Chapter 32 Ordinary and common are the perfect match!

……

One evening.

In an ordinary neighborhood house.

Keiko Hayakawa was helping her mother with the dishes and cooking, and the cries of her youngest brother, who was less than two years old, were coming from outside the kitchen, which inevitably became distracting to listen to after a while.

“Koizumi! Koizumi! Stop watching TV! Go check on your brother!” Mom yelled at the top of her lungs to the outside.

“Yes ……”

Koizumi is Keiko Hayakawa’s second brother, and her family is a total of five.

This hustle and bustle continued for thirty minutes until a plate of home-cooked food was brought to the table and the family of five sat down.

With a beer belly and a tie, his father, with a cigarette in his mouth and a newspaper in his hand as usual, picked up a long-poured beer with a stoic face and poured most of it.

And mom continued to watch her youngest brother eat.

Hayakawa Koizumi was still playing his video game with his head down, indifferent to the table of food in front of him.

This is Keiko Hayakawa’s most ordinary home.

She cupped the rice bowl in her hands, her eyes drifting to the broken opening in the corner of the table, which she hadn’t thought to replace after so long of use.

“It’s such a tough job these days, with the increasing influx of talented young people, the old seniority system is getting ready to be phased out.” Dad murmured with a sigh.

Mom coaxed the crying brother, the tone is not good: “Then you no longer work harder, so old only a deputy section chief, I see the president is also to see your loyalty to give you a position, ah, fortunately our Huizi good academic performance, count on you really can not count on.”

Instead of retorting, Dad downed the beer in his hand and turned to Keiko, “Keiko? What’s wrong? Seeing as you’ve been quiet, are you in a bad mood?”

“No ……” Keiko Hayakawa lowered her head and began to pick her food into her mouth.

Keiko, who had always been the most active in the house, was silent today, which was very unusual.

Even the most mischievous brother, Koizumi, stopped playing his video game and turned his head to look.

Dad and Mom exchanged a glance, followed closely by Mom’s raised eyebrow.

Papa felt in his pockets and pulled a small, delicately wrapped gift box out of his arms and handed it to her.

“Keiko, this is for you, to make up for your last birthday present, this is something that your mom and I picked out especially oh, open it and take a look.”

“……”

Keiko Hayakawa lowered her head and didn’t say anything.

“Keiko?”

In the next second, Hayakawa Keiko suddenly got up and stood up, jogging and rushing out of the dining room and running to the second floor.

Went back to his room.

At this point she was in a very mixed mood, the open workbook on her desk had just gotten only halfway through, she picked up her pen, but was slow to put it down.

The whole head was buried below the table, and the mood was like that of a stone that is sinking into the sea is gradually drowning.

Until ……

Bang, bang, bang.

The sound of the door to the room knocking came to his ears.

Two seconds later, a small body quietly opened the door and tiptoed in.

It was none other than her brother Koizumi who had just been playing video games during dinner.

“What’s wrong? Sister?”

Hearing that it was Koizumi’s voice, Hayakawa Keiko, as her older sister, immediately raised her head and quickly wiped her tears, “Why are you here, quickly go eat!”

“How am I supposed to eat when you’re not even eating, yo.” Izumi sat down on her butt on the edge of the bed next to her desk.

“Seriously, I have to do my homework and I don’t want to eat dinner.”

“If you don’t eat your stomach will starve.” Koizumi stared at his sister’s back, then stood up again and walked to her side, “You can tell me if you’re unhappy, I’m your own brother.”

“It’s really nothing, so hurry up and get out.”

“I don’t!”

“You get out!” Keiko Hayakawa pushed him and tried to make for the door, but Koizumi played a roundabout tactic directly with her, jumping onto her bed and circling her.

“I’m not going out until you say so!”

“How old are you! You don’t understand even if you say so!”

“You say it! You say it!”

Keiko Hayakawa tried everything she could, but she couldn’t subdue the brat, and eventually there was nothing she could do.

“Say it, sister.”

“…… Then I’ll tell you what, you’re not allowed to ask questions.”

“Uh-huh!” Hayakawa Koizumi sat back down on the edge of the bed with an excited expression of willingness to listen.

Hayakawa Keiko slowly arched her back like a deflated ball.

Resting his head slowly on the desktop, he said slowly, “Koizumi ……”

“Aang.”

“Have you ever been envious of someone else’s life ……”

“That’s for sure, I just envy the home of one of my classmates, if you have money you can buy whatever toys you want, that’s just awesome!”

“Yes, it’s so nice it, some people have everything at birth, beauty and wealth at the same time, and your sister I, not only weak character, also look so ordinary, sometimes think about it really ……”

Koizumi seemed to sense the sadness in her sister’s tone, and her tone became cautious as she leaned down and inquired, “So is that what happened exactly?”

“Forget it! It doesn’t matter if I tell you! Your sister I’ve been having someone I care about in my heart lately, but he seems to care more about a friend beside me, and that friend of mine is still pretty, the kind that’s good in every way, and I’m not in the same dimension at all compared to her.”

“Ahahahaha, no wonder you’ve started changing your hairstyle lately, isn’t that called losing?”

Keiko Hayakawa glared at him.

Koizumi immediately shut his mouth.

Looking at his sister, who was gradually slipping into depression, he asked a strange question in his daze, “So that person you care about is a normal person?”

“Huh?”

Keiko Hayakawa obviously didn’t understand what her brother meant.

Koizumi continued to ask, “Since that friend of yours is a superb person, is the person you care about an ordinary person?”

“Eh …… he …… is rather ordinary.”

“Then it’s not over!” Koizumi slapped her thighs, then leaned her body forward and said in a firm tone, “Ordinary and normal are the perfect match!”

“You, what are you talking about?”

“Right, you think ah, reality is reality, the frog will not be kissed and then become a prince, fairy tale Cinderella story are false ah! Excellent people and an ordinary person will have a generation gap with each other, there is nothing in common, in the end, it is just either she down, or he goes up, and on the contrary, sister you, shouldn’t you instead be more suitable with him?”

“……” said Keiko Hayakawa, flabbergasted by her brother’s comment.

“That’s why! That’s why you shouldn’t be discouraged and give up, but rather be more courageous! Weakness leads to defeat!”

Seeing a flash of movement appear on her sister’s face, Koizumi rushed to take advantage of the situation and emphasized once again, “Remember my words, ordinary and normal are a perfect match! Go for it sister!”

With yet another encouragement, it was as if Hayakawa Keiko had been spoken to, and the original gloom on her face gradually lifted, and she was in a much better mood.

Koizumi was relieved to see it.

“Thank you ……,” Keiko Hayakawa reached out and patted her brother on the shoulder, sometimes she thought he was being naughty, but at times like this even at only thirteen years old her brother continued to persuade her like a big boy, which warmed her heart.

“Alright, I’m going to get back to my homework, so get out.”

“Then you eat ……”

“Eat later.”

“Oh.” Koizumi answered and turned around just two steps before she called out to her again.

This time she looked a little timid instead.

“Help, help me tell Mom and Dad I’m sorry.”

“Huh? Oh ……”

Koizumi hastily agreed and turned his head and ran out of the room, while it wasn’t long before the voices of three people suddenly sounded outside the door.

“Idiot! I told you to call your sister for dinner, why did you still come out alone?”

“And what did you just go in there and do when you were told to give your sister the gift? Go back in again!”

“What’s the matter, I’m obviously so forceful, you two are too embarrassed to talk about it, but asked me to go, I don’t care, I’m going to eat!”

“You dead kid!”

Listening to her parents whispering to her brother outside the door, a smile grew on Keiko Hayakawa’s face.

Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with being ordinary, and ordinary people can have a light that’s unique to ordinary people.

This, then, is her ordinary and loving family life.
