Chapter 858: Kato, a Lying Classmate
Hojo Kyosuke, a star that can shine only by itself, had no time to formally meet Kato Megumi's parents and relatives until this moment. For various reasons, as soon as Megumi got off the car, he pulled her to the desk and stuffed a stack of test papers into her. Keiichi's cousin and Hiromi's sister, who were eagerly waiting, could only gossip from Hojo's friends.
Over there, Ying Lili was holding a mobile phone in one hand and a skewer in the other, boasting to her mother about how powerful she was when she was drawing. While showing off, she also did not forget to use a philistine face to ask the agent's parents to bargain well with the partner and never let down her talent.
Unlike Hojo Kyosuke who is a staff member but not on the job, "egoistic-lily" formed by Spencer's family of three is a serious fan club. Even when they are not participating in fan exhibitions, they will cooperate with other fan clubs. This comic is such a product.
Eriri really liked the other party's work, and the two sides reached a friendly cooperation, but this guy was addicted to the excitement of being a deadline fighter, so it was delayed until now. In fact, Mrs. Sayuri seemed to have sent a message to notify her at midnight yesterday, but at that time, Eriri was sleeping with Yukino in her arms.
As for why Mrs. Sayuri was still awake so late, she definitely wasn't a steely female superhero like Mrs. Yukinoshita. She was just a simple two-dimensional character.
The series of professional terms that came out of Eriri's mouth amazed the Kato sisters who were gathered around her. They admired this creator who was still a high school student and could participate in commercial activities. So someone suddenly became even more complacent, and the sound of "Ehahahaha" kept drifting over the surface of Lake Kawaguchi under the night sky.
After packing up the tables, chairs and equipment, Hojo Kyosuke came to where his parents and Kato's parents were.
Of course, it is impossible for everyone to sit on the ground around the bonfire at a bonfire party. The housekeeper of the holiday villa has prepared long tables, benches and even tents for everyone. It seems that anything you can think of can be provided for you.
To be honest, even though they had chatted with the Hojo couple for quite a while and confirmed time and again that it was indeed the famous Hojo Kyosuke himself who invited them to the party, the Kato couple and their uncles were still in a dream and couldn't believe it.
In the car, my good eldest son and nephew Kato Keiichi kept talking all the way, and the good son-in-law who sponsored the financial support of this trip kept muttering something like "Teacher Hojo! Teacher Hojo! It's really great to be able to go boating and appreciate Mount Fuji with Teacher Hojo..." This made the Kato couple and others from an ordinary working-class family feel a little uneasy.
Xiaohui...she didn't say that she has such a good relationship with such a big shot?
Could it be that I recognized the wrong person? After all, there are more people named Kato Megumi in Japan than there are people who use mobile phones...
This was the guess of the Kato couple. Even after they got on the brand new luxury bus, they remained unchanged. They were just ready to apologize at any time.
"I am truly sorry that my daughter's name could be easily confused with someone else's."
Such.
After waiting for the bus, the couple breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their daughter quickly pulled over and tucked into a chair to start her daily routine.
What? It turns out Xiaohui is here to serve as a sample for the common people!
It must be that the people around Hojo Sensei are too smart and they wanted to understand what ordinary people are like, so they contacted Xiaohui.
Kato Tomoko proudly said to her husband at the time: "I'm not being arrogant, but if we talk about the most ordinary girl in Japan, I'm afraid no one is more ordinary than my daughter."
Having just witnessed Mr. Hojo and the blonde lady working together, the couple became more certain of this guess compared to their daughter who was timidly doing the test.
Although calling a cartoonist "teacher" in front of people like Osaka Tsuyoshi and Chikuno Kenzo would make people laugh, it is indeed a high-end profession with a mysterious color in the eyes of ordinary people. Just being able to see the scene of Hojo teacher at work makes all the "Katos" feel that the trip is worthwhile, and it is even more amazing than the magnificent Mount Fuji in front of them.
After all, Mount Fuji is right there. It takes less than two hours to get there by Shinkansen from Tokyo. You can sit here and watch it all day with a rice ball in your hand. If you want, you can also drink the snow water left by Mount Fuji and dig two balls of soil to put in the rice ball and eat it.
But it’s different for Mr. Hojo. He’s a celebrity who appears in the news newspapers every day, and he often stirs up a sensation on the Internet. He is completely parallel to ordinary people like them.
At this moment, facing Hojo Kyosuke who bowed and said "long time no see" respectfully, the Kato couple stood up and returned the greeting. Mr. Kato showed the basic qualities of a qualified social animal, and his old waist was sincerely bent to 90 degrees. When his eyes looked at the tip of his shoes, the father was quite proud, thinking that although he had become a veteran for so many years, his basic ability was still good.
How could Hojo Kyosuke dare to accept such a great gift? If it were Miyamizu Toshiki, it would be fine, so he quickly bowed and held Kato's father's shoulders.
The two men were in a stalemate and exchanged a lot of polite words. In the end, Miyamizu Toshiki couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out to persuade them, and Kato's father finally shut up.
There was no way. This person was no ordinary person. He was a senior bureaucrat in the Fire Department! A real big shot! Although I couldn't imagine how I could possibly ask him for help, bureaucrats were amazing.
As soon as they sat down, Kato's father asked attentively, "Teacher Hojo, is Xiaohui qualified as a commoner sample?"
Hojo Kyosuke smiled subconsciously and replied: "Pass, pass, Hui is simply a complete concubine..."
He reacted halfway through his words, his face turned strange, and he asked in confusion:
"Commoner sample?"
Kato's mother then quickly explained the two people's speculations.
'Ordinary beyond compare?'
Miyamizu Toshiki had never heard such praise before, and he looked in the direction of the young man curiously, looking, looking...
Wait, what does the girl named Kato Supermarket look like?
No, is there really a person called Kato Supermarket? !
Miyamizu Toshiki was shocked. A lot of Kato supermarkets that he had seen and visited emerged in his mind, but he couldn't remember the name and appearance of that ordinary girl.
Hojo Kyosuke didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't explain that Hui was the client of their club, and the client became less insignificant. After all, wouldn't it be in line with what Kato's parents said?
Hmm? No...wait...
hiss……
Hojo Kyosuke's eyes suddenly widened.
Damn, isn’t Hui’s character just like a commoner… No, a commoner test subject?
Her parents were right? They are such good parents. They really know their children.
"That's not the case at all! Hui and I are good friends. I've invited her to our house several times before, and she and my mother have met each other a long time ago."
In the end, he just gave such a normal introduction. He could see that Hui's parents respected him countless times more than Miyamizu Toshiki, and he was sure that the other party would not ask too many questions.
Kato's mother raised her hand to cover her mouth and asked in surprise: "Ah? You've already been a guest?"
The couple looked at each other and saw that the other was clueless.
"Ah... Xiaohui often goes to her friends' houses to play, but we thought that Renzi was her only friend. This kid..."
Kato Tomoko said in a low voice somewhat embarrassedly, it was obvious that despite the training from Sister Hui, the couple had not made any progress at all.
The elder sister was clearly dating her boyfriend, but she told her family that she was reading at a classmate's house; the younger sister was clearly staying at Mr. Hojo's house, but she told her family that she was playing at a friend's house.
The boyfriend is a classmate, and Hojo teacher is a friend. These words are all true and could not be more true. They are Kato’s unique little thoughts.
Fortunately, the couple, who were fooled around by their daughters, did not think of it as staying overnight and just thought it was a party in the daytime.
After clearing up the commoner's misunderstanding, the couple curiously asked why they took Huila to tutoring as soon as they met.
Hojo Kyosuke smiled and replied very appropriately:
"Ah, that. Actually, it's because the regular exams will be held soon after the Golden Week, so I thought that even if I go out to play, I can't fall behind in studying, so I just hold a study session when I'm tired of playing. We studied until late last night."
"Oh! I see!"
The Kato couple nodded repeatedly, marveling at how worthy of being Hojo-kun, whom even the University of Tokyo was eager to recruit. He really loved learning.
In the eyes of the couple, Keiichi Kato, a relative who was admitted to medical university, was already someone else's child. They mentioned him every day and loved him more than their own daughter, not to mention Hojo Kyosuke, a genius who received a special recruitment notice before he even entered high school.
Miyamizu Toshiki on the side sneered with his eyes squinting, cursing in his heart, "You bastard who is full of nonsense!"
The more he saw this little bastard chatting happily with other girls' parents, the more depressed the old father became. He simply stood up without saying a word, jogged all the way and forced his way into the group of his youngest daughter Siye.
At night, by the lake, by the bonfire, with the looming mountains in the distance...
Any one of these factors would bring to mind a host of horror stories, let alone all of them combined.
The two radio-type girls, Xiangye and Sachiko, started talking incessantly about stories about aliens and supernatural things. Miyamizu Toshiki, who forced his way over, didn't have time to be happy that his little daughter hugged his arm, but soon he was scared to the point of getting goose bumps from the stories told by the two little brats.
After all...he had really seen those strange things!
But as we all know, horror stories are more frightening if you stop listening in the middle than to the end, so he soon hugged his little daughter's arm.
As for Hojo Kyosuke, the Kato couple did not treat him as a junior at all. They treated him as a peer and started talking about their children's education.
Someone had noticed from Hui that the Kato couple favored sons over daughters, but after talking to them, they found that it was not as serious as they had imagined. Apart from other things, if they really favored sons over daughters, Kato's parents would definitely insist on Hui finding a son-in-law to inherit the family name, but the couple had no intention of doing so.
So Hojo Kyosuke couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment. Were the Kato couple's deeds far worse than those of the male chauvinist regime, where they "completely didn't care about their children", or was it that Kei, as a girl, was too sensitive?
Thinking casually in his mind, he continued to chat with the Kato couple and several other uncles and aunts.
Not far away, Kato Megumi's sister, brother-in-law, and cousins were all looking at their parents with gritted teeth. If they were not worried about being rude in front of Hojo teacher, they would have run up and yelled at their parents, "Can you please stop looking like such country bumpkins? It's really embarrassing!"
They are the ones who are surrounding Mr. Hojo and asking all kinds of questions like they are the country bumpkins!
Hui was holding a skewer with marshmallow on it in her hand, which was given to her by her classmate Yukino.
Marshmallows are very delicious after being roasted and charred, and they are even better when sandwiched between biscuits. The most important thing is that this way of eating is almost only done when camping in the wild, so even if there are fragrant barbecue marshmallows nearby, they still have a chance to appear.
Although the girl was holding a marshmallow in her hand, it was not a million miles away from the fire. It could only be said that the marshmallow was so cold that she had to wear a cotton jacket.
Her pair of black eyes stared blankly at her parents who were chatting with Kyosuke and laughing, and there was a constantly changing glow of fire on her fair little face.
"What are you thinking about?"
A voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Hui's eyes regained focus, and the marshmallow in her hand remained motionless, and it was not obvious that she was frightened.
"Nothing," she said softly.
Anyone else would have thought the girl was in a daze, but the person asking the question was the older sister who taught Hui to lie.
Kato Hiromi... No, Yoshinaga Hiromi sat next to her sister. She leaned over and squeezed her sister so hard that she almost fell off the chair. Then she looked over from her sister's angle and saw her parents chatting with Hojo Kyosuke, their faces already glowing with joy.
"Haha~ I get it, Xiaohui is jealous!"
The elder sister said with a smirk.
Hui wrinkled her nose very slightly, then raised the marshmallow in her hand to force her sister back.
"Nothing like that."
She said calmly, and then asked:
"Why don't you chat with Yukino's sister for a while? You two should have a lot to talk about."
"Mmmmmmm!"
Yoshinaga Hiromi nodded, still staring at her sister's face with a smile:
"Let me think about it. This is a mockery of me for not studying hard and only dating Bunta, which led to me not being admitted to the university of my choice. Now I can only make up for my regret by chatting with others. By the way, it also mocks me for being a bad sister who likes to tease her younger sister like that Yang No-san. Hmm...
If you want to say more, Xiaohui, I am the one who is jealous. Is that right?"
"..."
The girl with the bob haircut didn't answer, but just stretched the marshmallow in her hand towards the fire. The white sugar floss immediately turned into a burnt brown, and a sweet and greasy fragrance came. (End of this chapter)
