"Here it comes..."
After reading the dating mission, Kurosawa Mitsuru was shocked.
The cooking skills he had been looking forward to have finally arrived.
What shocked him even more was that several of the paintings he drew actually met the triggering conditions for the dating mission.
It is obvious that Miss Ninomiya has a good impression of people who can draw, just like she likes boys who can play the piano.
There is no doubt that his painting skills this time touched a certain thought in Miss Ninomiya and aroused her desire for a date.
It has been ten days since our previous date at the amusement park.
In comparison, the date mission between him and Yuki is triggered very frequently.
Regarding this point, it is probably related to her personality. Xiao Yuki is a typical love-brained person, and she is also a hot girl who is a poor student. She doesn't study all day long, so naturally she is thinking about him.
But Miss Ninomiya is busy with work and doesn't have much time to think about it. She is also unwilling to contact him actively, so it is difficult to trigger the dating task.
"There's really no need to package it elaborately. Just follow this storyboard, introduce yourself first, and then film yourself playing the piano."
After reading the storyboard, Igarashi Runa couldn't help but flick the paper with her fingers, and she agreed more and more.
She could imagine that the various camera switches could indeed create a cool feeling and increase the charm of the characters, but in the storyboards, the calm show of skill gave people a more restrained charm.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that Kurosawa Hikaru's design of Zero Hour's form was for this purpose.
The piano form is a reserved and calm mysterious gentleman, while the singing form is a crazy and generous style.
“It’s a really nice painting.”
Ninomiya Chizuru also finished reading it, and looked up at Kurosawa Hikaru who was sitting on the sofa opposite her. Her praise was very sincere, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be shining.
It was only after getting to know Kurosawa Hikaru that she discovered that he had so many good qualities.
"If I have the chance, I want to draw you."
When Kurosawa Mitsuru saw her eyes, he was touched and mustered up the courage to speak.
"What do you want to draw me for?"
Ninomiya Chizuru didn't expect him to suddenly do this. She was stunned and a little embarrassed.
In fact, she had imagined... if they got married in the future, and her husband could paint, when they were alone together, she would be the model and her husband would paint her.
But suddenly, Kurosawa Mitsuru said this, which made her heart beat faster.
"Hmm! You want to draw Chizuru. Is this drawing serious?"
In response, Kurosawa Hikaru wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Igarashi Runa clenched his fist in front of his mouth and coughed lightly, showing that he was still there, and then joked.
As she spoke, she also winked at him to stop the matter from going any further.
Some things are only suitable to be said between two people alone.
She is not afraid of being a light bulb, but Chizuru is thin-skinned and reserved. If she continues like this, there will be no hope.
"Of course it's serious."
Kurosawa Hikaru noticed her assist, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and responded.
It was a close call. If Miss Runa, the god-level wingman, hadn't been beside him, he would have probably said some corny words in that excited state just now.
"I won't agree to a serious painting even if Chizuru agrees."
Having successfully changed the subject, Igarashi Runa spoke righteously.
"Runa, what are you talking about?"
When Ninomiya Chizuru heard this, she also reacted. She punched her speechlessly and scolded her with a smile.
"It's just a joke."
Igarashi Runa was punched but smiled brightly, not feeling any pain at all.
While complaining and playing, Ninomiya Chizuru also realized what Kurosawa Hikaru was thinking.
If it is a serious painting, then it doesn't seem to matter if I am just a model for him, after all, it is a serious painting.
As she couldn't help but look at him, although he didn't say anything, Kurosawa Hikaru also realized that something was going to happen.
I have to say that Miss Runa really is a great assist in every action, and there have been basically no problems. Should I say that as a best friend, she knows me too well
After reading the storyboard, they didn't quite understand the music score, but they could fully appreciate its value.
"I'm going to call that director and apologize to him."
After chatting for a while, Igarashi Runa stood up, said a few words and walked out of the room.
As she walked out and closed the door, the room suddenly became just a man and a woman, alone together.
The two people were alone, looked at each other, felt a little uncomfortable, and looked away.
Unlike the life guidance room at school, and excluding the haunted house, this was a rare time for them to be alone together.
Ninomiya Chizuru lifted her hair with her hand and sat back on the sofa. Her feet could not be seen through the coffee table, but her long legs were standing sideways, with smooth, round and white knees.
"Ms. Ninomiya, are you free next Saturday?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru clasped his hands together, pondered for a while, and after thinking about what to say, he spoke.
This opportunity of being alone together was specially created by Miss Runa, and we must seize it.
"What's wrong?"
Ninomiya Chizuru turned around and looked at him, her heart beating a little faster.
In fact, she also realized that Runa wanted to bring them together, and she could imagine what Kurosawa Mitsuru was going to say.
"I want to go sketching outdoors, and I was wondering if you could come with me."
Kurosawa Hikaru looked straight at her.
"I don't know if I'll be free someday. I'll give you an answer later."
Being stared at by him, Ninomiya Chizuru lifted her hair and spoke with forced calmness.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded, not in a hurry.
This time was different from the last time. He didn't use any threatening words like "If you don't agree, I'll find someone else."
This trick is fine if used once, but if used too often it will easily make people feel disgusted and develop a rebellious mentality.
"Do you think your method can really become popular? Runa has been very busy these days since she resigned. If she can achieve something as soon as possible and get her career on track, it should be able to help her settle down."
Ninomiya Chizuru changed the subject and talked about her concerns.
Although Runa was a workaholic before, starting a business is different from working a part-time job, especially in the early stages, before the career becomes stable, it is extremely tiring.
"There is a 99.87% chance that it will become a hit, but we cannot rule out the possibility of a very small number of successes."
Kurosawa Mitsuru also cooperated, crossed his legs, clasped his hands on his knees, and spoke after thinking for a while.
"You are so confident? Why didn't you want to be an artist before?"
Seeing his calm and confident posture, Ninomiya Chizuru was a little curious.
Before she met him, she never imagined that Kurosawa Hikaru was such an all-round talent.
In terms of academic performance alone, this boy has shown his excellent side, but now he is like a treasure mountain.
He is a top student, can play the piano, has excellent physical fitness, can sing, and draw. He is also very handsome, with an elegant, mature and steady temperament.
"Do you really want me to tell you?"
When asked about this, Kurosawa Hikaru looked at her with burning eyes.
"real."
Ninomiya Chizuru noticed his attitude, vaguely realized something, her heartbeat quickened, and she couldn't help but nodded.
"Because I want to spend more time with you outside of school."
Kurosawa Hikaru took a deep breath and said.
"..." When Ninomiya Chizuru heard this, her pretty face and neck turned red all of a sudden. She felt shy but secretly happy at the same time.
He said it, he really said it.
In fact, she also has this selfish motive.
I support Runa and Kurosawa Hikaru starting a business together. As a partner, I have a formal reason to meet him outside of school.
Seeing her cute reaction that was a huge contrast between joy and shyness, Kurosawa Mitsuru also smiled.
No matter how old a woman is, she is the same in that she likes to hear nice words. She will feel happy even if they are false, and will be even happier if they are true.
Making others happy is actually a happy thing.
More than ten minutes later, Igarashi Runa returned to the room.
"Done. It's almost time for tonight. Let's adjourn. Or, do something else?"
She walked into the room with dignity, looked at Kurosawa Hikaru and Ninomiya Chizuru, and found that they were surprisingly quiet, but there was nothing unusual in their expressions, so she felt relieved immediately.
"Let's adjourn the meeting."
Ninomiya Chizuru knew that she had been running around these days and was very tired, so she hoped she could rest for a while.
"Meet here on Friday night for a rehearsal,"
Kurosawa Hikaru had no objection to this.
"Let's go home and get some sleep."
Igarashi Runa was indeed sleepy, even though it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening, and she clapped her hands.
After that, everyone stood up and started walking downstairs.
Along the way, they saw lights turning off and on, and finally the three of them arrived at the garage.
Unlike the afternoon, this time Kurosawa Hikaru sat in the back row with Ninomiya Chizuru.
As she sat down, she took out sunglasses and a mask from her pocket and put them on again, being very particular.
"You should prepare it later."
Sitting in the driver's seat with her seat belt fastened, Igarashi Runa glanced through the rearview mirror and said.
"It's more conspicuous if you do it so deliberately."
Kurosawa Hikaru feels that by doing this, he seems to be trying to cover up his crime, and it would be difficult for others not to notice him.
Of course, if you were on the street, it would be easy to be ignored, after all, there are people coming and going.
"But others can't see your face clearly. Do you want to reveal your identity?"
"OK."
Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded, thinking that it made sense.
Immediately afterwards, the electric rolling door began to open under the remote control of the key.
We drove out of the garage, stopped, closed the rolling door, and waited until it was completely closed before setting off.
It was already night, and lights were on in every house on the streets outside the car window.
Along the way, Kurosawa Mitsuru looked at the scenery outside the window and then looked at the people beside him.
After hesitating, his hand inadvertently dropped and moved closer to Ninomiya Chizuru's hand. He touched it lightly and found her skin soft, smooth and cool.
The palms are a relatively sensitive part of the body, so this small movement naturally could not escape the eyes of Chizuru Ninomiya.
Ninomiya Chizuru pursed her lips gently under the mask, her heartbeat quickened a little. After hesitating, she still did not move her hand away, but just slightly turned her head to look out the window, pretending not to notice.
After testing and getting a tacit response, Kurosawa Mitsuru also put his hand on the back of her hand.
There was no light in the back seat of the car, so it was a little dark. Plus, it was late and everyone was tired, so the car was very quiet. But when their two palms were clasped together, their hearts were open and loud.
