Chapter 761 – Who Chased Who First
As soon as the lunch break arrived, Masayoshi Kishimoto appeared at Makoto Natsui’s place for dinner. Just today, Kishimoto Makoto and Kishimoto Mika also sat down at the table to have lunch with the two of them.
Although his own pair of children didn’t need to have to eat a liquid diet, the dishes on the table weren’t something that they were all capable of eating at their age.
Natsui Makoto had specially prepared a special lunch for toddlers for them. They each held a small spoon above their right hand to use.
Nowadays, siblings don’t always miss their mouths and feed things to their faces. However, from time to time, they would not be able to feed their mouths correctly.
For Masayoshi Kishimoto, this was a point of family joy. For Natsui Makoto, her children still needed to wipe their mouths, hands, and clean up everything for them after each meal.
“Dad, in the beginning, was it you who chased after mom first, or was it mom who chased after you first.” Kishimoto Makoto suddenly asked in a milky voice.
Justice Kishimoto froze for a moment. The attention of both of his eyes went to his son, not believing that it was he himself who came up with the words. It also wouldn’t be something that Makoto Natsui had intentionally taught him to say.
In his opinion, it was probably either words that his son had learned from the television as if he were a parrot, or words that he had heard from whoever was on the sidelines; after all, he had attended an early childhood education class.
After all, he had attended an early childhood class, where the mothers always liked to pile on the women’s words, except for the children around his age.
Without waiting for Masayoshi Kishimoto to answer, Makoto Natsui smiled and said to her son, “Baby, look at how pretty mommy looks and how ugly your daddy looks, so naturally your daddy chased me.”
Justice Kishimoto was not happy, “Why don’t you tell the truth in front of the children? In the beginning, it was clearly you who chased me first.”
“Who chased you first? In the beginning, it was you who took the initiative to look for me. I remember it clearly, it was on a hot summer day.
I was inside a manga store alone, looking at a manga, drinking a cold drink and blowing cold air, and then you found an excuse to talk to me.” Natsui Makoto said seriously.
“There’s no such thing. It’s definitely because you remembered it wrong. I remember that it was clearly you who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with me.” Justice Kishimoto said without admitting it.
“Nonsense. How could I possibly take the initiative to strike up a conversation with a strange man? Not to mention that you’re not even handsome.” Natsui Makoto perked up.
“Then it must be that you were deeply attracted by the heroic aura emanating from within me. It created a not-so-small fluctuation inside your heart, and you’re eager to get acquainted with me.” Masayoshi Kishimoto smiled at her.
“Are you able to be more reliable in what you say? You’re still heroic and bold. Don’t forget that you were the one who stuck around the place I rented in the first place and had to spend the night. It was you, wasn’t it!” Natsui Makoto couldn’t help but fight with him.
At this time, Kishimoto Makoto and Kishimoto Mika had also forgotten to eat. The two little ones turned their little heads towards their mom one moment, and then turned their necks towards their dad the next.
Although they didn’t know what exactly had happened to one of their parents in the first place, they both felt that it should have been a very interesting thing.
“Why don’t you complete the sentence. It was me who was drunk that day. You had to take me to your rented place, then I had no choice in the matter. Who made me drunk?” Masayoshi Kishimoto began to try to remember the past that the two of them used to have said.
“Were you really drunk or not? Or were you pretending to be drunk? To this day, it is also a mystery. The only one who knows is you alone in your heart. Nine times out of ten, this is the little trick you used in order to take the initiative to get closer to me!
Even if you are really drunk, it can’t be considered my initiative. I’m a person with a good heart, so naturally I couldn’t bear to let you get hungover on the street, so I had to kindly bring you back to the place I rented to sober you up.” Natsui Makoto had a word for it.
“For a woman to bring a man back to her rented place, that already says it all. The only way a woman would be this proactive is if she had that one man inside her.
At that time, you could have taken me to an inn and then left! Then why did you have to take me to the place you rented?” Justice Kishimoto debated.
“Because I didn’t have that much money inside my wallet at the time. Furthermore, if I got you a room, how could you not return the money to me in the future?
Besides, if you take you to a room, you can’t tell. In case, in case …… the kids are here, I won’t state it, you know. How dangerous I am!
Even if I call the police afterward, it’s completely useless, after all, even the inn’s surveillance above would only leave me bringing you in in the middle of your drunken state.” Natsui Makoto said in a serious manner.
“You have a strong sense of self-safety! Then you’re not afraid to bring me back to your rented place?” Masaru Kishimoto laughed again and said.
“It’s not like you don’t know that the squatter I used to rent was not only poorly soundproofed, but also had so many people living in it.
Although everyone was poor, they were definitely rich in human kindness. If I were to encounter any danger, I would be able to bring everyone here with a single voice.” Natsui Makoto said without joking.
“It looks like you still miss the place you used to live in!” Masayoshi Kishimoto said calmly.
“That’s right. I can’t deny that money is indeed important, but it’s not the only thing. Sometimes, being poor is just an intuitive feeling for a person.
Before I met you, I didn’t have much money, and I needed to work for more than ten hours almost every day. Even if it was hard, I enjoyed it. At that time, I didn’t feel poor either!” Natsui Makoto said sincerely.
She paused here, and then added with a twist of words, “You even lied to me in the beginning. It’s true what they say, you men are all liars, specializing in cheating us women.”
“What did I lie to you?” Justice Kishimoto said without knowing what he meant.
“You’re clearly a rich man living and residing in Tokyo, and you’re still pretending to be an ordinary social worker who came up to Kyoto from out of town to fight for a living and is just working inside a small company. That’s not lying to me, what is it?” Natsui Makoto said with reason.
“I never told you to your face that I was an ordinary member of a small company, it was you who thought so. Is it my fault?” Masayoshi Kishimoto laughed and cried.
“I blame you. An ordinary woman like me who came out of Wakayama Prefecture, who has no education, no ability, no money, and no family background …… how could I possibly meet a rich man from Tokyo!” Natsui Makoto pouted.
“You this is not just met me this a rich man in Tokyo?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said joyfully.
