Chapter 186 Sisters’ Battle (Part )

Xiao Jiuhua likes shopping very much.

To be more precise, the three girls around me all like shopping.

Qiansui and Xiao Jiuhua would show great joy, and although Xinchun was used to hiding her feelings, the joy that was beyond words could not be buried.

As for Fujii Itsuki.
Fujii Itsuki feels that he can’t really say that he likes shopping.

He just felt happy from them, and he became happy too.

The morning market in Hakodate is a food street. After finishing her filming, Jiuhuayue dragged Fujii Itsuki here.

"Uncle, you must be hungry, after all, you only had two rice balls for breakfast."

"Yeah, not bad."

"Uncle is losing weight?"

"No."

"Why does that uncle look so uninterested? Does he not like going out shopping with me?"

“How could this happen?”

"Uncle, what did you just do——"

"I was just wondering what we were going to eat."

"So that's it!"

Jiuhuayue's sadness turned into joy in an instant, and her voice became much sweeter, "Then uncle, what are we going to eat?"

Fujii Itsuki pinched his chin and looked up at the sky: "I haven't thought about it yet."

"you--!"

Jiu Huayue was so angry that she was almost pissed off to death by him.

He clenched his fist and reached out to hit his arm, then glared at him.

Fujii Itsuki smiled.

Although Xiao Jiuhua looks angry, her purple eyes are moist and bright, and she looks like she is looking up in a cute way.

There should be no one who would not want to continue teasing her, right?

Of course, Fujii Itsuki could only think about it.

If you continue teasing her, she will probably sulk.

".Then I know a store, uncle, would you like to go with me?"

"I'll listen to you."

".At that restaurant, the two-person set meal only has a couple's meal. Uncle, do you mind?"

"Is the double meal cheaper?"

"I checked, yes, it's cheaper."

"What's the big deal? Just eat it."

"."

Jiuhuayue choked for a long while, and finally turned her head away unhappily and muttered:
".Sometimes I don't know if the uncle is pretending to be stupid or if he is really stupid."

"Xiao Yue, are you saying bad things about me?" Fujii Shu approached Jiuhua Yue.

"No, nothing!" Jiuhuayue was shocked.

"Really not?"

“No!” Jiuhuayue took Fujii Tree’s arm and said, “Let’s go quickly, or there will be too many people and no room for us later!”

"You haven't answered the question I just asked."

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Fujii Itsuki was then forcibly dragged away by her.

Walking along the streets of Chaoshi, we soon arrived at the seafood restaurant that Xiao Jiuhua mentioned. Outside, there were pictures of various meal sets and food.

The name of the restaurant is [Suzuki Seafood Restaurant], which is quite simple.

The shop was quite small, with a curtain blocking the door, so Fujii Itsuki had to bend down to get in.

As soon as I entered the door, the shop assistant wearing a headscarf greeted me with a smile.

"What would you two like to eat?"

Fujii Itsuki looked at Jiuhuayue.

She looked a little embarrassed.

".Is that seafood dinner for two couples okay?"

"A seafood dinner for two, right? Of course. But please forgive me, our boss asked us to confirm it beforehand. Excuse me, are you two a couple?"

"Of course!"

Jiuhuayue immediately answered with a smile, and secretly pulled the corner of Fujii Itsuki's clothes where the shop assistant couldn't see.

"."

Faced with the shop assistant's inquiring look, Jiuhuayue pulled again.

Only then did Fujii Itsuki nod.

"Okay guys, no problem. Table 04, please enjoy your meal with your handsome boyfriend."

After taking his seat, Fujii Itsuki took a look at what was in the couple's double set meal.

The crab rice and sea urchin rice are okay.

He put down the store flyer and saw Jiuhuayue's strange state.

She looked like she wanted to talk to herself, but didn't know what to say.

Seeing that she was in trouble, Fujii Itsuki took the initiative to talk to her:
"Xiaoyue, did you bring me to this store on purpose?"

"what?"

"You know what I mean." Fujii Itsuki placed his hand on the word "couple" on the set meal.

"No, that's not the case! I'm really recommending this store to you, okay? Well! I definitely don't want the clerk to say you're my boyfriend! Absolutely not!"

The acting is so poor.

Aren't you a musical actor?

But Fujii Itsuki felt Xiao Jiuhua's kindness.

Just now when the shop assistant said that he was her boyfriend, she was so happy that she didn't know how to describe it, and the excitement lasted for a long time.

To be honest, I can feel it, but I can't quite understand it.

Just because the shop assistant called you that, Xiaoyue, you become so happy?
Jiuhua Yue probably saw that Fujii Itsuki would not believe him, so he lowered his head, as if he was recalling something, and said softly:

"Uncle, you know I came here alone from Tokyo."

"clear."

“I was in Otaru for a long time before you met me.”

Fujii Itsuki continued to listen.

"I don't like being alone, but I grew up under Takarazuka's training. My classmates who trained with me were all my enemies. None of them were my friends. I couldn't talk to any of them. They were all jealous of the excessive care my teacher gave me, my unique eyes, and my title of 'Purple Flower'.
"My mother just told me to keep training and not to pay attention to such people. My father didn't care about anything other than my training. Even if someone really bullied me secretly and stuffed rotten eggs into my shoe cabinet, my mother would tell me to just bear with it.

"My mother asked me to do this for a very simple reason. Those who enter the Takarazuka are either rich or noble, and they are all daughters of wealthy families. As long as I endure it, I won't have any negative impact on them."

Jiuhuayue's voice was very calm.

When Fujii Itsuki heard this, he remembered the news on the Internet about bullying within Takarazuka and the suicide of a student.

Originally, Fujii Itsuki wanted to ask about this matter.
Now it seems that the news is true.

"It's hard to stay in this environment, isn't it?"

"Yes." Fujii Itsuki nodded.

"As for me, even though I live with my parents, I never feel a sense of belonging to my home in Tokyo. The training in Takarazuka is tough, but I wish it was tougher so I could go home later.
"I don't know what the meaning of going home is. Other people's homes are warm and a place to rest, but when I go back home, I stay in my own room, looking at the ceiling, and I always feel cold.

“So I escaped.

“I want a normal life for my age, I want to meet a good friend.

“So, I went to school in Jubei.

“Because my life was all about training, I was a little out of touch with the times, and I found that I couldn’t communicate with people of my age at all.

“Because I had just started using a mobile phone, I didn’t know how to use many of its functions, and my good classmates even thought I was making fun of them.
"Maybe it's because of my personality. I never approach people actively, and I never talk to people. Gradually, I didn't get the life I wanted in Otaru.

"Jiuhuayue, how could you lose here?

“Jiuhuayue, can’t you do without friends?

"Jiuhuayue, isn't it good to be alone?!

"I have been using these words, these rhetorical questions, to make myself feel more comfortable."

Jiuhuayue looked back at her past self, with loneliness flashing in her eyes.

When Fujii Itsuki heard this, many thoughts came to his mind.

I guess he guessed right before.

When I first met Jiu Huayue, her eyes were full of loneliness, but her words were full of thorns and she was unyielding.
In fact, she was disguising herself as strong behind a cold exterior.

"You don't need anyone else" and "Just rely on yourself".
It's something like this, and I emphasize it in my mind again and again.

But actually.

Jiu Huayue has been walking alone all the way to now, and she really needs support from those around her.
That's why she wanted to be friends with me so much.

"I, I thought at first that although you were a bit of a pervert, you were a very nice person. You never thought about me at first, and you never looked at me in a disgusting way."

".Then I wasn't recently——"

"Then, how can it be the same as that day? Before that day, my opinion of you, uncle, had changed. In the words of the game, my favorability had accumulated!"

Is this so?
No wonder I wasn't angry that day. "As for this store, before I met you, uncle, I liked to buy a ticket at the station and get off wherever I wanted. One day, I was walking around and came across this store."

"Then why this store?" asked Fujii Itsuki.

"Because this restaurant clearly says it offers couple packages! When I saw the word 'couple', my mind started to light up. If we want to call them a couple, they should be a man and a woman who trust each other very much!

"Then we will be considerate of each other in life and take care of each other emotionally.
"So I walked into this store that day. There were many couples in the store that day. I watched them alone. Although I couldn't tell whether they trusted each other, I saw them feeding each other food. It was obviously very embarrassing, but inexplicably happy!
“I just couldn’t help but think.
“When will I meet someone like this?

"When can I meet a good person who is kind to me and I trust him and he trusts me?
"I don't ask for money or good looks from the other person, as long as he/she treats me well with all his/her heart.
“This world is so big, and there are so many people, but I don’t know how to find someone, and I don’t think I will be truly loved.
"So I made a secret decision that if I met someone I liked and trusted, I would bring him to this Suzuki Seafood Restaurant and have a couple's set meal that I had never had before."

Jiuhuayue finished speaking and looked at Fujii Itsuki.

"Well, it's pretty simple, right?"

".Indeed."

Fujii Itsuki was moved by what she said.

Jiuhua has had an extremely hard time getting to where she is now.

That day she walked to the platform alone and wanted to jump down and lie on the tracks in the snow.
I’m afraid that the “heart” at that time had already become cold, surrounded by loneliness, and full of wounds.

It was on that day that I met her by chance and moved into the house where she lived by chance.

That's why she can feel the joy of life.

His personality is much more lively than before.
Is this Xiao Jiuhua’s “love”?

For some reason, Fujii Itsuki began to feel that when he rejected Jiuhuayue, his understanding of her emotions was not deep enough.

The same amount of love also includes Chitose and Kokoharu.
It's not easy to be a scumbag.

"I'm busy talking, uncle, let's eat! I really wanted to try the sea urchin rice here last time!"

"Ah."

At the same time, outside the store, a pair of eyes saw two people eating and laughing inside the store.

After dinner, Fujii Itsuki still thought that Jiuhuayue would be depressed because of her bad mood.

But it didn't.

She was very happy along the way.

She pulled me to take photos in the flower shop, shouted at me to grab a doll for her in front of the gift shop, and asked her to pin a small shark hairpin on her. Her eyes looked at me inexplicably, asking me if I looked good.
Fujii Itsuki had mixed feelings.

I feel inexplicably distressed.

Fujii Itsuki bought some takoyaki with her, and Xiao Jiuhua strongly requested to take a photo with her, with their faces almost touching each other.

Fujii Itsuki did not refuse.

"That's it, that's it, uncle, look at the camera! Smile again, smile!"

"Laughed, laughed."

Click.

Photo freeze.

Sure enough, as a model, Jiu Huayue looks very photogenic no matter how she is photographed.

When Fujii Itsuki came back from buying milk tea, he saw the photo sent by Jiu Huayue. He originally wanted to laugh at the cat-like face Jiu Huayue always made when eating, but when he stopped, he suddenly saw Jiu Huayue sitting on a bench on the street with her mobile phone in her arms, staring at the photo of the two of them in a daze.

"If it disappears, we will go back to the past."

Jiuhuayue said this in a very low voice, and Fujii Itsuki heard it not far away.

Who does disappearance refer to, and what does the past refer to?

The answer is obvious.

"Here, milk tea."

".Uncle, do you know that I like strawberry flavored milk tea?"

"After all, who would use strawberries to scramble eggs?"

"Humph, you're such a chatterbox!"

Jiuhuayue put the straw between her lips and took a small sip.

She squinted her eyes and looked at the cantaloupe in Fujii Itsuki's hand.

".Give me a drink of yours."

"My?"

Fujii Itsuki let go of the straw and looked at the expectant girl beside him, "You don't mind?"

"What's this! Give it to me!"

"Eh--!"

Jiuhuayue took the milk tea from Fujii Itsuki and quickly held the straw with her pink lips. She took Fujii Itsuki's milk tea for fear that he would be angry, so she handed him her half-drunk strawberry milk tea:

"Yes! I'll give you some of mine!"

"Xiaoyue, you..."

That’s all.

I've drunk it, it's nothing.

Jiuhua has never been spoiled by anyone in her life. I spoil her occasionally, but not too much.

Fujii Itsuki was comforting himself in his heart, and just as he lowered his head to drink the straw that Jiuhuayue's lips had touched, the girl next to him quickly pecked him on the cheek.

".?"

Fujii Itsuki turned around immediately and saw the girl with a red face, holding the cup in both hands, her eyes wandering to the sky:

"I-I don't know anything."

"."

Fujii Itsuki didn't intend to argue with her too much.

But this girl is very playful and will probably lean over and kiss me when I lower my head to drink milk tea.

So Fujii Itsuki just turned back, and then immediately turned back.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, Jiuhuayue poked her head over again.

The two of them were facing each other, their noses touching, and their lips were very close.

Their eyes met, and Fujii Itsuki had never thought that Jiuhuayue's eyes were so big and so beautiful.
He backed off first.

After Jiu Huayue recovered, her face flushed, and she couldn't hold back her thin skin. She reached out and lifted her hair.

"I'm going to use the bathroom."

"Then I'll wait for you here."

".Don't finish my milk tea! Wait. Let's switch back later!"

Want to change it back?
Jiuhua, if you want to kiss me, just say so!
Before Fujii Itsuki could open his mouth to say anything, Jiuhuayue, the beautiful girl with long black hair, hurried to the bathroom.

It was obvious that the girl couldn't hide her shyness.

However, Jiuhua dared to kiss her face secretly. Later, she would take Jiuhua to climb Mount Hakodate and see the night view.

Fujii Itsuki wondered if he was in danger today.

Thinking about this, Fujii Itsuki continued to drink his strawberry-flavored milk tea, but unexpectedly, he just glanced around and saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

Heart spring?

Could it be that I saw it wrong?
Fujii Itsuki frowned and waited until the crowd of people walked away before taking another closer look.

It's really her
But why is Xinchun here?

Today she was wearing a Western dress, like a Western lady.

Fujii Itsuki saw Matsumae Shinchun smiling at him from across the street. Within two seconds, his phone received two messages from Matsumae Shinchun:
[I didn’t expect to meet the teacher here. I’m so happy.]
[Teacher, can you come to Xinchun's place for a moment?]
Go to her place?

Fujii Itsuki looked across the street again, put Jiuhua's milk tea and his own milk tea into a bag, and walked across the street.

Matsumae Shinchun put his hands together in front of him, smiled and bowed to Fujii Itsuki, then smiled and said happily: "I really didn't expect to meet you, Mr. Fujii, at this time."

".Xinchun you are here."

"I was shopping with my father. I said I saw you, teacher, and he and my father specially requested some private time."

"That's it."

"Teacher, can you and Xinchun go inside first? Xinchun has something to say to you."

"But you can, but"

"It's okay. It only takes up a little of your time. I will go to see my father soon. After all, there are guests with my father. Xinchun can't keep him waiting for too long."

"Row."

Fujii Itsuki had a bad feeling.

But Xinchun's smile was so sweet and sincere that Fujii Itsuki agreed.

He followed the girl, and the more he followed her, the more he felt something was wrong.

Why are there so few people around here?
In an alley
The girl stopped and Fujii Itsuki stood in front of a closed roller door in the alley.

He looked at Matsumae Shinharu.

The girl was now facing him, lowering her head, and spoke in a very sad tone:
"Although Xinchun knew that this was wrong, my heart told me that I had to do this. If I saw it and didn't tell the teacher, Xinchun would be upset for the rest of her life.

"Excuse me, teacher."

Matsumae Shinharu bowed to Fujii Itsuki very politely, and when Fujii Itsuki was about to ask her what she wanted to say, the girl stood on tiptoe, held his face with both hands, and kissed him directly.

Fujii Itsuki was caught off guard by the kiss.

Of course, the taste is still extremely sweet.

He was about to push away Xin Chun, but after kissing him, the girl reached out and hugged him, burying her head tightly in his arms.

Her pitiful dependence and the unconcealable uneasiness in her heart instantly reminded Fujii Itsuki of something.

Could it be that Xinchun saw what happened between Jiuhua and me just now? !
