All in all, we have to go to Kiyose Station first.

Shinichi Iwahashi opened his itinerary and checked the map from last night.

In order to have fried hamburgers for lunch as he wished, he left early and came out of the company. He was going to an unfamiliar place, and the first most eye-catching landmark was the station, so Shinichi Iwahashi simply chose to take the train there.

The first time I went back to my girlfriend's hometown to have a meal, I didn't go back with her but went there by myself.

It's not a formal meeting, and it would be boring if it was too solemn. But I feel a little guilty when I come to the door with nothing but my words.

Akina Nakamori often talks in front of Shinichi Iwahashi about her mother, Chieko. Even though Shinichi Iwahashi has never met Chieko, he has a more or less vague understanding of her.

I know she loves beauty, is energetic and loves life.

At this time, the tram carriage was not too quiet, but it was not crowded either. After changing trains once, and coming out of Kiyose Station, Shinichi Iwahashi walked along the street according to the map given by Akina Nakamori.

Most of the buildings in the shopping street near the station don't look very eye-catching. Among these half-new but not old buildings, there is a three-story mixed-use commercial and residential building that stands out.

The exterior wall of the building is still quite fresh, and it looks like it was recently built. From the outside, the building looks quite impressive. There are several restaurants on the first floor, all of which are deserted.

Although it was opened in a new building, it seemed quite lonely due to the lack of warmth from customers.

Shinichi Iwahashi glanced at the slender signboards hanging outside the second and third floors of the building, which read "Nakamori Building".

Members of a family are crowded into the same building to open restaurants, but they have to open three restaurants separately instead of running the same one together. They are not willing to cooperate together and run a business together, but they are also unwilling to separate completely and pursue their own interests.

From the practices of Nakamori Akina's family, Iwahashi Shinichi came to understand to some extent the state of mind of this large family, as well as the subtle kinship between them.

He withdrew his gaze and did not stay near the Nakamori Building. He walked into the depths of the shopping street and found a flower shop that was open. After coming out, he was not in a hurry to go to Nakamori Akina's hometown and first looked for a flower shop on the street.

Call her from a public phone.

After waiting for a while, the call came back.

"Hey, hey." Akina Nakamori's voice came from the receiver.

As soon as Iwahashi Shin picked up the public phone, he remembered the game he often played with her, and said deliberately, "This is a public phone."

"I always play with public phones randomly, but this is a very unethical behavior." Nakamori Akina immediately got into the act and started teaching him a lesson.

"Yes." Iwahashi Shinichi pretended to accept criticism humbly.

Such a cheerful and straightforward reaction made Nakamori Akina laugh. She couldn't play the game anymore because of her laughter. Shinichi Iwahashi didn't wait for her to ask, but took the initiative to tell her, "I've already arrived at Kiyose."

He looked around the area and casually reported the name of a small shop selling stationery on the street. Akina Nakamori listened happily and told him, "That shop has been open since I was in elementary school."

When Nakamori Akina said this, Iwahashi Shinichi subconsciously imagined what she looked like when she came to this store to buy notebooks when she was a child.

"If we get here..."

On the phone, Nakamori Akina couldn't help but act as a conductor. Iwahashi Shinichi interrupted her and reminded her, "Didn't I draw a map yesterday?"

"right."

Akina Nakamori smiled childishly, "Then come here quickly, mother is preparing to fry hamburgers. There are other things..." She stopped talking, decided to leave some suspense, and urged him, "Come quickly, come quickly

."

"It's over now." Iwahashi Shinichi agreed with a smile and put down the phone.

He compared the map, walked slowly over, and found a Japanese-style house with the door number "Nakamori Family". Under "Nakamori" on the door number, there were "Akio", "Chieko" and "Akiho".

name.

Neither Nakamori Akina nor Nakamori Akiho is married, but only Akiho's name tag is hanging here, probably because they are worried that fans will come to harass them after it is posted.

In addition, it is also related to the fact that Akina Nakamori left home early to live alone and is completely independent.

I heard from her before that Akiho Nakamori also moved out of her home. But perhaps because she was not burdened by fame, or because she was accustomed to being domineering in the family, her name brand was still nailed there.

The courtyard door was open, Iwahashi Shinichi walked in, stood outside the gate, and rang the doorbell.

Not long after, I heard the sound of people walking from far to near, the door was opened, and Nakamori Akina leaned out half of her body with a smile, "Welcome, Shinichi-kun."

As he spoke, he opened the door completely——

Then, his eyes fell on the bouquet in Shinichi Iwahashi's hand.

"This is for Chieko-san," Shinichi Iwahashi told her.

Akina Nakamori said "Oh", stared at his face, and pouted, "Shinichi-kun hasn't sent me any flowers yet."

"Um……"

It seemed that he had never sent her any flowers. Iwahashi Shinichi accepted Nakamori Akina's somewhat amused look.

"However," her little thought was fleeting and was replaced by excitement, "Mother likes flowers very much. She will be very happy to receive them."

As he said that, Akina Nakamori stepped aside and let him in.

The two of them talked for a while in the entrance hall. Chieko, who heard the noise in front of her, came out of the kitchen and walked over.

"Mother, Iwahashi sent you flowers."

Akina Nakamori turned around and showed off to Chieko loudly.

She looked so happy, as if this bouquet of flowers was given to her.

She was cheerful and Iwahashi Shinichi behaved well and greeted Chieko, "It's our first time meeting you. I'm going to disturb you today."

"Hello." Chieko smiled brightly, "Iwahashi-kun, is it okay to call you this?"

Her eyes fell on the bouquet of flowers, and she felt happy from the bottom of her heart, thanking Iwahashi Shin.

Just as Nakamori Akina revealed to Iwahashi Shinichi in her words, Chieko loves beauty and loves life. Although she lacks such vitality due to poor health in recent years, she is still cheerful inside.

After receiving the flowers from the young man, Chieko felt that she was much younger and more energetic.

"I'll get the vase." Akina Nakamori volunteered to arrange the flowers brought by Shinichi Iwahashi for her mother.

Chieko looked at Shinichi Iwahashi again. After all, it was the first time they met, so it was impossible not to be curious about this Iwahashi whom she had only heard of by name but never met in person.

She is generous and does not hide her thoughts.

But it was just right, and he put away his exposed curiosity at the right time, "Can you wait a little longer? Iwahashi-kun. Lunch will take a while."

Such Chieko made Iwahashi Shinichi feel from the bottom of his heart that she was worthy of being a mother who raised a daughter like Nakamori Akina.

…

Akina Nakamori came out of the kitchen with a vase in her arms, and happened to bring Shinichi Iwahashi into the living room. She took her cushion and handed it to him. She was about to go out again, "I still haven't taken the scissors."

After taking two steps out, he came back and asked him, "Shen Yijun, are you hungry?"

Iwahashi Shinichi said it didn't matter, Nakamori Akina said "Oh" and went out again. Being left alone in the living room, he looked around the small Japanese-style room with some curiosity.

Occasionally, I remembered the old stories that Akina Nakamori told him about her childhood, and I thought it was quite strange to sit here and wait to eat fried hamburgers.

Akina Nakamori left and came back with scissors in one hand and fried shrimp tempura in the other.

Iwahashi Shinichi felt that her combination was more wonderful than what he had just imagined.

"I'll give you this first, we have to wait for a while." She was quite informal. I don't know if it was because she was at home or because she was with her mother.

Iwahashi Shinichi made her laugh.

"hurry up."

Nakamori Akina put the fried shrimp to his mouth and said in a decent manner, "'Ah~'"

Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but look away.

There was nothing I could do, it was really shameful to be fed by my girlfriend...and it was still at her home, and her mother was cooking in the kitchen next door.

Thinking of Chieko being by Nakamori Akina's side when she took away the fried shrimp, Iwahashi Shinichi felt a little sore in his teeth.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Nakamori Akina tried her best to hold back her laughter and urged him.

Iwahashi Shinichi glanced at the impatient Tao Pushida, and suddenly felt that there was a pool of bad water swaying in her smiling eyes.

There is reason to believe that she definitely did it on purpose. But I don’t know where I “offended” her again.

"Sigh." Iwahashi Shinichi sighed and fought for himself, "It would be bad if Chieko-san saw it."

If Chieko suddenly came over while she was being fed, the scene would be unbearable just to think about.

"If you eat faster, won't your mother see you?"

Akina Nakamori spoke plausibly, "Open your mouth quickly, 'Ah~'... like this."

Shinichi Iwahashi lowered his gaze to see the fried shrimp tempura. When he lowered his head, he also saw the shining scissors in her other hand.

I always feel that this scene is a little weird. It has a strange feeling of coercion and inducement.

He was heartbroken, opened his mouth, took a bite, chewed quickly, and swallowed. Three times, five divided by two, he got rid of the fried shrimp.

Akina Nakamori succeeded in her prank and burst into laughter.

"It tastes pretty good." Shinichi Iwahashi relieved his shame crisis and commented seriously.

Nakamori Akina happily said, "Really? Just say that my mother's craftsmanship is top-notch...I have never exaggerated when talking about my mother."

"Yeah." Shinichi Iwahashi believed, "Now, I'm even more looking forward to fried burgers."

Nakamori Akina took care of everything for her mother, "Just look forward to it."
