Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 25 Lively Winter Solstice 1
"Aqiu! Who is scolding me?" In Yamanakako Village, Ryukawa Toru, who was sitting in front of the dining table, sneezed.

There was a pumpkin dish in front of him, Mrs. Takeda was sitting on one side, and Takeda Akane was still sitting opposite him.

"How disgusting." Seeing Ryukawa Toru rubbing his nose, Miss Takeda frowned and made a disgusted expression.

"It's already a great mercy from your mother to let you sit at the table to eat, but you actually acted so rudely."

Because of what happened just now, Takeda Akane's anger towards Ryukawa Toru soared. In what should have been a harmonious dining scene during the holidays, she still criticized Ryukawa Toru without reservation.

"I'm just a commoner and I'm sorry for my rude behavior."

Sitting at the table, Longchuan Tetsu's expression was very honest, just like before.
"Can you please take your hand off my leg!" Mrs. Takeda said with a dark face when her daughter lowered her head to speak.

"Didn't you say that because your daughter bullied me, I can bully you?" Ryukawa Toru pinched Mrs. Takeda's thigh.

Women like to wear jeans.

The sky blue Lyocell fiber fabric is soft and comfortable. When you put your hand on it, you can feel the skin temperature transmitted from inside.

It looked like a winter solstice meal, but in reality it was fine fine food. After rubbing with the fingertips, one could see a pinkish glow on the wife's delicate skin. Ryukawa Tetsu felt that Takeda Akane should say a few more words to this vicious little mouth of hers.

"I'm done." After eating his wife's tofu and the pumpkin dish, Ryukawa Tetsu stood up from the table.
The winter solstice in Japan is also called "the return of the sun", which means the arrival of spring and the beginning of the new year. On this day, people eat pumpkin to pray for blessings and take grapefruit baths to ward off disasters. This morning, Ryukawa Toru didn't want to take a bath, he planned to go out for a walk.

"Hey, stay outside today and don't come back."

Seeing Ryukawa Toru was about to go out, Takeda Akane took a tissue and wiped her mouth, then spoke.

The girl just went upstairs and changed into a cashmere sweater with small lace, and wore a pair of black velvet pants on the lower body. She was dressed very Western, like a fashionable actress on TV.

Longchuan Che turned around and looked at her.

"why?"

"If I tell you not to come back, then don't come back. Why are you saying so much?"

Longchuan Che actually knew the reason. It was simply that he felt he was not presentable enough and was afraid that he would embarrass her when her teacher came to his house later.

Looking at his wife who looked like she wanted to die, he realized that the more his daughter behaved in a disorderly manner, the more suffering his wife would suffer.

"it is good."

Longchuan Che smiled, went to the living room to pick up the half-made brush he had made, picked up the sea bream from the courtyard and went out.

The sea bream is common flathead sea bream produced in Hokkaido. It is not expensive, but it is no problem to use it as a gift to others in a small mountain village.

In the morning, his friend came to visit but was turned away. In the afternoon, Longchuan Che planned to go to the house opposite to play and see if the little girl was still crying.

When I packed up and was about to go out, I heard a knock on the door in the courtyard. Longchuan Che was stunned when he went forward to open the door.

"You are Matsueda-san?"

There were three people standing at the door of Longchuan's house, two of them were middle-aged men in suits, and one was Matsueda Muko, who had been seen near Lake Kawaguchi a week ago.

The girl was wearing a white sleeveless cotton coat and a bright red scarf around her neck. Her eyes lit up when she saw Longchuan Che.

"The escaped Ryukawa-kun?"

The girl's tone was somewhat high-spirited, and her expression of surprise did not seem fake, but like a furnace of warm coal.

What the hell is running away, what the hell is Longchuan Jun. Longchuan Toru complained in his heart, and then looked next to the girl.

"This is?"

The two men behind the girl were wearing standard suits with neatly tied ties. They were bending over and wiping the mud off their leather shoes with tissues.

"This is a teacher from our Yamanashi Academy. We are here to look for Takeda-san. Does she live here?"

The girl leaned her head behind Ryukawa Tetsu. She was a little surprised that Takeda's family background was ordinary, but there was no expression of disgust on her face.

"This road is so difficult to walk on. Is this place really habitable?" Behind the girl, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle, a greasy face, and small eyes said with a smack of his lips.

He casually threw the tissue at the door of Longchuan Che's house and glanced at the boy with some contempt.

"This is Teacher Tanaka." Matsueda Muko looked a little embarrassed. Yamanashi Academy was a semi-aristocratic school with many rich people. The teachers usually interacted with some wealthy people, and there was a bit of arrogance in their words.

Ryukawa Toru ignored this teacher who might be supervised by Takeda Akane, and nodded to Matsueda Muko.

"She lives here."

He pointed to the door behind him, without saying that this was the Takeda family, and then led Taiyu to the house diagonally opposite.

"These farmers are so rude." The teacher who was called Tanaka by Matsueda Muko saw that Ryukawa Toru basically ignored him, and said with a little dissatisfaction with his lips curled.

These teachers go to each family for face-to-face talks about students' further studies, and they generally treat them with respect. They have never seen anyone like Longchuan Che who treats them as if they were air.

In Japan, "farmer" means country person and has a somewhat insulting connotation. Matsueda Muko frowned. She wanted to say something, but the other party was her teacher after all.

"Tanaka-sensei, Yoshimura-sensei, I have things to do at home, so I will just take you here."

Matsueda Muko bowed to the two teachers. She was the one who led the way because the two teachers were not familiar with the location of Yamanakako Village. Now that the way was found, she was ready to leave.

"Aren't you going in together?" The teacher named Yoshimura was stunned. "I remember that you had a good relationship with Takeda."

The girl had just said on the way here that she hadn't seen Takeda Akane for a long time, and now she was ready to leave.

"Takeda, I'll make an appointment next time." The girl smiled and waved her hand. Yoshimura glanced at the simple courtyard behind him and knew what was going on.

Adolescent boys and girls are all very concerned about their reputation. It’s okay for me as a teacher to see such a scene, but for people of the same age.

'It will be awkward for Takeda Akane if the two meet.'

Somewhat impressed by the delicate thoughts of this carefree girl, Yoshimura Shun nodded.

"Go ahead, go back slowly."

"Alright, alright, Matsueda-san, go back quickly. Mrs. Takeda is still waiting for us."

Tanaka Koizumi interrupted his companion's chatter and shouted a few words into the courtyard.

The bald middle-aged man's tone was a little anxious, and Yoshimura and Matsueda Muko looked at each other helplessly.

It was no secret in Yamanashi Gakuin that Mr. Tanaka liked the beautiful Mrs. Takeda. As Takeda Akane's class teacher, he once publicly expressed his desire to pursue her, but Mrs. Takeda never seemed to pay any attention to him.

"Please be more restrained later." Thinking that his colleague always acted like a peacock with its tail spread out in front of that lady, Yoshimura Shunichi covered his face.
