Chapter 3 Unexpected Developments(2/2)

Sakakihara Suzu took two steps back while holding the rose he just bought, "This was given to me by my little Lele."

"Xiao, Xiao Lele..." Sakakihara Lele's head was full of black lines, "I didn't say I wanted you to have this, so let me use your phone."

"Why do you want to use mine? Didn't you just buy the latest iPhone? Huh, I don't know how to feel sorry for your sister! Buy her one too." Suzu Sakakihara's eyes were filled with resentment.

"You make more money than me, a convenience store employee." Raku Sakakihara extended his hand to her again, frowning instantly, "Hurry up and bring it."

"So fierce..."

Suzu Sakakihara showed a very weak look. She took out the mobile phone with a rabbit protective case from her pocket and handed it to him. Then she turned away and whispered:

"Besides, it's not a matter of who earns more and who earns less. I buy it for you but you don't want it. And I keep saying that I still want to use what you bought..."

"What did you say?" Sakakihara Raku couldn't hear her murmur, and the cafe maid on the street in Akihabara who used a loudspeaker to attract customers was too noisy. Her little mouth seemed to be moving, but it didn't seem to be moving at all.

Moving.

"Slightly~nothing."

Sakakihara Suzu made a face at him and asked: "What are you doing with my phone?"

Sakakihara Raku said while operating: "Mom has something important to announce to us. Let's go to a coffee shop to find her. I'll search for how to get there."

"Don't you have a mobile phone?" Suzu Sakakihara asked doubtfully.

"Broken."

"The one I just bought is broken?!" Sakakihara Suzu's pupils dilated and she couldn't believe it.

"That's it."

"Your answer is too perfunctory. Or is it that someone is bullying you, brother? Brother, just take me with you, and we will fight back together! Beat the other person all day and night!"

"You guys with short arms and thin legs still fight, forget it."

"Don't underestimate me!"

"You are small to begin with."

"You——! Damn it."

My sister knew what he was talking about and stared at him angrily with her purple eyes for a while before the conversation got back on track.

"Hmph, forget it, I won't argue with you. What does mom want to do? It can't be that heartless man who came back, right? Hum, I'll kill him when he comes back!"

She has always had a deep resentment towards her father who ran away from home.

But girls shouldn’t always talk about killing, killing, killing.

Sakakihara Raku didn't bother to lecture her anymore.

"I don't know either. Mom asked us to go there before announcing it."

"You want to move? When I go home at night, I just listen to her nagging, but we are so poor, what kind of good house can we buy?"

"Poverty is only temporary, your brother will be rich soon."

"Tch," Suzu Sakakibara crossed her arms and glanced at her mouth in disgust, "a guy whose hourly salary is less than 1,000."

Standing next to the vending machine on the roadside, Raku Sakakihara looked at the crowded streets of Akihabara in front of him: "Let's go, go find a tram and catch it."

......

The second floor of the National Museum of Art, Roppongi, Tokyo.

It is a circular open cafe with tables spread out in a row around the curved tempered glass. There are integrated leather seats on the outside and polished oak seats on the inside. The aisle is sandwiched between the bar and the seats.

At first glance, this place may not sound very famous, but if this is the cafe where the male protagonist Taki and his female senior date in "Your Name.", then many people must know about it.

It was here that Sakakihara Raku and Sakakihara Suzu found their mother sitting in the cafe.

Mrs. Sakakibara wore a sunhat with a sunflower on it, a khaki knitted cardigan, a light satin skirt, and even a light foundation on her face. She obviously dressed up carefully before going out.

Opposite her, there was a middle-aged man who looked to be about the same age as her.

"Who is that?" Raku Sakakihara looked across and asked quietly.

"I've never seen it." Sakakihara Suzu shook her head and said she didn't know.

......

"New landlord?"

The two spoke in unison in tacit understanding.

"But even if it's a new landlord, there's no need to call us over..." Suzu Sakakihara whispered to her brother.

"That's true."

"It can't be...the boyfriend my mom is looking for outside...? Why does it look familiar to me?"

"Maybe it's the one you're dating now, and your image will change."

"That being said, I think I have definitely seen him again! He is a very handsome uncle. Then why did mom bring her boyfriend here?"

"How do I know."

"Come here quickly!"

By chance, Mrs. Sakakibara, who was looking around, spotted the two Sakakihara siblings not far away. She smiled and waved to them, signaling them to come quickly.

"Do you want to go there?" Sakakihara Suzu asked.

"What are you afraid of?" Sakakihara said.

"I feel like something bad is going to happen."

"Let me tell you, your intuition has never been accurate."

“It’s very accurate, okay!”

When Sakakibara Raku and Sakakibara Suzu slowly approached, they took a serious look at the strange man sitting opposite their mother.

Wearing simple men's casual clothes, with a cluster of bangs on his forehead, a pen on his chest, and rimless glasses.

He is about thirty years old, and his face looks more like a professional elite.

Mrs. Sakakibara's face was full of joy: "Ah Le, Ah Ling, come on, you two introduce yourselves to Uncle Tianhai."

"..."

Tianhai...uncle?

The two brothers and sisters stood quietly, looking at each other, completely unaware of the current situation.

It’s really a man that my mother has been in contact with.

He has a unique temperament. When I first met him, I thought he was my mother’s boss.

Why does mother seem so enthusiastic?

Got a promotion?

"Don't be stunned." Mrs. Sakakibara smiled and said to the brother and sister standing there.

"No, no need. I suddenly appeared. It's normal for them to have this expression."

The middle-aged man waved his hand calmly, nodded to the brothers and sisters and said with a smile, "We must have met before. My name is Shimonori Amami. I am forty-two years old. I currently work at Asuka Firm in Tokyo and am a lawyer.



——Mom successfully caught the handsome uncle.

——Tianhai? So familiar. It looks like... the twin girls who bumped into me two hours ago are also named Tianhai.

After hearing the self-introduction of the strange uncle in front of them, Sakakihara Raku and Sakakihara Suzu had different thoughts in their minds.

"I called you here today mainly because I have something important to announce to you. I hope you can be fully prepared."

Tianhai Maodian spoke in a casual tone, with a friendly smile on his face when he spoke.

"After all, this matter involves two families."

He folded his hands and put them on the table. Invisibly, his words seemed to have a convincing power.

It involves two families, so be prepared, lawyers...

This thing sounds more and more bad.

"Originally, I prepared a lot of things to say to you, and also prepared gifts...but some things are better explained clearly from the beginning."

When he said this, he paused for a second and stared closely at the two Sakakihara siblings sitting opposite.

"Then I'll make the story short."

For some reason, Raku Sakakibara felt that for a second in front of Shigenori Amami, the air was as quiet as the moment the gavel was struck.
