"If Emi feels happy, it's right."

The mother bent down while holding her daughter in her arms. She touched her daughter's head:

"No problem, if there is really retribution in this world."

"It should be your father who dies first, then me, and finally you."

----------------------------------------

[The next day: In the afternoon, you gave "Hotaru" to Karuizawa Megumi. In fact, "Hotaru" was a cat you had raised in the UK half a year ago, when you first arrived alone. In a foreign country, Mr. Isaki brought you this white cat from outside because he was afraid that you would be lonely.

Of course you like "Firefly" very much. In the six months of getting along with this kitten, you have become very familiar with it. It can even be said that "Firefly" has spent a very difficult time with you. Perhaps it is because of this that you You would choose to give it to Megumi Karuizawa. You hope that "Hotfly" can accompany Megumi Karuizawa through the time when you are away, just like it brought you comfort in the first place, or in other words, let it replace you. ]

["I think this should be the cat that Ryo and I raised together."

Karuizawa Megumi raised Hotaru's little paw. She covered her face with a cat head, and her expression could not be seen clearly. Her hand and Hotaru's little paw danced cutely in front of Kitagawa Ryo's eyes:

"Isn't it?"

When you came back to your senses, you saw Megumi Karuizawa's slightly childish action. Her face suddenly popped out from the side of the cat's head:

"Meow meow meow?"

You burst out laughing, and Karuizawa Megumi pursed her lips with a somewhat dissatisfied look. She held Hotaru's paw and rubbed your face.

In this reassuring and comfortable atmosphere, you didn't even mention Emi Eura. You looked at Megumi Karuizawa who seemed to have escaped the shadow of campus bullying. She was jumping up and down with "Hotaru". , like a lively bird. ]

[The two of you played together from afternoon to night, and neither of you mentioned the unnecessary people or unnecessary things. Maybe at first you just forced yourself to forget about other things and focus on the present, but then slowly it seemed that you really Completely forgetting everything, only seeing each other.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, the two of you wandered into a cake DIY shop.

Because pets cannot enter the cooking kitchen inside, you and Karuizawa Megumi left Hotaru at the front desk. Hotaru could only look resentfully at the owner who abandoned him without hesitation while lying on the sofa at the front desk. The children coming and going came up to pat their heads one after another, as if they suddenly became the mascot of this store. ]

[You who have walked into the cooking kitchen with Karuizawa Megumi will naturally not be able to see all this. Although DIY means Do It Yourself (do it yourself), the store owner may not really witness it. A customer with no cooking experience came in, so a staff member immediately asked if he needed some basic help. After all, making a cake is something that neither looks easy nor is easy to make.

In fact, as early as a year ago, you had planned to make a cake for Karuizawa Megumi one day in the future. It didn't have to be a birthday. Surprise was the most important thing. Therefore, at that time, you had already made a big cake at home alone. Big and small failures, although Mr. Izaki ate them all in tears in the end, you are still somewhat confident about making cakes.

Basically, Karuizawa Megumi has never been exposed to this area. You and she will divide the labor and let Karuizawa Megumi help you. The raw materials in this store are quite rich. You opened the refrigerator and cabinets and took a look at it before planning to make one. mousse cake. ]

[Open four eggs and separate the yolks and whites for later use. You have been practicing this trick for half a year. Remembering the rush of throwing the eggshells into the bowl and throwing the yolks into the trash can? Now you seem to be particularly comfortable. Standing aside Megumi Karuizawa seemed to be misled by your skillful movements, and actually learned to crack an egg. As a result, her hands were stained with egg white, which was so sticky that she had to run to wash her hands in embarrassment.

Put appropriate amounts of low-gluten flour, cornstarch, white sugar, milk, corn oil and black sesame paste aside. You start making the main part of the cake first. Add sugar to the egg yolks and beat until even. Pour in the milk, Mix black sesame paste, etc. and then sift in low-gluten flour and cornstarch.

After handing the basin in your hand to Karuizawa Megumi and asking her to stir, you began to process the egg whites. Beat the egg whites repeatedly until the foam is rich, then add a few drops of lemon juice and 1/2 of the sugar until a white and delicate foam appears. Add the remaining half of the sugar, stir evenly and pour the egg whites into Karuizawa Megumi's egg yolk paste. ]

[It has to be said that in a sense, this stirring action is similar to the action that boys would fantasize about shaking reagent bottles in the laboratory. It has a very magical decompression function. Karuizawa Megumi While stirring, I turned my attention to you who was licking your fingers to check the sweetness. Suddenly, I felt a strange atmosphere that the two of them were cooking together.

"Ryo, I'm done!"

Karuizawa Megumi, who was thinking this way, put a big basin in front of you with gloves on. She was wearing a pink apron. At this time, she was bent over and looking at you who was studying the oven. She felt an inexplicable feeling. My girlfriend feels full of energy.

However, you didn't notice this as you were counting the time. You took over the ingredients and preheated the oven to 135 degrees for 30 minutes. In order to prevent the bottom temperature of the baking pan from being too high, you placed Another layer of baking pan is placed under the baking pan of the cake base.

While you're waiting for it to bake, you also have your hands free to start working on the mousse layer of the cake.

Mix the cream with cheese, add a little sugar and chocolate sauce, and mix it evenly. You should add some rum, but considering that you are still a minor, you omit this step and pour the milk directly.

While asking Karuizawa Megumi to bring the mousse mold, you remixed the fresh cream that has been beaten to seven equal parts. Take out the cake embryo that has been baked in the oven, tear off the parchment paper to cool down, and put it in the refrigerator.

After waiting for a while, pour the mousse liquid into the mousse mold, place it on the cake base and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour. ]

["When did Ryo learn this?"

While waiting, Karuizawa Megumi took off her apron and gloves and leaned next to you and asked curiously.

"About a year ago, but I guess I could barely get in."

"No way, Liang's movements just now were very skillful. Just looking at the production process, the taste is not bad."

Karuizawa Megumi quickly stretched out the index finger of his right hand and touched your lips:

"If it really doesn't taste good, I...I will try my best to finish it."

"That's not the case. I've practiced before anyway."

You guessed that the time was almost up, so you stood up and found a hundred grams of whipping cream, whipped it until it was hard, put it into a piping bag, and stuffed it into the refrigerator for later use. ]

["What pattern does Kei want?"

You closed the refrigerator door and turned around to ask.

"Or write a line of blessing or something like that?"

"But the space is not very big, so I should be able to write a few words."

"Whoa whoa..."

Karuizawa Megumi didn't expect that there was such a service. She nodded her lips and thought hesitantly:

"Does the heart shape feel too cliché? Stars? Origami cranes?"

She spoke while denying, and her muttering made you put your hands on your hips in amusement, waiting for Karuizawa Megumi's answer. ]

["Draw a rose."

Finally, Karuizawa Megumi said this. She seemed to have made this decision after seeing the cover of a book on the bookshelf nearby.

"as you wish."

You take out the completed mousse cake, gently lift the mousse mold, and then deftly frame a rose with cream in that small area.

Cake does not have to be eaten on birthdays. You brought this piece of mousse cake in front of Karuizawa Megumi.

The fact that makes you breathe a sigh of relief is that the mousse cake made by you two is not bad in taste, and is even quite delicious. Although Karuizawa Megumi said just now that it is not delicious, he will finish it, but you The two of them definitely still wanted it to taste sweet.

"Is it tasty?"

"Ah, huh? Yeah."

Karuizawa Megumi put another small piece of cake into her mouth, and the cool and sweet pleasure instantly spread between her lips and teeth. The girl couldn't help but close her eyes, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised. She was stunned when faced with your somewhat teasing inquiry. It took a while to react.

I have to say that eating food made by yourself is indeed a small blessing, a small but real and lovely happiness.

Seeing Karuizawa Megumi's smiling face and slightly bulging cheeks, you also picked up a piece in front of you, picked it up and handed it to the girl's mouth.

This feeding action surprised Karuizawa Megumi. She just lowered her eyes and acted a little coyly, but in the end she stuck out her tongue and took the cake in one mouthful.

Looking at Karuizawa Megumi who licked the corner of his mouth as if he still had something to say, you didn't pay much attention and simply continued feeding.

Until the end, two-thirds of the mousse cake was eaten by Megumi Karuizawa alone. ]

[After eating, Karuizawa Megumi enthusiastically pulled out a book from the bookshelf nearby that didn't look thick and had a colorful cover.

""little Prince"?"

You came up and took a look:

"Have you read this book before? I highly recommend it."

Karuizawa Megumi also snorted and retorted:

"I must have seen it."

Her slender white fingers stroked the pages of the book, and she quickly turned to Chapter 9 in the table of contents:

"The little prince also has a rose."

Karuizawa Megumi seemed to have just noticed this. She read the passage in the book:

"The little prince was about to leave this planet. When he left, he was very sad, thinking that he would never come back. When he watered the flowers for the last time and wanted to cover her with a glass cover, he was about to shed tears.

'Goodbye. 'He said.

Hua'er didn't answer.

'Goodbye. ' he said again.

She said: 'Why was I so stupid before? Please forgive me, I hope you can be happy. I want to tell you that I love you. You never knew this. This is all my fault. It doesn't matter now. Well, I can only wish you happiness. I will never use a glass cover again. '"

Karuizawa Megumi paused here for a moment, as if her nose was a little sore, so you leaned on her shoulder and read by yourself:

"'But if the wind comes...'

'It doesn't matter. I am a flower. '

'What if there are bugs and beasts?'

'The transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly is also beautiful. Beasts, I am not afraid of them, because I also have claws, and I will protect myself. '

She showed the four little thorns on the stem to the little prince. Her expression was so innocent and cute.

'Don't be so gloomy, it makes people feel uncomfortable. Now that you have decided to leave, let's leave quickly. '

The flower didn't want the little prince to see her cry. What a self-respecting flower she was. "]

[Karuizawa Megumi leans on your shoulder, she gently closes "The Little Prince", and puts her hand into your palm:

"I'll be fine in the future."

She said in your ear.

"I, I will definitely be fine in the future."

Karuizawa Megumi's lips were still smelling of the mousse cake just now. She almost kissed her, but in the end she didn't. She just pursed her lips and begged:

"So, don't leave Ryo, okay?"]

The Lies of Autumn by Megumi Karuizawa: Chapter 16: Chatting with Hiyori Shiina

"Has Hiyori read The Little Prince?"

Kitagawa Ryo clicked on Shiina Hiyori's profile picture on social media. Her profile picture was that of a white cat, to be precise, "Hotaro".

As one of Kitagawa Ryo's two few friends in the UK, Hiyori Shiina also knew that he had a white cat, and would regularly like Kitagawa Ryofa's cat posts every week. Later, it seemed I particularly liked one of them, so I used this cat picture as my avatar.

It is now around five o'clock in the morning in Tokyo time, and probably around ten o'clock in the evening in London. According to Kitagawa Ryo's understanding of Shiina Hiyori's work and rest habits, she should have just taken a shower and is half leaning on the bedside, reading a book. Plan to fall asleep in half an hour.

Sure enough, less than half a minute after Kitagawa Ryo's message was sent, Shiina Hiyori replied:

"I have read it. I read the Japanese version when I was eight years old. I read the English version when I was twelve years old. I haven't read the French version yet."

Shiina Hiyori doesn't have the habit of using emoticons and kaomoji, so the messages she sends are basically in this concise and clear format.

"What do Hiyori think of the character Rose in "The Little Prince"?"

The rose was the only rose on the planet of the little prince. Before it bloomed, there were only some nameless flowers on the planet. The little prince had never seen such a beautiful flower. He fell in love with this rose and carefully Care for it. During the days when the little prince got along with the rose, he thought that this was the only flower that existed only on his planet and did not exist anywhere else. However, the rose that the little prince loved proudly repeated Testing the little prince, this is one of the reasons why the little prince left his planet and started interstellar travel.

"Rose? He is a very distressing character, right?"

Shiina Hiyori suddenly became excited once she started talking about books, and her messages quickly hit Kitagawa Ryo like a barrage.

"About the tragedy of love, there are generally four common ways of writing:

First, a love affair that ends before it even begins.

Second, a permanent miss that could have been avoided by just a tiny margin.

Third, it is a major contribution that is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the other party. "

"as well as."

Shiina Hiyori paused for a while before slowly uttering the last message:

"It was only a long time later that I realized what I had really lost."

"Looking at it this way, all four roses are actually occupied."

"She and the little prince had a crush on each other, but she didn't really say 'I love you' until the little prince decided to leave; the little prince poured water on her to make a glass dome, and she dressed herself up seriously every day for the little prince, but neither party did it. He felt that the other person had paid something for him; in the end, it was not until the little prince came to the earth and met the fox that he discovered that he had already reached a domesticated relationship with this rose. They were each other's only one, each other's world."

"But the little prince has no way to return to his own planet to see this rose."

Shiina Hiyori seemed not to have had enough. She almost subconsciously typed her thoughts into words and sent them to Kitagawa Ryo:

"Is it convenient to make a call from Beichuan-kun?"
