"Sure enough, dad ate instant noodles again, and the instant noodle box wasn't cleaned..."
Walking into the kitchen, the instant noodle box was clearly visible, but the gas stove was completely unused.
"Asakawa-san, wait a moment." Furuhashi sighed, "I will clean the instant noodle box."
The box left after eating instant noodles cannot be thrown away immediately, it must be cleaned and dried before being disposed of in a recyclable trash can.
It can even throw it away secretly, it's okay if it's not caught on the spot. This mainly depends on personal morality, they say that Japan is very clean, in fact there are also many people who throw garbage on the streets.
Of course, with Furuhashi's character, it was absolutely impossible to litter.
After cleaning up the instant noodle box, Furuhashi just cleaned up all the trash in the house.
"And the fridge..."
Furuhashi opened the fridge, checked its contents, and muttered, "Milk has been stored for a few days, so be careful with the expiration date."
"Let's write."
Furuhashi took out a pen and paper, wrote down the precautions on sticky notes, and stuck them on the fridge door.
"There's still fruit to eat quickly... Don't leave it to dad, Asakawa-san, let's eat the fruit."
Naoki manages to get hold of a bunch of grapes.
"Asakawa-san, what's next to you?"
Furuhashi suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked.
Naoki turned his head and glanced at it: "That must be your father's clothes."
"Outrageous to throw clothes on the sofa!"
Furuhashi walked over to pick up the clothes, "The washed clothes should be folded and put in the closet, too many to throw away…"
A loud crash was heard.
A coin fell from his pocket and rolled under the sofa.
"Is there a coin on the clothes, won't it damage the washing machine?" Furuhashi complained, "I just wasn't home for a day, and it was messed up like this. Dad is such an idiot for housework."
Naoki shrugged: "It doesn't matter if there are coins. When the washing machine was designed, the possibility of accidentally mixing foreign matter was considered, and a few more coins would not damage the washing machine."
Not to mention the coins, there are people who use the washing machine to wash the lobster, after washing it is not clean and intact.
"Ugh-"
Furuhashi snorted.
Are you on my side or dad?
Naoki handed out wine: "Eat grapes to cool down."
Furuhashi opened his mouth and ate the grapes in one bite, continuing to look for the coins that had rolled under the sofa.
At the same time.
The door was gently pushed, and a middle-aged man in a suit, with a beard and decadent eyes entered.
Seeing Naoki sitting on the sofa, his footsteps stopped for a moment.
"Why do I hear footsteps?"
Furuhashi raised his eyes in surprise, resting his elbow on Naoki's thigh.
Naoki lowered his head: "Uncle is back."
"Dad is back?"
Furuhashi was taken aback, she quickly raised his head, and looked at Naoki at the door, right in line with his father's eyes.
Four eyes facing each other.
Furuhashi clearly saw the shock, disbelief, and distress and trance in his father's eyes.
What has happened?
I haven't seen you for a day, dad's expression is too much, right?
It feels like three years of marriage and still not home...
Aware of Furuhashi's father's cold attitude, Naoki hastily said:
"Furuhashi, wake up quickly."
"Eh?"
Furuhashi glanced at Naoki, and then saw the current posture of the two of them, and his face suddenly turned red.
Looking from dad's point of view, his view will be blocked by the sofa, so dad can't see what Asakawa-san and I are doing.
No wonder Father's expression is so complicated, he clearly suspects that Asakawa-san and I are doing something bad!
Furuhashi suddenly stood up and was about to explain, but the wine she had just eaten choked in his throat, his face changed, she covered his mouth and suddenly coughed.
Seeing this scene, the expression on Furuhashi's father's face became even more complicated.
Naoki stood up quickly, raised his hand to prove his innocence: "Uncle, listen to my explanation—"
"While I was sorting your clothes just now, a coin rolled under the sofa. Furuhashi was picking up the coins. The cough is from eating grapes, we don't…"
There was a pain in the waist, and he was silently twisted 360 degrees by Furuhashi.
Naoki quickly calmed down, "In short, the truth is like this."
Furuhashi's father quickly calmed down, and his expression calmed down again.
The reason is simple.
Naoki's clothes were neat, without the slightest bit of mess, definitely not lying.
Furuhashi lightly patted his chest, and finally swallowed his breath.
"Tissue"
Naoki handed it a tissue and let Furuhashi wipe his teary eyes.
It's just a choking moment, but tears can flow, girls are all made of water!
The father and daughter looked at each other in silence, and the air suddenly became silent.
In the end, it was Furuhashi's father who spoke first, and said coldly:
"What are you doing back here?"
Furuhashi who was initially still a little guilty and complicated, immediately bit his lower lip as soon as she heard those words.
"Go back and get my clothes, I'll be leaving soon!"
Furuhashi's father was silent, then asked: "Where is Shizuru's computer?"
"Don't worry, I keep mom's computer well, and I will definitely open the folder." Furuhashi turned around and picked up something, "Asakawa-san, let's go."
Naoki took and saluted, and bowed to Furuhashi's father: "Uncle, we go first."
The contradictions and estrangements between fathers and daughters are not really suitable to interrupt rashly until the situation is clear.
Get out of Furuhashi's house.
The sky had completely darkened.
"I'll be mad!"
Furuhashi who was still expressionless now, broke his strength in a second, and became a furious beast. She clenched his fists and couldn't help but scream, "Dad didn't say a word about worrying, dad only cared about mom's computer."
Naoki shrugged: "I guess it's because uncle thinks you're very reliable, so he's not worried."
"Don't mind him." Furuhashi opened his mouth, "Let's go have a big meal!"
They both went to enjoy the buffet barbecue.
Furuhashi didn't stop eating because of his anger, but turned his anger into appetite and ate more than usual.
After the barbecue, return to the apartment.
"It's so hot, I want to take a shower." Furuhashi stretched out his right hand and continued to fan in front of her, "Asakawa-san, hurry up and take a shower, and I'll take a shower after you finish bathing."
Naoki put the things down: "You take a shower first?"
"No, you better take a shower first." Furuhashi shook his head "You take a quick shower, if I take a shower first, it will take a long time to shower."
Naoki nodded: "Then I'll take a shower first."
Women usually start bathing for half an hour, and it is very uncomfortable to shower after.
All in all, their life together has officially begun.
....
The next day.
8.30 am.
A knock on the door broke the silence of the morning.
Naoki just woke up not long after hearing a knock on the door, walked to the door, looked out of the cat's eyes, and a pair of green rabbit ear bands appeared in his eyes.
Continuing downwards, there were bright and divine blue eyes.
"Yotsuba?"
Naoki opened the door.
Dressed in a white shirt, plaid skirt, and black knee-high socks, a beautiful girl stood outside the door, with a bright smile on her face:
"Asakawa-sensei, good morning!"
An energetic voice sounded in his ears, and the girl from the Nakano family with such a bright smile was definitely a Yotsuba.
"Why are you here all of a sudden?"
Naoki looked outside while speaking.
Very good, only Yotsuba only, not the Quintuplets.
Yotsuba replied, "School is closed today, so I'm here to fulfill my promise."
"What promise?"
"Ehhh, Asakawa-san, did you forget?" Yotsuba tilted his head, "Just been an exclusive maid for one day, I've been training..."
Yotsuba clenched his right fist and coughed lightly, with a serious expression: "Master, Yotsuba maid is here for you…"
Hey, why do you have to fulfill your promise today! You've been putting off until the end of summer vacation!
Before those words were finished, a pajama-wearing girl with slightly messy hair, unbuttoned her pajamas on her chest, faintly revealing her snow-white skin, with her innocent face facing out.
"Asakawa-san, it looks like someone is knocking on the door..."
Four eyes facing each other.
The atmosphere suddenly calmed down.
"Furuhashi-san?"
Yotsuba opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.
Is that Furuhashi?
Of course not wrong.
Why is Furuhashi-san at Asakawa-san's apartment?
Come to visit before myself?
No, no, no.
Why was Furuhashi wearing pajamas during his visit, and it looked like she had just woken up.
"This look…" Yotsubate stuttered, "Are you living together?"
"Wait a moment!" Furuhashi raised his hand to cover his chest, his face and she turned around in a panic "I'll explain it to you while I'm getting dressed!"
The bedroom door closed quickly.
Yotsuba said suspiciously:
"In your apartment… why is there a girl?"
At this moment, the normally bright and dazzling blue eyes suddenly dimmed, and it seemed like a black mist was rising, suddenly a little scary.
Naoki's expression remained unchanged. As a superhuman, even if Yotsuba suddenly took out an axe, he would not be afraid, at best would be surprised.
"Do you still remember that night half a month before summer vacation?"
"Umm?"
"At night you suddenly came to sit."
Yotsuba blushed "That day was a special situation, it's been a long time, forget it now!"
"I can't forget it." Naoki sighed, "I still regret not taking pictures with my cell phone. Such a poor, weak and helpless Yotsuba like that is extremely rare."
"No, don't say that!" Yotsuba raised his hand to cover his ear, "Asakawa-san is bullying me."
"Overall, the situation is the same as you did that night." Naoki shrugged and explained, "Due to some special circumstances, Furuhashi is staying with me for now."
Yotsuba's tone was hesitant: "...Living together?"
"This is not living together!"
Furuhashi who quickly changed into his clothes, hurriedly pushed the door and went out, but she didn't have time to comb his hair.
"Yotsuba-san, listen to my explanation." Furuhashi said quickly, "For some reason, I don't want to go home for now… So I'm staying with Asakawa-san for now."
"So that's how it is." Yotsuba was actually very talkative, and the kind little angel was not in vain, without doubting Furuhashi's explanation, only hesitated for a while and said:
"Then… How long is Furuhashi-dan planning to stay here?"
A day or two is called an overnight stay, after so long being living together, right?
One sentence to the point.
Furuhashi didn't know how long she would be hitchhiking, since she ran away from home, it would take longer... At least she had to wait for the password of the folder his mother left her to crack.
"Yotsuba, have you had breakfast?"
Naoki asked.
Yotsuba shook his head: "Not yet."
She came early in the morning, not because she was going out in the morning, but because she wanted to do her maid service since breakfast.
But now it seemed the maid clothes in the backpack and the breakfast bought were useless.
Naoki said simply: "I will make cold udon noodles, just to eat together."
"Oh."
Naoki turned to look at Furuhashi and instructed, "Furuhashi, go wash your face and brush your teeth."
"Understood."
Furuhashi turned around and walked to the bathroom.
Naoki looked at Yotsuba and gestured, "Come here."
The Yotsuba came excitedly.
Naoki whispered, "Now you can do the job as a maid."
"Not!" Yotsuba seemed to hastily shook his head, "How is it possible to wear maid clothes in front of Furuhashi-san!"
Naoki was surprised: "You brought maid clothes here?"
Yotsuba hastily covered his backpack: "No, I didn't bring it, I was wrong, Asakawa-san don't look at it."
"Anyway, make the cold udon noodles first." Naoki waved "I leave it to you."
Yotsuba's eyes widened: "Let me do it?"
"If not?" Naoki said as usual, "As a maid, it's normal to do housework, right?"
Yotsuba: "😐"
She thought Naoki would be embarrassed and blame he4self, so why did he order calmly.
...
10 minutes later.
The three sat around a low table, each serving cold udon noodles.
"Ittadakimasu."
There was only one more person, but for some reason, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Naoki broke the silence: "This is udon noodles that Yotsuba made."
"Not suprisingly." Furuhashi was surprised, and quickly said, "It's even better than yesterday."
Yotsuba tilted his head, and a piece of noodle hung in his mouth: "Yesterday?"
"Cough cough cough."
Furuhashi hastily coughed and changed the subject: "Now then, summer vacation, why did Yotsuba-san come here?"
Yotsuba couldn't answer for a while.
Coming here to fulfill a maid promise and become Asakawa-san's exclusive maid for one day, she couldn't say it at all.
