At the subway entrance of Azabu Juban, Qing Shui Toru glanced at the surging clouds in the gloomy sky, and retreated under the eaves, remembering the assessment of the study that morning.

The assessment given by Aya Uei naturally passed, and the photo of Nanami Nanami pulling her hair was even more commented by her "Shimizu-kun can become a professional photographer who shoots girls".

Merely...

"Although I passed the exam, the content and models that need to be photographed in the next issue of the magazine have already been decided, so I can't arrange a job for Miss Nanami for the time being. Not entirely absent, of course, except for one column..."

Aya Uei's ambiguous eyes and deliberately elongated voice made Shimizu Toru instantly understand what she was referring to. Although there is always a feeling of discomfort in a trap, in order not to let his promise to Nanami Nanami fail, he can only agree in that situation.

Shaking his head to dispel this feeling, and focusing his attention on the passers-by at the exit of the station, Toru Shimizu took out a vocabulary collection card from his pocket and recorded the fresh words he had just heard.

Write down the pronunciation in katakana and mark the possible meaning on the side. When he raised his head again, a beautiful figure emerged from the crowd and trotted towards him.

"I'm sorry, there's something wrong with the school, and I've kept you waiting." Nanami panted, her chest rising and falling under the cover of her thin plain shirt.

Toru Shimizu looked away before she found out.

"I just arrived, so now now?"

Nanami bent her eyebrows.

"Good".

Changing the bag containing the camera to her left shoulder, Toru Shimizu took out her phone and guided her through the various shops in Azabu Juban according to the route shown on the screen.

The distance on the map is getting shorter, and the dessert shop that is scheduled to be interviewed finally appears in front of you. The pure white walls are decorated with silver and gold, and the large transparent glass is filled with warm yellow light.

Just as he was thinking about asking the shopkeeper a question for a while, Toru Shimizu suddenly heard Nanami's slightly uneasy voice.

"Well, Shimizu-san, can you tell me what I'm going to do?"

Turning his head, his mouth tightened, looking a little nervous. Qing Shui Toru smiled and said, "Just sit there and pose a few times with the dessert." In the end, it depends on the model's appearance, and it must be no problem for Nanami-san. ”

The faint compliment made her flutter, and she pursed the corners of her mouth and turned her head slightly to look away.

Toru Shimizu was also relieved and pushed open the door of the dessert shop, where the young male manager was already waiting behind the counter.

"May I ask who you are..."

"I'm Toru Shimizu from the study of Hayami, and Uei-san should have contacted you before..."

"It turned out to be Shimizu-san, sorry I didn't recognize you, I'm..."

After a brief contact, the interview began in earnest, and Toru Shimizu first took pictures of the interior of the store from different angles, and then sat down with the store manager to communicate.

“…”

"Speaking of which, the store manager San's favorite dessert..."

"My words are still..."

Although the store manager looked young, his words were concise and his thinking was clear, which made Toru Shimizu breathe a sigh of relief that the interview went smoothly, and also allowed him to pay some attention to Nanami Nanami, who was pacing in the store.

She was fascinated by the small decorations and desserts in the store, as if she had finally let go of her worries about this job, and when she looked closely, her eyes were full of novelty. She tilted her head, looked at one and nodded in satisfaction to move on to the next, only stopping in one place for a few more seconds.

As if he hadn't found anything, Toru Shimizu turned around and continued to chat with the store manager.

After the conversation session, Nanami Nanami made a series of movements to the recommended dessert that she had prepared, recording all this, and watching her relaxed expression with a sigh of relief, Toru Shimizu also sat down across from her.

"How's it going, how does it feel?"

"It feels... It's really harder than a hair model", Nanami Nanami stroked her chest and continued, "By the way, what are you going to do next?" ”

"Let's start eating."

"Huh?"

Toru Shimizu carefully split an egg tart in half and placed it in front of her.

"The column is about taste, so eating it is part of the job. I'm not very good at desserts, so I'm going to trouble Nanami-san today. ”

Feeling the suspicious gaze she cast, Toru Shimizu directly ate the half that belonged to him, and casually recorded his feelings in the notebook next to him. Looking at it again, she put the tart to her lips with her delicate fingers, and when she bit it gently, her eyes widened.

"Not bad, right? According to Sister Cai, this is one of the best stores in Minato Ward. ”

"Uh-huh," Nanami Nanami covered her mouth lightly and nodded repeatedly, thinking about it carefully for a while, and then a little puzzled, "But... I only feel sweet, so how do you write the taste? ”

"This..."Toru Shimizu put down the fork in his hand, "Sometimes it adds texture or something, and sometimes... It's just a matter of imagination. ”

"Imagination?"

"For example, egg tarts always smell like eggs, right? You can say that the mellowness of eggs and the aroma of wheat are something. ”

"What about the desiccated coconut?"

"It's the same", seeing that she was a little skeptical, Toru Shimizu continued to explain, "Actually, most of the time I don't need these, it's just that I'm really interested in desserts... Hawkers, I'm also bothering Nanami-san to help me keep it secret. ”

Nanami Nanami smiled and nodded slightly, her slightly fluttering eyelashes seemed to sweep into his heart, making him can't help but have the idea of striking while the iron is hot.

"By the way, Nanami-san, we've known each other for a while, right?"

"Well, it's been almost two months since the bookstore."

"That," Qing Shui paused, and said the words that had been circling in his mind for a long time, "Do you feel that it is too troublesome to keep adding honorifics?" ”

She stopped moving, covered her mouth lightly, and looked at her in surprise. Toru Shimizu felt a little uneasy inexplicably.

Sure enough, are you still self-righteous?

Thinking like this, she lowered her eyes, her gaze wandering in front of her for a moment. After a moment, he raised his head with a hesitant expression.

"That's... Water? ”

"Yes!"

"Hmm..."

She dragged her long voice and bowed her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking. It took a long time before he gave the answer that Toru Shimizu wanted.

"In that case, then please call me by my last name."

"Good".

With a long sigh of relief in his heart, Qing Shui Toru controlled his expression and immediately thought of another question.

"But in this way, with the name of Nanami-san, if you only listen to the pronunciation, you can't tell whether it is called 'Nanami' or 'Nanami'."

I thought it was just an insignificant joke, but I found that she suddenly turned her head to look out the window, and the color of her cheeks reminded Shimizu Toru of the late cherry blossoms in Hokkaido.

"Before you ask me, Shimizu... You already have the answer in mind, right? ”
