Chapter 95 Why do you have another sister behind my back?
Mountains, forests, streams, wilderness, hills. All kinds of early winter scenes passed quickly outside the train window.
December 30th.
Today is the third day back to Hokkaido.
After having fun in Otaru, Hakodate and other places, Higashinohara ended his school trip to Takehara Minami Private Academy and got on the train to his hometown in Shari to celebrate the New Year.
Accompanying him was Nishimaru Miria, who was curious about everything outside the window.
Originally, she was going back to Tokyo with Tatokawa Asuka and others, but now Tokugawa Ritora was on a business trip in Hokkaido. With Tokugawa Ritora's consent, Nishimaru Miria chose to go home with Higashinohara to celebrate the New Year.
Speaking of which, although Nishimaru Miria's family background was not very good at first, she is a genuine Tokyoite. This is the first time she has left Tokyo in her old age, and coming to her hometown in Hokkaido and Higashinohara to celebrate the New Year is like going to the countryside.
The two of them took a car all the way north from Sapporo. She sat by the window and was very curious about everything outside the window. She often leaned on the car window and watched the regressing scenery outside with relish.
"Brother, are we almost there?" Miria Nishimaru asked in anticipation when she saw Higashinohara opening his eyes from his "nap" in the seat next to him.
Higashinohara, whose soul has traveled through this world, is actually returning to his hometown in Hokkaido for the first time. He can only vaguely infer based on the train arrival timetable, "Well, it should be almost there."
"Really? That's great."
Nishimaru Miria said excitedly, but at the same time she was still a little nervous.
Although she was already very familiar with Higashinohara, this was the first time she met Higashinohara's family. She thought that family members were naturally very important people to her elder brother, and she was afraid that she would be nervous and make mistakes that would make her unpopular.
Naturally, Higashinohara could not guess what the little girl was thinking.
The train drove out of the mountain forest, and there were flat rice fields on both sides. In the cold winter, some farmers dressed the same as those seen in previous lives were burning abandoned crops in the fields. The billowing black smoke rose into the distant sky like black dragons.
Probably another half hour passed.
When the train stopped at the station, Nishimaru Miria, who had been nervous and excited all the way, fell asleep at some point.
Her little head rested on Higashinohara's arm, and when she slept, her hands only held Higashinohara's wrist, as if that would make her feel safer.
Higashinohara woke up Nishimaru Miria, who opened his sleepy eyes like a little beast, stared at Higashinohara with a smile on his face in confusion, blinked his big eyes twice, and then realized, and suddenly his little face felt a little uncomfortable.
He bowed his head slightly in amusement.
"We're here, thank you for your hard work, let's get off the car." Higashinohara smiled and rubbed her little head.
Now that without the strong labor force of Yuuto Aida, Higashinohara can only do it himself.
Fortunately, his [Physique] and [Strength] have now exceeded 20 points, which is equivalent to a physical system user. It is no problem to carry these things.
The two of them followed the crowd and got off the train at Shari Station. After exiting the station, Higashinohara looked around.
He originally wanted to take the bus home by himself.
But after the parents learned that Higashinohara would bring "distinguished guests" from New Tokyo home for the New Year, my mother hurriedly urged my father to borrow a van and come to Shari Station to pick them up.
It's just that although the original owner's impression of his father was in Higashinohara's mind, the original owner felt ashamed because he had missed a grade and hadn't been back to his hometown for two years, so the impression was inevitably a bit blurry.
In addition, the Spring Festival is approaching and the station is extremely crowded, which greatly increases the difficulty of finding Higashinohara.
"Onii-chan! Onii-chan!"
Higashinohara was looking around when suddenly, he heard the shrill voice of a little girl shouting in his ears, which sounded lively and full of energy.
Higashinohara's senses were now astonishing. When he looked around, he saw in his field of vision a little boy with a round face about 1.2 meters tall and short hair like a watermelon rind. The moment he saw Higashinohara, his big eyes were bright and his pupils were black.
Zhong rushed up at a trot full of excitement and excitement.
"Yukino! Run slower! You kid!"
Behind him was a tall man with a slightly hunched back. His skin was very dark due to exposure to wind and sun for many years at the beach. His forehead was covered with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and his hair on the temples was a little gray. If you look closely, you could still tell that he looked a bit like Higashinohara.
Similarities.
But the little kid didn't listen. He rushed to Higashinohara and very skillfully "helped" him by taking the bag Higashinohara was carrying. He held it with both hands and shook it twice, almost sitting on the ground.
Higashinohara also realized at this moment that this little bean curd should be Higashino Yukino who would interrupt and ask for gifts every month when he called his parents.
"Wow! Why is it so heavy? Did Onisan bring me a very expensive gift?" Higashino Yukino was struggling to carry it but still refused to let go, her chubby little face turned red.
Higashinohara, who let her snatch the bag, looked a little amused. This little beancurd had the same personality as the chirping person on the phone. He was not a worry-free little guy. He and Nishimaru Miria could be said to have two completely opposite personalities.
Oh, by the way, where is Nishimaru Miria?
When Higashinohara turned around, he found that Miria Nishimaru was timidly hiding behind him, secretly looking at this little girl about his own age with half of his pretty face exposed.
Is this the elder brother's sister?
From the beginning until now, Higashino Yukino's attention has been focused on the bag in Higashinohara's hand, and now she noticed the small figure following Higashinohara.
"Onisan, is this a distinguished guest from New Tokyo? Hello, I am Higashino Yukino." Xiaodou Ding immediately tilted his head and introduced himself in the middle of the introduction, but suddenly stopped.
Higashinohara gave her a confused look.
Unexpectedly, Higashino Yukino also looked up at him in a daze. There was a complicated and unreadable look in those big, dark, clear eyes, as if to say, "You actually have other dogs outside behind my back." That's not right.
, is my sister.
Higashinohara coughed dryly.
Strangely enough, it was also the first time they met, and he still felt a little distanced from his original owner's father, who was standing not far away and looking at him with a smile, and his eyes subconsciously dodge.
But for this little Douding, who has a carefree but not unpleasant personality, he has only heard voices on the phone occasionally in the past six months.
But the atmosphere at the moment is very natural and not unfamiliar at all.
Speaking of which, I remember that when I first entered this world as a soul more than half a year ago, the first person I got to know was Miria Nishimaru, who lived in the same corridor. Is it possible that I have a greater affinity for little girls?
"Look whose gift this is?"
Higashinohara smiled and put down his suitcase and took out a gift he bought at a shopping mall in Shibuya, New Tokyo.
This is a large brown koala doll, almost the same size as a little beanie. It looks silly, and Higashinohara thinks Higashino Yukino will probably like it.
The result was as expected. Higashino Yukino immediately hugged the transparent packaging bag outside the koala and couldn't put it down. She was beaming with excitement and her mouth was about to split to the back of her ears.
But after being excited for a while, she suddenly stopped smiling and stretched out her hand towards Higashinohara. She looked up at Higashinohara eagerly and said, "Onisan, where's the compensation for your vacation in Sapporo?"
"What compensation?" Higashinohara was stunned.
Xiao Douding's face suddenly fell.
She wrinkled her little nose in grievance, "Onisan, you agreed that if you don't take me with you to enjoy the pleasure at the resort, you can give me an extra gift as compensation when you come back."
Higashinohara laughed a little when he heard this, and then he remembered that when he called his parents two days ago to report, the little kid heard on the other end of the phone that Higashinohara lived in a luxury resort in the big city of Sapporo. He took the opportunity to ask Higashinohara to come back and bring more
Compensate her with gifts.
It's a pity that every time she calls, her chatter is automatically filtered by Higashinohara - if he is really distracted and listens to her muttering next to the phone every time, it will be completely impossible to have a normal conversation.
so extra gift
Of course there is none.
Seeing Higashino Yukino's expression on the verge of tears, even though he knew that this quirky little boy was probably acting, Higashinohara was also a little confused.
He was thinking about whether to go to the station to buy a gift.
At this time, the middle-aged man with rough and dark skin came over and scolded with a straight face, "Xueino, your brother is studying abroad to save money. Don't bother him when you get home."
Although Higashino Yukino is not afraid of her father, she is quite sensible. She put away the grievance on her little face and showed a smile as if she had changed her face, but she still muttered something childish like "A man can't keep his word, and the gift must be made up for in the future."
if.
Higashinohara smiled helplessly and looked at the middle-aged man walking towards him. If he remembered correctly, his name should be Higashino Takeshi.
