Tokyo Tutor: Starting with My Ex-Girlfriend's Sister

Chapter 71: Himeno Natsuki's Little Thoughts

Sunday, 5 p.m. Tokyo time.

Himeno Natsuki sat in the dressing room inside the cabin, while a makeup artist did her makeup.

While the maid combed Himeno Natsuki's hair, she looked down and read a cookbook.

"On Saki's birthday, I want to bake a birthday cake for her. Before that, I need to make a few test cakes, and I would appreciate it if you could taste them."

The agent and assistant barely managed to suppress their laughter upon hearing this.

When did the Himeno sisters become so close?

The two saw through Himeno Natsuki's little scheme but kept quiet about it.

"No problem, Natsuki-san. Saki-san will definitely accept your kind offer."

"There's one more thing. I want to buy Saki a gift. Her hobbies are different from other girls; she likes playing video games. What should I get her? Something that boys would like."

"After returning to China, I asked my son what boys generally like."

Himeno Natsuki's attempt to conceal her true feelings is utterly ridiculous in front of older women.

But she believed she could deceive everyone and no one would find out.

[It's so great that Saki's birthday and Kaze's birthday are on the same day!]

[I could ask Mom to invite Kaze over under the guise of celebrating his birthday. After the party, I could give him a gift and wish him a happy birthday. I wonder what Kaze's expression will be like then? I really want to see!]

"Hey, I've gone to so much already. It's time you said those words."

All of Himeno Natsuki did was simply to hear Yamazaki Kazuka say, "The moonlight is beautiful."

Three years have passed, and Himeno Natsuki is worried that Kaze's feelings for her have faded.

This provides a perfect opportunity for the two to rekindle their old flame.

At Tokyo Narita Airport, Kiyoyuki Himeno and her family had been waiting for a long time.

Behind them, the servants, bodyguards, and a photographer from the Himeno family stood in neat rows.

Why isn't Yamazaki-sensei replying to me?

Himeno Saki sighed, then looked up at the time.

It's already 6 PM, why is this family arriving at the airport an hour early? Who are they here to meet?

"Saki, stop playing on your phone, she's here!"

Himeno Kiyoyuki reminded her daughter to put away her phone, but driven by curiosity, Himeno Saki stood on tiptoe to see who was coming out of the airport.

"No, really!?"

Although they hadn't seen each other for three years, Himeno Saki recognized her at a glance that the woman in the middle of the group, wearing a blue dress, was her older sister.

"Nay, Miss Natsuki?"

Uesugi Aoi and Himeno Saki both wore expressions of disbelief.

She even thought about it a little deeper: would she and Saki be able to wear revealing clothes to reward Yamazaki-sensei in the future?

Himeno Natsuki, wearing high heels, walked towards her family. Even though she was still a hundred meters away, Himeno Kiyoyuki couldn't help but open her arms to welcome her eldest daughter.

Despite her mother's tearful eyes, Himeno Natsuki maintained her composure and calmly walked up to her, embracing her.

"Natsuki, welcome home."

Despite her best efforts to restrain herself, Himeno Kiyoyuki's tears flowed like a spring, ruining her makeup. The thousand words in her heart were condensed into a single, simple sentence.

"Mom, I miss you so much."

After spending three years in Europe and witnessing the darkness within the Himeno family, Himeno Natsuki finally realized how difficult her mother's life had been.

It was their mother who acted as a wall, shielding the two sisters from those dirty things, allowing them to grow up without any complaints.

I only got involved in the family's "business" a little, and I'm already feeling this upset. I really don't know how much my mother has sacrificed for this family.

This time, Hino Natsuki returned not only to rekindle her romance with Yamazaki Kazuka, but also to take on the responsibility of being the eldest daughter and to maintain good relationships with everyone in the family.

The mother and daughter embraced and wept, while Himeno Saki stood aside, looking puzzled.

She wasn't moved by her sister's return, since the two sisters, though born to the same parents, weren't close.

"Sister, welcome back."

After a long while, Himeno Saki finally greeted Himeno Natsuki.

Before Himeno Natsuki went abroad to study, the two sisters probably spoke no more than a hundred sentences a year.

"Saki, I came back this time especially to celebrate your birthday."

Himeno Natsuki rubbed Himeno Saki's cheek.

"Did you hear that? Your sister rushed back especially to celebrate your birthday."

Mrs. Hime was overjoyed to hear this. As a mother, she couldn't be happier that her two daughters could love each other so much.

"When are you going back?"

Himeno Saki's words instantly chilled this touching scene.

"Saki, what are you saying?!"

Mrs. Himeno, who hadn't been harsh with Saki in a long time, couldn't hold back this time. She scolded Himeno Saki sharply, her voice even cracking a little.

"Mom, my sister asked that because she thinks I'm too busy with work and doesn't want me to leave. Isn't that right, Saki?"

"Yes."

"You brat! Who taught you to talk like that? Yamazaki-sensei speaks so sweetly, you should at least learn from him."

"Oh, right, Mom, it's Saki's birthday next week. Let's invite Yamazaki-sensei."

"Okay, okay. Are you willing to accept Yamazaki-sensei now?"

Hime no Kiyoseki asked with an expectant look on her face.

"I need to test him."

Himeno Natsuki pretended not to know Yamazaki Kazuka at all.

"Ha! Sister, are you going to test Mr. Yamazaki?"

"That's right! I can't allow a strange man to come and go from my house as he pleases, let alone eat with us, unless he gains my approval."

"Why should my teacher need your approval? Who do you think you are? A queen? If you want to be a queen, I suggest you go back to Europe!"

Himeno Saki Ryo completely lost it. She didn't hesitate to argue with Himeno Natsuki in public, in front of many outsiders.

"It seems you really like your teacher, Yamazaki?"

"Himeno Natsuki said sarcastically. It seems I came back just in time. Who knows what that brat will do to Yamazaki Kazuka in a while," she thought.

"So what if it is? What's it to you? Hehe."

"Alright, alright. Stop arguing. We haven't seen each other for three years, and the first thing we do is start fighting. Can't you two just give me a break?"

Himeno Kiyoyuki felt a headache coming on. She held her head with one hand and gestured for the photographer to come over and take a picture.

"Our family hasn't gotten together in a long time, let's take a picture."

Himeno Kiyoyuki embraced her two daughters and posed for a photo with the photographer.

In the photo, Himeno Kiyoyuki is genuinely smiling, Himeno Natsuki is faking it, and Himeno Saki looks completely displeased.

"You also invited Ke Lian and Qing Yu?"

On her way to the Dragon Stone Restaurant, Himeno Natsuki learned of this news from her mother.

"I've invited them to come and greet you. You'll see them when we get to Dragonstone Restaurant. Isn't that a pleasant surprise?"

Hearing this, Himeno Natsuki felt a sense of suffocation.

My mother has always been like this; she always does things that she thinks are good for her daughters, and then feels smug about it.

Throughout the process, he showed no respect for his daughters' ideas and did whatever he wanted.

Upon hearing this news, Himeno Saki looked at her older sister with sympathy.

The two sisters reached a consensus on their views regarding their mother's situation.

"Natsuki, why are you unhappy?"

When Himeno Kiyoyuki saw Natsuki's impatient expression, she felt very wronged, even though she had done it for her.

"Mom, let's try to avoid contact with Anhe's family. The man in that family is a murderer, and the woman is a mistress."

After the Himeno family cleaned up their act and went ashore, the Anwa family took over the Yakuza empire left behind by the Himeno family.

On the surface, Anhejia's biggest business is immigration brokerage and cross-border labor dispatch. Behind the scenes, however, they have been engaged in criminal activities.

"What nonsense are you spouting? The friendship between the Anhe and Himeno families has lasted for so many years, and you're just going to sever it with a single sentence? Has your relationship with Haruyu also been severed?"

Hearing this, Himeno Natsuki remained silent. If her mother had only invited Chiba Karen today, she wouldn't be so sullen.

But she insisted on inviting An Heqingyu, a woman who usually seemed honest and whom she had once considered her best friend.

But she actually took advantage of his inattention and seduced Kaze during the high school summer camp.

No wonder she's a woman from the Anhe family; she was born to be a mistress.

The thought of meeting An and Qingyu later made Himeno Natsuki's face darken.

Despite it being their first meeting in three years, the mother and her two daughters remained quiet in the train carriage, unable to exchange a single word.

Himeno Kiyoyuki was very saddened by this. Had she done something wrong again?

The car arrived at the underground parking garage of the Ryuseki Restaurant, and Himeno Saki, who had been bored all day, finally perked up.

Even the discerning woman had high expectations for the delicious food at Dragonstone Restaurant.

The moment the car door opened, Himeno Saki, with her excellent eyesight, spotted an unexpected delight from fifty meters away.

"Mr. Yamazaki, you're here too!"

Without a second thought, Himeno Saki ran out of the car and headed towards Yamazaki Kazukaze.
