Regardless of what others thought, after confirming that they were both fans of Jojo, Saori Fujiwara and Nishino became closer.

The two of them were talking about the plot in the comic along the way, and they would laugh "hehehehe" together from time to time.

This left Asuka and Hashimoto who were traveling together speechless, so they had to walk faster and pretended not to recognize these two fools.

For Hashimoto and Asuka who prefer to read novels, they still think that the charm of words is greater. Those who read comics are mostly children who have not grown up, so the novel group and the comics group are clearly distinct along the way.

The four of them came to the villa belonging to Fujiwara Saori again, and this time Nishino met Fujiwara Saki for the first time.

When Fujiwara Saki met Nishino for the first time, he greeted her with warm greetings. This made Hashimoto, who was a little timid, finally feel relieved. It seemed that Aunt Saki was indeed so enthusiastic towards everyone.

It was the first time Nishino saw Fujiwara Saki's warm and friendly attitude, and he couldn't bear it for a while. Fortunately, he was patient and knew how to deal with things, so he didn't embarrass everyone.

Asuka was not surprised. This strange aunt liked little girls, but she was not so enthusiastic when she saw the boy. She was not sure if she was afraid that a boy from some family would abduct her daughter.

"I see, I understand. In that case, you can take the key to this Kyoto apartment. It has basically all the furniture and daily necessities there. It may just be a lack of food. You can go to the supermarket after getting off the car.

Buy some"

After learning about the four's plan, Fujiwara Saki, as expected, was very open-minded and agreed to the four's travel plan.

"Nanase, please pass this to your parents and express my regards to them. This time I go to Osaka, Saori, Asuka and Nanamin are going to trouble your family. These are some Chinese tea leaves. I wonder if they can

I'm used to drinking, so I can't show respect at all. I'll pay you a formal visit again when I have the opportunity."

Fujiwara Saki took out a high-end gift box that had been prepared for a long time. There were two beautifully packaged tea cans in the box.

"Eh?? This... thank you, I will convey your greetings to my parents." Nishino saluted again, and then replied seriously.

Although he was born in Kansai, which is a relatively enthusiastic, generous and informal place, the conditions of the Nishino family are still relatively good, so the education and etiquette he received since childhood are very mature, and the etiquette that should be done on any occasion is still in place.

"Nanamin, too. I'm asking you to take more care of these children when I take them out this time. She said and took out a bank card."

"Huh? Auntie Saaki, what do you mean?" Hashimoto was a little confused. What are you planning to do?

"There's nothing to eat in the house over in Kyoto. I'm really sorry. Just use this card to buy some food."

Seeing that Hashimoto was still a little pushy, Fujiwara Saki had no choice but to continue.

"Take it, Saori and Asuka are too young to let them hold it. This time we are going to visit Nanase's house. Just use this card to buy some seafood or wagyu and bring it over. Nanamin is ours

I am the representative of my family, Saori and Asuka are still too young to do this on my behalf, so I can only ask you to do this, can you help me do this?"

"You don't need to save money. You can see that the Fujiwara family is not short of money. You can just go and have fun in these three days. You can also choose a gift for yourself. It can be regarded as a Christmas and New Year gift from aunt."

Hearing what Fujiwara Saki said, Hashimoto could no longer shirk it, so he had to keep it in mind, write down every necessary expenditure in detail, and pass the list to Fujiwara Saki when he came back.

"Thank you very much. Don't worry, I will take care of all the greetings at Na-chan's house."

"Yes, yes, it's Nanamin. I can rest assured if I leave it to you."

Saori Fujiwara's attitude was very humble, and her way of asking for help without any pressure made Hashimoto very helpful. At the same time, he was also amazed by Mrs. Fujiwara's communication skills. She was worthy of being a queen of a famous family.

After the four of them had dinner and packed their luggage, they were driven to Tokyo Station by Saki Fujiwara.

Four people will take the Nozomi Shinkansen from Tokyo Station and get off in Kyoto. The journey takes nearly 2 hours and 20 minutes. Since they are all reserved seats, the price of the ticket is about 14,000 yen per person, so the cost of living is usually calculated in single digits.

Hashimoto felt extremely painful. Fortunately, after joining Nogizaka, most of his usual expenses were saved.

Everyone on the train was very quiet. Several people who had been too excited before fell asleep. Only Hashimoto was wearing headphones and leaning against the window, looking at the neon lights flashing through the dark night outside the window.

.

How long have you been traveling with friends like this? The last time was probably when I participated in a competition with the basketball team in high school. It wasn't considered a long trip. It seemed to be a long, long time ago. It has been so long that Hashimoto has already

Can't remember clearly.

Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and the little ones were all woken up by Hashimoto one by one before they arrived at the station. Since she was the oldest among the four, she naturally had to take more care of them. There was one who was under 10 years old.

Brother, it seems that the child is also experienced.

After the four of them successfully exited the station, they chose to take a taxi directly back to the apartment because it was already very late.

Although taxis in Japan are not generally expensive, fortunately the distance is not far, and considering that it can be shared among four people, it is actually still acceptable.

After paying a fare of more than 2,000 yen, the four of them came to an alley near Kyoto Shijo Station, where the Fujiwara family's property is located.

Since Kyoto is a historical city, the appearance of the buildings here also retain traces of history. Most apartments and villas choose Japanese style, and this duplex of the Fujiwara family is no exception.

Like typical Japanese-style buildings, the building looks very narrow from the outside. However, with the decoration style that is good at utilizing space, the space inside the house does not give people a feeling of being cramped.

The apartment is divided into two floors. The first floor is the kitchen, living room and a smaller side hall, which is usually used as a tea room to entertain guests. The second floor has three rooms, the master bedroom, the second bedroom and a study room.

There are bathrooms on the first and second floors, but the wet and dry areas are separated, and there is only one bathroom on the second floor.

Nishino and Hashimoto, who came here for the first time, looked at this house full of Yamato atmosphere. The entire house was made of wood, with wooden ceilings and sliding doors. They were covered with tatami mats from the moment they entered the door, as well as some Japanese-style houses.

Style furniture, screens and hanging paintings, etc.

"Eh! That's enough! I feel like I'm at my grandparents' house."

Although Nishino didn't think this apartment was very luxurious, he had only experienced this style with a sense of history and vicissitudes at his grandfather's house in the countryside.

Hashimoto is very adaptable to this style. In the Hokkaido area where concepts and ideas are relatively conservative, many places retain houses of this style.

"Sa, get moving, get moving, put your things down first, let's go to the supermarket to buy some snacks and drinks. Although there are tableware and cups here, there are no ready-made meals."

Under Fujiwara Saori's greeting, Asuka, who had been lying down on the spot, stood up with a "chun" sound. Without waiting for others to speak, he quickly redressed and stood at the door urging the unresponsive people.

.

"You go ahead. I'll go and see where the bedding is in the room. I'll clean it up in advance and put the bath water in. You can take a bath directly when you come back."

Hashimoto considered the next issue very maturely. After all, we can't expect these children to deal with the situation.

"Hey, Asuka, please stay and tell Nanamin where everything is. You know, Nana-chan and I went to buy something to eat and drink and we'll be back soon."

After careful consideration, Fujiwara Saori decided to let Asuka stay. Since Hashimoto decided to stay and take care of things, it would be hard to let Nishino, who was also a guest, stay and take care of things.

But if Asuka and Nishino, who have no independent opinions, go to the supermarket, God knows what weird things they will buy back.

In desperation, he had no choice but to let Feiniao stay. Feiniao, who had just changed his clothes, expressed his displeasure.

"Hey!! Why me? It took a lot of effort for me to put it back on."

"Don't talk nonsense, stay here and help Nanamin, I will bring you delicious food later, otherwise it won't be your share."

Saori Fujiwara threatened Asuka impatiently, and at the same time gave her a "be obedient, I'll make it up to you later" look.

Asuka, who was out of the house and obeyed all orders, could only reluctantly agree. But fortunately, she did not dislike being alone with Hashimoto. Instead, she regarded her as the object of admiration, because she also wanted to be like Hashimoto.

She is a mature, stable, strong and independent woman, so she often subconsciously imitates Hashimoto's way of speaking and behavior.

"Then I'll leave it to you at home, Nanamin, Asuka, let's go Na-chan"

"Be careful on the road, go and come back quickly"

It was late at night in Kyoto, and there were no more pedestrians in the alleys far away from the downtown area. The temperature difference between day and night made the two of them feel a bit cold.

"Hmm~ It's a bit cold. Let's see if there is any hot oden in a while." Fujiwara Saori breathed out hot breath into her palms, rubbed her hands, and said to Nishino, whose face was also slightly red from the cold.

"Well, Kansai's fried skewers and fried tofu are also delicious, and Nana often eats them too." The two of them came to Lawson at the intersection of the street.

Most convenience stores in Japan are open 24 hours, such as 7-11, Lawson, All Time, etc., and they also have some prepared fried foods or snacks such as oden.

Neither of them are usually frugal, so they picked out more than 10 bags of various types of chocolate biscuits, potato chips and other snacks, and also bought a lot of ready-to-eat snacks such as chicken skewers, udon noodles and oden. Finally, they carried four large bottles of juice and

The tea drinks were reluctantly dragged back.

If there was no one on the night shift, the boy at the convenience store would definitely help deliver the two cute girls home. However, the strength of girls is very mysterious. Sometimes it is low and sometimes it is high. The upper and lower limits are based on the things that need to be carried.

decided.

"Ding dong! We are back"

The two panting people stood outside the door, waiting for the two Hashimotos inside to come out and open the door. The four large bags in their hands were already placed limply on the ground.

"Oh! Thank you for your hard work, come in quickly."

At this time, Hashimoto had already taken a shower and changed into loose casual clothes and sports shorts. His bare face looked rosy and rosy because he had just taken a shower, making him particularly attractive.

Not only that, Hashimoto's body also exuded a smell that made Fujiwara Saori feel familiar and pleasant.

"I forgot to bring my shampoo and shower gel when I came out. I borrowed yours for a while. It's okay, saori-chan."

"It's okay, my mother and I both like this scent of shower gel. Nanamin smells so good (???-?)-?"

Nishino also smelled this smell, and her eyes lit up. This smell was also her favorite type.

"Asuka-chan is probably coming out soon. Nana-chan, should you order midnight snacks first or take a shower first? As for me, just finish the food first and wash up last."

"Hmm~ After Asuka-chan comes out, I'll take a shower first."

Old Hashi, who was fine, started to help Saori Fujiwara sort out the food he bought. When he saw so many big bags, he looked at Saori Fujiwara speechlessly.

"Why did you buy so much food? We can't eat it, right?"

"It's okay, whatever you can't eat will be for breakfast tomorrow."

Saori Fujiwara reheated the oden and added udon noodles to the soup, followed by chicken skewers and fried chicken nuggets, and finally a small portion of pickled radish and mixed seaweed.

"Sa!! Get ready??, turn on the TV, and serve the drinks!"

After Asuka and Nishino had washed and changed their clothes, the four of them sat around the kotatsu in the side hall, feeling the heat coming from inside and groaning unconsciously.
