Chapter 23: Junko Yagyu

"Heave-ho!" The girl carried her luggage hard and came to the downstairs of the apartment. Crystal sweat slid from her fair forehead to the tip of her nose, like dew on lily petals.

"Izumi-chan should live here, I didn't expect it to be so remote." The girl wiped the sweat, took out a pink mobile phone, and dialed a phone number.

In the room, Luo Quan was drinking watermelon juice with her legs crossed. The cold wind from the air conditioner set to the lowest temperature came to her face, making her shiver in the hot summer.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Luo Quan picked it up and looked at the caller ID. It was actually Junko Yagyu. Scenes began to flash back in her mind.

Junko Yagyu was the first friend Luo Quan made when she came to Tokyo, and also her only friend. The two met when they were in the first year of high school.

This is a girl with a very shy personality but an unusually stubborn heart, and she is very righteous to her friends, that is, Luo Quan.

In high school, because Luo Quan's appearance was relatively special, she was often bullied by some bad girls and bad boys. At this time, Junko Yagyu would always stand up bravely to stand up for her, although the final result was that both of them were bullied.

However, with Junko's support and company during that difficult time, Luo Quan never felt sad or sad, and her mentality had always been very healthy.

In short, Junko is a very important friend to Luo Quan.

After pressing the answer button, Luo Quan heard a very gentle voice, just like every kiss from the early morning that a lover misses in the twilight, which will never feel tired when heard in the ears.

"Is... is it Izumi-chan?" Junko's voice carried seven parts of joy and three parts of timidity.

"It's me, what's the matter?"

Junko Yagyu said softly: "I'm downstairs at your house, can you come and pick me up?"

"You're downstairs at my house?" Luo Quan sat up, scratched her head, and said: "Stay there and don't move, I'll be down right away."

"Who's here?" Wen Xia asked curiously from the side.

"A friend." Luo Quan said, stood up, found a pair of flip-flops from the shoe cabinet, stepped on them, and went out the door.

Coming downstairs, she saw Junko Yagyu wearing a light green dress. She had a pink and cute goose-egg face, a thin figure, and was only a little over 1.6 meters tall. She had her own airport at a young age.

Such a pure, sunny, and cute image is the perfect girlfriend in the hearts of most Japanese otaku.

After seeing Luo Quan, Junko Yagyu showed an incomparably happy smile and ran over dragging a heavy suitcase.

"You can come if you want, why are you still giving me gifts? This is so embarrassing." Luo Quan laughed and took the suitcase from Junko's hand. Good guy, it's a bit heavy.

Junko Yagyu looked embarrassed: "Izumi-chan, this is not a gift for you, these are all my clothes."

"Clothes?" Luo Quan was stunned for a moment, looked at Junko Yagyu: "Did you run away from home?"

Junko Yagyu nodded shyly, whispering: "I only have you as a friend in Tokyo, are you willing to take me in? Although I can't cook, can't wash clothes, I will definitely be very obedient!"

Most Japanese people would rather die than add trouble to others, and at the same time would rather die than let others add trouble to themselves. If it weren't for being driven to a dead end, Junko probably wouldn't have found her here.

Looking at Junko Yagyu's watery big eyes, Luo Quan found it difficult to be hard-hearted and say no, so she could only nod and say: "Anyway, there is already an ancestor in the family, it doesn't matter if there is one more of you, come with me."

"Izumi-chan, I knew you were the best!" Junko Yagyu jumped up happily, and then asked: "What ancestor?"

"Enter the house first, talk about it after entering... I rely on, your suitcase is really heavy!" Luo Quan gritted her teeth and lifted the suitcase upstairs. What on earth is in this!

The two worked together to move the suitcase to the second floor. Junko Yagyu followed Luo Quan to the door. Just after changing her shoes and looking up, her eyes collided with Wen Xia who was walking towards her.

Both of them were stunned for a moment. Junko Yagyu asked first: "Izumi-chan, who is this girl?"

"Oh, this is my good friend, her name is Wen Xia." Luo Quan explained with a smile.

"Hello, I'm Wen Xia." Wen Xia held an ice cream in her left hand, and then extended her right hand representing friendship to Junko Yagyu very friendly. Her Japanese is actually as good as her Korean, but the accent is not as well handled as Luo Quan's.

Looking at Wen Xia's extended right hand, Junko Yagyu didn't hold it. Instead, a mist of water quickly rose in her bright eyes, sobbing: "Izumi-chan, how can you be so skilled in introducing friends? It was me first, clearly I came first. Eating ice cream in summer is good, blowing air conditioning is good... Why did it become like this.

It was the first time I had a girl I liked, a girl I could be friends with for a lifetime. Two happy things overlapped, bringing me more happiness. What I got should have been a dream-like happy time... but why, why is it like this."

What is this familiar sense of deja vu? Luo Quan looked at Junko Yagyu who was complaining about herself with black lines on her face, and knocked a chestnut on her head: "Are you confused by the sun? Why do you say such strange things?"

"Ouch!" Junko Yagyu cried out in pain and sat on the ground on her knees.

Luo Quan continued: "This is my childhood friend, I have known her since I was seven."

"Sorry... sorry!" Junko Yagyu hurriedly stood up when she heard this, bent down, and held Wen Xia's hand to apologize.

Wen Xia smiled heroically: "It's okay, hahaha... Luo Quan, this friend of yours is quite interesting, as cute as the high school heroine in Japanese dramas."

Luo Quan said helplessly: "She just likes to watch these girls' comics and school youth dramas without nutrition."

Junko Yagyu stared at Wen Xia and said: "I... I seem to have seen you somewhere... I remember, you are the leader of Sweetgirl!"

Wen Xia smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Ha... it seems that I am quite famous in Japan."

"I love Li Suya in your group, her rap is really handsome!"

"Puff!" Luo Quan couldn't help laughing.

Wen Xia smiled awkwardly: "Suya is indeed the rap person in our group, and the rap part is basically sung by her alone."

"Okay, you guys have a fan meeting first, I'll go cut a piece of watermelon." Luo Quan said, walking towards the refrigerator, cutting a part of the half watermelon she bought at the fruit shop this morning, and then dividing it into rectangular blocks the size of a bottle cap and putting them into a plate.

After inserting the toothpick, Luo Quan brought the watermelon to the two women.

Junko Yagyu asked while eating watermelon: "Izumi-chan, why didn't you tell me when you debuted? If I hadn't seen the hot search on Twitter yesterday, I wouldn't have known about this."

"But those three songs are really too good to listen to. If Grandpa hadn't taken my money, I would definitely buy one."

Hearing this similar encounter, Luo Quan was surprised: "Did your grandfather also travel abroad?"

Junko Yagyu was stunned: "What travel abroad, Grandpa is imposing economic sanctions on me."

Luo Quan frowned: "Why do you want to sanction you? Did you make him angry again?"

Junko Yagyu pouted and complained: "The day before yesterday, I told Grandpa my dream, but he scolded me bloody, saying that my dream was a crooked way, and I must inherit the family sword, otherwise he would cut off all my economic sources. I ran out of the house in a fit of anger."

Wen Xia was a little curious when she heard this: "Family sword? May I ask what sacred place your family is?"

Luo Quan knew Junko Yagyu's family background well and explained to Wen Xia: "Junko's grandfather, Yagyu Zhai, is the current master of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu, and also one of the few sword masters existing in Japan!"

Wen Xia's eyes lit up: "Awesome, I didn't expect you to come from a sword family."

Luo Quan dismantled the stage: "Unfortunately, she has been ignorant since she was a child and hasn't learned even a little bit of her grandfather's fur."

Junko Yagyu's face flushed with argument: "Who said I didn't learn Grandpa's fur, I just don't like to learn, if we really fight, three Izumi-chans are not my opponents."

"Do you want to learn from me?" Luo Quan said confidently.

Junko Yagyu waved her hand quickly: "Forget it, I'm afraid of hurting you, and the place here is too small to unfold."

"By the way, what is your dream, and why does your grandfather oppose it so much?" Wen Xia ate a piece of watermelon and asked.

As soon as she mentioned her dream, Junko Yagyu's big eyes were full of longing: "My dream is to be like Sweetgirl, to be a girl idol in the spotlight!" ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
