Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

Chapter 76 As long as you say it, I am willing to believe it (Part )

When the golden sunset passes over the city skyline and shines through the window onto the tatami, time has come to sunset.

Watanabe Yu, who was sitting on the tatami of the Hamabe family, raised his eyes and looked towards the kitchen.

A slender and tall figure wearing an apron was processing beef on the chopping board.

The kitchen knife was as easy to use as her arm.

There was a constant sound of tapping.

From his perspective, he could clearly see her clothes.

Ryoko Hamabe dresses simply at home.

The upper body is a solid color short-sleeved shirt, and the lower body is knee-length shorts of the same color.

only……

The scenery further down is indeed more eye-catching.

The sunset glow that came into the room quietly crossed the tatami and climbed up her little feet.

The round toes without nail polish add a bit of silky texture under the sunlight.

"are you hungry?"

As if she noticed Watanabe Yu's gaze, Hamabe Ryoko stopped what she was doing, tilted her eyebrows and asked a question.

"……No."

He almost thought Hamabe Ryoko was making a double entendre.

"Dinner will be served in half an hour."

Ryoko Hamabe turned her gaze back to the chopping board, lowered her head and continued cutting the beef.

This is the last ingredient she will deal with today.

"Come to think of it, Watanabe, do you still remember what you said to me that day?"

A strand of black hair fell quietly in front of her forehead, blocking part of her vision.

"When?"

"It was... the day when it rained particularly hard."

Ryoko Hamabe raised the back of her hand and pushed the strand of black hair aside.

"Oh."

Watanabe Yuu reacted immediately.

That little episode left a very deep impression on him.

"Anyway, I'm just waiting to eat the ready-made food today."

He smiled.

Do you understand the family status of Sichuan and Chongqing men? !

Open your eyes and see the world.jpg
"Yes, just wait patiently."

She nodded.

In fact, when grandma brought Watanabe Yu over, she felt a little uneasy and nervous.

Yes, she doesn't mind being alone with Watanabe Yu.

Even enjoyed being with him.

But being alone in this situation would inevitably make her start to have unreasonable associations.

——Perhaps the scene will be like this in the future.

"Speaking of which, did today's discharge procedures go smoothly?"

Watanabe Yu shifted his gaze and brought up a new topic.

"…It went pretty smoothly. I didn't encounter any headaches."

Hamabe Ryoko's hands paused slightly as she thought about what happened today.

Today's discharge process went much faster than she expected.

I have never encountered any quarrels like before.

The hospital processed the refund very quickly.

It was so smooth that she was dumbfounded.

"Did the surgeon give any instructions? For example, how should I recuperate after being discharged from the hospital, how should I arrange my life, etc."

Watanabe Yu had a very good impression of the surgeon in charge.

Firstly, the surgeon was very humorous and could easily bring us closer through conversation.

Secondly, he had talked with the surgeon several times in private and they had a close relationship.

"I told you."

Ryoko Hamabe put down the kitchen knife, turned on the tap to wash her hands, and then put the processed beef into a plate for later use.

"The doctor said that grandma can't do heavy physical work in the next six months."

She turned off the faucet, dried her hands, and walked towards Watanabe Yu.

"She needs to pay a little more attention to her diet. The doctor specifically told her that she needs to maintain a good mood, get enough sleep, and do proper physical exercise. In five months at the fastest and seven months at the slowest, her body will be back to normal."

Hamabe Ryoko sat next to Watanabe Yuu.

"The total cost of this hospitalization is 2 yen. After deducting the living expenses for grandma to return home, I borrowed a total of 186 yen from you."

She turned sideways, took a file bag and handed it to Watanabe Yu.

Inside was the bank card he gave her that day, her own account book, and receipts from the hospital.

"The bank card you gave me originally had 1 yen in it, but now there is 415 yen left. Where and how it was used is clearly written in the little account book. Watanabe, you can take a look."

She kept a clear record of every expenditure.

——When was the money used and where was it used?

“…Actually, there’s no need for this.”

"Is necessary!"

"……All right."

Watanabe Yu took the file bag.

Under Ryoko Hamabe's expectant gaze, he was forced to take out the account book and glance at the contents.

Just as she said.

The time and purpose of the money are clearly written.

Just by looking at the words in the account book, he felt as if he was peeking into her life through this account book.

"You lent me money because you trusted me. I cannot betray your trust."

As if by magic, she took out a piece of A4 paper from the side and handed it to him.

"This is an IOU. I have stamped it with my personal seal."

The contents on the page are clear and understandable at a glance.

From the amount of the loan to the estimated time to pay it back, everything is clearly written on it.

She even deliberately marked the minimum monthly repayment amount.

"Hamabe, there's absolutely no need for you to be so anxious."

His purpose of borrowing money has never changed from beginning to end.

He just didn't want to see the old lady who had helped him lose her health.

"I said, under the premise that it does not affect your and grandma's normal life, let's discuss the repayment."

If this loan becomes a shackle that binds Hamabe Ryoko, then it would be putting the cart before the horse.

"I don't want you to need money and just need me." She met his gaze without avoiding.

She knew that his financial situation might be much better than she thought.

But this was not a reason for her to feel at ease postponing the repayment of the money, or even to wait until she had the money to pay him back.

“…Do you know Norwegian Wood?”

Watanabe Yu could never have imagined it.

It was at this time that he took the initiative to mention this book.

"I know. That novel is very popular right now."

Ryoko Hamabe nodded, took the IOU that Watanabe Yuu did not take, put it on the small square table and placed it in front of him.

"When I was accompanying my grandma in the hospital, I borrowed this book from the reading area. It is really well written."

She likes the text of Norwegian Wood very much.

“That’s my book.”

"…your book!??"

"Yes, my book."

"Well, Mr. Watanabe, can you sign an autograph for me? By the way, are the books about your real experiences? I mean the two characters Midori and Naoko."

There was a hint of excitement and curiosity in her eyes.

"No, you don't have any doubts at all? For example, whether I am bragging or not."

Watanabe Yu suddenly felt a little weird.

"Why should I doubt you?"

Hamabe Ryoko looked like she was asking, "What are you talking about?"

"I know what kind of person you are."

She paused, and her voice became softer.

"Better know you won't blow jokes on such matters."

This is what she means.

"Or, even if it's a joke, so what?"

She blinked.

In the setting sun, those bright and beautiful eyes were dyed with a layer of gold powder.

“…That’s not my real experience.”

Watanabe Yu sighed and chose to answer the question honestly.

"Ah."

"Anyway, the reason I told you this is so that you don't have to worry. What you should do now is to live your life well and take good care of grandma."

He said this very seriously.

"After that, it's a matter of paying back the money."

"This won't work, Watanabe."

She shook her head, denying his statement.

"No, you are more stubborn than me."

He prides himself on being stubborn enough.

But who would have thought that she was even more exaggerated than him.

"Because I don't want to owe you too much. I want to be friends with you, not just a relationship of creditor and debtor."

Only in this way can I convince myself and take a further step with peace of mind.

Hamabe Ryoko bit her thin lips.

I said the second half of the sentence silently in my heart.

"We have been friends for a long time."

He was convinced.

"Also, are you free this Saturday?"

He took a deep breath.

It's appropriate to take advantage of this opportunity to mention the invitation.

"Is there something wrong?"

Hamabe Ryoko tilted her head.

"A friend in my class is having a birthday, and he kindly invited me, Kiriyama Kazuma, and Hayakawa Yuki."

He considered his words.

"Didn't you come to deliver lunch boxes to the class last time? The friend who was having his birthday asked about our relationship out of curiosity."

In a sense, it is quite difficult to understand this matter.

"After she found out we were neighbors, she wanted to meet you. Let's just say she admired you."

He added a more appropriate description.

"You mean, she wants to invite me to her birthday party?"

Ryoko Hamabe understood what Watanabe Yu meant.

"correct."

He nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"Well, I have a question."

"But it doesn't matter."

"The beautiful girl with blonde hair that I saw when I went to your classroom that day, was that Yuki Hayakawa?"

Her voice is still natural.

But there was a barely perceptible hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"correct."

"So, Watanabe, do you want me to go?"

In the reflection of the setting sun, her face had a somewhat unreal, hazy beauty.

"It's up to you. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, I'll help you refuse. It won't affect you."

He didn't want his thoughts to affect her.

“Are they on good terms with you?”

she asked again.

"Ah."

"Then I will go."

She answered in the affirmative.

Click.

There was a sound of the door opening, and my grandmother, who had gone out to buy seasoning, seemed to have returned on time.
