After thinking about it, Ninomiya Chizuru agreed with what he said.
We are all adults. We may experience troubles and setbacks in life. There is no need to publicize it and spread negative energy.
In this world, no one can have everything go their way.
Putting the matter aside, they continued looking at the photos.
Because there were too many, Kurosawa Mitsuru stood up and sat next to her so they could watch together, which was more convenient.
"Don't you rarely take selfies? How come you have so many photos?"
Kurosawa Hikaru looked at her past photos and liked them very much, but also felt confused.
"Runa thinks that going out to play is like traveling, and you must take some photos as a souvenir."
"Why didn't she suggest taking pictures when we went to the amusement park before?"
"Maybe it's because Runa thinks that it's not a photo, but evidence."
Ninomiya Chizuru glanced at him and guessed.
"Hahaha."
Hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.
If you think about it carefully, this is really the style of an agent... Although that trip to the amusement park is worth remembering, it would be a big problem if it was accidentally seen by others or leaked.
"This is a photo I took with Runa at Zenrinji Temple in Kyoto during our sophomore year."
As the background changes, Chizuru Ninomiya also explains the story in the photo.
If you don’t take photos when traveling, it would be a big loss.
Because the world is so big, there are many places that you may never visit again in your lifetime.
"it's beautiful."
There are many advantages to sitting next to each other and looking at photos together. Kurosawa Hikaru can smell her fragrance from a close distance, and the feeling of looking at the photos makes him feel wonderful.
Although Japan has a rather depressing social atmosphere, it is a developed country and the pace of life is relatively slow.
In this context, being with the girl you like, watching TV series, watching short videos, and looking at photos are the little sweet things in life.
"Are you talking about me or Runa?"
Ninomiya Chizuru raised her eyes and glanced at him.
Looking at photos of my girlfriend and her best friends is actually quite difficult.
Birds of a feather flock together. If a girlfriend is very beautiful, her best friends usually won't be too bad either.
In fact, most girls are worried about their boyfriends and have ideas about their best friends.
In contrast, boys generally don’t care about this, and they don’t worry at all that their girlfriends will fall in love with their brothers.
"Of course I'm talking about you, but Miss Runa and the scenery are also very beautiful."
Despite this, Kurosawa Mitsuru did not feel guilty. Instead, he stretched out his arms and embraced her slender waist from behind.
When getting along with girls, boys should take action when necessary.
Because if you don't take action, you will never know where a girl's bottom line is.
Without physical contact and preparation, there is no chance to move to the next step.
What's more, his relationship and feelings with Chizuru are just this level of contact and are harmless.
"Do you think Runa looks better with short hair or long hair?"
Ninomiya Chizuru lowered her eyes to look at his hand, and instead of stopping him, she asked.
"Can we not talk about her?"
Even though Kurosawa Hikaru was thick-skinned, he couldn't stand her direct question and looked distressed.
Paying attention to other girls in front of girls is a taboo.
Paying attention to your girlfriend's best friends in front of her is like walking in a minefield.
"Okay, but you have to answer this question first."
Ninomiya Chizuru leaned back and rested in his arms.
"She looks gentle with long hair and mature with short hair. Each has its own advantages. As long as she likes it, it's fine."
Realizing that she was unwilling to let him go, Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a moment and finally answered the question.
When dealing with girls, there are no correct answers to many questions, as they vary from person to person.
Generally speaking, it’s best not to tell girls whether you like long or short hair.
If you like short hair and the girl happens to have short hair, that's fine... but if it's the other way around, then from the girl's perspective it's like you want her to have long hair.
"I think so, too."
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded.
The reason why she had not speculated about Runa cutting her hair short for many years was because she had this idea.
What's more, most girls in the world who have long hair have had an impulse to cut their hair short.
Although long hair looks good, there are many inconveniences in life when it comes to maintenance, care, and even washing your hair.
"Do you and Ms. Runa go out together every year?"
Looking at photo after photo, as she skated into her junior year, Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help but sigh.
Although he had known for a long time that Ninomiya Chizuru and Igarashi Runa were good friends since childhood... but a friendship of more than 20 years didn't sound very real, and now seeing the photos made it real.
"She was the one hanging out with me."
“Is there any difference?”
"Of course there is a difference, because she always invites me... She values our friendship very much, and she also knows that I am not good at making friends, so she often asks me to play."
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded and explained.
"oh oh."
Kurosawa Hikaru seemed to understand something.
He had no empathy for this matter... because he had never experienced the true friendship between Chizuru and Miss Runa.
However, he could probably figure out that this was the difference in companionship.
In terms of personality, it is not difficult to see that Chizuru has a rather dull personality, which is very similar to him.
This is his second life. From childhood to adulthood, he has been pursuing academic studies and achievements, preparing for the future, and forgetting the preciousness of youth.
Chizuru's situation was due to family reasons. Her parents were too strict, and in order to meet her parents' requirements, she must have been immersed in studying when she was young.
"Kurosawa, when you were pursuing Runa, did she show any disgust?"
Suddenly, Ninomiya Chizuru raised her eyes and asked.
"Didn't you just promise me?"
When Kurosawa Hikaru came to his senses, he felt numb.
It was true that they were still talking about Igarashi Runa, but as long as he was not involved, it didn't really matter.
"One last question... Actually, Runa once said that she hates playboys, and she also asked me to let her screen any boys I like in the future. I don't know if my wish for you to win her back will cause her trouble."
Ninomiya Chizuru realized that she had broken her promise, choked, rubbed against his arms, and lowered her head.
She is stuck in the quagmire, unable to extricate herself, and believes that she cannot leave Kurosawa.
But Runa is an outsider... She wants to drag Runa into this, simply out of selfish motives, to use this opportunity to prevent her best friend from marrying someone else and leaving her side one day.
"No."
Kurosawa Hikaru pondered for a long time before finally answering.
He finally understood why Chizuru was always so concerned about the emotional progress and relationship between him and Miss Runa.
She thought that having good friends for life was a good thing, but she was not sure if Runa thought so too.
"That's good."
Ninomiya Chizuru breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, she also knew that it was not good for her to mention other girls to Kurosawa.
But matters concerning Runa are too important to her.
After discussing this topic, they continued to look at the photos.
…
Musashino Honkan offers one night and two meals. The higher the level of the hotel, the richer the meals provided. This service is very good in all the hotels in Japan.
There was no need to go out to find food for lunch. As the time reached 12 o'clock, the female clerk who was responsible for their food, clothing, housing and transportation during their stay gently knocked on the door.
"Is it already 12 o'clock?"
Hearing the questioning voice outside the door, Kurosawa Mitsuru came back to his senses and was a little surprised.
Happiness will make time pass by unnoticed.
Lunch is eaten in the room and the waiter will send someone to serve it. It is quite rich and is a kaiseki cuisine.
In fact, the portions of Japanese food are quite large and it is easy to get full.
After eating and drinking their fill and resting for a while, they went out.
Although it was noon, the sun was shining brightly.
But it's a rare trip, and it would be a waste to stay in the hotel all the time.
There are many fun places in Hakone, and with the guidance of photos, Kurosawa Hikaru also selected several locations.
“Would you like to take a picture?”
At Owakudani, Kurosawa Hikaru, who was holding an umbrella to shade her from the sun, looked at the scenery and asked.
"Hmm..."
Chizuru Ninomiya, who was wearing a mask, was troubled when she heard this suggestion.
Looking at old photos can bring back many good memories... Inspired by this, she actually doesn't hate taking photos.
However, now she is wearing a wig, a mask, and a beautiful boy, and you can’t tell it’s herself.
"Take a photo and send it to Miss Runa to see how she reacts."
Kurosawa Hikaru could probably guess what she was thinking and suggested.
Maybe Chizuru looks like she is doing Cosplay, but she doesn't do it because she loves it. She just wants to disguise herself so that people won't recognize her.
Although she did not deliberately change her words and deeds, and could not be said to have become a different person, in the eyes of others, she was not the same person.
"OK."
Chizuru Ninomiya, who was originally hesitant, suddenly became interested.
She was very curious about what Runa's reaction would be if she took a photo with Kurosawa Hikaru.
Inspired by this, although she was revisiting the old place, she had more fun having fun.
Although she has no experience in filming, Chizuru Ninomiya becomes more active and has many tricks up her sleeve.
“Shoot it like this.”
During the photo shoot, Chizuru Ninomiya became playful and deliberately made some intimate movements, such as linking her arms and hugging Kurosawa Hikaru.
The purpose of her doing this was either to tease Runa or to use it as an excuse to do some intimate actions, Kurosawa Hikaru was too lazy to guess, anyway, he was the one enjoying it.
Starting from Owakudani, Lake Ashi, the Museum of the Little Prince, and the Glass Museum, they took a lot of photos at each stop.
It was not until the evening that they returned to the hotel.
"Kurosawa, I'll pick a few pictures later, and you can send them to the group to see how she reacts."
Led by the female clerk, Chizuru Ninomiya returned to the room and could no longer wait.
"OK."
Kurosawa Hikaru naturally followed her wishes.
Considering this half-day date, he finally understood... If he wanted to arouse the playfulness of the aloof and cool sister Qianhe, he had to rely on her bestie.
This date was not planned by him. Chizuru had been to Hakone many times and had seen all the scenery in this place, but she still had a lot of fun.
