Chapter 108 Jiuhua Yasuhiro
After the not-so-leisurely vacation, life returned to intensive training. After finishing classes in the afternoon and guiding the wind band training, Fujii Itsuki went to get off work and back home as usual.

In summary, apart from being busy with screening, there have been no other changes in the past few days.

Knew it.
What happened on the night of the Jade Fox Festival must have happened in a dream, right?

I didn't sneak into the place where Songqian was bathing.

He didn't even hear the outrageous words that Matsumae said to him.

Fujii Itsuki thought this happened in a dream.

No, we still have to face reality.

Anyway, these past few days, he felt ashamed to be Matsumae's teacher. He often looked away when his eyes met hers.

He also felt very embarrassed by Matsumae's gaze in class.

Fujii Itsuki leaned on the handrail of the bus, his body swaying with the car. Unsure of how to get along with Matsumae in the future, he casually flipped through the news on his phone, and the sunlight reflected from the metal parts of the car occasionally made him unable to open his eyes.

The sun in May is really scorching.

Tomorrow is the official selection of participating members of the wind band.

I hope everyone can perform normally, especially Jiuhua and Chitose.

[Teacher Fujii.]
It was a message from Matsumae, and the time was 7:12 in the morning.

Matsumae Shinharu likes the image of a little snow fox very much, and her avatar is an anthropomorphic Q version fox.

This design is probably based on the image of Matsumae himself. The little fox is wearing a shrine maiden's costume and Chihaya's outer garment.

The little fox's facial contours, eyes and hair color are exactly the same as Matsumae's.

The little fox is holding a jade bracelet of the same height and looking at the screen, with a furry snow fox tail behind it.

Cute is cute.
But when looking at this avatar, Fujii Itsuki always felt that it was Matsumae who was looking at him again.

I feel quite guilty.

He then read the news about Matsumae.

[Can Mr. Fujii come to my humble abode tomorrow night? In addition to practicing these two days, I took the time to learn a new dish and would like to invite Mr. Fujii to taste it]
[(The little fox gets off the seat)]
this.
Should I reply or not?

Fujii Itsuki thought for a moment and decided to go.

What's the point of a man being indecisive? Does he have to avoid Matsumae from now on?

Being timid makes you look like a little girl.

[Sure.] He typed back.

Fujii Itsuki waited in the car for five minutes but there was no reply from Matsumae Shinharu. He became a little anxious. After seeing Matsumae reply with a little fox emoticon that said "OK", he felt relieved.

He felt that he had to change his mindset.

Why are you getting anxious just because a little girl replied to your message late?
This is not the way a 26-year-old should think.

"How are you preparing for tomorrow's tryouts?"

[I am confident. Everyone in the club is unwilling to be eliminated, so they are also training very hard, especially Satsuki and Chitose]
After all, the two of them are competing for one position.

It's just a headache.

Fujii Itsuki was already wondering what kind of meal Matsumae would cook tomorrow.

After getting off the shaky bus, Fujii Itsuki walked for more than ten minutes to the supermarket to buy groceries, and then walked for another ten minutes to the convenience store near his home.

When I was withdrawing money from the convenience store, I saw Vivi's latest magazine and discovered that it contained photos of Xiao Jiuhua that had been taken in the past but had not been made public, so I bought one and put it in my shopping bag.

He walked all the way to the door of Jiuhua's house, but suddenly stopped outside the gate.

Fujii Itsuki looked inside and saw
There is a homeless person outside Jiuhua’s house?
It's not quite right to call him a homeless person, because his clothes were intact, but there were several beer cans piled up next to him. The man was leaning against the door of Jiuhua's house, squinting his eyes in a daze, sleeping, and looked very decadent.

The old man had grey hair and a grey beard. He was estimated to be at least sixty, close to seventy.

As for his appearance, the old man is quite handsome, and you can tell he was quite heroic when he was young.

This old man is more like a drunkard.

Jiuhua will definitely be scared when she returns home.

Fujii Itsuki first called the police and then tried to approach him.

".Hmm?" The other party noticed him.

"Why is it a man?"

As soon as he got closer, Fujii Itsuki could smell the alcohol on the other person.

"Why are you sleeping here?"

"Why am I sleeping here?" The old man burped, his eyes were vague and his limbs were weak, but his eyes gradually moved upwards. "I want to ask you, why are you here?"

"I live here, what do you think?"

"You...you live here?" The old man looked very surprised.

"Correct."

"That's great. Then, take it."

Fujii Itsuki saw the old man stretch out his palm towards him and move it inward twice.

Obviously asking for money.

I'm afraid he thinks of himself as the owner of Jiuhua's house and a rich man, and is acting like a hooligan here.

Fujii Itsuki stared at him and said, of course, "No."

"What?! You, you actually won't give it to me! Do you know who I am? How dare you, cough cough, not give it to me!"

Is this old man mentally ill?

Fujii Itsuki chose not to bother with this guy. It would be a waste of time to anger a mentally ill person.

Fortunately, the police arrived a few minutes later. They were two young men.

The police walked through the door.

"Did you call the police?"

"Yes," Fujii Itsuki pointed at the old man at the door of his house, "There's a drunkard blocking my door right now, and I don't know what to do."

"Old man?"

One of the policemen approached the confused old man.

"Sir? Sir? Can you hear me clearly?"

".police?"

The old man reacted and looked at Fujii Itsuki angrily, "Well, you actually called the police. Do you know who I am? You treated me like a homeless person! You are disrespectful to filial piety! I will let Long Yi teach you a lesson later!"

Disrespect for filial piety?

Do you think I'm your son, old man?

The policeman asked Fujii Itsuki curiously:

"you know?"

Fujii Itsuki shook his head, "I don't know him. I don't even know who Long Yi he's talking about."

He just wanted to get this over with quickly.

"Good boy! Still playing dumb!"

The old man was talking nonsense and drinking. The police had made up their minds by then. He tried to persuade the old man with kind words:

"Old sir, this gentleman said that no one knows you. Please don't make things difficult for everyone. Can you please come with us to the police station first? If you have any questions or difficulties, you can tell us at any time. The government will arrange a place for you, old sir."

"Pooh!"

The old man spat and said angrily, "Even dogs won't go to your place!"

Japanese police have a characteristic.

That is to always persuade with a good temper. No matter how the citizens scold, the other party will continue to speak with a smile as if they have no anger.

This may be fine for people who have a sense of shame, but it is obviously useless for this stubborn old man.

Fujii Itsuki had been standing behind for half an hour, but the two policemen still hadn't finished handling the matter.

He couldn't help but hold his forehead and shake his head.

"Can you two be a little more assertive? How long has it been?"

"Sir, what you said is that we need to follow the rules."

"Your rules are useless except for wasting time. This guy is drunk, can't you just carry him away?" Probably because they were afraid of receiving complaints from citizens and having their salaries and performance deducted, the two young policemen were tired after half an hour of persuasion. They looked at each other, went over, lifted the old man's arms from both sides, and dragged him towards the police car outside.

"You, what are you going to do?! This is my home! My home!"

"Old man, please be quiet."

"What do you mean by 'behave yourself'? You not only don't give me money, but you also want to kick me out of my house! What kind of world is this?"

The two young policemen thought the guy was talking nonsense and they held the old man and walked out.

Fujii Juki felt relieved that the trouble was finally gone.

But at this moment, the three of them stopped at the door.

Fujii Itsuki looked towards the gate and saw Jiuhuayue carrying a musical instrument box and just returning home.

She stood there straight, confused about the situation at her doorstep. She looked in surprise at the two policemen and the old man who was held by the police.

Just as Fujii Itsuki was about to step forward to explain, he heard Jiuhuayue gently shouting to the old man:

"grandfather?"

grandfather?

Fujii Itsuki was stunned.

*
It took half an hour before the misunderstanding was explained.

Fujii Itsuki learned that the old man's name was Kuka Yasuhiro, and that he was indeed little Kuka's grandfather and had been the head of the Kuka family in the past.

Jiuhuayue served a cup of sobering tea to her grandfather, the bearded old man opposite Fujii Itsuki. The old man drank the tea in one gulp and asked his granddaughter for another cup.

“Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue!”

Is this the former head of the Jiuhua family?
There is no aristocratic style at all.

"understood"

Fujii Itsuki always felt that Xiao Jiuhua was very impatient with her grandfather.

"Why do you have hangover tea at home? Do you drink?"

"Not drinking."

Jiuhuayue replied while pouring tea for her grandfather and glanced at Fujii Itsuki.

Jiuhua Yasuhiro also looked over and asked Fujii Itsuki:
"Who is this man to you? Your gigolo?"

".What nonsense are you talking about!" Jiu Huayue was angry.

"Otherwise, why would he live in our house?"

"Please be sober, Grandpa. This house no longer belongs to you."

"That was taken away from me by that brat Long Yi! I didn't pass it on to him. This house has always belonged to me, Jiuhua Kanghong!"

"You're right."

Fujii Itsuki always felt that this old guy was mentally ill.

When the old man suddenly had to go to the toilet, he whispered to Jiu Huayue: "What's wrong with your grandfather? Why did he come to see you suddenly?"

Jiu Huayue was helpless. "He lives alone now. He must have heard from somewhere that I was back in Otaru and came to ask me for money."

"Want money? Doesn't he have a pension?"

"Yes, it's a huge sum."

"Where's the money?"

"He spent it all. He was a playboy. Now he's a playboy old man. Most of the Jiuhua family's wealth was spent by grandpa. Now my father doesn't care about him at all."

"So he came to see you?"

“He can only look for me.”

Jiu Huayue suddenly looked very embarrassed, "Uncle, can I borrow some more money from you? I will pay you back, sooner or later!"

Jiuhuayue has now been cut off from living expenses by her parents. Before she returned to Tokyo, her money and bank cards were left with her parents.

In other words, Xiao Jiuhua has no money now.

These days I have been living on the support of Fujii Itsuki.

"It's no problem to lend it to you, but do you want to give it to your grandfather?"

".It has to be this way, otherwise he will stay here forever."

"."

What is the situation with the Jiuhua family?

Is the family so disharmonious?

Fujii Itsuki took out 200,000 from his wallet and gave it to Jiuhuayue.

The girl was embarrassed holding this huge stack of money:
".Thank you, uncle."

"We're not even saying thank you. We're all good friends. You can use it for emergencies, but I have to warn you, your grandfather was able to squander all of your Jiuhua family's wealth, so it's probably a bottomless pit now, so don't give too much."

"Ok, I know."

Two minutes later, Jiuhua Yasuhiro slowly returned to the living room.

He didn't hesitate to grab the snacks that Xiao Jiuhua bought for herself and Fujii Itsuki and started eating them.

The old man said:
".Tsk, not very tasty. Yue, why did you buy these cheap things?"

"I have no money."

"Stop talking nonsense. I know that Long Yi and that asshole woman treated you like a treasure. You have invested a lot of money that they stole from me."

"I really don't."

Jiuhua Yasuhiro ignored him and looked at Fujii Itsuki: "I thought you were one of the uncles or nephews in the family, but I didn't expect you were just a tenant. Now Long Yi has messed up Jiuhua's family to the point that they have to rent out the house?
"I have a piece of advice for you. Don't try to hit on Yue just because she's pretty. You're not worthy of her at all."

"."

This old man, Fujii Itsuki suddenly wanted to punch him.

"grandfather!"

"You're still protecting him, girl? Are you really interested in him?"

"Grandpa, stop talking nonsense! I'm angry!"

"Let me borrow the money that Long Yi gave you for your use."

"."

Jiuhuayue sighed.

Although this grandfather is a playboy, he did have some affection for me when I was a child, and this blood relationship also made me...
Jiu Huayue took out her wallet and prepared to take out 150,000 from the 200,000 to give to him.

"Grandpa, this is all I have. I need to save some money for my living, so I can only give it to you——!"

Even Fujii Itsuki didn't expect that when the old bastard Kuka Yasuhiro saw his granddaughter take out the money, he stood up and snatched all the money from her hand.

The 200,000 yuan that Fujii Itsuki had just given to Jiuhuayue was taken away by him just like that.

"Xiao Yue still loves me!"

Jiuhua Kanghong counted the money in his hand and sighed like this.

"You old fellow—!"

When Jiuhua Yasuhiro saw Fujii Itsuki stand up, he ran away without even looking at Jiuhua Yue. He ran out of the living room and locked the outside door. By the time Fujii Itsuki opened the door and chased out, the guy had already disappeared in the sunset.

Even Fujii Itsuki didn't expect that the old guy would slip away so quickly.

"Nine flowers?"

Go back to the living room and go see Jiuhuayue again.

I saw the little guy sitting on the sofa, looking lonely.

She looked at Fujii Itsuki with a complex expression that was almost like a wry smile:

"My house. Is it weird?"

"."

Fujii Itsuki was speechless.
