Akina Nakamori is fully armed, and such an image appears in the coffee shop. She hung up her changed coat, took off her sunglasses, and said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "I'm so sorry. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he apologized to Shinichi Iwahashi first.

She sat down across from Shinichi Iwahashi, "I didn't expect this, I'm sorry." "I apologized twice in a row, not because I was a few minutes late, but because I was doing something else.

Previously, when discussing a meeting, the two of them decided to meet on the premise that "Akina Nakamori's cold will be cured next week".

As a result, the idea fell through, and Akina Nakamori's cold this time was exceptionally long-lasting, and it still didn't work well to this day.

When we agreed to meet, no one expected this. It is said that it is a little rude to ask someone to come out to meet when the cold is not well. However, since the appointment with Shinichi Iwahashi on the phone about today, Akina Nakamori has been extremely enthusiastic about this day.

In her heart, she ranked the tea shops and coffee shops that she thought were of a good standard, and wondered which one she should make an appointment with. When I was playing songs, I met my good friend Kyoko Koizumi backstage, and I discussed with her which store had a better taste.

Akina Nakamori, a dim sum expert and master of good appetites, talks about which store is delicious and which is not, and this kind of topic is very common. However, it is strange that you can talk even when you have a bad cold.

Kyoko Koizumi was surprised that Akina Nakamori, who was in a state of cold, had such energy to discuss desserts - could it be because she couldn't eat it now, but because she had to say that she was addicted to it?

Friends are friends, though.

Kyoko Koizumi was very righteous and accompanied Akina Nakamori to discuss, and in the end, the two of them always decided that this store in the hill of freedom was the first place in their hearts recently.

The discussion was so heated that even Shizuka Kudo, a former member of the Kitten Club who had been listening a little and one of the current idols of the Four Heavenly Kings, was curious about the store and specially joined the conversation and asked for the addresses of the two seniors' stores.

Koizumi Kyoko herself was hungry, so she simply proposed to go with Shizuka Kudo later. Only Akina Nakamori, who couldn't go to eat for the time being because of a cold, chose to quit the group chat.

A friend is a friend.

Not only does he have the mind to talk to you, but he also has the stomach to eat an extra piece of cake for you.

On the phone before, Akina Nakamori was full of expectations about teaching Shinichi Iwahashi origami, and after that, whether it was making an appointment or discussing with a good friend which restaurant was more delicious, it invisibly increased the expectation of meeting.

Because of this, knowing that it was a little rude, Akina Nakamori was reluctant to change the time of meeting. It's better to say that in this stubbornness, there is also a hidden unwillingness to let the sense of expectation be disappointed.

......

"I really didn't expect it. Iwahashi Shinichi replied.

From receiving the letter to meeting today, for such a long time, the cold has not been cured, which is indeed unexpected. The day before the meeting, when Akina Nakamori told him the place and time of the meeting, she also said that there was no good thing about the cold.

However, listening to the tone of her voice on the phone, there was no intention of wanting to change the time of meeting. However, after saying that the cold was not cured, she stopped talking and waited for Iwahashi Shinichi to answer, and at the same time expressed the intention of letting him make a decision.

This Topstar is neither good at playing tricks, but also knows how to think about others - but, even if he is not good at it, he has a little bit of his own caution.

Her little caution was clear as soon as she heard it. However, because it is so exposed that I don't want to hide it at all, it seems that this innocuous caution is straightforward and cute.

Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't mind that Akina Nakamori has a cold and is not good, anyway, he is in good health, and he has never dropped the chain after running at full speed all year round, and he is not worried about being hurt by the cold that she has dragged on for so long.

As for whether Akina Nakamori will sneeze and snot in front of him, she herself is not worried about the damage to her image, and Shinichi Iwahashi will not take it to heart.

Maybe someone else will care about sitting in front of someone with a cold, but Iwahashi Shinichi is not a real person after all.

He looked at Akina Nakamori and comforted her, "However, because the time is decided by me and you, I am also half responsible for saying sorry." So, it's a draw. ”

Is that okay too?

Got such an answer, Akina Nakamori. However, I don't care so much about it in the end.

......

Although she deliberately chose the No. 1 restaurant in Akina Nakamori's heart recently, she was still in the middle of a cold, so she only ordered lemon juice.

However, it didn't delay her as a consultant to provide a little reference when Shinichi Iwahashi faced the menu.

"The two snacks you served you before were very good. "Shinichi Iwahashi accepted Akina Nakamori's suggestion in its entirety, and he was not worried about overturning at all.

Being so trusted, Akina Nakamori showed a happy little smile, "It's good to suit your taste." When she spoke, her voice sounded a little hoarse.

I've had a cold for so long, and although it's not good yet, it's not as bad as it was a few days ago. Although she looked a little haggard, she was in good spirits, and only coughed a few times occasionally.

The last time we met was in Karuizawa, and after such a while, we met again, so it is said that there should be a sentence "long time no see". However, this classic social phrase was forgotten again because of the apology and responsibility allocation as soon as they met.

When she remembered that she had forgotten this greeting, Akina Nakamori was taking out the brown paper she was preparing for origami instruction from her handbag.

She is full of enthusiasm to be a teacher, not only in wanting to see Iwahashi Shinichi being stumped, but also in the teaching details of this kind of self-contained props.

However, realizing that she forgot to say this, Akina Nakamori didn't think it was rude, but thought that social rhetoric like "long time no see" seemed to rarely say it to Shinichi Iwahashi in private.

Walking with others, when others are present, Akina Nakamori sees Shinichi Iwahashi and greets him, and will say "long time no see", but, when there are only two of them, she subtlely does not have the idea of "long time no see".

It's all by chance, like an encounter in a card game, and this uncertainty makes her more of a surprise of "drawn!" when she meets Shinichi Iwahashi again, than the politeness of "long time no see".

Therefore, from the very beginning of acquaintance, there was no awareness of the greeting phrase "long time no see".

"What is Akina-san thinking?"

Shinichi Iwahashi's voice called Akina Nakamori back from her imagination.

"Huh?" Suddenly woken up, Akina Nakamori was still a little confused, and raised her head to look at him.

Iwahashi Shinichi observed her unprepared expression and said with a smile, "You look very focused...... Did I interrupt any important train of thought?"

"There are no important ideas. ”

Akina Nakamori, who came back to her senses, quickly denied it and handed him a copy of the brown paper in her hand.

......

Shinichi Iwahashi is a very good student, but Akina Nakamori can hardly be said to be a teacher who is good at teaching. Contributed a failed teaching lesson on the phone, and now face to face, and a little scrambling.

She sometimes folded her hand very quickly, so that Iwahashi Tsubashi who was watching couldn't see the steps clearly, so she could only go back and start over, and sometimes she was a little confused, and she had to stop and think about the next steps, Iwahashi Shin waited.

Not only that, but this teacher is also a somewhat anxious teacher, and sometimes staring at Iwahashi Shinichi's steps, he can't help but reach out and correct them.

Akina Nakamori's fingers were cold, and when he was correcting him, his slightly cold fingertips touched Shinichi Iwahashi's hand from time to time, but he didn't realize it and didn't care.

After entering the role, although she is not a teacher who is good at teaching, she is really a responsible teacher.

Iwahashi Shinichi quietly pinched the sweat for this intern teacher, changed his strategy, and quietly took the rhythm of the words into his own hands, from being commanded by Akina Nakamori to slowly becoming him guiding Akina Nakamori to tell the steps.

In this way, the class that was a bit chaotic finally entered the state.

Occasionally, Akina Nakamori has a little itchy throat, says sorry, turns her face and coughs a few times. At this time, it was time for the recess, Akina Nakamori drank lemon juice, and Shinichi Iwahashi drank his tea, and ate some cake by the way.

"It tastes so good. Iwahashi Shinichi praised, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "It's a shopping street kid who is good at tasting food." ”

Hearing him say this, Akina Nakamori smiled a little embarrassed. I knew in my heart that he was a pun, praising not only the food she recommended, but also the feelings she had written about the record in her letter.

However, while she was embarrassed by his compliment, she subconsciously thought of the reply letter she received from Shinichi Iwahashi earlier, as well as the "tasting impressions" he had written about her new single in the letter.

In addition, Shinichi Iwahashi also wrote in the letter that he was going to attend his sister's wedding.

Her mind wanders, and Shinichi Iwahashi enjoys his tea and cakes, with the occasional sweet treat, which is comforting.

Akina Nakamori came back to her senses, looked at his slowly chewing mouth, and then at the cake on his plate, a little greedy,...... But I can't eat it.

I chose the first place in my mind.,I also recommended my favorite cake to Shinichi Iwahashi.,And then watch him eat it.。 In a sense, it's an interesting form of self-punishment.

She had no choice but to bite the straw and take a sip of lemon juice before revealing a sour expression. Iwahashi Shinichi raised his head and saw Momopurashida's brows wrinkled with acid, and thought the expression was a little funny.

Akina Nakamori, who was so sour that her brows had not yet been released, looked at the smile on Shin Iwahashi's face, half of it was embarrassing for her own ugliness, and half of it felt that the current situation was really funny.

At this time, the eyes of the two met. The smile in Iwahashi's eyes made Akina Nakamori also throw away her burden and laugh along.

Iwahashi Shin smiled at Akina Nakamori's sour expression, but he didn't know what Akina Nakamori was smiling at. Akina Nakamori didn't know it herself, watching him laugh, knowing that the person being laughed at was herself, but she was infected by him.

The reason why this is so is probably because Shinichi Iwahashi's smile never makes her feel offended.

So, the two of them still faced each other, looked at each other and smiled.

......

At the end of the break, the origami teaching continues.

"And then, here's how the next step ......"

began to take a little detour, and after being guided by Shinichi Iwahashi, Akina Nakamori finally entered the state. The kraft paper in each of the hands of both sides can already be seen more or less like a giraffe.

The two of them were facing each other, both elbows propped up on the table, hands close together. If someone suddenly comes in from the outside and looks at it, it will probably be mistaken for two hands coming together and fiddling with something.

The origami in his hand entered a state, and Akina Nakamori relaxed a little. The two of them went from preoccupying origami to distracting from small talk.

"I received a reply from Shen Yijun. ”

Since the exchange of home addresses, the time it takes for the letters to reach each other has also been shortened. It is more convenient to send it directly to your home than to send it to the office of the office.

"Shin Yijun went to my sister's wedding last week. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi replied "Yes", thinking that he had written in the letter that as the younger brother of Asako, he had seriously prepared a wedding speech, and he said the result first, "Everything went smoothly in the speech session." ”

Akina Nakamori smiled, and was about to say something, noticing the movement in his hand, first reminding "This should be the ...... here", and then said, "What kind of speech did Shinich-kun prepare?"

Her curiosity was not adulterated at all.

"It's an ordinary kind of speech, because I was afraid of making a fool of myself, and I went to a bookstore to refer to something like "Wedding Speech Guide". Iwahashi Shinichi replied.

After all, it was the first time to participate in the wedding, and in order not to hold back the asah, he also worked hard.

However, for this answer, Akina Nakamori let out a "hey~", raised her gaze, and looked at his face.

"What's wrong?" Iwahashi asked her.

"It's not what I imagined," she said. ”

"Imagine?" "Iwahashi wondered, "What do you imagine?"

Akina Nakamori's expression couldn't tell if she was sincere or joking, "I thought that Shen Yijun would be very comfortable and very capable on stage, and then perform beautifully." ”

"Spare me. Iwahashi smiled wryly.

Faced with his reaction, Akina Nakamori smiled happily - looking at this smile, how could she not understand that she deliberately joked about it.

"I'm laughing. "Topstar's little prank was declared a success.

Shinichi Iwahashi's image in her heart is very capable and reliable, but the more this is the case, Akina Nakamori has a wonderful association, that is, he is not good at expressing himself on occasions like weddings.

Being tricked, Iwahashi Shinichi was a little helpless, lowered his head, and looked at the origami in his hand. At this time, Akina Nakamori noticed his method and hurriedly reminded, "It's wrong here, Shen Yijun." ”

She held out her finger to correct him.
