Chapter 71 Encountering Suguha Esaki by chance【Please follow up】
It’s 7:23 pm in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.
Haruno Sawayama walked out of a certain Teppanyaki restaurant, his expression not very good.
I thought that this store was newly opened, and the online reviews were pretty good, so it should be a more delicious one.
I didn’t expect that I still miscalculated.
I can’t say it tastes bad, I’m just sorry for the price.
"It's better to deal with it near Shinjuku."
Sawayama Haruno said to himself.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the old-fashioned white office building not far away.
There is one of his future goals, Kodansha.
Although I don’t know if the group responsible for physical books and publishing departments is also here, but the location of this building is stated on the submission address, so it should be correct, right?
Although the other party may be more well-known for various comics and the like, as one of the four major publishing groups in the island country, it is certainly impossible for the group it controls to only produce a single one.
Calculating the manuscripts I have saved, it seems that the day when I can submit them is coming soon.
Haruno Sawayama plans to submit the first 50,000 to 80,000-word manuscripts first, and then make future plans after the follow-up results come out.
In terms of time, it probably only takes less than a week or two.
Sawayama Haruno retracted his gaze. Just as he was about to leave, his gaze shifted and happened to meet the girl with a high ponytail walking towards him.
He couldn't help but froze.
"Hey, did you come out alone today?"
Suguha Esaki was the first to say hello.
She seems a little different from the people I usually see, and she feels more familiar.
Of course, the word "self-conscious" here is not a very good word for islanders, because it means that the other party will be annoying and does not understand polite etiquette.
For example, now, Esaki Suguha directly skipped the greeting part and directly mentioned the matter of Maki Miyazawa to Haruno Sawayama.
Although Haruno Sawayama doesn't care about details like being polite or not.
"As for Maki, she doesn't want to go out tonight."
Haruno Sawayama smiled slightly and said: "I didn't expect to meet so soon. Miss Esaki didn't have time to thank you for what happened last time."
"Little things, little things."
Suguha Esaki waved her hand disapprovingly: "Since you are Master's friend, you are also my friend. And last night, she also thanked her on LINE."
"Yeah?"
Sawayama Haruno hesitated for two seconds.
It turns out that Maki Miyazawa also has such a side, but it's true, she is the kind of girl who is more rebellious but thin-skinned, and she is not very bad at heart.
No matter how reluctant she is after receiving help, she will want to express her gratitude.
"She also thanked me once in the morning, but I think she wanted to chat with me more at that time, because she took some photos of cats for me later and talked about it for a long time."
Esaki Suguha's face was calm, but she said some embarrassing words.
She took two more steps forward and explained: "I asked her if she had no friends, and then she was silent for a long time."
"Eh?" Haruno Sawayama's face was a little confused.
Girl, your words can be said to have penetrated Maki Miyazawa’s heart. That guy really doesn’t have many friends!
"Sorry, she is actually the kind of person who talks a lot in private. She just looks a little cold on the outside."
"No, it's not a bad thing."
Esaki Suguha shook her head and added: "After a while of silence, she explained to me that it was because you were away that she wanted to chat with someone else, so I simply asked if she wanted to be friends with me. Judging from the results, it should be good, right?”
"Indeed"
Sawayama Haruno twitched the corners of his mouth.
Maki, have you made friends with Suguha Esaki?
Hmm. It’s indeed a good thing, but I still feel that it’s too strange for the two of them to be friends with each other, right?
One is the kind of guy who looks cold but is extremely rebellious on the inside; the other is a somewhat familiar person who speaks simply and neatly without bothering to hide his thoughts.
No matter how you look at it, you don’t think that these two people can sit together harmoniously and make friends.
Is Maki really not going to be angry because of the other person’s straight temperament?
“Where do you plan to go next?”
Esaki Suguha took two more steps forward.
She stared at Haruno Sawayama and asked seriously: "Are you planning to go home? Maki also said when we chatted in the morning that she hoped you could stay at home more."
"No, there are other things coming next." Haruno Sawayama said subconsciously, "Because Maki adopted a cat and plans to buy some cat litter and a litter box before going home."
"So that's it, it's the one I saw in the picture this morning."
Suguha Esaki thought for two seconds, and then immediately said: "Then do we want to go together? I have raised pets, and I know which cat food is better."
"Would it be too troublesome for you? Doesn't Miss Esaki have anything else to be busy with?"
As Sawayama Haruno spoke, he calmly took two steps back.
He couldn't stand the other person's personality, it was too "direct".
I feel like the other person is the type who will do whatever comes to his mind.
"There is nothing else to do, because today is Sunday night, and I don't need the master to come to give me tutoring, so now is free time," Ezaki Suguha explained.
For her, free time seems both precious and unnecessary.
Because as an Esaki daughter, even on her days off, she has to practice swordplay during the day and study in the afternoon.
What's more, Esaki Suguha's academic performance is surprisingly poor. Since she hired Mine Shiori as a tutor, her study time has been extended to the evening. Only Sunday night can let her relax for two or three hours. .
And when the two or three hours came, she didn't know what to do.
Even if you really want to do something, just thinking about it will make you feel inexplicably tired.
So in the end it evolved into a scene where Ezaki Suguha wandered alone on the street every Sunday night.
Since it’s all about wandering wherever you go, you might as well follow Haruno Sawayama to buy cat litter and a cat box.
Judging from the cute kitten Maki Miyazawa shared in the morning, he seems to like cats very much. He happens to have some pets at home, so he might be able to give some ideas.
With this thought in mind, Suguha Esaki raised her eyes and looked straight at Haruno Sawayama without any hesitation.
Her figure itself is a very tall type among women. Although she is still not as tall as Haruno Sawayama, she can still look at her easily as long as she raises her head.
Coupled with the calm look that seemed to be taken for granted, Haruno Sawayama really couldn't find an excuse to refuse.
Do you want to take the other person?
