You only care about the strategy

Chapter 204 Who Knows
Saturday, bakery cafe in Lao Cai.

Although Megumi Nakano is Asakura Nei's biological mother, Shiina Kiri is still worried.

After all, in his opinion, Nakano Megumi already had a history of hurting girls. If the girl hadn't been heartbroken and had to leave, he really didn't want her to leave with Nakano Megumi.

Moreover, just like the request he mentioned, he would really feel at ease only if he went with the girl to see her grandfather.

Last night on the phone, he didn't explicitly say that the girl wanted to leave, but used the excuse of meeting him to make an appointment with Megumi Nakano to this bakery cafe again.

The time they agreed on was ten o'clock in the morning.

Because of the weekend, the old street was already crowded with people at this time, and everyone seemed to be walking in a hurry.

It's a sunny day today, but the second floor of the cafe is blocked by gray glass floor-to-ceiling windows, which makes it bright but not dazzling.

They arrived at around 40:[-]. After ordering two coffees and bread, they went upstairs to wait together.

This cafe is on the corner, so there will be plenty of window seats.

After Shiina Kiri chose a place to sit down, he saw the girl sitting opposite him.

Shiina fog. "..."

When Nakano Megumi comes, he will naturally sit with his daughter, not next to him.

The roles seem to have been reversed. Last time Asakura Nene relied on him, this time it will be Nakano Megumi.

But it's obviously only been more than half a month.

However, the girl hasn't changed much, she will still be the one betrayed.

Last time it was her mother who gave birth to her, this time it was her beloved boy.

Shiina Kiri stood up and walked to the girl to sit down, and saw her frowning.

Because it was by the window, she couldn't get out.

"You hate me so much? Wait a little longer. I want to know if Aunt Nakano has returned to your grandpa's house. If so, I will let you leave with confidence."

In the past, he would hold her little hand while talking. The girl's little hand was soft and comfortable to hold.

But not now. You have to be self-aware. The girl is very resistant to his contact now.

He was no longer clean in her eyes.

He subconsciously raised his hand, then lifted the coffee cup up slowly, lowered his head and took a sip.

It was bitter and a little sour, and he couldn't get used to drinking it without sugar.

He still remembers what this coffee is called, "Dusk"?
The name was a bit confusing, and he wasn't very used to the taste. As expected, a common man like him couldn't taste fine chaff.

"Ah."

The girl retracted her gaze and turned to look out the window.

In fact, they were not in the same seat as last time, but it didn't matter. The world outside the window was just a mime, and she was just looking at it.

The time quickly passed ten o'clock, and just when Shiina Kiri thought that Nakano Megumi had been delayed by something, and planned to call him to ask, he looked up and saw her arriving in a hurry.

Shiina Kiri stood up and motioned for the woman to sit down.

"Sorry, Mr. Kiri Shiina, there was an accident on the road, so the Shinkansen is delayed."

"It's okay, Asakura and I have just been here for a while, Aunt Nakano."

The Shinkansen generally rarely suffers from delays or accidents...if it is not a natural disaster such as an earthquake, it may be a rail failure or vehicle failure.

"Okay, I'm very sorry."

The woman clasped her hands together and apologized again.

It can be seen that she is in a good mood today, after all, she saw Asakura Yin again.

A blond waiter came not far away. After briefly asking Nakano Megumi if he wanted coffee, he wrote down the type of coffee and bread, then turned and left.

Nakano Megumi finally plucked up the courage to look at Asakura Sound and shouted. "sound."

"Ah."

Asakura Yin still looked out the window and responded without looking back.

Even so, the woman didn't mind at all. Instead, she seemed to be greatly encouraged and said to herself.

"Mom went back to Osaka to see grandpa this time, and he promised to let us go back."

She said it easily, and grandpa agreed, but the process would never be that simple.

Asakura Yin was silent for a moment after hearing her words, and then turned to look at the woman sitting opposite him.

Although she wore light makeup, it could not completely hide the fatigue on the woman's face.

She really worked hard for her original wrongdoings.

For example, she divorced her ex-husband; for example, she was afraid that she would be bullied, so she took the initiative to quit her job in Tokyo, and lost all face to ask her grandpa to take her in.

Some things, once done, will be like a lump in your throat, and no amount of compensation can smooth them out.

But she is a mother after all.

Her father abandoned her when she was still pregnant with her.

Her mother gave birth to her, and then she lived alone in this cannibalistic Tokyo.

She knew that it was not easy for her mother.

So when she was 13 years old, when faced with her mother's request to remarry, she had no intention of stopping her.

She actually sincerely hopes that her mother can find someone who truly loves her and can be happier.

My mother had a really hard time in those years.

Even if her mother did something wrong, she actually has no right to never see her mother again.

It would be fine if they were born but not raised, but if they are born and raised...

Although she would be disappointed because of what her mother said that day, she was her mother's daughter after all.

The scene was silent for a while.

Shiina Kiri's goal today seems to have been achieved, and Grandpa Asakura Neto agreed to take in their mother and daughter.

"Mr. Shiina Kiri..."

After the small meeting, Nakano Megumi hesitated and seemed to want to get his daughter back again.

Last time, Shiina Kiri hinted that Asakura Neto was not safe with her, so she didn't agree to it.

"Aunt Nakano, just call me Xiaowu."

The word "sir" is really not a good word. There is always a feeling that he is a generation older than Asakura Yin.

Last time, he specifically mentioned the name Nakano Kei called him, and she readily agreed. But then for some reason, the woman started to be very polite to him again.

"Xiao Wu, can you let Yin go back with me? I will definitely treat her well this time, and I won't stand in the way of your affairs. You two can just talk about it on your own, as long as you don't lie to Yin."

She looked cautious, after all, Asakura Yin was lost by her.

But this time she really got it right...

"Is Grandpa Asakura's home in Osaka?" Shiina Kiri asked him the question he was most concerned about.

"Correct."

Osaka is a bit far from Tokyo.

Shiina Kiri was a little reluctant to give up.

The girl didn't speak, but Shiina Kiri knew that she was waiting for him to agree.

"Okay, today or tomorrow?"

Megumi Nakano didn't expect that he would actually agree, and was obviously a little unbelievable.

But she quickly thought of something and looked at Asakura Yin aside.

Asakura Yin did not show any intention of refusing.

But the last time they met, it was clear that she just wanted to be by his side.

"Xiao Wu, did you and Yin quarrel?" Nakano Kei thought carefully.

Shiina Kiri nodded slightly.

"I made Asakura angry, and she wanted to go back and live for a while."

"Is that so? Yin."

"Ah."

The girl didn't say anything about his cheating, which saved him a lot of face.

Why doesn't it count as cheating? She really planned to marry him.

"Are we leaving today?"

For Megumi Nakano, it was an unexpected surprise. Her daughter finally returned to her again.

Before that, she was even very happy because Asakura Nene was willing to see her again.

Asakura Sound did not answer, but looked at Shiina Kiri.

"How about tomorrow, it's already noon, and I also want to follow and see the scenery of Osaka."

Shiina Kiri made an excuse.

There is actually no difference if the girl leaves one day earlier or one day later.But he still hopes that the sooner the better.

"This…"

These two excuses are really far-fetched.

It's just less than 10:30, and it only takes about three hours from Tokyo to Osaka on the Tokaido Shinkansen.

As for going to see the scenery in Osaka, I went to Osaka today, can’t I see it tomorrow?

"it is good."

The girl agreed for her.

"Ok."

Nakano Megumi smiled a little forcedly.

As expected, the girl will stay at Shiina Kiri's house for one night.

According to her, the two of them might have some intimate behavior at night.

But my daughter is obviously still so young.

In fact, she really thought too much this time. Asakura Yin would never let him touch her again.

……

After the matter was settled, Shiina Kiri left with Asakura Sound.

As for Nakano Megumi, he found a hotel to stay.

At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, they will gather at Ueda Station and take the Shinkansen to Osaka.

On the old street, the girl walked quietly beside him.

This road carries many memories for them.

For more than a month, he would usually ask her to go out to the supermarket or shopping mall every two to four days on the grounds that there was no food in the refrigerator.

He held her hand on this street, touched her little head, and carried her for a long distance.

Today will most likely be the last time.

Shiina Kiri took her left hand, causing the girl to struggle for a while.

"Hold me one last time."

He never let go.

In the past, she would have been very angry and said seriously, "Before you lead me, you have to ask me first."

But not today. All the girl's seemingly boring requests are in the end a sign of her love.

If one day she no longer bothers with these demands, she will be deeply disappointed.

However, although she resisted this time, she did not break away.

He held her little hand and actually felt grateful.

She must still like him.

"From now on, you should also eat well at grandpa's house. If you are unhappy, call me."

"Looking for you?"

Her tone was very surprised. If she wasn't happy to find him, she would be even more unhappy.

"Of course, I will call you occasionally."

He didn't seem to understand her tone and kept talking to himself.

The two held hands. The girl's palm was still soft, but the hand-holding experience this time was really not that good.

Her nails dug into his palms, not cutting but uncomfortable.

Kittens’ little hands actually have claws.
……

In the evening, Shiina Kiri looked at the kitten lying on the corner of the sofa writing a novel as always.

"Can you make dinner, Asakura?"

The pen in the girl's hand paused for a moment.

"Wait until I finish writing this paragraph."

Teenagers don’t know that today’s story will be written by a girl.

"it is good."

Shiina Kiri didn't mean to rush. In fact, he just wanted to complete Asakura Nei's special plot line mission and eat the food cooked by the girl for the last time.

No matter how salty the meal was, he would finish it with a smile.

He turned on the blue subtitles and checked the mission:

[Asakura Yin’s special plot line mission: Do you want to eat her cooking? How about one month? (27/30)]

These days, the girl has been having little energy because of taking gene capsules (taste), and can only cook two or three times in two weeks.

It will take two more to complete this task.

Before this, Shiina Kiri had never expected that this task would be stuck in the last few days.

He thought the two would be together for a long time.

But that's fine, if Asakura Yin wasn't by his side, he wouldn't be able to feed her the genetic medicine without worry.

What's more, she had just taken the genetic medicine for a short time. Since taking the medicine would have side effects, it was impossible for him to feed her food one after another.

There are no instructions for taking the gene capsules. If you take them continuously, the side effects will be too great and leave irreversible root causes...

If there is another chance in the future, he will definitely chase her back.

After Asakura Nei put down the stack of white paper in his hand, he walked toward the kitchen on his rabbit slippers.

Shiina Kiri followed her as usual, intending to watch her cooking.

Dinner, shower, and sleep on the sofa.

In fact, nothing happened when he left the girl for a day.

The night was still quiet, and the girl occupied his bed as she should.

Maybe, in the early hours of the morning, the kitten would sneak into the living room with his bare feet and a sad look on his face, and maybe he would lean down and kiss him gently.

Who knows.

……

Sunday breakfast was made by Shiina Kiri.

Since there are still two days left to get the capsule, there is no need to ask the girl to get up and make breakfast.

It's okay once, but if it happens more times, it will look deliberate.

After breakfast, he watched the girl start packing her luggage.

In fact, she just put her clothes in the closet into the suitcase. Most of the clothes in the closet were folded summer clothes, which he bought.

He missed this kitten so much that he wished he could buy many beautiful dresses for her to wear.

In fact, there are many light novels and comic books, but those are too heavy and cannot be taken away.

After packing her luggage, Shiina Kiri picked up her suitcase, left the rental house with her, and walked towards the bus stop.

There was a woman standing at the door of Tokyo Station early. She looked exactly like Oto Asakura. She was well-dressed and very beautiful.

"Aunt Nakano, good morning."

Shiina Kiri greeted politely.

"Good morning, Xiaowu, Yin."

Shiina Kiri really disagreed with this woman's easily attracted character, but it was funny, if it hadn't been for that incident, the girl wouldn't have run away from home, and he wouldn't have met her.

Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other?Or maybe misfortunes depend on each other.

Misfortunes depend on each other...

"What are you laughing at?" Asakura Yin frowned.

It was obviously the day of separation, but he still smiled?

Is he expecting her to leave?Asakura Yin actually had the urge not to leave.

"No." Shiina Kiri assured that she didn't laugh just now.

How could it not be that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other?
He will take good care of her as a kitten for the rest of his life. He really likes her.

Because Nakano Megumi was beside him, Asakura Yin did not continue to ask questions.

"Aunt Nakano, let's go buy tickets."

There are many Shinkansen trains, so there is no need to book tickets in advance.

"Okay, let's go, Yin."

The three of them walked towards the station.
