Chapter 189 Traveling with the Twins Dinner was local Kyoto specialties brought by the bodyguards. Originally, he wanted to have dinner with Suguha Esaki and Shiori Mine, but after hearing that they both had gone to bed, Sawayama Haruno had to enjoy the meal alone in his room. As expected, the portion was extremely small and the taste was average. However, Sawayama Haruno had no intention of ordering another portion. After finishing his meal, he moved a chair and sat outside to rest. Although Ginkaku-ji Temple is surrounded by an ecological park, there are not many mosquitoes at night. The slightly blue and green night view of Kyoto is perfect for enjoying outside after dinner. At least Sawayama Haruno found this quite relaxing. This was probably the most relaxing evening since I came to Kyoto. He stretched himself, feeling somewhat comfortable, and after a while he took out his cell phone. There are only a few messages, which is a bit surprising.
After checking, I found out that it was because Miyazawa Maki was taken out for dinner by Sawayama Ako again. According to the current time, they had just started eating. No wonder she didn't call me on video today. Sawayama Haruno thought about it for a moment, then stepped out to look at the photos sent by others. Ayano Yui's was an ink painting of a simple manor landscape. Sawayama Haruno didn't know much about painting, so he couldn't tell her level or recognize what was in the painting. He just gave her a word of encouragement and continued reading. Miyazawa Mana actually sent him a few messages, which was rare. After a quick glance, Sawayama Haruno realized that it was Miyazawa's father who came back. Mana revealed a little bit of the content of their private conversation at home to her, and then sent her the photo of Sawayama Ako inviting her to dinner. 【Kiriyama: Have you eaten tonight? 】 The other party replied very quickly, and the unread message below became read almost instantly. The next thing that popped up was the other party’s reply. [Winnie: I've eaten. Is everything going well for Haruno in Kyoto recently? ] She also knew that Sawayama Haruno was going to participate in the competition. Some time ago, when Sawayama Haruno was preparing to go out for dinner with her, they happened to meet Ayano Yui, who had just moved to Tokyo and was wandering around. In order to prevent Ayano Yui from saying anything too harsh on Miyazawa Mana, he had revealed at that time that he was going to submit a novel and go to Kyoto to participate in a writing competition. [Kiriyama: It's going pretty well. The results of the first round of the preliminary round should be announced tomorrow morning. If nothing goes wrong, the final results will be announced on Tuesday, and I will probably be back on Wednesday.] 【Kiriyama: When I come back, will you like to have dinner together? 】 Inside the Miyazawa family home in Shinjuku District, Tokyo. The girl, whose hair was still slightly wet, couldn't help but be absent-minded for a moment after seeing the message sent by the other party. I don't know when the hair dryer in my hand fell down. "Haruno, invite me to dinner?" she murmured. If you ask me whether I want to go or not, of course I do.
But Maki is still there. Last time, Maki had already expressed that she would not accept me and would keep Haruno all to herself. Although I still feel a pang of heartache when I think about it now, as long as I see my sister and Haruno living happily, it should be enough for me. So, forget it. In a trance, Miyazawa Mana typed out the words of rejection, but her finger lingered on the sending page for a long time and she couldn't click on it. I am very shaken Just when she was feeling lost and alone, Sawayama Haruno sent her another message at the right moment. [Kiriyama: Mana, are you free in September? ] Ok? What does it mean to have time in September? Miyazawa Mana stared at her phone in a daze. After hesitating for a moment, she carefully deleted all the previous rejection words and re-edited a new one. 【Winnie: September? Why are you asking this?】 【Kiriyama: Do you want to go out for a training camp together? 】 【Winnie: Eh? ! 】 When she saw this message, Miyazawa Mana's eyes instantly became flustered. Go out and camp together? Or in this situation now? She didn't quite understand the other party's real intention. [Kiriyama: I want to help repair Maki's relationship with you, and her relationship with your aunt. Also, I mentioned going out for a training camp before.] 【Kiriyama: Today I came up with an idea. Maybe we can use the training camp to get everyone to sit down and have a good chat. This might solve a lot of problems. Even if it doesn't solve them, the relationship can be eased, right?】 【Winnie: No, I don’t understand. How can this be eased? 】 Miyazawa Mana bit her lip lightly. Can training together ease the relationship between them? How can it be? Besides, Maki would never agree to let me go with her. The other party must still want to go out alone with Haruno, right? Thinking of this, Miyazawa Mana couldn't help feeling a little lost, but then a series of messages sent to her by Sawayama Haruno made her stunned again. 【Kiriyama: Don't worry, I've figured out a solution】 [Kiriyama: Actually, the most difficult part is how to properly develop a multi-person camp. Regarding this part, I plan to choose a destination that is "far away"] Where is the farther place? Miyazawa Mana looked at her phone in confusion. The other party quickly gave a new explanation. [Kiriyama: Let’s go abroad directly, go to other places abroad together, and travel together] [Kiriyama: Since we are going abroad, we need documents such as a passport, but Maki's documents are still at home.]
[Kiriyama: Using this as an excuse, I can find an excuse to make you “have to” come along later.] That’s right, this is the plan that Sawayama Haruno came up with. Prepare to go to the training location in advance, and then pretend to mention it in front of Miyazawa Maki intentionally or unintentionally. Given the other person's personality, he or she will definitely be impatient and say something like "I'll go, I'll go right away." Then she said, "You can't go without your ID, and your ID is still at home." After that, Maki Miyazawa must be very depressed, but she will eventually find a way to get her passport and other documents back. By then, as long as this is used as an excuse, there will be a lot of excuses to bring Mana along. Of course, Maki would definitely strongly object at that time. However, as long as I make the task of "retrieving the passport" more difficult and keep her in suspense, once she can't stand it anymore, Maki will definitely not bother with such things. According to Sawayama Haruno's understanding of Maki, although the other party is reluctant, she will still accept it in order to be able to go abroad to travel as soon as possible. Um. After this, it will be much easier to mend the relationship between the twins. There will always be a few opportunities along the way, and even if it cannot be repaired, it is worthwhile to ease the situation a little. 【Winnie: Is this really okay?】 Miyazawa Mana was still a little worried. She felt that things would not go so smoothly. The most important thing is, Maki and Haruno are living well together now, why does he still want her? What if it fails? Miyazawa Mana pursed her lips, a little hesitant. 【Winnie: Can you please give me some thought? 】 [Kiriyama: Of course, I won’t go so soon anyway. It will take at least September to confirm.] 【Kiriyama: But I have decided where to go】 【Winnie: Eh? 】 【Winnie: Haruno, where do you want to go? 】 【Kiriyama: Macau】 Outside a courtyard at Ginkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto. Sawayama Haruno casually sent out the two words "Macau" and then fell into deep thought. Well, going to Macau seems to be the most convenient. First of all, it is close, and secondly, you don’t need any additional documents to go to Macau. There aren't many places worth visiting in Asia, and he's not interested in places like South Korea and Thailand. It's impossible for him to go to India or other small countries, right? From this perspective, my "old club" is actually pretty good, and Macau seems to have a lot of fun things. With Maki Miyazawa's personality, I guess I just need to go to her house and find a few Macau travel guide videos for her to watch, and she will immediately become excited.
Thinking of this, the corners of Sawayama Haruno's mouth curved up. I have to say, the other person's personality is actually quite good and easy to coax. She is the tsundere, spoiled, spoiled type. Unless you mention Miyazawa Mana in front of her. However, this time, with the camping trip as an inducement, it should be possible for the other party to be reluctant to bring Mana along. Just take it one step at a time. Sawayama Haruno sighed slightly and sent a few messages to Miyazawa Mana. After they all finished talking, Sawayama Haruno got up and prepared to go back to the house to get clothes and take a shower. But it was as if someone was deliberately delaying his actions. As soon as he stood up, his cell phone rang again. Sawayama Haruno looked down and saw that it was Morikawa Riho calling. At this point in time, could it be that... Sawayama Haruno's eyes moved slightly, and he picked up the phone without thinking. The environment on the other end seemed inexplicably noisy, but Morikawa Riho's slightly mature voice still came from the other end of the phone. "Congratulations, Kiriyama-sensei" Her tone was somewhat relieved, yet also somewhat amazed. Just by hearing her words, Sawayama Haruno knew what had happened. "It's OK. It's within my expectations." He smiled into the phone, "But I was still a little surprised that the results came out so quickly." "It's not just you. I didn't expect that either." Morikawa Riho paused for a moment and said meaningfully, "Originally, the results would not be announced so quickly, but this afternoon, someone from the Ishizawa family suddenly came over and took the manuscript away. That's why people from other groups had to work overtime to select the preliminary rankings." "Yeah." "All in all, I still want to congratulate you, because Norwegian Wood not only successfully passed the initial round, but also received a lot of praise from others." Morikawa Riho chuckled on the phone and said, "In the afternoon, quite a few people thought you were some great author who had created a new pseudonym to write a book, and they also asked me to help introduce you." "Excessive praise." Sawayama Haruno said modestly. Nonsense, don’t you even look at what book you took out? If you can't get up, that would be a problem. He is full of confidence in "Norwegian Wood". "By the way, I have another piece of good news for you. I just mentioned that the Ishizawa family came to help take away the manuscripts. Your manuscript is one of them." Morikawa Riho couldn't help but say a few more words. "Based on the current situation, the final ranking on Tuesday may be a little complicated. Even we can't determine which book will win. However, based on the current situation, it is very favorable for Mr. Kiriyama."
"favorable?" "Well, since the Ishizawa family took the manuscript in advance, it means they will read it more carefully. The books they find interesting to read will be somewhat different from the books recommended by others." Morikawa Riho smiled and said, "In short, Mr. Kiriyama's performance this time will definitely not be too bad. He will definitely be in the top five, so I would like to congratulate you here first. As for the question of recommendation, do you need me to decline it for you?" She had long seen that Sawayama Haruno was a person who hated trouble, so when other editors asked to meet him, Morikawa Riho always gave very ambiguous answers. The result was just as she expected. Sawayama Haruno quickly followed her instructions and did the job. "Thank you for your help, Ms. Morikawa." (End of this chapter)
