Kenichi Kitamura, who lives in a small old rental house, can't draw manga with peace of mind even if he doesn't go to a part-time job at a convenience store.

This time, the young man and woman next door did not make a "poker" sound, all because of the hot weather.

Even if there is an air conditioner in the room, I don't dare to turn it on, after all, the electricity bill has risen by nearly 30%. In addition, other necessities of life have risen to varying degrees.

This rise in the cost of living, for the middle class in Tokyo, is at best a whining and scolding, basically a matter of how to live, how to continue to live, and how to use less.

However, for young Japanese people who come to Beijing to work hard, especially for the bottom of society like Kenichi Kitamura, who are not formal members of the club and only rely on odd jobs to make a living, the impact is not small.

Although Kenichi Kitamura is poor, the desire in his heart is not small. Car, house, cute girl...... I want them all. If he could, he wanted a better life and didn't want to wait a moment.

Contrary to his wishes, he could only blow the electric fan at the moment, and put a "big" word on the tatami mat that had already turned yellow.

Kenichi Kitamura held his phone in his right hand and looked aimlessly through the contacts in his phone book. When he saw the name Kentaro Miyamoto, he was stunned for a while.

He suddenly and unconsciously dialed Kentaro Miyamoto's phone. When I reacted and wanted to cut it off, the other end of the phone was connected.

Kentaro Miyamoto asked straight to the point, "What's the matter?" ”

Kenichi Kitamura replied in a panic: "Is it true that you and Minami Hamabe are in a relationship?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto didn't hesitate for a moment and said, "If you think it's true, that's true." If you think it's fake, it's fake. How's that for her manga? ”

Kitamura Kenichi sat up and said, "It's not like that. Shall we have a drink together in the evening? ”

Kentaro Miyamoto said truthfully: "No. I'm in Karuizawa right now, not in Tokyo. ”

Kenichi Kitamura suddenly realized: "A rich person like you will naturally go to Karuizawa to escape the summer." Only a poor person like me would not be able to go there. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto listened to something wrong with his words and said, "Are you in any trouble?" ”

Kitamura Ken kept saying, "No. I just wanted to have a chat with you. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto went straight and said, "Okay! ”

Kenichi Kitamura confirmed incredulously, "Is it really possible?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto didn't understand, "What's not to do?" We're friends! ”

Kenichi Kitamura couldn't help but be inexplicably moved: "Are we really friends?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto didn't lie to him and said, "Of course." ”

Kitamura Kenichi's eyes immediately turned red, and there were tears in his eyes, and he said, "Thank you so much for being able to look up to me." I'm still worried that you won't remember me for a long time. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto didn't answer immediately. He couldn't help but start a reflection, would what pressure he just said cause to the other party?

Kentaro Miyamoto always felt that he was embarrassed to open his mouth and say, "You have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Kenichi Kitamura wanted to speak and stopped: "No." Still, there should be. Ah...... I really don't know what to say to you. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto's instinctive first reaction was to think of the other party's hands and say, "Do you need money?" ”

While Kitamura Kenichi blurted out, he said incoherently, "No, no, no." Can I ask you to give me a signed photo of Minami Hamabe?

It's not that I want it, but a girl I like wants it. She is a big fan of Minami Hamabe. Just last night, who made me drink too much!

I boasted in front of her and her friends, saying that I knew you and was friends with you. What kind of relationship do you have with Minami Hamabe?

I said I would be able to get a picture of Minami Hamabe from you. If I don't keep my promise, I'll be disliked and considered a liar. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto didn't feel that he was offended at all and said, "You're not wrong at all." We were friends. You want Minami Hamabe to sign a photo......"

Kenichi Kitamura didn't wait for him to finish before interrupting, "I'm really sorry if I caused you trouble." I'm sorry, really, I'm sorry. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto asked, "Are you in a hurry or not?" ”

Kenichi Kitamura didn't understand what he meant and said, "I'm in a hurry or not, is it useful?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto explained without joking: "If you are in a hurry, then I will do it for you according to the urgency." If you are not in a hurry, you will naturally handle it according to the non-urgency.

However, in my personal opinion, just a signed photo of Minami Hamabe doesn't mean anything. The girl you like won't be moved by a signed photo. ”

Kenichi Kitamura sighed and said, "Who made me incompetent!" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto comforted: "Don't be presumptuous, look down on yourself first." ”

Kenichi Kitamura has self-knowledge: "That's what happened. ”

Kentaro Miyamoto thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I'll arrange for Minami Hamabe to have dinner with you and the girl you like?" ”

Kitamura Kenichi was shocked and said, "You can't be kidding me, are you?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto understood his thoughts and said, "You don't have to spend a yen. After I arrange it for you, I will arrange someone to pick you up. ”

Kenichi Kitamura couldn't believe it could be true. This is tantamount to a pie falling from the sky, and it happens to hit itself impartially.

Kitamura Ken said expressionlessly, "Don't fool me." ”

Kentaro Miyamoto knew that no matter what he said, he wouldn't believe it: "Just send me the address where you live." I'll take care of the rest for you. At that time, someone will call you. ”

Kenichi Kitamura didn't do what he said, "I won't bother you." ”

As soon as the voice fell, he hung up the phone and lay down again weakly. The phone he was holding in his right hand slipped down.

At this time, Kenichi Kitamura was not thinking about taking the girl he liked to dinner with Minami Hamabe, but racking his brains to think about how to apologize to the other party.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a mistake to drink. If I hadn't said that impulsively, I wouldn't have had such a problem at all. What if she doesn't forgive herself?

Kenichi Kitamura thought of this and scratched his head with both hands. If he hadn't really liked each other, there would have been no such troubles at the moment.
