Chapter 287 An Ordinary, Cute Girl

"Dandelion?"

Looking at Hojo Kyosuke's face, Kato Megumi repeated it for the second time, but it turned into a question.

Looking at the girl's rare puzzled expression, Hojo Kyosuke felt cute at first, and then affirmed:

"Ah, yes, when I think of you, Kato Senior, the dandelion appears in my mind."

"Hmm~"

Kato Megumi turned her head and looked at the garden outside, looking at the cherry blossoms that seemed to be glowing under the night sky:

"Dandelions are very fragile, and they can be broken with just a little effort; dandelions are very weak, and they will scatter as long as there is a little wind; dandelions are very common, and they can be seen wherever there are weeds..."

The girl's voice was emotionless, like the science and education video released by the Ministry of Education.

"I do look like a dandelion~"

Her voice was a little happy for a while, but this was very abnormal. The more times like this, the girl named Kato Megumi will be "calm", so that others can't guess her thoughts even if they rack their brains.

"But hey~ Hojo-san, are dandelions flowers?"

Hojo Kyosuke also looked at the weeping cherry blossoms whose petals seemed to emit a faint fluorescence. The branches that were originally wrapped in pink cherry blossoms gradually showed brown. Even if the blooming time is later than other varieties, it is almost time for them to wither completely.

Just waiting for a spring rain, which is the weather that Tokyo has the most in spring.

The girl's brisk voice was in his ears, but he did not respond immediately. Because he was also thinking, why would Kato Megumi's flower be a dandelion? What he felt from others was different from what others felt.

It was not because of his superhuman senses, but because of the "filter". As a person with "Hojo Kyosuke's absolute justice", he was used to looking at the world through filters. This is his selfishness, but also his happiness.

If I tell Eriri that I can smell eggs from her...

"You are the egg, you... you are all eggs in your last life, the life before and the next life!"

No doubt she will be scolded, not to mention Miki's cigars, which she cared about before and almost thought she was pickled by smoking in the early years.

Then, Kato Megumi, this ordinary beautiful girl, this girl with a very weak sense of existence, who is so easy to talk to that people feel that no matter what request is made, she will accept it calmly.

Why is she a dandelion?

What appeared in his mind was not the yellow flower of the dandelion, but the inflorescence composed of countless small umbrellas. Both he and Kato Megumi understood this.

"A gust of wind may not make the cherry blossoms fall, but it is enough to take the dandelions to a distant place that has never been seen before."

He picked up the yogurt in his hand, tore open the seal, and handed it to Kato Megumi together with the white plastic spoon. After smiling at her who seemed a little confused, he continued:

"Dandelions are very tough, as long as there is a little soil, they can take root and sprout; dandelions are very beautiful, as long as you look carefully, you can see the delicate inflorescence; dandelions are very gentle, as long as a small wind can take them to a distant place they have never seen..."

What he wanted to say in his heart was far more than that.

Strange, why did it suddenly feel that Hojo's voice became more pleasant?

The girl was surprised, then scooped a spoonful of yogurt into her mouth, feeling the sour, sweet and soft taste, she squinted her eyes in enjoyment, and listened attentively to the pleasant voice.

"Senior Kato is so easy to talk to, but she is too easy to satisfy, right?

The cars speeding by, the naughty children kicking, or just the exhalation of a breath can satisfy the dandelion's wish.

She doesn't care where the wind comes from or where it takes her. As long as she rides on the wind that rolls her up, she will feel happy."

"It's not happiness~"

Kato Megumi shook her head gently, and her bob shook again. The water vapor left by the previous bath has completely evaporated.

"Just like Kyosuke said, just a small breeze is enough to take the dandelion far away and help her complete the sowing. For plants, what is more important than sowing?

No~

So, it's happiness.

No matter what the reason is, as long as the wind blows, the dandelion will move towards happiness."

Kato Megumi's voice is light, as if the dandelion has already ridden the wind and is enjoying the journey to happiness.

"Kyosuke, dandelions are really beautiful flowers~~"

"Yes, just like other flowers."

The two of them had the answer in their hearts whether dandelions are flowers or not, and why Kato Megumi's flower is a dandelion.

The moon became brighter and brighter, and the soft light sprinkled on the faces of the two people, both of them were smiling peacefully.

Kyosuke Hojo opened his box of yogurt and took a spoonful of it into his mouth. It was strawberry flavored, with some annoying strawberry seeds. It can't be said to be annoying, it should be bad luck, after all, they can no longer complete the mission of sowing.

Not right, being eaten by oneself as food should be their happiness, maybe their life as strawberry seeds has been sublimated, after all, they are noble primates.

But it's too arrogant to think so. Although being eaten by oneself can be regarded as a way of spreading, this way is blocked by the power of civilization.

As a person with a lofty bottom line, Kyosuke Hojo thought hard for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer, so he told Kato Megumi.

"If you don't mind, Kyousuke, eat mine~"

The girl who just said that sowing seeds is the most important thing for plants handed over the in-situ yogurt in her hand. A pit had been scooped out in the middle of the square box.

After looking at the box and then at the white milk stains on the girl's pink lips, Hojo Kyosuke nodded happily.

Ah, the Dandelion Girl’s philosophy of life is really brilliant.

worth learning!

As a result, another item has been added to the skills list of professional traders.

Yukinoshita should really come and see what a real adolescent girl looks like, why do she think so much every day.

The girl with a problem in someone's eyes was looking at the two people on the tatami in the Japanese room. Before she could think of the answer to the question "Why did Hojo Kyosuke dare to flirt with other girls in front of Sakura and Eiriri?" He was surrounded by an arm.

Yukinoshita, who had just picked up Aikido training recently, was about to grab the opponent's wrist joint and throw her over her shoulder. Fortunately, the voice in her ear stopped her in time.

"Ah, it's so dangerous, Yukino-chan. You don't want to give me an elbow in the stomach, do you? I will die."

Sakura murmured, rubbing her cheek against Yukinoshita affectionately.

"No way!"

Yukinoshita immediately retorted. After that, she checked a lot of information and went to a specialized hospital for consultation. She knew that the other person was no different from a normal person now.

"Then let's go to heaven instead, Yukino-chan. Kyousuke will not let go of those who attack me. He will definitely repay me tenfold and a thousandfold! It's so scary!"

Yamauchi Sakura said proudly, even Momotaro felt ashamed when he saw this dog-fighting behavior.

Yukinoshita ignored this criminal statement, nodded her chin in the direction of Hojo Kyousuke, and said:

"What did you think when you saw that?"

As soon as she spoke, Yamauchi Sakura's "Spring Theory" appeared in her head again.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it." A feeling of defeat swept through the girl's body.

"Ah, the smile on Megumi's face is so beautiful. I can feel her happiness even from such a distance. She is indeed my Kyosuke, so awesome!"

Sakurara put her right hand around Yukinoshita's neck and gave a thumbs up.

Hearing this, Yukinoshita was slightly stunned.

That's right, I didn't realize that Megumi Kato, who I couldn't see any emotion from her face despite trying several times, was actually smiling so happily?

The girl's beautiful light blue eyes were instantly filled with surprise.

Blink, blink, Yukinoshita blinked cutely.

Yes, it is indeed an obvious smile.

Are you kidding me? Can people who enter Ruyi Lao really have their wishes come true?

Yes, it was a wish-fulfilled smile.

"Let's go and see what they are talking about so happily. Pick some up to make little Yukino smile happily."

Sakura patted Yukinoshita's shoulder happily, and then took the yogurt belonging to the two of them on the ground in her hands.

"I don't need that kind of thing. What makes others happy may be the same thing that makes you sad."

Yukinoshita curled her lips and followed him honestly.

"Evil-minded Xiao Yukino, you must learn to be happy for the happiness of others~ This is the trick I have learned."

"..."

Yukinoshita, who was still planning to continue bickering with Sakura, closed her mouth.

Feeling happy for the happiness of others...Why does this idiot Sakurara often say such words that touch him?

Is that really the reason?

"benefit."

"Hmm~ What's wrong, Kyousuke~" Kato Megumi licked the yogurt on her lips.

"You said before that the current weak sense of existence was caused by yourself. I felt your loss at that time."

Hojo Kyosuke recalled that when we first met, in that cafe, the girl said, "There's nothing you can do about it if people don't remember me~"

At that time, her expression was a little lonely, a little sad, and then also had a subtle look of resignation.

She said there was no way.

"If there was a way, wouldn't you want to improve your sense of presence?"

Yes, Sakura thought of this because of her previous Santa Claus behavior.

"Increase presence?"

Kato Megumi turned to look at Hojo Kyosuke, and then saw the yogurt on the edge of his lips, and saw him sticking out his tongue.

The girl's fair face turned red inexplicably and she quickly turned her head.

She would not have the idea that "Kyosuke Hojo thinks her low presence is a bad thing." Anyone who can say those words about Dandelion must have fully understood her and agreed with her way of living.

"in the case of……"

"OK! Our service department has accepted this commission!"

Lord Sakura arrived and took over the topic.

"I'm the minister, please stop it a little bit!" Yukinoshita, who was following behind, said angrily.

"What does it matter, don't you find it interesting, Yukino-chan?" Sakura said casually.

“Because people who act in a funny way will eventually become funny.”

…

He raised his little face and looked at Yamauchi Sakura, and then at Yukinoshita Yukino. Such two people quarreling over themselves would have made her feel valued in the past, but...

In fact, what she just wanted to say was, if it was Kyosuke, I would give it a try.

Now...

"Well, it shouldn't be possible to increase the sense of presence. It's a bit too embarrassing~"

If you say it this way, it should be enough. Kyousuke can understand what he means.

"It can be done! Our service department has accepted this commission!" Justice Superman issued an unquestionable verdict.

"ah?"

Kato Megumi's mouth opened slightly, and she looked up at Yukinoshita Yukino in confusion. Didn't she just say that Sakura was willful?

"Hehe~~ Mei-chan, don't you know? You must never use provocation in front of Yukino-chan, otherwise, she will rush into your trap!"

Sakura squatted down, crossed her legs and sat on the right side of Kato Megumi, sandwiching her with Hojo Kyosuke.

"How to provoke generals?"

Kato Megumi wondered, when did he use the provoking method? And Yukinoshita-san looks very smart, so he shouldn’t be able to pull off a trick as simple as the aggressive general, right?

"In the eyes of fools, everyone is a fool, I..."

"Oh, Yukino-chan admits that she is an idiot~~" Sakura clapped her hands and cheered, interrupting Yukinoshita's words.

"you"

Yukinoshita's breathing was stagnant, being rendered useless by the idiot's rogue tactics.

After taking two deep breaths, she looked at Kato Megumi. Sensing the impoliteness of her gaze, she knelt down and sat in front of the three of them.

"Don't listen to that idiot's nonsense. I just think Kato-san is a good research subject..."

"Research?" He was confused and puzzled.

"Ahem, observation. I'm also very curious about Kato-san, why a girl with such an outstanding appearance and personality has such a weak sense of existence."

Yukinoshita nodded, as if confirming what he said:

"It's a good research topic."

So it’s better to do research, Kato Kei said in her heart.

"But my appearance and personality are not as good as you say, Yukinoshita-san, so it's natural that I'm inconspicuous."

He quietly glanced at Hojo Kyousuke next to him with his peripheral vision. Although he had just received such a happy affirmation, the girl said something that was against her will.

It is normal for girls to have two faces, otherwise it would be unfair to the person they like! This is a common truth!

Just like my mother, although she would laugh in front of outsiders and say that her father's salary was not worth mentioning, she would prepare sumptuous meals after her father got a raise. Isn't this a sign of happiness?

"Very good, let's decide, Megumi."

Hojo Kyosuke said with a smile, the so-called service department, except for Yukinoshita Yukino, are not all members of the "Creating Happy Life Club".

After listening to the explanation, Kato Megumi nodded.

"Okay~ I'll leave it to you, Kyosuke~ and Yukinoshita-san."

"When did you two become so close to each other?" Yukinoshita asked, not really curious, but simply wanting to make Sakura feel uncomfortable.

"It's great. None of Kyosuke's friends have single-name names, and now they are finally complete!" Sakura said happily. She didn't know when the yogurt in her hand had been completely finished.

Is this some word collection game? Do we still have to follow the fifty-sound chart to gather all the parts? Yukinoshita thought speechlessly.

"Then let's discuss how to enhance Kato-san's presence."

Yukinoshita stared at Megumi Kato with piercing eyes. She would say that this is a good research topic, not to hide her love for Chugekishou, but because she really thought it was a good topic.

Judging from the brief contact, Kato Megumi is undoubtedly an excellent person, but her presence is so low. With such a low sense of existence, there is no such thing as being excluded. This is completely contrary to her theory that "the better people are, the harder their lives are."

The girl was not shaken in her belief. Just like what she told Yamauchi Sakura before, things that break when touched cannot become a dream at all. She knew that this was just a rare case and could not represent anything. Its only use was to find possible solutions through Megumi Kato.

"First, let's analyze the existing information. Kato-senpai has two most significant attributes, one is a girl and the other is a student. If you want to strengthen your presence, it is most appropriate to start by strengthening these two attributes..."

Kato Megumi stared blankly at the eloquent Yukinoshita opposite him, finally knowing what research meant.

"Wait a moment, Your Excellency Minister."

"What's the matter, Researcher Hojo?" After blurting out, Yukinoshita realized that he had unconsciously entered Sakura Yamauchi's research institute game.

"Hahaha, Yukino, you are already sleepy~" Sakura said proudly.

"Sleepy?"

Yukinoshita blinked, and then felt the soreness in his eyes. Looking around, I couldn't find the familiar wall clock on the wall. But the physical fatigue was enough.

It turned out that it was time to sleep, and the girl suddenly realized. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the living room. She didn't know when the argument between Yinglili and Zhihua had stopped. The two were sitting on both sides of Glass, chatting and eating yogurt. Kasumigaoka Shiu, who was lying on the sofa before, seemed to have fallen asleep.

Oh, yes, from the moment they walked into Ruyi Lao, these noisy guys never stopped for a moment, keeping their spirits in a state of excitement and ignoring their sleepiness.

"Yes, it's time to go to bed. Tomorrow is not the weekend." Hojo Kyosuke said.

"Well, I understand." Yukinoshita nodded, then looked at the other person and stopped talking.

Someone blinked in confusion, and after seeing Kato Megumi staring at him, he patted his forehead:

"Oh, you two's room, let me think about it..."

"You are welcome to everyone's room, including Kyousuke's!" Sakura said excitedly, and there was no trace of sleepiness in this guy.

Kato Megumi looked at Hojo Kyousuke, blinked, and said nothing.

"...You are indeed an idiot."

Yukinoshita helplessly held her forehead, and her sleepiness disappeared instantly:

"But I saw there should be some vacancies on the third floor, right?"

She did know that as a guest, you should not be picky about your accommodation, but it was obvious that what Kyosuke Hojo wanted to say just now was definitely not what Sakurara said.

"No! If you continue to refute, only Kyosuke's room will be open to you, Yukino-chan." Sakura threatened with a frown.

"Then let Kato-senpai choose first." Yukinoshita didn't say much, and continued talking for another half an hour. After all, the target was the idiot Sakura.

"If I say so, just sleep with Glass."

Kato Megumi looked at Yukinoshita, who looked sad, and decisively chose glass.

"Ah, why is this like this? My bed is actually very big. Megumi and Yukino-chan can sleep with me without feeling crowded at all. Kyousuke can testify to this!"

Sakura pouted and regretted.

"Haha~" Yukinoshita sneered, then stood up, grabbed Sakura by the arm and pulled her up.

"Good night, Kyousuke~~" Sakura waved vigorously, and her energetic voice almost drove away Yukinoshita's tiredness.

"OK, good night."

After hearing what the two of them said, Yukinoshita hesitated, stopped, turned her head, and said with a cold face:

"Good night, Hojo Kyosuke, good night, Kato-senpai."

She would actually say good night to Hojo Kyosuke at his home, and would see him as soon as she got up every morning. If someone said that to her in the morning, the girl would definitely persuade him to go to the hospital to see a brain or psychiatry department.

"Wow! Yukino-chan, when did you learn Eiriri's full name game?"

"Shut up and go brush your teeth."

While dragging Sakura towards the stairs, he said good night to several other girls along the way.

Listening to the different tones of good night, looking at Kasumigaoka who looked tired and no longer as sharp and annoying as before, Yukinoshita felt a strange feeling in her heart.

…

Kato Megumi stacked the yogurt boxes that several people had eaten together and stood up with them.

"Good night, Kyosuke."

"Well, good night, Megumi, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow~~"

When she said this, the girl had a bright and happy smile on her face, and her voice was extremely brisk.

After taking the garbage and about to say goodbye, Hojo Kyousuke suddenly remembered something and stopped Kato Megumi:

"Hui, have you told your family that you won't go back tonight?"

In my memory, I only heard Kato Megumi say that she told her family that she would go back later. I wonder if she forgot to notify her.

"Well, I've said it, and my parents agreed."

Kato Megumi nodded, his expression as calm as ever, but Hojo Kyosuke heard the calm "guilt".

"What did you tell them?"

"Oh~ let me think about it... I told them that I will stay at Yinglili's house today~"

The girl's expression was very calm. She had fully learned the essence of the sister who studied at her classmate's house, and she was even better than her predecessor.

"...That's all right."

Hojo Kyousuke was slightly startled, he didn't expect Kato Megumi to use such a little trick. She is indeed the most ordinary girl, completely different from Sakura who would run directly from home to her bed in the middle of the night without any secret.

"By the way, I told my mother before that I wanted to play at the friend's house who lent me the comic book last time~~" Kato Megumi smiled briskly, with a somewhat proud expression on his face.

"Huh?" Hojo Kyosuke was stunned. Isn't that friend him?

"But my mother thought the person who lent me comics was a girl~"

The girl showed a sly and cute smile.

"Hahaha, I don't understand what's going on, but Megumi is really cute."

Hojo Kyosuke smiled and wanted to reach out his right hand to touch the girl's round bob out of habit, but he reacted as soon as his shoulder exerted force.

Calm down, this is not a hard trigger plot!

"Well, after all, I'm just an ordinary girl~ It wouldn't be normal if I wasn't cute."

Kato Megumi clasped his hands behind his back, his smile as charming as the moonlight.
