Comics, daily stories

Pursing his lips, Nomiyama chose not to believe it.

But his thoughts quickly turned to the other side.

Are you good at cooking fish dishes?

Yukinoshita's fish dishes are usually light in flavor, while Miyame's dishes are more delicately presented. I prefer a stronger flavor and am better at using stronger ingredients to remove the earthy smell of river fish. I don't know what Kato's dishes will taste like.

“It’s delicious.”

Kato Megumi glanced at him, then looked away and looked up at the Ferris wheel.

Nomiya's thoughts paused for a moment, and he looked at her strangely. How did he know what she was thinking?

Kato Megumi's voice remained calm: "I can make some tomorrow and bring it to school so that Fenghaya can taste it."

Nomiyama considered it for a moment, then reluctantly nodded: "Alright, I won't eat it if it tastes bad."

"Okay." Kato Megumi looked at him and agreed.

When you want to eat, just lick your mouth. Feng Zao is really easy to understand. It's much simpler than raising a cat.

......

The iron box had only risen halfway when most of the surrounding area had already fallen down.

Kato Megumi's gaze remained outside. The colorful neon lights had just lit up, and there were people walking in the amusement park below, but they seemed small. The steel and concrete in the distance still had a heavy feeling, piled up in piles, lifeless.

"It's windy, it feels like we came too early. If we came a little later, it would have been more beautiful." She couldn't help but say this.

Nomiya's eyes followed her, looking at the neon lights that were completely obscured by the setting sun.

It really doesn't look good.

So he reached out and pulled Kato's sleeve.

"Come over here."

Kato Megumi was slightly stunned, but still obeyed him and sat down.

Moving closer, Kato Megumi heard someone say next to her.

"Look at those clouds over there."

Kato Megumi raised her eyes and looked towards the horizon.

The sun was about to set, and large clouds were dazzling in the afterglow. They were dyed with fiery red, and every corner became clear. Because the viewing angle became higher, large residential areas fell under the clouds, and the world was cut into two parts, one was the vivid sunset, and the other was the dead city.

What is the meaning of the word "baby"?

"Fukahaya, so beautiful..."

Subconsciously, Kato Megumi was about to take out her cell phone to capture this moment.

Nomiyama watched her pull out her phone, propping up her cheek and looking outside. "It's useless. The beautiful scenes our eyes can see and the touching moments they can bring are impossible to record with a phone or camera, because they lack the vastness and vividness of seeing with one's own eyes."

Kato Megumi took out her phone, pressed the camera button, and expressed a different opinion: "Feng Zao is wrong."

"Ok?"

“Sometimes it’s not necessarily about replicating the beauty, but about recording the moment, reminding yourself of its beauty, and sharing it with others.”

"so."

Kato Megumi took several pictures, then thought for a moment, turned her head, and looked at him: "Fukahaya, smile."

Nomiyama was stunned: "Huh?"

Kato Megumi pressed the camera button in time to record the stunned moment, then put away her phone.

Taking photos together would seem inappropriate and would make people feel awkward, so just take photos of him, and he won't mind it given his personality.

Nomiyama watched the other person put away his phone with a serious expression.

"Kato, you've violated my portrait rights."

"Ah."

Kato Megumi looked at him curiously.

"I have to catch two more fish every day."

Kato Megumi started off by saying, "Kazehaya is really greedy."

"Please describe how I know how to make good use of known advantages."

"In other words, Fenghaya knows how to take advantage of opportunities."

"Kato."

"Ah."

"You speak so harshly."

"No, it's just that Fenghaya's greedy nature is too ugly."

Nomiyama accepted his greed for fish without changing his expression and turned his head to look outside the glass.

It was getting dark and the neon lights finally became beautiful in the night.

"Kazehaya."

"Ah."

Nomiyama looked at Kato who had returned to the opposite side.

"Do you think riding a Ferris wheel is fun?"

Kato's expression was calm, as if he was making a statement, but this time Nomiyama could definitely sense the tone of the question.

"Whether it's interesting or not, I don't really have any idea."

"That's it."

Kato Megumi looked around and found that the other iron boxes were already lower than herself.

In other words, right now, at this moment, this is already the highest point of the Ferris wheel.

Lowering her eyes, Kato Megumi said quietly, "Then I have to think about whether I should invite Kazehaya to ride the Ferris wheel with me in the future."

"..."

Why does this sound a bit unpleasant?

......

Mai Sakurajima watched the two people walk out of the Ferris wheel, and then passed by her filming location while talking.

Touching her arm, she felt a little uncomfortable.

That winter, the girl holding the roasted sweet potato was obviously a very good person.

Then she was gone. At school, she first had a scandal with her classmate Kasumigaoka, and then had a scandal with her junior Sawamura from the lower grade. Now, there is another cute girl by his side.

It was winter that year, but I still felt so warm seeing the two of them squatting on the street.

"That stinking scumbag...just knows how to trick people into riding the Ferris wheel."

Turning her head aside, Mai Sakurajima raised the script again.

......

Nomiyama exchanged glances with the famous senior, then looked away, somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Kato Megumi looked at him and asked.

"That Sakurajima-senpai has ill intentions towards me." Nomiya said with certainty.

"Are you so sure?"

"Because I'm bombarded with malicious comments from my classmates every day, I'm still very sensitive about this aspect."

As they talked, the two walked out of the playground and headed forward under the light of the street lights.

They passed by ramen restaurants, izakayas, rows of food stalls, and dark streets with only one street lamp.

Because no one else can touch the fishing rod, they have to go to the girl's house first.

This made Nomiyama feel a little scared. It was already night, and Kato's relatives must have returned. He didn't know how they would react when they saw a boy like him walking into the house so late at night.

As for visiting girls' homes, he had experience before. He had been to Eriri's house, but Sayuri-sister was unconventional, so she didn't need to be treated as a parent.

He had also been to Yukinoshita's house, but he had directly bypassed the gate, crossed the wall, and ran away from home with the other person.

So, although it seems experienced, it is actually the first time.

Kato Megumi glanced at him who was obviously thinking about something, and also lowered her head and remained silent.

She had to think about what to say when she got home, in front of her parents and sister. It was her first time to bring a boy home at night.

Time passes in each other's silence, and the distance gradually shortens with the sound of footsteps.

Until one moment, they turned a corner and met a man in front of a bookstore.

A middle-aged man.

The man looked to be in his forties. He was wearing a black jacket, which was very clean, but it was obvious that it was an old piece of clothing that had been worn for a long time.

He was carrying a bag, and naturally had the slight tiredness of a middle-aged man after get off work, as well as a barely perceptible smell of fish.

His face was clear under the street light, but his eyes seemed a little dark.

The man looked at the two people in front of him, thought for a moment, then turned sideways and rummaged in his bag.

He pulled out a kitchen knife with expert skill.

The kitchen knife was one foot long, with a straight blade and a sharp tip. Under the incandescent street light, the light kept flowing on the blade.

It is undoubtedly a good knife. It can easily cut through fish bones when killing fish, and it can easily pierce the human body when killing people.

Silently, Kato Megumi moved and stood in front of him.

Nomiya was slightly stunned when he saw the person standing in front of him.

Then he tilted his head, poked his head out from Kato's shoulder, looked at the acquaintance opposite him, and spoke seriously.

"Uncle, don't be like this. You're only in your forties and have a bright future ahead of you. There's no need to embark on a path of crime."

Chapter 6.5: Waiting for Yukinoshita-san to come back (k three-in-one)

Kato Megumi.

This name was chosen because life was difficult at the time, and her appearance was like a ray of morning light piercing the darkness, bringing new hope, expectations, and motivation.

I was still young at that time. Standing in the ward, holding the little girl in my arms, I felt from the bottom of my heart that this child was a blessing from God.

Everything that happened later proved that the name was just right.

Hui has been a quiet person since she was young. She rarely cries or makes a fuss since she can remember, so there is no need to worry about her being naughty. At that time, our family conditions were average, so we couldn't prepare too many toys and snacks for her, nor could we play with her much. Fortunately, she didn't mind and just stayed quiet.

Later, the family finally recovered and had some time and some spare money. When they wanted to compensate Hui, they found that Hui had grown up a lot.

She has become sensible and helps her mother with housework at home. She prepares her own lunch box every morning and also makes one for her sister.

It was only then that Kato Riku realized that he had missed too much of his little daughter's growth. Many times, he was even unable to pay attention to his little daughter at home.

She was too quiet and too sensible, so it seemed that he, as a father, was incompetent. He did nothing, but his daughter grew up through hard work.

So that day at the family dinner table, Kato Riku, feeling a little guilty and a little nervous, carefully asked about his little daughter's recent situation at school.

Hearing Hui say that she was having some troubles with her studies recently, he subconsciously thought of the two little kids who often came to the supermarket to buy fish.

Fuuhashi and Yukino, two equally precocious children, seemed to be far ahead of their peers in their studies.

But how could it suddenly become like this?

Seeing my little daughter subconsciously standing in front of the boy.

And the boy said, "Uncle, don't be like this. You are only in your forties and have a bright future ahead of you. There is no need to embark on a path of crime."

Kato Riku gripped the knife tighter.

My little darling is only fourteen years old. If you kidnap her now, the rest of my life will be visibly bleak.

With a forced smile, Kato Riku put the kitchen knife away and put it back into his bag. He felt around again and took out a tightly wrapped convenience bag containing two fish.
