Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 1001: Has Kato Megumi ever laughed wildly in her life?

The brave princess, who was prepared to die and determined to save her best friend at the cost of her own life, failed the moment she opened her eyes.

The black, fluffy bob swayed as its owner tilted his head.

"When did you come? Um..."

Kato Hui blinked and pretended to recall:

"Probably when you stopped by the pool, Eriri?"

"You've been here since the beginning, haven't you? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻"

Ying Lili was furious when she heard this. If Hui had been here from the beginning, wouldn't she have been thinking about it for nothing? Although it was not a loss to watch the scrolling lights, it also reminded her of so many happy things.

Memories filled her mind, inspiration kept coming to her, her fingers were shaking uncontrollably, she couldn't wait to paint, if only she could run the marquee a few more times...

No wonder!

The point is, I was standing here like an idiot and crying for no reason and was seen by Hui! ?

"you……"

Ying Lili put her hands on her waist and looked down at the girl with the bob haircut:

"Huina, tell me, what did you see just now?"

"Oh... let me think about it~~"

Kato Hui blinked and spoke in a clear and crisp voice:

"I saw you standing here, Eriri, with your eyes closed, your fists clenched and your teeth gnashed..."

"No gnashing of teeth! No gnashing of teeth! My teeth are so beautiful that they can be seen on TV and charm all the Japanese people!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess suddenly raised her hand to criticize.

"Oh... okay~~"

“Mei! Why are you acting so reluctant? Don’t you agree with what I said?!”

Kato Megumi didn't make any special expression, she was still calm, but Eriri seemed to be surprisingly perceptive at this moment. She actually detected "a really troublesome calmness" from that impeccable calmness.

"No, Lily, your teeth are really beautiful. They are small and neatly arranged, and each tooth has a nice shape. Even if you grin like a fool, you are still cute."

The girl with the bob haircut said this quite sincerely.

"Oh, thank you, Hui. Your teeth aren't... who would grin like an idiot with their teeth bared?"

"..."

"Huh?! Turn your head away and don't look at me with that 'who else but you' look, or I'll get angry! Can't you see the pond is right next to us? I can easily summon an army of carp! The Waterweed Manager will spit at you, because he's a super carp that ate a whole leaflet without dying!"

“Wuwuwu——Eri, don’t tear my face so hard~~”

"Humph! See if you dare to look down on me again!"

Kato Megumi, who regained her freedom, rubbed her face with her free hands and said with a pout:

"Oh~~~"

Eriri yelled, "And you're not allowed to turn your head away and pretend I don't exist!"

So the girl Hui's face once again showed the expression of "It's so troublesome", but this time she used all her strength, and Eriri, who didn't draw a good card to transform, didn't notice it.

"Okay, okay, okay~~ I see Lily standing here, with her beautiful teeth that can charm people all over the world shut up in her mouth, and then she lowers her head with a sad face, and says some hard-to-understand words from time to time..."

"Difficult to understand? Like what (_)?"

Ying Lili frowned and hurriedly recalled.

"Ah... well, this is a little embarrassing for me to say..."

Hui raised her hand and touched her face, and a rare and obvious shyness was revealed on her pretty and fair face.

"Hmm? Hui, you are the one who is talking weirder and weirder! How could I say something embarrassing! As long as it's something I said, you can just say it openly, with your head held high and your chest held high!"

Eriri was becoming more and more surprised. In her memories, she had just faced the great terror of life and death, and was struggling between "obeying the promise made to Kyosuke, protecting herself for the people who loved me and those I loved, and looking forward to a better future", or "sacrificing her life for justice, feeling guilty towards Kyosuke, her parents, and her friends, and sacrificing herself to save her best friend Kato Megumi".

Who else but a beautiful girl like me who combines beauty, wisdom, and courage can bear this huge pressure? Who else can resolutely choose to save Hui? !

For someone like me, even if I say something unconsciously, it must be exciting!

Looking down from a high position, Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at Bob-Head with burning eyes, encouraging her to speak boldly.

Come on, praise me!

Staring at her with such scorching eyes, Kato Megumi almost couldn't squat steadily. She stammered and moved her lips several times but couldn't utter a word.

"Tell me, Hui, I can handle it!"

Eriri bent down, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a "princess-like" smile, gentle and brilliant, touching people's hearts and giving them endless power.

She raised her hand and gently placed it on Kato Megumi's shoulder, her sapphire eyes filled with endless tolerance and love.

"..."

Hui turned her head away silently. If she had been a second slower, she was afraid she would have laughed out loud.

Hahahaha~~

Didn't Lily know that she had just cried?

Although your eyelashes with tears on them do look longer, curlier and more charming, and your red eyes also add a bit of pitiful temperament, but your face is full of tear marks, you little clown!

Kato Megumi had seen Eriri smile like this before at school. It was during the school sports festival last year. In the four-person relay race, the girl in the last baton from Eriri's class fell down, causing her class to come in last place.

When facing a crying girl, Ying Lili would smile like she does now and gently use a towel to wipe the wound on the girl's knee.

They were too far away at the time, so Hui couldn't hear clearly what she said.

I only remember that in my memory, Eriri at that time was glowing with holy white light all over her body, as beautiful as an angel.

“So dazzling!”

This is what Kato Megumi felt at the time.

At that time, Kato Megumi didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to see such an expression, but...

Hahahahahaha——

But it's really funny. Even though Eriri's face was covered with tears, she had an angelic smile on her face. It's really hard to hold back the smile.

“Puff…Puff…”

Kato Megumi turned her head away and raised her hand to cover her mouth, making a puffing sound and her shoulders shaking.

Eriri, who was looking down from a high place, couldn't see the whole picture clearly, and thought that it was her signature "gentle smile of the approachable princess" that moved Kato Megumi to tears, so she said a few more classic lines.

Other people might think her words were childish, but they sounded just right to her. Her classmates and friends would say, "Lily, you are so gentle," "I feel full of strength," "Ah, Lily, your smile gives me courage," "..."

That's how it is.

Hey, Hui... I thought you would be the one who is different...

Her heart was surrounded by a faint melancholy, and Eriri's smile became more gentle.

So Kato Megumi's laughter became louder and louder. At first, it just leaked out from between her fingers, but later she let go of her hands and laughed uncontrollably.

This actually shocked Eriri, because in all the time she had known him, she had never seen Kei show such obvious emotions. She had previously suspected that this person was a doll, the kind that would raise its hands and cover its mouth with its wide sleeves whenever it laughed.

The girl said anxiously: "Mei, don't scare me, Hui! If you have any problem, just tell me and I will help you. Even if I can't do it, there is still Kyosuke!"

After hearing this, Kato Megumi laughed even louder, her little face turned red, and even the furry puppy that she had been holding in her hand was thrown aside.

Did you eat poisonous mushrooms?

Ying Lili frowned. She had seen a science program before. There was a kind of poisonous mushroom that caused people to laugh. It was said that the poisoned people would see the things they had always dreamed of. But she couldn't remember whether the mushroom was red or not. Anyway, one of the two must be poisonous.

"Mei!" she shouted.

Hui laughed non-stop with her head down until her legs became weak and she fell to the grass. She raised her hands and waved them left and right to indicate that she was fine. But her rosy face and eyes full of spring water made both Ohashi Junko and the Kato couple think that she must be seriously ill.

"I, I'm fine~ Lily... Hahaha~~"

The girl opened her mouth, but started laughing again before she could finish her sentence.

She fell to the ground, put her hands behind her back, and looked up at Eriri. At this moment, she didn't think that little clown face was funny anymore. She was even touched by Lili's concern for her. But she just couldn't stop. She wanted to laugh, and keep laughing.

“Ho ho ho ho~~”

"Hahahahaha~~"

"..."

Kato Megumi laughed in various voices, as if she wanted to let out all the laughter that she hadn't made in the past ten years at once today.

Eriri kicked Momotaro away and squatted down to look at the guy with the bob haircut. The expression on her face changed like this:

Σ(°△°)→(_)→(_)? →(｀Pan′)

"Megumi! What are you laughing at?"

Ying Lili was so anxious that her chest felt stuffy. I also wanted to laugh. If I didn't laugh for one second, I would lose 10 billion.

After a while, probably the time it took Eriri to kick Momotaro away four more times, Kato Megumi finally stopped laughing, but her fair little face was still full of smiles.

She raised her index finger to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but her big almond-shaped eyes were still misty and her cheeks were cutely rosy.

Eriri blinked, and Kato Megumi also blinked.

After a big laugh, both of them forgot what they were talking about.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Ying Lili finally exclaimed "Oh~" as she suddenly realized something.

"Mei, what are you laughing at?"

She couldn't remember what she was talking about before, so she decided to start a new topic.

"Just laugh at something funny~~"

Kato Megumi said cheerfully. I don't know if it was an illusion, but the girl's voice was not only cheerful but also full of an indescribable smile. But her face clearly showed no expression... Oh~ her face was full of the afterglow of joy.

Ying Lili shouted unwillingly: "Mei!"

"Ah~~ This is my personal privacy~~"

Hui explained.

Ying Lili puffed her cheeks in anger, and finally said in a frustrated tone: "Well, since it's private, you can't tell me, right?"

"It's not that I can't say it~"

"Um?!"

Ying Lili turned her head suddenly and looked in surprise at the Bob Hairstyle that had gradually returned to normal.

"Can I tell you? But Hui, didn't you say it was private?" she asked doubtfully.

Hui blinked: "But Eriri, you want to know, right? So it's okay to tell you~~"

"..."

Ying Lili opened her mouth and complained:

"Even though Yingliang has been saying that you are easy to talk to, this is too easy to talk to!"

Kato Megumi squinted her eyes and smiled. If someone else asked her the question, she would just say "laugh if you want to laugh."

"…During the sports festival last school year, Eriri…you…"

As Eriri listened, her expression changed

“Hehehehe~~ Hui, what are you talking about? The angel thing is too exaggerated! I’m just an ordinary high school girl, just a little prettier, a little more dazzling, and a little more considerate…”

The girl kept waving her arms and patting Hui on the shoulder, speaking humble words.

Fortunately, Hui was already sitting on the grass, otherwise she would have been photographed.

Listening to Eriri's words, the girl with the bob haircut just pursed her lips and kept smiling, looking very gentle.

After a long while, Eriri finally finished being "modest" and she sighed:

"I never thought that other people would see me like this. Being able to bring warmth to strangers is what I have always pursued."

This is a lie. This guy has been a ruthless person since he was young. He is the kind of person who is only ruthless to himself and can stay up late to paint until he becomes severely myopic.

She was serious about disguising herself as a young lady, so her smiles and words were all carefully designed.

If you want to know how to design it, it is not to hire a professional etiquette teacher, but to play otome games, watch otome anime... stop to study and imitate each frame, and practice in front of the mirror until the smile is perfect.

The lines were also modified to be acceptable to ordinary people, and the lines were sorted out to deal with different scenes and different personalities...

At the beginning, people also said to her, "Lily, your smile is a little strange" and "Lily, why do you talk as if..." Eventually, through continuous learning, Eriri finally evolved into her perfect form and became the "sunshine-dazzling princess angel" who could conquer Kato Megumi with just a smile.

That's why Hojo Kyosuke said at the beginning:

"Use this perseverance and hard work in other areas, and you will succeed no matter what you do."

That's why after seeing the true face of a certain golden-haired girl, Utaha Kasumigaoka admired her more and more from the bottom of her heart. She tried her best but still needed Kyosuke's help to succeed, but Eriri became such a genius while playing the princess house game.

What a...hateful yet unenviable genius.

Just now it was Kato Megumi who laughed loudly, and now it was Eriri's turn to smile foolishly.

The guy laughed and patted Hui's shoulders frantically.

What? Hui, you really know what you are talking about!

This is indeed one of the things she is most proud of, protecting herself. (End of this chapter)
