Mr. Shirakawa’s aunt?
Tsukimi sakurazawa was montarily stunned, trying to recall if Shirakawa Sawahei had ever ntioned anything about his family...
It seems... he hasn’t. The only thing known is that the Shirakawa family is not well-off, making it quite challenging for him to pursue his studies. But as for the specific situation at ho, it seems there hasn’t been much opportunity to discuss this topic.
"May I ask where you are from?"
"I’m from Tottori Prefecture, and this is a photo of with my nephew."
Perhaps understanding Tsukimi sakurazawa’s concerns, Higashino Rin said as she handed over a picture resembling a family portrait. She hadn’t brought a photo yesterday night, as in Neon she didn’t have an ID or driver’s license for identification. Being from the countryside, she didn’t have those, but fortunately, the elderly landlady eventually believed her. Otherwise, she might not even have had a chance to prove her identity.
Upon hearing the na Tottori Prefecture, Tsukimi sakurazawa was nearly convinced — Shirakawa Sawahei indeed ca from Tottori Prefecture, a very remote place that few people know about. She glanced at the family portrait, and the sowhat old photo showed exactly what Shirakawa Sawahei looked like a few years ago.
"I’m sorry, being so suspicious is truly very rude." Tsukimi sakurazawa hurriedly bowed to apologize, her courtesy impeccable, and said: "Please co in, Shirakawa... Mr. Shirakawa went out to buy ingredients for lunch and will be back soon."
Higashino Rin hesitated for a mont, sohow feeling that the beautiful young girl in front of her had suddenly switched to a different mode, her deanor becoming composed and elegant, her every move appearing tranquil and gentle.
"Please sit, I will make tea for you, do you have a favorite type of tea?"
"No... no... I can just have water."
"Please wait a mont."
Tsukimi sakurazawa gently rose and went to the kitchen in search of tea utensils. Unfortunately, while Shirakawa Sawahei drinks tea, he doesn’t often use tea utensils, so she could only start boiling water first and then look for the tea leaves her mother had previously given to Shirakawa Sawahei as a gift.
"I’m very sorry, I couldn’t find suitable tea utensils today. I originally wanted to make tea for you, but now it’s just this, please enjoy slowly."
Higashino Rin was taken aback for a mont, carefully picking up the tea to take a sip. She really couldn’t tell if the tea was good or not, but seeing the young girl so formal, even if the tea wasn’t great, she had to give her face.
Hmm? It seems not bad.
"Uhm... I still don’t know..."
"Tsukimi sakurazawa." The girl smiled: "I’m a friend of Mr. Shirakawa."
Higashino Rin nodded, hesitated for a mont, and then asked: "... May I ask... How has Sawahei been recently?"
"Mr. Shirakawa’s academic performance is outstanding; he’s the top at Akihisa High School, and his behavior is always very upright. He’s a perennial scholarship recipient, has many friends, and gets along well with everyone. Just last night, we went to watch a fireworks festival together."
Higashino Rin felt sowhat relieved and asked: "Then... young girl, is living with him going smoothly?"
"Are there any inconveniences?"
Tsukimi sakurazawa slightly nodded, softly replied: "You misunderstood, actually I am not Mr. Shirakawa’s roommate."
Not a roommate... yet appearing at his place?
Higashino Rin seed to understand sothing, feeling a bit worried, but didn’t ntion it in front of Tsukimi sakurazawa. The girl continued: "Though a bit forward... Aunt, did you co here because you have sothing you need with Mr. Shirakawa?"
"Actually, it’s not a big issue..." Higashino Rin smiled gently: "Since Sawahei started studying in a big city in his first year of high school, he rarely returned. He used to be very rebellious, feeling bad about his background and often being obsessed with it... But actually, he is a good kid. It’s just that my brother... which is his parents, both passed away, and he suffered a great blow..."
Rebellious youth, Shirakawa Sawahei?
Tsukimi sakurazawa was montarily stunned, feeling that this image indeed didn’t match the current Shirakawa. Higashino Rin continued: "Recently, we initially wanted to call him to ask how his situation is, but found that the phone at his address had changed. I was worried sothing happened to him, so I wanted to take advantage of the sumr vacation to co and see him."
"To be honest, when I first heard from so strangers that Sawahei was excellent, I didn’t quite believe it, but now that I hear you say it, I feel a bit reassured."
"Although it’s a bit early... but as soone by Sawahei’s side, I’m very glad that you can accompany him in this way."
"It’s nothing." Tsukimi sakurazawa chuckled: "Mr. Shirakawa is naturally outstanding."
"No matter how excellent a person is, they always make mistakes." Higashino Rin said earnestly: "That’s why they need soone by their side to remind and help from ti to ti."
"Although I haven’t read much, I’ve heard a Huaxia saying that goes ’the one involved is confused, the onlooker sees clearly.’ Sawahei was once lost; I believe he must have t you, which allowed him to gradually walk out of the shadows and beco outstanding."
"This... I actually haven’t done much." Tsukimi sakurazawa suddenly felt a bit flattered, unsure why this aunt suddenly praised her so much.
"Aunt, you just said... Mr. Shirakawa’s parents passed away... is he now under your guardianship?"
"Yes." Higashino Rin said remorsefully: "Clearly as a guardian, I haven’t fulfilled the educational responsibilities I should have. Fortunately, Sawahei himself is determined enough to get admitted to a high school in the big city. Otherwise, he would probably stay in that small village for the rest of his life, unable to leave..."
"That’s not true." Tsukimi sakurazawa softly said: "Mr. Shirakawa must be very grateful to you... I believe he... surely feels this way..."
...
On the other side, Shirakawa Sawahei picked up the little Lolita, tucking her at his waist, calmly starting to quicken his pace ho, while Ise Yu Yuzhijin behind him looked on in shock.
"Shirakawa! This isn’t right... Konatsuori looks really humiliated... no matter what, it’s too much like carrying a kid!"
"You two have been dawdling for a long ti, if you keep talking nonsense, I’m leaving first."
The Black Hearted Lolita, clinging to Shirakawa Sawahei’s waist, was gritting her teeth in hatred, but when it ca her turn to speak, she put on a pitiful look instead.
"It’s okay... as long as Mr. Shirakawa is happy... I can endure anything..."
"Eh? Really it’s no problem... hey... Mr. Shirakawa, wait for , the bag of ingredients I’m carrying is very heavy... please slow down..."
The three of them soon reached the apartnt elevator. Only then was the Black Hearted Lolita set down by Shirakawa Sawahei and picked up her cane.
Honestly, she had aid at the pretty boy’s crotch several tis on the way, wanting to scratch him hard to vent her anger, but Shirakawa Sawahei’s awareness against ambush was first-class. Before the little Lolita could humiliate so much to break the fish-net, he turned her face to the other side.
Frustrated and unsuccessful in venting anger, the Black Hearted Lolita still held grievances. In the elevator, she eyed Shirakawa Sawahei’s lower body several tis with a cold gaze. A bystander in the elevator was extrely alard and ended up giving Shirakawa Sawahei a look full of sympathy.
How scary... is this what elentary students are like now? Boys must protect themselves well when outside.
At the doorstep, Shirakawa Sawahei took out the key and opened the door. The lounging girl cheered, carrying the big bag of ingredients inside, shouting: "So tired, finally ho... I need to lay on the couch for a while... oh... why are there guests here..."
Shirakawa Sawahei closed the door, looked towards the sound, and happened to et the gaze of Higashino Rin standing up, imdiately freezing in place.
