Chapter 195: Suguha is caring!
After coming out of the ward, Sawayama Haruno still seemed a little distracted.
Suguha Esaki on the side did not speak again, and followed behind him in silence, but his eyes would drift across the back of Haruno Sawayama from time to time.
Today's original schedule has all been cancelled, she thought to herself.
If you cancel, just cancel.
Although it is a pity, Mine Shiori is also very important to me. Not only is the relationship between master and apprentice, the two are also very good friends.
So she thought it was no big deal to cancel today's travel plans for the sake of her friends.
but
Something unexplainable seemed to have happened between this friend and Haruno.
She was a little concerned about this.
What makes her even more upset is that in this relationship between three people, she is actually the third party who is not even trying to intervene.
I couldn't face Shiori Mine, and I didn't know how to face another friend - Maki Miyazawa after returning to Tokyo.
Walking behind the other party, Esaki Suguha couldn't help but be in a trance, so much so that when the elevator door next to her opened, she was almost hit by the person coming out.
Haruno Sawayama, who just happened to turn around, pulled her to avoid a collision.
"Suguha, are you okay?"
Looking at the other party's somewhat lost look, Sawayama Haruno pursed his lips and asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"I guess so"
Esaki Suguha stared at the arm grabbed by the opponent and showed a tired smile.
"I feel a little tired after all the hard work, and I'm also worried about the master's condition."
"Really?" Haruno Sawayama let go of his hand and said helplessly, "Sorry, I probably won't be able to go to Kiyomizu Temple today."
Actually, you can go, it’s just noon now.
They could just find a restaurant near the hospital to eat, and then go directly to Kiyomizu Temple after eating. Maybe it would be faster than starting from Ginkakuji Temple.
But this is obviously unrealistic.
After all, the other member who came to Kyoto with the two of them is now admitted to the hospital. No matter how playful he is, he cannot leave the other person alone in the hospital.
Obviously, Suguha Esaki thought so too.
"It's okay. Let's see if there is another chance tomorrow." She whispered.
As if to divert this inexplicably heavy topic, Esaki Suguha was silent for a while and then spoke again: "When I was shopping just now, I had someone order food from Hyotei, but it wasn't delivered so quickly. "
"Haruno, do you want to grab something to eat nearby?" she added.
"I can do that. The main thing is to take care of Shiori's condition." Haruno Sawayama subconsciously looked back at the location of the ward and said helplessly, "I don't know if there will be a restaurant selling porridge around."
He wanted to buy the other party some porridge to drink.
Island people generally regard porridge as the staple food of patients. Although Sawayama Haruno doesn't really care whether he only drinks porridge when he is sick, but if he thinks about it carefully, if the other person's physical condition is really not good, drinking porridge is actually a good idea. It's also the best choice.
It would be very troublesome if you want to buy it. After all, there are not many shops selling porridge, especially in a place like Kyoto.
It would be much more convenient if you were in Tokyo. There are far more restaurants than in other areas. If that doesn't work, you can still go to places with a lot of Chinese people like Ikebukuro, where you can definitely buy many kinds of porridge.
"Porridge, I'm ready too."
Just when Sawayama Haruno was having a headache, Esaki Suguha next to him explained softly: "There is also a porridge seller in Hyotei. It is for their porridge that I specially ordered it."
Her thoughtfulness far exceeded Haruno Sawayama's imagination, and she had already arranged everything when she left the hospital to buy water.
And Hyotei is not an ordinary restaurant. To be precise, it is one of the very few Michelin three-star old restaurants in Kyoto. With a history of 450 years, it is also the only kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto. The only restaurant that serves porridge for breakfast.
It can only be said that the lavish behavior of wealthy people once again exceeded Haruno Sawayama's imagination.
But now that Feng Shiori's lunch problem was solved, he relaxed a little.
Looking at Esaki Suguha who was still a little disappointed, he smiled helplessly.
"Thanks for your hard work."
As he spoke, he touched the other person's head.
It's almost like encouraging my sister.
In fact, judging from their age, the two-year age difference can be interpreted as brother and sister. After all, seniors and junior students can be barely counted into the "brother and sister family", right?
It's just that Esaki Suguha is too tall, so her head-touching movements seem a bit strange.
The other party's height of 1.7 meters is far higher than other women in the island country. Although she is a little worse than Haruno Sawayama, if they are not allowed to compare carefully back to back, they will still feel that their heights are almost the same. After all, Esaki Suguha's figure looks taller.
After realizing something was wrong with this action, Sawayama Haruno originally wanted to take his hand back, but was stopped by Ezaki Suguha.
She took Haruno Sawayama's hand and motioned for him to comfort her a little more.
Seeing this, Sawayama Haruno had no choice but to comply with her small request.
"Thanks."
Esaki Suguha narrowed her eyes happily, with an expression of enjoyment.
"I feel a little better," she whispered.
"Yeah, that's good."
Sawayama Haruno also laughed, but before he could say a few more words, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
The clear and melodious ringtone seemed to frighten the tall girl in front of her. The other person subconsciously distanced herself, but after reacting, she looked at the other person with apologetic eyes.
Sawayama Haruno didn't mind too much. He took out his mobile phone and looked at it twice before explaining: "It's Miss Morikawa who called."
The other party has contacted him very frequently in the past two days.
I just came over last night to report the good news, and I called again today.
By the way, today isn't Sunday. Even if I don't have a day off on Saturday, I won't have a day off on Sunday. The editing industry is really hard work. "You tell her first."
Esaki Suguha said softly: "Hyotei's meal is probably ready. I'll go down and wait. I'll bring it to the master later."
"good."
Sawayama Haruno nodded.
After watching the other person walk to the back of the elevator, he took his mobile phone to a deserted corner of the hospital corridor and answered the call without thinking.
"Hey, Kiriyama-sensei?!"
Morikawa Riho's excited voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.
The extremely high emphasis shocked Haruno Sawayama.
Although he couldn't see the other person's appearance through the phone screen, he seemed to have imagined Riho Morikawa's excitement.
"What's wrong, Miss Morikawa?"
"Sorry, I just lost my temper."
Riho Morikawa quickly adjusted, but could not hide her excitement in her tone: "There may be a new turn in the game."
"What's the meaning?"
Sawayama Haruno's eyes moved slightly.
"Tonight there will be an opportunity for our group's senior management to have a banquet with the Ishizawa family. The Ishizawa family hopes that you can also attend."
Riho Morikawa said excitedly: "Do you know what this means?"
"Uh, does that mean I can win the first prize?"
Sawayama Haruno asked tentatively.
The other party suddenly seemed to be stuck, and his originally passionate tone suddenly stopped.
This reaction even made Haruno Sawayama wonder if he had said the wrong thing.
"That Miss Morikawa."
"Ahem, the matter of winning the championship is just another matter."
Riho Morikawa on the other end of the phone coughed dryly and whispered: "I'm just telling you that the chances are very high. After all, those who can be invited to tonight's banquet are basically very, very, very old people. "
"Yeah."
"Of course, Teacher Kiriyama, this is your problem." Riho Morikawa sighed through the phone screen and said slightly depressed, "Actually, I am not qualified to participate in tonight's banquet. Batch people.”
"Huh?"
"But probably because of Teacher Kiriyama's blessing, I was also invited."
Riho Morikawa paused, chuckled and then explained: "You probably don't know what this means."
"Didn't I tell you before, the Shi Ze family actually has a lot of resources that even the publishing group needs. The biggest reason for this is because the people in the Cultural Affairs Bureau have a close relationship with the Ishi Ze family, so they can be used by the Shi Ze family. Being treated as a guest of the Ze family basically means that your career will be successful. "
"I was originally an ordinary editor. Even within Kodansha, my qualifications are not particularly powerful. Do you understand, Mr. Kiriyama?"
Riho Morikawa patiently explained: "But things will be different after this banquet. It can be said that as long as I get the ticket for this banquet, my development in the group company will be smooth sailing."
"I probably understand."
Sawayama Haruno blinked.
That’s what it means.
It's like integrating into the circle at the next level.
Because the Ishizawa family is so powerful, anyone who can be invited to their internal banquet is equivalent to being cared for by others. Therefore, no matter how ordinary Ms. Morikawa's resume is, she will be recognized by the group leaders after attending this banquet. This is probably what the vigorous cultivation means, right?
"That means, my book also...?"
"Yes, your book will definitely get corresponding resources. Even if you are not the leader, you will have what you should have in the future."
Riho Morikawa said categorically: "Especially when the other party is so optimistic about it, and the group has also had plans to create stars and gods in the past six months, it is very likely that Kiriyama-sensei's work will receive more resource support. ”
"That's good"
Hearing this, Sawayama Haruno breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, "Norwegian Wood" can still be a hit.
Although this process seems a bit confusing, being invited to the banquet means that the other party should have read your book and felt that you have potential before extending an olive branch, right?
"Did Mr. Kiriyama bring formal clothes to Kyoto?"
On the other end of the phone, Riho Morikawa immediately said in a nervous tone.
"Although it is said to be a banquet between the group and the Ishizawa family, we will definitely not be the only ones present. Some famous writers near Kyoto may also be invited to this banquet."
"It is impossible not only the writer but also other characters are involved."
"If Teacher Kiriyama doesn't bring formal clothes, it's best to go to a store and buy a temporary one now."
"I have one." Haruno Sawayama said quickly, "I just brought two sets."
"That's good"
Hearing this, Riho Morikawa immediately breathed a sigh of relief, put on a more relaxed tone and said with a smile: "It's really thanks to Mr. Kiriyama this time. Maybe Mr. Kiriyama will soon become famous throughout the island country. ”
"Excessive praise."
Sawayama Haruno pretended to be humble.
In fact, the corners of his mouth were already a bit unbearable.
As long as it can be successfully published and obtain publicity resources.
Then it is certain that "Norwegian Wood" will become a hit. Even if it is affected by the times, it will not change this result.
