Chapter 15

"Common color? What color is it?" asked Mashiro confused while tilting her head.

　　"It's the usual color." Ryuji smiled "If you want to know, you have to find out for yourself."

　　Unknowingly, Ryuji stretched out his hand and stroked Mashiro's head.

　　Somewhat unexpectedly, Mashiro did not reject it, but really enjoyed it, showing the appearance of a kitten stroking its fur.

　　"I'm still here for now, could you please go home and do this kind of behavior again," Megumi said softly, interrupting the both of them.

　　Obviously, Megumi has a weak sense of existence, having just been ignored again.

　　"Sorry, Megumi." Ryuji withdrew his hand, a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how long he had ignored this girl.

　　"It is nothing." Megumi shook her head lightly and said, "Since Mashiro is found, I will leave first."

　　Megumi originally wanted to buy something, and Mashiro's search was only a small episode.

　　"Thank you very much this time." Ryuji thanked her earnestly.

　　"It doesn't matter." Megumi leaves.

　　Seeing Megumi walk away, Ryuji turned his gaze to his strange cousin.

　　"Let's go, Mashiro." Ryuji asked, "Is it okay to call you that?"

　　Even though he was the girl's cousin, the two had not known each other for long, so if he wanted to be called by name, he still had to ask.

　　"Yes." Mashiro slightly nodded.

　　As a man, Ryuji took the initiative to take Mashiro's suitcase, it did belong to a girl, and it was a bit heavy.

　　"Why did Mashiro come to Japan?" asked Ryuji on the way home.

　　On the way here, Ryuji looks up some information about Mashiro, a talented painter girl whose work is well received internationally, and it's no coincidence she's the next Van Gogh.

　　Such a girl would have better development if she lived in England, why come to Japan?

　　"Because I want to draw manga." Answer Mashiro as it should.

　　"Why do you want to draw manga?" Ryuji asked again.

　　"Because I like it." Mashiro gave a rather straightforward answer.

　　Ryuji was dumbfounded, did she give up her great future just because she liked it?

　　Ryuji smiled, Mashiro is indeed very strong, in many aspects.

　　The pure reason 'because I like' was what everyone had at first, but gradually lost in the process of growing up, Ryuji hoped this girl would always maintain this kind of innocence.

　　Ryuji gave a blessing from the bottom of his heart.

　　Passing a convenience store on the way home, Mashiro stopped.

　　"What is it?" He asked.

　　"Hungry," said Mashiro.

　　Mashiro was on a night flight, and she just arrived in Japan this morning, so she hasn't had breakfast yet.

　　"Then go buy something." Ryuji took Mashiro to a convenience store, and he was going to buy some snacks for the house.

　　"What does Mashiro like to eat? Ryuji turned his head and asked. But he thought he had found the answer, Mashiro liked Baumkuchen.

　　If you ask why, because she already opened the Baumkuchen and already took the first mouthful!

　　"Um, what are you doing, Mashiro!" Ryuji rushed to Mashiro, but now it was too late, she had already opened the package and bit it, so it was impossible to return it.

　　Sigh, but why did he think that if he sold the baumkuchen that Mashiro had bitten, he could get a good price?

　　Abandoning the strange idea, Ryuji showed his big brother's majesty, and said: "Mashiro, you can't eat casually in the supermarket, you have to pay before eating!"

　　"I understand." Mashiro nodded calmly, as if not doing so would worry the police.

　　Ryuji covered his face "If you want your words to be more convincing, you should at least stop eating."

　　Mashiro bit the layer of Baumkuchen on the outside of the cake, then started biting and eating it into her mouth bite by bite.

　　"Forget it, ask the boss if he can forgive us." Ryuji shook his head helplessly, and grabbed Mashiro's hand to prevent her from immediately taking out something to eat.

　　The boss is a good person, and he forgives Mashiro's behavior under Ryuji's apology. Of course, in return, Ryuji also bought snacks for around 20,000 yen, which was enough for him to make a lot of money.

　　Holding a suitcase in one hand and the snacks he just bought in the other, Ryuji has to keep an eye on Mashiro so she doesn't get lost.

　　He finally understood that Mashiro really lacked common sense. If he didn't pay close attention, what would happen if she was tricked by the fat uncle with a lollipop.

　　After finally returning home, Ryuji felt tired for a while, but luckily his physical fitness was still decent, and he didn't fall halfway.

　　Asking Mashiro to wait in the living room, Ryuji went to the second floor and told Sagiri that there would be one more person in the house from today on.

　　"Sagiri, I have something to tell you." Ryuji knocked on the door and said.

　　This time, Sagiri opened the door directly, but she was still a bit embarrassed, only showing her head.

　　"What's wrong, Nii-san?" Sagiri asked in a low voice.

　　"Like this. In the future, there will be one more person living in the family. It was a girl named Shiina Mashiro," Ryuji said.

　　"Shiina Mashiro?!" Sagiri thought the name sounded familiar, and suddenly remembered it.

　　"Could it be Shiina Mashiro!"
