3:30 pm, Ikebukuro Station.

Kato Yusuke, Serizawa Yu, Shiyu and Megumi arrived here.

——Come to see Motoyama Mina off.

Standing in front of the busy station, Motoyama Mina stopped and faced everyone with a smile.

"Okay, let's all send them here. I will walk the rest of the way myself. Thank you for coming to see me off."

"Auntie Mina..."

Serizawa Yu held Motoyama Mina's arm and murmured softly, with a bit of reluctance and sadness about the impending separation in her eyes.

Seeing this, Motoyama Mina touched her head soothingly and said warmly: "Okay, okay, don't show such an expression, it's not like you won't see her again."

"Actually, you can stay longer."

Kato Yusuke said at the right time: "New Year is coming soon, and then we can celebrate the New Year together in Tokyo."

Facing this proposal, Motoyama Mina slowly but firmly shook her head.

"No, I still have a lot of things to do back home, including preparing pickles for the winter. I have to go back and do them."

Kato Yusuke felt a little helpless and continued: "But you can definitely ask someone to do it, right? Do you need to do it yourself?"

"It's nothing. Anyway, I have long been used to these things. If I don't move my body, I will feel uncomfortable."

Motoyama Mina knew that he cared about her, so she didn't criticize him for his extravagance and waste, but she also didn't intend to change her mind, so she said this.

"Besides, I still need to visit Mr. Kato's grave. If we all stay in Tokyo, Mr. Kato will also feel lonely."

Kato Yusuke immediately fell silent.

As if to fill the gap, Serizawa Yu picked up the small paper bag in her hand and handed it out.

"Well, Auntie Mina. Thank you for taking care of me during this time. Please accept this?"

"Huh? This is it?"

"Ah, those are the gloves I knitted. Because the weather has become cold recently, so..."

Motoyama Mina opened the paper bag and took out a pair of brown cashmere wool gloves, her eyes lit up slightly.

"Ah, this seems very warm ~ Thank you, Xiao Xi."

"Hey, hey, that's great, I hope you like it~"

Immediately afterwards, Shiyu also took out the gift he had prepared and gave it out generously.

"Auntie Menai, this is the scarf I gave you. If you don't mind, please accept it."

"scarf?"

Motoyama Mina smiled and took the paper bag in her hand, took out a beautiful square cardboard box, opened it, and removed the white tissue paper spread on it.

——A very textured cashmere scarf comes into view.

"Ah, so beautiful."

"Thank you, I hope you like it." A slight smile appeared on Shiyu's face, but she heard this sentence the next second.

"But this scarf must be very expensive, right? I accept your offer, Xiaoshi, but you should take this back."

Motoyama Mina said as she returned the things, Shiyu's expression suddenly froze on her face.

"No, um, Auntie Mina, don't you like my gift?"

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that this gift looks expensive. You'd better give it to your family."

"no……" …

Looking at the resolute Motoyama Mina, Shiyu didn't know what to say for a while, and finally it was Kato Yusuke who helped out.

"Auntie Mina."

He just reached out and took the box, took out the scarf from it, and then without any explanation, he helped Mina Motoyama wrap it around her neck.

"Well, it looks good."

"Xiaoyou...?"

The person involved frowned dissatisfied, while Kato Yusuke smiled and said: "Isn't this pretty good? It just matches the pair of gloves Xiao Xi gave you, so just accept it."

"this……"

Mina Motoyama looked at the scarf on her chest in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and lowered her shoulders.

"Oh, okay then, thank you for your gift, Xiao Shi."

"Won't."

Shiyu waved her hands hurriedly, feeling a warmth in her chest, and glanced at Kato Yusuke with a crooked eyebrow.

"..."

Serizawa Yu looked at the scarf around Motoyama Mina's neck and recognized that it was Burberry's classic plaid scarf. It was very expensive and couldn't be compared to her own gloves.

She couldn't help but feel a little inferior in her heart, and she couldn't help but lower her head silently in frustration.

Hui on the side caught this scene, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes, and then he took a step forward.

"That~Aunt Mina."

She said: "Actually, I also brought some snacks I made here, so you can eat them on the way. This is not an expensive thing. It would be great if you are willing to accept it."

"Snacks? Thank you, Xiaohui, you are so thoughtful~"

"No, it's just a small gift. I'm grateful for your care recently."

Serizawa Yu suddenly raised her head when she heard this. While she was slightly relieved, she unconsciously cast a grateful look at Kei, and the girl smiled lightly at her.

Mina Motoyama glanced at the three girls in front of her one by one and couldn't help but smile.

"Anyway, thank you. I like everyone's gifts very much. I appreciate them."

The three women shook their heads or waved their hands, expressing their politeness.

"By the way, I have something for you too."

As Motoyama Mina spoke, she took out a beautiful brochure bag from the bag on her shoulder and opened it.

"Xiao Shi, Xiao Hui, these two are for you~"

"Hey, this is..."

"Ah, it's Yushou."

"Well~ This is the academic guardian that Xiao Xi and I went to the temple to ask for. I wish you success in your studies~"

"

Thank you Auntie Mina.""

After receiving the items, Hui and Shiyu both said thank you.

Mina Motoyama smiled and replied, "You're welcome." Then she waved to Kato Yusuke, "And there's Yuu-chan."

"exist."

"These two are for you."

"two??"

Kato Yusuke blinked in surprise and asked, "Isn't the extra one for Xiao Xi?"

"Hehe~ I already have it, Brother Yu."

Serizawa Yu happily took out an omamori from her pocket and replied, "Auntie Mina gave me one when I bought the omori, so don't worry, Brother Yu~"

"That's right, then this other guardian is..."

"It's for Yinglili."

Motoyama Mina warned: "I have contacted Sayuri, please remember to send it to others properly, you know?" ...

"..."

Kato Yusuke's lips moved slightly, and he replied slowly: "...Well, I understand."

To be honest, he didn't really want to go to Eiriri's house at such a sensitive point, but since this was Motoyama Mina's order, he naturally had to treat it differently.

After explaining the matter, Motoyama Mina asked for her suitcase from him, and then bowed slightly to everyone.

"Then, Xiaoyou, I'll take care of you all, and welcome you to visit my hometown next time~"

"Well~ I will try my best to help Brother Yu!"

"Aunt Mina, you're welcome, this is what I should do."

"Well, don't worry, Auntie Mina, we will remember it~"

Xiao Xi, Shi Yu and Hui expressed their opinions one after another.

Kato Yusuke touched his nose awkwardly, not knowing how to react for a moment.
