Chapter 212: Resentful Little Eyes [asking for monthly ticket] At seven o'clock in the evening, Sawayama Haruno walked out of the bedroom. After turning his head to look at the girl who was still sleeping soundly in the room, he touched his chin guiltily. Um. I can’t blame myself for this, right? After all, it was Maki Miyazawa who started it, and he was just fulfilling his "responsibilities" as a boyfriend. It seems that I have overdone it accidentally. Compared to the physically stronger Ezaki Suguha, Miyazawa Maki seems to be much more vulnerable in this matter. She should be more careful next time. "Meow~" There was a sound of a cat acting coquettishly at my feet. Sawayama Haruno looked down and found that it was the salmon ball that he had neglected since returning home.
The other party was staring at him with a somewhat resentful look in its eyes. It was obviously a cat, but it seemed to understand human nature inexplicably. Even if one did not understand its language, one could understand its dissatisfaction. "hungry?" Sawayama Haruno squatted down and touched the salmon ball. "I'll get you some food later," he comforted her. After I got home, I actually forgot to prepare cat food for Salmon Maru. He has been sticking to Miyazawa Maki in the room since around 1:00 . and has only just come out now. I guess the little guy must be very hungry. Under the repeated urging of Salmon Maru, Sawayama Haruno first changed the water for the cat, then added a large amount of cat litter, and took out cat snacks and placed them aside as compensation. Only then did it calm down. Looking at the white cat eating heartily, Sawayama Haruno stretched lazily while sitting on the sofa. After finishing the business trip in Kyoto, I couldn't help feeling a little tired. Logically, I should have rested for a few days, but the time left didn't allow for that. I have to go to Kodansha to sign the latest contract tomorrow, and then I have to rush back to school to prepare for classes the day after tomorrow. I also have to prepare for taking leave to go abroad later, and this does not even take into account when I will deal with the issues of the Ezaki family. Naoto Ezaki only said that he would take me to visit the grandfather of the Ezaki family when he had time, but he did not say a specific time. Sawayama Haruno planned that after he finished other things in the next few days, if the other party had not contacted him yet, he would take the initiative to ask for Ezaki Suguha's contact information and call her to ask. "Things are happening one after another, but it feels good to be fulfilled." Sawayama Haruno was lying on the sofa and couldn't help but sigh. He was about to turn on the TV and relax, but his fingers stopped the moment they touched the remote control. The familiar subtitles jumped again. It still appeared without any warning, but it also brought a lot of information. [After returning to Tokyo from Kyoto, the suppressed emotions in Ezaki Suguha's heart were released. You successfully prevented a crisis from happening. Although you haven't realized that something is quietly changing, the current situation is already the most powerful development.] [You and Naoto Ezaki reached a consensus and decided to find a time to visit the grandfather of the Ezaki family together, but you did not expect that the troubles of the Ezaki family would continue to expand.] [Your intuition tells you that this is not a simple muddy water. You need to carefully consider the choice you are about to make under the requirements of various forces (reward 5 yen)]
"It's a monetary reward again, and you're still so stingy." Sawayama Haruno rubbed his brows and talked to himself. But since this new task has been selected, it means that Suguha Ezaki's previous task has been completed, right? It is a good thing that nothing will happen to the other party again, but looking at this new mission, it seems that the problems within the Ezaki family are more difficult than he imagined. It's really troublesome. Sawayama Haruno became a little depressed. He knew that things involving such a big family or group wouldn't be that simple. But there is no way for me to just leave it alone, I can only take it one step at a time. Fortunately, the system tasks still give me some hints. The first is "something has changed quietly", which probably refers to the relationship between the girls around him. After all, Suguha Esaki is with him now, and Maki Miyazawa has discovered some clues before, but has not said it clearly. This is something I have to deal with myself, so it doesn't matter if I'm reminded of it by the system task. The key point is the last sentence "demands from multiple forces". Combined with the second and third sentences of the system, this is most likely what will happen when I follow Naoto Ezaki to find my grandfather. "You're not going to give me that cliché drama of 'five million and leaving Suguha', are you?" Sawayama Haruno looked up at the bright living room light and murmured. If that's the case, then the problem can be solved more easily. Let alone five million, I wouldn’t even consider fifty million or five hundred million. However, this possibility should not be very high. The people in the Ezaki family must have investigated me in advance, and they probably guessed that I would not choose to leave Suguha because of such a thing. If that's the case, the other party's request will only give him more headaches. "Brother-in-law, you have to give me some help. I'm still waiting for you to take over so that I can take Suguha away quickly." Sawayama Haruno thought with a smile on his face. Of course, it is definitely not realistic to rely entirely on my eldest brother-in-law, but fortunately, I now have the identity of a scholar. According to what my eldest brother-in-law said to Zhiye, my grandfather should not look down on me too much, right? Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno's eyes moved slightly. As if he remembered something, he took out his cell phone after hesitating for a moment. After opening the YOUTUBE video website, he thought about it and casually typed the name of the Yulongqi competition on it. After less than a moment of search and loading, a large number of videos about kendo competitions jumped out. That's right, he planned to try out his new system reward. After completing each task, there will be no prompt for receiving rewards, but for some rewards that are very obvious, you can feel them even without a prompt. The only thing is that the rewards inside the body are hard to feel. After completing the task with Suguha Ezaki, he received a reward from the system for "improved learning ability", but he had no idea how to improve it. So Sawayama Haruno planned to watch kendo competition videos to see if he could meet the conditions to activate and use this reward. If feasible, he only needs to watch the game videos to quickly master the basics and techniques of kendo, and with the help of "skill improvement", he can quickly complete the second transformation and become a leader. By then, with the blessing of being a literary giant and the label of a kendo master, he might be more likely to suit the taste of the grandfather of the Ezaki family. For the sake of his beloved woman, Sawayama Haruno doesn't care even if the process is a little troublesome. What's more, he is still in a cheating state. "No this year?"
"Last year's, eh, the women's group?" Sawayama Haruno's fingers paused as he kept clicking. After seeing the words "Women's Group", he clicked on it for some unknown reason. "I have to learn it anyway, so I might as well take a look at the women's group," he comforted himself. Well, I definitely didn’t click on the women’s group video just to see if Suguha Ezaki would appear. The video is quite long, nearly an hour. The shooting angles were multi-camera, and it looked a bit like the official filming of the competition was then reposted by someone, the picture is very clear and some details can be seen. Haruno Sawayama did not deliberately skip certain parts, but chose to watch it from the beginning. But after the first competition was over, he frowned subconsciously and realized that something was wrong. A bit slow. It felt like it could be even faster. For him, who had gained various enhancements, it seemed that watching the video at normal speed was a bit too easy. After thinking for a moment, Sawayama Haruno downloaded the video and then started watching it at double speed. He didn't feel anything when he first watched it, and he seemed to be able to watch it at a comfortable speed. But soon, his brain seemed to tell him that this speed was no longer enough, so he adjusted the speed to times. Then it's triple speed. The speed cannot be increased after triple speed, but it does not seem to affect Sawayama Haruno from continuing to watch. Since there was no actual practice and no clear prompts, Sawayama Haruno was a little unsure whether he had learned anything about kendo by watching the video. However, since he could continue watching at such a fast speed and could still see the players' movements clearly, he simply stopped thinking about it and concentrated on the video. As time passed quickly, he finished watching the one-hour video in less than 20 minutes, and then downloaded the men's competition. After watching the men's competition, he started downloading other kendo competitions. Not only does he download videos of kendo competitions, he also takes advantage of the downloading time to read some text explanations. In this way, he was still immersed in watching the video until after ten o'clock in the evening, when a sleepy short-haired girl came out of the room. "Hmm~" Maki Miyazawa pushed open the door while yawning. She took a few steps and turned around to see Haruno Sawayama lying on the sofa and looking at his phone. Salmon Maru had already jumped onto the counter next to the TV at some point, and was staring at Sawayama Haruno on the sofa with trembling eyes. The girl, who seemed a little dazed from sleep, scratched her messy hair, as if she didn't understand what the two of them were doing. Just as she was about to go up and pick up Salmon Ball, the cute kitten screamed and slipped off the counter, running into the room she had just come out of without looking back. really weird. Maki Miyazawa simply gave up any unnecessary thoughts, ran barefoot to the sofa and started acting coquettishly. "What are you looking at? I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat at home?" "Ok?" Sawayama Haruno came back to his senses from a trance, looking at Miyazawa Maki who had come running over at some point, he was stunned for a moment before saying, "No." He was so engrossed in watching that he didn't notice the time at all. He even forgot that he hadn't eaten yet.
