Chapter 96 No Time to Die Tokugawa Ritora’s Gift (Part 1)
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Higashinohara said.
There is still a sense of distance in his heart, and it is difficult for him to call people he has never met by their family names.
Higashino Takeshi is a typical dull old father in the countryside. He probably didn't have much communication with his son before, but he wasn't that sensitive and just nodded.
His eyes fell on the girl next to Higashinohara, Nishimaru Miria, who had light blond hair, a delicate face, and was dressed like she came from a wealthy family, and the carefree little daughter Higashino who was a wild wild man by the sea.
Yukino can be said to be completely different.
Is this the "distinguished guest" in New Tokyo that my son refers to? I heard that they are still classmates. At such a young age, they can go to the same school as Higashinohara. She is indeed a girl from a big city.
At this time, Nishimaru Miria also quickly came up to say hello, "Hello, uncle! I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."
Takeshi Higashino did not have any contempt for Nishimaru Miria's young age. He bowed slightly and said very solemnly, "Ms. Nishimaru, you're welcome. It's our first time meeting you. Thank you for taking care of Higashino in New Tokyo."
This sounds a little weird, after all, Higashinohara and Nishimaru Miria have such an age gap, and vice versa, they are almost the same.
It's a pity that in the eyes of his parents, Higashinohara is just a dull and stupid boy.
Higashinohara said on the phone that he had met a younger sister. Now when they met, he discovered that the other girl was born into a wealthy family. Higashinotake was dull and not stupid. He only thought it was the appreciation of Higashinohara from his father's generation, otherwise he wouldn't be able to let his daughter go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.
Therefore, he still needs to have the etiquette and respect that a father should have.
"Uncle, you misunderstood. It's my elder brother who takes care of me." But there was some fear on Nishimaru Miria's face.
She now has many people in the academy who respect her very much, but the uncle in front of her is her eldest brother's father, and the more polite he is, the more uneasy she feels.
At this time, Higashino Yukino suddenly shouted, "Dad! Come home quickly! Didn't we prepare a lot of delicious food today? I'm starving!"
"I just know how to eat."
Higashikata scolded.
Then he added, "It's been a hard journey, so let's go back first and talk about it first."
"Then let's go back first." Higashinohara smiled and nodded.
Next to her, Miria Nishimaru also breathed a sigh of relief. She was a child after all, and the one she usually interacted with the most was Higashinohara, so she was completely uncomfortable with such kind of greetings from adults.
But when she turned around, she found Higashino Yukino winking at her proudly.
Nishimaru Miria was stunned for a moment, then realized that Higashino Yukino had just helped her out because she was hungry, and a look of gratitude suddenly appeared on her little face.
Higashino Yukino just straightened her little body and groaned twice, but secretly thought in her heart: Onisang brought back this "sister", which is quite good.
Then you must also know what first come, first served means. I am Onisang’s sister first, so you shouldn’t compete with me for any delicious food in the future, right?
Not to mention Higashino Yukino’s little thoughts.
A group of four people came outside the station and got into a minivan parked nearby.
When putting the luggage, Higashino Takeshi took the huge suitcase from Higashinohara's hand, his hand suddenly sank slightly, and then he looked at Higashinohara's face with some relief.
He didn't understand the talent sequence, but since he was a child, his child had always been physically weaker than the children of other fishermen's families.
I just have some speed skills in long-distance running, but I didn't expect that I would awaken some abilities in junior high school and be recruited into a private academy in a big city.
But when I came back this year, Higashinohara was not blushing or out of breath just now while holding such a big box in his hands. It seemed that insisting on sending his son to New Tokyo was indeed the right choice, but he didn't know whether he could successfully pass the exam next year and be promoted to the second level.
grade.
In the esper academy exam, Higashino didn't understand anything and couldn't give any advice from his elders. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he closed the car door and sat in the driver's seat.
I can only hope that my son will live up to his expectations.
Although Xiaoqingshui Town in Shari County is a small fishing village, it is of course impossible to live by eating only fish. There are many fields on both sides of the road where daily food and vegetables are grown.
While driving on the road, Higashino Takeshi poked his head out of the window from time to time.
This is the bad thing about people in small places. You basically know everyone along the way, and you have to say hello when you meet them.
It was not easy for Higashinohara to hide, so he could only stick his head out and give an awkward but polite smile to some people who had or had no impression of the original owner's memory.
By the time they arrived at Koshimizu Town, it was already noon.
The original owner's mother, Ryoko Mizue, wearing an apron, was waiting on the roadside outside her house. The middle-aged woman in her forties, with equally dark skin, greeted Higashinohara with greetings.
Women's minds are still relatively delicate, and the mother quickly noticed the changes in her son. He seemed to have become much more mature and polite than before, and he no longer only cared about himself when he came home as before.
But considering that my son went to study in a big city like New Tokyo, and I heard it was a private aristocratic academy, it was normal for a child of this age not to see any changes in two years.
She felt a little relieved, and warmly welcomed Miria Nishimaru into the house to keep warm.
The Higashinohara family's house is in a two-story building with a black brick and colorful roof. You can see the northern coastline from the second floor. There is also a TV signal pot on the roof - most TV stations in Wano country have to pay.
With this signal pot, you can watch many different channels, and occasionally you can watch TV stations from the neighboring country in the northwest, the Grand Duchy of Sayash.
But now that the Grand Duchy of Shayash has disintegrated, the country is in turmoil, and many TV stations are probably closed down.
"It's so warm."
After entering the house, Nishimaru Miria let out a small sigh.
There is a wood-burning stove in the living room on the first floor of Higashinohara, with a small steaming kettle placed on it and surrounded by a circle of roasted sweet potatoes. The sweet fragrance floating there is very tempting.
As soon as Xiaodou Ding Higashino Yukino ran in the door, she stretched out her little paws and stepped on her feet to grab the sweet potatoes - they hadn't been roasted when she left in the morning.
The mother, Mizue Ryoko, who came in with a fruit plate, took a picture of her from behind, with a happy smile on her face, and said to Nishimaru Miria, "This is Miss Nishimaru, I guess. Thank you for your hard work on the way here from Tokyo, hurry up! Please!"
Eat some fruit first."
"Thank you, Auntie, you're welcome." Nishimaru Miria waved her little hand.
"Okay, I'll prepare the dishes first. Yukino, don't be busy eating all the time. Help your brother entertain Miss Nishimaru from Tokyo." Mizue Ryoko said to Higashino Yukino who didn't know when she caught a sweet potato.
Higashino Yukino's little mouth was bulging, and she kept blowing the sweet potatoes in her hands with her hands. Hearing this, she quickly waved her little hands, "I know, here, I'll give you half."
She deftly split the hot sweet potato from the middle and handed it halfway. Then she remembered something, turned around, pulled out a piece of cardboard and wrapped it outside, and then handed it to Nishimaru Miria again.
Nishimaru Miria carefully took half of the roasted sweet potato and held it in front of her body, feeling the warmth in her palms.
She looked through the rising heat of the sweet potatoes, looking at Higashinohara's parents who were busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, and Higashino Yukino who occasionally got scolded for stealing food, and a feeling of envy suddenly welled up in her heart. This was undoubtedly her childhood experience.
The "home" you have always been looking forward to.
Although Tokugawa Ritora is very nice to her now, there is always something missing. At least this kind of atmosphere is impossible to feel in the mansion in New Tokyo.
Just when Higashinohara and Nishimaru Miria arrived home.
Nemuro Strait, Hokkaido.
Speaking of which, Higashinohara's hometown, Shari-gun, is located in Abashiri City, Hokkaido. Abashiri City is located in the east of Hokkaido, and Shari-gun is in the east of Abashiri City, adjacent to the North Sea, and on the west side of a peninsula protruding from the land.
The Nemuro Strait is on the east side of the peninsula, and further to the southeast is the East China Sea.
Tokugawa Ritora, who just arrived yesterday to take over the place, received the latest news today - in addition to the Dawn Revolutionary Army of the Grand Duchy of Sayash, a new group of people have been added to the targets of this maritime transaction.
When he took the report from the communications liaison officer, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
Pirate?
These guys actually went ashore to get a piece of the pie from the Grand Duchy of Shayash?
It seems that the winter at sea this year is a bit difficult.
