"I followed my mother to the banquet at that time, but I saw that scene from a distance. After the rescued little girl came to her senses, she was so frightened that she ran away without even having time to say thank you."
"Of course, I'm not much better." Suzuki Ayako smiled frankly, with an unusual hint of playfulness flashing across her eyebrows, "I was so scared that I held my mother's hand tightly, and then left the banquet early and went home to rest."
Shizuo Komemon nodded and was not unhappy. This was a normal reaction.
"Later, when I was in college, you started releasing songs again under the name Chiba Hiiragi. I really like listening to music. At that time, media reports speculated that you were the same person as Hajima Yuhei in your early years, so I was particularly interested.
I particularly like several songs released under the name Chiba Hiiragi and never tire of listening to them.
It's just that I always thought that Hashima Yuhei and Chiba Hiiragi were the same person, a very talented... uncle? - At least that's the age I guessed.
And the boy who flipped the table over at the banquet was another person."
Suzuki Ayako stopped and the two of them stood in front of the path leading to the back mountain, "It wasn't until not long ago that I learned that the two people who had left a deep impression on me were actually Shizuo-san, and then... suddenly...
It feels very subtle.”
"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Shizuo Komemon stepped onto the steps, and Ayako Suzuki followed suit again.
"No~" Suzuki Ayako smiled, "I was rather shocked. I imagined Hajima Yuhei and Chiba Hiiragi to be affectionate uncles, but they turned out to be my peers.
Moreover, when I was young, I was frightened by Shizuo-san's violence, but looking back now, it is easy to see the tenderness behind the violence.
Compared to those peers who participated in bullying or looked on with cold eyes at that time, Shizuo-san is really different."
"So..." The breeze blew by, and Suzuki Ayako's hair was blown up, "Although it wasn't love at first sight, my curiosity and affection for Shizuo-san are true~
Even if there is no such thing as marriage, if I meet you, I think I will try to get closer to you."
The mountain behind was not very high, and the two of them had already reached the top of the mountain while they were talking. The road behind them was not easy to walk, so they subconsciously stopped there.
"I know that Shizuo-san is very dissatisfied with Uncle Gu Meimen's arrangement. If the marriage makes Shizuo-san feel uncomfortable, then... can you please forget about it and get acquainted with me again?"
Suzuki Ayako stood facing Shizuo Komemon, raising her head slightly. Behind her was a clear spring between the rocks, gurgling.
"First time we meet, I am Suzuki Ayako."
…
"Where did you two go? I've been waiting alone for a long time!"
The two returned to the villa, and as soon as they entered the door, Suzuki Sonoko complained angrily.
"Ah, are you scared? You are so old and you still dare not be alone?" Suzuki Ayako touched Sonoko's head and joked.
"So, what did you do when you sneaked out?" Suzuki Sonoko changed her expression quickly and inquired thiefly.
Suzuki Ayako pointed her green-white fingers on Sonoko's forehead, "Don't be such a gossip all the time. The cookies should be ready. I'll take them out for you to eat."
Suzuki Sonoko watched her sister walking towards the kitchen, turned around and asked Shizuo Komemon with a wink: "Tell me, have you done anything bad? I heard that adult relationships progress very quickly..."
Before she could finish her words, Shizuo Komemon's head popped up on her forehead, "I would be very grateful if you could be quiet for a while."
After saying that, Shizuo Komemon walked past her and walked towards the restaurant. Suzuki Sonoko made a face at his back, and then followed her.
Suzuki Ayako put on her apron again and brought out the very delicate cookies and lemon tea placed on the plate.
"Thank you for your hard work, you should rest for a while." Shizuo Komemon said.
"Hi." Suzuki Ayako responded with a smile.
At this point, Yuanzi had already eaten and drank. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Why does this black tea have sugar in it? And not less."
Suzuki Ayako explained: "Shizuo-san prefers sweets, so I added a little more this time. Don't you also eat sweets?"
"But I don't want it to be so sweet..." Yuanzi muttered, and then said mischievously, "You've started to favoritism even before you get married. When you two really get married, won't my sister have no status at all?
"
"Garden."
Suzuki Ayako interrupted her shyly, then secretly glanced at Shizuo Fumimon, who said, "Who is coming today? Can you tell me in advance?"
"Hey, there's nothing I can't say. I'm here with a few friends from the same club at the university. If I remember correctly over there in the garden, it should be Xiaolan, right?" Suzuki Ayako turned to her sister to confirm.
Suzuki Sonoko nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, Xiaolan, and that brat Conan should also be here."
Just as he was talking, the doorbell rang.
"I'll drive it!" Suzuki Sonoko volunteered, even a little excited.
Suzuki Sonoko opened the door and welcomed three people in. Ayako also stood up and walked to the door of the restaurant to greet them. "It's been a hard journey. I'll take you to the second floor to put down your luggage first, or you can have something to eat in the restaurant first. I've done it."
Some snacks.”
Suzuki Sonoko quickly waved her hand, "Okay, I know Ota-san and the others, so I'll just entertain them. You can go and accompany yours. I think Ota-san and the others won't mind, right?"
Ota Katsu, who has long hair and looks like an ancient prince, heard this and asked: "Does it mean that Ayako-san has a boyfriend?"
Suzuki Sonoko nodded heavily, "That's it!"
Hiroki Kakutani, a long-faced man who looked very simple, smiled honestly, "That's really good. Congratulations to you, Ayako-san. Now that you've said that, we're not in a hurry to rest. Why don't you introduce us to him first?"
Suzuki Ayako's face turned red, and she looked back at the restaurant, only to find that Shizuo Fumimon had walked over at some point.
As soon as Shizuo Komemon appeared, the people who came were extremely surprised. They never expected that Suzuki Ayako's boyfriend looked so much like a Yakuza.
Suzuki Sonoko introduced her nonchalantly, "This is my sister's chosen marriage partner. She is very determined to marry her."
"Sonoko..." Suzuki Ayako blushed.
"These are all friends of my sister's film club..."
Following Suzuki Sonoko's introduction, Komemon Shizuo looked at these people one by one.
The film club stars Masaru Ohta, Hiroki Kakutani is in charge of photography, Ryoichi Takahashi is in charge of large props, and Chikako Ikeda is the president and is responsible for director and script.
Suzuki Sonoko also specifically emphasized that the TV series Blue Kingdom, with Chikako Ikeda in charge of the script, is currently being broadcast on TV.
Hearing this, Shizuo Komemon took one more look at her big head, and then his eyes fell on Takahashi Ryoichi's belly.
