"Why not?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was very determined to pursue her and insisted that she explain the reason clearly.
"I… "
Seeing his persistent attitude, Ninomiya Chizuru parted her cherry lips slightly, not knowing how to respond.
Because giving me a spa is equivalent to touching my entire body
To put it this way is too straightforward.
Moreover, her relationship and feelings with Kurosawa have reached the stage of discussing marriage, and they have even met each other's parents.
As for physical contact, we held hands, carried each other on the back, hugged each other, kissed each other, and even kissed my ears and neck.
"All right."
After a moment of silence, Ninomiya Chizuru finally made up her mind and nodded.
She thought about it seriously and realized that she invited Kurosawa to the hot spring this time just to break through that layer of paper and say goodbye to the platonic love.
This trip to the hot springs in Hakone was the first time she had taken the initiative to invite someone after mustering up the courage and determination.
Because she couldn't wait any longer. Kurosawa was too slow to warm up to her when he was with her. They only had a little contact each time and progressed gradually.
Although doing so is very respectful to her and makes her heart flutter and she can't help but feel happy, every date is extremely sweet.
She liked Kurosawa's gentlemanliness and politeness, but because of this, she also wanted to see Kurosawa's other side, where he longed for her and tore off his gentlemanliness and politeness.
"Are you agreeing to this?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that she would actually agree, and was a little surprised.
In fact, he was just using the house demolition theory to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.
Because this date is a hot spring trip with Ninomiya Chizuru
Mission objective: Meet her at a hot spring, wash her feet, kiss her ten times, and let her hold you while she sleeps
Mission duration: 7 days.
Mission Funding: Entry-level Piano, Entry-level Finance-Investment Theory (Experience Card)
Mission rewards: Entry-level piano, entry-level finance-investment theory (permanent)
That’s right, his goal was not a spa at all, but a foot wash.
In order to wash her feet as a matter of course, Kurosawa Hikaru came up with an idea when he heard her mention that she always had a spa.
Although he didn't know much about the massage industry, he knew that girls who wanted spa and massage usually looked for female beauty therapists... Only a few open-minded people would look for male beauty therapists.
He could sense that Sister Qianhe would not agree... but unexpectedly, she actually agreed.
"I agree. Are you satisfied now?"
Seeing his surprise, Ninomiya Chizuru felt embarrassed and annoyed and rolled her eyes at him.
She had no choice because she felt that if she didn't even let him do the spa, it would probably dampen his enthusiasm.
If he thinks I'm still on guard, he'll probably behave himself, and this trip to Hakone will be in vain.
"I'll give you a massage tonight. Don't worry, I really know how to massage."
Kurosawa Mitsuru was naturally happy to suddenly receive an unexpected surprise. He smiled and promised.
Since Sister Qianzuru was willing to let him do a spa, that meant it was no problem for him to help wash her feet.
"Then I'll wait... Let's make it clear in advance. I have a lot of experience and I can tell whether you can give a massage or not. If I feel that you can't do it, I'll ask a beauty therapist to do it for me."
Ninomiya Chizuru was very embarrassed, knowing that she had agreed to something extraordinary. She completely let down her guard and reserve, and tried hard to reshape her cool image.
In fact, she didn't believe that Kurosawa Hikaru could give a massage.
Because real massage is not just about kneading your shoulders and patting your back, it requires very particular techniques.
But to her, whether Kurosawa can do it or not is not important at all.
Besides that, she was also giving herself an insurance policy... If Kurosawa went too far and she was too embarrassed to endure it, she would have the right to call a halt.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Kurosawa Hikaru had no idea what she was thinking, but he was confident in his skills.
Push, hold, press, knead, rub, rub, twist, pluck, pull, stretch... He knows all the massage techniques.
What's more, he can do things that others can't do, even bone straightening is not a problem for him.
Perfect level massage, looking around the world, I’m afraid there’s no one better than him.
"Let's go out and play this afternoon. Are there any games you're interested in playing?"
Putting this matter aside, Ninomiya Chizuru decided to change the subject.
It is now around 10:30 and there is still plenty of time before lunch.
"This is my first time here, and I don't know anything about Hakone. You decide."
Kurosawa Mitsuru shook his head and did not offer any comments.
Is he interested in the various attractions in Hakone? He is interested in Chizuru.
As long as he was with her, he could have a lot of fun playing Gobang or flying chess.
"When Runa and I came to Hakone, we took some photos. Do you want to see them?"
Ninomiya Chizuru thought about it and agreed, then picked up the phone and asked.
"OK."
Hearing the invitation, Kurosawa Mitsuru agreed without thinking.
If a girl wants to show you her old photos, any smart man will never refuse.
You should know that when a girl sends you a photo, it is giving you a chance to get to know her.
If you are looking at photos together, it is even a legitimate reason to sit with a girl.
"I'll look for it."
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded and lowered her head to operate her mobile phone.
"This was taken during our winter break during my freshman year when we traveled to Hakone. The location was Owakudani."
After a while, Ninomiya Chizuru found a photo, pointed her phone at him, and introduced it to him while showing it to him.
"At the time, Runa and I went fishing together. I caught five fish, but she didn't catch any, and she got angry."
She felt particularly good when she recalled her good friend's embarrassing moments.
"You also braided your hair."
There are many ways to compliment a girl, but Kurosawa Hikaru did not compliment her fishing skills and luck. He just looked at the photo carefully and couldn't help but sigh.
I don't know what year this photo was taken. Chizuru in the photo has four pigtails and some hair is naturally fallen out. She looks very beautiful, giving people the feeling of a literary girl with a very elegant temperament.
In my freshman year, according to the normal school age, I should be 19 years old.
Although 19 years old, Chizuru looks a little immature, she is already a super beautiful girl.
Although her figure and looks were not like they are now, with a very queen-like style and curvy figure, at that time, the aura of an iceberg beauty was already visible.
"Runa braided it for me... Runa used to have long hair. Do you think it was pretty?"
Ninomiya Chizuru noticed that he was staring at the photo with fascination and amazement. She felt a little proud but also a little shy, so she turned to guide him.
Although Runa said that she was too slow and was a drag, she didn't think so.
You know, she is likely to sleep with Kurosawa tonight... This speed is much faster than Runa.
According to her speculation, Runa and Kurosawa's relationship probably only went as far as kissing, and only a few times at that.
That's right, if conditions permit, she still wants to help Runa.
"She is indeed very beautiful... I thought she had short hair all her life. When did she cut it?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru looked at it carefully and was also surprised.
In the photo, Runa Igarashi has her long silver-gray hair hanging down, with one side of her hair tied up with a headband. She looks particularly gentle... She doesn't even need home clothes to set off her, and you can tell at a glance that she is a very gentle and soft girl.
A soft girl is the kind of girl who will cry for a long time if you punch her and is easy to bully.
He really didn't expect that Miss Runa had such a side to her. It was really surprising.
You know, although Miss Runa now has a gentle side, her flawless and decisive style of doing things, as well as her fashionable and hot outfits, make her look quite handsome and capable.
"She had long hair since she was a child, but she cut it off after graduating from college and starting to work as an agent... The reason is that she said she took Ms. Fujiwara to various places to do things, and people always thought she was not an agent but an artist, which was very troublesome."
Chizuru Ninomiya knows the details and situation of her best friend very well.
"She's also very beautiful with short hair, so why wouldn't she be considered an artist? This can't be the reason."
Kurosawa Mitsuru did not agree with this statement.
Although he doesn't judge people based entirely on appearance, he falls in love with everyone he meets.
But every girl he likes is a stunning beauty who would attract a lot of attention when walking on the street, and Igarashi Runa is no exception.
"That's what she said."
"I think she probably thinks that with long hair, she looks too feminine and is likely to be looked down upon and bullied... After all, it's not easy for girls in any workplace."
Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head and expressed his own opinion.
"Now that you put it that way, it's indeed possible."
Ninomiya Chizuru thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.
"Ms. Runa had long hair since she was a child, which means she really liked it, but she cut it off. She must have encountered something that made her decide to change. As for the reason she told you, it was probably because she didn't want you to worry.
Although Kurosawa Hikaru has not yet graduated and officially entered the society, he has worked hard to become an elite and has done a lot of research and inquiries about the workplace environment in Japan.
In Japan, it is very difficult for women to hold high positions.
There are only three ways for girls to achieve career success.
The first one is the pillow business, which is a unique way for girls to get promoted... In this society, girls can easily get a lot of things as long as they are willing to sell their beauty.
The second is to rely on talent, relying on absolute ability and achievements, climbing up step by step, and speaking with strength.
The third is to rely on background. Having a background can help her clear the obstacles to promotion.
The workplace environment for boys is not very good either, because Japan’s seniority culture is particularly serious.
Maybe in Japanese dramas and comics, seniors and juniors seem to get along well... But the reality is cruel, and workplace bullying is particularly serious.
He is very disgusted with this culture of predecessors... He upholds the culture of mutual respect, you respect me three points, and I respect you one foot.
Of course, Chizuru Ninomiya also knows the workplace situation in Japan, which is very bad for girls.
It’s just that she and Runa have always been able to talk about anything and they trust each other very much, so when Runa told her the reason for cutting her hair, she naturally believed it and didn’t think much about it.
"No way, did she lie to me? What happened to her?"
After his reminder, Ninomiya Chizuru immediately felt something was wrong and became worried.
If you think about it carefully, it is really not an easy thing for Runa to cut off the long hair that she has loved since she was a child.
"She didn't lie to you on purpose. It must be a white lie... Just like your career at the University of Tokyo wasn't all smooth sailing, and there were bound to be some things that didn't go your way. Miss Runa's situation should be similar. You don't have to worry too much about her. She's so smart that she won't let herself suffer any loss."
Kurosawa Mitsuru just felt that something was wrong and guessed that he didn't mean to scare her. Seeing that she looked worried, he comforted her.
"Something went wrong..."
Ninomiya Chizuru seemed to be thinking about something.
"Have you told her about the rumors you encountered in school?"
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't want his speculation to cause any problems in their relationship, so he asked.
"No, it's just that some people are gossiping about it behind her back. If I tell her, she will be worried."
Ninomiya Chizuru shook her head. Although she felt a little annoyed when she heard the rumors in the school, she didn't care much.
A person of integrity has nothing to fear. No matter what you say, she is very clear about her situation and is not afraid at all.
"It's almost of the same nature. Since it's not a big deal, there's no need to talk about it."
Kurosawa Hikaru saw that she didn't say anything as expected, he had expected this.
Whether it is Sister Chizuru or Miss Runa, maybe it’s because people are divided into groups, they are all excellent, strong, mature and smart.
