120 Return The Handkerchief

Shin was not polite to Kazuya. He took the food box and thanked him happily, then left with his sister. When he walked out, he was dissatisfied and protested: "I want to sit there for more time and ask Kazuya how he supports this store. Why do you pull me out?"

He felt that Kazuya was amazing and could always do things that he couldn't do. Just looking at the restaurant with no empty seats, he could tell that he was very good at cooking.

Kanae turned back and glanced at the Pure Flavor House, "They are busy. If you can't help, don't bother them there." 

As she said that, she snatched the food box from Shin's hand, opened it and looked at it. She found that all grids inside were filled and the snacks were all exquisite. She said with satisfaction: "He is good at cooking. The plate of cakes just now is really delicious, sweet but not greasy. I feel cool and comfortable after eating. This food box is mine now."

She didn't like sweets before, but after eating the stack of cakes, she suddenly became interested.

Shin refused: "But it's what Kazuya give me!"

"Stop talking nonsense! What kind of dessert do you, a boy, have to eat! Hurry up and lead the way. Next, go to visit Okada and see what that girl is doing!" As she spoke, she pushed Shin forward with the food box under her arm. 

She was a kendo enthusiast but slightly road blind. It was too troublesome to find her own way, so she let someone who was more or less familiar with the roads lead her around. As for snatching his food box, it is only natural for a sister to snatch his brother's things.

Shin was very dissatisfied, but he didn't argue with his sister on the street. He continued to lead the way angrily and silentlt, but Kanae taught him a lesson: "You have a pretty good friend. You can get along more with him in the future. Don't get together with that Uchida, that guy never learns good things!"

Shin didn't refute and continued to move forward in a sulky tone. When will her go to college? It's best to go abroad for four years and never come back!

The two siblings left and Kazuya didn't care. The business in the store was getting better and people kept coming. In the end, he could only tell Haruka to turn away customers at the door, and it ended at half past eleven.

Money is something that can't be earned out. If you really want to run an izakaya well, you should treat as many guests as your store can hodl. Now the store was full of children, so they could only make less money to ensure that they could get enough rest time. Anyway, according to the current situation, everyone could basically be ensured to live a original life.

After seeing off all guest, Kazuya's work was actually over, but he was not in a hurry to leave. He just placed the pots and pans there and wiped the kitchen table hard, while Akiho persuaded softly next to him. "You can go back and rest early. Please leave these tasks to me."

Kazuya glanced at her and smiled: "Why have you said honorifics to me these days? Don't be so polite. I like to clean things. This is my hobby!"

Akiho was speechless. Your hobbies are so special!

But her favorability towards Kazuya was now respect. She knew she couldn't dissuade him so she only speed up to help Kazuya, and finally the kitchen was kept spotless. 

Kazuya took the dog food and prepared to go home. But as soon as he walked out of the door, he was stopped by Haruka.

Haruka caught up with him and didn't say a word for a while, just standing there with her head tilted and hands behind her back. He waited for a while and was speechless. This little radish was never straightforward and always say in her stomach. He couldn't read minds.

He asked patiently: "Sakura, what's the matter?"

She tilted his head and didn't look at him, just taking out her hand from behind and holding a handkerchief, "This is for you..."

Kazuya took a closer look and found that it was a blue and white checkered men's handkerchief. He was old-fashioned and usually took a handkerchief without using tissues. The handkerchief could be used repeatedly and he personally felt that the texture was relatively comfortable. 

He asked strangely : "For me?"

Haruka has been buying this handkerchief for a week, but has never thought about how to give it to him. She tilted her head and said dullly: "I wiped my nose with that one, so I bought another for you."

It turned out that she was talking about that thing that he gave his own handkerchief to wipe her tears and blow her nose when she cried so much. Although she washed it clean later, she felt that it would be embarrassed to return him back that was once stained with her "smell".

Kazuya didn't quite understand her meaning but still said politely: "It's just a handkerchief, I still have one. You don't need to return me."

"The fact you have one is your business, and whether I compensate you is my business. Do you want it? If not, I'll just throw it away. Anyway, I compensated you. Its you don't want it!" Haruka held the handkerchief and showed it in front of Kazuya, but she tilted her head and seemed a little unhappy. This guy was always grinding and was not decisive at all!

Kazuya was speechless. Why does your tone sound so harsh? Do you want to compensate or not? If you don't want to do it, I don't even ask you to do. An inexplicable girl!

But he thought about it and took it, politely saying: "Then I accept it, thank you."

Haruka was finally slightly satisfied in her heart, so the expression on her little face looked better. However, she kept tilting her head and talking to the air. She was too short, and he couldn't see what her expression was, so he could only ask again: "Anything else?"

Haruka hesitated for a moment and whispered: "And... thank you!"

Kazuya didn't hear clearly. He lowered his head and got closer, "What do you say?"

She raised her eyebrows and glanced at the big head that he stretched out. Her voice was a little louder but depressing: "I say thank you!"

Kazuya couldn't figure out what she wanted to thank for. If she wanted to thank him for reopening the store, her reaction was too slow, right? It has been almost ten days before the word "thank you" passed from her brain to her mouth?

He looked confused and watched her inexplicably. Haruka glanced at him sideways, knowing that he didn't understand, so she explained in a low voice: "I'm just thanking you for what happened tomorrow. It should be my responsibility to run this store to feed everyone, but I go to do my own thing and leave you here to work all day. Thank you, and then... sor... sor..."

She got stuck again while apologizing, but Kazuya finally understood it.

It would be okay if he didn't take over this mess, but if he takes over, he will definitely do his best based on his personality. As for Haruka going to compete, it is a part of normal college life and he supported it. He said with a smile: "Don't be polite. We all make money together. It's not sure who takes advantage. Okay, you go back, have a good rest, and concentrate on the game tomorrow. Leave your family to me. There won't be any problems."

Haruka nodded slightly. She just felt a little uneasy with her conscience. Kazuya came to help her family, but she ran away and left him working with her sisters. She whispered: "I know, I...I believe you."

"That's enough, you must win the game tomorrow! The purpose of the game is to win. Remember to use your personal advantages and don't worry about face. It doesn't matter even if you are laughed. Winning is the most important thing. Do you understand?"

Haruka stood in front of him, nodded, "I understand."

Her advantage was that she is short and petite. It is not too much to say that she has the figure of an elementary school student. Even Yoko, a real elementary school student, is only a little shorter than her.

A normal-sized player would have to kneel down first if she wanted to perform techniques such as reverse cutting on her, but if she didn't care about her face, she could have an greater advantage by using various kneeling and half-kneeling postures to attack. She had been forced to do so before and Kazuya had no way for a while.
