    Chapter Index

    Hetty’s emotional state dropped all of a sudden and her tone was tinged with weakness, “Yes, is there a problem?”

    Scowling at Sakurajima in front of him.

    Sakurajima was silent for a moment, followed by a shake of her head, and instead of answering anything, she walked straight into the living room, but the tight squeeze of the magazine was undoubtedly not representative of her agitated emotions at this time, only that Hetty had only known her for a short time, and didn’t know her very well, so it just felt strange but couldn’t find out any details of it.

    ……

    Natsuki Arai was washing the extra teacups, a special guest had come to the house today, and he stood by the kitchen sink, turning on the faucet and rubbing the cups with his fingers, then drying them with a paper towel and walking out of the kitchen with three cups on a tray.

    And in the living room, Sakurajima and Hetty were sitting on the couch, watching the TV as if nothing was wrong.

    Sakurajima actually brought Hetty to his house …… This will be the rest of his life if her fan club finds out.

    Early this morning Sakurajima brought Hetty to visit the door, when he opened the door, Aoi could still notice Hetty’s odd expression of feeling uncomfortable everywhere, but in the face of Sakurajima apricot turned his head and smiled at the question, and forced a smile to respond to, this is to see that there is something that Hetty is asking for her, and Sakurajima dealt with him for so long that he still has this eye to see.

    Without saying anything more, they let them in.

    “What can I get you to drink? I have it at home, cold milk and orange juice.”

    “Orange juice, please.”

    “Not for me, thanks.” Hetty shook her head.

    Sakurajima apricot averted her eyes, “Is it that you don’t like it?”

    “Nah, it’s just that idols need to focus on body management, and I’ve been exercising less lately, so my intake has to be lower too.”

    “Sounds like a lot of work.”

    Hetty froze, two golden double ponytails on her head like antennae sensed something, trembled, and hastily explained: “It’s not that hard, mainly next week there is a public performance, so in advance to prepare for the next, the usual month you tend to use the time reasonably, there is quite a lot of free time can be disposed of by yourself, completely, will not affect your daily life at all. “

    Hearing that, Aoi Natsuki, who was not far away, who took out a bottle of orange juice from the refrigerator, probably understood the situation, and it was almost the same as the guess.

    A deal was struck between the two in exchange for being an idol, but as a result, Hetty might be the one who needs to be the toy that Sakurajima Apricot became interested in for a while, Aoi Natsuki sighed darkly, not wanting to get involved in this, what a sinful woman naa.

    “Woof!”

    At the mouth of the balcony, Yoshi Sauce bursts in with his tongue out.

    With a shout, Hetty acted as if her body had received an electric shock, not only her body, but her two double ponytails straightened out horizontally directly, her hands supporting the sofa, and her whole body kept stepping backward.

    Jijang stood at the edge of the living room, two “wise” little eyes looking straight at the two on the couch, and then yelped again, quickly jumping up.

    “Ah!” Hetty scrambled forward against it with her hands, tilting her head away and squeezing her eyes shut.

    Waiting for a few seconds to pass and nothing to happen, she then opened her eyes.

    Realizing that the big dog was lying obediently at Sakurajima’s feet, crouching on all fours, his chin resting naturally on the carpet, his tail wagging at her, Hetty was outright stunned, this was too much!

    “Sakura, Sakurajima …… the dog is so, so good at listening to you oh.” Hetty asked shakily as she hid behind Sakurajima, her hands resting on her left shoulder.

    “Eh, training a dog is like training a person, it’s not even hard to master the method.” Sakurajima apricot narrowed her eyes and smiled, only to gently raise her right hand that was resting on her knee, and when Jijang saw this, she hurriedly spat out her tongue and climbed up, putting her head up to try to let Sakurajima pet her.

    In fact, humans were significantly larger, both for cats and dogs, so normally when a person reached out to pet their head, they would instinctively avoid the gesture, thinking that it might be one that would hurt them, but the situation at hand was that Sakurajima hadn’t moved much at all, and Jijou took it upon herself to come up to the table.

    Aoi Natsuki, who had poured the orange juice, was not surprised to see this, after all, a person who could study animal skulls, taming a dog shouldn’t be that difficult.

    “Please.” Aoi Natsuki served orange juice.

    For Hetty it was a glass of pure water.

    “Why did you think to come to my house today? And bringing Hetty along.”

    Hetty blushed at that, “Its, actually ……”

    “I was the one who took the initiative to drag her here, Hetty’s a good person in every way, she just usually works too hard, and tends to eat healthy and irregularly, so I brought her here today on purpose, to come to your house to have a mid-day meal and comfort her stomach.”

    “Huh? You two are staying for lunch?”

    “Well, about that, I already told my aunt and uncle last night via text message, don’t you even know?” Sakurajima Apricot smiled faintly from her composure.

    Aoi Natsuki frowned slightly, thinking about it, no wonder mom and dad left the house together early in the morning to go grocery shopping, and even brought Rina along, so it was because they knew they had a guest naa.

    Then this won’t help.

    But Sakurajima was right, turning his eyes to Hetty, the blonde twin ponytails coupled with three-dimensional features were a ceiling presence in the general environment of Japanese entertainment, but in Aoi’s aesthetic, it was still too thin, about which he had mentioned to Hayakawa more than once, or in the context of maintaining good health.

    Yoshizou bared his entire belly for Sakurajima to stroke at will, and could tell that he had been completely overwhelmed.

    Five more minutes passed, and there was a commotion at the door to unlock it, and Mom and Dad came home at that moment.

    Natsuki Arai went out to carry the bags, while Sakurajima winked at a nervous Hetty and went along.

    When the entrance door opened, Rina, who had seen Natsuki for the first time, trotted up excitedly, pulling on his cuffs and pointing her finger all the way out of the door, breath puffing out of her nose.

    Mom and Dad came back with two big bags of vegetables, and Aoi Ryuya handed the heavy one to his son with a smile on his face, “Beef sukiyaki for lunch, oh, look forward to it.”

    “Awwww!” The cool meat-loving Lina raised her right hand high in the air and cheered, and that’s when she realized the two standing in the doorway of the dining room.

    Sakurajima Apricot acted not the least bit alarmed, her face remained calm, “Hello Aunt and Uncle, I’m disturbing you again today.”

    “No no, we welcome you to our home, is this your friend? Just don’t stand there, all of you go in first and sit down, the sukiyaki will be ready soon, now wait a moment.” Aoi Ryuuya’s attention from Sakurajima’s body, turned to fall on the side of Hetty, although the tone of voice sounds calm, but look at her long blonde hair as well as different from the cold white skin of the Asians, Natsuki turned out to know foreigners ……

    “Yes! I, I’m Hetty, this is my first time meeting you, so please take care of your aunt and uncle!” Although Hetty’s mother was Australian, she grew up almost natively in Japan, so she knew all about etiquette.

    Aoi Ryu also looked shocked.

    With that, Aoi Natsuki took over the big bag, and on the side, Rina was still pulling his cuffs, and returned to the dining room together, Aoi’s mom looked like a serious person, and the whole gesture of the person was elegant, but this gesture gave a sense of complete distance.

    In the next half hour, the whole house was a lot more lively, today the sun is gone, the temperature is a little lower, so the living room is on the floor heating, on the sofa Lina took off her shoes and socks, lying leisurely on Sakurajima’s sister’s lap, watching the cartoon on the TV, the serious aunt just now looks like she went upstairs to get something ready, Hetty sits on the other side of the sofa, and every now and then Lina’s little head rubs against the back of her hand. .

    The sound of sauteing came from the kitchen, followed by the sound of chopping chopping boards with kitchen knives.

    Gusts of hot air turned into beads of mist covering the glass, and an aroma of meat drilled into the noses of everyone throughout the living room.

    Hetty’s mood was unexpectedly much more relaxed in such a situation, it could be nice not to be deliberately noticed, and all of a sudden she actually had the feeling that it wasn’t so bad to stay here.

    Eyes noticed the little girl lying very casually, had to sigh, this male life called Aoi Natsuki can be really good, surrounded by girls with such a high value, even a seven or eight year old little girl looks so cute, no less than some of the current circle of the top stream of child stars value.

    Lina noticed the sight and her big clear eyes angled up to meet Hetty’s eyes, and Hetty could only smile awkwardly, while Lina then smiled so brightly that it was almost like Hetty’s heart was tingling.

    What a cute little girl!

    Sakurajima Apricot’s narrowed, dangling eyes focused on her surroundings, her left hand casually scraping Lina’s earlobe with her fingertips, and after seeing Hetty’s strangeness, she spoke slowly, “Hetty, how do you feel now?”

    “Eh? What’s the feeling?”

    “It’s the feeling of staying here.”

    “This …… is pretty good, isn’t it?”

    “Right, that’s why I brought you here, it puts me at ease and makes me feel like time is passing slowly.” Sakurajima Apricot smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth.

    “……” Hetty, not quite sure what she meant by that, pursed her lips and didn’t answer anything.

    It’s almost time for dinner.

    A few people went to the table to eat.

    “I’m going to start!”

    Raise your chopsticks and start.

    Hetty held her rice bowl, looking at the hot table in front of her, the few people around her are self-consumed pinching food to eat, this kind of long-lost sense of quietness, when I first became an idol, even when I ate, I was always being lectured by my manager in my ear, and later on I have always been mainly a seller, and it’s been three years since I’ve come to Tokyo, yeah, I don’t know that it’s been three years already ah … …

    Aoi Natsuki gave Rina her food, pouring dog food for Yoshi-sauce in the process, and at that moment also noticed Hetty biting her chopsticks and freezing, but didn’t try to say anything, the meal was quiet, Hetty chewed and swallowed the whole time, even if she only ate half a bowl of rice by the end.

    After the meal, Natsuki Aoi went to wash the dishes as usual.

    A little embarrassed, Hetty said, “Let me do the dishes.”

    “It’s fine, just sit down and rest, Hetty you have a small appetite.” Aoi Ryuya smiled.

    “Well ……” It’s inevitable that conversations with elders will be a bit formal.

    At that moment, Sakurajima Apricot, who was behind her, leaned up, grabbed her arm with her right hand, and said to Mr. and Mrs. Aoi, “Hetty is currently working as an idol in a girl group, so she needs body relations.”

    “Female group? Eh …… no wonder she looks so good, what kind of group is it? I’ll look it up online.” Aoi Ryuuya then took out his cell phone.

    Hetty’s face instantly reddened, biting her lower lip she looked back at Sakurajima who had a harmless look on her face, she was now slightly aware of Sakurajima’s true character, but it had long been too late!

    “AKB48 ……”

    Speaking in a very low voice.

    “Oh, let me see oh.” Aoi Long also searched a bit, and once he took a look at the online team introduction, he nodded with a half-knowledge, “It looks like it’s very impressive, Hetty how many fans do you have now? Do you want uncle to give you a little bit of attention as well?”

    “……” Hetty’s whole body was awkward and didn’t know what to make of it.

    “A girl group is ……” Ikuko Arai was clearly more unfamiliar with the term itself.

    “Auntie, a girl group is a singing and dancing idol that can sing as well as dance, and is currently very hot in China.” Sakurajima Apricot picked up the conversation.

    “Oh, so young to be a star?”

    “No, not really a star.” Hetty quickly waved her hand, this feeling of being questioned by her elders was not pleasant at all.

    “Is Sister Hetty a good dancer?”

    Hetty had just had the realization that the little girl in front of her had no way to speak and could only express her meaning through writing.

    Looking into her sincere eyes, Hetty couldn’t help but squeeze her hands honestly in her lap, “Not bad.”

    Being able to say that was already considered an extremely humble response on her part; after all, she was a nationally highly voted girl group idol, and her dance foundation was definitely solid.

    “Yeah, so Hetty can you teach Lena how to dance? I can order it on TV, do you want to show off your talent?” Sakurajima Apricot asked with a sweet voice, in the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Aoi, Sakurajima had always been a simple sweet girl.

    “That’s not very nice, Sakurajima-jou, after all, Hetty is a guest.” Aoi Ryuuya smiled and fanned his palms.

    “It’s fine.” The corners of Sakurajima’s apricot eyes gradually lengthened as she turned to stare at the side of Hetty’s face from behind, “Shouldn’t be a problem, should it? Hetty.”

    Hetty was inwardly overwhelmed at the moment.

    She was beginning to gradually be able to understand why Aoi Natsuki would often meet Sakurajima with a difficult expression on her face.

    She’s the devil!

    What a devil that eats people’s bones!

    The whole crew dropped their eyes on themselves.

    Hetty really regretted it now, and wished she hadn’t agreed to Sakurajima’s request without much thought.

    Time passed, and Hetty eventually stood up silently.

    This state of mind was simply referred to as the theory of the value of giving, the more effort you put into something, the more you feel that it exists at a higher value, before Hetty had already put in so much effort just to get Sakurajima into the troupe, so how could she possibly give up so lightly now! Then wouldn’t the previous efforts be in vain!

    “That’s okay, I like to dance too.” Hetty said trying to act like it was voluntary.

    She then left her position and stood in the open space of the living room.

    With a smile on her face, Sakurajima Apricot winked at Rina, whereupon Rina jumped out of her chair and trotted off to the living room to bring the remote control board over to Sakurajima-san’s hand.

    Sakurajima Apricot selects a song to play on the TV with interest, and eventually picks an all-time #1 AKB song and presses on-demand.

    “Okay~ Let’s get started then~” Sakurajima Apricot put down the remote control board and folded her hands together, slightly tilting her head with a sweet smile.

    Background music starts.

    It’s none other than the AKB classic “Love Fortune Cookies”.

    Hetty, who had no choice but to adjust her stance in front of her elders, began to “rub fireballs” in a very social manner.

    Lina was particularly excited to see this and applauded.

    But the Aoi couple on the side had obviously not been hit by the girl group’s dance, and Aoi Ryu swayed his body from side to side and clapped along to the light rhythm, while Aoi Ikuko watched the performance with a calm expression on her face.

    Hetty’s mind exploded throughout the moment.

    I told you there would be a generation gap! Ahhhhhh!
