Chapter 174: There's Something Strange in the Water
Chizuru Ninomiya was ashamed and wanted to jump into the river, but Hikaru Kurosawa was distracted by the system's prompts.
[The progress of the mission has been updated, and she has been shy three times.] 】
"That's it...... It's easier than expected. ”
Realizing that she was shy, Hikaru Kurosawa glanced at her and didn't dare to speak, just thought secretly.
Originally, he thought that today's task would be difficult at first...... The result was unexpectedly relaxed.
For example, she didn't think much about it at all, she just minded that this was a wilderness.
As for shyness, he didn't even do anything specifically to complete the mission goal, and he was easier to be shy than Xiao Yuki.
At present, both of them are soaking their feet by the stream, and by the time they reach five minutes, all that is left is to paint a portrait.
"The tasks assigned by the system seem to be quite simple......"
The task could be completed easily, and Hikaru Kurosawa couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If you think about it, the dating tasks that the system has triggered so far, although the mission objectives are varied, they are all very easy to complete.
Dating tasks are more of a guide than a challenge.
Because of the reward, in order to complete the task, he will summon more courage and motivation to date girls and do things that he will not do at all.
For example, the first time he went on a karaoke date with Yuki Koji, if there was no mission goal, out of the basic politeness of the first meeting, he would never have the idea of asking Yuki Koki to give him a knee pillow.
There is also a second time to go on a date with Xiao Yuki to the beach, if there is no mission target, he will definitely not do the behavior of helping Xiao Yuki apply sunscreen and almost touch his whole body.
For example, when he went on a date with Miss Ninomiya for the first time, he tried his best to make her heart move, and he also deliberately took her into a haunted house and let her hold his arm.
Combining his many dating experiences, coupled with this time, he found that the system is only in the process of making him better and better, but he can also experience a lot of things and contribute to the good memories of the two people.
After thinking for a while, Hikaru Kurosawa peeked at Miss Ninomiya beside him again.
She still couldn't recover...... Because what happened just now is too shameful, it can even be said to be black history, and there is a lot of stamina.
"It should have been five minutes, right?"
Hikaru Kurosawa felt the need to change the status quo, but instead of changing his posture directly, he thought.
Thinking of this, he also opened the task panel to see the progress of the foot soaking task, wanting to see how long it was left.
[Sit with her by the stream and soak your feet, mission progress: 0 seconds.] 】
“?”
Seeing the progress of this task, Hikaru Kurosawa tilted his head, and a big question mark appeared in his heart.
He looked down and saw that he and Miss Ninomiya were indeed soaking their feet by the stream.
That's right, why hasn't the mission progress moved?
The progress of this kind of time-required task will be updated in real time, but it will not be reminded every second, but will only be prompted when it is accumulated until it is completed.
"What's going on?"
Kurosawa was stunned and confused for a while.
"The goal of the dating mission is to make beautiful and unforgettable memories, and there are usually three fixed requirements: stage, contact, and heartbeat. If there are more than four mission objectives, there will be additional directions and the rewards will become more generous. ”
With his confusion, the system spoke out for the first time in a long time.
"Conditional?"
It was the first time Hikaru Kurosawa had heard this statement, and he immediately had ideas and directions.
There are four dating missions in total.
[150 kilometers away from Tokyo], this is the stage.
[Make her shy three times], this is heartbeat.
The remaining two tasks are [Draw a portrait of her] and [Sit with her by the river, or soak your feet by the stream]
Literally, the only task that can meet the inherent condition of "contact" is to soak your feet together.
As for "painting a portrait of her", the direction should be to show self-worth.
"Do I have to have physical contact with her?"
Suddenly realizing the direction of the mission target, Hikaru Kurosawa glanced at the mission progress again, it was still 0 seconds, and then looked at Chizuru Ninomiya beside him.
After such a while, she can be regarded as relieved, and her blush has faded, but she still tenses her body and does not dare to make a sound.
Seeing this, Hikaru Kurosawa also observed her and thought about countermeasures.
Her hands were clasped together and placed on her thighs, her spirit was very tense, and she wanted to shake hands, but she was afraid that it was not natural enough.
Do you want to sit next to each other? But if you suddenly lean over, will it scare her?
As for holding her, it was even more sudden...... The atmosphere was a bit awkward and not natural enough.
Chizuru Ninomiya, who was staring at him and was still very nervous, suddenly felt anxious and began to think crankily.
"He's looking at me with a strange gaze, is it because of what just happened?"
"What to do? What can I do to make him forget what happened? Is it okay to give him money? ”
"A million...... This seems to be too little, this time I only came out with a million spare, so 10 million? Give him a check. ”
Although she hates mercenary people like her parents, after all, she grew up under such a family education, and she inevitably developed the habit of using money to solve problems.
According to her parents' original words, as long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
"Yikes!"
At this moment, Chizuru Ninomiya, who was nervous, suddenly felt that his feet soaked in the stream touched something, and he was immediately startled, and his body couldn't help but shake and pulled his feet back from the water.
"Kurosawa, get your feet up, there's something strange in the water."
She put her legs sideways to the side, and out of worry, she also hurriedly grabbed Hikaru Kurosawa's arm and shook it to remind him.
"Uh......"
Being shaken and seeing her frightened, Hikaru Kurosawa was embarrassed.
Because the strange thing she said was his feet.
He had been observing for a while just now, and when he was really at a loss for what to do, he suddenly noticed the feet under the stream, and thought of the task of soaking his feet, so he tried to interact with her underwater.
As a result, he didn't expect that he would scare her like this when he cautiously leaned over and touched her.
Chizuru Ninomiya shook his arm a few times, quickly noticing his stiffness and embarrassment.
She looked down and saw that there was nothing in the water, no fish in sight, no garbage, only Kurosawa's bare feet.
Seeing this scene, the embarrassed reaction of Hikaru Kurosawa was ...... Obviously, the strange thing she had just encountered was Hikaru Kurosawa's feet.
"Sorry, I thought it was fish and snakes or something."
Chizuru Ninomiya calmed down, brushed her messy hair with her hand, regained her composure and put her feet back into the water, and explained.
Her face was starting to heat again...... There is shame, and there is discouragement.
It was obviously a date that was not easy to go on, but she turned out to be out of shape repeatedly, and she couldn't maintain her previous maturity and calmness at all.
Her image, and what should have been a beautiful and happy date, were all ruined by her.
"This stream is so fast, I didn't pay attention to it just now, and my feet passed."
Hikaru Kurosawa sat upstream, saw her embarrassment, realized that she couldn't be silent any longer, and spoke.
"I know."
Chizuru Ninomiya nodded, feeling more and more annoyed in her heart.
I was shocked what happened today.
She is older than Hikaru Kurosawa, and she should be a big sister who is calm and calm, and she is not alarmed.
"It's a really big stream."
Finding that she was still in a bad mood, Hikaru Kurosawa thought about it and added.
“?”
Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru looked ahead with some confusion.
The stream of the temple valley, but if you soak your feet when you sit firmly, your legs and feet should be able to stay still, right?
Immediately afterward, she suddenly noticed that Hikaru Kurosawa's feet under the stream were getting closer and closer to her feet.
It wasn't so much that he was being carried away by the stream, but that he had come over on purpose.
In this way, the feet under the stream touched together.
Because I was conscious this time, I realized in advance that Chizuru Ninomiya was not frightened.
"Did he just touch me on purpose? Why? ”
Seeing this scene, the chagrin in her heart was suddenly replaced by doubt.
At the same time, the voice of the system sounded in Hikaru Kurosawa's ears: "Mission progress update, [Soak your feet with her by the stream for five minutes, 1 second.] 】”
Sure enough, as he guessed, it was not enough to just soak their feet together, and the two of them needed to have a little physical contact.
Holding hands, being close to the body, hugging, leaning, or using the feet are all considered contact.
It's just that what Hikaru Kurosawa cares about at the moment is not that the progress of the mission has finally started to run, but the touch under the stream.
"It's so small, it's so slippery!"
There is no cognition without comparison, and with the feet of the two people coming together, Hikaru Kurosawa finds that her feet are a little bigger than hers.
This difference in size is like a reminder to him of the difference between men and women in terms of body type.
The most important thing is that her skin is super smooth, and it feels smoother than her hands...... It may be due to the lubrication of water.
Compared to him, Ninomiya Chizuru didn't feel anything unusual, just looked at him suspiciously.
Seeing that his expression was a little subtle, Chizuru Ninomiya suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Did he swallow because he saw my feet?"
When she took off her stockings and stepped on the ground with her bare feet just now, she really felt that Kurosawa was staring at her, and swallowed his saliva, as if he had seen something that particularly attracted him.
At that time, because Hikaru Kurosawa said that she was thirsty, and she confirmed that she hadn't gone away, she didn't think much about it at all.
But now, what if he thinks his feet are good-looking? It's as if she started noticing Hikaru Kurosawa's hands because of the comments under the video "Croatian Rhapsody" and thought it was good-looking.
"Do you like my feet?"
Guessing this possibility, Chizuru Ninomiya was a little heartbeat, looked at his side face, and suddenly asked.
When Kurosawa Hikaru heard this, he nodded subconsciously and admitted the matter.
"I don't like it." Immediately afterwards, Hikaru Kurosawa suddenly came back to his senses, reacted with a change in his face, and hurriedly denied it.
Chizuru Ninomiya saw his subconscious nod, and after revealing his true thoughts, he was ashamed to admit it, and his heart suddenly accelerated, a little embarrassed, but more of a stimulus, and indescribable emotion.
"Do you really not like it?"
Chizuru Ninomiya asked again with a force on her thighs, lifting her feet out of the water.
"I really don't like it."
Kurosawa glanced at her beautiful feet with clear water splashes and white jade, and shook her head resolutely.
Although he denied it, in the opinion of Chizuru Ninomiya, there is no need to guess what the truth is.
"It's strange that he actually likes my feet......" Suddenly realizing his little fetish, the corners of Ninomiya Chizuru's mouth gently hooked up a shallow smile, and the mood was very wonderful.
"It kind of cheered her up."
Hikaru Kurosawa noticed her smile, and felt helpless and ashamed, but also relieved.
Obviously, because of his super acting skills, the battle of [pretending to be foot control] was successful.
