Neon is actually pretty weird... You can get married and get a marriage certificate at the age of sixteen, but you can only drink at the age of twenty.
However, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't like drinking and didn't want to get Miki Shiraha drunk. Instead, he took her into a cafe.
This is not a Starbucks, but a Japanese style coffee shop.
Because he rarely drinks coffee, Kurosawa Hikaru did not order coffee, but instead ordered a shaved ice. Miki Shiraha ordered an iced American coffee and a cake.
"Don't you like coffee, Kurosawa-senpai?"
After ordering, the two of them sat down across the table from each other.
"Not very often. I usually drink ice water or barley tea. How about you?"
"Whether I like it or not, I'm not sure... I just drink a cup of hot coffee to warm up my body. Even in the summer, if you stay on the ice for a long time, your hands and feet will be cold."
"Have you bought the camera I helped you choose before?"
After Kurosawa Hikaru figured it out, he was no longer reserved when interacting with her and chatted with her in a casual manner.
“I’ve already bought it.”
"How effective is it? I remember you used it to record figure skating training."
“It works, but I’m not very good at using it. I can only take panoramic photos with a long lens.”
"As long as it can be used."
"At this time, shouldn't you say let me teach you?" Miki Baiyu looked at him and couldn't help but say.
Although she didn't know how good Kurosawa-senpai's photography skills were, he was definitely better than her.
Compared with girls, boys are better at using these digital devices.
"I'm quite busy recently, I'll be free next time."
Realizing the request, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.
"Busy?"
It's a bit of a pity for Miki Shiraha.
If you think about it carefully, Mr. Kurosawa is indeed very busy as he has to start a business and perform at the same time.
In comparison, she is relatively free because she doesn't have many social activities. Apart from going to school, she is either practicing dancing or skating.
"Very busy. Even during summer vacation, I still have a lot of schedule planned." Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded.
He didn't plan to go on a date with Miki Shiraha because there were too many things to do this summer vacation.
Whether it's being a Zero Time, or the Kyudo competition, or dating, or having a part-time job, or having to go back to my hometown to see my parents.
"When is the next time you are free?"
"Add your contact information later, I'll talk to you when I have time."
Kurosawa Hikaru still had some thoughts in his mind about her mission, because those rewards were not attractive to him.
This time he invited her to have coffee to thank her for being honest with herself, which inspired him.
"May I?"
Miki Baiyu was a little happy to hear him bring it up on his own initiative.
She had originally been thinking about finding a suitable time to add the contact information.
"I should have added it the night before... If I had, I wouldn't have had to go to the literature department to see if you were in school."
Seeing her beautiful smile, which was blooming for him, Kurosawa Hikaru nodded.
"I was really nervous that day, wondering if you were here to see me."
Speaking of this, Miki Baiyu couldn't help but say.
"I'm not looking for you, I'm going to see you."
"Kurosawa-senpai is really famous in school. Everyone is talking about you a lot... If they knew your hidden identity, I'm afraid it would be even more heated."
Miki Baiyu nodded, knowing that he was coming for her, and then smiled slightly, covering the right side of her face with her hand, and spoke in a low voice.
You know, the discussion about Zero Hour Master on the Internet is still very hot.
In addition to his superb piano skills, most people are most curious about the true face of the Zero Hour Master.
For example, how old is Master Zero Hour, what does he look like, and what kind of person he was before.
However, no matter how much speculation there is on the Internet, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to imagine that Master Zero Hour is a 20-year-old Tokyo University student who is so handsome.
"It has nothing to do with this. People just want to watch the fun. If you come to the economics department, the reaction will be even more enthusiastic."
"Yeah?"
"After all, students are more interested in gossip."
Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded, he was sure of it.
"How about I come to see you tomorrow?"
Miki Baiyu really wanted to verify whether this was true or not.
"I don't like to draw attention to myself."
In response to this proposal, Kurosawa Mitsuru looked at her and did not refuse, but just said it indifferently.
Today she specifically waited for me at the school gate. This matter would definitely cause a heated discussion between the Faculty of Literature and the Department of Economics.
After all, summer vacation is approaching, with only two days left, and everyone is in a more relaxed mood.
"All right."
Hearing this, Sanmu Baiyu had to give up the idea.
Not long after, the meal was served.
The two people sat opposite each other, eating and drinking while chatting.
Because this cafe is located near the Hongo Campus of the University of Tokyo, there are also students from the University of Tokyo here during school hours.
This handsome man and beautiful woman sitting together attracted a lot of attention in the store and had a strong presence.
The two of them kept a good distance and were just chatting.
We chatted from a little after three o'clock to half past four, and had to end it as Miki Baiyu received a phone call.
"Kurosawa-senpai, I should go to dance practice."
Miki Baiyu put down his phone and said.
"What kind of dance do you practice?"
Kurosawa Hikaru looked at her. Although she was sitting, she had a nice figure.
“Ballet, it goes hand in hand with figure skating.”
"There is also this reason..."
After hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru seemed to be thinking about something.
No wonder the funding for his date mission with her also included ballet. It turned out that he didn't know much about figure skating, but he knew that it was a very gorgeous ice sport.
"Add me your contact information. Next time you have something to do, you don't have to wait for me at the school gate. You can make an appointment directly."
After thinking about it, Kurosawa Mitsuru did not forget what they had agreed on before.
If I had just added her as a friend, she wouldn't have been waiting for me at the door like she did today.
This behavior is too eye-catching, and it is hard not to wonder whether Junior Sister Miki likes him and what its relationship with him is.
"Uh-huh."
Hearing this, Miki Baiyu nodded.
After that, they quickly added each other as friends on Line, and then Kurosawa Hikaru paid the bill.
Originally, Miki Baiyu wanted to split the bill, but he stopped her by saying, "It was me who suggested we have drinks, let's split the bill next time."
"Bye, you treated me this time, next time it will be my turn." As they walked out of the cafe together, Miki Baiyu waved at him with a stunning smile.
It was obvious that she was very satisfied with having afternoon tea together.
"Okay, bye." Kurosawa Mitsuru also smiled and waved goodbye to her.
Unlike the previous day which was at night, this time it was broad daylight, so there was no need to worry about her getting into any accidents.
After watching her walk away, Kurosawa Mitsuru turned around and walked away.
"Be honest with yourself..."
Walking on the street, as the frustration accumulated in his heart was swept away, Kurosawa Mitsuru also figured out what he wanted to do.
He is not a god, but a man.
No one is perfect.
Maybe he chose to have it all, but that doesn't mean he has no sense of responsibility.
It would be better to say that he was too responsible and didn't want to disappoint every girl who had a crush on him and had a spark with him.
If there is a girl who sees through his true face, knows that he is a playboy, and thinks it would be better for her to leave him, then he can't force her.
There was no point in worrying about what the result would be. He would know the outcome on the day of the Kyudo competition.
Instead of worrying about what will happen when the girls meet that day, the most important thing he should be thinking about right now is Kyudo.
He must become famous in one battle on that day and attract the attention and recognition of Shifengyuan's future grandfather.
If he was so caught up in these things that he performed poorly that day and failed to fulfill his promise to Shifengyuan about the future, that would be a big problem.
It doesn't matter if the mission cannot be completed. He must make sure that he can rescue the future from the cage in the future.
While he was thinking, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated continuously.
Realizing this, Kurosawa Hikaru took out his cell phone and took a look, and found that it was a voice call from Miss Ninomiya.
Seeing this scene, he did not hesitate and answered the phone.
"Where are you?"
Ninomiya Chizuru's words were cold, even a little anxious.
“Near the school gate.”
Noticing his tone, Kurosawa Hikaru stopped, looked around, and responded.
After more than an hour, it seemed that the news of him and Miki Shiraha being together had spread back to the school and even reached Miss Ninomiya's ears.
In fact, even if her tone was calmer, the fact that she took the initiative to call me meant that the situation was not normal.
After all, Miss Ninomiya is a relatively introverted and somewhat tsundere person. She doesn't even send him messages very often, so if she calls him, it means there's definitely something going on.
"What are you doing there?"
"I just had coffee with someone."
"With whom?"
"Miki-kun from the literature department."
Kurosawa Hikaru is very honest because this matter cannot be concealed and lying will only make the situation worse.
"Why did you have coffee with her?"
Faced with his frank admission, Ninomiya Chizuru paused for a few seconds and then asked.
"While we were chatting, I felt a little thirsty, so we had a drink together."
Because nothing happened and he had done nothing wrong, Kurosawa Mitsuru was very calm.
"… "
After a round of questions and answers, Ninomiya Chizuru suddenly fell silent.
Through the phone, Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't see her expression, but he could feel that she was not in a good mood.
However, he had no idea what to do about it and didn't know how to comfort her.
You know, this time he was just drinking coffee with his schoolmate in a public place, and nothing actually happened.
In comparison, his dates with Yuki-chan and Mirai were a big problem.
"What is your relationship with her?"
After a long silence, Ninomiya Chizuru spoke again.
“Just a schoolmate.”
Kurosawa Hikaru responded calmly.
He really doesn't have any special relationship with junior Miki at the moment.
Up to now, he has not even touched a finger of Miki Baiyu, keeping a good distance, neither close nor unfamiliar.
But before he could remain calm for long, Ninomiya Chizuru's words made his heart tremble.
"But I see you guys are having a great time, talking and laughing."
These faint words rang out from the mobile phone, passed through his ears and into his heart, making Kurosawa Mitsuru suddenly feel a chill.
This feeling is very terrifying, as if a piercing chill is rushing from the soles of your feet straight to the top of your head.
