After Gensheng Yuxia changed into his staff uniform, Shiina Kirishi left the convenience store and walked towards the hot pot restaurant.

That hot pot restaurant is not far away, just at the end of the street.

He'd been there twice, the first time he was taken with him by the store manager, and the second time he took Gensheng Yuxia.

The owners of the hot pot restaurant are a young couple who seem to be quite cultured.

The husband is tall and thin, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and is very calm; The wife is also gentle and soft-spoken.

If it weren't for the blue subtitles, Shiina Kiri would probably live like him.

Make a little money, marry a beautiful woman, open a small shop, the two of them will have a child, and then live a dull life.

Among the five heroines, Gensheng Yuxia is the most suitable candidate for his previous life trajectory.

Simple, pretty, and like a fool when you like him.

But without blue subtitles, he might not have noticed this girl, her presence is too low.

Moreover, he actually didn't break into her heart so easily.

After walking for five or six minutes, Shiina Kiri came to the door of the hot pot restaurant and saw the proprietress standing in front of the counter to settle accounts.

The follow-up packaging did not go well, and this store does not provide packaging services.

Shiina Kirishi wasn't surprised, in fact, most of them in Tokyo are like this, not to mention that this is a hot pot restaurant.

He told the proprietress that he was working part-time at a convenience store not far in front of him, but she still looked embarrassed.

Until the owner of the hot pot restaurant heard the movement and walked out of the compartment, the proprietress seemed to see the backbone of the main heart and threw a look at him for help.

After some negotiation with Shiina Mist, the boss agreed in a decisive way.

Half an hour later, Shiina Kiri left with two packed hot pots and two rice.

The lunch box was borrowed from the noodle restaurant next door, but he was not overcharged.

When Shiina Kiri returned to the convenience store with the packed hot pot, he saw that Gensheng Yuxia was settling the bill for a boy who looked like a student.

He waited for the guests to leave before putting the food on the cash register.

The girl looked at him and said. "Shiina-san, it's been a great job."

"It's not hard. Well, the one on the left that isn't spicy is yours, and the rice is one for each person. ”

Although the girl's embarrassment of being so spicy that her mouth turned red was very beautiful and beautiful, he didn't really bully her like last time.

Once it's a joke, it's boring if you have too many times.

She's pretty stubborn at times.

A person who doesn't know how to eat spicy will be very uncomfortable at night if he eats too much chili, and he won't bully stupid people anymore in the future.

Probably not.

"Okay."

The packed hot pot is a bit like a spicy hotpot, and Shiina Mist sprinkles a lot of white sesame seeds to enhance the fragrance.

The hot pot restaurant is actually not cheap, a palm-sized Wagyu beef roll costs more than 400 yen per unit, but the ingredients are very fresh, and the vegetables and the like are also carefully cleaned.

Both of them were standing inside the cash register, and the lunch boxes were placed together on the cash register.

Shiina Kiri watched the girl eat rice in small bites, but it was also delicious.

"The last person to finish eating should put away the dishes." He touched the girl lightly with his shoulder.

"Yes."

He didn't hit her too hard, but the girl still tilted her body.

Then, like a tumbler, it returned to the standing position.

The two of them finished eating standing up, and a few guests came to settle the bill one after another, and the dining environment was really not very good.

But I always think that this dinner is quite pleasant, probably because of the girls around me.

Because Shiina Kirishi took the initiative to do the checkout, the girl was the first to eat although she ate slowly.

But she still has half of her hot pot left.

The packed hot pot was divided by Shiina Kiri himself, and there were as many servings as two.

Unlike kittens, he and Gensheng Yuxia have eaten together only a handful of times, and the squad leader has been there several times.

Of course, he couldn't deliberately observe how much Yuan Sheng Yuxia ate every time, so he didn't have a specific idea of how much she ate.

After sending off another customer, Shiina Kirishi sees that the girl is no longer eating.

"Have you eaten enough?"

"Well, I'm full, Shiina-san." Gensheng Yuxia nodded.

"Okay."

Shiina Kiri picked up her portion and poured it into his packing box, because the girl's portion was not spicy, and he mixed it a few times.

The girl watched from the sidelines as he finished doing this and did not stop.

It's just that her little face turned red unconsciously, and she remembered that in the afternoon, he said that she was his girlfriend.

"Is the hot pot in this restaurant still to taste?" Shiina Kiri finished speaking and took a big bite.

Today, the kitten probably can't cook again, and he feels the need to eat more.

It's good to cook some noodles in the evening, and if you add vegetables and poached eggs, you can make do.

After all, kittens don't have a sense of taste yet.

That gene capsule is a bit difficult to describe, but after calming down and thinking about it, since it is not a medicine to cure the disease, it means that there must be a process, and it is not a failure.

Fortunately, this way the kitten will not think about the recovery of taste, and the second capsule can be safely obtained.

"It's delicious."

"Well, then we can go a few more times in the future, the owner of that shop is pretty good."

"Okay."

"Next time, I'll invite Shiina-san." She whispered.

"Yes."

Shiina Kiri did not refuse.

It's also good to accept the girl's kindness appropriately.

However, the price of that shop is really not cheap, and he thinks that next time it is better to change the restaurant for her to treat.

After all, she was very short of money, and he couldn't give her money directly.

If he really does this, whether the girl accepts it or not, when he says this idea, the relationship between the two will not be pure.

The salary is nothing, after all, she already works one more day a week, and she can't help it if he insists on giving her a little more.

After Shiina Kirishi finished eating, the girl took the initiative to start cleaning up, but Shiina Kiri looked at it but didn't say anything.

After she had put the cash register away, he let her go to the lounge to study, and it was his shift today, after all.

The red sunset outside the glass door slowly infected the entire convenience store, and the big orange cat in the corner stretched out after waking up and walked slowly into the distance.

The number of customers at the convenience store is increasing, and there are already people lining up in front of the cash register.

Shiina Kiri put the experience book away and looked serious about his work.

The girl in the lounge was studying quietly, and maybe she was already starting to get sleepy.

Life is always so dull and boring, and there is no excitement at all.

At half past eight in the evening, the convenience store closed on time.

After a brief cleaning of the store, Shiina Wu left with Gensheng Yuxia.

Along the way, the two of them didn't talk much, in fact, if Shiina Mist didn't take the initiative to speak, the girl would have kept her little head down.

The bus that passed near her house didn't pass through the old street, so Shiina Kiri naturally got off the bus with her.

"I'll take you downstairs to your house." Shiina Kirishi saw that the girl wanted to speak and stopped, so she opened her mouth first.

The two walked slowly along the side of the street, and the streetlights illuminated their shadows ambiguously, as if holding hands.

"There's no class tomorrow afternoon, you can go home and accompany Io, and I'll go to the convenience store in the evening." Shiina Kiri looked at the girl who was half a body behind him and whispered.

On Tuesday, I got into the eldest lady's thief car and was sent directly to Yamanashi Prefecture, so I had to ask Gensheng Yuxia to help go to the convenience store to get off work.

Originally, he planned to go to the convenience store at night, but who knew that he had been soaking in the hot springs with Aokuna for too long.

Although the two never did that kind of thing again, they could still make out a little bit other than that kind of thing.

So when I returned to Ueda Ward, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

"No, Shiina-san."

"Don't be too polite to me."

Shiina Kiri reached out and touched her head.

"Touch again..."

Her voice was like a mosquito, but the two were too close, and Shiina Kiri naturally heard it.

"It's been a long time since I've touched it."

Shiina Mist was going to touch it, but when she heard her words, she rubbed it again.

"Oh," the girl whispered.

Her hair, which was already a little messy, looked even more messy now.

Shiina Kiri stretched out her other hand and gave her a good hand.

The girl lowered her head and blushed to the base of her ears, and the boy almost didn't see it under the warm yellow street lamp.

"I'll help you get your hair straightened, won't you say thank you?" Shiina Kirishi quipped.

Born in the summer. “……”

"Shiina-san, I'm not stupid."

"Okay, then it's not stupid. But now I want to hear you say thank you. ”

"Well... Thank you, Shiina-san. She said seriously.

Shiina Kirishi thinks she's really easy to bully.

"Well, go back, don't go to the convenience store tomorrow, or I'll take your socks off in the lounge."

Before they knew it, the two had walked downstairs to her house.

Born in the summer. “！”

'Socks...' she quickly shook her head, her mind full of the day when he grabbed her ankle and took off her socks.

"That's it, I'll go back."

Shiina Kiri looked at the girl after speaking, waiting for her to say "see you tomorrow" in person.

"Wait."

She suddenly tugged at his sleeve and immediately let go.

"Anything else?"

Shiina Kirishi watched her withdraw her hand and put it on her skirt helplessly, not clenching her fists, nor letting go.

"Something about the afternoon—" she hesitated.

"What's wrong with the afternoon, didn't you say that you will forgive me if you invite you to dinner?" Shiina Kiri said with a smile.

He could see what the girl wanted to say, but he wasn't going to push her any longer.

"Shiina-san, if you're not happy in the future... If you're angry... Just bully me... I... I promise to touch you... Touching the feet..."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran away, leaving Shiina Kiri to stand there thoughtfully.

'Touching your feet? ’

It seems that this matter was mentioned last time.

At that time, he was afraid that Gensheng Yuxia would be unhappy because of Aokong Nai's affairs, but then the squad leader helped him.

The squad leader told a secret to Gensheng Yuxia, and then Gensheng Yuxia stopped caring about his love game with Aokong Nai, and even took the initiative to avoid it.

He originally thought that what the squad leader said was the agreement between him and Aokong Na for a month, but when he thought about it, it was not right, this matter could not make Gensheng Yuxia guilty.

That secret must be something else.

Although in the end, Gensheng Yuxia didn't tell the secret, but she took the initiative to tell him that if she got angry in the future, she would bully him, and she wouldn't fight back, including touching her feet.

So the reason why the squad leader is in a bad mood this time is because of that secret?

To be precise, the squad leader was unhappy because of Aokuna's departure?

He inexplicably remembered that Kazuki Kobayakawa had said that she didn't like men......

It shouldn't be because of this, right?

How could Aokuna not know the identity of the girl Kobayakawa Kazuki?

If that's not the reason, what is it?

Shiina Kiri felt that he was only one foot away from knowing the answer.

And this is a kick in the door......

Qingkong Nai has already left, and Gensheng Yuxia is tight-lipped, and it seems that he will have to start from the squad leader in the end.

This answer should be very important, otherwise it would be impossible for Kobayakawa Kazuki to murder him for no reason at noon today, and Gensheng Yuxia would not be so guilty.

But how do you get the squad leader to say it?

Shiina Kiri found it troublesome.

……

Shiina Kiri returned to the rental house.

The girl did not fall asleep on the couch today, but in the bedroom, sleeping on the side where he often slept on.

Shiina Kiri didn't turn on the light, and walked up to the girl lightly and touched her forehead.

Didn't feel very hot, didn't feel very cold.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to leave the bedroom when he noticed that the girl was looking at him motionless with her eyes open.

"Sss Shiina Kiri gasped.

"Did I wake you up? Why don't you speak, Asakura, it scares me. ”

He simply sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the girl.

"Hmm."

"It's better today."

She saw the girl change from sleeping to sitting, and picked up the thin quilt to cover her neck.

"Alright."

Shiina Kirishi heard her say this, and almost wanted her to cook.

But after thinking about it, I asked her yesterday if she was better, and she said yes......

"I'm going to cook, is it okay to eat noodles today?"

"Hmm."

"Then you lie down for a while, I'll call you when the noodles are ready."

He suddenly remembered that he hadn't given her candy to eat today, although he felt that it was unlikely that he would recover his sense of taste, but what if.

So he took out a candy from his bag.

"Do you want to eat a candy first?"

The girl reached out from the quilt and took it, took it apart, and ate it into her mouth.

Shiina Kiri kept watching her expression change, but unfortunately...

He took the candy wrapper from the girl, picked up his bag and left the bedroom.

"Don't close the door."

Seeing that he was about to close the door, the girl whispered.

"Yes."

After leaning the bedroom door against the wall, Shiina Kiri walked towards the kitchen.

Yesterday the kitten didn't cook either, and neither today.

However, after feeding the girl a gene capsule, he was no longer as urgent as before.

There is no longer the same as before, seeing that the girl is uncomfortable and letting her cook.

That would really drop the favorability, and maybe it should be said that the girl would be unhappy.

Moreover, no matter whether or not the gene capsule could restore Aakura's sense of taste, he wouldn't let her take the second pill anytime soon.

If the treatment is successful, it means that there is a sense of taste for one year.

If you fail, you have to wait a while.

She is in a very bad state now, and he is afraid that she will not be able to bear it after taking two gene capsules in succession.

It's not a game after all, and being sick in bed isn't a matter of words.
