Natsuki Matsui walked aimlessly and unexpectedly met Miyazaki Ryui. He was in a similar situation to her, and he was upset by the people in the family, so he ran out for a walk to breathe.

"What a coincidence. Miyazaki stopped directly across from her and blurted out.

"yes! Natsuki Matsui didn't expect to meet him here.

"Looking at you like this, you seem to be in a bad mood?" said Miyazaki Ryui with some sadness in her expression.

"I'm sure you're no better off there, right?" said Natsuki Matsui as he saw the depression on his face.

"Since we're all in a bad mood, let's go and drink to kill our sorrows. There's an izakaya right here. Miyazaki Ryui immediately decided.

Natsuki Matsui agreed, and walked with him into the next izakaya. As soon as the two entered, they immediately attracted the attention of others.

One second, they were still chatting, and the next second, they became a lot quieter. Everyone lives in this area, and even if they don't know each other, they are more or less familiar.

Miyazaki Ryui drove a black Mercedes-Benz S-Class and returned home in fine clothes, which spread like ripples caused by a stone falling into the calm waters of a lake.

There are also rumors about how Natsuki Matsui traveled thousands of miles to fish for Miyazaki Ryui...... Anyway, as long as there is a little bit of chasing the wind and shadows, it will become a topic of conversation for everyone.

Miyazaki Tatsui and Natsuki Matsui found an empty spot in the innermost part and sat down facing each other. A waitress in the izakaya hurriedly walked up to them, holding a pen in one hand and a small notebook in the other, and said, "What do you want to eat? What do you want to drink?"

Natsuki Matsui and Miyazaki Tatsui also said politely: "Give me wine, and the rest is casual." ”

"Then come with your best wine, and the best appetizers. "Miyazaki rarely returns, and it's unclear what the food and drink are in this tavern.

Even though I knew it had been here for many years, it was the first time I walked in and had a drink. He said the best in principle.

The waitress hesitated for a moment, didn't ask any more, and then turned around and told the boss. Even if the boss didn't recognize Miyazaki Ryui for a while, he recognized Natsuki Matsui.

He did so immediately. People who have been doing business for a long time are mainly engaged in the business of the surrounding neighborhood, and even if they sell expensive things, they will not deliberately sell them at a high price.

If this word spreads, his future business will be negatively affected, after all, he is not a one-shot deal or a master. The Japanese value a long-term relationship above all else.

In a short period of time, the good wine and food in the izakaya were delivered to the table of Natsuki Matsui and Tatsui Miyazaki one by one by the waitress.

Miyazaki Ryuai reached out and took a whole 1.8L bottle of Dassai sake, Junmai Daiginjo, and opened it by himself.

Natsuki Matsui adheres to the Japanese tradition of taking the bottle and pouring it for the man whenever there is a woman around.

She took the initiative to take the bottle, which was shaped like a gasoline bottle, first filling the empty wine glass in front of Miyazaki Ryui, and then pouring sake into her own empty wine glass.

Natsuki Matsui put down the bottle, and as soon as he sat down, he raised his glass and drank it with Miyazaki Ryui. In the eyes of some bystanders, it is natural to be envious.

When they look at the sake they drink, they feel a little inferior, after all, it is the most common sake, and it is not even Daiginjo.

Anyone who knows anything about sake knows that Daiginjo is the highest grade of Japanese sake, and it requires a polishing retention rate of less than 50% of the rice, which means that the surface of the raw rice is polished by more than 50%, leaving less than half of the part for sake brewing.

The Dassai is the highest level of sake. In the second and third parts, 77% of the rice is ground off, and only the best 23% polished rice in the middle is used for brewing.

In a year, this izakaya rarely sells a whole 1.8L bottle of Dassai sake Junmai Daiginjo in two-cuts. The reason why there is still it in the store is more of a decoration intention, which can be regarded as a calm treasure among the sake here.

The boss doesn't sell a single cup either, only the whole bottle. Selling a single cup of that sake is often a popular sake that is easy to sell.

In this year when the economic environment is not good, the boss does not have too many extravagant expectations, as long as the business can be done, after all, not only are the number of people who come to his izakaya to drink, but the number of regular customers is not as frequent as in the past.

"What are you melancholy about?" said Miyazaki Ryujing as he tilted his head and drank the sake from the glass in one gulp.

Natsuki Matsui didn't drink as much as he did, but he drank about a quarter of the wine in his glass. She picked up the bottle again and poured wine into the other party's empty glass, and said with a wry smile: "I think you are much more melancholy than me?"

"In Tokyo, there are times when I feel homesick and homesick. This time I got home, and something unexpected happened. Miyazaki Ryujing couldn't laugh or cry when he remembered that his mother had clearly told him about the blind date. Although I don't reject blind dates in my heart, I always feel quite formal and serious when I am arranged by my mother.

"Isn't it?" Natsuki Matsui, who was deeply touched, naturally remembered the various forced marriages that the people in the family had done to him before.

"Now, do you know what my greatest wish is?" said Miyazaki without hurrying or slowing.

"Your greatest wish is for the Obon holiday to pass as soon as possible so that you can return to Tokyo. Natsuki Matsui blurted out.

"That's right. Miyazaki said bluntly.

Natsuki Matsui doesn't have his state of mind. When I return to Tokyo, what can I do? I don't have to continue looking for a job.

Even she can't guarantee that the work will be carried out well. Once a woman reaches the age of 30, she will be discriminated against not only in the marriage market, but also in finding a job.

It's just that this kind of discrimination does not appear on the naked surface, it is all carried out in secret. As for excuses, they can always be found.

"You don't have to think too much about it. We will rest tonight when we are drunk, and we will not return if we are not drunk. Miyazaki Ryuai noticed her brow furrowed.

Natsuki Matsui also let go. She raised her glass and swallowed the rest of the sake in her cup as soon as she threw her head up.

Miyazaki Ryujing was also not far behind, and once again drank all the sake in his cup. He is drunk for nothing else.
