"Plant in a garden."

"Nothing magical about it?"

"What's so magical about it?" Kujo Miki asked.

"I'm asking you."

"I also want to ask you why you specifically asked me to draw blood in order to grow roses."

"It will be useful." Toru Watanabe finished his meal, leaned back lazily on his chair, and drank milk with satisfaction.

"You don't know either?"

"You know I can't tell you?"

"Then how did you get these things?"

"I won't tell you what I can tell you?"

Kujo Miki stared at him while eating the last few bites.

After eating, she put down the tableware, picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth gracefully: "What are your plans today?"

"Not yet, what about you?"

"I have classes on weekdays, and of course I have to work on weekends."

"Can I stay with you?" Toru Watanabe said.

"Go and accompany your two lovers." Miki Kujo put down her napkin and drank tea, "Is it Koizumi Aina's birthday on Monday?"

"right."

"What gift should I give her?" Miki Kujo said, holding a teacup and looking at Toru Watanabe with a smile.

"You have given her the best gift."

Kujo Miki was noncommittal: "What did you give her?"

Watanabe Toru put down the finished milk glass and flicked his earlobe with his fingers: "Earrings."

"I said it first, don't say I'm unreasonable when the time comes. Jewelry, house, whatever you want, if you dare to give them a ring, I will cut off their fingers." Kujo Miki sneered.

Kujo Miki, who is gentle and can joke, only exists in a bed with just two people.

"Well, it's best to make it clear this way. I'm afraid that all the emotions are piled up in my heart and suddenly explode." Toru Watanabe said, "Is there anything else?"

"It's about the child." Miki Kujo took a sip of tea, "I don't want to say cruel words to you, but you know it yourself."

"Not before you?"

"I let you raise them because I owe you twice, but that doesn't mean I will tolerate their unscrupulous behavior."

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Toru Watanabe said, "Husbands and wives must tolerate each other and accommodate each other before they can move forward. What's more, in such a complicated situation like ours, either you take a step back, I take a step back, or they take a step back. Mai-senpai

I didn’t fight for more ideas with Mr. Koizumi, these are totally fine, you have given me enough, Meiji.”

Miki Kujo glanced at him and put down her tea cup.

"For Koizumi Aina's birthday, you can give me a random gift."

Watanabe Toru sat up slightly and looked at her in disbelief.

"Husbands and wives tolerate each other. I will accommodate you and won't make things difficult for you. Don't let me down either."

"Are you still thinking about what Qingye Rin said last night?"

"You two," Kujo Miki sneered: "One person believes that the other person will definitely support her; the other person believes that support is not just words, but actual actions."

"My support does not include agreeing to marry her into the Kiyono family." Toru Watanabe explained quickly.

"If you had, I would have bitten off your tongue last night."

"...Speaking of which, Meiji, you know Qingye Rin very well. By the way, you didn't tell the story of what happened when you were a child last night."

"I'll talk about it next time I think about it."

After breakfast, Miki Kujo went to work, and Toru Watanabe went out and headed to "Jimbocho" station, while walking into one bookstore after another on the roadside.

I received a line message from Koizumi Aona when I was at a small bookstore called "Koubunkan" opposite the station.

"Arrived at Atami"

"Is it fun?"

"There is a free footbath at the station! It is indeed the number one hot spring resort in the island country!"

"Teacher, please give the students a photo of the teacher soaking her feet. This is the only request in my life!"

"!!!"

Watanabe Toru smiled. He liked legs, not feet. He was joking.

Atami is in Izu. Two days before the end of spring break this year, he and Kujo Miki went to Kawazu to enjoy cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers, and even played dancing girls in the evening.

But Atami didn't go.

After walking around the bookstore and coming to the magazine section, Toru Watanabe picked up a magazine about recommended tourist attractions in June.

The magazine cover picture is Okinawa, introducing places such as "Kamakura·Hydrangeas", "Izu·Hot Springs", "Hokkaido·Furano" and other places.

He turned to the Izu chapter and read page after page.

Pictures of Atami, blue sky, wide and empty seaside road, tall palm trees planted on both sides of the road.

It doesn't look like an island country at all, I must say, it feels a bit like Hawaii.

"Buzz~"

Toru Watanabe took out his vibrating phone and clicked on it. He saw three female teachers with their trousers rolled up and their feet soaking in the hot spring.

"..."

Because I was too shy to take the photo alone, so I even took the photo with my two best friends?

After saying "Thank you for the hospitality," Tetsu Watanabe posted an emoticon of a geisha saluting with her hands on the ground.

"!"

Koizumi Aona is probably so shy that she doesn’t know what to say.

Toru Watanabe put away his cell phone and picked up a book that took place in Atami.

Check out at the counter, walk across the zebra crossing, and get on the Shinjuku Line back to "Shinano-cho".

There are no seats near the door, but the middle of the bench is empty - the island country is a bit like the Chinese in this regard, they don't like conspicuous positions, and the seats near the side are usually occupied first.

‘Confucian cultural circle.’ He sighed in his mind and walked over to sit down.

The tram swayed, and he took out the book he just bought and read it.

While changing trains at Ichigaya, an idea suddenly occurred to him:

I won’t reply to Shinano Town anymore, and now I’m going to Atami to secretly meet Koizumi Aona as a birthday surprise for her.
