Chapter 235 Return to Tokyo
"Reina, do you want to do it with your honey?"

"……do what?"

At first, Shimizu Reina didn't know what Amamiya Iori meant, so she tilted her head in confusion.

Three days had passed since Shimizumi left for Hokkaido, and for Amamiya Iori, it was very difficult to be patient during his absence.

Fortunately, Qingshuijian will be back soon.

Amamiya Iori originally planned to "heal" him personally, but now she is ready to let Shimizu Reina do it.

Because it is a necessary journey, Amamiya Iori still hopes that the girl in front of him who is deeply in love can feel the taste of Shimizu as much as possible.

But apart from the one time she visited the Shimizu family before, Shimizu Reina had almost no experience in this area.

So when Amemiya Iori made this proposal, he took a lot of effort to explain it to her.

As expected, after realizing what had happened, Rena Shimizu showed an extremely shy expression for a moment, her cheeks flushed with shock, but what was unexpected was that Rena Shimizu nodded without hesitation in the end.

At that time, Amamiya Iori was certain that Shimizu Rena was indeed one of their people.

However, after that, it depends on what Shimizumi thinks.

Because in his heart,
No matter what the answer is, Amamiya Iori cannot force it.

But if possible, Amamiya Iori wants to be happy with Shimizu Reina.

Amamiya Iori looked up at the night sky filled with bright fireworks and prayed like this.

"Reina, I really wish you could be my sister."

Amamiya Iori turned and looked at Shimizu Reina beside him.

"Yeah, I also want to be Iori-nee's little sister."

Without Qing Shuijian noticing, their relationship had unknowingly taken a step forward.

After enjoying the fireworks show, Amamiya Iori felt a little hungry, so she asked Shimizu Reina if they wanted to go somewhere to eat something.

"The fireworks festival is almost over, Reina, do you want to go eat something?"

"Ah... well, I want to eat Chinese food, because I don't usually go there..."

"Okay, let's go."

"Ah."

……

……

The next morning.

When Shimizu woke up from bed, he saw Sakurai Haruka squatting on the bedroom floor packing the luggage in the suitcase.

"See, you're awake, good morning."

Hearing the noise on the bed, Sakurai Haruka immediately stopped what she was doing and turned around.

"Well, morning..."

Since the two of them went to the fireworks festival venue to watch the fireworks last night, they were exhausted when they returned to the hotel and went to bed early without doing anything.

At this time, Sakurai Haruka was packing their suitcases.

Because this afternoon, the two planned to take the Shinkansen back to Tokyo.

There were still several days left in the hotel that Sakurai Shio had booked, but Shimizu Mi was still planning to go back early. After all, when they came, she and Hoshino Akiko told Amemiya Iori and the others that they would only be away for three days. If they stayed a few more days, it would inevitably make them worry.

But Sakurai Haruka felt that as long as she was with Shimizu Mi, it didn't matter, so after discussing with her, they decided to go back to Tokyo today.

"It feels like you've suddenly become more virtuous than before."

Shimizu was silently watching Sakurai Haruka packing her luggage alone, and suddenly something came to his mind.

"Yes, really..."

When Sakurai Haruka heard this, her cheeks suddenly turned red and she gave off a faint heat.

Qing Shuijian didn't mean to say something to praise her, but he felt so from the bottom of his heart.

If she really had to describe it, Shimizu Mi felt that Sakurai Haruka was now more feminine than before.

Sakurai Haruka touched her hot cheek, then immediately turned her face away, lowered her head and continued to pack her things with a faint smile on her lips.

Although Shimizu Mitsuhiro offered to help her clean up, Sakurai Haruka said it was okay and she could do it alone.

So, Shimizu Mi continued to lie on the bed, turning sideways to look at Sakurai Haruka.

"So, why did Haruka grow her hair long recently?"

If there is one thing that has been bothering me recently, it is that Sakurai Haruka has grown her short golden hair a little longer, and it has now slightly gone past her ears.

Although not as long as Amamiya Iori and Shimizu Reina, it is still a little longer than when they first started.

In fact, Shimizu had noticed this long before, but he never had the chance to say it.

Now that I have nothing to do, I just brought it up casually.

Sakurai Haruka hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised her head: "Well... I see you like long hair, right?"

"……what?"

"Is not it?"

After hearing what Sakurai Haruka said, Shimizumi's eyes widened.

To be honest, I don’t particularly like the length of my hair. I don’t have any particular preference whether it’s long or short.

But when I think about it carefully, I seem to have touched Amamiya Iori's hair often before, and of course I have also touched Shimizu Reina's hair... That soft touch is indeed very comfortable, and it is a fascinating feeling.

But at the same time, long hair is relatively troublesome to take care of.

"I thought maybe you would like long hair... so I want to try growing it longer."

That being said, Sakurai Haruka probably has never seen Shimizu behave like that, so I wonder how she came to this conclusion.

However, it is really touching to see a girl willing to change her image over the years for the other person.

So since Sakurai Haruka has already made her decision, Shimizu Mi naturally won't stop her.

By the way, Shimizu's eyes fell on Sakurai Haruka and he imagined what she would look like with long hair.

Based on Sakurai Haruka's current image, and adding long golden hair... Shimizu Mi couldn't help but imagine a very classic "gal" image.

To be honest, Sakurai Haruka's handsome face and height, coupled with her long golden hair, can easily make people who meet her for the first time think "Oh, you're a hottie."

However, on the one hand, Shimizu felt that a sexier Sakurai Haruka was also good, but his strongest thought was that it was not suitable for her, and the current state was the most suitable.

In general, whether it is short-haired Haruka Sakurai or long-haired Haruka Sakurai, she is very beautiful and a very charming girl. Thinking of this, Shimizu couldn't help but reach out and touch Haruka Sakurai's head, and also stroked her soft hair with her hand. Not only did it feel good, but it was also very shiny. It was indeed a beautiful golden hair.

Being touched by Shimizu like this, Sakurai Haruka tilted her head slightly. She might be a little concerned, but she didn't ask anything.

Unconsciously, Shimizu Ken was stroking Sakurai Haruka's head like he was petting a cat, and Sakurai Haruka really looked like a little female cat whose fur had been stroked smoothly, with a trance expression on her face that could not be seen by outsiders.

Shimizu stopped stroking Sakurai Haruka's head, lifted her face and stared into her eyes.

Her cheeks were still red and the shyness on her face had not yet disappeared, but even with such an expression, Shimizu found it very cute.

"See...I like you...I really, really like you."

Sakurai Haruka stood up from the ground, stretched out her arms and pressed Shimizu Mi on the bed.

As if she was a cat that smelled catnip, her cheeks were burning with excitement...

……

……

It took a lot of effort for Shimizu Mi and Sakurai Haruka to pack their luggage, and now Sakurai Haruka went to the bathroom to take a shower to fix her hair.

Qingshuijian rinsed his mouth and waited for her to finish, then went to the first floor to have breakfast together.

Although I stayed here for a few days, this was the first time I had breakfast in the hotel.

Breakfast was a luxurious buffet and was completely free, but this was probably already included in the room rate.

Shimizu simply got some Japanese breakfast of fish and tofu, and sat at a table by the window waiting for Sakurai Haruka.

As a result, she brought back an outrageous amount of food, and after she finished eating, there was still one third of it left, so in the end Qingmizu had to help her eat it.

Although we are advised to have a good breakfast, I accidentally ate too much.

After finishing breakfast and returning to the room, Qingshuijian boiled water and made a cup of black tea, then sat on the soft sofa and watched the morning TV program in the quiet space filled with sunlight.

"What are you going to do next?"

Sakurai Haruka stood up energetically, walked to her sky blue backpack, and took out a green frog wallet from it. The Shinkansen ticket she had bought in advance yesterday seemed to be sandwiched inside.

The Shinkansen doesn't depart until 2:30 pm, so there's plenty of time to have lunch and buy souvenirs.

As for where to go before noon, since there was no place in particular he wanted to go, Qingshuijian replied, "Anything is fine."

After watching TV for a while to kill some time and digesting some of the breakfast, Shimizu Mi and Sakurai Haruka leisurely checked out of the room.

After accepting the hotel staff's bow of thanks, Sakurai Haruka suggested taking a bus to a shopping mall that was said to be very famous in the local area.

Since there was still plenty of time, Qingshui Jian took a ride with her to the shopping mall.

The shopping mall is surrounded by a river and has a wide variety of daily necessities stores. It is a local tourist attraction and attracts many foreign tourists.

The huge red building is very impressive and is indeed a landmark.

Shimizu Mi and Sakurai Haruka didn't know where to go in this huge and complex space with so many people, but because of the previous experience, Shimizu Mi held Sakurai Haruka's hand tightly this time and did not let go.

The two were strolling around the shopping mall when they happened to see a street performer dressed as a clown performing by the fountain in the square, so they mixed in the crowd to watch.

The performance, which lasted about twenty minutes, was very interesting. After it was over, the clown humorously asked for money. Shimizu Mi put a hundred yen in his hat, and Sakurai Haruka happily put five hundred yen in his hat.

"You are really generous."

There was no bad intention in it, and Shimizu Mi just said it casually, but it made Sakurai Haruka look very happy.

Then, for some reason, Sakurai Haruka got extremely excited and ran to the magic store in the shopping mall to buy a lot of practice supplies.

Moreover, when she was buying the products, she didn't let Shimizu into the store, saying that she would also have to perform for him in the future, so they couldn't buy practice supplies together.

Seeing that there was no other way, Qingshui had to watch the advertisements for magic supplies on the electronic screen with a group of other children outside the store.

Not long after, Sakurai Haruka came out with a mysterious black bag in her hand.

She seemed to really intend to give it a try, and the expression on her face was brighter than usual. It was true that people with a goal would look radiant.

Time flies by quickly when I go shopping in the mall with her like this.

Sakurai Haruka bought some clothes and took some cute T-shirts and skirts to ask Shimizu for her opinion one by one. However, Shimizu had no idea about the quality of girls' clothes, so she could only say things like this one fits her well and that one's color is pretty.

But just hearing these words, Sakurai Haruka seemed very happy.

Finally, the two of them bought 200 yen worth of ice cream each and came to the station.

It was exactly 12:30 p.m. when we arrived at the station. Since we had just had ice cream, we decided to buy some local specialties before having lunch.

Next to the station, there are many large souvenir shops.

After the clerk's sales pitch and repeated tastings, Shimizu bought some snacks appropriately.

Then, before the train arrived, Shimizu Mi and Sakurai Haruka ate ramen at a nearby ramen shop, and then leisurely drank coffee at a cafe before boarding the Shinkansen.

The end of a trip always makes people feel inexplicably sad...but I don't feel that way with Sakurai Haruka.

"Let's travel again when the time comes. Come in winter next time and experience the cold."

Sakurai Haruka said as she sat by the window and looked at the scenery.

Shimizu didn't know how to react, so she decided to answer frankly.

"Yeah, that's not bad either."

Sakurai Haruka looked at Shimizu Mi in surprise for some reason, then immediately returned to her usual smiling face and hugged Shimizu Mi's arms tightly.

"Hey, why are you so frank? Are you happy with me?"

It was pleasant indeed, it is true.

However, after Shimizu saw this answer, Sakurai Haruka seemed to be a little too proud of herself.

But if there is a next time, it would be better to go somewhere further south than this time.

……

When they returned to the familiar Tokyo, the summer sky had turned slightly blue. Shimizu Mi and Sakurai Haruka took the tram together to the nearest public station and then went their separate ways.

Although Sakurai Haruka was very reluctant to leave, their homes were not in the same direction, and she had not returned to her apartment for more than two months since she was hospitalized, so she probably needed to clean it up now.

After saying goodbye to Sakurai Haruka, Shimizu Mi and Sakurai Haruka went back home.

After returning home, it seemed that Hoshino Akiko had not returned from get off work yet. Shimizu sent her a message on LINE saying that he had arrived home safely, then went to the bathroom to wash his face and rinse his mouth, and returned to his room.

Lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling, he suddenly felt sleepy. He didn't know if it was because he was tired or lack of sleep, it could be both, but Qingshuijian fell asleep just like that.

After sleeping for a while, Qingshuijian suddenly received a phone call.

The phone kept ringing excitedly. Shimizu turned on the screen and found that the person calling was Amamiya Iori.
