Chapter 340 Maki unlocks new gameplay!
When I got home, it was already three or four in the afternoon.
The time was exactly as Sawayama Haruno had estimated. Not long after he returned home, he saw Maki and Suguha, who had just woken up, walking out of the room.
The two of them were holding the gifts they had prepared in advance.
"wake up?"
Seeing that they were all up, Sawayama Haruno smiled gently and raised the plastic bag in his hand.
"I just went out to buy some food. Let's eat Sukiyaki at home tonight," he added.
"Sukiyaki pot?"
Miyazawa Maki's eyes suddenly lit up.
She didn't want to go out and suffer in such a cold day, so it was just right to eat Sukiyaki pot at home. The most important thing was that she didn't need to pick up her chopsticks when eating Sukiyaki pot. She just had to wait for Sawayama Haruno to cook it and feed it to her mouth. It was simply a blessing for lazy people.
"Go brush your teeth and wash your face."
Sawayama Haruno put the plastic bag full of vegetables on the table. Seeing that Ezaki Suguha had gone to wash up, while Miyazawa Maki was still standing there feeling shy, he subconsciously walked over and pinched her little face.
"What's wrong? Why do you look like this all of a sudden?"
Sawayama Haruno looked at the other person with amusement.
"Nothing." Miyazawa Maki slapped his hand away and snorted, "I just thought that the ring should be given in person. Forget it, I also prepared a gift for you."
"what?"
Hearing this, Sawayama Haruno was stunned for a moment.
He thought that the limited edition Christmas reindeer from last night was the gift, but he didn't expect there would be something else?
Sawayama Haruno's interest was instantly piqued. Looking at the inexplicably proud Miyazawa Maki standing in front of him, he smiled and said, "What is it? Could it be something like that again?"
"of course not!"
Miyazawa Maki glared at him, then said awkwardly: "It's not impossible if you want it so badly."
".Seriously, what do you have for me?"
"Tsk, it hasn't arrived yet." Miyazawa Maki puffed up her cheeks and whispered, "I bought it online, but it was delayed due to the holidays. You don't mind, do you?"
"No, I'm just curious about what you will buy for me." Sawayama Haruno said very frankly.
It's okay to be a few days late. At worst, I can ask Maki and Suguha to dress like they did last night to make it up to me. I can think of it as "interest" for the late gift. Either way, I'll make a profit.
"It's just a new laptop, forget it. It feels weird and embarrassing to say that."
Miyazawa Maki curled her lips and said reluctantly, "I thought that if you have to work frequently, your original computer seems to have been used for a long time. I think it was bought when I was in high school, so I bought a new one for you."
"Who knew you would suddenly buy me a ring or something? If I had known earlier, I would have bought me a pair of men's rings or a watch or something like that." She whispered.
"What? Are you worried about this?"
Sawayama Haruno smiled.
He glanced at the location of the bathroom, and after confirming that there was still the sound of water inside, he quietly came over and whispered, "The gift I gave you is actually for two people. I also have a men's engagement diamond ring."
Although he has always adhered to the principle of treating everyone equally, excluding Mana's special reasons, Maki is the first girl to date him now, not to mention the factors of marriage and baby. Therefore, when buying gifts, Sawayama Haruno hesitated for a long time and finally bought a pair of couple's diamond rings.
Hearing what Sawayama Haruno said, Miyazawa Maki's heart beat faster.
"I don't particularly want a pair, but since you bought them all."
Miyazawa Maki tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that were raised, and pretended to be reserved and said: "Then I might as well give them a pair of couple watches later, hehe."
Her heart was almost blossoming with joy. As a person with an unusually sensitive mind, Miyazawa Maki was not actually very worried about whether other girls would snatch Sawayama Haruno away.
She was only worried whether her position in the other person's mind was different from that of others.
After all, the psychological trauma of being compared with her sister in the past is still here. Even though she no longer has much resistance to Mana, when she knows that she has something that others can't have, she still can't help but feel happy from the bottom of her heart.
Couples engagement diamond rings.
It doesn’t matter even if Haruno prepared a gift for Mana. He wouldn’t dare to buy her a new pair of engagement diamond rings anyway. So from this point of view, I still win!
Maki's big victory!
The short-haired girl could hardly maintain her smug expression, and she almost had "I am the ultimate winner" written on her face. She smiled foolishly for a long time until she was seen by Ezaki Suguha who had just finished washing up.
The other party asked in confusion: "What are you talking about?"
"Ah, nothing." Sawayama Haruno stroked his chin and said with a smile, "Speaking of Christmas presents, Suguha has received it, too, the necklace I prepared for you."
"Yeah, thanks Haruno."
When hearing Sawayama Haruno talking about the gift, Ezaki Suguha smiled gently.
"I have something prepared for you too." She paused, went back to her room and took out a small box, then handed it to Sawayama Haruno and explained, "It's a pair of glasses, for blue light protection."
Suguha Ezaki glanced at the still-smirking Maki Miyazawa next to her, and then added slowly, "Maki seems to be giving you a new laptop, so I was thinking about giving you a pair of blue light blocking glasses. After all, sitting in front of the computer for a long time to work can cause great damage to your eyes."
"Glasses, thank you."
Sawayama Haruno accepted the gift with some surprise.
He thought Suguha would give him something else, but he didn't expect it to be something from the perspective of health?
It feels quite consistent with the other person's current appearance. After all, ever since Ezaki Suguha moved in to live in his house, she has been looking like a Yamato Nadeshiko-style wife, so it seems normal for her to prepare such a thoughtful little gift.
Although I have the support of the system and I am afraid there will be no risk of myopia, it is a thoughtful gesture after all, and it will not have much impact even if I wear it.
“It’s actually glasses.”
When Miyazawa Maki saw the gift given by Ezaki Suguha, she pouted unhappily. She suddenly felt that the gift she gave was a little hard to express.
But after changing her mind, she focused on how Sawayama Haruno looked wearing glasses.
"Why don't you try it on?" she said suddenly.
"Eh, now?"
After hearing what Miyazawa Maki said, Sawayama Haruno was a little surprised.
However, after feeling the expectant gaze of Suzuha Ezaki, he still carefully opened the box and took out a glasses case from it. Suzuha Ezaki gave him a pair of black half-frame glasses. After trying them on, Sawayama Haruno asked a little uncomfortably, "How is it? This is my first time wearing glasses."
Whether in this life or in his previous life, he has never been nearsighted. Except for occasionally wearing sunglasses to block the sun when driving, he has almost never actually used such things.
Therefore, when Sawayama Haruno put it on and noticed the two women suddenly looking at him strangely, he felt uneasy for no reason.
It wouldn't be really strange, would it?
“It’s pretty good looking.”
Miyazawa Maki stuttered for the first time.
I have seen the usual Sawayama Haruno too many times, and this is the first time I see him wearing glasses. It feels like his whole temperament has changed instantly.
If he used to be a mature and reliable man, now with these glasses on, he looks like a cheerful boy next door. I don't know why I want to hug him and ruffle his hair.
Miyazawa Maki swallowed quietly, she felt as if she had discovered some new world. She might as well buy a few more pairs of glasses for Sawayama Haruno, preferably ones with gold frames, and also make him wear a suit.
Just thinking about it, Miyazawa Maki felt her legs inexplicably go weak.
"It suits Haruno very well."
Suguha Ezaki standing by was also somewhat amazed. Although she had already imagined how it would look like when Haruno wore it when she bought it, the actual impact on her was even greater.
If I had let Haruno wear these glasses last night, maybe I could have held on a little longer.
"You two are looking at each other in such a weird way, forget it I'll just take it off first."
Noticing that Maki and Suguha's eyes were becoming increasingly strange, Sawayama Haruno hesitated for a moment and decided to take off his glasses first.
Seeing this, Miyazawa Maki hurriedly stopped him.
"No, just try to get used to it first. It doesn't have any prescription anyway."
She blinked and said confidently, "Besides, this is the Christmas gift that Suguha prepared for you. You should wear it at least today."
"You wear it all the time? Okay, I get it."
Sawayama Haruno sighed.
He had some idea of the other person's thoughts. He thought that he looked quite suitable with glasses, otherwise Maki wouldn't have been staring at him intently.
To be honest, it was a very novel experience to wear them for the first time. Anyway, they are just blue light blocking plain glasses and will not have any impact on their vision. If they want to see, they can just wear them for a while longer.
"Then I'll go prepare the pot for dinner, and you should go wash up quickly."
Sawayama Haruno touched the frame of his glasses and said with some discomfort: "Ayano Yui will probably be back soon, remember to help open the door."
"Oh oh."
Miyazawa Maki nodded rapidly, unwilling to take her eyes off Sawayama Haruno for even a second.
It can be seen that she really likes Sawayama Haruno who has changed his "skin". The attraction he has to her is no less than the game when she played the role of a sister and brother-in-law.
In addition to this, another reason is probably that Mana has never seen Sawayama Haruno wearing glasses.
Thinking this way, Miyazawa Maki felt like she had won again.
What a win!
"Let me help."
Compared to Miyazawa Maki who was feeling desire, Esaki Suguha recovered quite quickly.
She helped take the plastic bag on the table, then took the vegetables to the kitchen to help wash and prepare them, while Sawayama Haruno slowly took out the big pot used for making Sukiyaki.
In addition to Sukiyaki, he was also responsible for making some other things. There were a lot of fresh salmon he bought from the supermarket in the plastic bag. He planned to slice them and put them on a plate and put them in the refrigerator, and then take them out when he wanted to eat Sukiyaki in the evening.
There are also things like foie gras that require his special treatment. After all, among these ingredients, foie gras is the only one that can be considered difficult to prepare, and Ezaki Suguha's cooking skills are not yet at the level to handle this kind of ingredients.
Looking at the tidy and orderly kitchen, Maki Miyazawa, although a lazy person, had no self-awareness at all. She knelt on a chair and looked at the two people busying around inside with a smile.
"Come to think of it, didn't you say before that you wanted to rent a house?"
She propped her chin up and asked curiously, "How did the talk go?"
"Ah, we're still in contact about the house. It seems the owner of that hilltop villa you like is still undecided."
Sawayama Haruno said without even turning his head: "Apart from that, I did find a house near the port area that looks pretty good, but it's a pity that the house only has five people."
"There are a lot of rooms for five, right?"
While washing vegetables, Ezaki Suguha asked curiously, "Is Haruno really planning to buy a seven-person room?"
She felt that it was not good if the house was too big. In fact, it would be enough as long as it was big enough for three or four of them to sleep. Anyway, sometimes they might go to Haruno in pairs to spend the night together. A small house actually gave it a cozy feeling.
"I'll think about it again. I'll send you the new house I saw later." Sawayama Haruno comforted.
He had a different opinion. As for what Suguha Ezaki just said, he felt that it was just because the other party had lived in the mansion for many years and was alone, so he felt a little repulsed.
But since she and Maki can live in harmony now, and with the addition of Mana and Mine Shiori in the future, she won't feel too lonely even if the house is a little bigger.
Live in harmony.
Sawayama Haruno felt a little emotional. He had wasted so much energy on these things. Now he had finally dealt with the relationship between them. From now on, he just had to proceed step by step.
"Will there be a swimming pool in the house?" Maki Miyazawa asked curiously, lying on the dining table.
She didn't really care about Haruno and Suguha's considerations. She had already won the game anyway, so now she should think about how to live more comfortably.
If it is a villa with a swimming pool, you can hang out in the water as much as you want.
She and Haruno did try to do it in the bathtub, but it was a bit crowded with two people in the bathtub, and they always felt they couldn't relax. It turned out that they had to go to a swimming pool and do it in a bikini!
“You can’t even buy a house with a swimming pool in Tokyo.”
After hearing what she said, Zeshan Haruno said unhappily: "Be more realistic. If it doesn't work, I'll buy you another one with a swimming pool in Osaka or somewhere else."
Judging from the copyright taxes and dividends he is about to receive, he can easily find a piece of land to build a swimming pool, let alone buy a big villa with a swimming pool.
