The sky looked gray, and dark clouds hung over it, rolling endlessly, and the rain was falling.

There were pedestrians running on the side of the street with their bags on their heads.

The sudden downpour continued to wash away the dust on the ground of the city, like an irregular rainstorm in summer, but the key is that it is not yet summer.

Kiyoi Koizumi felt that he was very unlucky today.

I made an appointment with a friend to go out, but when I got to the place, the other party temporarily released his pigeon because of something, and I put on makeup for a long time in the morning, and it was wasted.

Waste is waste.

But that's not even the most unlucky.

In order to save money, she set off from the place she agreed with her friends, and planned to walk two stops before boarding the bus, so that she could save 50 yen, but the price was only a small distance.

And it's raining today.

Fortunately, I brought an umbrella with me to check the weather forecast before going out.

But before he had walked a few steps, when he passed by a foot bath shop full of colorful neon bulbs wrapped around the door frame, he saw a somewhat familiar person just come out of it, and he really knew each other.

It's a neighbor in his street.

It seems to be the one with the surname Takiya in front of the street.

met an acquaintance.,It stands to reason that with Qingyi Koizumi's tutor and personality, he should take the initiative to say hello.。

But the idea just came to me.

She couldn't help but hesitate.

The reason is also very simple, when she saw the very customary foot bath shop behind Takitanizawa, and the scantily dressed young girl at the bar inside, she instantly thought of connecting several words in her mind.

Foot baths, customs, men.

She seems to have found something amazing!

But what shocked her even more.

It's this boy who is not too familiar, I heard my mother mention it before, and it seems that there is a sister who is a policeman, but doesn't this seem to be illegal?

Isn't this simply knowing the law and breaking the law!?

But I heard that there are also places where it is legal...

I can't get this kind of thing, plus I met someone in this kind of place, and the two sides didn't know each other very well, Qingyi Xiaoquan hesitated for a long time, thinking that it was better to pretend not to know each other, and it would save embarrassment when the time came.

However, she was just about to leave when she was stopped by Takitanazawa, who seemed to recognize her.

Then, he seemed to be very familiar, and he got under his umbrella directly, and even squeezed her out, and her shoulders were wet, this is the new clothes she wore to go out today!

She endured all of them.

After all, they are neighbors, and they don't seem to be embarrassed, and it's not impossible to rub an umbrella if they want to.

But then she couldn't stand it anymore.

Although he was embarrassed, this boy named Takitanizawa seemed to be very familiar, and he talked to himself without a ride, thinking that it would not be so uncomfortable to get on the bus when he got to the stop sign.

But before he could take two steps, he happened to pass by a ramen shop when Takitanizawa suddenly stopped.

Because he said he was a little hungry.

Kiyoi Koizumi was a little puzzled at the time.

Then he said that he would invite him to dinner.

Kiyoi Koizumi's eyes widened directly.

You rubbed my umbrella, and I put up with it even when my clothes got wet, but you still want to spend my money and let me invite you to dinner, isn't this too much!

She wanted to refuse on the spot.

However, Takitanazawa seemed to have known her reaction for a long time, and suddenly mentioned her mother.

Before Kiyoi Koizumi opened his mouth, Takitanizawa began to output frantically, constantly saying that he had a friendship with his mother before, how many times he had helped him, and his mother promised to treat him to a light meal more than once.

In the end, with a sentence, she was gagged.

"Mother's debt is repaid, right?"

It was this sentence that made Qingyi Koizumi, who didn't know how to refuse anymore, hold back for a long time, and finally could only show a smile that was more ugly than crying and agreed.

I calculated in my heart that the extra cost of an extra bowl of ramen today seemed to be within the acceptable limit.

But it's only been less than five minutes since I entered the store.

Kiyoi Koizumi knew that he was completely wrong.

She sat by the window, looking out of the glass window with her chin on her hand, the rain that was blown by the wind kept drifting, and the water droplets covered the whole glass, crackling, and the water droplets covered the glass, which looked like it was broken, very similar to her broken heart.

"Wow! Sister, look! That brother looks so delicious, and there are already three bowls stacked next to him! ”

"Was there any time challenge for this store?"

"No, the sister next to that brother didn't eat much, she must be hungry, sister, why are you so stupid, your observation is not as good as Aina."

"Then I'll see if your ass is good!"

A pair of sisters who had just walked into the ramen shop looked at them and pointed at them, but before they could say a few words about the topic, they quarreled meaninglessly.

Kiyoi Koizumi covered his face.

Pain! It hurts so much!

She didn't expect Takitanizawa to be so edible!

In a rough run, these bowls of ramen and soda alone cost three to four thousand yen, not to mention side dishes and pickles such as fried tempura.

So much money was spent on this one.

We can't let it go on like this again!

"Taki, Takiya..."Kiyoi Koizumi gritted his teeth and asked in a nervous voice, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

"What is it called Takiya, with the friendship between our two families for decades, you don't even want to call me Brother Ze." Takitanizawa gulped down the ramen, took a sip of the soup from time to time, and replied inarticulately.

The ramen bowl is very large, but it is actually not much, so after eating three or two bites, I will drink the soup and put down the bowl I am holding.

"Trouble for another bowl!"

Takitanizawa raised his hand and shouted not far away.

Qingyi Xiaoquan's eyes were red, his fists were clenched tightly, and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Brother Ze!" ”

The surrounding diners looked over.

Her face stiffened when she saw this.

"What's wrong?" Takitanizawa turned his head to look at her.

At the glance of the surroundings, Qingyi Xiaoquan, who was still full of blood and blood, suddenly calmed down, raised his hand and pointed to the empty bowl next to him tremblingly: "You, haven't you eaten yet?" I've already eaten four full bowls! ”

I could see that she was really distressed, and her fingers began to tremble and start to spin when they were placed flat in the air.

And Takitanizawa was slightly stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he showed a look of hindsight, and hesitated: "Is it because you have eaten too much and made you embarrassed?" ”

Looking at Kiyoi Koizumi's hesitant face, Takitanizawa just pursed his lips and continued, "I understand. ”

With that, he touched his clothes up and down, then took out his leather wallet, opened it, fiddled with the bill, took out a brand-new Fukuzawa Yukichi from it, and stood up from his position.

"You, what are you doing here?" Qingyi Koizumi was a little confused, looked up at him who stood up and asked.

"Of course it's the bill, what else can I do."

Takitanizawa smiled when he saw this, waved the banknote in his hand, and then explained in a serious tone:

"I thought I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I made a joke to ask you to invite me to dinner, but I didn't expect you to agree, but now it seems that my appetite is a little big, which makes you embarrassed, I'm really sorry."

Qingyi Xiaoquan opened his mouth, his mood instantly became complicated, and he felt a sense of regret, and hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "No, no, I didn't!" ”

"Huh? So you just..."

Takitanizawa pretended to hesitate.

"I, I, that..." Qingyi Xiaoquan, who couldn't think of a good excuse, had a big tongue, and couldn't speak for a long time, when suddenly a flash of inspiration came to mind, and then he thought of a good reason, and hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that you eat too much and it's not good for your stomach, yes, that's it!" ”

"Isn't it really distressing about money?"

"Really, really."

"Can I eat another bowl then?"

"Yes!"

Looking at her firm eyes, Takitanizawa couldn't bear it, shook his head and said with a smile: "Forget it." ”

"Why did you forget it?" Qingyi Koizumi was anxious, and also took out his pink bear wallet and poked it directly in his face: "I have money, I really have money!" ”

This is really a lack of crutches.

Even the bicycle was given away!

"Don't think too much, I'm full." Takitanizawa really refused this time, and he was indeed full.

Seeing that she is not very good at giving up, she is a little helpless about the child's innocence, although she deliberately wants to coax people to invite, but now she has to calm down others.

"When I used to work as a porter, I had to work 10 hours a day, and I could eat five or six bowls of noodles like this, but of course, I definitely wouldn't come to the ramen shop to eat them, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pay the bills, so I usually bought them myself, and now I can't eat them before."

She just stood in place, staring at Takitanizawa in a daze, and said after half a sound: "The work is so hard..."

It's good that the attention was successfully diverted.

No one knows how to sell abduction better than I do.

"I also have to divide my physical and mental strength, I used to be physically tired, and I was tired more when I didn't work."

Takitanizawa explained with a smile again.

"Oooh."

Qingyi Koizumi nodded stunned.

A brief conversation was followed by silence.

After all, the two are quite strangers, and the word neighbor is not familiar in Japan, so it is better than strangers.

Qingyi Koizumi is obviously not a self-cooked.

However, Takitanizawa didn't let the atmosphere cool down, took a tissue and wiped his mouth, clasped his hands together and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hospitality today?"

"Huh? You're not paying again? ”

"Okay, let's go, I'll pay."

"No, no, no, I'll pay! I pay! ”

After a short half-push and half-push, Qingyi Koizumi paid in a daze and didn't complain at all.

I even forgot whether I ate it or not.

Takitanizawa glanced at the weather outside, it was still raining heavily in the dark, and it was raining like this, even if the car was at the door, it could be soaked in a few seconds.

After making up his mind, he turned his head to look at the stupid girl, and said with a serious face: "Coming and going is the truth of being a man, it's quite big outside, and it's not safe for girls to walk on the road by themselves in this kind of weather, so let's do it, I'll send you home personally." ”

Qingyi Koizumi didn't seem to have anything wrong when he heard it, and even felt that he was considerate, so he subconsciously said: "... Well..."

But as soon as she agreed, she didn't feel right.

It's like something is missing.

But I can't think of anything wrong.

Kiyoi Koizumi scratched the back of his head.

Hiss! My head is so itchy! Looks like I'm going to grow my hair!
