Yu Murakami, who ended the party, was poured most of his stomach with interesting anecdotes and a small half of his beer by the light novel writers led by Watatsu.

By the time he got home, it was nearly ten o'clock in the evening, and Ai Nakano was waiting for him in the living room.

To be honest, Yu Murakami thought that he would be able to get out calmly after the drinking party lasted for two hours, but after sharing what he had seen, Duhang pulled him vigorously and asked him to sing.

So throughout the party, the alternating rhythm of Wataru singing two songs and everyone else singing one song together, and Yu Murakami sang most of the songs in the group of "everyone else".

Although he didn't go to the professional equipment of KTV this time, he also dragged his voice to complete the feat of singing two-thirds of the total number of songs.

However, judging from other people's comments on Duhang, his performance today is not enough to match his title of Maiba, maybe Yu Murakami sang better last time, and Duhang intended to let him sing more.

In this regard, Murakami Yu was noncommittal.

When he walked into the house, Yu Murakami found Ai Nakano sitting quietly on the sofa waiting. Of course, it's not just sitting, she has a light novel that Murakami Yuu bought in her hand, and she seems to be quite interested in reading it.

It's just that after hearing the sound of Yu Murakami entering the door, she decisively put the book aside and looked at Yu Murakami.

"I'm back."

"Welcome back."

Ai Nakano, who had completed her routine, immediately turned into an interrogation state.

"Murakami-kun, sit here, I have something to ask you." She gestured to the couch to the side.

Yu Murakami sat down while agreeing, and at the same time secretly slandered.

Originally, when he was in Sakuraso, even if he went back later, Ai Nakano would only ask symbolically, and would not pose like this. But when the two moved to a new home, Ai Nakano naturally began to interrogate about going home late, and she didn't even feel much disobedience.

"Murakami-kun, did you go for a drink tonight?" Ai Nakano smelled the smell of wine, but it was nothing more than the beer she usually drank less.

"yes, that guy took me to a drinking party today, along with other light novel writers and cartoonists. I wanted to come back sooner, so I chose a beer, but it was delayed by the ferry until now. Yu Murakami explained.

This can't be said that he threw the pot, after all, the ferry who pulled him to sing and listen to the song should be the culprit.

Thinking of this, Yu Murakami suddenly realized that the intention of Duhang to pull him to sing was probably to make himself admit that he sang well and had a very high level.

"It's all thanks to Du Hang, who wants me to evaluate his singing skills." Yu Murakami added without hesitation.

"So, Murakami-kun, why didn't you tell me about the drinking party earlier? Can't I go to participate? Nakano's interrogation also seems to have come from the fact that he didn't take himself to drink.

"No, no. These light novel writers and cartoonists are thinking about making a fuss about me all day long, and if you go, you will definitely be teased by them, so it's better not to go. ”

Murakami used rare overlapping words, but he didn't lie.

"So, what are they saying about Murakami-kun that I can't go?" The center of Ai Nakano's problem was shifted by Yu Murakami to the matter of making a fuss.

Although this was something he tried to avoid mentioning, following the logical development, Ai Nakano still asked about it.

"Hmm......"

"Murakami-kun!"

"Actually, it's not a big deal.,It's just a problem with the new audition.。 Yu Murakami still shook things out, after all, he had to communicate with Ai Nakano sooner or later.

"Problems with auditions? It has something to do with me. ”

"Yes, it's not just about you, it's also about Sakura, Higashiyama, farming, and Mizurasang." Yu Murakami, who decided to break the jar, simply told everyone involved in one go.

"Hmm, so what?"

"So......" Murakami paused, "Nakano, have you ever heard of a manga called "The Flower Wedding of the Quintile"? ”

"No, you should know that I usually read books at most, and basically don't read comics."

"Yes...... So the author of this manga, Haruba Onio, his original intention of drawing the manga at that time was to ......" Yu Murakami suddenly didn't know how to express it.

"Murakami-kun?" Ai Nakano looked at Yu Murakami, who was holding his forehead with his hand, and was a little puzzled.

"So, this comic of his is based on me to create the male protagonist. As for the five heroines, they are based on Nakano and the other four. ”

As for the content of the manga, you can know it by listening to the name.

Ai Nakano was stunned, probably because she didn't expect someone to create a work based on Yu Murakami.

Seeing that Ai Nakano looked a little suspicious, Yu Murakami took out his mobile phone, used his super memory to find the message record at that time, and handed it to Ai Nakano as proof.

Ai Nakano smiled and quipped: "I didn't expect Murakami-kun to be the protagonist of the story." ”

Seeing that Ai Nakano was not very serious, Murakami Yu breathed a sigh of relief and corrected by the way: "I am not the protagonist of the story, it is the protagonist of the story who takes me as the prototype." ”

"I guess, you're embarrassed to refuse the spring onion, after all, he drew a comic based on you?"

"Yes......" Murakami replied.

Originally, Haruma, as a manga artist, would not have come to a drinking party held by a light novel writer. It was probably because he saw the ferry and named Yu Murakami to participate in the drinking party, so he had the idea to come to the appointment.

"So the content of the manga, have you understood Murakami-kun?"

"I haven't seen it, but I just heard a few sentences from the spring field."

Ai Nakano sighed: "After I understand the content, I'll answer the question of whether or not to participate in the audition." ”

She put a brief end to the matter, and then immediately moved on to the next question.

"Murakami-kun, I have one more question for you." Putting down Yu Murakami's phone, Ai Nakano stared into his eyes.

"How much do you think I should pay for the coffee I brew?" Her expression seemed a little serious.

Considering that Ai Nakano was going to Sakuraso to make coffee today, Yu Murakami had a little more thought: "The price is 1,000 yen." “

It's a little less than his previous pricing.

"Why is it less than before?" Ai Nakano is in hot pursuit.

"In order to increase sales." Yu Murakami replied solemnly, "Nakano, if you want to open a coffee shop, you must consider the sales volume. ”

Ai Nakano laughed angrily: "Then according to Murakami-kun, what you said, is it that the price will be halved, and the sales will more than double?" ”

"Definitely, yes." Yu Murakami still maintains a serious expression.

"Tane-chan priced my coffee at 400 yen, and Nana and Suzune at 500 yen." Looking at Yu Murakami, who was still pretending to be stupid, Ai Nakano decided not to beat around the bush and go straight to the point.

"Well, that means they don't appreciate it. Nakano, you see that I am a barista after all, and the coffee I make is also praised by others. Yu Murakami gave an answer that Ai Nakano couldn't refute.

Watching Murakami's sitting posture change from casual and lazy at the beginning to sitting upright later, without squinting, Ai Nakano still let him go.

"Murakami-kun, do you have any arrangements for tomorrow and Sunday?"

"No, Nakano, do you want to hang out?" Yu Murakami asked tentatively, "Speaking of which, I haven't been to the parrot shop at Sensoji Temple for a long time. ”

"It's not! I can go to the parrot shop if I want to, Murakami-kun you have to go buy two things tomorrow and do two things! ”

"What?"

"Go to the bookstore and buy the 'Equal Marriage', and you can read it again when I'm done. And go buy a bag of coffee beans and grind coffee for me tomorrow. ”

She finally lifted these two things high and put them down gently.

Yu Murakami, who was worried that Ai Nakano would give him some problems, was obviously relieved.

"Nakano, are you tired of going to Sakuraso to make coffee today?" Yu Murakami took the initiative to stand up and sat down next to Ai Nakano.

"Sort of, what's wrong?"

"I'll give you a massage."

After saying that, without waiting for Ai Nakano to object, Yu Murakami put down her petite body and let her lie face down on the sofa.

It's also an alternative way to gag it.

When it was close to midnight, Yuu Murakami returned to his room after taking a shower.

Naturally, Ai Nakano was already asleep, and he still had to study where to buy the "five-equal flower dowry" and coffee beans tomorrow. While he was rummaging through the relevant information, Line popped up with a message from Saori Onishi.

"Senpai, are you free tomorrow?"

"I'm going to go shopping, I'm not available." Yu Murakami replied simply.

"Senior, where are you going to buy something?" Saori Onishi asked very carefully.

"Go buy comics and coffee beans." Yu Murakami briefly said the address and turned off his mobile phone.

He didn't expect Saori Onishi to help him buy manga or coffee beans, and he was ready to go to sleep as soon as he gathered the news.

……

At 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, Murakami left on time and boarded the train to his destination. Today's weather is still very hot, and the hot streets and people dressed in cool clothes bring the feeling of summer without exception.

When he arrived at his destination, Yu Murakami walked into the bookstore and headed straight for the clerk.

"Excuse me, where is the specific location of the single book of "Quintile Flower Wedding"?" He asked politely.

The clerk was first attracted by Yu Murakami's appearance, and then performed his job and introduced the location.

Yu Murakami nodded in thanks and walked towards the place given by the clerk.

The clerk looked at Yu Murakami's back a little distracted, and didn't notice that the two figures followed.

Yu Murakami, who came to the designated place, looked at the single book on the shelf, picked up one casually and flipped through it. He looked at the design of the cover and the information on the back of the book, and the afterglow of the perspective told him that someone was staring at him.

Murakami turned his head, and there were only bookshelves in the direction of his gaze, and there was no one.

He picked up another one-book book, and before he could repeat his previous actions, the feeling of being spied on came back to him. Yu Murakami put down the book and headed towards the corner of the bookshelf, and his figure quickly disappeared around the corner.

Saori Onishi on the other side of the bookshelf asked in a low voice, "Inori, what should I do?" ”

Shui Laiqi, who was standing close to her, did not hesitate: "Keep up, you can't lose Murakami-san." ”

When they came to the corner of the bookshelf, they found one foot stepping out, and then they saw Yu Murakami's face.

"Onishi, Shui Laisang, what are you two doing here?" Remembering what Saori Onishi asked him about last night, Murakami Yu roughly had a point in his heart.

"Senpai, Inori said she wanted to come out with you to play, so I asked me to send a message to ask you last night."

It seems that the two of them probably slept together last night.

Yu Murakami looked at Mizurai.

"Murakami-san, I miss you." Shui Laiqi stared at his eyes, word by word, and the words were clear.

"I haven't seen you for three days, and you've already thought of coming outside to block me?" Yu Murakami looked at the girl in front of him who spoke bluntly and dared to love and hate, and couldn't help laughing.

"I wish I could see Murakami-san every day when I open my eyes, and I can see Murakami-san a moment before I close my eyes, so I've been looking for Murakami-san for you."

The girl in front of her spoke in a very serious tone, as if she was announcing some truth.

Yu Murakami didn't know what to say for a while, and fell silent.

"By the way, Murakami-san, Saori also supports me to come outside to block you." Mizurai pointed to Saori Onishi, who was out of the way, and added.

Yu Murakami turned to Saori Onishi. Wait for an explanation.

"Hey, inori, didn't you say you wanted to see your seniors, so I came to give you an idea?" Saori Onishi looked like she had been betrayed.

"I remember very well, Saori, you said last week that you wanted to drink the coffee ground by your predecessors." Shui Laiqi still had a serious expression.

When he got here, Yu Murakami roughly understood that Mizulai Qi came to him voluntarily, but Saori Onishi was indispensable behind it.

He decided to return to Y'M and let Saori Onishi work as a coolie for a while, after all, as a secretary, he always had to know something.

"So, what now? I'm going back after I'm done shopping, so you can't keep following me. Yu Murakami felt that there was still a task to be completed, so he took the initiative to remind him.

"Then follow Murakami-san and you home, after all, I haven't visited your new home yet!" Shui Laiqi made a natural suggestion.

Yu Murakami once again went into a state of silence.

After a while, he took out his phone and made a call to Ai Nakano.

"Nakano, when I was shopping, I ran into Mizurai-san and Onishi, and they also wanted to drink hand-ground coffee."

Very skilled at avoiding the heavy and light.

"Xiao Qi and Onishi? No problem, let them come. Ai Nakano hung up the phone.

Yu Murakami looked at the two people in front of him, looked at his phone again, and sighed.

So he could only take the two of them to buy coffee beans and comics, and then went home together. On the way, he tried to tell Shui Laiqi about the invitation to audition for the "Fifth Equal Flower Wedding" several times, but in the end he didn't say anything.

If Ai Nakano didn't agree to participate in the audition, even if she persuaded everyone else, it would be useless after all. As for the possibility of convincing the rest, Yu Murakami is 100% sure.

Just like Mizurachi, she has been looking for an opportunity to meet Yu Murakami. If there is this opportunity to co-act, she will not miss it anyway.
