Chapter 231 Taking Ezaki Suguha Away Sawayama Haruno swiped the screen without thinking and saw the content of the message. There were only a few very brief words. First, the other party stated his identity, and then the purpose of looking for him. ——It was an email from Naoto Ezaki. "Can we visit Grandfather this afternoon?" Looking at the content of the text message, Sawayama Haruno's eyes moved slightly. It's been several days since I returned to Tokyo, and I finally have some information. If Naoto Ezaki doesn't contact him again, he plans to take the initiative to find him. After all, the matter of Suguha Ezaki is right here, not to mention the newly triggered system task that makes him a little distracted. Instead of just passively waiting for things to happen, it is better to find a way to seize the opportunity. "Ask me what time I'm free this afternoon." Sawayama Haruno pondered for a while and sent the other party a time when get out of class ended at noon.
Naoto Ezaki's speed in replying to text messages was equally frightening. As soon as he sent the message, the email jumped to the receiving page. It was estimated that the other party had been waiting. After the two chatted for a few sentences, they quickly decided on the specific time. At noon, Naoto Ezaki would drive to Meguro District to pick him up, and then they would go to the mansion where Ezaki's grandfather was currently staying. "Fortunately, I'm wearing something more formal today." Sawayama Haruno looked down at the clothes he was wearing and couldn't help but feel a little relieved. When he went out this morning, he thought that since he had taken such a long leave before, he should appear more serious today, so he changed into a more casual suit. Although casual suits may seem informal and inappropriate in certain more upscale occasions. But perhaps it was just right for his visit this time. He was visiting the other party for some "family matters and personal affairs". If he dressed too formally and like a businessman, it would seem strange, right? I just don't know what my grandfather will think of me when the time comes. According to what Zhiye said, he should also know who I am. Sawayama Haruno glanced at his palm, thoughtful. He had been learning kendo knowledge that night, but he had never put it into practice so far and didn't know whether he had mastered it. However, the visit is scheduled for the afternoon, and there is no point in worrying about it now. I might as well trust the system reward. After all, the effects of the previous few times were very scary, and this time should be no exception. Sawayama Haruno clenched his fists lightly, and after "rehearsing" what would happen in the afternoon in his mind, he quickly stopped letting himself get nervous and instead concentrated back on the class. In this way, the whole morning was spent in Sawayama Haruno's rare lectures. At noon, I had a meal in the school cafeteria, went back to school for another class, and then it was the time I had agreed to meet with Esaki Naoto. The University of Tokyo, outside the Komaba campus. A somewhat low-key black sedan was parked not far from the school gate. Naoto Esaki did not stay in the car, but stood at the smoking area next to the public toilet, puffing away while waiting for the person he had agreed to meet to come out. There are probably five or six minutes left, he judged in his heart. Sawayama Haruno never told him the exact time when the get out of class ended, but only gave him a rough estimate. However, for Naoto Ezaki, it was not difficult to guess the time when the get out of class ended, because he was also a student of this school. He thought that he was really young and promising.
At his age, Haruno Sawayama had accomplished much more than he did. Although both of them are students of the University of Tokyo, Naoto Esaki has received a truly elite education since childhood, while Haruno Sawayama is just an ordinary person from a well-off middle-class family. Therefore, Naoto Ezaki feels that it is really amazing that Sawayama Haruno, who does not have those "resources", can reach this point today. After all, the University of Tokyo is the number one university in the island country and has a considerable status in Asia and the world. It is understandable that those who can come in are the future stars of the island country. What’s even more rare is that this guy also wrote a book based on his talent. "A man of letters?" Naoto Ezaki took a deep puff of his cigarette. As the white mist drifted away, his expression gradually became calm. He had already taken Sawayama Haruno's unreleased new book from the Ishizawa family. After reading it, he naturally understood what kind of literary monster the other party was. Although it is still unclear how things will develop, based on his previous understanding of his grandfather, he will definitely be satisfied from the bottom of his heart as long as he meets Sawayama Haruno. In this way, Suguha Ezaki can be with the other party as she wishes; and other members of the family will have no other weapons to deal with her. Cooperation between the East and West Chambers of Commerce, election campaigns for members of parliament, and integration of family businesses. No one will be his opponent anymore. While thinking this, Naoto Esaki noticed that the other party had already come out of the school gate. It might be the peak time for classes to end, and there are many boys and girls walking out with Sawayama Haruno, but because Naoto Ezaki has a very deep impression of him, he can only see him at a glance. "Ezaki-senpai." The other party, as usual, walked up to him and greeted him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. Naoto Ezaki quickly smiled and said, "I told you that, didn't I?" "Don't call me so strangely, just call me Naoto." "Naoto-senpai." Sawayama Haruno responded calmly. He actually didn't want to be so polite. After all, he was a relatively easy-going person, but the Japanese were too particular about the way they addressed others. If the relationship between Naoto Ezaki and I was just a simple one, then there would be no problem in just calling him Naoto. The bad thing is that Ezaki Suguha has always addressed Naoto as "brother", a respectful term, and now Sawayama Haruno has to add the word "senior" to his address as well. Fortunately, Naoto Esaki seemed to be aware of this problem. After shrugged to show that he didn't mind, he took Sawayama Haruno into the car. "It's a nice day today." After Naoto Ezaki started the black car, he began to ask casually, "Suguha was with you the other day, right?" "Well, we played with friends last night." “My friend, that’s great.” As he turned the steering wheel, Naoto Esaki added, "Apart from Shiori, Suguha doesn't really have many friends. It's great that you can help her integrate into a new social circle." "Suguha has changed a lot now, so I don't need to worry too much about this kind of thing." Sawayama Haruno said seriously.
After being with him, Suguha Ezaki has indeed changed a lot. It also happens to prove the saying that love can make a person no longer be the same as before. However, Sawayama Haruno feels that whether it is the previous Suguha Ezaki or the current Suguha Ezaki, they are already very good. If possible, he would actually prefer the other person to be more carefree like Maki Miyazawa. After all, the shadow of her past family has always put a lot of pressure on Ezaki Suguha. Sometimes she doesn't say it, but Sawayama Haruno can vaguely sense the existence of that thing. The influence of the original family on children is huge. Some people use their childhood to heal their entire life, while others need a lifetime to heal their childhood. "You don't look too nervous." Naoto Ezaki had already driven the car onto the highway. After glancing at Haruno Sawayama, he chuckled and said, "This is a good mentality." “Should I be nervous?” Sawayama Haruno adjusted his sitting position and said with a smile: "I was a little nervous before, but now I should say I am more confident." No matter what happened, he would take Suguha away from there, he added in his heart. "It's a good thing to have such momentum. Grandfather doesn't like those nagging people." Naoto Ezaki changed lanes and said with a hint of emotion: "After all, he is a man who crawled out of those storms." "If you keep being hesitant and timid, I will regret bringing you to see your grandfather." "is it?" Sawayama Haruno stroked his chin and asked tentatively, "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?" "Gone." Naoto Ezaki said straightforwardly, "Because of what happened in Kyoto, many people in the Ezaki family already know about you, and your grandfather must have obtained your information a long time ago, so you don't need to prepare anything specifically, just face it naturally." "If Grandfather wants to help you and Suguha, he will agree without you saying anything. If he doesn't want to, he won't agree no matter how much you say or do." This is the kind of person. Sawayama Haruno pondered for a moment. According to what Naoto Ezaki said, this visit seemed to be very simple. It just depended on whether his grandfather was satisfied with him or not. But if you look at the information in the system tasks, it doesn't seem to be that simple. The mission mentioned that the conflicts within the Ezaki family were further expanding, and this most likely refers to Naoto and other members of the Ezaki family. The last sentence in the system task told him that many forces would make demands on him. Judging from this, there should be other incidents during this visit. Even if Suguha Ezaki's mother and uncles did not show up, her grandfather would probably have different requirements for her. "A request?" Zeshan Haru thought silently in his ambition.
Having requests is not necessarily a bad thing. A smart person like the other party would not make a request that he or she cannot possibly fulfill, as in the plots in the melodramatic TV dramas. Since I have the opportunity to do it, that's a good thing. Because as long as he fulfilled this request, he could take Ezaki Suguha away openly. (End of this chapter)
