Since it's a birthday party gift, it's impossible to deal with it casually, it's not the same as giving a birthday gift in private, but you have to take it out in public... Although you can also use a box as a disguise, but if the thing wrapped in the box is just casually dealt with, such as a gift such as a comic book that you don't like, and it happens to be opened by the owner, and then it is watched by everyone, and finally becomes a person who is said to "don't understand the rules" or something, and it makes the atmosphere very embarrassing, it is better not to happen.

So, even if I don't want to, I'll rack my brains to think about what to send.... However, as the eldest lady of the Xuexia family, there is no shortage of material things, and I don't know what her preferences will be, just from the analysis of the time I have been in contact with her, there is no useful information at all. Then again, this kind of thing is basically a test of my mental endurance, a birthday party or something... I haven't participated in it once, and no one will invite me to participate, and of course I don't know what events will be, I don't know anything about etiquette, and even if I give gifts, the number of times is limited, except for Komachi... It's only Yuhihama and under the snow, both of which are sent in informal settings....

When it comes to buying gifts, of course, it is most convenient in this kind of shopping mall where you can buy everything as long as you have money, but it is really a shame that Hayama directly set the meeting place here, saving the extra distance.

I followed Hayama to the department store on the second floor, and there were a lot of people on the rest day, but I didn't feel that it was very crowded, after all, there were many stores here, and if you split the customers, it didn't seem to be too much.

Came to a store specializing in jewelry, Hayama stopped in front of the window, carefully selected the jewelry in the window, it seems that this is the kind of gift he has determined? Well, what kind of necklaces, bracelets, rings and other accessories are expensive...

[What an accident, that Yang Nai likes these things?]

Hearing my exclamation, Hayama was slightly stunned, and looked at me puzzled.

[She likes this shiny thing?] It's incredible. As a very dazzling existence in the eyes of everyone, I don't usually see how she dresses up.... You like this kind of thing? Surprisingly... But it's understandable, after all, if she is classified physiologically, she is also a woman, and liking these things may just be out of nature. And Hayama should know very well what she likes, so she came here directly, right?

Unexpectedly, Ye Shan shook his head at me, denied my conjecture, gently touched the glass of the window with his hand, looked at the platinum necklace in the middle, and said with some bitterness and a little nostalgia

[No, these aren't what she likes, at least...] Not anymore...]

Now it's not... So I used to like it? I feel like their relationship is a little complicated...

After a brief silence, Hayama smiled at me and said [Sorry, I remembered some of the past...]

[Oh...] Is it about Yono and his past... I'm a little interested... [So, can I ask a little bit...] Hmm, for reference... Miss Yono's current preferences are...] This kind of clueless thing... Just ask.

[Hey....] He shook his head again, looking very lost and helpless, and the whole person suddenly lost [she... It's changed a lot, compared to before. ]

Is this an answer to my "I don't know" from the side? It's getting more and more curious... These two people. Don't even know about him... Then this is a problem. Of course, maybe under the snow will know ... What should I do? Do you want to call and ask? I held my phone in my pocket, hesitated for a few seconds, and then let go... Still don't want to.

[Well,Actually, there's no need to give her something she likes.]

[Huh?]

When I said something suddenly, Hayama looked at me in surprise.

[It's hard for us ordinary people to figure out the psychology of her kind of person, and she can't get an answer if she doesn't speak herself, so let's give up.] ]

He looked a little confused after listening to my words, but it was only for a moment that he returned to normal [give up... No, if you think about it, you should have some clues, right?]

If she chooses to commit a crime, then the crime solving rate in Japan will have to drop a lot, this is the guy's god-like camouflage skills, and Xuexia's preferences are so completely different, even if she encounters something she likes very much, she will not have any special actions, and when necessary, she can forget it very ordinarily, which is also one of her most terrifying skills. If you easily expose the flaws, it can only be a trap, and chasing after the wind and shadows will only be disgusted by her.]

Hayama frowned, and he stopped talking, and finally laughed miserably. It seems that you... I know her better than I do..]

[This has nothing to do with understanding.,Just made the judgment that best fits the situation] That's right, through contact with her, even if it's brief, you can clearly feel her unadorned ridicule and cold eyes on things she dislikes, so... [For people, it's not just about getting something they like, like a guy who likes blue but hates black, and if you give her a red hat or something on her birthday, she'll be happy too, right? So, we just need to know what she hates, rule it out, and then it's up to us to decide what gift to choose.]

After listening to my analysis blankly, Ye Shan looked a little depressed, and he didn't know why, and then said to me with a wry smile

[It's really... In line with your behavior style, than Qi Gu Jun... But that's the only way to do it...]

[So, let's take our own picks.] ]

In this case, it doesn't make much difference for the two of them to be together, it's better to be more efficient to be separated, and it is impossible for me and Hayama to buy the same gift.... But then again, it's the two big boys who go shopping together is the biggest problem.

[eh, not together?]

Hayama looked at me with a surprised expression... Hey, what are you? There's no need to be so surprised, is it?

[The two of us have different standards of judgment, and it is impossible for us to be together to help.] For the sake of efficiency, it would be better to go separately.]

When did Hayama become such a mother-in-law?No, he's kind of a very assertive person at school, how did he do it? Feel... Something strange.

[Oh, too...] All right. ]

Although it was agreed... But Hayama, is it necessary to be so lost... Is it really necessary? After all, it's just going to buy a gift for someone else... It's not a special thing... Where's your disguise, give me a good job!

[Whew...] I exhaled softly, and was about to turn around to part with him, but was stopped again.

[Wait, Biqi Tani-kun.] ]

[.... What else?]

[Ah~ Where should I meet after buying something?] At this time, he returned to his usual state, scratching his head with his hand and asking with a smile.

I almost forgot, this was just one of his commissions... I was going to buy a gift and go back... No way..

[There is an ice cream shop "Summerice" on the first floor, so let's go there]

Hayama took out his phone and confirmed the time [Well, it's half past nine... So whether you buy it or not, will you be there at half past eleven?]

[Oh, okay.]

All these inconsequential things are fine, and now one of my biggest doubts is.... Why do you have to come early today to buy a gift when the party is still going on in two weeks? But judging by my experience with his question, there is a 90% chance that this kind of question will be prevaricated by an inexplicable answer... Never mind.

When I came down from the fourth floor to buy gifts, it was already eleven twenty-five, and it was almost time for the meeting. Hurry up and grab the shopping bag in your hand and walk to the meeting place.

Walking into the store, Hayama was already waiting for me at the four-person table near the window, there was a teacup on the table, and there were two shopping bags on the chair next to it, it seemed that I had bought it, but... Why two?

I walked over and sat down across from him.

After seeing me sit down, Hayama first called the waiter, and then asked me [You also bought it?]

I put my shopping bag on the chair and leaned back a little bit, a little more away from the table so that the airflow from the air conditioner could take the heat away from my body more smoothly. Because I went a little fast just now, I need to dissipate heat now.

[What do you want to drink?, I'm in for a treat.]

[Oh, you're welcome, let's have an iced coffee, four pieces of sugar] said to the waiter next to him.

I wanted to order it myself, but since he said it, he would take it by the way, who called me out on Sunday?

After a while, the waiter brought me an iced coffee, which I personally wouldn't drink except for MAX, but now I really don't want to go to the vending machine, so I can just add more sugar.

Took a sip .... It feels okay, not as bitter as black coffee. After a short break, I'm ready to get down to business

[Okay, now can you tell us about your commission?]

Hayama put down the teacup in his hand and sat up a little more upright [Don't rush first, let's eat something, I ordered two set meals at KFC opposite, and then there is a place to go....] After speaking, as if thinking of something, he shook his head slightly, smiled bitterly, closed his eyes and fell silent. I didn't ask anything, I just turned my head to the side, looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the window, and forcibly buried the doubts in my heart, and didn't force the answers that I couldn't find, this is my principle.
