunt Maki should be anxious."

"Oops! Why is it so late? Run, Kyousuke!"

After saying that, Yamauchi Sakura took the lead and started running. Compared to her thin body, her schoolbag and ponytail were swaying from side to side, and her schoolbag looked huge. Hojo Kyosuke was worried that she would fall down under the weight of her schoolbag.

"Why are you in a daze! Hurry up and catch up!"

Seeing Hojo Kyosuke still walking slowly, Yamauchi Sakura turned around and took his hand, and they started running together, just like Hojo Kyosuke pulled her in the first place.

The two of them quickly ran to Yamauchi Sakura's home. After a brief farewell, Hojo Kyousuke took two steps forward and returned to his home.

The houses of the two families are very common one-family houses, separated only by an alley.

"I'm back."

"Kyosuke is back. Today we have some beef sent by your father from your hometown."

"What, is that cow sprained its foot again? Or is it suffering from depression?"

"Kick-kick"

Hojo Mikiko, who was still busy in the kitchen, laughed out loud when she heard this.

"Kyosuke, how can you say that."

"Isn't it? Every time you say you want to eat beef, your father always makes the cows raised at home considerate and get sick."

"I hate it, how can you say that to mom? Mom is so sad."

Hojo Mikiko turned around and looked at Hojo Kyosuke angrily.

She had a beautiful face that seemed untouched by time, and her body made it impossible to tell that she was the mother of a twelve-year-old child, just like a high school girl. Of course, his actual age is only in his thirties.

"After I enter junior high school next year, you can go back to your hometown in Hokkaido to find your father."

Hojo Kyosuke walked into the kitchen, preparing to make a vegetable salad. This mother, whom he called a stupid beauty, basically didn't know how to cook any home-cooked dishes except for being able to handle beef.

Before his father Ichiro Hojo was captured by his grandfather to inherit the family ranch, his father was the househusband while his mother went out to work.

Although my grandfather did not restrict my father's freedom after he returned, my father realized that his old grandfather was no longer able to manage the ranch, so he stayed in his hometown to help his grandfather manage the ranch.

His father, Ichiro Hojo, originally planned to send the entire family back, but his mother refused because Kyosuke Hojo was already in fourth grade and transferring schools would be detrimental to his growth.

Then the mother, who had lived the life of a young lady since childhood, stayed in Minato City, a small place located at the northeastern end of Kanagawa, Tokyo, and began a life of raising her son by herself. Grandma wanted to help, or simply wanted grandparents to come over and help, but mother refused.

"This is my son's precious childhood, how can I share it with others."

This stupid beautiful mother said this handsomely, and then started to learn how to be a housewife from scratch.

Fortunately, Kyosuke Hojo was able to do most of the housework when he was in fourth grade. Even the meals were cooked by him when he came back from school every day, and he also prepared his mother's lunch meal for the next day.

The only thing his mother had learned over the years was how to handle beef, because his father, who was far away in Hokkaido, seemed to be worried that his wife and children would go hungry, so he kept sending beef over, even if it was not the season for cattle to be slaughtered.

After a lot of times, Mikiko Hojo would ask him what was going on when he sent beef. Ichiro Hojo would ask him various questions, such as the cow sprained his leg during a race and no longer wanted to live, the cow had depression and no longer wanted to live, the cow had fallen out of love and no longer wanted to live. Such magical excuses to make Hojo Mikiko happy.

Hojo Kyosuke sometimes worries whether his father will be beaten by his grandfather. After all, the family's pasture is not big, so he probably can't afford what his father does. However, so far, he has not received any distress message from his father.

It is also the careful care of Hojo Mikiko by the father and son that allows her to maintain her girlish innocence at an age when other housewives are worried about their parents' shortcomings.

Hearing her son's words, Hojo Mikiko ignored cutting the beef and hurriedly turned around to look at Hojo Kyosuke and said.

"Hey? Kyosuke, didn't we agree that we would go back to Hokkaido together when you graduate from elementary school?"

"Isn't there some special reason for you and your father to go to the world of two?"

"What a two-person world? Aren't your grandparents and relatives all over there?"

"It seems so. Anyway, I will take care of myself. Just go back and stay with your father."

"No, if you stay here alone, mom and I will be too worried to sleep in the distant Hokkaido."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Worried about whether you will be hungry..."

Hojo Mikiko paused before she finished speaking, and then looked at the almost finished vegetable salad in Hojo Kyosuke's hand, with a sly smile on her face.

"I'm just worried anyway! Even if you don't go hungry, what will you do if you encounter bad people?"

"I can protect myself, and I have a reason to stay here."

"Tell me first what your reasons are. Is it because of Sakura-chan?"

Encountering this kind of emotional problem with her son, Hojo Mikiko immediately forgot about her worries about her son living alone and started gossiping instead.

"..."

Why did this idiot mother suddenly become so sharp? Hojo Kyosuke had a headache, and then he was thinking frantically about how to convince his mother.

Did he tell her that there are two system-certified heroines and many supporting characters waiting for her to get rewards?

Nonsense, of course not.

"Haha, you must have been right!"

Hojo Mikiko said happily.

"How about we take the Sakura family to Hokkaido, let your grandfather's ranch hire Mr. Yamauchi, and then you can continue to be classmates in Hokkaido."

After hearing his mother's words, Hojo Kyosuke lowered his head and carefully considered the feasibility of this plan. If it was really feasible, he wouldn't refuse. After all, it would be too difficult to convince his parents to let a 12-year-old child live alone. Who says money ability is not his ability, as long as he can achieve his goal.

"Mother, what if it's not just Sakura?"

Hojo Kyosuke said tentatively.

"Kyosuke! Do you know what you are talking about?"

Hojo Mikiko was shocked when she heard her son's words.

"Ha, ha, ha, I'm kidding. Let's discuss this topic later."

Hojo laughed twice.

The mother and son finished their meal and then it was time to go to bed.
