The journey from Tokyo to Nagano Prefecture is very long, more than 200 kilometers, and it takes more than two hours even on the highway.
Before leaving the city and entering the highway, you have to wait for traffic lights along the way.
While waiting, because the date day had finally arrived, he also reviewed the tasks.
Date Mission: Outdoor Sketching Trip with Ninomiya Chizuru
Mission objective: Go out with her alone, go to a place at least 150 kilometers away from Tokyo, sketch outdoors, use her as a model, and paint a portrait of her. Sit by the river with her, or soak her feet by the stream, and make her shy three times.
Mission duration: 240 hours.
Dating funds: entry-level painting skills, entry-level cooking skills - Japanese food, entry-level cooking - Western food. (Experience card)
Mission rewards: entry-level painting skills, entry-level cooking skills - Japanese food, entry-level cooking - Western food. (Permanent)
After reading the mission objectives, Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at Ninomiya Chizuru in the co-pilot seat with his peripheral vision, and his mind became active.
The first mission objective is very simple. Just drive for two hours to reach Nagano Prefecture, and then you can find any place to complete it.
The second task is not difficult either, because it requires basic painting skills, and there are no high-score painting requirements. It is just a simple portrait.
Only the third and fourth tasks are a bit difficult.
"Want to soak your feet together?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru glanced at her beautiful legs wrapped in thin black stockings under her skirt, and pondered secretly.
Soaking feet together in the river seemed like a very simple task to him.
Because it is a hot summer now, they chose the riverside as the sketching location. After she finished modeling, he would take the initiative to go and soak her feet. It would be enough to just invite her directly.
But the problem was that she didn't follow the routine. She didn't go bare-legged like she did last time when she went to the amusement park. Instead, she wore stockings.
In this case, if you want her to soak your feet together, it means you have to ask her to take off her stockings first.
To be honest, whether it is asking someone to wear or take off stockings, it is not an easy task.
The problem is how to get her to take off her stockings reasonably and soak her feet together.
"Shy three times... What should I do?"
This was originally a difficult problem. When Kurosawa Hikaru thought of the fourth task, he felt a headache again.
The psychological and emotional state of shyness is very simple to explain: it means feeling embarrassed and ashamed.
Usually, people feel shy when they say something that they are embarrassed to say, or do some special actions and behaviors in front of others.
Some people are thin-skinned and easily shy, but some people are thick-skinned and find it difficult to be shy.
Common shyness is talking in front of a lot of people, confessing to someone you like, and wearing revealing clothes.
He actually has experience in making people shy.
During his previous filming date with Yuki, he successfully made Yuki shy three times.
But the problem is that his method at that time was quite extreme.
For example, he asked Xiao Yuki to lift her skirt continuously until she was about to expose herself.
For example, he let Yuki crawl on the sofa like a cat, lick the back of his hand, and imitate the cat's meow.
For example, he would lie on the ground, holding the camera, and let Yuki step towards the camera from above.
The mission was completed at that time thanks to his thick skin to make such an outrageous request, and Yuki's cooperation was also important, as she obeyed him and did as he was told, as well as the fact that it was in the privacy of a hotel room.
But this time, they were going to sketch outdoors, and it was impossible for Miss Ninomiya to be like Yuki, who would obey his camera and do whatever he said.
Things like lifting up her skirt, crawling like a cat, and making movements like stepping on him... As long as he said it out loud, he would definitely be considered a pervert.
"Why do you look at me from time to time but don't say anything?"
At this moment, Ninomiya Chizuru took the initiative to speak.
From the beginning, she felt that Kurosawa Mitsuru looked at her from time to time. After all, there were only two people in the car, and they were both sitting in the front seat.
However, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't know what was going on and remained silent. No one knew what he was thinking. She waited for a while and couldn't help it.
"No, I was looking in the rearview mirror."
When Kurosawa Mitsuru heard this, he was stunned and immediately thought of a reason.
He didn't want to lie, but it was impossible for him to tell the real reason.
After all, he couldn't say, "I'm looking at your legs because I'm thinking about how to make you take off your stockings later, and I'm looking at your face because I'm thinking about how to make you shy three times," right
"Look in the rearview mirror?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was stunned when she heard this. She turned her head to look at the rearview mirror outside the car window and was stunned for a moment.
“So he wasn’t looking at me, but at the rearview mirror?”
The next moment, she lowered her head and screamed in her heart. Realizing that she had misunderstood, her face suddenly turned red and she felt ashamed.
She is too self-conceited. Drivers do need to look at the rearview mirror from time to time in order to drive normally.
At the same time, the system's voice sounded in Kurosawa Hikaru's mind:
"Mission progress update, make her shy, 1/3."
The system is very intelligent, sometimes it prompts him with text and sometimes with sound.
For example, when he doesn't need to focus on something with his eyes, he uses words.
If you're driving like you're doing now and your attention is distracted, you can easily get into an accident, so just use your voice.
"Is this all right?"
Hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru was stunned. He didn't expect that he could complete the task just by making up a random sentence.
From this point of view, it is not that difficult to make her shy three times.
Thinking about it carefully, he had just fallen into a misunderstanding and was getting stuck in a dead end.
In fact, everyone's shamelessness and embarrassing situations are different.
For example, Yuki Kojima. On that day when we were taking photos in the hotel, she didn't take off her makeup after the photoshoot. Even though she was wearing twin ponytails, a big anime T-shirt, and furry slippers, she dared to walk on the street, or even go home.
But if it were Miss Ninomiya, she would probably not even want to wear it, let alone go out on the street, because it is too embarrassing.
"You're really thinking too much." Realizing that she was easily shy, Kurosawa Mitsuru felt a lot more relieved.
"Sorry, I thought you were looking at me,"
At this moment, Ninomiya Chizuru, after feeling extremely ashamed, apologized for her self-conceited behavior.
The other person was driving seriously, but she, who was just an idler, might have misunderstood him.
"It's okay. Are you hungry? Why don't you eat something first?"
Kurosawa Hikaru saw that her pretty face was slightly flushed, which was quite cute. He was very pleased with her and decided to change the subject.
Although I felt a little sorry for her, because she didn't misunderstand me at all, I was indeed looking at her.
But it was difficult for him to admit this. After all, if he admitted it, it would be difficult to explain if Miss Ninomiya asked him what he was thinking.
"Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"
Ninomiya Chizuru also went down the stairs, not wanting to dwell on what had just happened.
"Rice balls?"
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't expect her to ask this, and after a moment of silence he spoke.
"Then stop by a convenience store later and I'll go buy it."
When it comes to spending money, Chizuru Ninomiya is very active.
There was no particular reason, not because of the money, but she just felt that she was older and Kurosawa Hikaru was still a student.
"No need to buy it, just open the storage box in front of you and take a look."
Sensing her kindness, Kurosawa Mitsuru drove to the next traffic light, stopped, and said.
Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru did as she was told and reached out to open it.
There was a lunch box and two bottles of water in the storage box. I took out the lunch box and opened it, and there were twelve rice balls the size of eggs inside.
"Did you buy it on the way to pick me up?"
Ninomiya Chizuru found the food, poked one of them with her finger, and found that it was still hot, so she asked.
"I didn't buy it, I made it." Kurosawa Mitsuru shook his head slightly.
"You made the rice balls?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was surprised and looked down again.
"Do you dare to eat the rice balls I made?" Kurosawa Mitsuru teased.
"Why not?"
When Ninomiya Chizuru heard this, she reached out and picked it up. It felt quite warm, probably because the lunch box was insulated.
However, she didn't put it in her mouth, but looked at him.
He is still driving, and it is not good for him to eat first.
"You eat first. I'll wait until the next traffic light to eat."
Noticing her concern, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.
"good."
Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru thought about it and felt that it would be impolite to be so shy, so she simply nodded.
She ate very gracefully, supporting the food with one hand and bringing it to her mouth with the other before taking a bite.
The seaweed had a nice crispy texture and wrapped around the rice, which tasted pretty good, followed by a burst of sourness.
"Plum rice balls?"
Ninomiya Chizuru's eyes lit up and she thought it was delicious. She also discovered the true appearance of this rice ball.
"How about it?"
Seeing her surprised look, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.
It was worth it for me to get up at 6:30 to get ready just to see her eyes light up.
“Very delicious...better than the ones in convenience stores.”
Ninomiya Chizuru did not hesitate to praise in this regard, because the first sentence of praise was a bit monotonous and supplementary.
In fact, although she looks aloof, it doesn't mean she doesn't talk much. On the contrary, she is very talkative.
After all, as a teacher, you must be eloquent, otherwise how can you teach in class.
It's just that she is rather introverted and not good at expressing her emotions and true thoughts, and usually there is no need for her to do so.
But this time, she couldn't help but show her surprise.
Because this rice ball is super delicious! It can be said to be the best rice ball she has ever eaten.
The most important thing is that he remembered what flavor of rice balls he ate last time. She didn't say it at the time, but he still noticed it.
"That's good."
Seeing that she liked it very much, Kurosawa Hikaru nodded with satisfaction.
"I didn't expect your cooking skills were so good."
Ninomiya Chizuru couldn't help but take another bite. After chewing it carefully, she sighed.
"Is it considered good just to be able to make a rice ball?"
"If you can make rice balls so delicious, you can make other things too."
"Dudu!" At this moment, a loud horn sounded from behind.
When Kurosawa Mitsuru heard the sound, he looked up and found that the traffic light had passed, so he drove away quickly.
