During lunch break, Kurosawa Hikaru and Miyazaki Yuta had lunch together in the cafeteria.
The central cafeteria of the University of Tokyo has a wide variety of dishes at very cheap prices. Both teachers and students usually come here to eat.
This time, Kurosawa Hikaru changed his taste, ordered Akamon Ramen, and chose a seat.
"Look."
Yuta Miyazaki, who was sitting with him, also said this.
This seat is more crowded, unlike before when they would choose a more remote and empty place.
The reason for this is that in Ninomiya Chizuru, was sitting not far away with a female teacher.
As a famous beautiful teacher at the University of Tokyo, Chizuru Ninomiya is extremely popular.
Students from all disciplines, when they come to the cafeteria, will sit at a relatively close position, enjoying the beauties while eating, which is killing two birds with one stone.
"Um."
Kurosawa Hikaru did not hide it, after all, everyone was watching. He looked at Ninomiya Chizuru's beautiful face and discovered something.
Because of his perfect archery skills, his body has been strengthened and his eyesight is stronger than that of ordinary people.
That's right, even though they couldn't look each other in the eye, he looked carefully and discovered the slight bloodshot in Ninomiya Chizuru's eyes, and the slight tiredness in the corners of her eyes due to fatigue, which was very pitiful.
"You do look a little more tired than usual..."
Noticing this subtle change, Kurosawa Hikaru said secretly in his heart.
This kind of situation would never have happened to Miss Ninomiya in the past.
Because she has a good work schedule and is very serious about her work, her mental state has always been very good.
“It’s so beautiful.”
When Miyazaki Yuta saw this, he didn't have any inner thoughts, but instead sighed.
For him, it was rare to see Mr. Ninomiya in this state and it was very fresh.
In the past, because Kurosawa Mitsuru liked quietness, they always sat farther away. It was rare for them to choose a close seat like today.
"really."
Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly, having the same feeling.
Miss Ninomiya is really beautiful, not only in her facial features, but also in her formal outfit and her temperament.
Mature, majestic, cold, intellectual, and with a sense of abstinence, she gives people a natural sense of distance. You can feel her beauty at first glance.
At this moment, Chizuru Ninomiya, who was eating Akamon Ramen with her head down, felt a very strong gaze and looked up consciously.
For a moment, the two people faced each other from a distance.
But in the next moment, both sides tacitly looked away.
It goes without saying that both of them agree to keep an absolute distance in school.
"Why is he sitting here today?"
Ninomiya Chizuru tucked her hair with her hands, lowered her head to eat ramen, pretending not to notice, but she was a little panicked in her heart.
In the past, Kurosawa Hikaru always sat far away when eating with Miyazaki Yuta, and would never come so close.
And today he was eating Akamon Ramen just like me. Why didn't he eat all kinds of rice bowls? Did he choose the same one on purpose
By the way, I guess you didn't notice them staring at each other? You probably didn't notice anything unusual, did you
As for Kurosawa Mitsuru, he was not panicked at all. He just lowered his head and ate noodles.
The eye contact just now was very brief. Even if someone noticed it, it wouldn't matter. After all, he was a member of the Ninomiya group, so it was normal for him to care a little.
"I have to compensate her tomorrow." After realizing this, Kurosawa Hikaru also made secret plans.
Just then, his cell phone vibrated.
After discovering this, Kurosawa Hikaru took out his cell phone from his pocket and took a look.
This is a private message from Ms. Runa, not in the group anymore
"Done, it's settled. I'm having dinner with the person in charge of Kawai. I'll go to your house and give you the car keys around 9pm."
Apparently, he was planning to drive to pick up Miss Ninomiya, and Miss Runa was going to keep it a secret as a little surprise.
"OK."
After reading the message, Kurosawa Hikaru replied and put it back in his pocket.
Because the phone has been equipped with an anti-peep screen film, there is no need to worry about being seen even if Yuta Miyazaki is sitting next to him.
"What's wrong?" Miyazaki Yuta noticed his actions and asked curiously.
Although many people nowadays like to play with their mobile phones while eating, Kurosawa does not have this habit.
"My girlfriend's message." Kurosawa Mitsuru glanced at him and smiled.
In the eyes of alumni, Igarashi Runa is his girlfriend, so it’s okay to say that.
"oh oh."
Realizing that it was a message from his girlfriend, Miyazaki Yuta was tactful enough not to ask any further questions.
Everyone has privacy, especially when it comes to their girlfriend, so they shouldn't ask too much.
However, he found that Kurosawa Mitsuru had really changed. Since he had a girlfriend, his style of doing things was different from before.
Whether it is teaching him how to dress himself or teaching him to take the initiative to pursue things, it makes him feel particularly positive and more shining.
…
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Kurosawa Hikaru returned home, opened the refrigerator, and began to put the ingredients in the plastic bag into the refrigerator one by one.
After school, he made a special trip to the mall and bought a lot of food.
"Let's try our cooking skills first. Tomorrow's lunch box must be delicious enough."
After making all the preparations, Kurosawa Hikaru tied on an apron and stood in front of the stove.
Since triggering the sketching date mission, he has obtained experience cards for the two entry-level skills of Japanese food and Western food.
But he never had the chance to cook.
Because he has something to do every night, he comes home very late. Recently, he eats out directly. As for the weekends, they are even busier.
Immediately afterwards, Kurosawa Mitsuru picked up the kitchen knife, and a familiar feeling surged from his body.
Although he has always been able to cook, this time the feeling of holding the knife was like moving his fingers with his arm.
He took out a potato and began to peel it with skill and fluency.
“It feels good.”
As the potato skins were removed and looked smooth and beautiful, Kurosawa Hikaru felt a little happy.
After the meal was done, Kurosawa Mitsuru sat at the dining table for the first time in a long time and ate with relish.
"Ah... So good, this curry chicken rice is better than the restaurant."
As a person who loves eating, after getting everything done, Kurosawa Hikaru leaned back in his chair, touched his stomach, feeling very satisfied and in a very good mood.
I have to say that the entry-level skills given by the system are equivalent to the strength that ordinary people can only obtain after a lifetime of hard work. It is really strong.
And this time, it was Japanese and Western food. It’s really cool to have this skill that can be used in daily life.
Although these two skills are still trial cards and not permanent, even so, when he is cooking, as long as he thinks about what to do, he will know how to do it.
Even though it was his first time using his skills, the spicy curry rice he made was still incredibly delicious and amazing.
"You have to go to bed early tonight and get up early to prepare your lunch box tomorrow."
Looking up at the ceiling, Kurosawa Hikaru was also thinking about what to make for tomorrow's lunch box.
I definitely can’t make curry chicken rice.
Even though Miss Ninomiya's favorite dishes include spicy curry rice, he wants her to prepare a bento instead of making it fresh, and they won't eat it until noon.
By then, the curry will be cold and lack flavor... unless they go to a convenience store to heat it up in the microwave.
But if we do that, it won't be a picnic anymore and it will ruin the atmosphere.
“Go buy two cookbooks.”
Although he bought a lot of ingredients at one time, after much thought, Kurosawa Mitsuru decided that it would be better to select them carefully.
Every date is hard-earned, and no matter what happens, it will become a memory for both parties.
These words were what the system had told him.
In order to make the date without regrets, if you can try harder, then try harder.
Miss Ninomiya is probably still busy working for a date tomorrow, and she may even stay up late tonight to work overtime just to make time for tomorrow. How can he be lazy at this time
He did what he thought. Kurosawa Mitsuru stood up, drank a sip of water to help digestion, cleaned up the dishes, and went out.
Recipes can be purchased at any convenience store, and he didn't have to go too far to buy one nearby.
However, when Kurosawa Mitsuru walked out of the convenience store, he looked around, thought for a while, and did not go home, but went to the station.
…
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Igarashi Runa arrived at the door of the apartment on time.
After she parked the car, she wanted to send a message.
“Knock knock.”
But before she could edit the message, there were two taps on the car window.
"You're waiting for me here? Aren't you afraid that I'll be late?"
Igarashi Runa looked through the car window and saw that the person outside the car was Kurosawa Hikaru, so she lowered the window and smiled.
"I'm late, so I'm just downstairs from home anyway... You're wearing something special today."
Kurosawa Mitsuru shrugged. He didn't wait long. He just calculated the time and walked downstairs, and then he felt curious.
Although she was sitting, Miss Runa was wearing an OL suit this time, unlike her previous fashionable and hot outfit.
She wore a white shirt, a tight skirt, black stockings, and a pair of rimless glasses. She looked capable and mature, but still very sexy.
"What's so special about it? It's just work clothes. I'm going to Kawai today, so I have to dress formally."
Igarashi Runa noticed that he noticed her outfit, so she asked a question which also served as an explanation.
“Very beautiful.”
Kurosawa Hikaru decided to build a good relationship with Miss Ninomiya's best friend, so he was not stingy with his praise.
"Nonsense... get in the car."
Igarashi Runa was stunned for a moment when she heard this and gave him a speechless look.
This rolling of the eyes, with a smile and a hint of complaint, is so charming and touching.
Kurosawa Mitsuru smiled and nodded, walked around to the passenger seat, and got in the car.
He trusted Miss Runa very much and didn't have to worry about getting on the wrong bus or being abducted.
"Where are you going?"
As he sat down, Kurosawa Hikaru asked while fastening his seat belt.
"I'll find you a parking lot nearby. Although your apartment has a parking space, you probably haven't rented it."
Igarashi Runa pressed the button on the car door, the window automatically rose, and then she drove away.
Soon, they parked the car in a parking lot one kilometer away.
"I've filled up your tank, so feel free to drive. But remember to bring your driver's license with you when you drive."
The two got out of the car together. Igarashi Runa held the briefcase in one hand and handed the car keys to Kurosawa Hikaru in the other.
"Aren't you afraid that I can't drive and will crash your car?"
When Kurosawa Hikaru saw her, he directly handed over the car keys, took them and smiled.
"If you're not very good at driving, drive slowly. It's okay if the car gets damaged, but don't get yourself hurt. There will be a performance on Monday."
When Igarashi Runa heard this unlucky joke, she rolled her eyes at him and gave him a warning.
"Okay, this is for you."
After Kurosawa Hikaru locked the car with the car key, he put it in his pocket. When he stretched out his hand again, there was a gift box inside, which he handed to her.
"What's this?"
"A gift in return for borrowing the car."
"I just borrowed the car, what kind of gift do you want in return?"
"Don't you want it?" Kurosawa Hikaru pushed her.
“Of course, how can I refuse a gift…” Igarashi Runa didn’t hesitate and took it.
"Yin Dongwu's packaging, what did you give?" Immediately, she saw the pattern on the wrapping paper, which was the Yin Dongwu logo.
"It would be pointless to explain it, why don't you open it and take a look?" Kurosawa Mitsuru smiled and suggested without revealing the answer.
