Chapter 35: Honoka Meeting Shigure
Kenichi has went to the dojo yesterday and Honoka wants to see how he is doing there but the real reason is she wants to meet her second sister-in-law that also live's in the dojo.
"Mommy's lunchbox check, chocolate check, Candie's check" said Honoka as she kept
"Honoka aren't you just going to meet your onii-chan and Miu-chan why are you taking so many things" asked Saori
"It's ok Mom I think onii-chan must be missing your cooking that's all" Honoka said.
After going out of the house Honoka went towards Ryozanpaku Dojo to meet his second sister-in-law.
"Aww man the gate is closed" Honoka said
She then used a dustbin to look over the wall but at the same time from the other side Apachai herd some noise so he also looked over the wall and both saw each others face.
"Aaahhhh" "Aaahhhh" shouted Honoka and Apachai at the same time and ducked there head's so that they could not be seen by the other.
Honoka jumped down from the dustbin and hid behind the electrical pole and looked towards the gate of Ryozanpaku. Apachai opened the door only a little to find out who the person was but saw the little Honoka so he stepped back leaving the gate open.
When Honoka saw the gate open though only a little she went through that small crack and entered the Ryozanpaku Dojo.
"Yes, I finally entered" she thought
But behind her was standing a tall mountain who was eager to introduce himself. When Honoka saw a big shadow infront of her she turned and looked at Apachai and got scared.
"Hi, I am Apachai" he said
"Special technique, chocolate and cookies attack" Honoka said as she throwed chocolate and cookies from his bag towards Apachai who jumped towards them to eat them.
"Carefully slowly" Honoka thought as she slowly went away from Apachai but he once again came in front of her and said "Hi, I am Apachai" and Honoka once again throwed some snacks towards him so she could run away.
Just like this there little drama kept going on until Honoka was only left with her brothers favourite fish soup and mothers bento box.
"Oh no I only have brothers favourite fish and mothers bento which I can't loose, for now strategic retreat" Honoka thought in her mind then ran towards the wall of Ryozanpaku Dojo and jumped up to cross the wall.
But the top of the walls were made with tiles and as Honoka was holding onto one of them while climbing it came off in her hand and she fell backwards. Apachai jumped in and save her from falling on the ground and picked her up so that she could cross the wall.
"Uhn.... you are a nice guy, I thought you were scary as you were so huge but now I know you shouldn't judge someone from his appearance, Ok you will help me to find my nii-chan and second sister-in-law" Honoka said as she sat on Apachai's shoulders.
"Second sister-in-law!?" Apachai asked
"Ah.. there must another girl other than Miu-nee Chan right I am talking about her" Honoka said.
"Oh Shigure" Apachai said then he jumped up in the air and went on the rooftop of the dojo.
"Waahh.." shouted Honoka when Apachai jumped up and when she saw that they were on the roof "Did we just fly in the air" she thought
After looking around for sometime Apachai jumped down and said "It will be hard to find her if she doesn't show herself on her own"
Honoka was also looking left and right when she felt something in her bag move so she looked at it and saw a mouse taking out his brothers Fish soup from her bag.
"That mouse took my Big brother's fish soup" Honoka shouted.
"Ah! it's Shigure's theif Rat I am always blamed for its theivings" Apachai said as he saw the rat run towards a woman and climbing up to her shoulders that women was Shigure.
"Who... are you?" asked Shigure
When Honoka saw Shigure she knew that this babe was her second sister-in-law "I am Honoka Shirahama little sister of Kenichi Shirahama are you my Nii-chan's girlfriend" Honoka said.
Shigure was stunned when she herd what Honoka said but still nodded her head while blushing.
"Yea I got another onee-chan, I can call you that right" Honoka asked
"Yes" Shigure said.
After making Honoka sit in the living room Shigure and Apachai went to find tea leaves.
"Where are the tea leaves" Apachai said.
"I don't know, I saw Miu making some in the morning" Shigure said
"I found the tea bowl" Apachai said as he picked up a small fish bowl.
"Is this...tea leaves" Shigure asked as she held onto the bottle of sea weeds.
"After that we only need to boil it with water" Shigure said as she along with Apachai putted the fishbowl filled with water and sea weeds on the gas and started to boil it.
"It's easier than I thought" Apachai said
After 2-3 minutes a fishbowl filled with boiled water and sea weeds was kept infront of Honoka.
"What is it?" Honoka asked.
""It's tea... right?"" asked Shigure and Apachai being very nervous.
"Why are you guys asking me?" Honoka said.
"Listen tea is made like this..." and showed the whole process of making tea to the two of them.
""You are great"" said Shigure and Apachai.
"Amazing" "fantastic" were the words coming out of the mouth of the two of them.
"It's alright but still Shigure-nee chan you should atleast know how to make a tea if nothing else to impress mother, though I know you're looks will be more than enough for her to accept you but still it will be good if you know how to make tea" Honoka said.
"Pang" Honoka's word were like a bell in Shigure's which made her realise what she has to do so that her dream which Kenichi has given her could be completed.
Kenichi and Miu came from the shopping and herd some noise from inside the dojo.
"Huh did we have a guest" Miu said as both of them entered the living room of the dojo and saw Honoka talking with Apachai and Shigure.
"Ara Honoka-chan" Miu said.
Ahh... Miu-nee and onii-chan came" Honoka said as she jumped and hugged both of them together.
"Aww so cute" Miu said.
Why did you came Honoka?" Kenichi asked.
"I came to meet Shigure-nee and also brought your favourite fish soup and mothers bento but the rat took the fish soup so here take mothers bento" Honoka said as she gave the bento to Kenichi.
"Well thank you Honoka now go home, I remember you had your tennis practice today so don't ditch it ok" Kenichi said while patting Honoka's head.
"Ok onii-chan I am going bye, bye Miu-nee, bye Shigure-nee, bye Hopachai-san" Honoka said as she ran towards the door.
"""Bye-bye""" Kenichi, Miu and Shigure said
"Come back to meet Hopachai again" Apachai said.
