Kazuki Nishino returned to Gunma County with Mai Shiraishi today. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of a few days of annual leave to visit his hometown in China in his previous life, but suddenly he found a photo album in the corner of the apartment. It was him.
Taken in Gunma Prefecture when I was a child.
There were also his "parents" on it. There were not many photos of the three of them, but they were quite warm, so Kazuki Nishino came up with the idea of visiting his predecessor's hometown, Numata City, Gunma Prefecture.
Knowing that Mai Shiraishi was from her hometown, she asked him if he still remembered his house. She was also vague, but she happened to be planning to go back to see her parents, so the two of them walked together.
In fact, it is more convenient to go to Gunma Prefecture by car, but Nishino Kazuki wanted to be more free and comfortable, so he chose to fly.
After getting their plane tickets immediately, the two of them packed up and set off.
After being teased by Nishino Kazuki several times, Shiraishi Mai sat angrily on her seat without saying anything, turning around to look at him, and folded her hands on her chest, as if she was coming to comfort me.
Really cute.
It’s so easy to understand why she looks so similar to Erika Ikuta.
Mai Shiraishi, who had just kept away from strangers, was relieved by Nishino Kazuki after a few words, and returned to her normal appearance.
Soon after, several announcements were made to announce the boarding of the plane. The two of them walked through the VIP channel. There were not many pedestrians, especially since the two of them were disguised, it was basically impossible to recognize them.
.........
It was still around 12 noon, but the sunshine was already exceptionally warm, and the blue sky was filled with vivid white clouds, as clear as a mirror.
The plane was parked on the runway of Tokyo Haneda International Airport and was preparing to take off. After a while, the roar of the engine accompanied the extension of the wings, and the plane gradually accelerated and soared into the sky.
The two sat in the business class seats. Mai Shiraishi sank into the exaggeratedly comfortable seat, listening to the soothing light music, closing her eyes, and her thoughts drifted away with the music.
She seemed to be very tired, and she fell asleep after a while.
Nishino Kazuki sat next to her and looked at the way she closed her eyes. Even though she was wearing a mask, she could still feel her even breathing and her girlish charm as her eyelashes fluttered gently from time to time.
He pressed the service button, and the stewardess came over with small steps.
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Nishino Kazuki. He put an index finger on his lips to signal for a softer voice.
"Please bring me a blanket, thank you." Nishino Kazuki was afraid that Shiraishi Mai would be cold.
The stewardess smiled and nodded, then brought the blanket.
After thanking Nishino Kazuki, he gently put it on Shiraishi Mai, then put on his headphones and watched the movie on the plane.
After that, the plane landed smoothly, and the two got in the car and arrived at Numata City in Gunma Prefecture, which is the hometown of Mai Shiraishi and Kazuki Nishino, and the city where Mai Shiraishi has unpleasant memories.
"Let me find a hotel to store my luggage first." Nishino Kazuki actually didn't have much luggage. He packed it in a backpack and it was not full yet.
"Are you going home first?" Nishino Kazuki turned to ask Shiraishi Mai again.
Nishino Kazuki estimated that his parents had sold all the houses in Numata City. Now when he goes back, he just wants to ask the owner if he has paid back the money and if he knows about his home. Last time Yasuda Koji said he knew his grandfather, but he didn’t know how.
Such situation.
"Why don't you...come home with me?" Mai Shiraishi said hesitantly, then lowered her head, then raised it again, with a little blush on her face, "Wait until I put down the things, and then accompany you
Let’s go to your hometown’s house and have a look.”
Nishino Kazuki stood there stunned. Should he go to Shiraishi Mai's house to meet his parents?
Is it a little too fast?
When Nishino Kazuki didn't answer, Shiraishi Mai seemed a little embarrassed. She raised her hand, shook it gently, and said: "I'm afraid you can't find the direction. If you don't want to, forget it!"
Mai Shiraishi is thin-skinned.
"Go! Let me go visit my uncle and aunt." Nishino Kazuki suddenly shouted, startling Shiraishi Mai.
"Go ahead and shout so loudly!" She pouted, snickering inwardly.
The two of them walked around and finally found themselves in front of a self-built house in Takamatsucho, Numata City. This was the home of Mai Shiraishi's parents. Originally, they had to go earlier, but Kazuki Nishino had to go to the mall to buy some gifts because of his visit.
So as not to be rude and empty-handed.
Because they had called earlier, they knew that their daughter would be home this afternoon, and the door was opened not long after the doorbell was rang.
The person who opened the door was a woman in her forties, with shoulder-length black hair, fair and translucent skin, and the slight wrinkles on her face could not hide her temperament. She was a graceful and beautiful lady.
"Mom~" Mai Shiraishi called.
Shiraishi's mother saw a happy expression on her face when she saw her daughter, and then she saw Nishino Kazuki behind her, and was a little surprised.
"Who is this?"
"He is Nishino Kazuki. He used to be a senior in the same school as my sister. Now he is a senior who takes good care of me, so we went back to Numata together." Shiraishi Mai explained.
"Hello Nishino-san, it's the first time we meet. Mai has been taking great care of you." Mrs. Shiraishi was very polite, and she looked like a Yamato Nadeshiko.
"No, I'm here. I'm taking the liberty to disturb you today." Nishino Kazuki hurriedly bowed in return.
Mai Shiraishi watched from the side, curling the corners of her mouth and saying nothing.
"Come in quickly." Mrs. Shiraishi asked Mai Shiraishi and Kazuki Nishino to enter.
Shiraishi Mai was familiar with the road, brought Nishino Kazuki into the hall, pushed him onto the sofa, and then ran upstairs.
"Mom, where's dad?" he shouted.
"Your father has gone out and won't be back until later." Mrs. Shiraishi said, holding a cup of tea in her hand and bringing it to Nishino Kazuki, "Please use it."
"Thank you." Nishino Kazuki thanked him after taking it, took a sip, and put it on the coffee table in front of him.
He took out the gift he bought from the side and handed it to her: "Shiraishi-san, please accept this small gift."
"Really, you are so polite, you even brought a gift." Mrs. Shiraishi smiled happily, pretending to refuse for a while, and finally accepted it.
At this time, Mai Shiraishi also came down from upstairs, changed into other clothes, and sat next to Nishino Kazuki.
Seeing his uncomfortable look, he chuckled.
"You also have embarrassing moments?" Mai Shiraishi finally found a point to make fun of him.
